A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 14 Jia and Zhang clan go to war

Jia Dongxu's funeral was very lively, and even the leaders of the factory came to the funeral to express their condolences.

Because it was a production accident, in order to appease Jia's family, the factory not only paid the highest level of pension of 271.6 yuan, but also paid a funeral subsidy of 74 yuan. Finally, it promised that Jia Dongxu's job could wait for three months after Qin Huairu's delivery. to take over.

And before taking over the job, he can receive half of Jia Dongxu's second-level salary of 19.3 as a monthly subsidy.

Originally, this job was taken over by Jia Zhang. The factory also considered her age and proposed that she be transferred to the cleaning department.

After subsequent discussions between Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang, for the sake of food rations for the children, Qin Huairu was chosen to take over the job. The uncle even took her to the factory leaders and asked for a postponement of the reporting time. This statement is three months postpartum.

Although the reporting time was postponed, there was no progress in changing job types, but Qin Huairu didn't care. After all, the salary of a fitter was higher than that of a cleaning lady.

This funeral really cost a lot of money. Not to mention one person from each of the more than 20 households in the courtyard, Jia Zhang also invited nearly NO.30 people from her family who had not been in contact with each other for several years in Jiajia Village. Last I heard The leaders of the factory were coming, and they doubled the quality of the original dishes.

Some of the dishes were something that even Jia Dongxu had never eaten when he was alive. Li Xiang only found it ironic.

After the first seven days, everyone saw Jia Dongxu off for the last time.

He Yuzhu and Li Xiang fell behind the crowd. He counted the cost on his fingers and told Li Xiang that the banquet was made by He Yuzhu, and no one knew how much it cost better than him.

"I don't know what Aunt Jia was thinking. There were originally about 60 people, and there were six tables. Each table had six dishes, two meat and four vegetables. The three yuan per table guaranteed that everyone would eat and drink well. She I have to ask the leaders to attend, but the food is not of high quality, so we just added 6 yuan. Look, how could the leaders stay for dinner?"

When he said this, he poked Li Xiang with his arm and asked him in a gossipy tone: "Hey, didn't you see that the third uncle calculated the accounts in the gift book to her and looked crazy at that time? It was really a case of catching and biting whomever, even the third uncle who helped her settle accounts was not spared."

"What did Aunt Jia do to the third uncle?"

Li Xiang really didn't know about this. In the past few days, he had been running between school and home. Then another headache happened at the school, which gave him a big headache, so he didn't have the energy to pay too much attention to what was going on in the hospital. Condition.

"Hey, I don't even know what to say. I haven't seen Aunt Jia so unreasonable before."

Li Xiang looked at him speechlessly, thinking that you should stop talking so as not to put on such an embarrassing look.

Seeing that Li Xiang didn't take the bait, He Yuzhu stopped pretending and couldn't wait to share what happened that day with him.

. . . . . .

Mrs. Jia Zhang stared at the gift book in her hand suspiciously, looking in disbelief.

"Third uncle, I'm afraid you may have miscalculated. Why is the gift only 32 yuan? My family's meal costs more than that."

"Sister-in-law Jia, you calculated correctly, that's the number."

The third uncle is very confident in his ability to calculate accounts, and there is absolutely no such thing as a miscalculation.

He took back the gift book he had just given to Jia Zhang, opened it, pointed at the amount of money and names on it, and read them to her one by one.The first few leaders had no problem getting to the second uncle. Each of the three leaders paid five yuan, the first uncle paid two yuan, and the second uncle paid one yuan. This is already 18.

But when it was the third uncle's turn, things changed drastically. Starting from him, most of the money he wrote was only [-] cents or [-] cents. Many people from the Jia family's rural family even paid only a few cents.

With such a random calculation, so many people together collected a total of 14 yuan, which together with the five people in front was 32 yuan.

"You, Yan Laoxi, are worthy of being the third uncle. You have the nerve to bring your whole family over to eat and drink for just a dime. Do you still want to be embarrassed?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang is very angry now. She organized her son's funeral in a grand manner, hoping to show her face to the family and take the opportunity to repair the friendship that was broken in the past three years. After all, her grandson is still young and she has no supporter at home. , two widows and a few children are easily bullied. If anything happens in the future, the family will have to help.

She didn't expect to make money from this, but when she saw that most people in her family were only willing to pay a few cents, it made her very angry. In her opinion, money and friendship are linked. I'll treat you to a good meal. It's delicious. Is this how you repay me?

But now that none of my family members are here, she is full of evil and angry at Yan Bugui, who only has a [-]-cent salary.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what are you talking about? I'm not the one raising the family. Did we agree in advance that I will keep the accounts for you for free, and my family member will also come to help with the dishes? She won't even serve. Just give her something to eat after you're done."

"Bah, she was just eating. Don't think I don't know what you two are planning. All the ingredients were taken away by your family, and there is nothing left. Your Yan family is really a bed. Two kinds of people can't sleep in this house, and all the dregs in the joints of your bones will be calculated by you. Hey~ I said your family would have to lick it twice if a dung truck passed by the door."

"you you you......"

Yan Bu was so noble that he was trembling all over. He pointed at Mrs. Jia Zhang and was speechless for a long time, almost fainting.

Everyone in the compound knows that the Yan family is very scheming. Although the family often picks up some things to take away, they are just a green onion, a few vegetable leaves and the like. Although they sometimes annoy the family, they just want to spend time with their family. It’s not easy. The family of six lives on Yanbu’s expensive wages. At most, they can only murmur a few words in their hearts and smile on their faces.

No one has peeled off the Yan family's face and thrown it to the ground like Jia Zhang did today.

"Sister-in-law Jia, just stop saying a few words. I know you feel uncomfortable because of Dongxu's matter, but you can't use your words to poke others."

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai hurried out to clean up the mess.

His words gave Jia Zhang a reason to go crazy. She just lost her son, so you should stop arguing with her.

The eldest mother also jumped out to help smooth things over: "That's right, Sister-in-law Jia, it's too late today. Go get some rest. We won't bother you here. If there's anything else, we can discuss it tomorrow."

According to Jia Zhang's temperament, even if the first uncle and his wife come forward to ease the situation, she will not let it go. The matter will not be over until the evil anger is finally vented.

But just as she was about to retort, her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu stepped on her foot under the table.

Qin Huairu stroked her belly and shook her head slightly, then frowned and said:

"Mom, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'll just stay here today."
