The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

At this moment, the silent deaf old lady said:

“Zhang girl, if you keep making trouble, then no one will care about this matter anymore. There are no relatives of yours in the compound.”

They're all neighbors; they don't care about your house, and they won't say anything even if you call them!

Others said:

"How can you be so shameless? If it weren't for Zhu Zi's kindness, all this money of yours would be worthless!"

"That's right, the total isn't even a million. Let alone a hundred, nobody wants even ten dollars these days!"

"Yes, Zhu Zi is so kind and righteous. That's his own son. Isn't he afraid that he'll come back to find her at night?"

"That's right, if we do that, Brother Jia will die with his eyes wide open in disbelief!"

Everyone was talking about it, and hearing what they were saying, Jia Zhangshi became frightened and dared not speak.

At that moment, he greedily stared at the hundred yuan in He Yuzhu's hand.

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi was silent, He Yuzhu then said:

"Uncle, I'll leave the purchasing to you. Just buy according to these guidelines."

Everyone believes in you! "Damn it!"

Chapter 153: Jia Dongxu's Funeral

Although Yan Bugui is cunning, he is still a decent person and would not do anything to enrich himself.

Liu Haizhong also knew Yan Bugui's character, and said to Yan Bugui:

"Old Yan, we all believe in you. I'll stand up for you if that Jia Zhangshi causes trouble."

A pile of waste paper was exchanged for a pillar for a hundred yuan, and they were still not satisfied. If it weren't for the Dongxu incident...

Even at five yuan, nobody wants it!

Liu Haizhong's words resonated with everyone, and they all echoed his sentiments:

"that is!"

"If it weren't for Zhu Zi coming, there wouldn't even be a mourning hall!"

"That's right, you can't be so heartless!"

……

Jia Zhangshi knew she had angered everyone, but she still felt the pinch; it was a hundred yuan! If it were hers...

I only spent twenty or thirty yuan to prepare this feast. With a hundred yuan, what good food could I possibly eat?

However, Madam Jia knew that if she made a scene again, He Yuzhu would not help her.

Then we'll have to deal with Jia Dongxu's compensation.

So Jia Zhangshi stopped making a fuss, looked at the family affairs and remained silent. Yan Bugui took the money, rode away on his bicycle.

After seeing Yan Bugui leave, He Yuzhu said to Liu Haizhong:

"Second Uncle, I am the junior. I have done everything I could. You are the second uncle of the compound."

"Even the old man isn't involved anymore, so you'll have to take care of the rest!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Liu Haizhong became very excited and began to arrange for people to start making preparations.

They brought out all the tables and chairs from each household, and set up a fire in the small canteen's stove.

Everything was getting started smoothly, and seeing everyone getting things done, He Yuzhu and He Daqing also stepped forward to help.

Soon, Yan Bugui returned with his men, bringing back cabbage, pork, wheat flour, cornmeal, chicken, fish, and other things.

Seeing how much Yan Bugui had bought, Jia Zhangshi was heartbroken; all of this was hers.

Yan Bugui said:

"Zhu Zi, that's about it. It cost about ninety-five yuan, and we have five yuan left!"

There were actually more than five yuan left, but He Yuzhu didn't care. Instead, he said:

"Put the remaining five dollars on the gift list!"

No one had a single bad word to say about He Yuzhu, since all these things were bought with He Yuzhu's money.

Moreover, He Yuzhu didn't record the 100 yuan gift, but only the 5 yuan gift, which was to give others a way out.

Otherwise, since we're all neighbors, if you give a gift of 100, how much will others give?

Moreover, everyone is having a hard time right now.

He Daqing also took out 5 yuan and handed it to Yan Bugui, saying:

"I'll take 5 yuan. Zhu Zi and I are both married, so let's each keep our own share!"

Seeing that He Daqing also gave a gift of five yuan, Liu Haizhong also took out five yuan and handed it to Yan Bugui:

"As the second uncle, I'll also give you five yuan!"

Xu Damao took out two yuan and said:

"Me? Two yuan!"

You know, if it weren't for everyone else contributing, Xu Damao wouldn't have even wanted to give two yuan, and everyone else would have readily paid.

You give one yuan, I give five mao (0.5 yuan), and soon all 20-plus families had finished giving their gifts.

Yan Bugui readily recorded it.

Looking at everyone's gifts, Jia Zhangshi's eyes almost turned red again.

Seeing Jia Zhangshi's appearance, He Yuzhu scolded her:

"Jia Zhangshi, you're still thinking about money? Why don't you change the incense for your son!"

Seeing Qin Huairu standing there in a daze, Jia Zhangshi strode forward and slapped Qin Huairu across the face.

"What are you thinking? The incense is almost gone, don't you know to replace it?"

Qin Huairu still didn't react at all. Everyone pointed and whispered about Jia Zhangshi. Seeing that she had angered everyone, Jia Zhangshi obediently went to work.

As for Jia Dongxu's funeral hall, everyone helped set it up and then no one cared anymore, since he was just a neighbor.

"Just helping out is fine," He Yuzhu said, directing everyone to quickly prepare the feast.

Seeing the prepared feast, He Yuzhu didn't call out to anyone, and everyone took their seats, since He Yuzhu had paid for the feast.

There was chicken, fish, and meat; everyone hadn't eaten so well in a long time. Seeing everyone eating so much, Jia Zhangshi was very unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

Jia Zhangshi, holding onto the stick, sat on the table and began to eat heartily.

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai was at the same table as the old lady and Jia Zhangshi. Yi Zhonghai was so immersed in the grief of Jia Dongxu's sacrifice that he had no appetite. The remaining people looked down on Jia Zhangshi.

However, no matter how much Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng ate, they couldn't eat much more; everyone else ate a lot.

There wasn't much of the food left in the yard.

The people at the other tables began distributing the remaining dishes while everyone was discussing tomorrow's plans.

Then they heard Jia Zhangshi let out a wail:

"Don't touch them, these are all our property!"

Seeing Jia Zhangshi's state, He Yuzhu said helplessly:

"I've done my best in dealing with the Jia family. I can say I've done everything I could. I get angry just looking at Jia Zhangshi."

I won't come over unless there's a specific reason.

We have some things to take care of at home, so we'll be leaving now!

Yan Bugui was also very angry when he saw what Jia Zhangshi had done. Everyone was busy with other things for the sake of the Jia family.

Everyone helped out, and there were only a few leftovers left. You're still complaining here. Yan Bugui doesn't want to care.

But there was no way to deal with it; Yan Bugui was the third uncle, and they couldn't just ignore him.

Liu Haizhong loudly reprimanded:

"Jia Zhangshi, what are you trying to do?"

Jia Zhangshi said loudly:

"This is my family's banquet. Why are you taking food and drinks? Just eat what you need."

"Why are you taking it away? I don't agree! You can't bully an orphan and a widow like me!"

Liu Haizhong shouted loudly:

"How dare you! What are all the people in this courtyard doing all this for? It's all for your Jia family's sake."

Now that everyone's finished their work, you're still fussing over the leftover food? Are you even human?

Jia Zhangshi said confidently:

"Did I ask you for help? You did it voluntarily!"

At this time, Qin Huairu ignored Jia Zhangshi. Because Qin Huairu did not stand up, Jia Zhangshi offended everyone in the courtyard.
