Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Old Lady Long was very angry. She poked the ground with her cane in her right hand. Her face was dark, as if someone owed her hundreds of thousands of dollars. She shouted, "I don't care. You, little girl Zhang, have pissed me off today. I am the ancestor of the Siheyuan. I had already married into our Siheyuan before you, little girl Zhang, came. You must give me an explanation for what happened today, otherwise I will turn your family upside down."

Jia Zhang thought to herself that this old woman was really reckless. After all, she was already in her sixties or seventies and didn't care about her dignity. But if she really pushed this old woman into a corner, Jia Zhang felt that she might be the one who would suffer in the end. After thinking for a while, she said with a dark face, "Well, what do you want to do? Besides, I didn't mean to do it just now! If you want to blame someone, blame Sha Zhuzi. If he had distributed the meat to our family earlier, there wouldn't be all these things that happened later!"

He Yuzhu snorted coldly, feeling depressed. How did this old woman get around to him again? He gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Jia Zhang, why are you so unreasonable? To put it nicely, we are neighbors, and to put it bluntly, we are just familiar strangers."

"Hey, why don't you go to the street and see who is holding a piece of meat. You can just go up and grab it. Didn't you say that your grandson is lacking in nutrition? There are more people holding meat on the street. Why do you want to take mine? If your grandson doesn't have meat to eat, then my dear daughter won't have meat to eat either."

Anger showed on Jia Zhang's old face, and she spat at He Yuzhu and cursed, "Bullshit, how can a money-loser be compared with my grandson. My dear grandson will become a high-ranking official in the future. Now I give you a chance to please my dear grandson. This is my mercy."

He Yuzhu felt that this old man had really eaten shit, and he rolled up his sleeves while cursing with a dark face, "You are a money-loser on the left and a money-loser on the right. My daughter and sister are eating your family's food. I must teach you a lesson today, so that you know what you can and cannot say."

In fact, it is much more effective to beat up such a fierce woman than to reason with her. The law these days is not perfect, and fights between neighbors are common. At most, you can beat up this old woman and pay for her medicine.

Qin Huairu quickly stopped her husband, saying that there was really no need to sacrifice her husband's future for such an old woman. Her husband was the director of the canteen, and if he really said something bullying, it would definitely be affected if it spread to the steel mill.

Grabbing her man, Qin Huairu snorted coldly and said, "Aunt Zhang, please don't be so foul-mouthed. You are also a woman, and it is really disgusting for a woman to scold another woman. There are so many people in our courtyard, have you ever seen a woman scolding the neighbor's child for being a loser?"

Some young girls in the courtyard nodded. In recent years, the main trend is to favor boys over girls. In fact, they are used to it. But what really makes them sad is that women also call them money-losing goods. These three words are simply insulting to them, but they have no choice. What can they do when the general situation is like this?

Liu Haizhong had a big belly, followed by his two sons. He seemed quite imposing. He coughed first, and thought about the situation when the leader spoke before. He pretended to say, "Let me say something about this matter. I think the old lady is the ancestor of our courtyard. The old sister-in-law just said something that made the old lady faint. You must compensate for this matter."

The people in the courtyard thought about it and nodded. Although this old lady Long was not a good person, she was still an elder after all. Age was the hard truth, and you had to respect age. This view was not only applicable to this era, but also to any era.

People were accusing Jia Zhang, and Jia Zhang was a little overwhelmed. In the end, she had no choice but to compromise and nodded indignantly. Xu Erni, who was next to Jia Dongxu, thought about it and felt that she had to make a gesture. Since her mother-in-law and husband were not helpful, she, as a daughter-in-law, could only think of a solution.

Xu Erni said tearfully, "His uncle, and the neighbors in the courtyard. My mother didn't mean it just now. She just said it without thinking. Our family has made the old lady angry. We will not ignore this matter. Let's buy a chicken tomorrow and stew it for the old lady to bring over to apologize to her. What do you think?"

Everyone in the courtyard looked at each other. No matter what the Jia family was like, the daughter-in-law of the Jia family had already made her attitude clear, so there was really no need to be so petty. Old Lady Long actually thought the same way. Although she had just been showing off her power because of her age, if she really insisted on it, wouldn't her reputation be ruined in the future?

Old Lady Long nodded reluctantly. After all, it was not completely without gain. She would be able to eat delicious chicken tomorrow, and she was very happy. Old Lady Long nodded and said, "Well, that's fine. Let's do it. If it weren't for your daughter-in-law, I would never let you, Zhang Xiaohua, off today. Okay, go do what you need to do."

Seeing that the matter was over, the people in the courtyard stopped squatting at the doorstep and went about their business. Old Lady Long glanced at He Yuzhu with a hint of regret in her eyes. She felt that as long as He Yuzhu could provide for her in her old age, he would be able to rest easy for the rest of his life. Especially when the aroma of He Yuzhu's cooking wafted in the air every night, the old lady was ravenous.

But Old Lady Long also knew that there was an irreconcilable conflict between her and He Yuzhu, so she could only sigh helplessly and went home with a cane in a very lonely manner. Yi Zhonghai, who was standing next to her, could also feel the change in Old Lady Long, and felt that he must teach He Yuzhu a lesson. Over the years, he and He had fought several rounds of wits and courage, but Yi Zhonghai still did not get the upper hand. Even so, what could he do? He still had to compete with him properly.
