Yi Zhonghai felt like he was about to explode with anger.
As the Moral Celestial, the moral model of Nanluoguxiang.
He couldn't allow himself to have such a stain on his reputation.
“Bu Xiangdong, you scoundrel, is this something to joke about?”
“Hey, hey, Uncle, don’t wrong the good people; it was Second Uncle who said it.”
Bu Xiangdong chuckled lightly.
“Besides, Second Uncle didn’t say what to do, why are you so anxious? Feeling guilty?”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Yi Zhonghai was also extremely dissatisfied with Liu Haizhong.
“Right, right, what kind of looks are you all giving?”
“If you can’t speak properly, then just shut up and say less.”
It was all so ambiguous, and some things were hard to say.
He couldn’t just say that his Uncle had been biased towards the Jia Zhang family all these years, could he?
If he said that, who in this courtyard would listen to him in the future?
This would be a huge blow to his credibility.
“The whole courtyard knows you treat Jia Dongxu well; he’s probably treated better than your own son. Dongxu, what do you say?”
Jia Dongxu felt stifled in this courtyard.
It was like the oppressive weather in June, suffocating and hard to breathe.
“Dongxu, you can’t go out in the cold wind!”
“Mom, don’t you understand? I’m fine; I just need some fresh air to feel better.”
“Isn’t that a good thing? Do you need me to accompany you, or will Qin Huairu go?”
“Mom, do you really not understand, or are you pretending? What’s your relationship with Uncle and Second Uncle?”
“You don’t trust me? Oh my, why are you bringing this up?”
Jia Dongxu shouted, “Look at everyone’s expressions.”
“Dongxu, Dongxu, it’s freezing cold; why are you going out?”
“I’m just going to the bathroom, alright? I think the bathroom is actually cleaner.”
At that moment, another person in the world felt heartbroken.
Because at this moment, Jia Dongxu had developed a habit of calming down in the bathroom.
...................
Jia Zhangshi fell back dramatically.
Then, watching Jia Dongxu leave, she simply lay down.
“Wuwu, Old Jia, I can’t go on living; what sins have I committed? Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, you have to take responsibility for me.”
Oh no!
The onlookers felt like they had eaten too much of this drama today.
Yi Zhonghai felt a headache coming on.
What responsibility are you talking about?
Yi Zhonghai gestured for Auntie to come out and smooth things over.
“Stop it, Jia Zhangshi, what nonsense are you talking? It’s just a few misunderstandings; how did it escalate to this?”
“Right, if you want to blame someone, blame Bu Xiangdong. We were planning to donate to your family today; where’s the malice in that?”
Bu Xiangdong curled his lips.
“I’m not taking the blame for this. It was Second Uncle who said it, and it was Uncle who acted. What does it have to do with me?”
“We were just doing a good deed.”
“Right, right, you all just love to meddle, fetching water for widows when there’s nothing else to do, and donating money to widows when there’s something going on; you’re just fated to be involved with widows in this lifetime.”
Auntie shot a disapproving glance at Yi Zhonghai.
Second Aunt was itching to question Liu Haizhong.
Because what Bu Xiangdong said was indeed true.
They hadn’t thought much about it before.
Now they didn’t dare to think too much.
[Host successfully sowed discord; system rewards!]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Super Disguise Technique!]
[Unlimited materials and resources stored in system space!]
Yi Zhonghai was furious.
He exchanged a glance with Liu Haizhong, trying to figure out a way to drive Bu Xiangdong away.
How many things had happened this month? The whole courtyard was in chaos.
“Everyone, listen up, I and Old Yi are taking care of the Jia family’s orphans and widows out of respect for Old Jia; there’s nothing else going on.”
Yi Zhonghai followed up with a statement.
“Everyone, don’t overthink it, and definitely don’t make any accusations. Bu Xiangdong, you scoundrel, don’t let me hear you spouting nonsense.”
Bu Xiangdong shrugged, “Those who understand, understand; it’s terrifying to think about it deeply.”
Liu Haizhong: “……”
Yi Zhonghai: “……”
Damn it.
This little brat is definitely getting back at us.
.....................
Dinner!
Several families had their mental states collapse, losing the desire to cook.
Bu Xiangdong’s instant noodles, however, filled the entire courtyard with a delicious aroma.
“Scoundrel! Doesn’t he know how to honor his ancestors?”
The deaf old lady in the back yard cursed as she smelled the fragrance.
According to past customs.
When the weekend came, they would always make something nice to feast on.
She, relying on her age, could always get a bite of meat.
But today, those whose mental states had collapsed were just eating melon seeds.
Dinner time was delayed, and everyone was just trying to make do.
The deaf old lady, as usual, wandered around the doors of each house.
Bu Xiangdong squatted at his door, slurping his instant noodles, “Ah, it’s really fragrant!”
Everyone: “……”
Can you please act like a decent person?
The deaf old lady’s old face was almost unable to hold up, hesitating to speak like she was constipated.
Liu Guangtian licked his lips and sniffed, “Dong Ge, what kind of noodles are you eating?”
“Oh, just a simple bowl of braised beef noodles.”
Everyone collapsed in laughter.
Simple? You’re kidding.
Clearly, you’re doing it on purpose to tempt us.
