Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Xudong, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Xudong, Master understands what you said. Since you came to see Master at this time, it means that you don't regard Master as an outsider. From now on, your Master's wife and I will eat less every month and try to spare 10 kilograms of food for your family. In addition to this, I will give you 10 yuan every month. I believe your family will be able to make a living."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Jia Xudong knelt down in front of Yi Zhonghai excitedly, "Master, you taught me skills, and I haven't repaid your kindness yet. I'm really sorry that you and Master's wife have been wronged because of me. If the 10 kilograms of food means that Master's wife and you need to starve, then I will starve to death rather than take it."

Yi Zhonghai and the aunt were very pleased to see Jia Xudong so sensible. The aunt walked to Jia Xudong and helped him up from the ground. "Xudong, your master and I are old and have small appetites. We can't eat that much. Just take these ten kilograms of food with confidence."

Jia Xudong looked at Yi Zhonghai doubtfully, and asked in an uncertain tone: "Master, is what Master's Wife said true? Master's Wife wouldn't lie to me just to make me feel at ease, right?"

"How could your mistress lie to you? Everything she said was true from the bottom of her heart! Banggeng and Xiaodang are young now, and they need nutrition. They must not go hungry. If they accidentally hurt their bodies due to hunger, it will be difficult for them to grow up in the future." Yi Zhonghai told Jia Xudong earnestly. Then, he turned to look at the aunt next to him and said, "Old woman, go to the kitchen and get Xudong 10 jin and 2 jin of flour. When Xudong returns, he can take it home." Hearing this, the aunt readily agreed and walked towards the kitchen. Not long after, she returned to the main hall with a full bag of food and gently handed it to Jia Xudong.

Jia Xudong looked at the heavy cloth bag in front of him, his heart full of gratitude. He quickly bowed to Yi Zhonghai and Auntie again, expressing his heartfelt gratitude: "Master, Master's Wife, I, Jia Xudong, will never forget your kindness to me, and I will never be able to repay you even if I give you everything I have. When you two are old, I will serve you wholeheartedly to fulfill my filial duty. If you break this oath, let me, Jia Xudong, be struck by lightning and die a bad death!

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai waved his hands and consoled him: "Xudong, stop talking nonsense. Your master's wife and I have watched you grow up since you were a child, and we know your character very well! Well, it's getting late, you should go back early. Rest early, because you have to get up early to go to work tomorrow."

Jia Xudong then picked up the cloth bag filled with food and walked out of Yi Zhonghai's house towards his own home. As soon as Jia Xudong opened the door and entered the house, Jia Zhang couldn't wait to ask: "Xudong, what did your master say?"

Jia Xudong held up the cloth bag in his hand and said with a smile: "My master said that from now on, in addition to supporting our family with 10 catties of flour every month, he will also lend me 10 yuan for our family to buy food."

"See, what I said was right. If our family is in trouble, just go to your master bravely. He will not ignore our family." Jia Zhang said proudly.

"With the help of Master, our life will be better. Xudong, we must be filial to Master and Master's wife in the future." Qin Huairu also said with a relaxed look.

"Of course it is a must. Do I need to be told that?" Jia Xudong said as if it was a matter of course.

The next day, Jia Zhang, who had solved the food crisis, came to the information exchange center of No. 95 Siheyuan with a relaxed look on her face, and chatted with other women in the Siheyuan as usual. One woman suddenly said with emotion: "Oh, it would be great if the boy who sells eggs still delivers eggs to our courtyard! How come he was always fine, but suddenly said he didn't want to sell them anymore?"

Seeing this, the others followed suit, expressing their regret for not being able to buy eggs without tickets. Jia Zhang said mysteriously, "Do you really want to know why they suddenly stopped selling eggs to us?"

Third Aunt Yang Suhua looked at Jia Zhang with suspicion, "Why, do you know the reason?"

After hearing Yang Suhua's disdainful tone, Jia Zhang immediately said, "Don't be unconvinced. I really know why. There was a period of time before when I went out every day! I went to the place where the two young men were selling eggs to wait for them. In the end, I really waited for one of them. I grabbed the young man's hand and asked him why he didn't sell eggs anymore. Guess what the young man said?"

"What did the young man say?"

"That young man said that the government discovered that their village was selling eggs privately. Their village chief was arrested and fed a peanut. One of the two young men was arrested and sent to jail, and this young man escaped by chance." After saying this, Jia Zhang looked at Yang Suhua with a provocative look.

"Ah, they were caught, will we be in trouble?" asked a timid woman with a worried look on her face.

"You can rest assured. The young man who was not arrested said that the young man who went in is a relatively honest person and will not say anything nonsense. If the young man who went in said anything nonsense, we would have been arrested long ago. There would be no chance for us to sit here and chat comfortingly." Jia Zhang said proudly.

Then the women in the courtyard began to praise Jia Zhang, and Jia Zhang enjoyed the flattery with a proud look on her face...
