Siheyuan: When I became the control group of Qin Huairu

He Yuzhu and He Yushui, who were having dinner at the time, heard everything clearly in the backyard. However, the He family didn't have a good relationship with the Liu family. Besides, Liu Haizhong and his wife were not good people. They just had to live their own lives behind closed doors.

He Yushui squinted his eyes while chewing the cabbage leaves in his mouth: "Silly brother, the cabbage that Sister Hehua bought for us looks really good. It tastes crispy and a little sweet."

"Hmm..." He Yuzhu, who was eating with his head buried, responded, and suddenly seemed to remember something: "Did you pay for this dish?"

"I gave it to Sister He Hua. Sister He Hua said that it's not the time for cabbage to be sold everywhere, so this cabbage is a bit more expensive. Usually, it's 3 cents per pound, but now it's 5 cents per pound. Our cabbage is big, weighing 7 pounds. I gave Sister He Hua 4 cents. I wanted to say that this was her hard work fee, but Sister He Hua said that it's not easy for us to live together, so she returned 5 cents to me."

"Um……"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu found it difficult to swallow the cabbage in his mouth.

They are both women, why is there such a big difference between them?

Qin Huairu took the opportunity of cleaning his house to take out fifty cents from his pocket and put it directly into her pocket. This sister-in-law Xiao didn't even take advantage of the five cents.

He Yushui seemed not to notice her brother Sha Zhu's strange behavior, and continued, "Sha brother, this cabbage is enough for us to eat for three days. I have told sister He Hua that if we come across any potatoes or sweet potatoes, please bring us back a dozen kilograms. We will cook them and eat them later. We don't need to buy this cabbage for the time being."

In fact, people back then were not like in later generations where people went to the market to buy vegetables every day.

Everyone stocks up on vegetables when they are in season and makes them into pickles.

After the pickles are ready, we eat them with steamed buns or steamed bread for every meal.

Maybe every few days, I would buy some fresh vegetables to improve the meals.

He Yuzhu nodded: "Okay, you are a grown-up girl now, you can make the decision. By the way, Yushui, do you have any money left? If not, remember to tell me."

"Silly brother, you never asked me if I had any money before." He Yushui blinked at him.

He Yuzhu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. He lowered his head and drank a mouthful of cabbage soup. "Yushui, actually... after listening to what you said that day, I thought about it for a long time. I think what you said makes sense. You also know that I am a rough man and have not read many books. There are some things that I really can't see through. If I make a mistake in the future, remember to scold me to wake me up."

"Silly brother..." Tears were already rolling at the corners of He Yushui's eyes.

In fact, He Yushui didn't want to tell her what she said to her brother Shazhu that day. Although she saw some things happening in the hospital, rumors were rarely spread in front of the parties involved.

She, He Yushui, is He Yuzhu's sister. Naturally, those gossiping aunties and young wives would avoid talking about her, the sister of the person involved. If it weren't for Sister Hehua, she might have had to wait until much later to find out.

But even if she knew about this from Sister Hehua, she would not tell her silly brother exactly what it said.

After all, it is easy for a message to lose its original meaning as it is passed on.

He Yushui might as well admit that he heard it himself, so that no misunderstanding would occur.

As for He Yuzhu, what he hated most was seeing women crying. When he saw the tears in his sister's eyes, his heart ached.

If things really developed as in the dream, his sister would have suffered a lot because of some of the things he did, so she would have cooperated with Qin Huairu to cheat him.

There are traces of this development.

He Yuzhu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he just buried his head in eating.

Zhongyuan, Yi Zhonghai's house.

After witnessing the scene of Widow Lotus meeting the man in the hospital, Yi Zhonghai hired a nurse for the hospital's Bang Geng.

After returning to the courtyard, he sat on the edge of the bed, smoking a cigarette after hearing the punishments from the street office and the Red Star Steel Mill.

One after another.

The sparks that ignited from time to time indicated his somewhat complicated emotions.

I didn't expect that even with the old lady's intervention, the consequences would still be so serious.

The entire Yi family was filled with smoke. Liu Cuihua walked over from the smoke and said, "Old Yi, it has already happened. It is useless for you to think about it. We just need to live our own lives. Don't feel too bad about that month's salary."

Yi Zhonghai is a level 6 fitter with a monthly salary of 72.3 yuan. Compared with other people's salaries, this is already a high income for him.

Adding the one hundred yuan paid to Yang Hehua's family, the loss was almost two hundred yuan in less than two days.

Oh, that doesn’t include the cost of Bang Geng’s hospitalization.

Hearing his wife's words, Yi Zhonghai shook his head.

He didn't feel bad about the money. After all, he had worked for so many years and had saved a lot of money. The two hundred yuan was just a drop in the bucket for him.

He was thinking about Bang Geng's broken leg. Jia Zhang was sentenced to almost three years, Qin Huairu to three months, and when Jia Dongxu came out to work, Bang Geng would still have to be taken care of.

There are only Jia Dongxu and Banggeng left in the Jia family now, and they don’t even have a woman. How can they live like this?

And if Jia Dongxu were to hire someone to take care of him, he would have to pay for it.

If I let my spouse take care of me, I can save money, but my spouse is in poor health and I have to take care of my old lady, so I won't be able to handle it all.

After thinking about it, Yi Zhonghai realized that their family had to continue to support the Jia family with money so that the Jia family could survive.

Jia Dongxu used to be a second-level fitter with a monthly salary of 38.6 yuan, and life was hard enough. Now he has been demoted to an apprentice and only earns 18 yuan a month. How can he make ends meet?

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai realized that the Jia family was a bottomless pit that could not be filled.

When Yi Zhonghai told Liu Cuihua about this problem, Liu Cuihua immediately expressed her opinion: "Old Yi, I mentioned this to you before, Zhuzi is actually a good kid.

They don't have any burdens, and He Yushui is already grown up. She will get married in a few years. By then, Zhuzi will be left alone. If you find him an obedient wife, won't our retirement problem be solved?"

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a while and said, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Sha Zhu is a very good candidate for retirement backup, but Jia Dongxu doesn't want to give up.

After all, he has devoted so many years, and he really can't bear to give up all of a sudden.

Seeing that she could not persuade him, Liu Cuihua said nothing more.

Yi Zhonghai has always been the head of this family, and she is responsible for cleaning and housework.

However, in Liu Cuihua's heart, she still looked down on the Jia family.

Jia Dongxu is an okay person, but he has a mother named Jia Zhang.

Therefore, it is not certain whether Jia Dongxu will be able to provide for them in their old age.
