Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

Jia Dongxu felt his face burning, but he couldn't say anything because his mother and wife at home had good intentions.

This can only be blamed on his lack of ability, so he vowed to work hard in the steel mill and strive to get promoted as soon as possible, so that he can earn more and his elderly parents, wife and children at home can live better, instead of being like today, where they embarrass themselves and are embarrassed in public. It is really embarrassing.

However, Jia Zhang's thoughts were completely different from those of her son Jia Dongxu. In her heart, she thought that their Jia family was having a hard time, her daughter-in-law needed additional nutrition, her child wanted to eat meat, and she, an old woman, also wanted to have a taste. What was wrong with that?

The Zhang family has so much meat, what's wrong with lending some to the Jia family?

No, this matter cannot end like this. Since her daughter-in-law cannot borrow it, she has to do it herself.

She didn't believe what the Zhang family said at all, so she just stewed a small bowl of meat. She knew this excuse very well. It was just an excuse to deal with others. It couldn't fool her. She was very familiar with this routine.

She wanted to go there in person. If the Zhang family could lend her meat, that would be fine. Otherwise, she would never let the Zhang family eat meat happily while the Jia family suffered here.

If that's the case, then we have to make a big scene. If we can't eat meat, then we can just let it out. Even if the Zhang family eats meat, they won't be that happy. After she thought it over, she said:

"I don't believe that they only stewed a small amount of meat. These are just excuses. Then I will go out to their house in person to borrow meat and see if they will give me the face.

If you don't give me face, then I won't be polite either. I must make a scene for their family. Our family is so pitiful. Huairu is pregnant and Banggeng is so young. Their family is too stingy. Is it so difficult to lend them a little bit of their huge piece of meat?

Besides, it’s not like I won’t return it, I’m just borrowing it. I can’t swallow this!

Huairu, just follow me and watch from a distance. If things get out of hand, you can come on stage and help to ruin their family's reputation. Don't let them eat this meal of meat happily!"

"Mom, this isn't good. The meat belongs to someone else and it's their freedom to lend it or not. Isn't this a bit too much?

How about this, I'll go borrow some meat coupons tomorrow and we can buy some more meat.

I will practice my locksmith skills and try to upgrade as soon as possible. Then I can earn more and our family can live a better life. We won’t be short of food.”

Jia Dongxu still felt that his mother's behavior was a bit too much. Although her intention was good, it was indeed inappropriate.

He believes that if one wants to live a good life, he must work hard and improve his living conditions with his own hands. That is the right way and he will be upright and decent.

Jia Zhangshi doesn't think so. If she wants to live a good life, she has to rely on herself, but the way to achieve it is not only to work diligently and improve herself, but also to take shortcuts.

She has never worked to earn money in her life, but she still lives a good life, no worse than others.

Besides, this is mainly a matter of face. People fight for a breath of air, just as Buddhas fight for a breath of incense. If you lose your face, how can you survive in the compound?

You have to act stronger so that you won't be bullied by others.

Jia Zhang's way of thinking is indeed different from that of other people, and she is not stupid. On the contrary, she is very smart. Otherwise, she would not have been able to raise Jia Dongxu alone and lead a life no worse than that of other families.

Besides, in this compound, she is not afraid of anyone at all. Even if the matter gets out of hand, she is not afraid. She is not afraid of being embarrassed, nor is she afraid of other people gossiping about her.

The important thing is that there is Yi Zhonghai, the eldest uncle in the courtyard, who will definitely help their family. After all, Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice. Others may not know, but she knows what Yi Zhonghai's real purpose is in taking Dongxu as his apprentice.

So she had nothing to fear. Even if she made a fuss, the result would not be too bad. Instead, she could continue to build up her reputation as the Jia Zhang family, making other people afraid of her. She would not suffer any loss in the future.

"Dongxu, this is not about the meat anymore, it's about face. If they don't give face to our family, then we won't give face to their family either.

If you want to gain a foothold in this courtyard, you must be strong. Good people are often bullied and good horses are often ridden. Being honest and upright will bring you losses.

As long as you don't do anything illegal, you must be upright and ruthless to be able to stand firm!

Let’s go, Huairu.”

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she stood up and walked out the door. Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Dongxu, said nothing, lowered her head, and followed her out with the bowl in her hand.

Qin Huairu was relatively in agreement with her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang's statement. Qin Huairu grew up in the countryside and was used to seeing the struggles between adult women in the countryside.

I know. What my mother-in-law said is right. If a person is honest, he will be bullied.

Strong and ruthless people may not necessarily take advantage of others, but at least they will not suffer losses.

Of course, she also strongly supports Jia Dongxu's idea. She believes that improving her fitter level through her own efforts and improving her family's living conditions is also the right way.

And this is very suitable for Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu is kind, hardworking, positive, tall and handsome, all of which are the qualities that fascinate her.

As a man, as an ambitious person, you really shouldn't get involved in such matters. Such matters should be handled by women.

Her mother-in-law is strong and overbearing. She can save face, is good at throwing tantrums, and is a head-on confrontation type of person.

She is good at pretending to be pitiful, winning everyone's sympathy and striving for the moral high ground, which makes her a very good assistant.

The mother-in-law and she complement each other perfectly, and their fighting power is off the charts.

When she thought about the two of them working together to return with a great victory so that the child and Dongxu could both have a bite of meat, her heart was filled with fighting spirit.

To be honest, she felt that she was very happy to marry and live in the city with Jia Dongxu. Although her mother-in-law was strong and unreasonable, she treated her family very well. Even if she scolded her and taught her a lesson occasionally, it was to show it to outsiders. This helped her establish an image of being filial and obedient, and also helped her mother-in-law establish an image of being strong and domineering.

Dongxu treated her very well and gently, and often cared about her health. Moreover, they already had a smart child, Banggeng'er, and an unborn baby in her belly, which made her even more excited.

So her life in the Jia family is happy, and she is very willing to do things for this happy family.

Jia Zhang walked out of their home with pride and confidence. There was really no one she was afraid of in the courtyard.
