A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 414 is chilling
C Laojiu’s statement did not only arise in the 1960s and 1970s.

The earliest statement can even date back to the Yuan Dynasty.

This starts with the social hierarchy of the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty was a highly hierarchical society. From the beginning to the end, the Yuan Dynasty government divided people into different levels according to their social status.

As the name suggests, Lao Jiu is the ninth class person.

Zhao Yi wrote in "Yi Yu Cong Kao": "The Yuan system has one official, two officials, three monks, four Taoists, five doctors, six workers, seven craftsmen, eight prostitutes, nine Confucians, and ten beggars."

In his "Dieshan Collection", Xie Fangde ranked it as follows: "In the Great Yuan Dynasty, there are ten levels of people, one official, two officials...eight prostitutes, nine Confucian scholars, and ten beggars; between prostitutes and beggars The superior is today’s Confucianism.

In other words, the status of scholars at that time was below prostitutes and above beggars.

In the Hum period, although the rankings were not as divided as in the Yuan Dynasty.

But it happens to be based on the location of Z and the wealth of N. . . . . . Arranged in order, it happens to be the ninth and last one.

I got a job based on this before, and now I am being blamed for this issue.

It refers directly to the third uncle’s own experience when he was studying. He was born in a private school and studied the teachings of Confucius and Mencius.

While feeding, I talked to my eldest son and daughter-in-law about things in the courtyard.

The phrase "Feng Shui takes turns" corresponds to the situation of the third uncle at this time.

When talking about the current situation of the third uncle, there is a hint of heaviness in his tone.

Mother Li held her grandson in her arms and carefully fed him chicken soup.

At this time, in order to express contempt for this group, the word "Laojiu" alone is not enough to summarize, and the word "stinky" has to be added in front.

Not to mention colleagues, the current neighbors in the courtyard don't dare to say anything.

Now he is following this example, and naturally he has added a bad record to his problem.

The eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Yan family also kept a low profile in the steel rolling mill because of their status.

This shows how serious things have become.

If the third uncle suffers more, they will suffer less.

Not only this, the dead Taoist friend is not dead but the poor Taoist has also been verified by the third uncle.

From the beginning of shouting about injustice, to the current silence.

At the beginning of 74, something like this happened again.

The third uncle used to be popular because of his status, but now he suffers a lot because of his status.

No matter how good the relationship is with colleagues, if someone comes out to share more firepower at this time, the rest of the people can only breathe a sigh of relief.

For Li Xiang, it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

Even Yu Haitang and Xu Damao, who are biological sisters and brother-in-law, met each other on the road recently, but they only regarded each other as nothing.

"I really can't watch it. It's getting more and more outrageous every day. If I don't go, I have to send someone to my house to invite me. Everyone can't say anything while watching."

"How many children of the Yan family are standing there without moving, just watching?" Li Xiang raised his head from the soup bowl and asked.

"How dare you move? You are huddled there, trembling like quails." Mother Li shook her head and replied. "This biological child doesn't stand up to fight for his father, and he still expects his neighbors. Whenever his children start, others will use the children as an excuse to talk easier." Qiu Fanghua was a little disappointed with the timidity of the Yan family's children. Not on.

"Isn't that right? Your uncle came to the city a few days ago and mentioned that there was a family in the countryside who was like this. The children in that family were different from them. They were so courageous. He directly yelled at the onlookers, saying who dared Look, he is the eighteenth generation of his ancestors."

Mother Li was joking to herself after talking about it.

She couldn't learn what she said, and it didn't make sense to say it.

"I guess even if the kid scolded him badly, no one would bother him." Li Xiang cleaned the bottom of the bowl and put down the bowl and spoon.

"Who cares about a half-year-old child?" Mother Li used a spoon to scrape the dripping soup from her grandson's mouth and replied.

"It's not like the old Yan family doesn't have half-grown children. It's not convenient for Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang to say, but Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi are not very old." Li Xiang got up and walked to the washstand, picked up the wet towel on it and wiped his face. .

"How can I put it this way? It's not entirely their fault that the children are timid. It's not impossible that there are people out there who behave worse than them." Mother Li said the truth.

Although the Yan family's children are a bit disdainful, compared with some people, they are not bad.

"Mom, although you are right, if they look like this, outsiders will inevitably feel cold in their eyes. Even if you originally wanted to help them, you have to weigh it in your heart now." Qiu Fanghua also put down the soup bowl and took it from her lover. He handed over the towel and said while wiping it.

"Before I came, your second aunt came over and handed over a message, saying that your second uncle heard it and if the Yan family really couldn't stand it any longer, they might ask to come to your side."

The third uncle is pitiful now, but on the second uncle's side, compared with the Li family, the second uncle still considers the Li family first.

If Li Xiang reveals his displeasure, he can't help but say something else, but he still needs to take action.

"Begging me?" Li Xiang frowned slightly. His first reaction was not whether to help or not, but to think about what he could do.

"Yeah, I said it was the first uncle who started it, but your second uncle also said that he probably has a faster tongue than his brain, and it doesn't look like he is specifically trying to cause trouble for you." Mother Li conveyed.

Li Xiang believed this statement, and now the First Master's family and the He family were tied to the same boat.

Whether it is for future pension or for the benefit of the He family, it is impossible for the first man to deliberately offend Li Xiang.

"It doesn't matter. Even if I didn't say it, they really can't get through it. I guess they won't miss me." Li Xiang said calmly.

"Then what are you going to say later? If you really want to come to the door, will you help or not?" Mother Li asked. She also needed an attitude from her eldest son.

Then she can decide how she should treat the Yan family next door.

"Mom, how should I respond to your question? Just take the neighbors as an example. Don't they have any intention of helping? Then why can they only watch the third uncle suffer without taking any action? It's not because they are powerless. ." Li Xiang shook his head and spread his hands helplessly.

Mother Li took a deep look at her eldest son, somewhat doubtful of his words.

If others say they are weak-minded, she still believes them.

But when it was her eldest son's turn to use this reason, she always felt that there was something hidden in it.

"So, you want to help, but you can't help?" Mother Li confirmed with a strange look on her face.

"I can help, but the third uncle may not be able to accept my help." Li Xiang replied in a strange tone.

"You're still playing tricks with your mother, I'll beat you to death, you brat."

Mother Li pushed her grandson into her daughter-in-law's arms, clenched her hand into a fist and was about to hit the hammer.
