Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 43: The Grandpa in the Tiankeng
In fact, these were obviously exaggerated words, and the old man regretted it as soon as he said them.

What he never expected was that when faced with his "inappropriate words" which were called slips of the tongue but were actually what he really thought, Jia Dongxu and He Yuzhu, the two young people whom he was most optimistic about and relied on, not only did not stand on his side, but they also corrected his mistakes immediately.

Jia Dongxu is fine, after all, he and the eldest uncle have a teacher-father relationship.

Even if he is dissatisfied, he will definitely not say anything too harsh.

The main point is to be brief and to the point, and it will be over once you mention it.

I won’t really embarrass the old man.

But He Yuzhu, the unruly man, would not tolerate the old man at all.

Especially when he learned that Ximen Lang took good care of his poor sister, and often took the maid to eat with him when he was busy and forgot to save food for her.

He was even more ruthless when speaking, pointing at the old man and starting to curse.

"Isn't that nonsense? When did Brother Lang take anyone from our courtyard out to fight and ruin the atmosphere of our courtyard?"

"Go and ask around and see if everyone volunteered to help. The entire hospital knows this, so how can you lie like that?"

"Uncle, as a human being, we must act according to our conscience! We can't just talk nonsense here without any evidence. This is immoral and even unkind!"

"Hmm? Conscience?"

After thinking about it, it seemed that the uncle's family did not receive much favor from Ximen Lang, He Yuzhu said embarrassedly.

“Hey, I brought myself into this.”

Changing the subject, He Yuzhu continued.

"But the logic is correct! And what about the issue of corrupting the ethos of the Siheyuan? What kind of thing would corrupt the ethos of the Siheyuan?"

"Oh, someone in our courtyard is being bullied outside, can't we lend a hand?"

"What kind of rules are these? If all the rules in our courtyard are really like this, then we might as well not have these rules!"

Should we say that he is worthy of being the gentleman Yi or uncle Yi who is praised by everyone?
He is really patient!

He was clearly so pissed off that He Yuzhu was about to explode, and his expression was in a state of dismay.

But he managed to suppress the urge to angrily scold He Yuzhu, and waited until the aunt intervened.
"Zhu Zi, he's your uncle! It's fine if you mess around with others outside, but why do you mess around with him? Even if he said something wrong, you can't say that to him! Look how angry your uncle is!"

He Yuzhu still has great respect for his aunt who has always taken good care of him and his sister since he can remember.

Even though he was still very reluctant in his heart, he had to give the auntie this face.

"Okay, okay, I was a bit harsh, please don't take it to heart."

But that’s all.

Because He Yuzhu is not the kind of person who can tolerate being bullied.

Just as He Yuzhu felt that he had not said enough, he said another sentence right after he finished speaking.

"But I still have to say that it's immoral and unkind of you to slander someone behind their back like that!"

An old lady was about to scold He Yuzhu.
"Hey kid, I told you to stop talking, why are you still talking?! Are you really going to make your uncle mad, right?!"

He tugged at the corner of the aunt's clothes and stopped her from scolding him.

Following the powerful environment created by the aunt, the uncle suppressed his anger. He forced a normal, signature uncle smile on his sullen face, which seemed to have a certain air of self-sacrifice, and spoke in a carefree manner.

"Well, before, I was the only one criticizing Zhuzi, and now it's finally Zhuzi's turn to criticize me. Yes, Zhuzi is right, I spoke without doing any research. It's my fault, Zhuzi, do you think my attitude is okay?"

"Oh, that's right! There's nothing to be afraid of when there are mistakes. If you correct them, you're still a good comrade."

He avoided the important issues and coaxed the heartless He Yuzhu back into his right mind with just a few words.

It was completely in line with the topic, the old man said.

"But I'm really surprised that our neighbors would actually be so kind-hearted one day. It's really unexpected."

"What the hell is going on? It seems like you really don't know anything. Well, I have to teach you a lesson today!"

Signaling Xiaoyi to listen carefully, the new lecturer He Yuzhu instructed.

"No, do you really think they're kindhearted? Grandma! Every single one of them is eyeing the little money in Brother Lang's pocket! But they're not wrong."

"Just now, I had a big fight with those old women because of Brother Lang. And then, I got Brother Lang's favor. Not only do I not have to pay for the membership fee, I don't even need food coupons. I can just eat as much as I want."

"Look at their pie, and then look at ourselves. Alas, it's true that comparing people will make you die, and comparing goods will make you throw them away!"

Sure enough, the old man who knew He Yuzhu's temper very well was able to draw out some of the jealousy in He Yuzhu's heart with just one sentence.

However, only catching a little is obviously not enough.

If he wanted He Yuzhu to be completely used by him, his dissatisfaction would have to be even stronger.

Following the implicit meaning of He Yuzhu's words, he went from one extreme to another, directly praising Ximen Lang as the most promising young man in the courtyard who was rare in the sky and unparalleled on the earth.

Seeing that He Yuzhu obviously had some ideas about this honor, his expression became more and more unnatural.

The uncle finally revealed his true intentions.

Knowing that He Yuzhu, who had just returned a short time ago, would not be able to accept Ximen Lang's invitation, he still deliberately provoked him with words.

"Hey, Zhuzi. Since this is happening in our courtyard, you have to take it seriously! Catering for a hundred or so people is no small feat! You have to prepare early, otherwise you might end up ruining our reputation!"

He Yuzhu was originally thinking about this matter, so he came over to test the old man's attitude.

After all, my family knows their own affairs.

Although he was once a young apprentice, he has already become a master now.

But because he has not contacted his fellow disciples or his master until now, none of his fellow disciples or his master are willing to stand up and support him, because his inheritance is not obvious and his master's reputation is not well-known.

Until now, he has not been able to make a name for himself and has not received many decent banquets.

Especially after he made some progress in cooking, he felt that he was only one chance away from success!
And the banquet that will be held the day after tomorrow, which has already become famous, is the best opportunity!

So, we have to pay attention to it.

There is absolutely no one who values ​​this banquet more than him!
But because he had no fame, he was afraid that Ximen Lang would look down on him.

So, after waiting at home for a long time in a state of anxiety, and seeing that no one had notified him, he sneaked over to the old man to find out.

Then, he fell into the big pit of the old man.
