Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

As Qin Huairu entered the house with her lunch box, Jia Po's scolding came from the inner room: "Oh, you are willing to come back? You don't care about the life and death of your family? Your daughter is almost starving to death."

Xiaodang led Huaihua, who had just learned to walk, and hugged Qin Huairu, saying aggrievedly: "Mom, we are hungry, and grandma didn't cook for us."

"You're a money-loser. You only know how to eat all day long. You'll die if you skip a meal." Mrs. Jia came out cursing. Seeing the lunch box in Qin Huairu's hand, she said, "Are the leftovers from the factory again? No, this smells like meat, like meat buns." Mrs. Jia smelled the fragrance with her nose raised, and her eyes lit up. She reached out and snatched the cloth bag from Qin Huairu's hand, "Buns, braised beef in soy sauce, braised pork, have you made a fortune? Or robbed someone?" Mrs. Jia pinched a piece of delicious braised pork with her left hand and put it in her mouth. She took the bun in her right hand and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed it with big mouthfuls and suddenly remembered something. She swallowed the food in her mouth in a hurry and asked coldly, "Have you found someone again?"

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Mom, we have discussed this before, and I have also had the IUD inserted, so what are you still worried about?"

"Didn't you say before that you would let Yi Zhonghai help you upgrade? Why has it changed again?" For the sake of her dead son, Mrs. Jia wanted to maintain her daughter-in-law's chastity as much as possible.

"How can it not change? Banggeng paid 300 yuan to others for the last incident, and you won't give me the money. I can only borrow from the factory and am required to pay it back in three years, otherwise I will be laid off. There are so many people in our family, and you still need to take medicine. I basically spend as much as I earn and can't save a penny. I have to think of other ways." Qin Huairu replied to her mother-in-law with a little dissatisfaction.

When Mrs. Jia heard this, she immediately got angry and said, "What do you mean I should give it to you? I don't have the money, 300 yuan. You want me to sell my blood? You are so cruel. If you want me to die, just say so. Don't beat around the bush, as if I own all the money and spend it all. Don't you think about how you, a country girl, can marry into the city and live in such a spacious tile-roofed house? Shouldn't you respect me?"

Qin Huairu was aroused by Zhao Meng's teasing today. She felt guilty and didn't want to argue with her. She gave in and said, "Okay, okay, I'm wrong, okay? I'm incompetent. I took advantage of your Jia family, so I have to serve you well." As she spoke, she took out bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard and handed them to her daughters who had already stared at her. Seeing the two of them eating anxiously with one hand picking up the dishes and the other holding the buns, she gently instructed, "Eat slowly, no one is snatching it from you."

Xiao Dang nodded and stuffed the meat into his mouth without stopping. Huaihua looked up and saw the chopsticks in Jia Po's hand quickly moving between the lunch box and her mouth. If it weren't for the fact that the beef was a little hard to chew, Huaihua would probably have seen the shadow of the chopsticks. Seeing this, Qin Huairu touched Huaihua's head and said, "Eat quickly, don't look at me."

A plate of braised pork and half a pound of braised beef in soy sauce was devoured by the old man and two children. There was only one left out of ten. Jia Pozi ate four, Xiao Dang ate three, and Qin Huairu didn't watch over the one-year-old Huaihua and let her eat two buns. She was so full that she rolled her eyes. Qin Huairu was so scared that she kept rubbing her belly for more than an hour. Xiao Dang rubbed his bulging belly and then remembered whether his mother had eaten or not. He said, "Mom, are you hungry?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said to Xiaodang: "Xiaodang is really good, just eat enough, mom is not hungry."

Mrs. Jia was lying on the kang, rubbing her belly as well, and said, "I don't care what you do, but you can't leave this family in the future. If you want to leave, you must leave your job behind, because it belongs to our Jia family. I want to leave it to my grandson Banggeng. Also, if you want to leave, you must take these two money-losing goods with you. We in the Jia family don't support idlers."

"Mom, don't worry, I won't leave home. I will stay with you and this family for the rest of my life." Qin Huairu raised her right hand, "I swear to heaven that if I want to leave the Jia family, I will die childless and without a place to be buried."

"Okay, remember what you said today, and don't blame the heaven and the earth when you take the oath." After hearing Qin Huairu's oath, Mrs. Jia didn't want to continue to pester her.

From then on, Qin Huairu would go out for half a day every weekend saying she was going shopping, but Zhao Meng would buy the things and she would bring them home after the tryst. The Jia family's life got better again for no apparent reason, and the neighbors were all surprised. When they asked Mrs. Jia about it, she would always tell them off. Everyone could only talk about it behind their backs. Although they all knew that the things in the Jia family might not have come from legitimate sources, they had no evidence, and after talking about it for a while, everyone got used to it. Let's just let each family take care of their own lives.

The neighbors don't care, but Yu Li can't. The nature of her work requires her to know more about the living conditions and dynamics of the people. Qin Huairu's abnormally good life is very suspicious. Whether it is a male-female problem or other problems, it is within the jurisdiction of Yu Li's work. If something goes wrong in the future, she will have an unshirkable responsibility.

Yu Li asked Sha Zhu, who had just returned home from cooking, "I heard that the Jia family's life has been almost as good as ours lately. Is everything okay?"

Sha Zhu wiped his face and said, "What's the problem? Could it be that Qin Huairu has become a spy? She can't even recognize many words. Isn't it just that she found a rich backer?"

"Then she has a problem with her work style. This matter can be considered a big deal or a small matter."

"Although she has cheated me before, we live in the same courtyard, so you'd better not break the window paper. There's no need to make trouble for ourselves. That old lady Jia has no way to survive. She will come to our house and cry, make a fuss, and even commit suicide. It's okay before June 1st, but now we have to think more about the children." Sha Zhu advised Yu Li to give up the idea of ​​caring about Qin Huairu.

"I can choose not to investigate her, but if someone reports it to me, I can't just ignore it."

"Of course, you have to do your job after all, and people will gossip about you. If you take the initiative to investigate, people might say you are seeking personal revenge." Sha Zhu hugged Yu Li, "The flesh on your waist is so soft."

"Why do you think I'm fat? Just bring back less food and let me starve and lose weight." Yu Li pinched Sha Zhu's arm, "I got fat just to continue the family line and breastfeed your child. Just think about how good my figure was before."

Sha Zhu quickly tried to make amends, saying, "How dare I complain about yours? I mean it's so soft and feels good to the touch. You should keep it that way in the future."

"You're quick to react. I'll let you go this time. But if you dare to complain that I'm fat again, you can sleep with your son." Yu Li rolled her eyes at Sha Zhu.

"Thank you, my lady, please forgive me. I will give you a massage to apologize, and I hope you won't bear it in mind." Sha Zhu pushed Yu Li down on the bed and began to apologize step by step from head to shoulders to waist.
