Rebirth He Yuzhu I am a family man
Chapter 153 The Shattered Jia Family
Back then, when Qin Huairu got married, the coat she wore was a coarse cloth coat with the least patches. She was alone, carrying a bag filled with old clothes that had been patched many times. She followed Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai to the courtyard in silence.
On the day of Xiao Huaihua's wedding, she wore the new clothes left by Xiaodang. Qin Huairu personally sent her to the man's house. Not only did she give her a dowry, she also secretly stuffed 10 yuan into Xiao Huaihua's pocket and asked her to hide it in the pocket of her underwear in case of emergency.
In Qin Huairu's opinion, as a mother, she had made very thoughtful arrangements for Xiao Huaihua, which was countless times better than when she got married.
Xiao Huaihua received a betrothal gift when she was married off by Qin Huairu, plus the salary and compensation paid to Xiao Huaihua by "He's Stew Restaurant" that Qin Huairu had cheated long ago, the money Qin Huairu had in her hands was almost close to the amount she indirectly lost to Xiao Dang.
As the saying goes, "Money gives cowards courage." Now that Qin Huairu had some savings in her hands, she felt much more energetic and in high spirits. She no longer stayed in the Jia family's house and dared to go out for a walk.
It is said that when Qin Jingru entered the Jia family, she was still an underage girl. From the moment she entered the Jia family, she was favored by Jia Zhang.
Ever since she gave birth to three bastard wolf cubs, Bangchui, Banggan and Bangtou, her status in the Jia family has been at its peak.
Qin Huairu would help walk her three self-proclaimed grandchildren on her days off; usually, it was Jia Zhang who watched over her two sisters-in-law, Xiaodang and Huaihua, to do housework and take care of her three bastard cubs. Qin Jingru herself didn't need to take care of anything else except breastfeeding, and she lived a completely hands-off life.
To put it bluntly, Qin Jingru was basically an idler in the Jia family. She went to work in the steel rolling mill, where she had to deal with iron lumps and steel blocks every day, which made her, who was used to a comfortable life, exhausted.
At this time in the Jia family, first Xiaodang got into trouble, and no one cared whether he was dead or alive; then, Xiao Huaihua got married; after that, Qin Huairu simply imitated Jia Zhang's past behavior, not even helping to cook meals every day, let alone taking care of trivial housework. Apart from sleeping until noon and taking a nap, she would go out to chat with people, or stroll outside the courtyard.
Qin Huairu learned from her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, but she didn’t think about whether Qin Jingru could be like her?
When Qin Huairu was young, the environment she was in determined that even if she did things that were not human in private, she had to pretend to be decent in front of others to consider her reputation; if she wanted to do something extraordinary in public, the environment would not allow her to do so blatantly, otherwise, she would not be able to gain a foothold and live in the courtyard house or the steel mill.
At the beginning, when she arrived at the Jia family, she was ordered by Jia's family to do this and that on the very first day; when she gave birth to Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua, no matter how weak or tired she was, no one in the Jia family came to help her; later, even when she went to work in the steel mill, she still needed to take care of the family.
Qin Jingru simply couldn't accept the changes in the Jia family, and she felt even more unwilling.
Qin Jingru wanted to be like before, free from worries, but she watched her two sons, Bangchui and Banggan, being neglected every day. One had a broken right hand, and the other had a broken left hand, and they always liked to play outside. When she got up in the morning and got home from get off work at night, she was faced with an empty stove. If she didn't do anything, not only would she have nothing to eat, but her two young sons would also have to go hungry.
At this time, Qin Jingru had just got a job at the steel mill, had little money, had no relatives in the city, and had no better way out. For herself and for her two sons who she didn't like but were her own, she could only choose to endure it.
She could only comfort herself: Anyway, she had to eat, and her two sons had to eat too. As for Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, it was just a matter of grabbing a few more handfuls of grain and adding a few more spoonfuls of water.
As for housework, Qin Jingru was very clear about it. Apart from cleaning the room she lived in, she would sometimes help her two sons wash clothes when she remembered to do so. As for other things, she didn't care at all.
Qin Jingru was having a hard time adapting to the Jia family's current situation, and it was even harder for her two teenage bastard cubs to accept it.
In the past, as long as they skipped school, they could follow Banggeng to steal and rob; later, when Banggeng was involved in a lawsuit, they could go out and play by themselves, and when they got home they could still order Xiaodang and Huaihua, the two so-called aunts; but now, when they returned home after playing, the only ones left at home were the two ancestors whom they once dared not offend.
What the two wild wolf cubs could not tolerate the most was that the food was not as good as before. What they had for lunch was leftovers from the morning, and they still couldn’t eat enough.
Originally, they had gotten whatever they wanted in the Jia family, but now the Jia family had reached this point, how could they accept it? The unsatisfactory life made these two bastards resent Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, the two old men...
How could Jia Zhang be a simple character when she stayed in the courtyard without going out to work during the chaos of the old society, raised Jia Dongxu, and helped him get married and have children?
The disaster that Xiaodang brought to the Jia family caused the loss of all the money that Jia Zhang had hidden in the Jia family's house. However, the several hundred yuan that were sewn into her clothes and hidden in the shoe patterns beside her were fortunately preserved.
Therefore, Qin Huairu was stirring up trouble at home. Sometimes she was busy marrying off her daughter, Xiao Huaihua; sometimes she was there setting rules for Qin Jingru...
Jia Zhang, who is already in her seventies, can no longer care about so many things. No matter whether it is Qin Huairu or Qin Jingru, as long as it does not affect her status in the Jia family, she only cares about eating well, drinking well, and sleeping well, and she keeps a deaf ear to everything that happens in the Jia family.
If I didn’t eat enough in the morning, I would go out to buy bean juice, steamed buns, stewed food, etc.; if I didn’t eat well at noon, I would buy some roast duck, stewed food, etc. to satisfy my hunger; if I was hungry after taking a nap, I would go out to eat some snacks…
Bangchui and Banggan, who were in their teens, were old enough to eat. Although the Jia family had only coarse grains, they could at least get enough to eat.
The recent changes in the Jia family meant that they could not eat enough, and since they were always out and about, they would be hungry soon after eating. When there was no food in the Jia family's house, the two wild wolf cubs started hanging out outside.
In the past, when they had enough to eat, these two wild wolf cubs just played around outside and never thought about looking for food outside; when they were hungry, their eyes glowed green at everything they saw, and they didn't care about the smell of meat, vegetables, or steamed buns... They wanted to pounce on them and bite them.
That day, Jia Zhang, who had had enough of her afternoon nap, strolled out of the courtyard as usual and bought a few big meat buns. She held a brown paper bag with big meat buns in her left hand and a big meat bun in her right hand, eating with relish while walking on the street.
The street was very noisy with people coming and going, and Jia Zhang's hearing had deteriorated due to her old age, so she didn't hear at all: not far from her, there were two boys swallowing their saliva and calling her.
Bangchui and Banggan saw that their grandmother was only concerned with her own food and had no intention of paying attention to them. They saw that Jia Zhang had almost finished the big meat bun she stuffed into her mouth and was about to put her right hand into the brown paper bag in her left hand. When they were overwhelmed with greed, their minds were full of the big meat bun, and they could not care about anything else.
The two wolf cubs quickly approached Jia Zhang, and as if they were playing with their friends, one tripped her leg and the other pushed Jia Zhang's back.
Jia Zhang, who was old and slow-witted and concentrating on enjoying the big meat bun, stumbled and fell flat on her face...
