The Rebirth of Shazhu: Starting from Staying Away from Beasts

"It's true that I raised you. From childhood to adulthood, your brother had no idea there was such a sum of money.

But didn't he raise you without hesitation?

You have to know that when I left Siheyuan, he was just a teenager.

From childhood to adulthood, your clothes, tuition, food, drink, and shelter, which one of them wasn't paid for by your brother?

Yushui, he is just your brother, he has no obligation to do this, you know?"

He Daqing's tone was a little harsh.

He Yushui was left speechless by what He Daqing said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Yes, her silly brother indeed has no such obligation.

She recalled every detail of her childhood and the care and love her brother had given her, and her heart was filled with guilt and self-reproach.

When He Daqing was forced to secretly go to Baocheng, he swept away all the money in the house, leaving nothing behind.

However, Yi Zhonghai went against his conscience and withheld the child support that should have belonged to them.

At that time, Sha Zhu was just an apprentice and had no salary.

Plus, the apprentices had no way of taking back any leftovers.

So, the brother and sister could only wander the streets helplessly, hoping to beg for some food to fill their stomachs.

However, the neighbors in the yard avoided them like the plague.

It made them feel endless indifference and loneliness.

He Yushui looked at He Daqing with her red and swollen eyes, her eyes full of helplessness and confusion.

He Daqing looked at her and felt a deep sense of helplessness in his heart.

When he saw that she was still silent, he couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.

He had no way of knowing.

Has my daughter realized her mistake at this moment, or is she just an ungrateful person by nature?

With a heart full of doubts and helplessness, he turned and left the side room.

He Yushui was left alone, sitting there quietly, silently thinking about his own life path.

……

As night fell, the entire central courtyard was filled with neighbors who came to share dumplings.

On the earthen stove, the first pot of steaming dumplings had already been cooked in the big pot.

Yan Bugui and the third aunt were busy preparing for making and distributing the dumplings.

Everyone present wanted to be the first to get the first portion of dumplings, so the scene became a little chaotic and noisy.

At this time, Jia Zhang was holding a super large bowl in her arms and squeezed through the crowd to the front.

She urged Yan Bugui impatiently: "Yan Bugui, hurry up and share the dumplings!!!

Look, the dumplings are floating up, hurry up and get me a bowl!"

Yan Bugui was a little impatient with her urging, and said with a frown:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, the dumplings are not cooked yet!!! Can't you wait a little longer?"

Jia Zhang didn't care about that and continued to insist:

"No, hurry up, get me a bowl first!"

Yan Bugui was very helpless and thought that Jia Zhang was so annoying.

If I don't meet her demands, I'm afraid she will scold me during the New Year.

So he had to compromise: "These dumplings are not cooked yet.

It won’t taste good if I fish it out for you now. If you get sick from it, I won’t be responsible!"

Jia Zhang didn't care at all and replied in a tough manner:

"Don't worry about that. Just give me our share."

Yan Bugui looked helpless and sighed secretly in his heart.

Based on the number of people, each adult can get about fifteen dumplings, while each child can get eight.

There are fifty-four people in the Jia family, including two adults and three children.

Yan Bugui gets five in one spoonful, and scoops out five at a time.

After counting fifty-four dumplings, we started to make the dumpling soup.

When Jia Zhang saw this, she refused to do it.

"Yan Laokou! Are these dumplings from your family? Can't you give us a few more?"

Yan Bugui was furious when he heard this:

"Ms. Jia Zhang! Stop messing around here, the calculation is based on the number of people!

There were fifteen adults and eight children in the yard.

There are 30 people in your family, two adults, and 24 children in your family, a total of 54 people!"

But Jia Zhang didn't buy his talk and kept nagging him to fill the bowl.

For a while, the two of them were at loggerheads, neither giving in.

The neighbors were very dissatisfied with Jia Zhang's desire to take more and take more, and they all criticized her behavior.

"Jia family, are you still being reasonable?

We all made these dumplings together, why should your family eat more?"

"That's right. Everyone has a share. Why should your family get more?"

"Your family has already taken advantage enough, and you're still not satisfied!"

But Jia Zhang seemed not to have heard it and continued to insist that Yan Bugui give her family a few more dumplings.

At this time Yi Zhonghai came over, and the neighbors all asked Yi Zhonghai to seek justice.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but seeing how difficult Jia Zhang was, he felt a little troubled.

He muttered to himself that this shrew was really going too far.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward, looked at Jia Zhang with a gloomy face, and said:

"Mr. Jia, have you had enough of the trouble? We all made these dumplings together.

"It's good enough for each person. If you take more, others will have less. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Jia Zhang was glared at by Yi Zhonghai, and she felt a little uneasy, but she still said stubbornly:

"There are many people in my family, so what's wrong with eating a few more? It's not like we can't afford it!"

Yi Zhonghai was furious when he heard this. He knew that Jia Zhang was deliberately looking for trouble, so he shouted:

"Jia Zhang, don't go too far! Do you think I don't know what you are planning?

You just want to take advantage! Let me tell you, I have the final say on this matter today.

Just follow the original distribution plan, no one less, no one more!"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's tough attitude, Jia Zhang knew that she would get nothing, so she had to shut up in disappointment.

But she still felt indignant and felt that she had been wronged.

Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the problem had finally been solved.

He secretly swore that he would discipline Jia Zhang properly in the future and not let her continue to act like this.

At the same time, he also realized that there were more and more conflicts in the courtyard.

We must find a way to solve these problems, otherwise there will never be peace in the yard.

"Huai Ru, please control your mother-in-law! How can you make such a scene like this?

There are only so many dumplings. If she asks for more, what will happen to the neighbors behind us?"

Qin Huairu originally just wanted to make Jia Zhang make a fuss, so that maybe she could get a few more.

There are many people in the family and everyone can eat their fill.

Originally, Jia Zhang had stopped making a fuss, but who would have thought that after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, her anger suddenly flared up.

Now she even instigated her daughter-in-law to persuade her, and she was not afraid at all.
