Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

"Okay, if you don't want to eat, then don't eat. I'm just worried that you'll be hungry in the middle of the night."

Jia Zhang felt a little disappointed, but she did not refute her son's words. Instead, she glanced at Qin Huairu who was absent-minded beside her, and pretended to mutter unintentionally.

"You've been back to your parents' home for so long, but you didn't even bring back some food. Do you really think you're a queen from the palace and you're coming home to visit your parents? You don't even know your own worth, and you can't tell the difference between a relative and a stranger."

Regarding being Jia Zhang's punching bag, Qin Huairu just listened silently, expressionless: "Mom, if there is nothing else, I will go back to my room to rest. I have been a little irritated these days, and my throat is uncomfortable."

Jia Zhang snorted and looked at her son, wanting Jia Dongxu to discipline his daughter-in-law.

In fact, she was very angry during the day and was finding fault with Qin Huairu in every way.

How could such a rare thing happen?

I went back to the countryside to visit my relatives for two or three days, but I didn't even bring back a few kilograms of corn flour.

She left her family hungry, but when she returned, she was radiant, empty-handed, and her little face was rosy.

He must be stealing good things from her mother's house. If we don't get rid of this evil habit, we'll have to do something about it.

If she can't tell the difference between the big and small Wang, won't Qin Huairu be rebellious at home in the future?

The result disappointed Jia Zhang. Facing his mother's complaints, Jia Dongxu smiled weakly: "The situation is difficult in the countryside. It's normal that they can't help our family. You can't blame Huairu for this."

Seeing that Jia Dongxu, who had always been a mama's boy, actually spoke for her, Qin Huairu looked up in surprise.

Just when I felt a little touched, Jia Dongxu pretended to cough and the time was ripe.

He knelt on the ground with a plop, hugged Jia Zhang's thigh and said with a sad face: "Mom, I am an unfilial son. I put this month's salary in my pocket and thought of going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some delicious food for Qin Huairu to replenish her body. Who would have thought that I would lose it!"

After thinking for a moment, Jia Dongxu burst into tears.

In the end, he didn't dare to tell the truth and told a lie to get away with it.

"What? The money is lost!"

"Oh my God, so much money is lost? Have you reported it to the police? What did the police say? It was lost at the supply and marketing cooperative. Can the supply and marketing cooperative compensate us for the money? Or should we talk to the accountant at the factory and ask him to issue us a replacement?"

Jia Zhang never expected that her eldest son would bring such a big surprise. She felt dizzy and almost fainted.

After he sobered up a little, he kept insisting that he would take Huaihua and his family to the supply and marketing cooperative to make a scene the next day.

Jia Dongxu didn't say anything, just hugged his mother's thighs and cried.

Qin Huairu couldn't stand it any longer. Ever since Jia Dongxu said he wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy her some delicious food to replenish her body, she knew that this useless husband must have gambled away all his money.

However, Qin Huairu knew that even if he was exposed, Jia Dongxu would deny it as long as there was no evidence.

So he didn't cry or make a fuss, and said calmly: "Mom, just lose it. If we really go to the supply and marketing cooperative to make a fuss, we will be the ones who suffer. When Dad left, didn't he leave you some money? Why don't you take it out first to help you out in an emergency, and we will make it up to you when Dongxu's salary is paid next month?"

Jia Dongxu stopped crying and looked at Qin Huairu in panic.

I was afraid that Jia Zhang would really agree.

The little savings his father had left behind were also lost...

"No, the money I left was all spent long ago! Not a cent left!"

When Jia Zhang heard that Qin Huairu had set her sights on her, she hurriedly shook her head to deny it.

He even glared at Qin Huairu in anger and said, "It's all your fault that the money was lost. If Dongxu didn't feel sorry for you and wanted to buy you some supplements from the supply and marketing cooperative, would the money have been lost?"

After saying that, he trembled and touched the tears in Jia Dongxu's eyes: "I have said long ago that you should marry a virtuous wife. Look at the family of Marshal Ma next door. His wife just gave birth to a child, and she eats corn paste and steamed buns every day. Your wife is delicate, right?"

Qin Huairu's ears were almost callused from hearing these derogatory words.

At this time, there was another knock on the door.

Sha Zhu's muffled voice came: "Sister-in-law, is Brother Dongxu asleep? Director Li is having dinner tonight, so I brought some food back from the factory and caught some cicada monkeys. They are good for your health."

When Qin Huairu heard that the person outside the door was the honest man Sha Zhu, she didn't say a word. Jia Dongxu and his mother, who were originally desperate, suddenly became alert.

Qin Huairu hurriedly urged him to open the door. Jia Dongxu even winked and lowered his voice: "Huairu, Shazhu has just been promoted to the squad leader of the kitchen squad. Don't just focus on getting food. Remember to borrow some money from Shazhu."

Qin Huairu had a dark face, not understanding why the mother and daughter trusted her and Shazhu so much.

Aren't you afraid that you'll abandon your family and run away with Sha Zhu?

After opening the door and coming out, Qin Huairu forced a smile at Sha Zhu who was frantically handing her a lunch box and grinning foolishly, "I'm so sorry, Yu Shui hasn't eaten yet, why don't you let Yu Shui come along? It won't hurt to have an extra pair of chopsticks."

"How can that be possible? Wouldn't that just add burden to your family? I can go back and heat up some food for Yu Shui. By the way, is Brother Dong Xu asleep?"

"No, I just came back and lay down not long ago. Why do you want to talk to your brother Dongxu?"

Qin Huairu had a strange expression on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she told Sha Zhu that she was not feeling well and wanted to borrow money from him.

When he heard that he needed to borrow money, Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment.

He looked a little embarrassed, as Jia Dongxu had already borrowed part of his book just after noon yesterday.

The remaining part will be saved to buy He Yushui a little skirt as promised in advance.

Jia Dongxu borrowed the money without telling Qin Huairu, and Sha Zhu didn't want to make it clear.

The couple caught a sheep and pulled it out. Even the cook couldn't handle it...

But health is a big deal. Since Sister Qin was not feeling well, Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and pretended to be a big shot. He took out a big black ten and said with a painful look on his face.

"Sister Qin, take this money and buy more chicken, fish, meat, eggs, etc. If the fish is too fishy to cook, I can make soup for you. Oh, and try this fried cicada monkey. It's delicious. I caught it in the woods all afternoon."

Looking at the jar that was half full of fried cicada monkeys, Qin Huairu picked one up and tasted it.

Although they were all fried in the same pot, Qin Huairu always felt that they were not as delicious as the ones Li Weijun stuffed into her mouth.

After greeting Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu closed the door and went back to the house, just putting the lunch box and cans on the table.

Jia Zhang couldn't wait to open the can, took out a handful of fried cicada monkeys, stopped crying, and smacked her lips: "Hey, I have to say, Sha Zhu's cooking skills are really good. He can make a fried cicada monkey into a flower. Not only is it salty and spicy, but it's also sprinkled with a layer of fine sesame seeds."
