Chapter 6 Jia Dongxu's Wedding
Chapter 6 Jia Dongxu's Wedding
Of course, this doesn't even include what He Yuzhu himself eats. But even if he only eats a portion, with an annual surplus of 20 million, it's not a problem to exchange it for ten small yellow croakers.
He Yuzhu has recently become the focus of attention in the eyes of everyone in the courtyard.
Xu Damao has been avoiding He Yuzhu lately, after all, he is still a student, while He Yuzhu has already started renovating his house, bought a bicycle and a watch.
At first, people assumed that all of He Yuzhu's money was left by He Daqing, and some were convinced that He Yuzhu, being so wasteful, would never have a good life.
He'll realize how foolish he was once he's spent all the money.
Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady, was just waiting to see He Yuzhu make a fool of himself.
Now the deaf old lady no longer dares to say that He Yuzhu is the most suitable person to take care of her.
Even if He Yuzhu were to swear an oath right now to support them in their old age, they probably wouldn't believe it.
Who would dare let someone who beats an old person and then torments them decades later take care of them in their old age? Of course, it's certain that he'll scheme against Sha Zhu; if he won't take care of the elderly, he can at least be their dog.
Yi Zhonghai focused all his attention on Jia Dongxu, and the promised house couldn't be obtained. He could only compensate the other party with money.
Now that Yi Zhonghai is going to cause trouble for He Yuzhu for no reason, he probably won't get anything but a beating.
To appease Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai took out money to buy Jia Dongxu a sewing machine.
Jia Zhangshi seemed convinced that Yi Zhonghai couldn't live without her son, so she not only forced him to buy a sewing machine, but also made him pay for the wedding banquet.
Jia Dongxu dared not offend Yi Zhonghai so badly. He managed to get 100,000 yuan from Jia Zhangshi after much pleading, and then borrowed another 200,000 yuan from his master, Yi Zhonghai.
Of the 200,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan was for the wedding banquet, and 100,000 yuan was given to Qin Huairu's family as a bride price.
Originally, Jia Zhangshi wanted He Yuzhu to come and help them cook, but Jia Dongxu persuaded her to stop, preventing her from continuing her reckless behavior.
Now that He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai have fallen out, their family will definitely side with Yi Zhonghai.
This also turned He Yuzhu and the Jia family into enemies. Given this relationship, it would be inappropriate to ask He Yuzhu to come and help.
The key issue was that Jia Zhangshi was afraid of being beaten, so she sent Jia Dongxu to find He Yuzhu.
Jia Dongxu didn't want to be beaten either. He was getting married soon, and he couldn't possibly go to his wedding with a slap mark on his face.
Today is Jia Dongxu's wedding day, and He Yuzhu took He Yushui away early in the morning to hide.
Jia Dongxu borrowed a bicycle from Xu Fugui's house in the backyard, and then rode all the way to Qin Family Village.
When Jia Dongxu arrived at Qin Family Village, he saw that Qin Huairu's house was already packed with people.
After a series of complicated procedures, Jia Dongxu was finally able to take his wife home.
On the road, Jia Dongxu rode his bicycle at high speed, while Qin Huairu hugged the man shyly behind him.
His left hand tightly gripped a small cloth bag, inside which was a small packet of chicken blood collected in advance.
Whether we can get through tonight depends on this precious item; it's a treasure she prepared with great care.
Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu laughed and chatted all the way, feeling that he had reached the pinnacle of his life today.
Qin Huairu's father, brother, and relatives were dumbfounded as they stared at the empty road in front of them.
What will happen to the bride's family who accompanied her if the new son-in-law runs away?
"Let's go, I know their house, I'll give you directions."
Qin Huairu's second brother stepped forward and calmed everyone's anger down.
It was nearly noon when Jia Dongxu returned to the courtyard house. After another round of tedious procedures, he finally remembered something.
It was only at this point that everyone realized they hadn't seen the woman's family.
It was Jia Dongxu who took the initiative to stand up and say that he was riding faster and that they were behind him.
Despite their haste, the Qin family arrived at the courtyard house before noon. This was Yi Zhonghai's idea, also intended to win over the residents of the courtyard house and improve his reputation.
Once everyone had arrived, the feast began. This time, the Jia family set up four tables.
One table was specifically for entertaining the Qin family, and the other three tables were for entertaining the residents of the courtyard.
There are 23 households, with one person in each household. Yi Zhonghai and Luo Qiaoyun must be a couple together.
He Yuzhu did not show up, but gave the other party 10,000 yuan as a gift in advance.
Other families in the courtyard gave gifts ranging from one thousand to two thousand or five thousand yuan.
Xu Fugui, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui all gave a gift of 10,000 yuan.
Yi Zhonghai, as the master, gave a gift of 100,000 yuan, while the deaf old lady gave a gift of 50,000 yuan.
He Yuzhu and Yi Zhonghai have a grudge against the deaf old lady, but currently they do not have a major grudge against the Jia family.
Of course, if we put Sha Zhu in that position, then the Jia family and he would be mortal enemies.
The problem is that the incident hasn't happened yet, and He Yuzhu hasn't put future hatred into the present.
Of course, it's impossible for him to become friends with the Jia family. Just being an ordinary neighbor, like the other families in the courtyard, will suffice.
He Yuzhu doesn't judge people with prejudice, nor does he naively believe they are good people.
The house is now fully renovated, and all the furniture has been moved into the new home.
The living room has an eight-immortal table, six chairs, and a small coffee table facing a daybed with several soft cushions, which can be considered a wooden sofa of this era.
The kitchen has an earthen stove, a work surface, and a cabinet, making it comfortable to cook while standing here.
There's a water tank on top of the squat toilet; you can pour in hot and cold water and then stand there to shower.
There is a large sink next to it, with running water, so you can wash your face, clothes, and vegetables.
The second floor is divided into three bedrooms. The master bedroom is about 30 square meters and has a custom-made solid wood bed that is 2.2 meters long and 3 meters wide, enough to last for a hundred years.
A double-door wardrobe, a dressing table, and two chairs.
There are two guest bedrooms, each 15 square meters, with a single bed, a small wardrobe, a dressing table, and a stool.
Less than a year after he transmigrated, He Yuzhu has already made his life so enjoyable.
Today, He Yuzhu owns four houses in Beijing, a car, a watch, and several million yuan in savings.
He Yuzhu is a true golden bachelor, except that he is young; otherwise, matchmakers would have judged him by his age.
Of course, he is not old enough to be considered a crime, but rumors are circulating all over the alley that He Yuzhu beats the elderly and is unfilial to his elders.
Aside from not having an affair with the widow, He Yuzhu still received the same treatment as Sha Zhu.
He Yuzhu knew this was Yi Zhonghai's scheme behind the deaf old lady's actions.
It is estimated that Jia Zhangshi and Luo Qiaoyun were the instigators of spreading rumors.
He Yuzhu spent 100,000 yuan to have them spread the story of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady scheming against their neighbors.
This includes the fact that Luo Qiaoyun is a fake good person, a hen that can't lay eggs, and that Jia Zhangshi is throwing a tantrum and being unreasonable.
Come on, hurt each other!
Yi Zhonghai and his group thought that He Yuzhu would be upset if they damaged his reputation, but He Yuzhu didn't care at all.
Abandon morality and enjoy a life devoid of morality.
Look at how badly that deaf old lady has ruined Xu Damao's reputation since he was a child.
They insist that Xu Damao was a traitor, that he brought the Japanese into the country on the day he was born.
It was this reputation that prevented Xu Damao from getting so many first kills.
It's clear that the more you try to be a good person, the harder your life becomes.
He Yuzhu is from the future and would never sacrifice himself for others.
On the night of Jia Dongxu's wedding, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, Liu Guangtian, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, and several other teenagers from the courtyard ran to the west wing to eavesdrop.
It took Jia Zhangshi several attempts to shoo everyone away before she finally managed to get rid of these boys.
The next morning, He Yuzhu noticed the dark circles under Xu Damao's eyes and guessed that the other man had probably used his penis the night before.
Actually, many of the families with wives in the courtyard were busy last night, except for He Yuzhu's family, who did a good job with soundproofing during their house renovation.
Although some noise did get in, it wasn't as noticeable.
He Yushui is now in the first grade of elementary school. Originally, Yushui was sad for a few days after He Daqing left.
Now that He Yuzhu pampers her every day, she has gradually let go of the pampering. Every morning, He Yuzhu prepares a day's worth of meals for He Yushui.
He Yushui can heat up her food herself when she comes back at noon, and He Yuzhu will bring a lunchbox from Fengzeyuan when he comes back at night.
With He Yuzhu frequently taking out braised meat from his spatial storage, He Yushui has now become a chubby girl.
He Yuzhu instructed the other party not to tell anyone what they ate at home, and He Yushui was also very clever.
Living in a courtyard house, He Yushui had to learn to keep secrets from a young age.
He Yuzhu provided material protection, but he didn't help He Yushui with housework or cooking, which were things she should have learned.
After all, if He Yushui wants to have a good life in her husband's family in the future, she can't be the kind of person who is lazy and good-for-nothing.
"Brother, the sister-in-law the Jia family married today is so beautiful."
"Yes, remember that we also have conflicts with the Jia family. They want to take our house, so we need to be careful with the Jia family as well."
He Yushui covered her mouth in surprise. She knew Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady were not good people. They were the ones who caused her to lose her father, but she never expected that the Jia family was no better.
"Anyway, there aren't many good people in the courtyard. When you come back, just stay home and study, and try not to associate with them."
"Yeah, I'll play with Zhang Panpan and Xu Xiaoling."
The Zhang Panpan that He Yushui mentioned was the daughter of the Zhang family in the back house of the front yard, and she worked at the lumber mill.
Xu Xiaoling is the daughter of Xu Fugui in the backyard. All three children are seven years old and are first-grade classmates.
He Yuzhu had no objection to the two girls; he couldn't let He Yushui be without a friend.
They just need to be careful not to be schemed against by the other party. Zhang Panpan and Xu Xiaoling are actually very envious of He Yushui.
Because He Yushui was the richest of the three, He Yuzhu not only frequently bought her snacks, but also often gave her pocket money.
Sometimes, when He Yuzhu didn't want to cook breakfast, he would give He Yushui several thousand yuan to buy breakfast.
He Yushui didn't spend all the money; she saved the rest.
Recently, He Yuzhu plans to buy a sewing machine in advance so that he won't need to prepare anything for his wedding.
Since everyone knows that his money was left by He Daqing, he took this opportunity to buy a lot of big items all at once.
Qin Huairu had her eye on the main house of He Yuzhu's family ever since she married into the courtyard house. She remembered that when Jia Dongxu came to meet her before, he confidently promised that he would let her live in the main house.
Qin Huairu naturally didn't believe such a good thing could happen, but she didn't refuse. Instead, she praised Jia Dongxu highly, saying he was a truly capable man.
