Chapter 28 One cannot only think of oneself.
When the Jia family started making trouble, the residents of the Intermediate People's Court were naturally the first to be affected.
Sha Zhu is truly a tough guy!
Although the food he brought back was already cold, he had no intention of reheating it. Instead, he ate the cold food and drank some wine.
Hearing the commotion at the Jia family's house, Sha Zhu put down his chopsticks and went out into the courtyard.
Not long after Sha Zhu left, Yi Zhonghai also came out.
The two exchanged a glance, listened intently for a moment, and then understood what had happened.
"Pillar!"
Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu and called out.
"Sir, I'm out of ideas!"
The two only heard Jia Zhangshi shouting that her son was unfilial, that her daughter-in-law was unfilial, and that she was calling for Old Jia to come and take her away. They had no idea what the cause of this commotion was.
Therefore, when Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu and spoke, Sha Zhu decisively refused to respond.
He did indeed have feelings for Qin Huairu.
But what man doesn't have thoughts when he sees a beautiful woman?
After all, as our ancestors said, the wild flowers smell sweeter than the garden flowers.
Well, Sha Zhu is still single, and he doesn't know if the girl at home is really that appealing.
"You!"
Yi Zhonghai pointed at Sha Zhu and strode towards the Jia family's residence.
Bang bang bang!
Yi Zhonghai slammed his hand on the Jia family's door and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's going on? It's late at night, you can't make noise!"
"Dongxu, what happened? What did you do again?"
"I have to go to work tomorrow!"
Yi Zhonghai first greeted Jia Zhangshi, then called Jia Dongxu and asked what was going on so late at night.
"Master, it's nothing, it's just that Banggeng is a little naughty!"
"Go back to sleep!"
"I'm really fine!"
Jia Dongxu spoke calmly.
Family scandals should not be aired in public!
Jia Dongxu was too ashamed to say what was going on at tonight's event.
Madam Jia stopped crying and wailing at this moment.
Clearly, she also felt that her family's affairs were not suitable to be spread outside.
Upon hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Sha Zhu rolled his eyes at Yi Zhonghai and turned to go back inside.
Yi Zhonghai didn't go straight home, but followed Sha Zhu into his house.
"The food's all cold, didn't you know to heat it up?"
Yi Zhonghai frowned as he watched Sha Zhu drink wine while eating cold food, and couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.
"Grandpa, it's not the dead of winter!"
"Besides, hot dishes require coal, don't they?"
Sha Zhu glanced at Yi Zhonghai, sat down steadily, and said, "Uncle, would you like a drink with me?"
"The meat dish is cold, but these peanuts are a great accompaniment to drinks!"
Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, sat down opposite Sha Zhu, frowned, and slowly said, "Zhu Zi, tell me, what's going on at your brother Dongxu's house?"
"What else could it be?"
Shazhu curled his lip dismissively, "Isn't it just that the sticks are craving meat?"
"Uncle, if you ask me, this whole thing is Shen Zhishou's fault!"
"If it weren't for the terrible smell coming from their house, Bang Geng, that kid, has always been sensible and clever since he was little!"
Sha Zhu is quite clever right now.
Yi Zhonghai glanced at the meat and vegetables that Sha Zhu had placed on the table, sighed, and said quietly, "Zhu Zi, you know about your brother Dongxu's family situation."
"He has to support that whole family by himself, but he's the only one in the family with a ration of food. Life is just too hard for him!"
"I can help out a little on weekdays, but I only have a fixed monthly ration of meat, so I can't really offer much help!"
"Pillar!"
"You should bring back some leftovers from the cafeteria every now and then, and occasionally give some to Banggeng. The child is growing, he can't go hungry, don't you think?"
Yi Zhonghai's earnest words made Sha Zhu fall into deep thought.
"Zhu Zi, you can't just think of yourself!"
"We all live in the same courtyard, and your brother Dongxu used to treat you very well!"
"You, think about it carefully!"
Yi Zhonghai did not let Sha Zhu make a decision immediately, but instead got up and left at the opportune moment.
Based on his understanding of Sha Zhu, he knew that Sha Zhu would most likely agree to this.
After all, Sha Zhu is still very eager to perform at his age.
After leaving Shazhu's house, Yi Zhonghai glanced at the west wing where the Jia family lived, sighed, shook his head, and walked towards his house in the east wing.
……
The front yard, the Yan family's house.
Yan Bugui's family was also awakened by the Jia family's commotion.
However, Yan Bugui did not get up.
Such incidents are not uncommon in courtyard houses. Usually, the person in charge of the courtyard who is in charge will step in to resolve the issue.
"Honey, tell me, why does this guy surnamed Shen get to eat meat every day?"
"Where did he get so many hostages?"
Yang Ruihua lay down beside Yan Bugui and asked him questions.
Yan Bugui didn't open his eyes, and calmly said, "They work at the grain station!"
"No meat coupons required for the cafeteria food!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Ruihua instantly snapped out of her daze.
Oh right, the meat dishes in the cafeteria don't require meat coupons.
"I wish our Jiecheng could work at the grain depot too!"
Yang Ruihua couldn't help but sigh.
Yan Bugui pretended not to hear this. Working at a grain depot? Is that a place for ordinary people? In his opinion, he was grateful to God that Yan Jiecheng was able to find a formal job.
These days, it's good enough to find a job at all, let alone be picky.
Speaking of which, this Shen Zhishou really does have some tricks up his sleeve.
He came from the countryside to the city and found a job at the grain station. Is this really a skill that a rural person could have?
Yan Bugui, in any case, didn't believe it.
After all, even if you find a job, you'll be allocated housing right away—this kind of preferential treatment is definitely not ordinary.
Although the house was only a rear-facing building, the two rear-facing rooms allocated to Shen Zhishou were quite large.
The rear room of this courtyard house was originally used as a reception room.
The size and depth of the reverse-facing room are much better than those of a typical reverse-facing room.
Otherwise, Yan Bugui wouldn't have used this house as Yan Jiecheng's wedding home.
Who would have thought that just to save a little on rent, a perfectly good daughter-in-law would be lost?
What's worse, the daughter-in-law turned around and married Shen Zhishou, who owned a house. It's a story that's truly heartbreaking.
……
Shen Zhishou and Yu Li naturally heard the commotion caused by the Jia family.
The two looked at each other, both at a loss for words.
"Ignore them, eat our food!"
Shen Zhishou remained calm.
The Jia family is making a fuss, no matter what their reason is. As long as they don't react, let them make a scene.
Yu Li nodded and stopped paying attention to it.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two went to the central courtyard to wash the dishes.
Shen Zhishou also carried a bucket of water home.
At this time, the Jia family also quieted down.
However, when Yu Li finished washing the dishes and went back with Shen Zhishou who was carrying water, the door to the Jia family's house suddenly opened.
A figure walked out of the Jia family's house.
By the moonlight, Shen Zhishou could see that the person who came out was Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu, dressed very conservatively, walked quickly toward the two of them.
"sister in law!"
Yu Li saw Qin Huairu and greeted her softly.
Qin Huairu forced a smile, nodded, and walked away quickly without saying a word.
