Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 3: Renting a House (I)

Yi Zhonghai didn't know that He Yuzhu did it on purpose. Once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would definitely take root and sprout. Wouldn't it be fun for him to watch them fight each other?

It is more interesting to let the beasts bite each other. Just wait, Yi Zhonghai, the child support you are greedy for is not enough now. Wait for two years when the amount is larger, and then you will see how your master Zhu will teach you a lesson!
"Well, I believe that a man as kind as Da Ye would not hide anything. I wish Brother Dong Xu to reach the intermediate level in two years in advance!"

He Yuzhu seemed not to notice that Yi Zhonghai's face had turned dark, and he acted foolishly and had no emotional intelligence, which made Yi Zhonghai secretly hate him.

How could he let Jia Dongxu grow up so quickly? Yi Zhonghai, who had a strong desire for control, would never allow Jia Dongxu to get out of his control.

Seeing that Sha Zhu believed him very much, he didn't dare let the silly boy continue talking.

"Shazhu, your brother Dongxu is getting married tomorrow, and I want to discuss two things with you."

Yi Zhonghai quickly changed the subject, but didn't dare let the boy continue talking.

"Uncle, just take care of the small matters!"

He Yuzhu pretended to be generous and said this, implying that you can take care of small matters, but not necessarily big ones.

Of course Yi Zhonghai could hear the hidden meaning, but he didn't care. This silly boy, how could he speak with hidden meanings?
"Okay, it's worth my taking care of you. I came to see you for two things today.

The first thing is: your brother Dongxu is getting married, but the Jia family doesn’t have enough houses and can’t furnish the new house, so he wants to borrow your ear room as the new house;
The second thing: Tomorrow you will be the chef and prepare a wedding banquet. Although you are still an apprentice, I am still going to give you a chance to make a name for yourself. I agree to these two things!"

This old guy Yi Zhonghai looked like he was thinking about him, and He Yuzhu wanted to punch him.

MMP, you bastard, you take it for granted, do you really think I'm a fool?

"Uncle, Brother Dongxu, you guys take a seat first."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he ran out of the house and disappeared.

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu's back in confusion. Why did this silly boy leave the rain water behind?
Did you agree or not?
He Yuzhu understood that they couldn't have a head-on conflict now. He was seventeen years old and Yu Shui was five years old.

It would be disadvantageous for him to have a conflict at this time. Not provoking you does not mean he can do whatever you want.

He Yuzhu went to call Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong. He needed someone to testify and was going to lend the house to the Jia family, but the rules had to be made clear in advance.

Their house is not small, and many people are probably eyeing it, so they can't give Yi Zhonghai a chance to do something.

He is not a fool. He knows the story of Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou by heart. How could he possibly agree to it?

Liu Haizhong is a power-obsessed person and will definitely play a counter-acting role with Yi Zhonghai. Yan Bugui, this old fellow is a fence-sitter. As long as everyone gets involved, he will have a way to make Yi Zhonghai compromise.

"Uncle Liu, you are the most fair person in the entire compound. I have something going on at home and I need you to make the decision for me."

Is Liu Haizhong a bad person? The answer is yes!

But he had a fatal weakness, which was that he wanted to be an official, eager to solve problems for others and gain everyone's support.

Now hearing He Yuzhu say that he was fair, his impatient expression immediately disappeared and he became very excited.

"Silly Zhu, if you have anything to say, just tell me and Uncle Liu will take care of it for you!"

He heard that the Military Control Commission was planning to set up a manager in the courtyard to assist the Commission in preventing sabotage by enemy agents and in publicizing and interpreting policies. He was interested in this and needed everyone's support.

"Uncle Liu has something going on at home. Please be a witness. Uncle Yan has already gone."

He Yuzhu is not as stupid as Shazhu. His sharp tongue is useless except offending people. It is enough for him to be sweet-mouthed and understand things in his heart.

"Okay, let's go!"

Liu Haizhong felt a little dissatisfied when he heard that Yan Bugui had already gone. Wasn’t he the last one to be invited?
"Uncle Yan is a cultured man, and he can be used to draft documents. You are the one who should be in charge, Uncle Liu!"

He noticed the change in Liu Haizhong's expression and felt disdain in his heart. With your little cunning, you still want to be an official? You're dreaming!
Liu Haizhong looked much better, and walked in front with his hands behind his back. He had learned the leadership style quite well, but He Yuzhu always felt that he had failed to learn from the wolf but ended up being a dog.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Yan Bugui cheerfully walking in with paper and pen, he felt something was wrong. Why did he come?

Yan Bugui was not surprised to see Yi Zhonghai sitting down. He was wondering what dish Sha Zhu had agreed to serve. Would it include meat?
Tomorrow Jia Dongxu is getting married and we can have a big meal. The whole family has been planning to skip meals tonight and empty their stomachs with a big meal. Now we have a meal for the day after tomorrow, so we are very happy.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was feeling moody, Liu Haizhong's figure appeared in his sight. He felt that things were out of control because He Yuzhu did not show up.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was getting impatient, He Yuzhu called Xu Fugui over.

Well, the most influential people in the courtyard have arrived, and Jia Dongxu quickly stood up to make room.

Although Jia Dongxu is Ma Baonan, he is still very respectful to the elders in the courtyard and does not look down on them.

"Shazhu, tell me the situation and Uncle Liu will make the decision for you!"

Liu Haizhong spoke first, and He Yuzhu rolled his eyes.

I originally planned to let Yi Zhonghai say it again, but unfortunately Liu Haizhong had already spoken, so my plan failed!
Things will be easier if Yi Zhonghai takes the initiative to speak.

Xu Fugui is not a pushover and will not miss any opportunity to discredit Yi Zhonghai.

Now Xu Fugui and Yan Bugui both looked like they were watching the fun. Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai with an attitude of handling the matter impartially. Yi Zhonghai's face looked unhappy.

He Yuzhu didn't care about all that. Tears came suddenly, leaving Liu Haizhong at a loss. "You've grown up, kid. You didn't cry when you were a child. What's going on now?"
People who don’t know would think that we, the elders, are bullying you!
“My elders, my father ran away, leaving me and Yu Shui to live a hard life, and it seems that we can’t make ends meet.

Now Uncle Yi said he wanted to rent my house as a wedding house for Brother Dongxu, and he also said he would give us 200,000 yuan to help us brother and sister tide over the difficulties.

I am so touched, but I don't know how to repay Uncle Yi's kindness. Now I ask my uncles and aunts to come over and be witnesses so that Uncle Yi's kindness will not be overshadowed.

Uncle Yan, please write a letter so that we can all bear witness. Thank you, Uncle Yi!"

He Yuzhu bowed solemnly after he finished speaking. Yi Zhonghai was stunned. I said it was a loan, it was a loan, how come it only cost 200,000 yuan to rent it?

Yi Zhonghai even doubted himself and turned to look at Jia Dongxu, as if to confirm whether he was the one who said it.

Sha Zhu's honest personality has long been deeply rooted in the compound, otherwise how did Sha Zhu get his nickname?

If Xu Damao heard others say that Sha Zhu was an honest man, he would probably spit in his face.

Still an honest man? He claims to be invincible in intelligence, but every time he fights with Sha Zhu, he always suffers and never wins. Is he an honest man?

Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai blankly. He was not sure whether Yi Zhonghai said it or not.

"That's great, Zhuzi. I'll write it right away. The three of us will sign as witnesses. Lao Yi is such a good man! Is there a deadline for this?"

Yan Bugui didn't care who was telling the truth and who was lying, he just got the advantage.

As for Sha Zhu cheating him? He never thought about it.

Sha Zhu would not and dare not lie to him. His sister He Yushui doesn’t want to go to school?
"Seven days, Uncle Yan agreed to seven days, and Uncle Yi was looking for an excuse to help me. I knew there were still many good people in the world."

He Yuzhu opened his mouth immediately, blocking Yi Zhonghai who was about to speak. Moral blackmail? He can do it too.

As a salesperson in his previous life, he was good at facial expression management, acting, and playing the victim.

Fight with me? Are you worthy enough, Yi Zhonghai?
