Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chapter 50: The Jia Family is Out of Food

The little girl had limited physical strength and was exhausted after waving for a while.

At this moment, He Yushui was squatting at the door crying with a broom in her hand.

He Daqing is a little depressed now. There are more and more people coming. Many residents who had turned off the lights have turned them on again and come out wearing clothes to watch the fun.

Looking at the crowd of onlookers, it seems that there are a lot more people in the courtyard now than in the past.

Many of them were familiar to him, all of them were old residents of the courtyard, but more of them were strangers, obviously new residents who moved in after he left.

Being treated like a monkey is obviously not a good thing, so He Daqing still wants to deal with He Yushui as soon as possible.

Carefully walk to the rain and squat down.

"Yushui, I'll come back to deal with the pillars..."

He Yushui completely ignored him and continued crying loudly, but she didn't drive him away again.

This seemed like a good sign to He Daqing.

The uncles nearby didn't know what to say. He Daqing was indeed a bit rude. He Yushui ran away with a widow when she was only six years old. How could the little girl accept this?

But right now, Sha Zhu’s matter is more important. As for the conflict between father and daughter, we can deal with it later.

The three uncles didn't mind spending some time to comfort her.

The deaf old lady also walked slowly to the central courtyard. When she saw He Daqing, her face lit up with joy. She didn't expect He Daqing to come back so soon.

Baoding is more than 300 miles away from Sijiucheng, but He Daqing rushed back in two days. Obviously, he could not be completely indifferent to his own son.

Looking at the rain blocking the door, the deaf old lady frowned slightly, feeling that this girl was not sensible at all.

Now Shazhu is still detained in the police station, so he has no time to show his temper.

But He Daqing didn't say anything, and she didn't want to say much either. Besides, there were so many people watching, so she had to maintain her amiable personality as the ancestor of the courtyard.

The deaf old man walked slowly to the father and daughter squatting there with a kind face.

"Yushui, your brother is still in the police station. It won't be too late to talk to him after his problem is resolved..."

He Yushui remembered her brother's matter. Just now, she saw He Daqing was too excited, so she instinctively picked up the broom to chase him away. Now she has come to her senses, but the little girl is too embarrassed to do it, and she doesn't know what to do except squatting there and crying.

In the end, it was an old lady who came forward and pulled Yu Shui back to her hut.

He Daqing looked at his daughter who left with the aunt and sighed. He thought that Sha Zhu and Yu Shui had resentment towards her, but he didn't expect the resentment to be so great.

Yi Zhonghai next to him was a little nervous. He was most afraid that He Daqing would mention the issue of living expenses. Fortunately, He Daqing was more concerned about Sha Zhu's matter now. So, the few people who were in the backyard just now went to He's house to continue discussing.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, the two bystanders, looked at each other helplessly and followed him in resignedly. After all, they were the managers of the courtyard...

Yi Zhonghai was the last one to enter. He turned around and looked at the crowd watching.

"Okay, it's just a small matter, let's go, we still have to go to work tomorrow."

The old man's words were still effective. The crowd gradually dispersed, and only Jia Dongxu was still getting close to Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, look, tonight..."

Yi Zhonghai had a dark face as he looked at his disciple who was grinning foolishly in front of him. For the first time, he wondered why he had fallen for such a thing.

He naturally understood what Jia Dongxu meant. He failed to get food at the black market last time, so he naturally wanted to go again.

"Let's talk about it in two days. The pillar issue is more urgent right now."

Yi Zhonghai replied, turned around and left without paying any attention to Jia Dongxu.

It's not that Yi Zhonghai really cares about Sha Zhu's matter, but he was chased like a dog last time he went to the black market, and now he is still scared, so he should wait a few days before making any decisions...

Jia Dongxu felt helpless when he saw his master entering Sha Zhu's house. His master was unwilling to go, and he had no choice but to return to the Jia family in disappointment.

Jia Zhang, who had just returned from watching the excitement, looked at her son who had returned.

"Be careful at night. We don't have much money at home. If we lose it again, our Jia family will be in trouble."

Jia Zhang felt bad about the money Jia Dongxu lost last time. It was more than a hundred yuan, but he didn't bring back a single cent.

When she thought of this, Jia Zhang felt a pain in her chest.

In fact, the Jia family is not really without money. Maybe Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu don’t have much, but her family, Jia Zhang, has quite a bit of private money.

When Lao Jia was still alive, she was the one who kept the money and had some savings. Later, when Lao Jia passed away, the subsidies and pensions from the factory were also firmly in her hands.

Later, after Jia Dongxu took over the job, she no longer had to pay for the household expenses, and this old woman even shamelessly asked Jia Dongxu to give her three yuan a month as pension.

Add to that the cost of painkillers and her pig-like appetite, and this old hag accounts for at least half of the household expenses.

Only Jia Dongxu, a mama's boy, has taken it for granted for so many years.

It's almost the same reason why Yi Zhonghai falls in love with Jia Dongxu. He can tolerate such a difficult mother, so he must be a very good person.

There is a saying that goes, no matter how bad a filial person is, he can't be that bad.

At this moment, Jia Zhang verbally gave instructions to Jia Dongxu, but she had no intention of paying any money. It was true that she loved her grandson and her son, but compared with her money, it was nothing.

Qin Huairu was busy getting out some change of clothes for Jia Dongxu, as he needed to disguise himself to go to the black market.

"No need to bother, my master said to go in a few days..."

Jia Dongxu said helplessly.

"What? In a few days? Then what will our Jia family eat?"

Jia Zhang, who had just been trying to pretend to be an outsider because she didn't want to pay, suddenly quit.

She didn't want to spend the money, but she had to eat. The food at home was running out, and there were still ten days until the next month. She would starve to death!

Qin Huairu next to her also had a worried look on her face. As the cook, she knew better how long the food at home could last. Let alone a few days, it was hard to say whether the food at home could last until tomorrow.

The current Qin Huairu is far from the white lotus in the original novel. When Jia Dongxu was still alive, Qin Huairu was no different from most ordinary women.

It is even more impossible for her to get involved with Sha Zhu. Even if she is willing, Jia Dongxu will not agree. These days, reputation can really kill people.

A married woman is always entangled with an unmarried young man. If this news gets out, she will be ashamed to face people, especially Jia Dongxu. If he has the nickname of cuckold, he would have no need to live. It would be more appropriate for him to just kill himself by hitting his head against a wall.

Jia Zhang took one look at Qin Huairu and immediately became furious.

"It's all your fault, useless person. If you had a city hukou, our Jia family would never have ended up like this..."

Jia Zhang kept talking non-stop, completely forgetting that she herself also had a rural household registration, and that she chose Qin Huairu because she gave a low bride price.

Qin Huairu had a hard time speaking out her feelings, she now regretted it deeply.

It was okay in the past few years, but life has been tough in the past two years. Not only does her mother-in-law eat half of the food, but she is also extremely shameless. Not only does she not do any housework, but she also has a foul mouth and scolds her at every turn, especially after she gave birth to Xiaodang.

Thinking of Xiaodang, Qin Huairu burst into tears. Now there was no nutrition for her, so naturally there was no milk. Xiaodang could only drink soup and was as thin as a monkey.
