Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

Yi Zhonghai really had a hard time speaking and explaining, so he could only eat Coptis chinensis and swallow the bitterness in his stomach.

He simply waved his hand and said: "Those who are clean will clean themselves up. I won't tell you anymore."

After all, he turned to leave.

Xu Wood quit and quickly pulled him back, insisting on a good talk.

"Lao Yi, what do you mean by this? What does it mean that the pure will be pure by itself? You are the only one who is pure, while Zhu Zhu and I are both turbid?"

"How can you understand me so well?"

Yi Zhonghai was sweating on his forehead.

"Then how should I understand you?"

Xu Wood said reluctantly: "If you don't explain this to me clearly today, I won't be able to let you go."

"What do you want me to explain?"

Yi Zhonghai was helpless.

"Tell me one thing at a time. First of all, I'm negotiating with Zhuzi here. Why do you have to show up with a million dollars! Did you do it on purpose? You want me to suffer a loss?"

"What good does it do me to make you suffer?"

Yi Zhonghai continued to explain: "I just saw that He Yuzhu played the table well, and I think one million is worth it."

"You said that again."

Xu Wood pointed at Yi Zhonghai, his face turned pale with anger.

"You're trying to sow discord between me and Zhu Zhu again. You think this table is worth a million, but I, Xu Wood, don't have a good eye for it. I think it's worth eighty-eight when it's not worth a hundred? Are you saying that I Do you want to take advantage of the pillars?"

"I do not have it……"

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he wanted to slap himself.

I'm usually pretty talkative, but when I met Xu Wood, I became like a scholar meeting a soldier.

"You still say no?"

Xu Wood pulled He Yuzhu to comment.

"Zhuzi, tell me, does your Uncle Xu always praise you for your table playing skills?"

"Yes."

"Then I mean I don't have those in my pocket. You can give me one as a favor. I'll give it sixty-six."

"Yes."

"Then I agree that you are good at playing the table, and that's why I said you had to spend money to buy it. How come it came to Yi Zhonghai's mouth that I wanted to take advantage of you?"

He Yuzhu glanced at Yi Zhonghai and then persuaded Xu Wood: "Uncle Xu, don't be angry. Uncle Yi is usually like this! Don't argue with him."

"Zhuzi, please tell me clearly, what happened to me?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened.

"You know what's going on with you."

"What kind of person am I? First tell me clearly."

"Do I have to say it so clearly?"

"You really have to make it clear."

"Then I don't want to make it clear. Do you know it yourself?"

"I am not sure."

"I don't care if you know it or not."

The neighbors couldn't hold back their laughter.

There was no one who didn't interrupt to watch the excitement.

"Lao Yi, you'd better leave quickly."

"Fortunately, Zhu Zhu is sensible and didn't sell you one million, otherwise you would have offended Xu Wood to death."

"Why did you say you had nothing to do and stood up to stir up trouble?"

"My Xu family's son takes my sister to and from school every day..."

Xu Wood immediately caught the point of his objection and asked Yi Zhonghai with his neck raised: "That's right, Lao Yi, do you have a son?"

Yi Zhonghai almost vomited blood on the spot.

Talk about your son again!

Doesn't Xu Wood know that he doesn't hit people in the face and scolds them but doesn't expose their shortcomings?

He wanted to refute, but could never find any reason to refute.

There was no choice but to hold back a breath and walk away.

He Yuzhu looked at Yi Zhonghai's defeated back, the corners of his mouth raised.

Xu Wood came over and asked: "Zhuzhu, the [-] tables we just mentioned can be counted, right?"

"Count it!"

He Yuzhu didn't want to beat him.

But look at how wonderful Xu Wood’s fight with Yi Zhonghai was today.

Then consider it a favor.

Moreover, Xu Damao had a hard time helping to pick up and drop off He Yuyu, and there was a whole nice table.

"This kid really keeps his word!"

Xu Wood gave a big thumbs up.

I feel happy in my heart.

Although [-] is a bit expensive, the table is durable.

And from He Yuzhu's attitude just now, he could see clearly that his status in He Yuzhu's heart was much higher than that of Yi Zhonghai in his heart.

Xu Wood has devoted his life to comparing himself with others.

He likes the feeling of winning.

"It doesn't matter if all the neighbors are helping me, and Damao helps me collect and deliver rainwater all day long. This is considered mutual help. And I really don't ask you to be high. I am a good catalpa wood without any impurities. There is really no such thing outside. This price."

"I know that you are the most generous person in our compound."

After Xu Wood and He Yuzhu exchanged business blows.

He saw the neighbors standing and watching the fun.

He hurriedly evacuated and said, "Why are you still standing around someone else's pillar? They are still busy!"

The neighbors looked at the table with pillars and all drooled.

Although their living conditions are average, they also want something to improve their quality of life.

He Yuzhu is willing to help Xu Wood.

Then as a neighbor, can you also help them?

They can't afford a table, but they can buy a small stool, cupboard or something and sell it at a friendly price.

Thinking of this, a bold neighbor took the lead and asked: "Zhuzi, besides being able to knock tables, do you also knock out stools, sideboards, etc.? Can you knock one out for me too? I don't have much money on me, just a stool." Can I give you two?"

"Then what can I do!"

Xu Wood said first: "The pillars are made of good catalpa wood. You can't buy it outside at this price. Are the craftsmanship of the pillars worth two dollars in your hands?"

"Of course it's more than that, but our family's conditions are too expensive to afford..."

The neighbors nodded.

"Zhu's craftsmanship is good, and we want to take advantage of it."

"But you really can't get that much out."

"We want some small things, can we give you a friendly price?"

Xu Wood glanced at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu thought deeply for a while.

They all agreed to Xu Wood, so it wouldn't be a good idea not to fight for others.

But the neighbors really couldn't come up with much money.

I can't just give them a little money.

I feel so embarrassed.

So I thought of a way.

"Let's see, it's definitely not realistic for you to ask five of me to build a stool from materials such as catalpa wood, peach wood, and mahogany. You provide the wood yourself, and I provide the craftsmanship and give you a processing fee. The stool is [-] yuan a piece. Other large items start at [-] yuan." Do you think this is okay?"

The neighbors whispered to each other and discussed.

Although wood is important.

But craftsmanship is also important.

If He Yuzhu paints it well, they can last for several more years with just one more coat of paint.

This deal is still a good deal.

The neighbor who first offered to buy a stool made up his mind and said, "Okay! Give me a stool!"

"Then I want a sideboard!"

"I want a table too!"

"I also want……"

Neighbors are signing up more and more.

He Yuzhu was too busy, so he simply said to Xu Wood: "Uncle Xu, how about you help me write down the needs of the neighbors. I'm really busy right now."

Xu Wood held the power and coughed twice.

"Everyone has lined up and registered with me if they have any needs."
