Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Justice of the Peace is abbreviated as JP.

It is now considered to be the most coveted honorary title by all the upper classes in Hong Kong Island.

Later generations have misunderstood this and always linked it to John Bull's title, but it is not true.

This title is equivalent to the ancient imperial court's commendation for the good deeds of the landlords, issuing a plaque of "Scholarly Family" or "Good Family".

It means almost the same as a country gentleman.

There are two types of this thing. One is the official Justice of the Peace. If you are a senior official in Hong Kong Island, you will usually automatically obtain this kind of title.

The other type is non-official, which is the type most advocated in Hong Kong film and television dramas in later generations.

To put it bluntly, they are some Hong Kong celebrities who are somewhat famous and have a certain influence in Hong Kong society, can maintain social stability and supervise certain policies.

Not an official, but has the power to supervise and make suggestions.

It is now open to the Chinese on Hong Kong Island because of John Bull’s management needs.

There are very few unofficial justices of the peace.

There are even fewer Chinese people, and none of them are women.

Since the news that Lou Xiao'e was going to be awarded this thing spread in Hong Kong society, it can be seen that the Hong Kong government attaches great importance to Lou Xiao'e's social status and influence.

It could also be a bait or a test.

It’s no different from the previous case where someone priced the “Friendship” trademark at 100 million.

It's just flattery!
But for white-collar workers like Teacher Lin, that is a position that is out of their reach.

It is a ceiling of honor that they can never reach in their lifetime, but they hope to reach.

So if a person like this were to turn against her because of a single sentence, even her "God" probably wouldn't be able to save her.

As long as Lou Xiao'e spreads this news to the outside world, the school board will ask her to pack up and leave, regardless of the school's reputation or the considerable annual donations from the upper class.

And no prestigious school would accept her again.

It's just so cruel.

So Teacher Lin came in pride, but left in embarrassment. When she said goodbye, she completely forgot about her so-called etiquette and her waist was bent as if she was having a day off.

I don't know how many words of apology I said.

As soon as Teacher Lin left, Guo Shumiao saw He Yuan laughing secretly.

He was so angry that he grabbed He Yuan's ear and scolded her: "Did you do this on purpose?

Seeing that your grandfather and I are bored, you want to find us something to do, right? "

"Ouch, ouch...Aunt Shumiao, my ear fell off.

Grandpa, grandpa, please come and save me!

Someone wants to murder your lovely granddaughter." He Yuan was not afraid of Guo Shumiao and continued to shout.

Guo Shumiao is quite helpless about this adopted niece who appears to be well-behaved but is actually naughty and mischievous at heart.

It turned out that when she was in the old city, only Liu Ting could control her.

He Yuzhu could only reason with He Yuan and was reluctant to scold or physically punish the little girl.

This also cultivated He Yuan's character of being very discerning and not afraid of anyone.

After Guo Shumiao finished scolding, He Daqing pretended not to see it and walked out with a pot of "braised shark's fin".

He smiled at the two of them and said, “Shumiao, Yuanyuan, stop making trouble and come over to drink soup.

I made this stew especially for my eldest granddaughter. She has been straining her brain due to exams these days, so she needs some refreshment.

Shu Miao, you can also drink more of this soup, it is good for beauty and nourishment. "

He Daqing's words were obviously biased and almost made Guo Shumiao's nose crooked with anger.

Guo Shumiao said coquettishly: "Dad, you don't care about your granddaughter. If she continues to be so willful and is asked to drop out of school, it will be a real disgrace to our He family.

How am I going to explain this to Brother Zhuzi and the others in the future?"

Guo Shumiao has now gotten used to calling He Daqing "Dad" all the time.

He Yuan sat down next to He Daqing in a flattering manner, and when He Daqing put down the soup, she hugged He Daqing's arm.

He also wrinkled his nose provocatively at Guo Shumiao.

He Daqing patted his granddaughter's arm, then picked up the small bowl on the table, and while dividing the soup, he smiled at Guo Shumiao and said, "If she can go, she can go. If she can't, our family doesn't need to force Yuanyuan.

Our Yuanyuan is already outstanding enough.

Now, how many copies of her comic book were sold last month? 50,000.

According to Yuanyuan’s cram school teacher, our Yuanyuan is from Hong Kong Island and is the pioneer of girls’ comics.

Together with the comic book "13 Points" drawn by another female artist named Li, these two comic books will definitely go down in history."

It was difficult for He Daqing, as he knew nothing about these cultural matters.

But because He Yuan was engaged in this industry, He Daqing also had to make up for it with a lot of lessons.

At least I still know Lee Hye-jin's girls' comic "13 o'clock".

If it weren't for He Yuan's "Pig Family", 13: would be the pioneer of girls' comics in Hong Kong.

In fact, there is another female cartoonist above the two, Shangguan Xiaobao. The sales of her cartoon "Bruce Lee" have exceeded 150,000 copies.

But that book is about a woman breaking into the men's channel, so He Yuan doesn't need to compare herself with her.

In terms of sales, He Yuan's family-themed comedy and heartwarming works from a female perspective crushed Shisandian's.

It ranks among the top five single-book sales in Hong Kong Island this year.

For He Daqing, this was even more exciting than when he knew that He Yuzhu was the "junior principal".

What He Daqing is thinking about now is to return to the old city as soon as possible. He has to go to the He family's ancestral tomb and burn some incense.

For the rough and uncouth He Daqing, what He Yuan did was something that brought honor to the family.

He loved his eldest granddaughter so much that how could he bear to scold her?

Furthermore, as He Yuan's guardian, all of He Yuan's income belongs to He Daqing.

Only He Daqing knew that even if his granddaughter dropped out of school now, she could still achieve financial freedom with the nearly 10,000 yuan in royalties every month.

This income is equivalent to twenty times the average salary. If compared with the bottom-level earners in Hong Kong Island who earn 150 or 160 yuan a month, what He Yuan does for one month is what others would have to do for five or six years.

He Daqing also inquired about it, and found that comic works can be used to make a living for a lifetime.
Then why does He Yuan still need to struggle so hard?
So even though He Daqing knew that Guo Shumiao's worries were real, he still didn't take it seriously.

"Aunt, I want to apologize to you." Seeing that Guo Shumiao was still angry, He Yuan knew that she had to give Guo Shumiao an explanation.

Otherwise, the little aunt would not talk to her for several days.

He Yuan stepped forward and bowed, then took the opportunity to hug Guo Shumiao's arm, rubbing her little head against Guo Shumiao's cheek.

Guo Shumiao was very happy, but still asked with a straight face: "What's going on? Why did you deliberately get a zero?"

When He Yuan mentioned this, she replied with an angry look on her face: “That religious teacher has a crooked butt.

When I am in class, I always like to bring in my own ideas.

Saying that the foreigners are noble..."

Before He Yuan finished speaking, Guo Shumiao understood the problem.

If it were her, she might be even more decisive than He Yuan.
