Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Chapter 998: Face and substance

He Yuzhu's one sentence basically expressed Yi Zhonghai's true thoughts at the moment.

For example, when Yi Zhonghai was in good health before, he dared to get involved in some things.

And now Yi Zhonghai himself knows that he is a useless person.

So he has to give in in many things.

For most of the neighbors in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai now focuses on repairing the problems.

That is to say, he has to be humble and apologize to others with tears and snot, talking about what he did wrong in the past, and whose interests he harmed, and apologize to them sincerely.

But Yi Zhonghai was extremely wary of the Jia family.

How to say this? In Yi Zhonghai's eyes, the Jia family was of no help to him, but rather a lot of trouble.

Therefore, when Yi Zhonghai chooses allies for the future, the Jia family is not an option.

It should be said that this is Yi Zhonghai's rare rationality.

Apart from their troubles, the Jia family really has nothing else to worry about for their neighbors.

Even Chen Wu, who likes to take advantage of the young girls in the front yard, now avoids the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family.

The reputation of the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Nanluoguxiang can be described in one word: hated by everyone.

No one wants to be associated with the Jia family.

Even Qin Huairu's sewing business was considered the worst in the industry because of this reputation.

This thing can't be cleaned up.

How should Qin Huairu wash?

Jia Zhangshi did evil things all her life, but it was not as bad as the reputation ruined by Qin Huairu's marriage to the fat man.

It can be said that Qin Huairu lost all her popularity after getting an IUD and marrying an unmarried fat man.

The only people who can ask Qin Huairu for help in mending their clothes now are those families in the alley who have a bad reputation.

As for Yi Zhonghai, he was also unlucky this time.

But eight out of ten neighbors think that this incident of Yi Zhonghai is not his responsibility.

All I can say is that at a time like this, encountering this kind of thing, it should be Yi Zhonghai who is unlucky.

When gods fight, will mortals be implicated?

Liu Ting knew a little about the He family's past, so she could understand He Yuzhu's excitement.

But the understanding is not too deep.

After all, she only knew He Yuzhu in this life.
She didn't know that He Yuzhu was morally kidnapped by Yi Zhonghai for her entire life in her previous life.

This was He Yuzhu's private matter, so when the couple was together, Liu Ting asked: "Brother Zhuzi, is there such a big hatred between our family and the Yi family?
I saw you were having a very interesting chat with Yu Shui just now."

There is a premise behind Liu Ting's statement, which is that the He family is very good in this life, and her father-in-law is also very good in Hong Kong Island.

Especially the things that the He family experienced some time ago, which showed that He Yuzhu was not without a decisive and ruthless side.

So Liu Ting really didn't understand. If He Yuzhu really hated Yi Zhonghai, he could pinch the other person to death with just two fingers.

If he doesn't hate her that much, then it doesn't seem like that.

Whenever they talked about who had bad luck in the old courtyard, He Yuzhu and his sister would get very excited.

He Yuzhu looked at the roof with a vague look in his eyes. He hugged Liu Ting and really didn't know how to explain.

He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and smiled: "That's just because I'm too lazy to do it, but I definitely hate it.

Seeing his family in trouble, Yu Shui and I were happy.

······
By the way, do you know why my father-in-law doesn't blame me?"

He Yuzhu chatted for a few words and then changed the topic.

In fact, this is the only thing He Yuzhu can talk about with Yu Shui. Have the two of them experienced those things together in their lives?

When talking with other people, He Yuzhu can easily recall things from his previous life.

That made He Yuzhu feel painful.

Liu Ting shook her head, looking confused.

This is also the way for couples to get along. During the time when He Yuzhu was not at home, Liu Ting took care of all the household affairs and interpersonal relationships.

But as soon as He Yuzhu returned home, Liu Ting was unwilling to use her brain.

He Yuzhu hugged his wife and took a deep breath.
Then he chuckled and said, "Because Comrade Lao Mu knows the relationship between me and your two cheap brothers and sisters very well.

They never paid attention to me, nor did they help you.

So it's normal for me not to help them.

Do you think Comrade Lao Mu doesn’t know what my mother told me?
It's hard to be a father-in-law if you are neither deaf nor dumb.

Comrade Lao Mu was indeed in a difficult situation.

On the one hand, his own son and daughter were in trouble, and he hoped that someone could help them.

But on the other hand, he also knew that if he forced me to help, Mom might turn against him for us.

That’s why he was so troubled during this period.”

"Can we help?" Liu Ting asked tentatively.

To be honest, she also wanted her man to be able to support her at her parents' home and save face for her mother.

If He Yuzhu helps the Mu brothers and sisters this time, then her mother will have a firm foothold in the Mu family.

Even if Comrade Mu leaves this world before her mother, the Mu brothers and sisters will have to treat her mother as their own mother in the future.

Even if Old Mu is no longer around in the future, given the He family's style, they will never ignore her mother.

But this kind of thing raises the question of what the purpose of life is.

If people live only for the inner self, that is, just live their own lives well and don't care at all about what others say, then most of the contradictions in the world would not exist.

Most of people’s troubles are caused by face issues.

You want to save face in front of your relatives, you want to save face in front of your friends, and you want to save face in front of both acquaintances and strangers.

That’s why so many ridiculous things happen.

He Yuzhu shook his head. He glanced at Liu Ting, but hugged Liu Ting tighter and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to help, I will make things clear to you today, you can tell mom.

For example, if my brother-in-law and his gang are really being targeted and can no longer stay in the army, we will definitely help them.

But now they just stood aside and no one thought of kicking them out of the team.

To use an analogy, this situation is alchemy.

If they can endure the high temperature and fierce fire, they will be able to move to the next step.

If they voluntarily quit now, that would be the way their lives would be.

How can you let me help you in this situation?

Helping them might actually harm them.

In fact, it’s not that the old man doesn’t understand this, he’s just too concerned.

Now whenever he thought of his son and daughter, his mind became a mess.

I wondered if someone could help them, and I also wondered if they could get through it on their own.

......"

After hearing He Yuzhu's explanation, Liu Ting's frown finally relaxed.

She hesitated and asked, "Can their problems really be solved?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said: "Don't you think about why I arranged for Teacher Xiao Qian to go to provide assistance instead of going directly to work in the commune school?

It's just their problems, they will be resolved one day.

By then, everything will return to normal.

Teacher Xiao Qian and my uncle will all resume their normal work.

Those who are fickle now will be in trouble then.

As for people like them, as long as they can keep their mouths shut and work hard, they will be like real gold that is not afraid of fire. "
