Siheyuan: Jiehu Lou Xiaoe

Chapter 4 Scolding Qin Huairu

When Su Ci and grandma came to Shazhu's house, Shazhu had already prepared all the meals.

"Come on, old lady, Su Ci, sit down and eat."

Sha Zhu greeted Su Ci and the others to sit down at the dinner table, and said with a wry smile:

"Su Ci, buddy, I've been honored by you tonight, it's rare to have a decent dinner."

"Brother Zhu, you are the chef of the rolling mill, logically speaking, you should have no shortage of food and drink!"

Su Ci asked the question knowingly.

"Oh, forget about it..."

Silly Zhu sighed.

"Every time I bring a lunch box home, Qin Huairu snatches it away before I even enter the house."

"I haven't had a decent dinner in years."

Silly Zhu is not a saint.

He has been sucked by Qin Huairu's family for so many years, it is impossible to say that he has no resentment at all.

It's just that he also has selfish intentions, always wanting to get some benefits from Qin Huairu, but he still can't get past Qin Huairu's widow trick.

For so many years, he didn't take advantage of much, but the dumb suffered a lot.

"Brother Zhu, I don't think Qin Huairu's life is not bad, is it?"

Su Ci said calmly:

"Look at her mother-in-law, she has a fat head, big ears, and a shiny face, probably weighs two hundred catties, right?
I took a rough look just now, and she is the fattest among the elderly in our courtyard. Those who didn’t know thought she was a landlady in the old society. "

"There's also Qin Huairu's son, Bang Geng, who is so strong, with a chubby face and fleshy cheeks, much fatter than the other children in the yard."

"As far as their living conditions are concerned, they are already much better than those in the courtyard, or even the vast majority of ordinary families in the entire capital. There is no need for you to help them every day, right?"

Silly Zhu was stunned, carefully pondering Su Ci's words.

It seems that is the case.

Su Ci continued:

"If Jia's family is really poor and can't afford to eat, it's fine if you donate to his family once or twice.

But they obviously have food to eat, and they snatch your lunch box all day long. This is treating you as a long-term meal ticket! "

Silly Zhu pondered Su Ci's words, bits and pieces of the past few years flashed in his mind.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Su Ci said made sense.

In fact, he himself had vaguely felt it a long time ago, but he just didn't want to face this fact.

It can be said that he and Qin Huairu are completely willing to fight and suffer.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's eat first."

Just as Silly Zhu was about to move his chopsticks, Qin Huairu suddenly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Yo, the old lady and Su Ci are also here!"

Qin Huairu glanced at the food on the table:

"Silly Zhu, you are inviting the old lady and Su Ci to dinner. Why haven't I seen you so generous before? It's chicken and fish. Can the three of you finish eating?"

Silly Zhu was already a little unhappy in his heart. Seeing Qin Huairu like this, he didn't know what she was planning, so he said impatiently:

"Sister Qin, what's the matter with you?"

"Oh... that... I was doing the laundry and wanted to see if you had anything to do."

Qin Huairu was talking, but her eyes were fixed on the food on the table.

"Sizhu, isn't it a bit wasteful for the three of you to eat so many dishes?

It just so happens that the three children in my family are not full, why don't I get some for the children? "

As she said that, she was ready to serve the plate.

If it was before, Sha Zhu would definitely agree.

But today, Shazhu stopped her.

"Qin Huairu, haven't I already given you three lunch boxes?"

Qin Huairu's face turned red:
"Banggen, Xiaodang, and Huaihua are just growing up, and their appetites are getting bigger and bigger every day. It's okay for me to be a mother. I can't just watch my children starve?"

"Besides, the stick was injured again today. Didn't I want him to eat more to replenish his nutrition?"

Su Ci was not in the mood to watch her perform, so he picked up a chicken leg and handed it to the deaf old lady.

"Grandma, eat a chicken drumstick to supplement your nutrition."

"Hey, good grandson, really filial."

The deaf old lady was about to eat the drumstick.

Qin Huairu hastily stopped and said:

"Old lady, you are too old to eat such greasy and meaty food, you should eat more light vegetarian dishes.

Su Ci, you are also young and don't know how to take care of the elderly. How can you feed such greasy food to the elderly? "

As she spoke, she calmly took the chicken leg from the deaf old lady's hand.

Then she picked up the pot of stewed chicken in front of her, and picked up pork and fish into the pot with chopsticks.

Snapped!
Silly Zhu couldn't stand it anymore, he slapped his chopsticks on the table:
"Qin Huairu, are you going too far? Is there anyone like you? We are still eating here, so you packed it?"

Qin Huairu was stunned, she didn't expect Shazhu to lose his temper with her.

He was not like this before!
She quickly understood, and felt that she probably made him lose face in front of Su Ci.

Qin Huairu also felt that she had gone too far.

If it's just Shazhu alone, it doesn't matter how much she goes too far.

But in front of other people, it would be too embarrassing for her to do so.

"Silly Zhu, why are you so angry? Am I afraid that you will waste it?"

Qin Huairu put down the basin embarrassingly again, tried to squeeze out two tears, and said aggrievedly:
"Silly Zhu, I thought you were the kindest person in this courtyard, but I didn't expect that even you have changed, become so indifferent, so unreasonable."

"Isn't it just taking your order, why are you so stingy?"

"Besides, we orphans and widows are so pitiful, why don't you help us? Even if you don't help, you don't have to kill me!"

As he spoke, he wept and wiped away his tears.

Silly Zhu immediately softened his heart, and hurriedly said:

"Well, it's my fault, I'm a bastard, can't I compensate you? My grandma, don't cry!"

Su Ci secretly sighed in his heart, this Qin Huairu is indeed a master, no wonder Silly Zhu was eaten to death by her.

Sha Zhu looked at Su Ci in embarrassment.

He wanted to help Qin Huairu, but these dishes were all bought by Su Ci.

He really couldn't open his mouth.

Su Ci didn't have so many worries, and said bluntly:
"Sister Qin, what you said just now is not right."

"My grandma is too old to eat too greasy food. Can children eat too greasy food?"

"Also, as far as I know, Brother Zhu has helped your family a lot these years. Just because he didn't give you this time, you call him selfish? Isn't that too chilling?"

"It is love to help you, and it is duty not to help. Don't take other people's kindness for granted."

Qin Huairu blushed when she was told, and scratched the ground with her feet in embarrassment.

Silly Zhu was excited.

What Su Ci said was what he thought in his heart, but he couldn't say the words.

Qin Huairu didn't expect Su Ci's words to be so powerful, and was immediately stunned speechless.
