Chapter 746 Jia Zhang's Conflict
Chapter 746 Jia and Zhang Clan Create Conflict
Every word that Jia Zhang said was extremely harsh and hit Yi Zhonghai in the lungs.
Yi Zhonghai was regretting his decision so much that his intestines turned green. The thought of becoming a relative of Jia Zhang in the future made him feel overwhelmed.
But the good thing is that we don’t have to live together, and the main thing is that if we live together, things won’t get out of hand.
Everyone has their own house, so it’s best if no one goes to anyone else’s house.
Yi Zhonghai left the courtyard in dejected mood, and when he arrived at the factory, he had a completely different expression on his face.
When Yi Zhonghai returned to the factory, he felt that his status and identity were somewhat different. After all, it was Director Yang who had testified for him, which made him a rare master in the factory.
Yi Zhonghai basically doesn't have to take the initiative to work now, he just needs to direct the workers and apprentices under him.
Finally, he had vented all the anger he had felt towards Jia Zhang in the courtyard.
However, Yi Zhonghai was still worried about Jia Zhang's possibility of causing trouble at night.
After all, this is a big event in their family and no accidents can happen.
I was sent to jail this time, and I was very lucky to be able to get out.
We are just waiting for this to happen. If Jia Zhang makes a fuss, a good thing will turn into a bad thing, and it will be too embarrassing.
Yi Zhonghai found Liu Haizhong, who is the current acting manager and holds a high position of power in the Siheyuan.
At noon, Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to find Liu Haizhong and invited Liu Haizhong to have lunch.
"Lao Liu, we have been brothers for so many years."
"Although there were some bumps in the road, after all, we've been through so much, and we still have a tacit understanding."
"You are now the boss in our courtyard. Yan Bugui and I have already stepped down."
"The marriage of Sha Zhu and Li Ping is the most important event in our courtyard."
"I plan to let you take care of it. You have to get this done for me. There must not be anyone like Jia Zhang who causes trouble."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get a commission from you if you do this, so how about 5 bucks?"
Liu Haizhong was far behind Yi Zhonghai in terms of technical skills, and he had always been feeling resentful about it, after all, he was paid 5 yuan less every month.
But when it comes to being a leader, Liu Haizhong is still good at it.
He didn't get any official position in the factory, but he was very successful in the courtyard.
Of the original three managers, he is the only one left, although he has a direct superior, Han Weimin.
But Han Weimin is basically not around, so Liu Haizhong is now in charge of all matters, big or small.
Liu Haizhong felt flattered by Yi Zhonghai's praise. He got a free lunch at noon and 5 dollars for organizing the wedding.
The most important thing is that Yi Zhonghai is now very well-behaved and obedient. He has been flattering me and giving me enough face.
Liu Haizhong was eating spicy chicken, but his family hadn't had meat for a long time.
Today I finally have a taste of meat in my mouth.
"Old Yi, the marriage of Li Ping and Sha Zhu is the most important event in our courtyard."
"It's been a while since our courtyard has been so lively, so anyone who ruins this great event is going against everyone."
"And I heard that you and Sha Zhu are going to treat everyone to a good meal. To be honest, you are very supported by everyone now."
"So don't try to make any trouble, Jia Zhangshi. I will hold her down tonight."
"When will it be her turn to give orders in our courtyard? Look how capable she is."
If you take something from someone, you should be grateful; if you eat something from someone, you should be grateful. Moreover, Liu Haizhong is both eating and taking things, so he must help Yi Zhonghan to calm down the situation.
"Don't worry, Lao Yi. With us brothers here, we will definitely accomplish your mission and make you famous."
"When the time comes, I will call on Lao Xu and Lao Yan, and have them unite their forces so that we can deal with this old woman."
"Then Jia Zhang just wants to make some money. She has no shame."
"Li Ping is already married for the second time, and she is divorced from Jia Dongxu. She has no significant relationship with their family."
"Li Ping has done her utmost to support her, but she doesn't know what's good for her."
"This time when Li Ping got married, he actually wanted a dowry, and he wanted 68 yuan. It's simply a daydream."
"No one in our courtyard asks for such a high betrothal gift. If she sets the betrothal gift so high, then won't other families have to pay the same amount in the future?"
"This damn old woman is just looking for trouble."
Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and other families all have it. It is a huge expense to have two or three sons get married.
Especially in this special period of material scarcity, if a couple gets married and the bride price is so high, no family can afford it.
Therefore, Liu Haizhong raised this matter out of righteous indignation and was determined not to let the Jia Zhang family ruin the moral standards.
In the evening, the whole institute meeting was held as scheduled.
This time Han Weimin was at home, so Han Weimin was the chief host and Liu Haizhong sat next to him.
Generally speaking, Han Weimin rarely speaks in situations like this, and is indifferent to trivial matters.
Generally, this kind of performance opportunity is given to Liu Haizhong, which not only makes Liu Haizhong satisfied, but also makes him very grateful to Han Weimin.
Liu Haizhong had already notified Lao Xu and others in the courtyard. After all, every family has a son who is about to get married, so they should all boycott Jia Zhang.
But Han Weimin still has to make opening remarks.
"My dear neighbors, thank you for your kindness. You have always elected me as the manager."
"This time, I want to announce a good news, that is, Li Ping and Sha Zhu will get married next Saturday."
"I will be their witness at the wedding. I have watched them love each other all the way to this point."
"I am also very moved by love. I was not optimistic about their success, but I didn't expect them to persist until now. Let them finally get married."
"And I will also bring two bottles of precious wine so that everyone can taste it."
“Originally I wanted to give more so that everyone could celebrate, but everyone is very aware of the situation during this period.”
"The natural disasters were severe, food production dropped drastically, and both farmers and the country suffered heavy losses."
"So our winery has suffered a huge impact. I was planning to keep these two bottles of real wine as gifts for my old boss. Now that this happy event has happened, I can only give them as gifts to the newlyweds."
Zhenjiu is now a famous brand throughout the city, having long surpassed Moutai, Fenjiu and Erguotou.
Many people have heard of the Siheyuan, but have never seen or smelled one.
I didn't expect to get to drink a sip of it at Sha Zhu and Li Ping's wedding. It was quite a treat.
Because of the grain saving, the production of wine factories has plummeted, and now all kinds of wines on the market are very expensive. Sha Zhu and Li Ping were also grateful. At this time, Han Weiming took out two bottles of precious wine, which was more precious than the gift money of dozens of yuan.
Han Weimin continued.
"However, such a good thing was opposed by Jia Zhang."
"No matter what, Jia Zhang is also a member of our courtyard, and can be considered an old neighbor."
"I don't know why he objects. Now let our acting steward, Mr. Liu Haizhong, preside over the meeting. Everyone is welcome."
Amid the applause of the crowd, Liu Haizhong stood up slightly and patted his belly.
"Jia Zhang, you have also seen that the marriage between Sha Zhu and Li Ping is the general trend, and everyone supports it unanimously."
"You can tell by the enthusiasm of everyone. Everyone wants to take advantage of this event to have some fun and celebrate."
"You have food and drink now, and Li Ping has a formal and easy job now. What do you have to object to?"
"Now you have someone to raise your grandchild. What else do you want? You still want to ruin the marriage."
Jia Zhang stood up, looking angry, like a big toad.
He glared at her with his triangular eyes and knew at first glance that this old woman was not a good person.
"No matter what, Li Ping is still my daughter-in-law."
"Even if she and Dongxu are divorced as you said, she lives under the same roof with me. Is that true? She lives in my house, and I run the household for her, cook, wash clothes, and take care of the children."
"You know how difficult our family was before he got his permanent job."
"I also go out to work. It's so hard to play a minor role in Han Weimin's crew. No matter how many beatings I get, I'm still making money, okay?"
“So I’m a pretty good elder.”
"Now Sha Zhu wants to marry Li Ping. I have no objection. I am also a reasonable person."
"I am also very happy to see them together, this is what I look forward to."
"But Shazhu wants to marry Li Ping, and Yi Zhonghai, as his godfather, is unwilling to pay even a penny for the gift."
"There is no such thing as a cheap deal. Our Li Ping is a second marriage and has a child."
"But she has good conditions. She is not too old, can still have children, and has a good job."
"Excuse me, besides Han Weimin, who else in our courtyard has a better job than her? She works in the data room, away from the wind and the sun. She doesn't have to do any physical work, and the salary is quite high."
"He has such good conditions, what's wrong with me asking Yi Zhonghai to pay 68 yuan for the betrothal gift?"
"Now that everyone's salary has increased, the bride price has also risen."
"I didn't ask for much, and the gift money was given to me. I used it to buy a big comb later. It's not like I spent it myself."
"Can I still help clean up the house in the future? They are not at home during the day."
"There is no such thing in the world. As long as they don't give you money, the marriage won't happen. I don't agree."
Jia Zhang is a person who will not suffer a loss, so if she can't get the bride price this time, she will have no money at all and will be very short of money.
After all, no one wants to ask others for money. Now Li Ping has been managing her own money and has not handed it over to Jia Zhang.
Everyone was surprised that Li Ping directly asked for a dowry of 68 yuan, after all, there had never been such a high dowry before.
Generally, families only give about ten yuan, and at most twenty or thirty yuan. These are the market prices.
Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang directly doubled the amount, which really shocked everyone.
Liu Haizhong used a color, and Yan Bugui was the first to stand out in the crowd.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, you are just being unreasonable."
"Since the founding of the new society, we have never received such a high gift in our courtyard."
"What's more, Li Ping is a second marriage with a child. No matter how good her conditions are, she can't give such a high gift."
"Besides, Li Ping and you actually have no real relationship anymore. She just keeps supporting you because she feels sorry for you and no one cares about you. You really take yourself too seriously."
"Let's talk about it more seriously."
"Are you selling your daughter-in-law? Or your daughter? I am absolutely against it."
Xu Damao's father, Xu Wude, has often taken advantage of his seniority to show off to others that his son is a projectionist and has a good job since he returned to the courtyard.
Moreover, Xu Wude had always wanted to become one of the managers, but he never had the chance, and his popularity was too low.
This time Liu Haizhong came to him personally, so he had to work hard.
"Be careful or I will report you to Director Wang of the community and have you kicked out of our courtyard."
Some other people also echoed and continued to criticize Jia Zhang.
If this continues, anyone who wants to marry a daughter-in-law in the courtyard house will have to spend a lot of money, which will bring about a bad atmosphere.
Facing everyone's accusations, Jia Zhang acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He just wanted money, and without money he would not succeed.
"I don't care what you say, giving a betrothal gift is a natural thing to do when getting married. It's not okay for Yi Zhonghai to be stingy."
"No matter how much, you should at least give something as a token of your appreciation."
But she was immediately rejected by everyone because Jia Zhang had no qualifications at all.
It seems that continuing to make trouble like this is not a solution, this problem must be resolved.
Jia Zhang looked like she was about to die, and was ready to invite Old Jia out of the underworld. Of course, this time she also had to ask her son to help her deal with the situation and deal with everyone.
Everyone is already used to pretending to be feudal and superstitious.
Han Weimin said.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, to put it bluntly, you are actually worried about your retirement and have always wanted to save some money for your retirement."
"This question is also simple. After Sha Zhu and Li Ping get married, your whole family can basically get food from the cafeteria."
"Everyone knows this, so your meal won't cost you much."
"The average family has five dollars a month for living expenses. For a family like yours that is small, four dollars might be enough."
"Shazhu, bring some from the cafeteria. Two dollars might be enough for you. Besides, you can eat well. The cafeteria often has delicious fish and meat for you to bring back."
"How about this, let Sha Zhu and Li Ping give you three yuan a month, and you will be responsible for the family's meals. This way you can have one yuan left every month, and you can save it slowly. After a few years, you will have enough money."
