Chapter 230: Silly Zhu's Big Marriage, Yi Zhonghai Gets Thoughts
Chapter 230 Silly Zhu’s wedding, Yi Zhonghai has thoughts
The "cracking" sound of firecrackers broke the tranquility of the courtyard.
Many residents yawned and poked their heads out of the house, just in time to see He Yuzhu entering with Han Zhizhi on his back.
When Li Weidong and others came in with Han Zhizhi's pile of dowry, their eyes were even redder.
Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru were also among the crowd watching.
However, they are not envious of these at all. If they follow Li Weidong, their life will definitely be better than that of Han Zhizhi.
Moreover, this is Han Zhizhi’s dowry and not He Yuzhu’s betrothal gift. What is there to envy?
But the residents around them were different. They felt sour. Seeing others living better than themselves was even more uncomfortable than killing them.
"This stupid Zhu who killed a thousand swords got so many good things from his wife's house, but he is not willing to treat us to a wedding drink. It's strange that he can give birth to a son!"
Hearing this, Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru turned their heads.
I originally wanted to make a joke, but when I found out that the person speaking was actually Jia Zhang, my face immediately turned the color of pig liver.
Qin Huairu scolded in a low voice: "Go back to your room, there is nothing you can see!"
Jia Zhang was about to curse, but when she saw Qin Huairu narrowing her eyes, she immediately gave up.
She is now entirely dependent on Qin Huairu for support, and she has also signed some unequal treaties. If she goes against Qin Huairu, then Qin Huairu will have even more excuses to drive her back to the countryside.
I could only go back to Xu Damao's house in despair.
When the other residents saw this, a sarcastic smile flashed across their faces.
Did you, Jia Zhang, have this day too? You deserve it!
They also slandered He Yuzhu in their hearts, and some even issued more vicious curses.
Seeing He Yuzhu, who was already living a better life than them, marrying a rich wife, was even more uncomfortable than killing them.
Every time He Yuzhu was scolded by the three uncles before, they would always add fuel to the flames.
I just want to see He Yuzhu suffer misfortune.
I don't care whether He Yuzhu's compensation far exceeds the value.
Anyway, as long as He Yuzhu is unlucky, they will be happy.
This is a typical hatred of the rich.
However, normal people hate the rich and want to work hard and surpass others.
The people in this courtyard are different. They want to bring each other to the same level as themselves.
Anyway, I'm already lying down. It's not like you're better off than me. I have to pull you to lie down with me!
As long as everyone is not having a good time, they will feel at ease.
You can't say that these people are sinister, they are simply bad.
However, no matter what they think in their hearts, they can't stop today's fool from becoming a winner in life.
This guy, when he was asked to go on a blind date with Han Zhizhi, it seemed like he was going to die.
Now he is smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, not to mention how happy he is.
Even He Yuyu said that he had bad luck.
He was about to become a leftover man, but he picked up a good wife.
Although Han Zhizhi is tall and thick, she can still look good if she dresses up carefully.
Didn't someone say that there are only lazy women, not ugly women?
Since there were no elders here, He Yuzhu directly called the deaf old lady over.
The deaf old lady was so happy that after drinking the couple's tea, she directly gave Han Zhizhi the bracelet she had put at the bottom of the box.
Although it's not worth a lot of money, it's still her deepest thought.
After completing the worship process, it was already noon.
Today, He Yuzhu is the groom, so naturally he can no longer cook.
So he asked one of his junior brothers to come over and help.
The other party's name was Nan Yi, and he had learned a few tricks from He Daqing before.
I am currently working in a machinery factory, and recently I was assigned to clean toilets due to ingredients issues.
When He Yuzhu has nothing to do, he will go to this junior brother to have a few drinks.
The relationship between the two is pretty good.
Today is a big day. Even if only relatives from two families and a few close friends are invited to the banquet, there will only be three tables in total.
But there must be someone who can hold the place.
He Yuzhu's apprentice Ma Hua is still far away from becoming a disciple, but Li Weidong learned a lot of cooking skills from He Yuzhu.
But He Yuzhu didn’t know.
No one would have thought that Li Weidong, who only learned a few skills from He Yuzhu, is now a chef whose cooking skills are as good as his.
So he went to Nanyi for help.
Nan Yi is a loyal person, so he naturally agreed without saying a word.
Arriving early this morning, Li Weidong followed He Yuzhu to pick up the bride. He was here in the courtyard, preparing a banquet with a group of women.
Originally, the craftsmanship between He Yuzhu and Nan Yi was almost the same, but due to his background, Nan Yi was used to tasting all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas since he was a child.
I have also communicated with many famous chefs, and my knowledge is broader than that of He Yuzhu.
Moreover, He Yuzhu learned cooking for a living, but Nan Yi learned cooking because he is a foodie himself and likes to strive for excellence.
Therefore, as time goes by, He Yuzhu's cooking skills have begun to stagnate, but Nan Yi's cooking skills have been improving.
When he saw the table of dishes in front of him, He Yuzhu realized that he might have fallen behind Nan Yi in terms of cooking skills.
Apart from anything else, he just couldn't make the presentation of these dishes.
After trying a bite, He Yuzhu couldn't help but give Nan Yi a thumbs up and said: "Junior brother, you have surpassed me in cooking skills!"
Nan Yi was not proud of He Yuzhu's praise. Instead, he said very modestly: "That's because I have more time to spend on cooking. Senior brother, you are so busy every day, how can you have time to do this."
He Yuzhu shook his head. Although he held grudges, he was not stingy and was always generous to his own people.
It's a pity to think that my junior brother's superb cooking skills will be buried due to his background.
He said to Li Weidong, who was enjoying a meal on the side: "Weidong, my junior brother is quite good, can you help him?"
Li Weidong raised his head and glanced at Nan Yi when he heard this. This guy is indeed a good person and worth dealing with.
However, this was the first time the two of them had met, and he still didn't know the situation in Nanyi, so naturally he couldn't agree hastily.
He just said: "Tell me carefully later."
"Hey!" He Yuzhu nodded vigorously.
In his opinion, Li Weidong is a smart man and always has many ideas. As long as he is willing, he will definitely be able to come up with a way to help Nan Yi.
On the other hand, Nan Yi, because he didn't know Li Weidong, was moved when he heard He Yuzhu asked Li Weidong for help, but he didn't have high hopes.
If his problem could be solved so easily, he wouldn't have to clean the toilet all the time for more than half a year.
Then his attention was quickly attracted to the bridesmaid.
Nan Yi never thought that he would meet Ding Qiunan at He Yuzhu's wedding.
He hadn't seen Ding Qiunan for a while. The people at the factory's infirmary said that she had been sent out to study, and they didn't say when she would be back.
Although Nan Yi knew where Ding Qiunan's home was, he couldn't just come to her door for no reason.
Although he didn't lick Qin Huairu as much as He Yuzhu did, he still did some things.
For example, he would use his own personal materials to feed Ding Qiunan every now and then.
It's a pity that Ding Qiunan doesn't seem to accept this trick and always rejects others thousands of miles away.
Just kidding, in Ding Qiunan's opinion, Nan Yi adding those weird ingredients in her lunch box was no different from poisoning.
Falling flowers are ruthless, but flowing water is purposeful. Nan Yi is somewhat discouraged.
However, his mentality is still relatively good. I will be lucky if I get it, and I will die if I lose it. I will never force it.
Now that he meets Ding Qiunan again, he is quite happy.
Well, maybe it's also the trait of a licking dog, and he likes to use self-comfort to confuse himself.
Just when he was thinking about how to go up and talk, he found that Ding Qiunan's eyes frequently drifted towards Li Weidong.
This made Nan Yi somewhat confused.
Li Weidong is not bad looking, but he is married. What does Ding Qiunan mean by this?
Maybe the two of them had a relationship before.
Little did she know that the reason why Ding Qiunan was like this was because she had seen Li Weidong visiting Zheng Juan's sister and brother in the hospital.
At that time, Ding Qiunan thought Li Weidong and Zheng Juan were a couple.
But when she saw the intimacy between Li Weidong and Yu Li just now, she realized that it was not what she thought at all.
Is this man trying to do both things?
After having a guess in her mind, Ding Qiunan was not in a hurry to verify it. First of all, she was not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business.
Secondly, I'm afraid that I guessed wrongly. If I encounter it again next time, maybe I can investigate it carefully.
Now, we are having a happy event. We can't mess up He Yuzhu's marriage because of Li Weidong's affairs, right?
Ding Qiunan still has this sense of propriety.
But she had no idea that the way she observed Li Weidong fell into Nan Yi's eyes, causing him some misunderstandings.
After lunch, everyone sat and chatted for a while, and then helped clear the table together.
After that, He Yuzhu packed the remaining dishes in batches and asked each guest who came to take some back.
When all the guests left, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Li Weidong and his wife worked hard for a day and were exhausted. They hurried back to their room, took their clothes and took a shower, then got on the kang and lay down.
I don’t even have the energy to teach Yu Li how to drive. Let’s talk about dinner and other things when she wakes up.
*******
The courtyard was bustling with activity, but Yi Zhonghai was not living a good life.
In order to block He Daqing, he specially asked for a day off.
I even squatted there for a long time, not even daring to go to the toilet, for fear that He Daqing would come over if I left.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, He Daqing was not seen at all.
This made Yi Zhonghai wonder if his information was wrong. Otherwise, why didn't he wait for He Daqing for so long?
But he didn't dare to leave now.
If He Daqing were to be found in the courtyard, everything about him would be ruined.
Yi Zhonghai thought that he should wait a little longer. When the sun goes down, and if He Daqing is still not seen, he will go back to the courtyard.
But he was a little hesitant about whether to go to Baoding and find He Daqing to settle the matter.
After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?
What if He Daqing suddenly comes to the courtyard when he goes to work one day?
Amidst Yi Zhonghai's hesitation, time passed quickly, and he failed to wait for He Daqing after all.
After riding his bicycle back to the courtyard, the first thing Yi Zhonghai did was to take clean pants and take a shower in the public bathroom.
He waited all day at Zhengyang Gate. Not only was he hungry and cold, he even had three urgent needs that he could hold in his pants.
For people of his age, there are some problems with the prostate. Once the urge to urinate comes up, it is difficult to hold it in.
Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai was wearing cotton trousers, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.
Even so, whenever you get close to him now, you can still smell a strong smell of urine.
Yi Zhonghai was a little lucky that he didn't meet his aunt when he picked up his pants, otherwise he would have been laughed at by her.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Yi Zhonghai felt much refreshed.
After coming out of the bathroom, he grabbed a passing resident and asked about He Yuzhu's wedding today.
The resident who was being pulled naturally told Yi Zhonghai everything, but there was some resentment in his tone.
The food at He Yuzhu's wedding banquet was so sumptuous that it was really uncomfortable for them not to be able to enjoy a meal.
But there was nothing he could do to He Yuzhu.
The three stewards came together and failed. How can they, ordinary neighbors, get a better deal?
Even Qin Huairu's family didn't get any advantage this time.
Their methods are not even as good as Qin Huairu's.
Yi Zhonghai found that He Daqing did not appear in his neighbor's story, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Today is a good day.
He didn’t show up at the wedding, so he probably won’t come again in the future, right?
Thinking like this, Yi Zhonghai felt a lot more relaxed.
After saying goodbye to the residents, he couldn't help but hum a ditty.
When he returned to the house and saw Auntie, he thought of the money that Auntie had taken away from him, and suddenly he felt heartbroken.
He shouldn't have listened to those rumors, otherwise there would be no need to give money to Auntie.
During dinner, Yi Zhonghai didn't hide it when his aunt asked about it.
He replied in a complaining tone: "I've been squatting there all day without even looking at a person. I think that He Daqing's coming back is probably just a rumor. I don't know where it came from. I don't know where it came from.
Let me know that I have to deal with him properly."
The aunt didn't think so.
She felt that it was groundless and not necessarily unreasonable.
Since such a thing can be reported, it is probably because He Daqing really sent some news back.
However, he did not remind Yi Zhonghai. Now she could see clearly that Yi Zhonghai had fallen into the obsession of old age and could not extricate himself.
You can save it this time, but you can't save it next time. The best way is to make a clear cut with Yi Zhonghai as soon as possible.
Before, I was afraid that my life would be difficult if I lost my source of income.
But things are different now. She has the thousand yuan given by Yi Zhonghai in her hand. What can't she do?
She is already at this age and her health is not very good.
If she lives frugally, this money might last until she returns home in a hundred years.
This idea is getting stronger and stronger, especially after seeing some ugly things about Yi Zhonghai.
If a person doesn't do it for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. He, Yi Zhonghai, didn't take her seriously, so why should she think about him?
Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting opposite, had no idea that Aunt Ma was already planning to leave him and run away, and was still happily planning what would happen next.
It was impossible for Si Zhu to support himself in old age, so he had to find a new goal.
Yan Bugui has the most sons in the courtyard, but they are all like their father, so they are not good candidates.
On the other hand, the two children of Liu Haizhong's family are not very bright, but this is a bonus!
Moreover, Liu Haizhong beat and scolded them frequently. He would beat them when he was happy and also when he was unhappy. You could hear Liu Haizhong beating and scolding the children every now and then.
Yi Zhonghai felt that as long as he gave some benefits, he could make the two brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian happy.
