Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

People who are born cold-blooded must be self-centered. For people like Jia Zhang, family affection is worthless in front of his own interests. As for why Jia Zhang was so furious, it was like a powder keg that would explode at the slightest spark. In fact, this was just his self-protection, in order to prevent these people in the courtyard from eating up the whole family.

"Eating up the entire family" can be said to exist in every era, especially in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. When all the male members of the family died, neighbors and some distant relatives would rush in like a swarm of bees to snatch their property. Jia Zhang is now trying to establish his authority. When Old Jia died, he, an orphan and a widow, also established his authority once.

After much difficulty, Jia Dongxu was brought up, and his personality gradually changed. Thinking of enjoying a few years of peace and quiet, he did not expect that his short-lived son would pass away, leaving him, an old lady, to see him off. Now that there are old and young people in the family, he, an old lady, must throw a tantrum and scare the people in the courtyard.

She has lived in this courtyard all her life. She is an old woman. How could she not know what kind of people there are? If she were someone who dared not even say a word when being bullied by others, she would have been eaten by these people in the courtyard without leaving anything behind.

If these people in the courtyard knew about his weak side, I'm afraid his family would be bullied one after another in the future. In fact, there were a few smart people in the courtyard who could guess a little bit, but no matter whether he was really crazy or pretending, these people in the courtyard seemed to be intimidated by Jia Zhang.

A shrewd and unreasonable old lady, no one in the courtyard dared to bully them. But if this old lady had the character of a dough-beater, then don't blame the people in the courtyard for being ruthless. In this day and age, being alive is already good enough. As for those noble qualities of sympathizing with the poor and the weak, they are not applicable at all in this era. "

After the old Jia died, Jia Zhangshi was able to raise Jia Dongxu, and she naturally suffered a lot. Three out of ten of Jia Zhangshi's tyranny today may be pretended, and the remaining seven can be said to be a habit. Some things may come true if you pretend for a long time.

After mediation by Yi Zhonghai and the three managers, the two sides finally reached a settlement. Both sides agreed to bury Jia Dongxu first, and this matter would be discussed after Jia Dongxu was buried. Yi Zhonghai talked so hard that Jia Zhang reluctantly agreed.

In the courtyard, eight relatives of the Jia family were selected to form the Eight Immortals funeral procession. The group carried the coffin and headed for the tomb where Jia Dade was buried. When Jia Dade died, he was not buried in Jiajia Village according to his will. Jia Zhangshi was reluctant to spend the money on the journey, so she found a deserted mountain outside the city and buried him there.

The brothers in Jiajia Village had a lot of quarrels over this matter. After all, Jia Dade had a very good relationship with his brothers. Returning to one's roots is a belief that is ingrained in every Chinese. But Jia Zhang said that he did not agree to it at all. In the end, no one could persuade him, so he buried Jia Dade on the Xiaohuang Mountain outside the city.

Xiaohuangshan is a small dirt mountain, and the altitude of the mountain is naturally not that high. There are not many trees on the mountain, only some lush weeds. Jia Dade's grave stood there alone. The two brothers Jia Dafa bought two bottles of wine and some delicious food, and first paid tribute to their brother, and then the two brothers said some intimate words to Jia Dade's grave.

Looking at the grave next to Jia Dade, the two middle-aged men, who were almost 50 years old, had tears on their faces. Their brother had died long ago, and their short-lived nephew was even worse, having passed away before the age of . For a moment, the Jia Dafa brothers didn't know what to say? Looking at Jia Dade's grave, they silently shed tears.

Over the years, Jia Zhang has never visited her husband's grave. During festivals and New Year's Day, she would ask her son to pay tribute to her husband. Whether she was really afraid of seeing her husband sad, or was just very lazy, I'm afraid even Jia Zhang couldn't tell. In the first few years, she might have been really afraid of seeing her husband's grave and having an emotional breakdown, but later on, she might have really disliked the long journey.

Jia Zhang still felt very sorry for her son. Since her husband died when she was less than 30 years old, she had raised her son with all her might. She never expected that when she was about to enjoy her life, her son would die just like that. Which mother wouldn't feel sorry for him? Jia Zhang felt as if her heart was pierced by thousands of arrows and felt very painful.

She lay on her son's coffin and sobbed softly. Smart people know that if someone cries loudly, he or she may not be that sad, but if someone sobs softly, he or she is probably very sad. The people who came to the funeral also sighed that no matter what, this old woman was very sad and a very miserable old woman.

When she was young, her husband died, and when she was old, her son died. She had experienced all the sorrows of life. She shook her head helplessly. Several aunts came over and persuaded Jia Zhang. A monk was also called in to pray for the dead. Although the emphasis these days is on simple funerals and breaking feudal superstitions, how can this tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years be changed overnight?

This is the blessing from the living to the dead, wishing the dead no longer to suffer so much, wishing the dead to be reborn into a good life in the next life, and no longer to be busy with life.
