Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan
Chapter 209: Turbulence in the Central Court
After delivering the wedding candies in the front yard, Zhou Jin led Lou Xiaoe and others to the middle yard.
They still knocked on doors every day and distributed wedding candies to every household.
People who received the wedding candies expressed their sincere gratitude and best wishes to Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e.
As for whether it is sincere or not, it doesn’t matter.
At the same time, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu also stood at their doorstep waiting early.
Ever since they saw Zhou Jin delivering wedding candies in the backyard, they couldn't wait to sit at the door with their two children, waiting for Zhou Jin to come and deliver the wedding candies.
Banggeng couldn't contain his inner joy and kept clamoring for candy, never stopping and even made Xiaodang cry.
If he hadn't been afraid of Jia Dongxu's punishment, he would have rushed straight to Zhou Jin to ask for candy.
In desperation, the Jia family is now penniless and has no assets at all.
Apart from this house and that sewing machine, there was almost nothing in the house.
Once upon a time, thanks to the generous support of Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, plus Jia Dongxu's monthly salary of 18 yuan, life was pretty good.
However, as Yi Zhonghai's house was robbed and he was executed, the Jia family lost its most important financial support.
Fortunately, there were lunch boxes delivered by Sha Zhu every day, which were enough for the Jia family to have one or two good meals every day. In this way, the Jia family of four could barely get by.
But as the old saying goes, "Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly."
A few days later, Sha Zhu was also beaten into the hospital, and this time the injury was much more serious than before. He needed to rest for at least one and a half months before he could go back to work at the steel mill.
The Jia family has been living in hard times for nearly half a month because of this, and they will have to live like this for at least another month.
In addition, because of the incident with Jia Zhang, the Jia family had offended everyone in the courtyard. Now, except for Sha Zhu, no one was willing to help them.
Xiaodang is fine. She is still young. She just drinks breast milk and eats some porridge, so there will be no problem.
But Bang Geng had been spoiled by Jia Zhang a long time ago. Not only had he become a picky eater, he was also adept at stealing, cheating, and acting like a spoiled brat.
Well, Banggeng hasn’t eaten candy for a long time, and there isn’t even any white sugar at home. The children in the yard naturally know what Banggeng is.
Now that Yi Zhonghai is gone and Jia Zhang has been arrested, they are no longer afraid of being punished for making trouble.
Therefore, they often act in groups of several people. If Bang Geng causes trouble for them, he will be severely beaten.
Even if Qin Huairu went to talk with Bang Geng afterwards, she would still be scolded.
Gradually, Banggeng could no longer get delicious food from other children, and Shazhu's house was emptied by him.
In desperation, he could give up and wait for Sha Zhu to recover and make money before going to him to buy him some candy.
That's why the Jia family was so excited when they saw Zhou Jin handing out wedding candies.
Moreover, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu both knew that Zhou Jin's family was rich, so the wedding candies he gave out this time would definitely not be those cheap ones, maybe even White Rabbit milk candies.
In fact, if Zhou Jin said that the Jia family had really become penniless, he would not believe it.
Regardless of whether they really spent all the money left by Jia Zhang, even if it was true, it was their own fault.
What's more, the Jia family has a history of this, so Zhou Jin doesn't quite believe what they say.
Moreover, Zhou Jin has watched the TV series "Love in the Courtyard". Although the TV series starts from 1965, it can be seen from there how shrewd Qin Huairu is.
Yes, Qin Huairu cannot be simply described as smart. Not only can she move around among so many men, but she has never failed. This is already amazing.
The most important thing is that she was able to keep the secret from Sha Zhu. Not only did she collect Sha Zhu's salary on his behalf before they got married, she also only left two dollars for Sha Zhu's living expenses every month. Who among ordinary people can do that?
Even now, Jia Dongxu is not dead yet, and Qin Huairu dare not make any big moves, but she still got a lot of money from Sha Zhu.
Coupled with her own intelligence and the personality she has built over the years, she is always able to feed her family at the lowest cost.
Looking back, when Jia Zhang was still alive, Qin Huairu managed to save a lot of money secretly even though she only had 15 yuan a month for living expenses.
Now that Jia Zhang has been arrested, although Jia Dongxu is nominally the head of the Jia family's finances and the head of the household, Qin Huairu is responsible for daily living expenses and she has the final say on how much to spend.
Therefore, it is now easier for Qin Huairu to save some living expenses from the family living expenses than before.
In the Jia family today, only Jia Dongxu and his two children are truly poor.
But for Qin Huairu, the situation is completely different. She is still a small wealthy woman. According to Zhou Jin's estimation, Qin Huairu should have at least two or three hundred yuan in her hands now.
This is also another important reason why Zhou Jin did not send wedding candy to the Jia family.
Soon, Zhou Jin arrived at a house next door to the Jia family. Lou Xiao'e personally delivered the wedding candy to the other party, and then chatted for a few words, then skipped the Jia family and came to the door of Sha Zhu's house.
At this time, Sha Zhu had already walked outside the door and was waiting. His life was now in crisis. If he hadn't hidden some money, he would probably have to borrow money to get by.
So when he saw Zhou Jin delivering wedding candies door to door, he was also behind the window, quietly observing everything that happened in the yard.
Sha Zhu is a man who would rather suffer than care about his reputation. It is impossible for him to follow Zhou Jin and others like the others, waiting for Zhou Jin to give them wedding candies.
Even though Shazhu wanted to eat something delicious, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.
Moreover, Sha Zhu was particularly confident that since his sister He Yushui had such a good relationship with Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin would have to send him wedding candy for his sister's sake.
It must be said that Sha Zhu's mind was still very clear at this time, so he waited in the house. Only after Zhou Jin came to the middle courtyard did he open the door and stand at the door.
At this moment, Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e avoided the Jia family and brought He Yushui and Zhou Xin to the door of Sha Zhu's house.
When this scene happened, Jia Jia and Sha Zhu were both stunned.
The reason why the Jia family was surprised was that they had been sitting at the doorstep waiting for so long. Zhou Jin gave wedding candies to everyone, even Sha Zhu, but only their family was deliberately bypassed by him. Such behavior seemed to be too much of a disrespect for his own family.
Especially Jia Dongxu, under the brainwashing of Yi Zhonghai and the self-praise of Jia Zhang, he always felt that he was the best among the younger generation in the courtyard.
Now, in front of everyone in the courtyard, Jia Dongxu was actually teased by Zhou Jin. He suddenly felt ashamed, so he was ready to step forward and question Zhou Jin why he did this and why he targeted their Jia family.
However, Qin Huairu knew very well that Jia Dongxu had a bad temper and would not think beforehand when faced with an emergency. She was afraid that Jia Dongxu would not get the wedding candy and would be beaten up by Zhou Jin instead, so Qin Huairu hurriedly stopped the impulsive Jia Dongxu.
At this time, Qin Huairu decided to take action personally. She felt that today was the auspicious day when Zhou Jin brought his new wife back to the courtyard, and he should not make things difficult for a woman like her.
Precisely because she is a woman, communication between her and Lou Xiao'e is more convenient and effective.
Yes, this is Qin Huairu's cleverness. She knows how many conflicts there are between her family and Zhou Jin, and it is too difficult to communicate with Zhou Jin.
But it would be much easier to communicate with Lou Xiao'e. This was Lou Xiao'e's first time in Siheyuan and she certainly didn't know them. Qin Huairu believed in her acting skills and it would be no problem to win over Lou Xiao'e.
At that time, as long as Lou Xiao'e agreed, no matter how unhappy Zhou Jin was, he would not go against Lou Xiao'e in front of so many people.
As for Sha Zhu, he was equally shocked.
But for Sha Zhu, the reason was much simpler, it was because Zhou Jin did not give the wedding candy to the "Sister Qin" in his mind.
Sha Zhu doesn’t care whether Jia Dongxu can get the wedding candy, but his “Sister Qin” must have it.
So, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu came to Zhou Jin almost at the same time, but Qin Huairu's attitude was obviously much better. Unlike Sha Zhu, that idiot, just by looking at his appearance, you could tell that he was here to cause trouble.
