Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 35 I have hungry dreams every day
Red Star Courtyard, Jia Family.

Yi Zhonghai sat at the eight-immortals table, tearing a newspaper in his hand, folding it into small pieces as long as his middle finger, then folding it in half and holding it with his left hand. He took out some tobacco from the tobacco box and put it on the top, then used his fingers to push out a few cigarettes and put them back into the tobacco. Then he rolled the hand-rolled cigarette together, licked the joint with his tongue and closed it, lit it with a match, and started smoking. Immediately, there was smoke and sparks.

Qin Huairu was cooking for the whole family. There was water boiling in the pot and she was making dumplings quickly with nimble hands. As soon as the water boiled, the dumplings could be put into the pot.

"I've asked for leave from the workshop director Lao Sun regarding Dongxu's matter. There's nothing wrong with the factory. No problem. Take care of your health and go back to work. It's okay to be late for a day or two. Take a week off first!" Yi Zhonghai had a cigarette in his mouth and rolled another one in his hand. He handed it to Jia Dongxu who was looking at him eagerly and lit it for him.

"Hey, that's great! I can finally take a break!" Jia Dongxu leaned on the bed in the outer room and took the cigarette and started smoking. He was in a good mood to be able to take a break from his busy schedule.

Qin Huairu sighed, "But I don't have to go to work for a week... If I take a few more days off, the salary I get when I come back will be less. Life is already tight..."

When Jia Dongxu heard this, his expression froze. Before he could open his mouth to refute, he heard his mother Jia Zhang snorted, "What's the matter? My son Dongxu is injured like this, and you still ask him to go to work? Are you mean? Will you not give up until you see him die? Qin Huairu, the fox's tail is finally exposed, right?"

"Mom, what are you talking about!" Qin Huairu stamped her feet immediately, "Did I mean that? Don't you know the situation in our family? If we work one day less, we will lose a lot of money. Huaihua is still young, it's time to spend money! Aren't our family of six all relying on Dongxu to go to work?"

"Oh, I thought you didn't know! Dongxu works so hard to support our whole family, and now he has to go even though he's sick and injured? You're really going to tire my son to death!" Jia Dongxu slammed the table, put down the shoe sole in his hand and stood up.

"Alright, alright, sister-in-law! Huairu!" Yi Zhonghai quickly pulled her back, "Say less! I know what Huairu means, sister-in-law, isn't she also considering the actual situation of your family? Huairu, your mother is also worried that Dongxu is not well and is too tired to go to work! We all mean well, so say less! Well, since you are injured, you don't have many days to rest throughout the year, so take this opportunity to have a good rest! As for the money, I have some friendship with Lao Sun, so I'll see if I can deduct a few days' salary. The factory also said last year that it is studying some regulations on personal leave and sick leave, and the deduction of money is different from normal absenteeism. Besides, even if it doesn't work, I'm still here! We are all family, Dongxu is my apprentice, how can I ignore whether your family can make ends meet?"

"Uncle, thank you!" Qin Huairu was a little moved when she heard this.

Jia Zhang snorted, and with Yi Zhonghai's words as a backup, she did not refute it for the first time.

"Okay, let's eat!" Yi Zhonghai finished smoking and patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder, "You should take good care of your injuries! Take the anti-inflammatory medicine the doctor prescribed, and you'll be fine!"

"Got it, Master!" Jia Dongxu nodded kindly.

"Uncle, please eat here..." Qin Huairu had just said this when she saw Jia Zhang glaring at her fiercely.

"Grandma, grandma..."

Before Yi Zhonghai nodded, he saw Banggeng excitedly opening the door curtain and rushing in, almost bumping into him, "Banggeng, don't run around, be careful not to fall!"

"Hey, Grandpa knows!" Bang Geng laughed and ran to Jia Zhang impatiently, but did not say anything. He just stared at Yi Zhonghai, as if waiting for him to leave.

"..." Yi Zhonghai pulled the corner of his mouth, glanced at Qin Huairu and said, "You guys eat by yourselves, your aunt is almost ready to eat at home, you guys eat, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, he lifted the door curtain and went out.

As soon as he left, Jia Zhang, who was in tune with him, quickly grabbed Bang Geng and asked, "Bang Geng, look how anxious you are. As soon as I saw you like this, I knew something was wrong. What happened?"

"Grandma! I just saw Li Xiangdong carrying half a pound of pork back home, and then he went out again!" Banggeng said excitedly. "Pork? Half a pound?" Jia Zhang was stunned, and then her eyes sparkled, "Did you really see it clearly?"

Jia Dongxu also sat up quickly, "My goodness, half a pound of pork? Damn, this kid is not living a normal life? What kind of life is this, no festival, so extravagant?"

Qin Huairu looked at everyone in the room tiredly and rolled her eyes silently.

"Grandma, Dad, it's true! I saw it clearly. I was outside the yard with my friends competing to see who could pee the farthest, and I saw Li Xiangdong carrying meat back to the yard from a distance. I followed him and saw the third uncle trying to take him home for dinner. When we got back to the middle yard, Xu Damao in the backyard was still waiting at the door of Li Xiangdong's house, and later they all went into his house... I think they all wanted to eat his meat!" Banggeng proudly shared the information with his family.

"Hmph, this cunt-picking guy Yan Laoxi actually wants to take advantage of my body!" Jia Zhang automatically put herself in the shoes of the woman and was very indignant.

"Mom, isn't that Li Xiangdong's meat?" Qin Huairu said speechlessly.

"What's that?" Jia Zhang said angrily, "My son Dongxu was injured and lying in bed. He doesn't want to eat meat to recover? He treated our son yesterday. Shouldn't he be responsible to the end? He needed nutrition at a time when he bought meat. Who else would he buy it for if not for our family? If he doesn't have this responsible attitude, what kind of doctor is he! What's the matter? In the past, veterinarians castrated pigs and donkeys. It was a one-time transaction? He just didn't care about it after it was bullshit?"

"Mom!" Jia Dongxu's face froze, "I'm not kidding!"

"Let me give you an example!" Jia Zhang said impatiently.

"Mom, Xiangdong has already treated Dongxu's injury, and we went to the hospital to get medicine. Isn't it over? Why do I still have to be responsible? What should I be responsible for?" Qin Huairu was speechless. She really couldn't praise Jia Zhang's bandit logic.

How could a person be so shameless? It was really Xiaodao who opened her eyes.

"Qin Huairu, whose wife are you? What's the matter? Do you feel bad when he brings the pork? You are so ungrateful, aren't you? Don't you even look at your own children? I advise you to give up this idea! He brought the pork, but our family won't eat meat together! Go and talk to him quickly, and don't make dumplings anymore. We'll eat meat tonight!" Jia Zhang said domineeringly.

"Mom, you go if you want to go. I'm not that... courageous!"

Qin Huairu originally wanted to say "shameless", but she was afraid that she would be beaten up as soon as she uttered these words, so she changed her words.

"Okay, you don't want to go, right? Then get out of here! We don't want a daughter-in-law like you who is interested in other people's affairs!" Jia Zhang said indignantly, with anger on her face.

"..." Qin Huairu looked in astonishment at this mother-in-law who wanted to get something for free. She wiped her tears in extreme disappointment and looked to Jia Dongxu for help, but was met with the same contempt. She threw her chopsticks into the bowl of dumpling stuffing, covered her face and ran out.

"Humph, who are you pretending for? Dongxu, ignore her!" Jia Zhang slammed the table and turned to look at Banggeng, "Sun thief, do you want to eat meat?"

"Think about it, I have hungry dreams every day!" The young Banggeng stared at his grandmother eagerly, longing to be taught the martial arts secrets of the Thief Saint.

"Then come here and I'll tell you..." Jia Zhang smiled mysteriously, like an otherworldly sage.
