Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

After a few days, a great event happened in the courtyard. Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the Yan family, was finally getting married today. The old Yan couple were very happy. After all, after this matter was resolved, a big thing in their hearts was resolved.

Although the two had already obtained a marriage certificate, people of this era were still very conservative. If they had obtained a marriage certificate but did not hold a wedding, it would be like other neighbors not having witnesses. Such a marriage would be considered imperfect by others. Only after the wedding ceremony could it be called a perfect wedding.

They were all neighbors, and since Yan Jiecheng was getting married, He Yuzhu and his wife naturally had to come to help. Qin Huairu helped in the kitchen with a group of young girls and wives, and He Yuzhu had to stay in the cafeteria to wait for orders because the cafeteria had a reception today. Because of this incident, Yan Fugui was also angry with him for several days.

But at least He Yuzhu lent out both bicycles, and Yan Fugui didn't dare to be too extreme about it, so he could only bite the bullet and pretend that it didn't happen. Xu Damao went to pick up the bride with a group of young boys, and Yan Jiecheng was very glorious today.

Yan Fugui put a table in the middle courtyard with a smile on his face and prepared to collect donations. The neighbors in the courtyard naturally had to show their appreciation. Qin Huairu followed suit and prepared to take out a dollar. Jia Zhang, who was standing by, pursed her lips and said, "You have two working parents in your family. You are so stingy. Why are you only giving one dollar?"

Qin Huairu glanced at the old woman. The couple was very disgusted with this old woman. She snorted and said, "Oh, then I wonder how much money Aunt Zhang gave today! How much money Aunt Zhang gave, I, Qin Huairu, will give the same amount, is that okay?"

Everyone looked at Jia Zhang with a smile on their faces. In fact, it was already very good to be able to give a dollar as a gift these days. Their neighbors only gave a few cents. If they gave more, they couldn't afford it. Qin Huairu saw that when she and her husband got married, Yan Fugui's family only gave fifty cents, but a whole family came to eat.

She felt that she was already very good to give 5 cents, not to mention that she gave one dollar. Jia Zhang curled her lips and said, "You rich people are all evil-hearted. Our family is easy. What qualifications do you have to compare with us?"

Qin Huairu knew that Jia Dongxu didn't go to work today, and the four members of the Jia Zhang family had to eat at the table. And there were only him and Yu Shui in their family. Qin Huairu thought about this and felt that he had lost out. But on such a happy day, she didn't want to quarrel with this old man. With a cold snort, she prepared to go to the kitchen to get busy.

Jia Zhang's face couldn't be any darker. She gritted her teeth and said to the neighbors in the courtyard, "Hey, look at this, everyone. This silly Zhuzi's daughter-in-law really doesn't take us elders seriously. What's going on? Do you know? This is a kind of looking down on us elders. Now that the He family is doing better, do they look down on us neighbors?"

Wang Dachui in the yard looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Oh, my aunt. Please calm down. The couple didn't say that. It's not easy for them. Don't bother arguing with Qin Huairu over their mistake."

Aunt Zhou in the same courtyard often received favors from the He family. Her husband died early, leaving only two grandchildren. A few years ago, her son died in an accident, leaving only the old and young in the family. If it weren't for the help from the street office and He Yuzhu's family, their family would have died long ago.

He was very transparent in this courtyard, but if there was anything wrong with other families, he would naturally come to help. Hearing that Jia Zhang dared to scold her benefactor, she said, "I say, Jia family, please be more polite. I think Qin girl is a very good person, and both husband and wife are good people."

Jia Zhang's face couldn't be any darker. He didn't dare to offend Wang Dachui, but he didn't take this widow Zhou seriously at all. With a dark face, he cursed, "Widow Zhou, whose pants were not tied properly and you are exposed? Where the hell are you from? Get out of here."

Widow Zhou felt as if her heart was stabbed by several swords. She really didn't dare to offend Jia Zhang. Everyone in the courtyard knew that he had received favors from the He family. If he didn't say a few words about this matter, people in the courtyard would privately say that he was an ungrateful person. He didn't care what other people said about him, but he would never let his two grandsons have a bad reputation.

The two grandsons of Widow Zhou came over with dark faces. They had been secretly making a lot of money with He Yuzhu during this period. Although it was a bit risky to make money in the pigeon market, it was already very good to be able to make money these days. Besides, He Yuzhu had a way to guide them, so they were very grateful.

Hearing that this old man not only scolded his benefactor but also his grandmother, he clenched his fists and wanted to teach them a lesson. However, he was stopped by Widow Zhou who said, "Today is a good day for your eldest brother of the Yan family, not a time for fighting. You two rascals, go and help."

Gao Dazhu and Gao Erzhu nodded. They had to listen to their grandmother. The people in the courtyard saw this and nodded. They all thought that Widow Zhou was a good person. If they really made a fuss about this matter, the wedding of the eldest brother of the Yan family would be ruined.

Jia Zhang saw this scene and felt very happy. She looked at Widow Zhou with great pride. What's the big deal about having two grandsons? She's still a coward. Jia Zhang was not shy. She took out a dime from her pocket and gave it to Yan Fugui. Yan Fugui's face couldn't be any darker, but he couldn't turn against this old man just for such a thing.

After thinking for a while, he rolled his eyes. He shouted to the people around him, "The Jia family gave a dime as a gift." This sentence made everyone in the yard look over. Jia Zhang blushed for the first time, and then glared at Yan Fugui fiercely. Yan Fugui didn't feel anything at all. In this day and age, there is a saying about giving gifts. The amount of the gift must be announced, but of course you can ask not to say it.
