Has he cultivated his mind and character?
Wan Ping'an took out a dollar and handed it to Yan Jiecheng.
"Go and tell everyone in the yard that when you came back just now, you saw Sha Zhu bring back a big pumpkin, and you were very envious!"
"Remember, don't say anything else, just say you saw Sha Zhu bring back a big pumpkin!"
Wan Ping'an smiled.
It's time to punish idiot Zhu.
He didn't want to do it himself; he'd rather let He Daqing do it!
Yan Jiecheng didn't understand what Wan Ping'an was planning, and didn't dare to ask too many questions. Anyway, it was just a matter of saying a few words, so he went to make the announcement.
Less than ten minutes.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that Sha Zhu had brought back a big pumpkin.
"Dad, are we having pumpkin for dinner tonight?"
He Yushui excitedly ran home.
"Do you want to eat pumpkin?"
"No, we didn't buy any pumpkins today."
He Daqing shook his head.
"Dad, didn't my brother bring back any pumpkins?"
"I heard from the people in the yard that my brother brought a big pumpkin. When he comes back later, Dad, can you make me pumpkin rice?"
He Yushui tugged at He Daqing's pants and begged.
"Okay, I'll make you pumpkin rice when your brother comes back."
He Daqing was not surprised.
Sun Tiezhu worked for Wan Ping'an and brought back pumpkins several times.
It's perfectly normal for Sha Zhu to come back from Pumpkin.
Wait!
He Daqing had no idea that Sha Zhu was in trouble.
Rewind to fifteen minutes earlier, Sha Zhu handed the pumpkin to Yi Zhonghai and went to the toilet. Yi Zhonghai went straight back to the courtyard house.
As soon as Sha Zhu came out of the toilet, someone called out to him.
"Shazhu, come here, I need to talk to you about something."
Jia Zhangshi made her hand towards Sha Zhu.
A radiant smile, eyes squeezed into slits.
"Uh, what's up?"
He didn't even want to talk to Jia Zhangshi.
But think about Yi Zhonghai's teachings: respect the elderly. Jia Zhangshi and He Daqing are of the same generation, so he should show Jia Zhangshi some respect.
"Come here and talk to me."
Jia Zhangshi called Sha Zhu to the wall.
"What exactly happened?"
Sha Zhu didn't want to get too close to Jia Zhangshi.
“I saw you brought back a pumpkin and gave it to Yi Zhonghai. I recognize that pumpkin; it must have been grown by Wan Ping’an.”
"Wan Ping'an said that he would not sell the things he grows to our family, to you, or to Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady."
"Does Wan Ping'an know that you gave the pumpkin to Yi Zhonghai?"
"Does your father know?"
Jia Zhangshi was very pleased with herself.
They've got something on Sha Zhu!
Sha Zhu's expression changed. How did Jia Zhangshi see this?
He knew Jia Zhangshi too well. If Jia Zhangshi caught him red-handed, she would definitely blackmail him, and not just once, but many times!
Give me five dollars!
"If you bring me a tomato every day, I'll keep it a secret."
"If you don't give it to me, I'll tell Wan Ping'an first, then I'll tell your dad, He Daqing. Do you think your dad will break your legs?"
Jia Zhangshi was very pleased with herself.
Sha Zhu stared at Jia Zhangshi, his hands clenched tightly.
"You want to hit me?"
"Pooh!"
"Even if I gave you a hundred guts, you still wouldn't dare to hit me!"
Jia Zhangshi looked down on Sha Zhu.
There are only three people in the courtyard who dare to hit her: the first is Wan Ping'an, the second is He Daqing, and the last is the deaf old lady.
I would never dare to hit Sha Zhu.
"Five yuan is too much, I can't afford it. I'll give you one yuan first, and I'll give you the rest within a month."
"I can't bring you tomatoes. Bringing out one portion is fine, but bringing two portions will definitely be discovered. The risk is too great!"
Sha Zhu shook his head.
Suppress your anger.
"No, you have to bring me tomatoes."
"I don't need you to take it every day, but taking it every two days is fine, right?"
Jia Zhangshi bargained.
At last.
The two reached an agreement.
Sha Zhu gave Jia Zhangshi five yuan, to be paid in full within a month.
Every three days, he would bring a tomato back to Jia Zhangshi.
Jia077 Zhang's family won a great victory!
Sha Zhu looked dejected!
He was blackmailed!
"No, this absolutely cannot go on!"
“I have to bring food to the deaf old lady every day, and every day or two I have to bring it to Yushui. Now I have to add Jia Zhangshi to the list.”
"A portion for three people is too easy to be targeted."
"Go find an old man, he'll definitely help me!"
Sha Zhu hurriedly returned to the courtyard house.
He didn't even go home; he went straight to find Yi Zhonghai.
"Grandpa, something's happened! You have to help me!"
As soon as Sha Zhu entered the door, he hurriedly begged.
"Don't rush, come, sit down, have some water, and tell me what's wrong?"
Yi Zhonghai asked Sha Zhu to sit down.
An older woman brought a bowl of water to Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu downed it in one gulp.
“Uncle, when I was giving you the pumpkin, Jia Zhangshi saw me.”
“After you left, she came to me, extorted five yuan from me, and threatened me that I had to bring her a tomato every three days.”
Sha Zhu got angrier and angrier as he talked.
Unfortunately, Jia Zhangshi had the upper hand. If he didn't agree, she would tell Wan Ping'an and He Daqing.
How could Jia Zhangshi do such a thing?
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you."
“Silly Zhu, you know Jia Zhangshi’s temper.”
"If you don't give her any at all, she definitely won't let it go."
"How about this, I'll try my best to get him to agree. You can give him two or three yuan, and bring him a tomato every five days. What do you think?"
