Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

"Okay, stop cursing and let's get back to business." Qin Huairu interrupted impatiently.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang stopped cursing and said in a low voice:

"Huai Ru, since you got 200 yuan, shouldn't you give me 100 yuan?"

Qin Huairu said indifferently: "This is the two hundred yuan I got by selling my body to an old man. Do you think I will give you half of it?"

"From now on, I will live at Yi Zhonghai's house and Fan Laijia's house. You will be responsible for cooking and taking care of the three Banggeng siblings."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang said indignantly:

"Qin Huairu, don't go too far. I didn't get any benefits from your remarriage with Yi Zhonghai, and I still have to cook for one more person?"

Qin Huairu said calmly: "How can there be no benefits? At least the food will be improved to a higher level. We can eat white flour buns every day, and we can eat meat once every ten days or half a month."

"Of course, you can disagree. Then we will separate. From now on, we will never have any contact with each other again until we die."

Jia Zhang shouted at the top of her lungs: "Qin Huairu, you can't do this. I'm your mother-in-law."

Qin Huairu said coldly: "It's my ex-mother-in-law. I've remarried now and have nothing to do with you anymore."

"By the way, you can choose any of the three children. You can keep whoever you want, and the rest will follow me."

Jia Zhang gnashed her teeth and said, "Qin Huairu, are you really going to do this?"

Qin Huairu said expressionlessly: "Based on your previous attitude towards me, I have been very kind to you by not sending you back to the countryside and letting you fend for yourself."

"I am now showing mercy and giving you the opportunity to choose. Please don't be ungrateful."

Jia Zhang suppressed her anger and said in a low voice:

"Huai Ru, we won't separate, but you have to give me five yuan a month as hard work fee."

"Not a penny!" Qin Huairu said firmly.

"What? Not a penny?"

"Qin Huairu, you are too mean, aren't you?"

"If you want money, earn it yourself. Aren't you making matchboxes?"

"How much money can you make by pasting matchboxes? If you can't even agree to this, I'd rather separate from you."

"I couldn't ask for more. The house is yours and the job in the factory is mine..."

"You wish. The house was rented to us by the factory. The factory can take it back at any time..."

"Then I'll take a step back. The job in the factory will be yours, and the house in the yard will be mine."

"The house belongs to you, so where should I live?"

"That's none of my business. You can rent a house outside or go back to the countryside."

Jia Zhang's eyes widened with anger, she heaved a long sigh, and said dejectedly:

"Qin Huairu, you win. We won't separate. We'll do as you say."

Qin Huairu raised the corners of her mouth and said with regret:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I actually hope that you will choose to separate the family, and we will never have any contact with each other again."

Jia Zhang roared loudly: "Qin Huairu, you are dreaming. You will never get rid of me in this life."

Qin Huairu smiled meaningfully, turned around and went to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be casual and asked, "What did Jia Zhang talk to you about?"

Qin Huairu said sarcastically: "That old woman wanted you to give her ten yuan a month, but I directly rebuked her and told her that she didn't have a penny."

"I also warned her to take good care of the children and do housework, otherwise I would send her back to the countryside..."

Yi Zhonghai asked suspiciously, "I know exactly how difficult that old woman is. How can she easily compromise?"

Qin Huairu sneered, "What if she doesn't compromise? I have nothing to do with her now. She can't do anything to me. If she makes me angry, I will just drive her out of the courtyard and let her starve to death on the street."

Yi Zhonghai's face froze, and then he praised: "Huai Ru, you really impressed me. You can actually make a shrew like Jia Zhang obedient."

Qin Huairu smiled calmly and said, "It's nothing. That old thing may seem fierce, but she's actually a paper tiger who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. As long as you're tougher than her, she'll be as docile as a lamb."

"I was too weak before, which is why I let her bully me at will."

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes slightly. He originally thought that he could easily control Qin Huairu, but now it seems impossible.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Qin Huairu returned to the Jia family, picked up the pork she bought in the afternoon, and walked into the kitchen.

Jia Zhang smiled and said, "Huai Ru, you've worked hard cleaning the room, let me cook!"

Qin Huairu sneered and said, "I'll cook tonight. I'm afraid you'll cook. This pound of pork belly will only weigh two ounces when it's served."

Jia Zhang said in dissatisfaction: "Qin Huairu, what are you talking about? You make it sound like I'm cheating!"

Qin Huairu sneered, "Don't you know how to do it? Last time, I clearly cut the meat for Banggeng to replenish his body, but you secretly ate most of it. I didn't even taste it. Do you think I dare to let you cook meat?"

"Last time it was just an accident..."

"Okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I'm going to cook."

"Then I'll go and help you."

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she happily followed Qin Huairu into the kitchen.

"Huai Ru, how are you going to eat this pork belly?"

"Braised pork and potatoes."

"The braised pork and potatoes are great, it's my favorite."

"As long as it's not shit, you like to eat it!"

"Qin Huairu, don't go too far. After all, I am your elder. You should give me the minimum respect."

"Shut up and light a fire for me!"

Half an hour later, an enticing aroma came out of the meat pot. Jia Zhang's heart was like a cat's paw. She kept circling around the stove, drooling all over the floor.

Qin Huairu yelled, "Get out, you disgraceful thing."

Jia Zhang said with a shameless face: "Huai Ru, have you let mother-in-law taste the meat?"

Qin Huairu pushed Jia Zhang out of the kitchen without saying a word and then locked the door.

"Bump bump..."

"Qin Huairu, what are you doing? Are you hiding in the kitchen trying to steal food? Hurry up and open the door. I want to supervise you."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, can you please be quiet? If you keep howling like this, everyone in the hospital will know."

Jia Zhang cursed: "Yi Zhonghai, do you have any manners? I am your mother, can you call me Jia Zhang? You are such a disrespectful person..."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were red, his face was ashen, his fists were clenched so hard that they made a gurgling sound, and he looked like he was about to eat meat.

Jia Zhang shrank her neck and said in a timid tone:

"Yi Zhonghai, what do you want to do? Do you want to beat your mother?"

Yi Zhonghai said in a voice as cold as ice: "Old man, Qin Huairu dared to hit you, do you think I dare to hit you?"

Jia Zhang's face suddenly changed. She stepped back a few steps in fear and stammered:

"Zhong...Zhong Hai, today is your big day, you must stay calm."

Yi Zhonghai said sternly: "Jia Zhang, I warn you, be more respectful to me in the future. I believe you know who I am. If you make me angry, you will suffer the consequences."
