Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

The culture of funerals is extremely ancient and can be traced back to ancient times. Whether neighbors come to pay tribute to you after your death is a reflection of whether you were popular during your lifetime. Jia Dongxu obviously belongs to the latter, which is equivalent to a person who is hated by everyone. Jia Zhang originally wanted to collect some money from her son's funeral to enrich her private money. She originally thought that she could make a fortune today, but it was obviously too much.

First of all, the people in the yard adhered to the principle of "see each other when you are not together" and each household paid a share of fifty cents or one yuan. Except for the neighbors in their own yard, no one from the neighboring yard and Jia Dongxu's co-workers and leaders came.

This made Jia Zhang very angry, and her old face was full of resentment. She shouted at Yi Zhonghai, ignoring the neighbors in the yard, "Yi Zhonghai, didn't you say that you had already informed the workers at Dongxu? Why didn't any of those bastards come? Did you inform them? Are you kidding me?"

Jia Zhang looked at the few people in the courtyard, and she couldn't suppress her anger. Nowadays, Yi Zhonghai's prestige in the courtyard can be said to be quite low. It can't be compared with the original novel. Even some people in the courtyard who don't get along with the Jia family make excuses to go out and hide, and she can't do anything about it. You can't force others to drink water if the cow doesn't want to drink water, right?

Yi Zhonghai's old face was full of bitterness, and Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui next to him almost laughed. The two of them naturally came to help for their own purposes. Liu Haizhong wanted to satisfy his desire to be an official, and Yan Fugui just wanted the five yuan labor fee given by Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, are you done yet? I have already informed the workers in front of Dongxu. If they don't want to come, what can I do?" Jia Zhang's old face was full of anger. She cursed with a dark face, "They don't want to come. Why don't they want to come? We all work in the same factory. These bastards are so fucking heartless."

Bai San, who was watching the fun, pouted. He and Jia Dongxu worked in the same workshop. Jia Dongxu was not popular in the workshop at all. He was lazy and looked down on rural people. He relied on his senior fitter master to bully others.

It would be a miracle if the workers in the workshop could come. If she didn't live in this courtyard, she would not want to attend Jia Dongxu's funeral. If she wasn't afraid of neighbors talking about her being unkind, she might as well work in the factory.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Jia Zhang's voice jumping up and down and cursing again. This time, the target was Jia Dongxu's co-workers and leaders, and she cursed them in all the bad ways. This really pissed off the people in the yard, especially the monks and lamas who were invited to chant sutras, who were also confused.

Yi Zhonghai's face was so dark, and Ma Hua and Liu Lan, who were sent by He Yuzhu to help, were also very surprised. Although they didn't make any money this time, to use He Yuzhu's words, this was a good opportunity to hone their skills.

The two of them took this task very seriously. Liu Lan and Ma Hua knew very well that this was an opportunity given to them by He Yuzhu. If they could make a name for themselves, they would have some experience points when they went out to host banquets on their own.

Liu Lan and Ma Hua became happier the more they thought about it. They ignored the farce in the yard and waited for the food to arrive. Several young men in the yard came over with the food. When Jia Zhang saw the big piece of fat pork, she ran over quickly without any distress.

Seeing Jia Zhang trying to touch the food with her black claws, Liu Lan hurriedly said, "Hey, old lady, what are you doing?" Jia Zhang said directly, "What? Of course, we are going to take back our meat." Ma Hua said speechlessly, "If you take the meat back, what will we use to cook?"

Jia Zhang was about to curse with a gloomy face, but Yi Zhonghai ran over. He smiled awkwardly at first, then said to Jia Zhang with a gloomy face, "Sister-in-law, stop making trouble. This meat is for cooking. If you take it away, what will the chef use to cook?"

Jia Zhang pursed her lips, still with an unyielding look on her face, "What do you want to take? Of course, take the vegetables next to it. Are these meats for you to eat?" These words annoyed the neighbors in the yard. The neighbors looked at Jia Zhang with unfriendly faces and said directly, "Mr. Jia, what do you mean by this? You mean that we, your neighbors, are not qualified to eat your meat!"

Ma Xiaoya pursed her lips and said impatiently, "Do you really think we are short of these little things? If this wasn't a big event for your Jia Dongxu, we wouldn't even want to come for Erni and the child's sake. We don't want to take care of your son's funeral. Is this how you, the Jia family, thank the host family?"

"That's right. The Jia family really shouldn't have done that. Whose funeral is the same as theirs? Fortunately, Jia Dongxu is dead now. If he were still alive, he would have been pissed to death." Another auntie next to her said, "Yes, marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations. Our ancestors were right."

The people in the courtyard were talking to each other, but Jia Zhang was very annoyed. Yi Zhonghai couldn't hold back his face, and snorted coldly, "I say, sister-in-law, have you had enough of this? Dongxu's ghost is still there? Do you really want this child to be restless in the underground?"

Jia Zhang originally wanted to make a scene, thinking that the people in the courtyard were too outrageous, and dared to bully her, an "honest person". But Yi Zhonghai was right, if she continued to make a scene, her son would be unwilling to accept it in his grave. What should she do if her son blamed her?

He could only glare at Liu Lan and Ma Hua indignantly, which made Liu Lan and Ma Hua very angry. Liu Lan gritted her teeth and said to Ma Hua beside her, "This damn old woman, this is the first time I have seen such a person." Ma Hua sighed helplessly. Before coming here, their master also gave them a defensive shot.

She is just an old lady, how can she be unreasonable? I didn't expect this old lady to be so unreasonable, it's simply hateful. But what the master said was right, this is a banquet for the two of them to complete independently, it is a good opportunity for them to exercise, they must complete this cooking task well.

Ma Hua said to Liu Lan, "Okay, the master has already told us two, Sister Lan, this is a good opportunity for us two. It is also a test from the master for the two of us, so let's do our best." Liu Lan nodded and admitted that Ma Hua was right.
