Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 11 Gift Money of

Yi Zhonghai must demonstrate his organizational ability and prestige in front of everyone. Although he can definitely become the manager because he has a trump card, he still needs to sit tight and get recognition.

Order was gradually restored after half an hour, but He Yuzhu could see that everyone's movements had become slack and their attitudes had become perfunctory. Most people were bragging in groups of three or four, but few were actually doing anything. Even Yan Yang had become much lazier.

When He Yuzhu first came, Yan Yangshi was proactive in working. Now, she has to do the work only when Chef Li makes arrangements. If he doesn't, she will just sit and watch the fun. She doesn't know what's so good about this compound. This is the aftermath.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I warn you, don't wander around the compound, stay at home and don't go out. No one will disturb you. If you cause trouble again, I will take care of it."

Yi Zhonghai saw everyone's attitude and had no way to deal with it. How could he dare to blame anyone now? The existence of such stupid teammates made him very anxious.

"I...I...get it, Lao Yi. Don't worry, I will never leave the room. Just ask someone to bring me some food."

Jia Zhang is still thinking about food, and she is sure that Yi Zhonghai will not ignore it, but she feels tired and does not want to go out.

Yan Bugui calmed himself down, took a piece of paper and a pen and placed them on the table wrapped in bright red paper, ready to record the gift money. This was the rule, and Yan Bugui would record every important event in the compound.

When everyone saw Yan Bugui's posture, they knew it was time to add gifts. They whispered in groups of three or four, and then smiled knowingly.

Everyone was waiting for Yi Zhonghai to add gifts first and to see Yi Zhonghai's situation. He Yuzhu was preparing the side dishes and had not had time to go over yet. Since they were all neighbors, adding gifts was a must. He wanted to go over later to see how much everyone had and then add as much as he could.

Yi Zhonghai took out five yuan and put it in front of Yan Bugui. Comrade Yan's eyes were as big as cow's eyes. It was really difficult for Comrade Yan. His eyes were not big to begin with, but he could open them so much, which showed his shock inside.

"Old Yi added 50,000 yuan in gifts"

Although Jia Zhangshi did not come out of the house, she still saw the addition of gifts from the window. When she saw that Yi Zhonghai added 50,000 yuan, she smiled knowingly.

According to previous practice, each family could add at least 10,000 yuan. She went to bed with peace of mind, but after sitting for a while, she felt sleepy.

Yan Bugui cursed in his heart, "You and Lao Yi are the only couple, your salary is not low, but you also have to consider others. If you increase your salary so much, how can others get by? Hypocrite!!!"

After seeing that Yan Bugui had written it down for him, Yi Zhonghai smiled and went to arrange other things. There were many rules for a wedding banquet and all of them had to be taken into consideration, otherwise the bride's family would complain.

When others saw Yi Zhonghai walking away, they rushed forward. When everyone took out their gift money, Yan Bugui almost dropped his glasses. He took them off, wiped them carefully, and put them on again to confirm whether they were real.

Today he was finally enlightened. Yi Zhonghai added a sky-high gift money, but that was not all. The key point was that the neighbors did not play by the rules.

Everyone took out a thousand yuan and put it on the table. Looking at the yellow area in front of him, Yan Bugui looked at everyone blankly. Is this really okay for you?
Even Yan Bugui, who was well versed in calculating, twitched his lips. He really wanted to ask if everyone was going too far, especially Liu Haizhong's wife, Liu Zhao, who also added a thousand yuan. Was this Liu Haizhong's idea?
"Teacher Yan, you should remember the Sichuan Opera face-changing performance."

Everyone looked at Yan Bugui with amusement, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?
The chef saw how hard they worked and wanted to reward them, but you, Jia Zhang, didn't allow them to put any meat in. As a result, you ate all the meat yourself. If you were lucky, you could get a piece, but if you were unlucky, you would only have soup. So what? Did they owe you something?

“No, I remember.”

Yan Bugui, who was good at speaking, was speechless. The gift was small but the sentiment was great. There was no rule on how much money should be given as a gift. He was secretly happy. Would a thousand yuan be enough? There were many people in the family. A thousand yuan could feed the whole family. Where could he find such a good thing?
The flamboyant calligraphy appeared on the prepared gift list, making Yi Zhonghai's fifty thousand yuan look particularly eye-catching.

He Yuzhu walked over when he saw everyone was dispersing, wanting to see how much money everyone had given as a gift. When he saw the neatly arranged thousand yuan bills, so densely packed together, He Yuzhu felt like he was going to have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Teacher Yan, this?"

He Yuzhu was laughing like crazy in his heart. He knew that everyone would definitely fight back, but he didn't expect the fightback to be so strong. One thousand yuan per piece, and he didn't know if it was intentional, but the writing was very neat.

"Shh, Silly Zhu, keep your voice down."

Yan Bugui quickly stopped He Yuzhu from shouting, and then pointed in the direction of Jia's house, meaning not to lure Jia Zhang over here. "Then I..."

He Yuzhu's meaning was very simple. Everyone is like this, so I can't be treated specially, right? But he didn't want to say it out loud. It would be even better if Yan Bugui could say it out loud.

"Just follow the crowd, silly boy."

"get it"

He Yuzhu happily took out a thousand yuan and placed it solemnly in front of Yan Bugui.

"Boy, why are you being so sneaky? And why are you laughing so secretly?"

"Uncle Li, haha, wait for me to laugh for a while and take a breath."

When Chef Li asked this, He Yuzhu couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing. It was so funny. After a while, he told the details of what he had seen and heard.

Chef Li was stunned when he heard this. He had prepared many wedding banquets, but this was the first time he heard of such an outrageous thing.

The neighbors all offered one thousand yuan. It turned out that there were many strange things in the world. However, he felt relieved when he thought about Jia Zhang's character. If it were him, he would be reluctant to do it.

Then he looked at He Yuzhui seriously. This son of He Daqing was too extraordinary. His seemingly unintentional action caused such serious sequelae.

Looking at He Yuzhu and then thinking about his own brat, there is no comparison. He has been in this compound for most of the day and has come to understand what kind of people are in this compound.

If Sha Zhu didn't have some tricks up his sleeve, who knows how badly he would have been bullied. Lao He, you are really doing evil.

When He Yuzhu saw Yi Zhonghai coming from the backyard, he gave a wicked laugh and immediately ran towards Yi Zhonghai in panic. It was too late for Chef Li to stop him.

Can you please behave yourself and be honest? You are the one who started all the bad intentions and now you are adding fuel to the fire.

"Uncle Yi, Uncle Yi, something big has happened!"

When Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu's expression and appearance, he felt that something had happened again. He was now afraid of He Yuzhu's appearance. He felt a black screen in front of his eyes. Although he didn't know what big thing had happened, he had a premonition that it was a big deal.

"Tell me slowly, what's the matter?"

He was no longer in the mood to blame Sha Zhu for being unstable. Now he just wanted to know what happened. He went to the backyard to see the old lady's kung fu. What could happen? The yard was calm!

Sha Zhu finally finished speaking in Yi Zhonghai's ear with great fear and trepidation, then looked at Yi Zhonghai innocently, meaning that it was not that I didn't want to add more gifts, but that everyone only had so many, and I, a child alone, couldn't do it.

Yi Zhonghai was too busy to pay attention to him. He quickly ran to Yan Bugui. It was not because there was too little gift, but mainly because if Jia Zhang knew about it, there would definitely be a fuss, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.

Exhausted is the perfect description of his current state. Strange things happened so frequently during the wedding that he is too tired to complain.

"Old Yan, what's going on?"

Before Yan Bugui could say anything, a voice came from outside the door, which sounded like Yan Jiecheng's.

"The bride has arrived, get ready to welcome her!!!"
