Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Three days passed in a flash.

Seeing that there had been no movement from the He family in the past three days, Li Muhua was a little confused as the note he sent to them had fallen into the sea and had no effect.

This was a major event concerning the He family. It was impossible for He Daqing to pretend he didn't see it. Li Muhua just thought he had told Qin Huairu in private and stopped paying attention to the matter.

He is very busy at the moment. He just finished copying "Drawing Sword" the day before yesterday, reviewed it again yesterday and today, and just sent out a thick stack of "Exercise Books".

The postage emptied the only fifty cents he had left in his pocket. Fortunately, the Youth Publishing House was in downtown Beijing, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to pay the postage.

“God bless me and let me have enough food and drink in the future and move out of this slum!” Li Muhua returned to the house and sat at the desk, praying silently.

Now he really wanted to go to Baiyun Temple to worship the gods. You know, the current royalties are so high that it makes him astounded, just like the book "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" he read before.

Rumor has it that the royalties for this book were over 80,000 yuan. You should know that the largest denomination of a note now is ten yuan, and the author had to ride a tricycle to the publishing house to carry the money.

Ride a tricycle to collect the royalties!

Li Muhua was envious just thinking about this scene, and hoped that he would be the next lucky person. However, he would not be so ostentatious. He would just take the remittance slip to the post office to withdraw the money!

"Oh my God, there are so many rich people in the world, please give me one more..."

Li Muhua prayed in a daze in the room for a while. He stopped praying when the two brothers came back from school and started thinking about how to spend the money after getting it.

The night fell outside the window, and Qin Huairu walked into the courtyard with a worried look on her face.

It's the end of the month now, and she has been thinking about excuses to come back even later next month. She is almost worried to death. She can't say that "overtime" is her full attendance when the time comes!

After entering the central courtyard, Qin Huairu relaxed her brows, took a long breath, forced a smile, and walked into the door.

The food was already on the table. Qin Huairu put her bag on the counter and just sat down when Sha Zhu handed her a bowl of corn porridge and grinned at her.

Qin Huairu responded with a smile and just as she picked up the bowl, He Daqing, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly opened his mouth.

"Huai Ru, I just heard a piece of news today. I don't know if it's true or not, so I wanted to ask you. I don't know if it's appropriate or not!"

"Dad, we are all family. Is there anything inappropriate to ask? Just ask." Qin Huairu put down the bowl and looked at He Daqing, waiting for him to ask.

There was some panic in his eyes, afraid that some gossip would reach He Daqing's ears.

"I heard people in the alley talking about you getting an IUD. They say bad things about widows getting an IUD, so I wanted to ask you about this—"

As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, He Zhang stood up and howled, "Who said that? Who said that? Who is ruining the reputation of us orphans and widows?"

He Daqing glanced at He Zhang coldly, and in an instant he sat back on the stool in panic, shrinking his neck and winking at Qin Huairu who was sitting opposite her.

Jia Zhang hopes that Qin Huairu denies having had an IUD.

She didn't want Qin Huairu to give birth to a little Shazhu. If He Daqing and Shazhu had a grandson or a son, how would her grandson Banggeng live in the He family in the future?

Seeing that He Zhang still dared to do evil, He Daqing's eyes gradually became fierce. Since beating her twice could not change her nature, he would continue beating her.

He wanted to see how many times he had to beat her before He Zhangshi would stop doing all her evil things.

But it was obviously inappropriate to take action at this moment. He Daqing suppressed his anger and looked at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu ignored He Zhang's winking eyes, changed her mind and nodded, saying: "Dad, it's true. Before, as long as you go to the Sheung Wan Health Center, you can get food coupons. You also know the situation of my family at that time-"

Qin Huairu wiped her tears while speaking, and He Daqing stopped her from continuing: "Huairu, this is not your fault. It's normal that you didn't tell me and Zhuzi, two grown men. I can understand!"

When Qin Huairu heard what He Daqing said, she nodded in surprise. Was it just like that that she had concealed the fact that she had had an IUD?

But then I heard He Daqing ask again: "Did you discuss this with your mother at that time?"

He Zhang was puzzled after hearing this, and didn't understand why He Daqing asked what this was for. Qin Huairu nodded and replied, "I discussed it with my mother at the time, and she also said that it was worthwhile to get 30 kilograms of food coupons for free, so I went there."

After hearing this, He Daqing nodded and looked at He Zhangshi. He put his hands under the table. He Daqing pulled out his right hand and He Zhangshi jumped up from the stool in an instant.

"Snapped!"

The belt hit He Zhang's head directly, causing her to howl in pain: "Ouch——"

She wanted to escape out the door, but after Qin Huairu entered, He Daqing bolted the door. Jia Zhang turned around and fled to the inner room. He Daqing followed closely behind her, raising his belt high.

"Wow~"

"Snapped!"

The belt was pulled out by He Daqing with a sound of breaking through the air, and the explosion sound when it hit Jia Zhang's head was several times louder than firecrackers. He Zhang's shrill howls could not stop He Daqing's angry roar.

"Didn't you say that others are destroying your reputation? Then why did Huairu say this was true? She even discussed it with you. And what do you mean by orphans and widows? Are you hoping that Zhuzi and I will die..."

He Daqing kept questioning her but ignored her explanation. He Daqing's belt kept hitting her. She ran around in the inner room unable to escape the beating.

Finally, he simply got onto the kang and wrapped himself tightly with the quilt. He Daqing also flew onto the kang and kicked He Zhangshi hard with his foot.

"Speak now, aren't you a corrupt person, an orphan or a widow..."

After a long time, He Zhang's screams gradually subsided and her struggling movements became weaker. He Daqing was afraid that he might really hurt her, so he slowly withdrew his feet.

After jumping off the bed, He Daqing limped back to the table and sat down, looking at Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu who were silent and lowered their heads, and looked at the silly little Dang Huaihua.

He Daqing forced an ugly smile on his old face. His voice was as cold as iron. He called Qin Huairu and said, "Eat. I know Cuihua's health. It's okay. You can apply medicine after dinner!"

Qin Huairu forced a smile and nodded in agreement with He Daqing.

The three little ones seemed to be cast from the same mold, nodding their heads madly.

Sha Zhu glanced at He Daqing, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Dad, why did you hit Mom again? And you hit her so hard. It's just a few words. Why can't we talk about it peacefully? Why did you have to hit her--"

He Daqing sipped a mouthful of porridge and answered while picking up some food and putting it into his mouth.

"Since you are so filial and know how to protect Huai Ru's mother, then I will explain to you. First, the neighbors are clearly telling the truth, but she denies it, saying that the neighbors are destroying our family's reputation. This is deceiving our family and destroying the relationship between our family and the neighbors. Do you think she should be beaten?"

"Second, we've been married for more than half a month, and she's still calling us orphans and widows. She doesn't consider us her own family, and she's also cursing us to death. Do you think she should beat us?"

After listening to He Daqing's explanation, Sha Zhu still looked dissatisfied. He thought that these things could be discussed, and He Daqing shouldn't have beaten people directly like Liu Haizhong did, scaring the three children next to him like quails.

It was not easy to contradict He Daqing and say that he was making a big deal out of nothing, so he simply turned his head away and did not respond, thus showing his dissatisfaction.

Qin Huairu, who was sitting next to him, picked up the bowl. With her keen mind, she knew that He Daqing had three or four points in his mind that he had not said out loud. This time, the beating of He Zhang was at least mostly for her to see.

So he just kept silent and listened without making any statement, and picked up the bowl to feed Huaihua.

The three children buried their heads in their bowls and did not dare to play around at the dinner table as usual.

Suddenly, the only sounds left in the room were the chewing of food by a few people and the low sobbing of Mrs. He Zhang from the inner room. The neighbors who were watching the excitement outside the door also dispersed one after another.
