Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

"Well, Yingying, we are sisters who know each other well. I can't hide some things from you, but the times are tough now, and it's hard to have enough food to eat. If you're picky, I'm afraid we won't be able to serve you well."

Qin Huairu frowned. You know, normally she only ate steamed corn bread, corn porridge, dried sweet potatoes and the like for three meals a day. Only when she was in a good mood occasionally, she would generously have a poached egg.

As for the rest of the Jia family, except for Sophora japonica who can occasionally get some benefit, the rest can basically only smell the fragrance. Under such conditions, Jiang Yingying is still picky. It can only be said that this little country girl has been spoiled in the Canning Village in recent times.

According to Song Gongming, due to the presence of Li Weijun during this period, Ma Xuewu, in order to please Li Weijun's mistress, basically had to offer Jiang Yingying as a sacrifice. Not only did she have to have enough food and drink, but the most important thing was that she had to eat and drink well.

For three meals a day, she had to have some meat either at noon or at night. It was like a fairy's life surrounded by honey. No wonder Jiang Yingying couldn't wait to go into the city to find out more about the situation after Ma Xuewu stopped this treatment.

Even Qin Huairu was envious of such comfortable treatment.

Seeing Qin Huairu's unhappy expression, Jiang Yingying immediately realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly said, "Sister Huairu, you are being estranged. We sisters don't care about this. It's not easy to have a bite to eat. I'm easy to feed and I'm not picky. I think this steamed bun is also very fragrant. By the way, Sister Huairu, can you help me pour some hot water in the thermos? It's been so hot during the day that my throat is almost smoking with thirst."

"That's right. It's good enough to have simple food to eat. You don't know. I heard from people who came back from business trips that in some places people have already eaten Guanyin soil, tree bark, and grass roots. Although we are not suffering from such a famine in the capital, every household is not rich. Do you really think that every household is Li Weijun's family, eating and drinking like gods?"

Qin Huairu then let Jiang Yingying go with satisfaction, and sighed as she poured hot water.

Life has been really unbearable lately. Originally, I had no worries about competing for favor with Jiang Yingying. After all, we were sisters, caring for each other and having a strong sense of sharing.

In addition, Li Weijun was in good physical condition and could handle it easily, even with ease.

But now there is Ji Xiaotao. This Ji Xiaotao is a flamboyant little elf. She is different from the widow. Not to mention her youth and beauty, she doesn't look like the kind of person who is easy to get along with.

In the future, if Li Weijun becomes addicted to Ji Xiaotao's gentle lies and never wants to leave, what should she and Jiang Yingying's widow alliance do?

Isn't this just a joke? Qin Huairu felt overwhelmed when she thought about this worrying thing.

Jiang Yingying seemed indifferent to Qin Huairu's worries. She ate her food in big mouthfuls and muttered nonchalantly, "Oh, don't say such discouraging words. It's just a little demon. Li Weijun probably just wants to try something new. When the novelty wears off, he'll do whatever he wants. I think there's no need to sigh and groan. It'll only make you sick, and it'll cost a lot of money to treat the disease."

Did Li Weijun only want to have a new look for Ji Xiaotao? Qin Huairu had some idea in her mind. She was at least a woman who had seen a lot and knew clearly what kind of women were popular and what kind of women were just for temporary needs.

As the saying goes, people go to high places and water flows to low places. For a girl like Ji Xiaotao who is young and beautiful, and also comes from a wealthy family, no matter how optimistic Qin Huairu is, she dare not expect Li Weijun to give up Ji Xiaotao's wealthy family for her.

"I think this matter is uncertain. It's hard to say..."

Qin Huairu rubbed her sore feet while looking at Jia Zhang who kept peeking over here. She knew in her heart that her mother-in-law was probably eavesdropping again.

So after making a gesture to Jiang Yingying to keep quiet, she tidied the bed and decided to let her good sister take care of her for the night. As for what to do tomorrow without the letter of introduction, that was not Qin Huairu's concern.

Although Li Weijun is a bit unreliable at ordinary times, he will do what he should do at the critical moment. In addition, having been with Li Weijun day and night for such a long time, Qin Huairu knows that Li Weijun is not the kind of person who is mean and ungrateful and easily bored with the old and loves the new.

Apart from anything else, the fact that Li Weijun would always seek out himself to practice with him whenever he was in the courtyard was enough to show that Li Weijun was still a nostalgic person.

No matter what, Jiang Yingying is still Li Weijun's woman. Without a letter of introduction, she is alone and faces the risk of being expelled at any time. If Li Weijun doesn't worry about her, he can't always worry about Ji Xiaotao.

Obviously, Jiang Yingying also felt that Li Weijun would not stand idly by. After wiping her mouth after eating, she was already happily chatting with Qin Huairu, imagining how she would decorate her own warm little home after moving to the city. Without the interference of her parents-in-law, she would become a city dweller and would feel so comfortable.

Her conditions are indeed much better than Qin Huairu's. Although they are both widows, Jiang Yinyin is four or five years younger after all. She is still young, and she doesn't have many children to encumber her. Whether in terms of figure or the degree of tension, she is not in the same league as Qin Huairu.

Unlike Qin Huairu, who had several children who were a burden and a weakness, and who were basically tied to the Jia family, Jiang Yingying did not have many feelings for her dead husband, and she did not care about the rumors or the scolding from the villagers.

Jiang Yingying would be very satisfied as long as she could move to the capital, have a non-agricultural household registration and eat the food supply. It would be best if she could live in a large courtyard with three entrances and grow some flowers and plants.

As for whether Li Weijun could give her a legitimate status, Jiang Yingying cared less than Qin Huairu.

Although she was somewhat annoyed at Ji Xiaotao's behavior of occupying Li Weijun, and subconsciously instigated Qin Huairu to cause trouble, her real thought was to let Li Weijun understand the delicate situation of herself and others, so that he would feel guilty and make up for herself and Qin Huairu to some extent.

But now seeing that Qin Huairu had known about Ji Xiaotao's existence for a long time and even said that she had no emotional fluctuations about it, Jiang Yingying had no choice but to go to bed early.

The bed in Qin Huairu's house was quite big. After squeezing Banggeng and Xiaodang into the corner, Jiang Yingying and Qin Huairu fell into a deep sleep while chatting while looking at the night outside the window.

She and Qin Huairu slept together for a long time with sincere feelings, but Jia Zhangshi, who was only separated by a curtain, was suffering. She was thirsty and hungry and finally finished her needlework for the night.

I wanted to have a midnight snack to satisfy my craving, but Jiang Yingying ate up all the steamed buns, fish and canned pickles. I wanted to drink some water, but the water in the thermos was drunk by Jiang Yingying. The water Qin Huairu had just poured into the thermos was too hot, and it would take a long time for it to be boiled into boiled water.

There was no food to eat and no water to drink. Jia Zhang was just about to take a break because she had to be busy with report card tomorrow, but Qin Huairu and Jiang Yingying started talking and couldn't stop.

Good man, you’re torturing an old lady all over again, right?

Jia Zhang was extremely depressed. She lifted the door curtain and tilted her ear to eavesdrop on the news. It would have been better if she hadn't listened. The more she listened, the more uncomfortable she felt.

There seems to be something wrong here. It seems like Qin Huairu and Jiang Yingying are having an unclear relationship with Li Weijun.

When Jia Zhang thought of this result, she was shocked and surprised, but more curious.

If nothing unexpected happens, every woman would want to tie a man to her belt. Qin Huairu is not someone who can suffer a loss, so why is she so willing to be with Jiang Yingying?

Could it be possible? Li Weijun was a tall and strong man, Qin Huairu couldn't handle it alone, even if she took Jiang Yingying with her, that would be more than enough?

This unrealistic and bold guess made Jia Zhang swallow hard. She was shocked and angry, and felt that Jia Dongxu was not worthy of being wronged. Why did she leave behind such a fickle and unloyal person?
