Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Although the place was a little dim and almost invisible without candles, it did not stop Qin Jingru's desire to pursue beauty. She knew that her figure and skills were not as good as her cousin Qin Huairu, so she began to look for other ways to make up for it. Qin Huairu, who was sitting next to her, watched Qin Jingru's actions, understood her intentions, and couldn't help feeling a little jealous. She envied Qin Jingru's good figure and her youthful beauty. Qin Huairu was already many years older than Li Weidong, and men tend to like new things and dislike old things. Who knows if he will get tired of herself one day? She realized that maybe she needed to learn some new skills in case it was not so easy to get benefits from Li Weidong after he left.

Just as Qin Huairu was lost in thought, Banggeng came over and tugged at her sleeve, shouting in a childish voice: "Mom, I need money to pay for tuition!" Qin Huairu came to her senses when she heard the word "money", and looked at Banggeng with a frown: "I have to pay tuition again?" Banggeng pouted and answered coquettishly: "A new semester has begun, so of course I have to pay tuition!" Since practicing the Sunflower Manual, Banggeng has become more and more feminine. Recently, he has fallen in love with skipping rope. He has a lot of fun playing with his two sisters every day, which makes Qin Huairu feel anxious.

But she can't do anything about it, because Geng Geng no longer needs to rely on her... (The original information here seems to be incomplete and the specific content cannot be determined, so the translation is not continued)

Since Li Weidong appeared, Qin Huairu's life has become more and more affluent, but she does not intend to continue to pamper Geng Geng. If he is not allowed to learn to be self-reliant now, it may cause more trouble in the future.

"I don't have money now. If you have time, do some work packing matchbox paste, and then you will have money for your tuition." Qin Huairu said to Genggeng.

Hearing this, Geng Geng immediately felt dissatisfied. "I won't do it. Why should I do such a boring job?"

Qin Huairu widened her eyes and asked, "Why not? I don't make much money at the factory recently, and I can barely make ends meet. What's wrong with asking you to help with the household expenses?"

Geng Geng glared at Qin Huairu and retorted: "You are my mother, giving me money is what you should do! If you don't give me money, I won't go to school!"

Qin Huairu once again felt the consequences of being spoiled. If it were Liu Haizhong or Yan Bugui's children, would they talk back to their parents like this?

She raised her hand to hit him, but finally held back. Then, she dragged Geng Geng out of the room together. Although he struggled hard, how could he match Qin Huairu's strength? Finally, she dragged him to Xu Damao's original room, threw him in roughly, and locked the door.

"Geng Geng, listen carefully. You can have dinner only when you have finished pasting the matchbox. Otherwise, just stay inside! Don't try to destroy things in the room. If I find out, you'll have to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots!" Qin Huairu warned.

Geng Geng, who was making a noise in the room, heard this and realized that his mother was serious, so he stopped making noise.

Jia Zhang had just returned from the bathroom. Seeing this, she was about to blame Qin Huairu, but she was swept by her cold eyes, as if she was splashed with cold water, and immediately calmed down. She muttered in a low voice: "You locked the door, what should I do?"

Qin Huairu said coldly: "Then tell that grandson clearly and let him complete the task, otherwise you won't have to eat tonight!"

Jia Zhang instinctively acted like a spoiled child and cried, "Why is my life so miserable? My husband passed away so early, and now I have to send him off, and..."

Before she could finish, Qin Huairu turned around and left. Jia Zhang no longer responded to her tricks. Everyone in the courtyard knew her character. Even if Jia Zhang cried until her eyes were blind, no one would pay attention to her.

Jia Zhang watched Qin Huairu leave and realized that her plan had failed, so she stopped crying immediately. She quickly stood up and shouted to the room, "Geng Geng, hurry up and finish making the matchboxes, otherwise I will not only have no food tonight, but also have to spend the night outside."

At this time, Geng Geng had just sat down at the table and was about to start making matchboxes. But when he heard what Jia Zhang said, he suddenly lost motivation. Anyway, he had already eaten secretly at Yi Zhonghai's house in the afternoon, so he was not hungry now.

He was very dissatisfied with Jia Zhang. If she had not misappropriated the donation, their family would not have had such a hard time. Just let her go hungry for a meal. She wouldn't starve to death if she didn't eat.

Jia Zhang, who was standing outside the door, didn't know what her grandson was thinking, and was still patiently advising him. However, when she was almost done talking, she still didn't get a response from Geng Geng, and she became anxious and couldn't help but start scolding him.

"Geng Geng, you little brat, can't you care about me? I used to treat you so well, I even picked out all the delicious and fun things for you first..."

Zhang Jia's reproach made Geng Geng have a negative attitude towards dealing with the problem. Screw you old woman, you might as well starve to death!

Not far away, Huaihua and Xiaodang saw Zhang Jia scolding angrily. Zhang Jia's shouting broke the tranquility of the courtyard. When the neighbors heard her voice, they shook their heads and closed the doors, not wanting to cause trouble.

"We can't afford to offend that old man!"

The Zhang family's child poked his head out, took a quick look, and then shrank back. Huaihua said to Xiaodang childishly, "Sister, grandma is scolding brother again!"

Xiao Dang frowned and said, "Don't call her grandma! She doesn't deserve to be our grandma! Mom said that if she hadn't always taken the money from the family, we wouldn't have to eat porridge all day long. Look how long we haven't eaten white flour buns."

Although Huaihua was young, she knew that it was Zhang Jia's fault. When she heard that this "grandmother" had caused their whole family to suffer, she was filled with anger.

"Yes, she is a bad person! Sister, are we just going to watch her make trouble?"

Xiaodang rolled his eyes and whispered to Huaihua, "Do you want to eat meat?"

Huaihua nodded desperately: "Of course!"

"Then I'll go and lure her away. You go knock on the door and ask my brother to bring the old lady's cotton-padded jacket over. After you get it, you go to the backyard and wait for me."

"Okay!" Huaihua agreed without hesitation. For a child of her age, nothing was more attractive than eating meat.

In the past, under the instigation of Zhang Jia, they often stole things from He Yuzhu's house. Now, they are back to their old ways.

Xiaodang walked aside, picked up a stone, and threw it at Zhang Jiashi. Her technique was precise, and the stone hit Zhang Jiashi with a "bang", and the latter's head was immediately broken and bleeding. Zhang Jiashi looked back and saw that it was Xiaodang, and she was furious.

"You damned girl, you're a money-loser. You even dare to hit an old woman like me. I'll skin you alive!"

Xiao Dang screamed and ran away, shouting, "Oh no! The old witch is going to eat people!"

Zhang Jia became even more angry, and while chasing Xiao Dang, she looked for weapons everywhere, chasing him aggressively. The grandfather and grandson chased each other and soon disappeared in the courtyard.

At this time, Huaihua slipped out quietly like a little fox and ran quickly towards Xu Damao's room.

Huaihua walked to the window and knocked hard, shouting, "Brother, open the window, hurry up!"

Zhan Ji, who was in the house, heard his sister's cry and immediately ran over to open the window.

"what's wrong?"

"Brother, quickly bring me that old woman's cotton-padded jacket. I want to sell it to buy some meat!"

Zhan Ji was stunned and a little hesitant, after all, it was his grandmother's thing.

But when he thought of Zhang Jia's cursing outside, he immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll get it!"

After saying that, Zhan Ji immediately turned around and walked towards where Zhang Jia's clothes were stored.

After a while, he came back with a few cotton jackets.

Huaihua took the cotton jacket and the rancid smell almost made her sick. Zhang Jiashi was usually unkempt, and as she got older, she had the unpleasant body odor that is unique to old age. The smell of these clothes was like they had just been pulled out of a trash can.

If it wasn't for the money to buy meat, Huaihua would have thrown them away long ago. Now he could only endure the stench and trot all the way to the cellar in the backyard.

As soon as Huaihua left, Zhan Ji immediately closed the door and lay back on the kang as if nothing had happened. Today, he was going to let Zhang Jiashi taste the pain of loss.

At the same time, Xiaodang led Zhang Jia back home and hid behind Qin Huairu. At first, Qin Huairu didn't understand what was going on, until she saw Zhang Jia came in covered in blood and cursing, she was shocked.

Originally, she was going to look through the medicine box to see if there was any hemostatic medicine inside. But after hearing Zhang Jia's harsh words and trying to pull Xiao Dang away, Qin Huairu gave up the idea and started arguing with Zhang Jia. Xiao Dang took the opportunity to slip away.

Qin Huairu and Zhang Jia's attention was focused on each other, and neither of them noticed that Xiaodang had quietly left.

After arguing for a while, Qin Huairu finally prevailed. After all, she controlled the family's financial resources, and whether to put a few more grains of rice in the porridge tomorrow depended on her mood. Zhang Jia had been hungry for a few days, and her face was ashen. She could only complain a few words, and did not dare to really anger Qin Huairu.

In the backyard, Li Weidong was about to ride his bicycle out to buy soy sauce. He opened the door and looked up to see Xiaodang and Huaihua sneaking around. He frowned unconsciously.

He glanced at the clothes in their hands. Judging from the style, they looked very similar to what Zhang Jia often wore. He vaguely guessed their intentions and couldn't help but smile. Although he didn't like Qin Huairu's two daughters doing such sneaky things, he decided to sit back and do nothing when he thought about the blow their actions could bring to Zhang Jia.

When they meet Qin Huairu, they can just say a few words to ask them to discipline their daughters. Xiaodang and Huaihua have not yet realized that their secret has been exposed.

The two were very happy, holding Zhang Jia's clothes, and left the yard happily. They were very familiar with this place, because Zhan Ji often dealt with stolen things here before, and they had followed him many times. Even the boss here knew them.
