"The chives weren't very effective at all, so how could they possibly get Dahei to bring Daqing back?"
Chen Xueru didn't believe it.
"I do have a way to verify it."
"Why don't we just harvest some韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting people), and then have Ping An bring Xue Ru and Hui Rong along to verify it?"
Cai Quanwu made a joke.
Pooh!
rogue!
Chen Xueru blushed.
Xu Huirong's face also turned red.
"I do have an idea."
“Hui Rong, you can make chives into one dish, or several dishes, and sell them in your tavern.”
"I can guarantee that the chives I grow will be effective and will not have any side effects, but you can't give them to single people!"
Wan Ping'an made a suggestion.
"That's a good idea!"
"If it really works out, I'll have a special dish in my little wine jar!"
Xu Huirong blushed.
Upon hearing that chives would be used in the cooking, and after hearing Wan Ping'an's guarantee, her expression turned serious. The fate of the tavern was at stake, and she couldn't care less about being shy.
After discussing it with Xu Huirong, we agreed that she could take some chives with her to verify the information.
night.
When Wan Ping'an returned to the courtyard house, he found that the Jia family had set up a mourning tent again.
of course.
This time it was at the Jia family's doorstep.
"Oh dear, this is outrageous! Madam Jia is planning a huge wedding and she's even going to collect money as gifts!"
"I think her only goal is to collect money as gifts!"
"Sigh, we're all from the same compound, so we can't not give anything. We'll just give a dime as a gift!"
"That old man was really inappropriate. Why didn't he stop him?"
Wan Ping'an was stunned for a moment. Was he going to commit a crime against the wind?
The person is gone, so it's okay to commemorate them; it's permitted by the authorities.
but!
Extravagant celebrations are prohibited!
Extravagance and waste are prohibited!
"Mrs. Jia is definitely after the wedding gift money!"
Wan Pingan turned and went out.
They found a little kid on the street, gave him two pieces of candy, and told him to go to the neighborhood office and report the Jia family!
Chapter 95 Fan Jinyou ate leeks and ended up in the hospital.
Less than an hour later.
The neighborhood committee sent someone to verify the situation, and the person they sent turned out to be Fan Jinyou.
He found out as soon as he asked around in his courtyard.
The report is true!
Zhang Qinghua plans to organize a banquet and collect monetary gifts!
How does this work?
He went directly to Yi Zhonghai.
"Yi Zhonghai, do you dare say you don't know?"
Fan Jinyou questioned.
"I, I know!"
Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to admit it.
He and the Jia family both lived in the middle courtyard. Zhang Qinghua was going to hold a grand and ostentatious event, making no attempt to hide it. How could he not know?
Why didn't you try to stop them?
"Even if you can't dissuade them, you can ask the neighborhood office for help."
"Why didn't you try to stop them, or notify the neighborhood committee? What were you thinking?"
"Do you still want to be a grown man?"
Fan Jinyou questioned.
Yi Zhonghai's face turned bright red.
Fan Jinyou was much younger than him, yet he questioned him sternly, making him feel a little embarrassed.
"I'm trying to dissuade them!"
“If Jia Zhangshi doesn’t listen, I’m going to go and talk to her again tonight. If she still doesn’t listen, I’ll report it to the neighborhood committee.”
"I just don't want to cause trouble for the neighborhood committee!"
Yi Zhonghai, of course, would not admit his mistake.
"Humph!"
"I'll give you one more day."
"If you still can't convince her by tomorrow morning, report it to the neighborhood committee."
“If she disobeys, she will be paraded through the streets and sent to a labor camp. Such extravagant celebrations are considered feudal superstitions and constitute a very serious crime!”
Fan Jinyou drew his conclusion.
Yi Zhonghai could only nod.
After Fan Jinyou left, Yi Zhonghai went to see Jia Zhangshi.
As soon as he arrived outside the Jia family's gate, he heard Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu arguing.
"Mom, you only prepared two pounds of cornmeal and one head of cabbage, not even an ounce of meat. Isn't that a bit too stingy?"
Jia Dongxu's voice sounded somewhat dissatisfied.
"What's so shabby about it?"
"Making some corn porridge would be good enough. My original intention was just to prepare some cold water for them, and once the money is left, they should all get out of here!"
Jia Zhangshi reprimanded Jia Dongxu.
Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly.
Why go to such lengths, only to prepare a cabbage and some cornmeal porridge?
As expected of Jia Zhangshi!
Boom boom boom!
Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door.
"Who?"
Jia Zhangshi inquired.
Jia Dongxu opened the door.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Jia Dongxu was a little surprised.
"Jia Zhangshi, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle this."
"Someone from the neighborhood committee just came and said someone reported you. The neighborhood committee advocates thrift and prohibits extravagance and waste, so you can't hold the event!"
Yi Zhonghai said it directly.
"what?"
"How could the neighborhood committee do this?"
"My husband died, is it not allowed for me to hold a memorial service?"
Jia Zhangshi refused to accept it.
How can you receive gift money if you don't hold a celebration?
“Mrs. Jia Zhang, I’m not discussing this with you; I’m just conveying the decision of the subdistrict office.”
