Chapter 295
Jia Zhangshi's words.
Let the dumpling-making couple Yan Fugui.
Frowned unnaturally.
This breath.
How can they speak with the tone of someone acting as the head of the household?
After thinking about the Jia family's current predicament, I realized what Jia Zhangshi was plotting.
This is preparing to take advantage of the opportunity when An Jiahe doesn't know the Jia family's internal affairs, trying to get as close as possible to the Jia family and An Jiahe, turning An Jiahe into the Jia family's supply blood bag.
Recently.
Jia Zhangshi had specifically sought out Yan Fugui.
Just one matter.
The Jia family can't get by; the plump Jia Zhangshi sees herself growing thin from hunger, and she asks Yan Fugui to open a big courtyard meeting, organizing the neighbors to hold a fundraising and donation event for the Jia family.
Yan Fugui didn't agree; he's not Yi Zhonghai, and he wouldn't deliberately do this despicable thing just to support his old age.
The Jia family has become the richest in the siheyuan.
And still donate money and goods.
Really think the neighbors are all idiots!
Jia family people.
Too self-conceited.
Just like before our eyes.
With the shameless look of having already secured An Jiahe, and with a petty heart measuring a gentleman's belly, worrying that the Yan family would get ahead, they vaguely used words to test and warn the Yan Fugui couple.
"Old Yan, Old Yan's wife, little An just came to our siheyuan; you mustn't tell him those baseless rumors, or else my wife will dislike going to your house for meals."
The meaning between the lines.
An Jiahe is one of the Jia family!
The flies in the toilet, oblivious to life or death, are seeking death.
Jia Zhangshi had specifically sought out Yan Fugui.
A single leaf blocks the view of Mount Tai.
An Jiahe is certainly not a good person.
When Yan Fugui first saw An Jiahe, an idiom that made even him feel chills popped into his mind.
Scholarly scoundrel!
Such a person looks weak and feeble.
Once they start fighting, it's a reckless outcome.
Yan Fugui won't kindly remind Jia Zhangshi.
The relationship between the Jia and Yan families.
Because Yan Jiecheng's marriage to Qin Huairu caused trouble.
It's a bit like a needle tip opposing a wheat awn.
If Jia Zhangshi really uses Qin Huairu to bind An Jiahe, it will inadvertently ruin Yan Jiecheng's plan to disgust Yan Fugui by marrying Qin Huairu.
If it benefits the Yan family, why would Yan Fugui oppose it?
An even more important point.
Yan Fugui, who knows Jia Zhangshi's character well, clearly understands that even if he reminded her that An Jiahe is not a good person, the Jia family's scheming against An Jiahe would be like dealing with a tiger for its skin; Jia Zhangshi would not only not feel grateful to Yan Fugui, but would also think he is competing with the Jia family for An Jiahe's benefits.
A thankless task.
Only a fool would do that.
"Dong Xu's mom, who are you? Everyone in the courtyard knows you; you're practically a great good person in the courtyard..."
The Yan Fugui couple were messing with Jia Zhangshi with words, until Yan Jiecheng said that Xu Daming was waiting for them in the front courtyard; then the couple put down their work, greeted An Jiahe, and walked toward the front courtyard.
Inside the house, there were no longer the irrelevant people in Jia Zhangshi's eyes.
Some words were naturally let go.
"Little An, you've just come to our siheyuan and don't understand it; I see you get along with my wife, feel we are one family, so I tell you these truths; if it were someone else, my wife wouldn't even bother to tell them these things."
Jia Zhangshi stopped her dumpling-making work.
A fake expression of being for An Jiahe's good.
"You also know that sometimes speaking the truth easily offends people; because my wife spoke the truth, the neighbors in the courtyard all kinds of disliked her; you, when doing things or meeting people, you should keep your eyes open, these people in our courtyard are not easy to get along with."
After laying the mat.
Jia Zhangshi began speaking ill of the Yan Fugui couple.
"The couple who just left are the second steward of our siheyuan; the bespectacled one is Yan Fugui, a teacher at Red Star Elementary School; I've told you these things before—he especially likes to scheme, not even sparing his own family; the eldest and second sons have no jobs, do odd jobs on the street, eat and live at home, and Yan Fugui regularly collects rent and meal money from his two children; if they don't pay, he kicks them out—is that what a father should do?"
Jia Zhangshi with petty thoughts.
Just wanted to tarnish Yan Fugui's reputation.
She always felt that the Yan Fugui couple, taking advantage of her absence, told An Jiahe some Jia family matters, such as the old widow making things difficult for the young widow, the young widow mixing with people at the steel plant, etc. —these Jia family scandals.
If An Jiahe knew these things, could he still marry Qin Huairu?
First put a hat on Yan Fugui.
Using this hat to show off one's nobility.
Based on this idea.
Jia Zhangshi spares no effort in talking about all kinds of things regarding Yan Fugui.
If you don't believe me, go ask around and see what the neighbors say about Yan Fugui—his family has one bottle of Erguotou, Yan Fugui drinks two liang every day, a bottle of baijiu lasts one month and still leaves about half a bottle.
An Jiahe thought for a moment.
Isn't this just watering down the wine?
From watering down the wine to mixing wine into water.
«The one called Shazhu in Zhong Yuan, whose formal name is He Yuzhu, Shazhu is his nickname; his current wife, Yan Fugui's son had also taken a liking to her back then, and had Yan Fugui ask someone to propose marriage, but Yan Fugui delayed the match because he was unwilling to spend the matchmaker's fee. After Shazhu married Yu Li, he became the cafeteria head at Yagangchang, and stopped associating with us neighbors; when he sees us, he looks down on us with his chin. »
Even Liu Haizhong and Xu Daming were not spared.
«The commotion from the fight in Hou Yuan just now, you surely heard it—Liu Haizhong, the Head Steward of the Siheyuan, has no fault other than liking to beat his son, beating him every day. Xu Daming, who shows the movies, gets along okay with Shazhu, but he's no good person either; once you move into the Siheyuan, you'd better keep your distance from these people. »
Starting from Yan Fugui in the front yard, he analyzed all the way to Liu Haizhong in the back yard, from octogenarian elders down to infants wailing for food.
All were commented on in detail by Jia Zhangshi.
Of the over one hundred households in the Siheyuan, according to Jia Zhangshi's description, aside from the five members of the Jia Family, everyone else are bad people.
They are either plotting ghosts who scheme against their own family, or cold-blooded ghosts who, with black hearts, watch the neighbors go hungry and refuse to help even when they have food, or else they are ghosts who beat their sons for no reason and lecherous ghosts with pointed mouths and monkey cheeks.
A typical tactic of lifting high and stepping low.
Stepping on the neighbors.
Lifting themselves up.
«Jiahe, I, an old woman, see you as a good child, that's why I'm telling you these truths; aunt, to your face, I guarantee it. »
Strike the snake and follow the pole.
Just a minute ago, she still called herself an old woman.
The relationship with An Jiahe is that of neighbors.
The next second.
Jia Zhangshi changed her self-reference, becoming an elder aunt to An Jiahe, thus elevating their original neighborly relation to a familial one.
The thickness of the skin.
Comparable to the thickness of a toilet wall.
Besides being thick,
and also smelly.
