Chapter 95 Behave and stand up
"Hey, Master Yi, why did your family buy so much meat?" Yang Ruihua's exaggerated voice rang out at the gate of the courtyard, and her eyes were full of envy.

This is the difference between people. For example, when the Yan family sees other people’s good things, they will feel envious and greedy, but they will not be blinded by greed.

This is not to say that this family is so good, but Yan Bugui knows that greed that does not match one's own strength may ruin the Yan family.

This was raised by Yan Bugui at the Yan family meeting after the He Daqing incident.

Yang Ruihua understood very well, and this was the case with Jia Zhang who went in.

She only knows how to stir up trouble and has no ability to settle it. If she doesn't suffer, then who will?

Yi Zhonghai's face was a little embarrassed. He had tried to go there as early as possible and packed the meat he bought tightly in a cloth bag, but he was still blocked at the door by Yang Ruihua, who always got up early.

Yi Zhonghai took a step back and put some distance between himself and Yang Ruihua who was trying to come up and grab him.

Yi Zhonghai still smiled naively and said, "Isn't it the New Year?"

Yang Ruihua stopped in embarrassment. She was also sharp-eyed and had just seen the white spot sticking out from Yi Zhonghai's cloth bag.

Then, noting the marks left on Yi Zhonghai's shoulders by the strap of the cloth bag, he estimated in his mind that the Yi family had probably bought more than three pounds of fat meat.

It's not all fat. When Yang Ruihua leaned forward just now, he saw that there was not much lean meat.

This is the best meat these days.

Yang Ruihua asked tentatively, "Are the two families really going to merge into one this year?"

Yang Ruihua was one of the well-informed people in the courtyard. Although he had cheated the Yi family, under the management of the couple, he seemed to have reconciled with the Yi family on the surface.

So when I saw Yi Zhonghai, such a big buyer, I knew that the rumor from a few days ago must be true.

"It's just that the Dongxu couple has little experience, spends a lot of money, and doesn't know how to manage business. So we asked them to prepare less New Year's goods, so that it will be more lively to have the New Year's Eve dinner together." Yi Zhonghai explained seriously.

A word that Yan Bugui had said popped up in Yang Ruihua's mind - being both responsible and independent.

Yang Ruihua believes that it should be someone like Yi Zhonghai.

Since Yang Ruihua was well-informed, he could naturally find out the source of the news in the yard.

The idea that the two families would celebrate the New Year together should have been spread by Luo Qiaoyun in the yard.

It was nothing more than a test, hoping that the words would reach Qin Huairu's ears, and then Jia Dongxu would take the initiative to talk to the Yi family.

The reason why things are so complicated is that they want to finalize Jia Dongxu's care for the Yi couple in their old age, but they are unwilling to take the "active" responsibility.

So the meaning of Yi Zhonghai’s words now is help and pity.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai’s situation is very similar to that of the working group. He knows what is bound to happen, but some things are still uncertain.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai is not giving up.

After all, he is only less than 40 years old and there is still a lot of potential.

It is precisely because of Yi Zhonghai's indecision that the relationship between the Jia and Yi families has become unstable.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be all the mess that happened later.

Nowadays, there are good people and bad people, and they all have all kinds of little calculations.

But the Yi family has income and money, so as long as they find a few neighbors to act as guarantors and finalize the retirement plan, Jia Dongxu may not encounter any accidents later.

Of course, this is a development from the previous life.

Yang Ruihua said with a sour mouth: "Oh, Master Yi, you are really capable, you even care about your apprentice's family.

Unlike my old Yan, the children don’t get to see any money during the Chinese New Year.”

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai knew that Yang Ruihua had set his sights on him.

If there is no bleeding, who knows how this woman will behave. Yi Zhonghai rummaged in the cloth bag and picked up the piece of meat that the butcher gave him. He handed it to Yang Ruihua and said, "Sister-in-law of the Yan family, I don't have a knife, just this piece. Take it home and make some meat soup for the child."

Private vendors are still allowed to exist. Although meat processing plants and supply and marketing cooperatives are also being built, people still prefer to find private vendors when buying vegetables and meat. The reason is that they just enjoy the feeling of bargaining.

For example, butchers, regardless of whether they can make money or not, will always pick the less valuable parts of the pig and give them as a bonus to the customers.

This is the case with Yi Zhonghai's egg-sized piece of meat, with some lymph nodes. No one would eat it in later generations, but now no one is willing to throw it away.

Yang Ruihua took the piece of meat with a smile on his face, not feeling insulted at all.

This was because Yi Zhonghai couldn't afford to lose face. If Luo Qiaoyun went to buy meat, Yang Ruihua would never have thought of doing this.

Yes, this year the Yi family and the Jia family will have New Year’s Eve dinner together and celebrate the New Year together. This was what Jia Dongxu took the initiative to propose to Yi Zhonghai.

There was definitely some tug-of-war, most notably Jia Dongxu suggesting that he work with his master and his mistress on the grounds that he had no experience.

Jia Dongxu also took out 50,000 yuan, which was their meal plan money.

Then Yi Zhonghai righteously refused, saying that life was not easy for them as a young couple and that many relatives would visit during the New Year.

Especially since Jia Dongxu is the new son-in-law this year, he should hold on to the money he has and buy more things to honor his father-in-law.

It just so happened that these things happened right at the doorstep of the Yi family, right after dinner when everyone was busy.

Yi Zhonghai loves this kind of scene the most. No matter whether others believe what he says or not, at least he believes it himself.

Yang Ruihua was not sure about this. She was just trying to find out who had proposed this matter.

Of course, this kind of temptation will definitely not gain anything, and Yi Zhonghai giving the meat may also be intended to prevent Yang Ruihua from interfering in other people's business.

As for smart people, there is no need to explain everything so clearly.

After Yi Zhonghai sent Yang Ruihua away, he quickly walked into the middle courtyard. If a few more people came up to ask for meat, this little bit of meat would not be able to be taken home.

But when he walked into the central courtyard, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but stop. Damn, it smelled so good.

The aroma of braised meat leaking from the crack of He's door was so tempting.

Yesterday, I don't know where He Yuzhu got a big pig's head from, along with pig ears and pig's trotters.

Yang Ruihua also tried to test He Yuzhu, asking where he got this stuff from? How much did it cost? Can the brother and sister finish it? ...

He Yuzhu said that he was doing this to help his leader, and Yang Ruihua shut up.

So, although the Yan couple had some small calculations, they were not blinded by greed.

These things were given to him by Clerk Li.

He Yuzhu was not surprised that Mr. Li could do all these.

But he thought of leaving a copy for He Yuzhu, which really surprised He Yuzhu. Although He Yuzhu was the top general under Li at this time, whether Li could perfectly control the canteen depended on whether He Yuzhu would teach his apprentice diligently.

But this was the first time He Yuzhu saw a leader giving gifts to workers.
