Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Xu Damao cursed while holding his stomach. His health was already very poor, and every time he went to the countryside, he indulged himself too much, so his body was already very weak. The last banquet at the Yan family really hurt her badly. Until now, Xu Damao felt that he felt particularly weak every day.

He had already taken out the certificates showing that he had spent some time in the hospital and purchased some nutritional supplements, and said with gritted teeth, "I've been relying on you for these days. My health has never been good, you see. I've spent 10 yuan on nutrition alone for the sake of my health these days. You must compensate me 30 yuan, otherwise I will never forgive you."

The neighbors in the courtyard followed suit, gnashing their teeth as they looked at the Yan family father and son. Yan Fugui and Yan Jiecheng were also very upset. Tonight, the Yan family was destined to bleed heavily. But they still wanted to beg for mercy, at least to let them pay less, right?

Yan Fugui stood up first, then bowed to the neighbors in the yard. His face was full of vicissitudes. He thought for a while and said, "Everyone in the courtyard, you can't just blame us for this. Yes, that's right, I bought the sick pork to save some money, and I will not avoid this matter."

"You also know our family's financial situation. I am an elementary school teacher and I only make 27 yuan a month. If every household really pays according to Xu Damao's suggestion, you will force our entire family to death. We can't afford the compensation. Everyone, please give me, Old Yan, some face and ask for less!"

Yan Fugui did not evade his responsibility, but took it upon himself. This made the neighbors in the courtyard a little embarrassed. After all, they were all neighbors in the same courtyard, and they would see each other every day. If they really pushed Yan Fugui to the edge, it would be really embarrassing.

He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Uncle, you said that the diseased pork was introduced to you by someone else. Then you said that the introducer should also bear part of the responsibility, right?" Yan Fugui's eyes lit up when he heard this. Why didn't he think of this! Jia Dongxu in the crowd was stunned at first, then looked at He Yuzhu with gritted teeth.

He Yuzhu was naturally not afraid of Jia Dongxu's threat, but smiled and looked at him. Jia Zhang gritted her teeth and cursed, "Bullshit, silly Zhu! Today's incident has nothing to do with our Jia family. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will scratch you to death."

He Yuzhu shrugged. He was not afraid of Jia Zhang's threats. Instead, he wanted to take revenge on Jia Zhang for bullying them after He Daqing left. He smiled and said, "I didn't say that it was your Jia Dongxu who provided the sick pork to the third uncle. What do the neighbors think?"

The neighbors nodded blankly. They just wanted the compensation. Since Yan Fugui's family couldn't afford it, then their two families should be able to afford it. Their expenses were naturally not comparable to Xu Damao's. Xu Damao had a higher monthly salary and was willing to spend money on himself.

If they compensated everyone 30 yuan, their family would definitely become rich. The neighbors in the courtyard nodded and said, "Zhuzi is right. The person who provided the sick pork is also wrong. For today's incident, the Jia family and the Yan family will compensate us for our losses together."

This was the common idea of ​​all the neighbors in the courtyard. If the two families compensated together, they would have a higher chance of getting compensation. Blacksmith Sun held his stomach and said, "Anyway, since this matter has come to a head today, you two families must compensate us for our losses. Damn it, I ate your rotten pork and I stayed in bed for three days. I postponed so many jobs and lost so much money."

Xu Damao also gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, you have to compensate us for our losses in the past few days. Just compensate 33 yuan. If you dare not not to pay, don't blame us for being disloyal." Xu Damao was gritting his teeth in hatred. After eating the banquet at Yan Fugui's house, he lay in bed for several days.

She was about to be promoted to a regular employee, but she didn't expect that because of this incident, she took a few days off and lost her chance to be promoted. How could Xu Damao bear this? In addition, she hadn't been able to get enough of the young ladies in the countryside! She hated the Yan family and the Jia family even more.

When Yan Fugui heard what Xu Damao said, he felt that he was about to burst. Yan Fugui thought for a while and said, "It's 33 yuan per person anyway, and our family can't afford it. At worst, we can just go our separate ways and no one will know each other anymore." Yan Fugui also got angry. He was a man who valued money more than anything else. It was already a great honor to ask him to pay compensation. It was simply too much for him to pay so much money alone.

Zhu the butcher gnashed his teeth and said, "Uncle, you have to think it over. If we really start a riot, will you still be able to keep your job at Red Star Primary School? Listen to me, you can still earn money if you lose it, but if you really lose your job, all of you will have to go out and beg for food."

Yang Ruihua said with a sad face, "My fellow neighbors in the courtyard, we have been neighbors for many years. As the old saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Please forgive our Yan family this time. I kowtow to you all."

Yang Ruihua knelt on the ground, holding his daughter in his arms and began to kowtow. The neighbors in the courtyard sighed. They felt a little sympathetic to the Yan family, but they were naturally unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to make money.

Wang Chunhua snorted coldly and said, "Alright, old Yan family. Hurry up and get up. We are in a new society, not the government office of the old society. Kneeling and bowing are not allowed. In my opinion, thirty yuan per person is a bit too much. How about this, return all the betrothal gifts you received, and each family pays 30 yuan as compensation. What do you think?"

"No money, no money has nothing to do with our Jia family, we will not pay compensation." The old pious woman Jia Zhang was naturally unwilling. In her impression, all her family's money was her retirement money. If she wanted to use her family's retirement money to compensate these bastards in the yard, then she didn't even think about it.

He knows exactly what kind of people his son and daughter-in-law are like. In order to have someone to rely on when he is old, he will not put all his eggs in one basket. If he has money for retirement, he will not be worried.

I still remember that a few years ago, my son lost most of the family property because of gambling. Jia Zhang felt that she was very wise to save money for retirement. Now money is his life. If the money is gone, then his life will also be gone, right?
