Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Liu Haizhong was slapped and cursed Jia Pozi. Unexpectedly, Jia Pozi was even more arrogant than him.

"What's wrong with me hitting you? You want to seize my son's pension. My hitting you is not a light punishment. I will fight you." As Mrs. Jia said this, she was about to hit Liu Haizhong with her head.

Qin Huairu, who had already come behind Mrs. Jia, quickly hugged her mother-in-law to prevent the situation from getting worse.

"I am usurping your son's pension? You are the one who killed your son. He ate more than a pig every day, causing Jia Dongxu to be hungry and staggering when he walks. Isn't that..."

"Old Liu!" Liu Haizhong was interrupted by the uncle, "You are the second uncle, you should unite the masses and not rub salt into people's wounds."

"You are talking nonsense! You are killing my son." Mrs. Jia refused to give in. "Old Jia, come and see, this bastard Liu Haizhong is bullying us, an orphan and a widow!" As she said that, she sat on the ground, slapped her thighs, and began to practice soul summoning.

The first uncle was afraid that Liu Haizhong would be provoked by Mrs. Jia and make the wrong move, so he pushed him out of the house. He happened to see the confused Sha Zhu and said, "Zhu, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and take your second uncle back to the backyard and send him back to his home."

Sha Zhu was dazed and sent Liu Haizhong home with the old man. After a long time of counseling, they came to the door of Sha Zhu's house. The old man rubbed his temple and said to Sha Zhu: "Zhuzi, Dongxu is gone. There are old and young people in the family. It's this year again. Dongxu used to bring back some leftovers every day. It's heartbreaking that the two children are not hungry these two days. You are in the cafeteria. Ask your colleagues to leave some leftovers for you to take for a few days. Qin Huairu will take over in two days. She can bring food, and it should be fine."

When Sha Zhu heard Qin Huairu's name, he sobered up a little and nodded seriously, "No problem, I'll ask them to stay a little longer tomorrow. We can't let Sister Qin and the two children go hungry."

The next day, after cooking, Sha Zhu did not rest in the operation room as before, but ran to the window to get food, but each spoonful was not as full as other colleagues. After get off work, Sha Zhu returned home with two full lunch boxes. When he entered the middle courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu standing by the sink washing clothes. The white flowers on Qin Huairu's temples and her fair face set off each other, making her look even more beautiful. Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment.

Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes, felt someone coming over. She looked up and saw Sha Zhu and greeted him warmly: "Sha Zhu, you're back."

Although Sha Zhu was awakened, the light in his eyes could not hide his admiration for the beauty. He patted the lunch box and said, "Sister Qin, I brought food. I'll go to the house and pour out some. You can go back and give the rest to the children."

Qin Huairu quickly wiped her hands on her apron and followed Sha Zhu into the main room in the middle courtyard. Sha Zhu opened the lunch box, poured out a small portion of it, closed the lid and handed the lunch box to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu took the lunch box and kept thanking him. Although Sha Zhu had taken a lunch box to his house to eat before, this time it was Sha Zhu who distributed food to the Jia family at his home.

Sha Zhu didn't care. He was kindhearted to begin with, and being able to help a poor pretty woman like Qin Huairu showed that he had good thoughts and high morals. "You're welcome. Brother Dongxu is gone. I can't bear to see you suffer and the two children starve. Don't worry, eat. I'll take care of them tomorrow. I'll bring you dinner in the future."

After returning home, Qin Huairu heated up the food and the family started to have dinner. Banggeng ate the food with big mouthfuls, and the smacking sound confirmed the deliciousness of the food. Xiaodang also tried hard to put the food into his mouth with the chopsticks he had just learned.

Qin Huairu saw that the children were eating well, and the grief of losing her husband eased a little. In order to let the children eat more, she ate very slowly and took only a small amount of food each time.

Mrs. Jia, who was sitting across the table, was eating while praising, "It's delicious. Shazhu's cooking skills are pretty good. He cooks such ordinary cabbage, but it tastes better than others." She picked up the food and put it into her mouth and chewed it very quickly. After a few bites, she swallowed it down her stomach, which didn't delay her next step of picking up the food and chewing it.

Several people finished their dinner in a flash. Mrs. Jia wiped her mouth with her hand, still feeling a little unsatisfied. Thinking about tomorrow's dinner, she couldn't help but worry, "Qin Huairu, do you think Sha Zhu will bring us food tomorrow?"

"I think so. He just said that he will bring them to us in the future."

Mrs. Jia looked at her beautiful daughter-in-law, then at her grandchildren, frowned, and said nothing.

For several days in a row, Sha Zhu got off work on time, divided the meals in the house, and Qin Huairu came to take the lunch boxes back to the Jia family.

That day, Mrs. Jia had just finished eating and was still savoring the food. Bang Geng picked at the plate and said, "Mom, is there any more? I'm not full yet. It's all grandma's fault for eating too fast and too much."

When Mrs. Jia heard this, she became unhappy. "You little ungrateful bastard, how could grandma have eaten more? I asked you to eat all the good things. It's all because Sha Zhu gave us too little. Qin Huairu, tell Sha Zhu to give us more tomorrow, or you can bring the lunch box directly to our house to share, and then give it to him after you're done."

Qin Huairu felt that it was inappropriate, so she advised her mother-in-law: "Mom, Shazhu only kept a little bit every day. Besides, it was someone else's money that was taken back, so they should have the final say on how to divide it."

"What's wrong with sharing some leftovers with him? His father abandoned him and his siblings. If Dongxu hadn't helped him from time to time, would they be alive today? Qin Huairu is the daughter-in-law of my Jia family and the mother of Banggeng. You have to put my Jia family and Banggeng first."

When Qin Huairu heard her mother-in-law talking about Banggeng, she saw Banggeng and Xiaodang looking at her pitifully. She had no choice but to nod and agree.

The next day, Qin Huairu was still washing clothes by the sink, but her eyes would look outside the yard from time to time.

The workers who were off work came back one after another, but Sha Zhu had not come back. It was not until after seven o'clock in the evening that Sha Zhu hummed a song and entered the middle courtyard.

Qin Huairu hurried over to greet him, "Shazhu, why did you come back so late today?"

"A big leader from out of town came to the factory, and the factory director asked me to prepare a banquet for him. I just finished it and came back. The children must be starving. Wait for me to go back to the house and distribute the dishes. They are all good things." Sha Zhu said as he held up the lunch box to show off.

Qin Huairu took the lunch box and said, "Take it to our room. I'll heat it up directly, so you don't have to turn on the stove. You've been tired all day, so take a rest."

Sha Zhu didn't think much about it, and since he was really tired, he let go and went back to the room to wait for Qin Huairu to bring him food.

Qin Huairu opened the lunch box. Banggeng and Xiaodang looked into the lunch box and clapped their hands excitedly, "Red-braised pork, stewed meatballs, and scrambled eggs with black fungus."

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear us." Bang Geng quickly covered his own and his sister's mouths.

After the dishes were heated up, Qin Huairu was about to put some into the lunch box for Sha Zhu, but Mrs. Jia snatched the dish away and said, "Why are you putting some? This is just a little bit, not enough for the two children. Sha Zhu doesn't need this much food in the cafeteria, so I won't share it with him today."

"This is not good."

"Why, if it weren't for Dongxu he would have starved to death. He should be thanking us for letting us repay the favor by eating some of his food."

Qin Huairu had always been afraid of her fat mother-in-law, and with her two children drooling at the corners of their mouths, she backed off again.
