Chapter 275 Suffering Losses and Making Enemies

From what Xiao Yushui said, you can tell that she is tired of eating eggs.

Nowadays, He Yuzhu wanted to slap her in the face for saying such things.

But when it comes to Rainwater, she also has a point.

In order to prevent her from attracting attention at school, but also to prevent her from being too bitter.

So during this period, He Yuzhu prepared a boiled egg for her every day.

That thing has no saltiness or sweetness, and eating it every day is really annoying.

But what to say about this kind of thing?

Given the current conditions, every family eats coarse grains and steamed bread with pickles. It's impossible for us to bring any delicious food to Yu Shui, right?

If you always show off your wealth and status in front of others, you will bring disaster to your family.

He Yuzhu even made sure the rain kept the boiled eggs away from people before eating them.

During this period, the rural areas implemented cooperatives, which were different from the later communes.

We can't say whether it's good or bad, but at this time in the countryside, whether it's breeding or something else, it's relatively abundant.

Nowadays, as long as farmers have enough food, raising two more chickens is not a big deal and they will not be slaughtered.

So as long as you have money and a flexible mind, you can still exchange for these things in the countryside.

The reason Yan Bugui made such a fuss was simply because he was reluctant to spend money.

He Yuzhu did not go to the pigeon market, nor did he exchange these things with his co-workers whose homes lived in rural areas at the factory.

There are people at home. Guo Lei and his team from the supply and marketing cooperative go to the countryside to collect eggs every day.

It seemed like there was some loss in the middle, and the exact amount was unclear, but anyway, the two little girls were able to supply it every other day.

Combined with the share of grain that the He family already had, Xiao Yushui was tired of eating this stuff.

The strange atmosphere in the yard is caused by this place. There is more than just He Yuzhu in this world that is related.

Other people may not be able to get close to anyone above them, but they always know someone below them.

It’s not too difficult to add some supplements.

But in this regard, every family pretends to be poor.

Ever since Yan Bugui stood at the door and cried poor to everyone, every household has returned to the situation before liberation overnight, and each one is more difficult than the other.

It should be said that in this regard, Courtyard No. 95 still has the temperament of being the head of the family.

Now that the Yan family is the eldest, there will be no problem in following the old university.

Just like the He family, now they have to be sneaky even when eating delicious food.

Fortunately, no one dares to push the door when the He family is having dinner.

Otherwise, He Yuzhu would not be able to hide his crying poor.

There are many things, some are good, and some are bad.

For example, regarding the matter of Xu Damao, He Yuzhu had reminded Yan Bugui not to go too far.

After all, before Xu Fugui left, he went to Yan Bugui's house to say hello.

But Yan Bugui looked embarrassed, as if he was reluctant to give up those things that he had obtained so easily.

Finally, Xu's mother returned to the yard. Naturally, she knew the source of her information, but she blocked the door of Yan Bugui's house and cursed him for half an hour.

Yan Bugui was scolded so hard that he hid in the inner room and dared not come out. Yang Ruihua was scolded so hard that he apologized to the Xu family repeatedly. Other families in the courtyard who had benefited from Xu Damao were scolded so hard that they directly returned all their things or cash to the Xu family.

He Yuzhu didn't go out to dissuade them at all. It was better to let the Xu family make a fuss about this kind of thing, so that Yan Bugui wouldn't have to cause trouble every day.

Yan Bugui is not like Yi Zhonghai, who is always so high-minded and encourages others to pay for his fame.

But after everything has happened, it is still a headache. It is like every household pretending to be poor.

However, the Xu family knows the details of every family, and Xu's mother is not as cunning as Xu Fugui.

She knew that her son was being bullied here. She spent a month's salary on one person, but was cheated of half of it by the neighbors in the yard.

How could a mother bear this?

So a mess was inevitable. Xu's mother could tell almost exactly how much each family earned and how much they spent.

Especially the Yan family. If Yang Ruihua hadn't rushed out to apologize to her, maybe even the Yan family's secret business would have been exposed.

With knowledge and eloquence like Xu's mother, Xu Damao would not suffer any loss as long as she came often.

But no one knows what the neighbors in the yard are thinking.

In He Yuzhu's opinion, Xu's mother was relieved after venting her anger, and no one would be able to take advantage of Xu Damao in the future.

But Xu Damao either doesn’t make any mistakes in the future. If he does, these neighbors will probably add insult to injury and beat him to death.

Human hearts were better for a few years after liberation. At that time everyone saw the blue sky, so they cleansed themselves to welcome the new world.

But the dirt in life always appears on everyone unknowingly, and the impact is silent.

After the passion is over, everyone still has to live their own lives and live selfishly.

Especially here in Siheyuan, there are too many pollution sources.

He Yuzhu did not get involved in this matter, and Xu's mother did not bring the He family along.

Because of Xu Damao's advantage, the He family never took advantage of him. Whenever He Yuzhu asked Xu Damao for something, he would pay for it on the spot.

Because of this, He Yuzhu was also gossiped about.

What it means is that what he did makes it difficult for others to do the same.

He Yuzhu lost his temper that time, and he cursed directly: "I spend my own money to buy things, what does it have to do with outsiders?
Even if someone picked up something from the ground, that was their luck.

I can buy things at the market or trade with Damao. Although the He family is poor, they don’t have the rule of taking other people’s things for free.”

These words slapped my face.
But when everyone looked at He Yuzhu's expression, no one dared to argue with him.

I don't have the courage to go to the streets and say anything.

At that time, everyone remembered He Yuzhu's other identity. He Yuzhu himself was nothing special, just a basic militiaman.

But his group of kids are the main force of the street armed militia.

If He Yuzhu was up to something in there, blocking someone on their way to the Pigeon Market, that would be really just looking for trouble.

This is how things happen in the yard. When He Yuzhu loses his temper, no one can find any handle against him. Thinking how difficult it is to deal with him, they will avoid the He family for a while.

But this kind of high pressure could not last long. Even He Yuzhu became easy-going again after a few days.

Occasionally, you'll let others take advantage of you.

So that others dare not bully you at will,
Let others regard him as an enemy,

This is a completely different thing.

Xu's mother's words pushed Xu Damao to the opposite side of everyone.

A few days later, word suddenly spread in the alley that Xu Damao was having an affair with a young widow in the countryside.

No matter how stupid Xu Damao was, he knew that this was a big deal.

He rushed into the He family with a pale face, and scared the He brothers and sisters who were having dinner.

Seeing Xu Damao like this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but blurt out: "Da Mao, the woman came to your house, why are you so flustered?"
