Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Xu Damao really didn't understand what those people were thinking. This was because Xu Damao had basically not suffered from poverty since he came here.

When he was a bachelor, he had nothing but food and drink. If there is something lacking, you can still ask Lao Xu and the others to solve it.

After marrying Lou Xiao'e, life became even easier.

Xu Damao has never experienced the fear of not having overnight food at home. I have never experienced the despair of having a family member fall ill and not being able to pay a penny in my pocket.

Even Xu Damao has never experienced the embarrassment of calculating rations and having the family eat from the first month to the next.

Therefore, Xu Damao couldn't understand how much peace of mind it would be to know a capable person who could lend him a ration of food or a few dollars when his family was in trouble.

Even if that person is a bad guy, even if that person once thought about destroying his neighbor's family.

But it is impossible to say that those people were not prepared at all. After all, it’s just a matter of taking advantage and not being fooled.

The neighbors in the courtyard knew about this kind of thing, and so did Yi Zhonghai, but it was all a tacit understanding of the relationship.

That is to say, the neighbors in the courtyard clean up Yi Zhonghai's name, and Yi Zhonghai gives some benefits to the neighbors from time to time.

This thing is something that makes everyone happy, except the Jia family who is not happy.

Mrs. Jia Zhang must be unhappy. Those benefits should have been given to her family, but ended up being given to someone else's family.

Jia Zhang also knew that this happened to Qin Huairu, which made her feel panicked.

Seeing that the Yi family and her own family were becoming more and more estranged, Jia Zhang finally couldn't help but ask Qin Huairu.

At this time, Qin Huairu was in front of the sewing machine, mending his work clothes.

Jia Zhang's shoes still have the same soles at the beginning of the year, and they are still there today. Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't mean to be lazy, but she had food and drink every day, and she still had a small amount of twenty private money every month.

It made her really have no motivation to do any more work. Isn’t it good to go out and listen to other people’s gossip? Wouldn’t it be nice to sleep in?

Of course, you still have to show off in front of Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was actually aware of her mother-in-law's pretense, but she had no choice but to expose it.

Qin Huairu couldn't tell clearly when her mother-in-law was real and when she was fake. Sometimes Qin Huairu felt that Jia Zhang was quite terrifying and had no plans left. Sometimes he acts like a fool and comes up with some bad ideas.

Jia Zhang glanced sideways at Qin Huairu, then put down the shoe sole with four or five stitches in it, and said thoughtfully: "Huairu, what do you think of Yi Zhonghai?"

Qin Huairu paused after hearing this, but became busy with the work on her hands again.

In fact, Qin Huairu was really annoyed by this. Wherever he looked, there were many people who wanted to take advantage of her, but no one was willing to marry her. Even Yi Zhonghai came to her with the idea of ​​exchanging millet for feeding chickens.

Qin Huairu bit her lip and said, "What can I do? You don't know what Yi Zhonghai is thinking? He just wants to eat and drink and refuse to admit it. Mom, I don't know what to do now."

Qin Huairu said there was nothing she could do because she was unwilling to take the last step.

This is what worries Qin Huairu. For her, Yi Zhonghai is at most a blood bag, not her lover.

Jia Zhang also wanted to say something with evasive eyes. Qin Huairu knew what she was thinking, which was that she wanted her to go out as a cousin to exchange things for the family.

Qin Huairu continued: "Mom, don't forget, if Banggeng grows up and our family doesn't have a good reputation, he won't be able to get a good wife."

As soon as Qin Huairu said these words, Jia Zhang was immediately shut up.

In fact, when Qin Huairu said this, she suddenly thought of herself.

She thought about the scene when Jia Dongxu was going to the countryside to find a wife, and her eyes turned to the fat Jia Zhang with an incomprehensible look.

Qin Huairu continued in a low voice: "I don't think Yi Zhonghai's matter will last long. If you want to get benefits in exchange for fame, you have to look for someone to find. Just the people in our yard, there is no time to feed them. Now is the time At first, it’s okay to give him a small favor, but as time goes by, those people will directly ask him to borrow money.”

When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this, she looked at her daughter-in-law in a different light.

Little did she know that these things Qin Huairu was thinking about were just what she had just remembered. Qin Huairu just replaced those of her neighbors with her own ideas.

But human nature is actually very different.

Given Qin Huairu's exquisite face and living environment, a mother-in-law who wants her to be sold out, a group of blood-sucking insects at home, and three oil bottles below, she really doesn't necessarily do better than Qin Huairu. Where to go.

Just like Yan Bugui, can anyone in the past raise a family of six with a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, and still get the position of uncle in the yard?

This is not to explain their badness, but everyone's life really has a lot to do with their living environment, and also has a lot to do with the people around them.

Mrs. Jia Zhang smiled brightly and said, "Huai Ru, what do you mean, then Yi Zhonghai has to go back and find you?"

"Mom..." Qin Huairu said in a long voice, "You really want me to go out and ruin Dongxu's reputation, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang waved her hands quickly, and her eyes inevitably glanced in the direction of the portrait of Jia Dongxu. Although she really had this idea in her heart, she definitely couldn't admit this reputation.

Otherwise, what if her son comes to settle a score with her in the future?

Mrs. Jia Zhang sighed: "Aren't these hard times? Look at Banggeng, he hasn't eaten meat for more than half a month. My poor dear grandson, that little face has no meat left."

Qin Huairu glanced at Mrs. Jia Zhang's fat face, curled her lips, and said with complaint: "Mom, please take some money and buy some meat for your sweet grandson. It's not like you don't have money."

Qin Huairu's words were like poking a hornet's nest. Mrs. Jia Zhang immediately jumped up and shouted hoarsely: "I have no money, how can I have money? I still have to save all my money to buy Banggeng a wife. . One generation is in charge of the other, and you can’t eat meat because you are a mother-in-law who is incompetent. Why do you want to involve me? "

Mrs. Jia Zhang still wanted to be shameless and knew not to raise her voice.

Qin Huairu was not afraid of her when she said this, so she sarcastically said: "Mom, the compensation the factory gives to Dongxu is what I send to you every month. Who believes you when you say you have no money?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately retorted: "If you take Dongxu's job, you have to think about supporting your family. Dongxu relied on this job to support his family, and he has never let you four suffer, right?" ? What? Can’t you do it now?

I also thought about the money. That money was Dongxu's life money. I have asked the factory, that is, after Dongxu died, the factory will provide for me and provide for the three children to grow up. none of your business?

Besides, don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. How much did you give your family last month? You have to think clearly, you are the daughter-in-law of my Jia family, and your work station also belongs to my Jia family. You can't use the money earned by my Jia family to support my mother's family. "

The more Jia Zhang talked, the more excited she became, and her saliva almost sprayed on Qin Huairu's face.

Jia Zhang's body is leaning forward, and her bloated body is wearing black clothes, like a blind bear who wants to choose people to eat.

This made Qin Huairu's courage, which he had finally mustered up, weaken again.

In fact, from today's chat, it can also be seen that without mentioning money, this family basically takes Qin Huairu's ideas as the master.

But when it comes to money, especially Jia Dongxu's compensation, Jia Zhang will immediately be angered.

Qin Huairu has tried this kind of temptation many times.

Qin Huairu is not discouraged. The Jia Zhang family is getting older and older. One day, the Jia Zhang family will no longer be able to control the family. At that time, everything in the Jia family will be under her control.

Just like in the beginning, Qin Huairu could only listen to whatever Jia Zhang said.

Now, Qin Huairu can argue with Jia Zhang back and forth several times.

Qin Huairu still sighed secretly at this time, there was still no one behind him! If there was a strong arm behind her to rely on, Qin Huairu could open her mouth and drive Jia Zhang back to the countryside.

Thinking of the possibility that Jia and Zhang were not here, but she, Qin Huairu, wanted to help her stay and stay together, Qin Huairu inevitably tightened her legs.

After all, I have been living for a long time, and I can't even think about those things.

Yi Zhonghai's situation is really similar to what Qin Huairu said. In the beginning, those people who gave him small favors were grateful.

But as time went by, someone had other ideas.

The first person to have that idea was Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui had that idea, but he couldn't be the first to come forward. So he turned his attention to the families in the courtyard who had good relations with the Yi family.

The first person to target was Qin Huairu, but after two days of observation, Yan Bugui found that Qin Huairu seemed to have deliberately kept a distance from Yi Zhonghai recently and was not very close to the Yi family.

So Yan Bugui turned his attention to other companies. As long as he carefully observes this kind of thing, he will always encounter opportunities.

Yan Bugui once overheard a member of Lai Wu's family chatting with a neighbor, saying that her natal brother was getting married but had no money to give her a bride price, so it was her fault.

Lai Wujia said with a grimace: "Why is my life so miserable? When I was a girl at home, my parents looked at me like a starlet and thought I ate too much. It was not easy to get married now. After a few years of stable life, my family was short of money, so I thought of my daughter. How can I have money?"

The neighbor next to him laughed when he heard this and said: "If you can help, just help. If you can't help, there is nothing you can do. Everyone's life is like this. Didn't you discuss it with your family, Lai Wu?"

When Lai Wu's wife heard this, she turned her face away, pointed to the red mark on her cheek and said, "Here, this is the answer my head of the family gave me. He said that when he married me, my parents asked him for five pounds of white flour and some Two oceans. Our family and my mother's family are already settled. He doesn't owe my mother's family any money."

The neighbor next to him looked at the slightly swollen cheeks of Lai Wu's daughter-in-law, and quickly lowered her head to suppress her smile. After a while, she said, "What can I do? This is our fate as women."

Yan Bugui, who was pretending to be sweeping the floor with a broom next to him, rolled his eyes when he heard this, then turned and walked home.
