Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Liu Haizhong said dissatisfiedly: "Are you two crazy about money? Thirty cents per household per month, that's ten yuan a month."

"Many people work more than ten hours a day, but at the end of the month, they earn less than 20 yuan. You work at most one hour a day, but you only want to get 10 yuan a month. How can it be so good?"

Yang Ruihua retorted: "But sweeping the compound is hot, dirty and tiring, isn't it?"

Liu Haizhong said coldly: "Nowadays, any job is hot, dirty and tiring, unless you sit in the office every day like Zhuzi, but do you have the ability to do that?"

He Yuzhu made the final decision: "Uncle Liu is right. Two cents per household per month is very reasonable. If no one in the yard is willing to sweep the yard, then I will go outside to find someone. I believe there are many people willing to accept this job."

Yang Ruihua said anxiously: "Uncle, I am willing to accept this job."

Jia Zhang said impatiently, "Master, I am willing too."

Yang Ruihua was furious and said, "Jia Zhang, are you f*cking sick? You want to compete with me for a job as a sweeper."

Jia Zhang retorted: "What do you mean I want to compete with you? It's obviously you, a bitch, who wanted to compete with me. I was the one who saw this job first."

Yi Zhonghai immediately stood up for Jia Zhang and said, "I think this job should be given to Jia Zhang. The Jia family is so pitiful. They are a group of orphans and widows, old and young, and can only rely on Qin Huairu's meager salary to make a living. Now Qin Huairu has been demoted, and the family is in even greater difficulty."

Jia Zhang hurriedly agreed, "Old Yi is right. My family is in such a difficult situation. We have been hungry for nine meals out of three days. It's okay for an old woman like me to starve to death, but my three grandchildren must not starve to death!"

Qin Huairu burst into tears and cried, "I am a widow. Not only do I have to support a mother-in-law, but I also have to raise three children. It's really hard for me."

"It's all my fault that I'm useless and can't even give them a full meal."

In the compound, everyone had seen through the Jia family's character long ago. Their crying and begging for mercy could no longer win anyone's sympathy.

Yang Ruihua sneered, "Yi Zhonghai, you are really blinded by lust! You twist things so easily. No matter how poor the Jia family is, is it poorer than my family?"

"At least Qin Huairu in the Jia family still has a job, but everyone in my family is unemployed. Which family is in a more difficult situation?"

As soon as Yang Ruihua said this, everyone nodded.

"Isn't Yi Zhonghai lying with his eyes open? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Yan family is poorer. Yan Bugui used to have a job to support his family of six, but now he doesn't even have a job, and his source of income has been completely cut off."

"Everyone knows what kind of character Yi Zhonghai is. He is biased towards the Jia family without thinking. I really suspect that he is having an affair with Jia Zhang."

"I also suspect that they are having an affair. In order to help the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai not only went to jail, but also almost lost his job. However, he still helped the Jia family without regrets. If they don't have a special relationship, I would never believe it."

"I not only suspect that Yi Zhonghai is having an affair with Jia Zhang, but I also suspect that he is having an affair with Qin Huairu. Jia Zhang is old, ugly, and smells bad. I don't believe that Yi Zhonghai would pay such a high price for Jia Zhang."

"That makes sense. Jia Zhang is an old, withered tree. How can she be as attractive as the delicate and tender skin of the widow Qin? If I were her, I would choose the widow Qin too."

"Yi Zhonghai is popular with both young and old. He is so lucky that others will envy him!"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Yi Zhonghai's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, and he roared:

"Shut up, everyone. I'm speaking for the Jia family out of public interest. I'm not as dirty as you think."

"Yi Laogou, who the hell are you yelling at? You told me to shut up, so I'm going to shut up? Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Do you think you are still the same boss as before, wanting to ride on our heads and pee and shit?"

"You're still doing this out of public interest. Do you think we're all fools?"

Yan Bugui said with a look of surprise: "Yi Zhonghai, what you said is indeed a bit too much. Everyone knows that my family is in a more difficult situation, but you insist on saying that the Jia family is in a more difficult situation. What on earth are you thinking?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Old Yan, you were a teacher after all. How can you compete with a widow for a sweeping job? Aren't you ashamed?"

Yan Bugui said with a sullen face, "Yi Zhonghai, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean I must compete with the widow for the job of sweeping the floor? Who said this job belongs to Jia Zhang?"

"Old Yan, your family has three adult workers. You can find some work outside to support your family. Why do you have to make things difficult for the Jia family?"

"Yi Zhonghai, it's easy for you to say that. I've been looking for a job for more than a month, and I can't even find a temporary job. My family can hardly make ends meet..."

"Old Yan, stop complaining about being poor. Others may not know you, but how can I not know you? I think your family has more savings than I do, so how can you be so poor that you can't even afford to eat?"

Yan Bugui angrily cursed, "You're talking nonsense. I didn't get any salary for the next one or two months. In addition, I was fined 50 yuan by the police station because of you. During this period, my two sons and I were hospitalized one after another, and we have already spent all our savings."

"So this job of sweeping the compound is decided by my Yan family."

Jia Zhang raised her eyebrows and said with disdain, "If you say you want to settle it, then settle it. Who do you think you are, Yan Bugui?"

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you old hag? Are you looking for a fight?"

"Old dog Yan, if you have the guts, come and fight me. I'll blackmail you to death!"

"shrew!"

"Short-lived ghost!"

He Yuzhu was very happy to see Yan Bugui and Jia Zhang fighting each other, but it was a pity that he didn't have any melon seeds with him, so he couldn't eat them while watching the show.

The deaf old lady touched He Yuzhu's leg with her crutch, and then winked at him, asking him to stop it.

He Yuzhu's eyes paused slightly. He really couldn't let the two of them quarrel any further, otherwise the first meeting of the whole school he was convening might be abandoned halfway.

"Snapped!"

He Yuzhu slammed the table and stood up, saying in a deep voice: "Alright, stop arguing. You two families will clean for a month first, and whoever cleans the cleanest will get the job."

Liu Haizhong asked: "Zhu Zi, how do you judge whether this sweep is good or not?"

He Yuzhu chuckled and said, "The public has sharp eyes. When the time comes, the whole hospital will vote and whoever gets the most votes will get the job."

"Zhu Zi, your idea is good? It's fair, just and open!"

"Uncle, I support you. Your method is really good. Survival of the fittest. Whoever is capable will take over."

"An old man is indeed an old man. His brain works very quickly."

Jia Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "Why should you decide who among us will do this job?"

Xu Damao said disdainfully: "Because we gave you this job and paid for it, who else can decide if not us?"

Jia Zhang was suddenly speechless.
