Hearing that he could get so much money, Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up. "Mom, you are really considerate.

I almost forgot about it.

And judging from his appearance, he may not have found a wife yet, which means we don't have to repay this favor.

This money just fell from the sky!"

Seeing that Jia Dongxu understood her plan, Jia Zhang smiled even more triumphantly. "In this courtyard, which family has not taken advantage of our Jia family? Silly Zhu He Yuzhu must abide by the rules."

After hearing what his mother said, Jia Dongxu changed his mind about inviting He Yuzhu to the wedding. Instead, he was full of expectation and immediately nodded and promised: "Mom, don't worry. I will find He Yuzhu as soon as he comes back."

After that, he waited outside the courtyard gate and told everyone he met the details of the wedding.

Although the other neighbors were not as wealthy as He Yuzhu, they also understood the importance of giving gifts. Even if the amount was not much, it was a token of their thoughtfulness after all.

As for He Yuzhu, he was still busy with his daily life and had no idea that he was being noticed by the Jia mother and son.

Recently, he has also used his free time to study the learning materials in the system space and found that his memory and comprehension have greatly improved.

This made He Yuzhu more confident about his future: as long as he kept learning, becoming a chef, going to college or becoming an engineer in the future would no longer be an unattainable dream.

You know, in this era, engineers are known as the most respected senior talents.

Their monthly salary is comparable to most people's annual salary, and they enjoy generous benefits and high social status.

Only if you continue to learn and grow, it will become easier to break away from the beast-like groups in Siheyuan in the future.

After get off work, He Yuzhu rode his bike home while thinking.

He had already made a plan in his mind. After reading the textbooks at hand, he went to the library to borrow books related to mechanical manufacturing.

In addition, he also plans to take time to study the "big brother"

language.

Many devices in China support input from big brothers. If you don’t know their language, the results you can achieve may not be very good.

Just as He Yuzhu was still planning his next move, Jia Dongxu suddenly jumped out, catching him off guard. "Zhuzi, I'm getting married this Friday, you must come then!"

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. He realized that Qin Huairu might soon marry into this courtyard.

Thinking about how I was once deeply attracted to Qin Huairu, I couldn't help but feel curious about what this woman who changed the fate of so many people would look like.

Jia Dongxu looked at He Yuzhu, who had a dazed look on his face, and thought that he had not spoken clearly enough, so he reminded him again: "Zhuzi, don't forget!"

"Be sure to come then."

He went on to say, "Oh, don't give the share money directly to my mother, just give it directly to me."

Obviously, Jia Dongxu was afraid that Jia Zhang would take the share money for himself.

Even though it was just some pocket money, he felt sorry for it, which showed that he knew Jia Zhang's character too well.

After Jia Dongxu's reminder, He Yuzhu's thoughts returned to reality.

After understanding Jia Dongxu's true thoughts, he smiled coldly in his heart: This family is really calculating to the extreme.

Even in such a big matter as marriage, she wanted to take advantage of him.

In this case, He Yuzhu decided to give Jia Dongxu a surprise.

He smiled and responded: "Dongxu, you are getting married, congratulations."

"You are the first young person to get married in our courtyard. I will definitely be there as soon as possible to celebrate for you."

After saying this, He Yuzhu left with a smile, and Jia Dongxu also nodded with a smile on his face.

The next morning, after seeing off his sister He Yushui, He Yuzhu went straight to Tianxianglou to find his master Zhao. "Master, do you have a penny?"

He asked seriously, "Just give me a penny."

Master Zhao was stunned when he heard this.

He Yuzhu knew that he was not short of money, and borrowing money was not his habit, so he didn't understand why he was asking this.

Although he was puzzled, Master Zhao still asked with concern. "Zhu Zi, what happened? What do you need money for? Master, I will give you more."

"Master, I'm not short of money. I just need a penny, but for a different purpose."

He Yuzhu mentioned the past, "Have you forgotten what the old man said last year that Jia Dongxu was going to get married? He's going to have his wedding this Friday, and I need to prepare the money for the gift."

This news was like a drop of cold water on his face. Master Zhao's face darkened. He snorted heavily and shook his head. "Why mention them?"

He believed that the old man who had asked him to change houses before might have been secretly pushed by Jia Dongxu.

"Otherwise, if I have nothing to do, wouldn't I have to worry about this matter?"

"How can you possibly have dealings with such a person?"

"You also gave them gift money?"

Faced with such words, He Yuzhu was not angry, but smiled and nodded.

"That's why I want every penny."

When He Yuzhu gave this reason, Master Zhao did not react immediately at first, but after understanding it, he laughed and scolded him and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder.

"You little brat, are you deliberately trying to piss him off to death?"

"Alas, it's a pity that Tianxianglou is so busy at noon, otherwise if you had eaten with them, the scene would definitely be more lively.

But I really can't come up with even a penny.

But don't worry, I'll go to the cooperative after work and exchange it for a dime.

I have to give the gift money to others."

When Master Zhao said this, both the master and the disciple couldn't help but laugh.

He Yuzhu’s idea was very straightforward. Since they were all neighbors, it didn’t make sense not to contribute.

But he didn't want to get too involved with the Jia family, or even with other bastards in the compound.

In this case, I can only give a gift money to Jia Dongxu.

Without this gift money, He Yuzhu would feel like he was losing out.

Time flies, and Jia Dongxu's wedding day arrives in the blink of an eye.

Although only the mother and son were left to support the Jia family, they were taken care of by Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard, and they still asked several neighbors to help with the wedding.

Jia Dongxu waited at the door early in the morning, hoping to receive the gift money as soon as possible.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming out after washing up, Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up and he quickly walked up to him, "Zhuzi, are you going to work?"

Seeing Jia Dongxu's uncontrollable joy but pretending to be nonchalant, He Yuzhu almost laughed out loud: "Dongxu, I'm so sorry, our Tianxianglou is too busy today, I need to leave early.

So I was late to congratulate you on your wedding. I wish you a happy marriage."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu took out a red envelope.

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu felt even happier, because he knew that He Yuzhu was always generous, and the money in the red envelope would definitely not be too little.

He didn't care whether He Yuzhu would attend the wedding or not. The only thing he cared about was the gift money. "Zhuzi, we are neighbors in the same courtyard. It's really polite of you to say that.

I understand that you are busy.

Thank you in advance. "

Jia Dongxu took the red envelope as he spoke, and felt that it was not thick, so he nodded with satisfaction.

It was so thin that it was probably just two ten-dollar bills! His mother was really smart, otherwise where would she find the money?

Just as he was about to leave the yard, he heard a commotion outside the door: "The bride is coming in!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu quickly stepped aside.

Even if the two families were not on good terms, he would definitely not prevent the bride from entering the house. He was just very curious about the appearance of the bride Qin Huairu.

When Qin Huairu actually stepped in, although He Yuzhu had expected that she would be very beautiful, he was still amazed when he saw her in person.

The other men in the surrounding yards, including Xu Damao, opened their eyes even wider and even drooled.

Seeing Xu Damao's appearance, He Yuzhu almost broke down and laughed.

I remember that in a TV show I watched later, it seemed that Xu Damao once bought steamed buns to please Qin Huairu.

Given his personality, would he let himself take such a big advantage?

Although Jia Dongxu was in a good mood now, after all, he had married a beautiful wife, but who could guarantee that he would always be so happy in the long winter nights in the future? When the bride entered the door, He Yuzhu's curiosity was satisfied. He didn't want to waste time and immediately rode his bicycle away.

Even Qin Huairu was full of curiosity, her eyes lingering on the courtyard and looking it over carefully.

Seeing He Yuzhu pushing the cart out, Jia Zhang became even more worried.

Why did he leave so early and not even attend the wedding? Even if he didn't attend the wedding banquet, did he give the gift money? Although I was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, I also understood that the wedding ceremony was more important.

She tried to get his attention back, but in the end she could only watch He Yuzhu leave.

Until the host asked her to sit down, Jia Zhang had no choice but to go forward quickly.

When He Yuzhu sent He Yushui to school, he came to Tianxianglou, and Master Zhao came forward with a smile. "Has the red envelope been sent out?"

He asked with a smile on his face.

"I've sent it out. I think they will be very grateful when they see it later!"

He Yuzhu replied with a smug smile.

Hearing this, Master Zhao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Everything went smoothly at the wedding held in the courtyard.

As soon as the ceremony was over, Jia Zhang approached Jia Dongxu. "Xu'er, I just noticed that Zhuzi left very early. Has his share of money been paid?"

Jia Dongxu listened to his mother's words and handed over the red envelope with a smile. "Yes, he gave it to me, and he even wrapped it carefully! I guess it's probably ten yuan."

They both opened the red envelope, but were so surprised that they were speechless: It was actually... one yuan?

Jia Zhang was instantly furious, her face flushed, her breathing disordered. "Which family of ours does this stupid Zhu look down on? He only gave one dollar as a gift for a wedding? This is unacceptable! I'm going to Tianxianglou to argue with them. I can't let them bully me like this!"

Jia Dongxu tried to comfort her: "Mom, there is no fixed amount for the gift money, and we don't have much contact with the He family. They only give one dollar, and we can't force them."

He tried to stop her from acting impulsively, but Jia Zhang would not listen to his advice.

"Why don't we interact?"

Her voice became increasingly shrill, "He used your diapers when he was a kid!"

Jia Zhang was not intimidated: "Even if there is a quarrel today, I will make him pay me ten dollars! Otherwise, how can we save our dignity!"

This made Jia Dongxu feel even more troubled.

Although he was annoyed that He Yuzhu only gave him one dollar, he was more worried about his wife's happiness.

Today is a big day, so we don't want anything to go wrong. "Stop talking, Mom. Haven't you thought enough? If you go to He Yuzhu to collect the debt, no matter what the result is, we will have lost face.

Huairu got into this embarrassing situation right after she got married. How do you want her to see us?"

"If Hu Guiru really gets angry and runs away, who can help you take care of the child?"

Jia Zhang couldn't help but curl her lips after hearing this.

She feels that things like face are not important. As long as she can make money, a little loss of dignity doesn't matter.

But if his biological daughter-in-law really ran away, the loss would be huge.

Although Jia Zhang was still unhappy, she didn't plan to look for He Yuzhu. "Then there's no need to look for him."

But she said firmly: "This is by no means over.

This arrest was not entirely because of He Yuzhu.

But this time he was so humiliating, I must teach him a lesson!"

Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his mother would not pester him anymore.

He didn't care about what she was thinking now, he just wanted his wedding today to go smoothly.

However, at this moment, his system issued a new task prompt:

"Ding Dong! In order to create a better living environment for the master, the task is issued: purchase a full set of new furniture within two days."

This task came suddenly, leaving He Yuzhu confused, but he smiled after thinking for a moment.

The system's ability to mess things up made him look at it with new eyes.

The previous punishment mission had already been applauded.

This time, asking him to buy new furniture seemed to be nothing wrong at first.

However, he just sent a gift to the Jia family today, so Jia Zhang must be unhappy at the moment.

He Yuzhu watched with inner anticipation, imagining her reaction after she discovered the new mission.

After receiving the task, He Yuzhu was not too worried, because with his current financial resources, buying a whole set of furniture was not a problem.

Even without the task requirement, he was thinking about renewing the furniture. Considering that we will enter the ticket era soon, many consumptions will be difficult to achieve, and large expenses such as replacing new furniture have to be arranged in advance.

After get off work, He Yuzhu walked into the courtyard as usual and immediately noticed the resentful look cast at him by Jia Zhang.

Realizing that she knew about the penny, he left with a smile.

Old man, are you too angry? Don't worry, there will be more surprises tomorrow.

The next morning, after sending He Yushui to school, He Yuzhu went to the furniture market alone.

He toured the dazzling array of goods and left with satisfaction.

Although the furniture styles of this era were simple, the materials were solid and durable and could be used for generations.

Excessive luxury will only lead to doubts and even be labeled as capitalism.

As there were not many choices, He Yuzhu saved himself the trouble and directly purchased one set. He asked the deliveryman to deliver it to the courtyard house, and then he paid and left.

For the furniture store owner, it was unexpected good luck to meet such a generous big customer early in the morning.

Most people in this era live in poverty, and buying new furniture is not a casual act. He Yuzhu's single transaction today is enough to make his sales of several days pale in comparison.

He Yuzhu paid readily, and the store of course did not hesitate and immediately sent someone to load and transport the goods, and waived the delivery and handling fees for free.

When he rode his bicycle back to the courtyard, he found that the people in the courtyard were getting ready to go out to work, so he immediately shouted loudly: "Neighbors, who can help me move the things out of the house?"

"I'll pay you a penny for helping me!"

His words sparked the interest of many people in the courtyard.

Although the dime was insignificant, who wouldn't be happy to get something for free? And more importantly, the He family didn't have much furniture.

Helping with this won't take up too much of their time or interfere with their daily work.

Immediately, someone came over with a smile and expressed willingness to help.

Even my third grandfather Yan Bugui was obviously unwilling to miss this hard-won opportunity. He not only participated in person, but also did not forget to call the older children in the family.

They may not earn a penny, but even if they can get five points it would be good.

While everyone was busy moving things, Jia Zhang was attracted by the noise and came out to watch the fun.

At first she had a doubtful expression, but soon she walked towards He Yuzhu with a look of joy: "Zhuzi, I have long expected that you will not be able to find a place to settle down after seeing Brother Xuer get married and start a family."

She assured He Yuzhu: "Don't worry, you will never lose anything by exchanging properties with us."

Then, he asked in confusion, "Why do you need so many helpers? Just call Xu'er and your sister-in-law over and the three of them can complete it."

As Jia Zhang was speaking, she went back to inform Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu who were still in bed.

He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard this: "Jia Zhang, is there something wrong with your brain? When did I ever say I wanted to exchange houses with you?"

After hearing this, Jia Zhang was also a little confused.

Why was the truth so different from what she imagined? Could it be that she had misunderstood He Yuzhu?

So she tried to explain: "Zhu Zi, are you planning to move out because our house is too small and you want to find some space?"

She felt that the discussion between Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai seemed to have some effect.

It turned out that He Yuzhu was hesitant about whether to exchange wives because he was worried that he would still be single for a long time.

But now that he has seen with his own eyes that Xu'er is married, his decision must have changed.

No wonder they only gave them one dollar as a gift, it turned out they were waiting for this.

He Yuzhu is such a smart guy!

Facing Jia Zhang's beautiful expectations, He Yuzhu was speechless: "Jia Zhang, if you really haven't woken up yet, go back and sleep for a while.

The reason I want to move the furniture is because I want a new layout, after all, I am now starting to think about marriage. "
