Jia Dongxu became even more excited.
"They even put a lock on it; that lock must have cost a lot of money."
He was about to start using it when he said that.
He couldn't resist; even if He Hongyang wouldn't let him ride it, he could at least help him wipe the bike.
But he stopped her.
"This is my car, you can't touch it."
Jia Zhangshi came out of the house; she had already heard what was said.
He Hongyang had only been gone a short while when he came back with another bicycle.
It seems he really made a lot of money on this hunting trip.
Although she was incredibly envious inside, she pretended not to care.
"It's just a bicycle, Dongxu. Your master has a bicycle at home. If you want to ride it, I'll go borrow one for you."
...
Wishing you all a Happy New Year, all the best, and a prosperous Year of the Dragon! If you have any flowers or votes, please help me out – I would be incredibly grateful.
28. Yi Zhonghai pretends to be a big bad wolf.
Jia Dongxu's mentor was Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai is now a level 5 fitter, and he has no children, so his family doesn't need much money.
Therefore, the family in this courtyard is quite wealthy.
However, he bought that bicycle secondhand.
It's rusted by now.
It's simply incomparable to He Hongyang's car.
Yi Zhonghai, however, treated it like a treasure, wiping it over and over again every day.
Jia Dongxu quit.
“That bike of yours makes noise everywhere except for the bell, so I’m not going to ride it.”
"How about we don't buy a sewing machine, but instead buy a bicycle?"
Over the years, Jia Zhangshi had saved every penny she could, and with Lao Jia's work injury compensation, she only had a little over 200 yuan left.
These are to be saved for his marriage.
Once I get married, I'll buy a sewing machine and do mending for others to earn some money.
But only Jia Dongxu can ride the bicycle.
So what's the point of getting to work a little faster than others?
“Listen to your mother, we have two legs. At worst, we can get up early in the morning. Why do we need a bicycle? If we buy one, we’ll have to treat it like a precious artifact. That’s too much trouble.”
"Pfft!"
He Hongyang burst out laughing.
Jia Zhangshi is really good at deceiving herself.
Everyone has two legs, but does having two legs mean you should walk every day?
“Buying a car is for convenience and to save trouble, Jia Dongxu, your mother will not buy it for you.”
Wang Liying echoed this sentiment.
“We just rode back from outside, and it only took us less than 20 minutes. Normally, it would take us one or two hours to get back.”
Then the two of them looked at their watches.
"Oh dear, it's almost noon, everyone hurry home for lunch."
He has both a watch and a bicycle.
At the same age, Jia Dongxu had nothing.
While others stay at home all day, he goes to work early and returns late every day.
Logically speaking, I'm diligent enough, and I'm hardworking enough, so why can't I compare to him? Why can't I buy whatever I want?
He was so angry that he plopped down on the ground.
"No, I want a bicycle. With a bicycle, I can marry a better wife. Anyway, you have to buy it for me."
Just then, Yi Zhonghai came out.
He's been leaving early and returning late these past few days, unaware that such a big thing happened in the yard.
When he got back, he heard an older woman excitedly rambling in his ear.
It's said that the He family has finally turned their lives around. He Hongyang has brought a woman back, and they've received a lot of gifts from others. It seems that this family has completely turned their lives around.
Yi Zhonghai didn't care at first.
After all, he held a very important position in this courtyard.
Even He Daqing couldn't compare to him back then. After he ran away with the widow, the He family became the laughing stock of the whole courtyard.
Does He Hongyang think he can compare to me?
Based on the He family alone.
He's not even as good as one of his little fingers!
Perhaps it was just a lucky break; he caught a few prey and made a little money.
But there are now five people in his family, and it's simply impossible for him to support so many people by hunting alone.
However, his relationship with the Jia family was unusual.
Jia Dongxu is both his apprentice and the person he has designated for his future retirement.

Yi Zhonghai has no children.
After looking around the entire hospital, he concluded that Jia Dongxu was the most suitable candidate.
Therefore, no matter what happens, they always side with the Jia family.
He coughed deeply.
"Cough cough!"
I want to get everyone's attention.
As soon as Jia Zhangshi saw him come out, she ran over to him excitedly.
"Master Yi, you be the judge. It's just about looking at his bicycle. We all live in the same courtyard. Why can't we touch it?"
His eyes turned to He Hongyang.
But He Hongyang completely ignored him.
Of all the people in the courtyard, the one he disliked the most was Yi Zhonghai.
They appear very serious on the surface, saying they are considering everyone's interests.
In reality, all he was thinking about were hypocritical and sanctimonious things.
Everything he does is for his own benefit.
Even speaking out for Jia Dongxu now is a calculated move to secure his future retirement.
He's just a level 5 fitter at a steel rolling mill.
This is at home, not in a factory.
What's with the attitude?!
“Hongyang, I heard you bought a lot of things. It’s good for young people to make money, but you have to be careful. Don’t end up not having enough to eat and having to borrow from other people.”
What a joke.
The He family had lived a difficult life before, but they hadn't yet reached the point where they needed to borrow from others.
On the contrary, it was the Jia family.
Life wasn't too bad, but every now and then, I'd have to borrow something from my neighbor.
It's obvious that they just want to take advantage of others.
"Don't worry, the He family will not go hungry, and we will not borrow anything from other people."
With just one sentence, he shut Yi Zhonghai down.
He was the most respected person in the courtyard, and everyone treated him with utmost respect.
Unexpectedly, his authority had no effect on He Hongyang.
"I heard you bought a bicycle. How much did it cost? You didn't borrow the money, did you? Don't let the owner of the house come looking for you and I have to stand up for you."
borrow?
This word doesn't exist in He Hongyang's dictionary!
"I bought this myself. As for how much it cost, that's none of anyone else's business. If you want to know how much it cost, you can go and buy one yourself."
Although He Hongyang said this with a smile, his tone was full of disdain.
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned green.
"No matter how they came to be here, our courtyard house can't tolerate those petty thieves."
Wang Liying stepped forward.
"So you must be Master Yi. This is what my brother Hongyang earned from hunting. What makes you say that? We would never do such a thing."
Could she be the woman living in He Hongyang's house?
Judging from her appearance, she should be a girl from a respectable family.
How could she possibly be interested in someone from the He family?
He originally thought that He Hongyang would never be able to get married in his life, and even if he did, he would only be able to marry a widow with a child.
I never expected that he would be with such a beautiful girl. (78)
What incredible luck he had!
...
Wishing you all a Happy New Year, all the best, and a prosperous Year of the Dragon! If you have any flowers or votes, please help me out – I would be incredibly grateful.
29. Making empty promises to the Jia family mother and son
wrong!
Did they get married?
Why do you keep calling him "my brother Hongyang"?
Could these two be living together before they're even married?
It's totally immoral!
It's a disgrace to the traditional courtyard house!
"What kind of nonsense is this? It's unbecoming for a young woman like you to live in the He family's house like this... "
Seeing that he was about to continue, Jia Zhangshi's eyes darted around, and she pulled him aside and whispered a few words to him.
Then he pretended to wave.
"It's okay, everyone go back."
