" Wife, are you done dressing up? It's time for us to go out," He Yuzhu asked as she appeared at the door.
"They're here." Su Su led He Hua out.
"My wife is still so beautiful. Although she is dressed plainly, her face is still so charming. I like it.”He Yuzhu praised him in her heart.
"Go to hell. You're not serious." Su Su chuckled.
" Who can marry such a beautiful wife?" The two of them teased as if no one was around.
"Someone is coming. Be careful."
He Yuzhu turned around and saw Ma Hua walking over.
" Master, Master's wife," Ma Hua greeted him respectfully.
" My disciple, Ma Hua, is a good person." He Yuzhu introduced him and then said to Ma Hua,""The banquet is about to begin. Go to the door and light the firecrackers.”
" Master, there's something," Ma Hua said softly. Seeing his master's puzzled gaze, he immediately said,""I saw the stick bring the pork knuckle back to his house.”
The smile on He Yuzhu's face disappeared, and his expression darkened.
That disrespectful old thing, this is going to be a demon again. Without thinking, it must be Jia Zhangshi. Why did she have to do this on a big day? What did she want? She had to teach her a lesson today.
Su Su saw that He Yuzhu's expression had changed. She pulled He Yuzhu and shook her head at him.
"You're just too kind. Others are bullying us. Just wait and see. I'll let you see the show today. It's okay if I protect you in the future, but you have to learn how to protect yourself.”
He Yuzhu pulled Ma Hua and whispered to him. Su Su did not hear what the two of them said, so she simply ignored him.
Gongs and drums were being played, and firecrackers were being set off. Third Uncle did a good job. He did not know where he got the gongs and drums from, but in short, it was lively.
When they returned to the central court, as the host, they had to say a few words before the banquet began.
He Yuzhu stood in front with Su Su and He Hua.
"Today is a good day. Thank you, neighbors, for coming to my wedding banquet. This is my daughter-in-law, and this cute girl is my daughter.”
Next, it was time to rope in First Uncle and Third Uncle and isolate Second Uncle. It was time to test his acting skills again.
There are two people to thank for the success of today's banquet. The first one is the First Master. When he heard that I was going to hold a banquet, he immediately donated 100 yuan. The First Master is so generous, so we, He Yuzhu, can't be stingy. We have to make the courtyard lively even if we have to spend all our money."It's just that my wife and child will suffer in the future.”
Although he was muttering to himself a little loudly, everyone else could hear him.
First Uncle was a little confused. Didn't I only support you with 100 yuan if you wanted to set up 10 tables? Why did it become that I'm giving you 100 yuan, and you're only getting 10 tables? However, it was not important. Anyway, it was beneficial to his reputation. He immediately stood up and said,"Zhu Zi, come find me if you have any difficulties in the future.”
Everyone in the courtyard expressed their support, and He Yuzhu also expressed her gratitude.
Although He Yuzhu sounded pitiful, he actually earned a hundred yuan for nothing. He signed in every day and could not finish eating. It was good to use it occasionally to buy people's hearts.
"The second person to thank is Third Master. He has been busy making the banquet very lively. Third Master, you have to eat more. If you can't finish it, take it away.”
Third Uncle quickly stood up and said with a smile,"Of course, of course."
He Yuzhu didn't know if he was talking about how well the wedding banquet was organized and how it should be done, or whether it should be packed. After all, if they couldn't finish it later, someone would definitely pack it up and call him to gain a good impression.
" Let's begin. Everyone, enjoy your meal," He Yuzhu shouted. Everyone immediately started eating.
Second Uncle suddenly felt that the food was not fragrant anymore. He called First Uncle and Third Uncle's names, but not him. There was no comparison, so there was no harm.
He felt that he had become the center of attention. He even felt that someone was pointing at him behind his back. Even the laughter at the neighboring table made him think that the other party was mocking him.
This was a kind of psychological feeling: When you become a laughing stock, you will feel that the whole world is targeting you. Everyone's conversation is mocking you. This is even more serious for narrow-minded people. Obviously, Second Uncle is one of them. If you can't adjust over time, you might have a nervous breakdown.
He Yuzhu handed He Hua to a middle-aged woman and brought Su Su to toast.
Finally, he arrived at Jia Zhangshi's table and said a few words of courtesy. Then, as if he had discovered something, his expression changed drastically.
" Ma Hua, Ma Hua." He Yuzhu's voice was a little loud, attracting everyone's attention.
Ma Hua jogged over and asked,"What's wrong, Master?"”
" How did you serve the dishes? Why is there a pork knuckle missing?" He Yuzhu pointed at the table for him to see.
The stage has already been set up. It's up to you to sing this play well.
Ma Hua looked uneasy and wanted to say something but hesitated.
He Yuzhu secretly gave her a thumbs up.
" The dishes have been served. I saw them being carried home by the stick." When these words were said, the entire courtyard was shocked.
When Jia Zhang-shi heard this, her face was filled with anger. She slapped her chopsticks and shouted,"Nonsense, the stick is not that kind of person.”
Ma Hua, this little fool, was not afraid of Jia Zhangshi. Anyway, he was not from this courtyard.
"Since you didn't steal it, let us search your house." Ma Hua said.”
Jia Zhang-shi was speechless. Did she dare? He didn't dare.
Ma Hua saw that she was scared and said angrily,""You didn't teach him, did you? He's so old, yet he doesn't respect his elders and teaches his children to steal.”
Jia Zhangshi took out her bandit logic and said,""How can it be considered stealing? That bowl belongs to my family, and the pork trotter in the bowl belongs to my family. Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. What's wrong with bringing a bowl?"
"How can that be?"
" It's just that her character is really low. Do you think she was the one who instigated the chicken stealing last time?"
"If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. What good can she teach?”
The people in the courtyard immediately discussed.
An elder wanted to say something but was stopped by an auntie. After all, this was not a proper thing to do.
When Jia Zhang-shi heard that her grandson was involved, she immediately defended him and said,"Shut up, what has it got to do with you guys?"
Ma Hua was the bad guy, so it was time for him to be the good guy.
Alright, Auntie Zhang, calm down. Today is my wedding day, so we should be happy." Then, he turned to Ma Hua and asked,""Do you have any extra pork trotters?”
"No, I haven't."
" Everyone, I'm sorry. I, He Yuzhu, didn't treat you well. I'll go cook some more dishes," He Yuzhu apologized to the people at the table.
At this time, the more benevolent He Yuzhu was, the more hateful Jia Zhang-shi was in the hearts of the people in the courtyard.
Ma Hua couldn't stand it anymore and immediately retorted,""Master, you can't do this. I know you're kind, but if you do this, who would dare to hold a banquet in the courtyard in the future? At the very least, this matter would condone theft, but at the very least, it would ruin the atmosphere of the quad.”
This concerned the reputation of the courtyard. The few elders could not sit still anymore and went forward to persuade him.
"I didn't expect her family to be like this.”
"Crying about being poor every day. Look at that Jia Zhangshi, she's fatter than the two of you. Who knows how many good things she's hiding and eating secretly?”
"Be careful when you help people in the future. Do you think that He Yuzhu will deliberately pick this time to cause trouble because he won't help them anymore?"
Everyone in the courtyard discussed animatedly, criticizing Jia Zhang-shi's faults.
"I might as well just chase him out of the courtyard. There have been two thefts in a few days.”
Jia Zhangshi panicked when she heard that. She didn't know how to do anything, so she could only lie on Qin Huairu's body and suck her blood, chasing her away.
Qin Huairu had hoped that Jia Zhangshi would leave, but the people in the quad were too widespread. The situation had escalated to the point where her family was involved. She was warm-hearted in the courtyard, and her good reputation of filial piety had been ruined by Jia Zhangshi at this moment. She needed to quickly remedy it. Pretending to be pitiful and filial was one way.
"Zhu Zi, I've brought the dishes. I apologize on behalf of my mother-in-law. I'm sorry, she did it for the child. I beg everyone not to chase my mother-in-law away.”
Qin Huairu immediately burst into tears.
Yu Shui, who was close to her, softened her heart and quickly helped her up. In her eyes, the bad one was Jia Zhangshi, but Sister Qin was still very good.
First Uncle was fooled by Qin Huairu's tears again. What a filial wife. Why did she end up with such a mother-in-law?
"Alright, we'll give Jia Zhang-shi another chance to turn over a new leaf. This matter ends here. Let's eat.”
After this incident, the Jia family's reputation was completely ruined in the courtyard. They should be able to live in peace for a while.
