Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Yan Fugui hurriedly stopped these people. If this matter really became a hot topic, their courtyard would really become famous. Yan Fugui glared at Jia Zhang with a bad look on his face, and said to the middle-aged man who led the laborers, "Hey, brothers, no, no, no, how can you not eat? The old sister-in-law is a little unhappy because she lost her son in her old age. Brothers, don't bother with these old women."

Several men nearby also began to persuade them. If this matter really spread, their entire courtyard would not be able to live in the eyes of the neighbors. Everyone in the courtyard looked at Jia Zhang with knife-like eyes, and their faces were very ugly.

Jia Zhang didn't know why she was so angry today, so she could only say a few soft words. She also knew that she had angered everyone just now. If she really didn't keep these people, the life of the orphans and widows in the courtyard would be very difficult in the future.

After a while, Yan Jiecheng, who had gone to Xujia Village and Qinjia Village to invite people, also came in with his people. They were Xu Erni's brothers and a large group of nephews. Seeing this large group of people, the people in the yard were stunned. Could it be that the Jia family had such good relationships? It was really unbelievable.

Jia Zhang's face immediately brightened, and she even smiled. It was really good to have more people, because more people meant that she could collect more money. Xu Damao pulled Yan Jiecheng to their table and asked in a low voice, "Jiecheng, where did you get such a large group of people? Are they all relatives of the Xu family? How come the Jia family is so popular?"

Yan Jiecheng's face was really bitter. He smiled bitterly at Xu Damao's gaze and said, "This, this is indeed the Xu family's mood, but..." Xu Damao was a little anxious and said to the face, "I say, are you dumb? Or stuttering? What are you talking about? What is the situation? Tell us."

Yan Jiecheng shook his head helplessly and said through gritted teeth, "These people, these people raised one dollar and plan to come to Sijiu City to have a good meal as a contribution." These words scared the people in the yard. They just counted and found that there were probably thirty or forty people in this group.

Xu Damao curled his lips and said, "Hey, I think what you said is a little wrong. You came all the way to the city just to have a feast. Is it true or false? I remember that the bus ticket cost 1 cents. Is it worth it?" It would have been better if Yan Jiecheng hadn't heard this. When he heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "We walked from Qinjia Village early in the morning. My legs are still very sore now."

The neighbors in the yard gasped. Xu Damao smiled and said, "No way, your father didn't even leave you money for the bus. He's too stingy." Yan Jiecheng felt that today's incident had little to do with his father. He smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, what do you know? I went to Xujia Village yesterday and told them about it. The eyes of those people in Xujia Village were almost red."

Xu Damao asked in confusion, "Oh, why?" Yan Jiecheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What else could it be? They were so hungry that they couldn't stand it anymore. When they heard that there was a feast in Sijiu City, Xu Erni's brother and younger brother called everyone in the family. They also called several sisters who were married to Qinjia Village. The scene was so grand that it scared me to death."

"Hey, Old Jia and Dongxu, please come up and take a look. This group of people are going to eat our family to pieces. A large group of them came and only contributed one dollar as a share. They really want to eat our family into bankruptcy." The familiar voice of summoning spirits attracted the attention of the people in the yard again.

The two brothers Jia Dafa and Jia Dacai were so upset when they saw this scene. What sin had their brother committed that he was still restless even after his death. Four years ago, their brother's sister had made a scene in Jiajia Village. They didn't expect that now that their nephew was dead, they would make a scene at his funeral. They didn't know what to say.

The people in Xujia Village didn't care at all. The production in their village was very low this year, and every household was hungry. It was not easy to have a good meal in Sijiu City, so they naturally couldn't let it go. Xu Daxiong's face was very ugly, and he knew that the Xu family was wrong in today's incident.

But his son, daughter and wife were already starving. When a person is hungry, his face is the least valuable thing. Xu Daxiong said to Jia Zhang with a fake smile, "Oh, dear old lady, our Xu family's harvest is not very good this year. We are really starving. We are relatives, so let us have a good meal."

The people around Xu Daxiong were so hungry that their eyes were almost green. If they were not afraid of being in the Forty-Nine City, they might have done something out of the ordinary. This kind of look scared the people in the yard. Yi Zhonghai's forehead was sore. It seemed that it was easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away!

Yi Zhonghai pulled Yan Jiecheng over with a dark face and said directly, "Jiecheng, what's going on with you? Where did you get these wolves from? They want to eat everyone in our courtyard. And why didn't you notify us in advance so that we could be prepared! How did life in the countryside become like this? Are these people relatives of Xu Erni? Tell me the truth."
