A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 77 Report
He Yukai came back with the fish, which immediately caused a sensation in the courtyard.

At this time, five fish can feed some families for more than a month.

If you can’t finish the fish, make it into salted fish and save it for later use when you want to eat it.

Given the He family's style, they couldn't stay in the courtyard for the whole day.

It has been a long time since the He family had smelled any delicious food, which meant that even if one was rich, one could not eat good food in this era.

There’s nothing we can do about the big house, it’s because the He brothers are rich.

People have their own land deeds, which are their ancestral property and are not distributed by the street or factory.

Many people have also asked what the two little ones in the He family eat. Like everyone else, they eat steamed buns and pickles. Today, the He family is going to have meat.

What else can we do except envy? They have the ability.

"What do you think of the current situation? How can the He family boss still catch so much fish?
I heard that many people go to the moat to fish, and I guess they have almost caught all the fish!

I didn’t expect there would be such a big fish, I estimate it to be around two kilograms, which would last our family a month.”

Neighbor A was sighing and thinking that it would be great if he had this ability.

"What can we do? Didn't you see that he had fishing gear? I guess he caught it by fishing.

The He family boss's fishing skills are so good that even the third uncle admires him."

Neighbor B shook his head and said there was no comparison.

"Alas, there is no comparison, no comparison. In recent years, apart from old man Li, only the Wang family can get help from the He family."

Neighbor C also shook his head.

"These two families are also the most needy in the courtyard. Besides, He Yukai made it very clear that the money is for the children to study. If the children don't study, it will be stopped immediately.

I agree with this point. The second son of the Wang family is now attending a technical secondary school. I heard that he is studying mechanics. I guess the Wang family may have a technician."

"Yeah, what is this called? The third uncle mentioned it once before, but I forgot it because I didn't study enough. I'll go ask the third uncle for advice."

"I remember, I remember, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

It means providing financial and material support, and not teaching skills, so that the family can have a better life."

Jia Zhang, who was standing by, was listening to other people's discussion. She suddenly thought of what the third uncle said with certainty, that there were fewer and fewer fish and it was difficult to catch them.

I guess it's He Yukai, the heartless bastard, who is selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton.

It might be a fish obtained through speculation. Let Huairu go and get one to try. If he can’t get the upper hand, I’ll report him.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang trembled with pride. It was not easy. After all these years, she finally caught this bastard.

The He family bought three turns and one ring, seventy-two legs, or two sets before the bill came.

Even the little man Xu Damao bought one, but after the Chinese New Year, tickets were needed to buy these things, and they were hard to come by.

Jia and Zhang both felt that God was on the He family's side.

Later, when I saw that they had only three employees, and they were the only ones in the entire Nanluoguxiang, I felt even more unwilling.

Now that they have the evidence, if they can’t get the fish, they can report it. Anyway, the He family doesn’t know who reported it.

I'm so sorry for being so unsympathetic. My family is already in such a difficult situation, but you help other families instead of mine.

There are only two money-losing guys in Old Man Li's family. What's the point of your financial support?

My son Bang Geng will be an official in the future. If you support my son Bang Geng, it will be a blessing for your family's ancestors.

"Huai Ru, the He family brought back five big fish. You should ask for one. There are so many fish, but I don't know how many to bring as a tribute to the elders.

These unreasonable people from the He family, our family is already in such a difficult situation, but they are unwilling to help us even though they are enjoying a good life themselves.
After arriving home, Jia Zhang began to make arrangements for Qin Huairu. To be honest, Qin Huairu was very resistant.

"Mom, other families are easy to deal with, but forget about the He family. Have you seen me asking for things from the He family in the past few years?
Don't bother to be quiet. The He family boss doesn't say anything. Lou Xiao'e is becoming more and more sharp-tongued now. She seems to be learning from Cai Wenqing. Silly Zhu just ignores me. I can't get out of here."

Qin Huairu didn't want to go even more. She was frightened when she thought of Cai Wenqing's meaningful look. She always felt that she was naked in front of Cai Wenqing.

"Just go when you're told to go. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Dongxu is supporting you alone now, and you don't want to think of a solution?

I have never seen someone as useless as you. You can't even catch a fish."

Jia Zhang didn't care about Qin Huairu's thoughts. She didn't have to ask for it herself. She would just eat it when she got it. As long as she got it once, it would be easy in the future.

"Grandma, I want to eat fish."

Bang Geng, who was playing nearby, started to make a noise when he heard what Jia Zhang said.

Ever since Jia Zhang came back, Banggeng has finally found a backer. Whatever he wants, his grandmother will get it for him.

He Bing and He Qian had milk candies to eat, so they went home and asked for milk candies, so their grandmother bought some for them. Their grandmother was so good to them.

"My dear grandson, wait a minute, let your mother go get one for my dear grandson to eat.

Qin Huairu, why don't you hurry up? My eldest grandson wants to eat fish, but you still have one in your belly.
Don't let my Jia family's good grandson lack nutrition. It would be easy for you, a pregnant woman, to ask for it. Do you want me to go? You are useless."

Qin Huairu was speechless. At least I am still making matchboxes and can afford my own food. Unlike you, you are so lazy and a huge eater.

But Qin Huairu didn't dare to say such words out loud and could only mutter them in her heart.

Although Jia Dongxu is nice to him, once a conflict arises, Jia Dongxu will not help either side.

When neighbors see me arguing with my mother-in-law, they think I am unfilial.

This is not consistent with her personality. Ever since she could no longer get food from the countryside, Jia Zhang's attitude towards her has changed a lot.

I used to be able to help with housework, but now I do nothing. I just eat and sleep.

This made Qin Huairu even more envious of Cai Wenqing and Lou Xiaoe, as they didn't even have to cook, they just had to wash the vegetables.

Why is my life so hard while yours is so good?
It would be fine if Cai Wenqing ignored me, after all, there was a huge gap in their status. It was normal for him to be a little arrogant.

But why are you, Lou Xiao'e, so arrogant?
At first I felt that Lou Xiao'e was an easy person to fool, but when I talked to her, she ignored me.

It's as boring as talking to a piece of wood. After doing it so many times, I can't get close to him anymore.

And there is Sha Zhu, I remember very clearly the cook who looked at me with shining eyes when I first entered the compound.

Those burning eyes seemed to want to swallow me up.

But now, he doesn't even look at me.

If we meet him in the compound, he will even go around in a circle to avoid meeting him.

Not to mention, talking.

Even if I try to establish a good relationship with the He family, I won't have any chance.

If there is a chance, for the sake of my own life and for the sake of my children, I would even sleep with them.

For me, it’s just for a better life and for my children to live a better life. Unfortunately, even if you stick to them, they will ignore you.

If Lou Xiao'e knew what Qin Huairu was thinking, she would definitely say that it was all thanks to He Yukai and Cai Wenqing, until He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e could no longer withstand Qin Huairu's pitiful behavior and burst into tears.

He was afraid that if he showed compassion, he would get entangled with the Jia family, so after analyzing the situation clearly, he gave a suggestion directly.

Since they knew they were no match for Qin Huairu, they shouldn't give her a chance to speak. So the couple avoided her whenever they saw her.

There was really no way around it, so no matter what Qin Huairu said, just don't respond. That's it, and the effect is really significant.

"Zhu Zi, I'm cleaning the fish. Look, my cat Bang Geng is clamoring for fish. I still have one in my stomach. I've been suffering from severe malnutrition lately. Can you give me a fish?
Consider it a loan from me. I’ll return it to you when Dongxu gets his salary.

Now Dongxu is the only one working in our family, and the food ration is not enough. We have to sell food at a high price on the black market every month. We really don’t have extra money to supplement. Please help me and have mercy on my children.”

Qin Huairu mentioned the difficulties of her own family and brought up her children, which could be considered moral kidnapping. After she finished speaking, she stared at He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, please say something."

Looking at the silent He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu urged him.

The black market in this era is also turned a blind eye by the authorities and is not severely cracked down.

The targets of the crackdown are those who manipulate the pigeon market and those who ship large volumes.

There is no way. The food ration is not enough. You can't just watch people starve to death, right?
The significance of the existence of the black market lies in the fact that people who can take out food and supplies to sell on the black market are relatively wealthy in this regard.

By the way, I could exchange some things I needed to take back. Otherwise, how could there be a so-called black market in the capital, the best place in the world? And how could so many people know about it?
You underestimate the control over those above you. It's impossible to hide it as long as they want to know.

The approach we should take is to neither promote nor support the idea as long as you don't go too far, and just turn a blind eye.

Qin Huairu was crying, but He Yuzhu didn't say a word or respond.

Clean your own fish, even the fish entrails. Once it's clean, it's great as a side dish for drinking.

He Yuzhu remembered Cai Wenqing's words, you can't beat Qin Huairu, as long as she comes to talk to you, you must hold back and remain silent.

You should remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations. Even if Qin Huairu has great abilities, she will not be able to do anything to you.

"Silly Zhu, Qin Huairu's family is in such a difficult situation. After hearing so much, don't you have any sympathy?

You have so many fish at home, what's wrong with giving Qin Huairu one?
What's more, Qin Huairu is pregnant and needs nutrition.
All my years of educating you have been wasted. I am very sad to see you become like this now.

Zhuzi was such a good person at that time, he would give food to those who needed it most even if he didn’t eat it himself.”

At this time, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu stood there without knowing when.

Jia Dongxu felt that his wife had lost face for him. It would be fine if she wanted to come, but it would be embarrassing if she didn’t come and the other party didn’t respond. I worked so hard and overtime, and you guys went hungry?

At this time, Jia Dongxu didn't know that Qin Huairu was forced out by Jia Zhang.

"Yi Zhonghai, don't talk without any hesitation. With your high salary, can't you just buy one for the Jia family?

There are 8 people in our family. It's not easy for anyone these days. We haven't had meat for a long time.

The children of the Jia family are children, but mine are not, right?

There should be a limit to partiality. If my family doesn't eat and gives everything to the Jia family, then we can be considered compassionate. What a shame!
And I'm not a saint, why would I starve my own children to give the fish to the Jia family? Are you out of your mind?

You don’t have children, so you don’t know how to treat your own children.

That is the flesh and blood that I cannot bear to eat myself so I give it to my children.

I have never heard of anyone giving away food that they are reluctant to eat.

It's really eye-opening, Yi Zhonghai has to say, you always refresh my understanding of you.

Those who stand at the highest moral point and accuse others are the most immoral.

This was the first time that He Yuzhu spoke to Yi Zhonghai in such a tone. Ever since He Yukai came back from Baocheng and found out that Yi Zhonghai had swallowed up He Yushui's membership fee, He Yuzhu wanted to beat Yi Zhonghai up, but was stopped by He Yukai.

The key things must be taken out at the most critical moment to be useful and maximize benefits.

He Yuzhu knew that his elder brother had other plans, so he didn't say anything.

In the past, when my sister-in-law worked in the street office, Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to make trouble. But this time, when my sister-in-law went to the steel rolling mill, Yi Zhonghai started to stir up trouble again. Who gave you the confidence?

"Silly, you..."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect He Yuzhu to speak to him like this.

The people He Yuzhu has always respected must be He Yukai and his wife, it must be them, Yi Zhonghai roared in his heart.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to say something when he saw He Yuzhu walking away with the cleaned fish.

Yi Zhonghai could only go home with a gloomy face, and didn't even hear what Jia Dongxu said.

When Jia Zhang learned that she didn't get the fish, she asked Qin Huairu to cook while she cursed He Yuzhu.

Then he found an excuse to go to the toilet and went straight to the street office to report. Jia Zhang was really stupid. It would have been better to wait for the third uncle to come back and ask first. But he went to report it so rashly.

"Excuse me, that is Comrade He Yukai?"

The young comrade on duty at the street office was very excited after hearing the report, as he received the report on his first day at work.

I must perform well so that I can open up the situation faster and gain a firm foothold.

The old man in the street office knew who He Yukai was, but he happened to meet a young and inexperienced newcomer.

"That's me, what can I do for you?"

The family was getting ready to eat when there was a knock on the door.

I originally thought it was someone in the yard, but I saw a young stranger coming in.

"Our subdistrict office received a report that you were engaged in speculation and profiteering. We are here to understand the situation. Please tell us the truth about the origin of the fish."

At this time, the people in the yard gathered around, and when they heard He Yukai talking about speculation, they looked at each other.

I thought it could only be fish. He Yukai came back with fish in the morning. Could it be that He Yukai was really speculating?
"Oh, what did I speculate on? Is there any evidence?"

He Yukai was a little angry. The temple was small but the evil spirits were strong.

“You said there were five big fish, but the river was frozen over as the Spring Festival was approaching, so where did you get the five big fish?

Why don't you tell the truth? What's your attitude? Tell me everything that happened."

He Yukai looked at the young man in front of him with a look of disbelief. How can you make a judgment without any evidence?
He turned around and looked at Cai Wenqing, meaning that you have been away from the street office for quite some time, and for someone like you to gain a foothold in the street office, your abilities still need to be strengthened.

Cai Wenqing certainly understood He Yukai's thoughts, shook his head, and rolled his eyes again, meaning that I don't know him, and everyone in the street office is related to me? Are you so naive?
