Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Qin Huairu was wiping her tears as she saw Jia Dongxu finally wake up. Her face showed a look of joy, but before she could be happy for a while, she suddenly felt a pain on her face and it immediately started to burn again.

She covered her face in shock, looking at Jia Dongxu who had just woken up, her face full of grievances, and she cried and asked Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu, why did you hit me?"

"You stinky bitch, I'm not dead yet! You're still flirting with guys in the yard, bringing shame to our Jia family! Why don't you just die? You even hid it from me and secretly went to borrow money from that little bastard Lin Geng, and hid your private money. What do you want to do?

I will beat you to death, you stinky bitch! If you don’t explain yourself to me today, I will beat you to death!” Jia Dongxu struggled to sit up, his face full of resentment, his eyes spitting fire and staring at Qin Huairu, as if he wanted to eat her.

Qin Huairu was frightened by Jia Dongxu's expression. She stammered, not knowing how to explain, but in her heart she cursed Jia Dongxu and the Jia Zhang family's ancestors for eight generations.

Qin Huairu thought to herself, I have the audacity to ask Shazhu for lunch boxes and neighbors for meat every day. Do I want to do this? Don’t I have any shame? Isn’t this all forced by you two?

I went to borrow money from that little beast Lin Geng, and it's all because of you, a loser. You only give me so little money a month, but you want to eat good food every day. When I don't have money to buy it, you scold me for being a useless country girl. I can't even get some meat for the family. I have no choice but to think of a way to get more money to support this broken family!

Now, you blame me for what you did, and now you call me a bitch. How dare you, Jia Dongxu? Wasn't it all because of you?

I was the most beautiful girl in Qin Village, but I was so blind that I fell in love with your Jia family and married a useless person like you. I am so unlucky.

But no matter how resentful Qin Huairu felt in her heart, she dared not show it. Now she had finally married into the city from the poor countryside. Although she suffered a lot, life in the city was much better than life in the village. At least she could barely get enough to eat.

You have to know that during the difficult three years before, people in the village were said to have starved to death, and her parents and relatives almost starved to death. Although there was not enough food in the city, at least people were not starving to death.

Now she has two children and is pregnant with another one. She will give birth in a few months. If she annoys Jia Dongxu, given his temper, he might really drive her and Xiaodang back to her mother's hometown in the countryside.

If that happened, not only would she not be able to hold her head up in the village, she might even starve to death.

So no matter how resentful Qin Huairu was, she didn't dare to curse out loud. She could only explain to Jia Dongxu aggrievedly, saying that she went to ask Sha Zhu for a lunch box. Wasn't it Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang who asked her to go? How could she be blamed now?

After listening to Qin Huairu's explanation, Jia Dongxu was also speechless, because Qin Huairu was telling the truth. He really couldn't blame Qin Huairu for this. He could only blame his mother for being too greedy and stingy. He knew very well that his mother had saved a lot of money. Over the years, she forced him to give her five yuan every month for her retirement. However, no matter how difficult life was at home, his mother refused to give a penny. She scolded him for being incompetent every day and said that he was still only a second-level worker.

His mother was extremely greedy. She wanted to eat meat and white flour buns every day. She was afraid to smell the aroma of meat from other people's homes. She would curse Qin Huairu at home, and under the pretext of wanting to grow up, she forced Qin Huairu to take a large bowl and "borrow" some meat from others to eat.

But most of the meat that Qin Huairu brought back went into his mother's mouth. Even his son could not eat much of it. He could only get a few pieces of the stalks. Now that he thinks about it, he can't really blame Qin Huairu for the situation their family has fallen into. If anyone has to blame anyone, it's only his mother.

If his mother hadn't set her eyes on Lin Geng's house, thinking that Lin Geng's mother had passed away and Lin Geng was a loser, she would have taken this opportunity to rob Lin Geng's house. In this way, their family would have had much more space to live in.

Now, not only did he fail to get the Lin family's house, but he also took the mother and son to the police station. His master Yi Zhonghai was also in trouble and was detained in the police station for a week. He lost his job and was extorted two thousand yuan by that little beast Lin Geng.

Two thousand yuan! That's two thousand yuan! If he provided for Yi Zhonghai's retirement in the future, all this money would belong to him. But now it all went to that little bastard Lin Geng. Even the one thousand yuan that his mother had saved up with great difficulty through years of fraud was taken away by Lin Geng.

When he thought about how much money that should have belonged to him but was now gone, all taken away by Lin Geng, Jia Dongxu felt so heartbroken that he wanted to die. He was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe and even forgot about the pain in his jaw and head.

Looking at Qin Huairu's tearful face, Jia Dongxu finally softened his heart. He sighed and said unhappily, "Cry, cry, cry. You can only cry. What else can you do? How dare you cry here? Can't you see that I stink? I've been in the cell for seven days and only had a few bowls of porridge. Am I almost starving to death? Why don't you go and boil water and cook for me? Do you want to starve me to death so that you can remarry?"

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongxu's scolding, she could only wipe her tears and agree, then turned around and went to boil water and cook, choking with sobs. Her family really didn't have much food now. After the Jia mother and son were imprisoned, she didn't buy any food and lived on the little corn flour that was left over from the family.

So even though Jia Dongxu came back today, she only prepared a few cornmeal steamed buns last night. Now she cooked a pot of cornmeal porridge for Jia Dongxu and fried a dish of so-called cabbage, which was almost boiled. She brought them to the table and helped Jia Dongxu get down from the bed and sit down at the table.

Jia Dongxu felt pain all over his body. He had just been hit by a strong punch from Lin Geng, which made his head buzz. His teeth also hurt terribly. There was a taste of rust in his mouth, his gums were still bleeding, and his jawbone seemed to be broken. Although he was starving, he didn't dare to open his mouth to take a bite of the cornmeal steamed bread. He gasped in pain when he opened his mouth.

I finally opened my mouth and took a bite, but my teeth and jaw ached so much that I couldn't chew. Tears came to my eyes in pain. I reached out and touched my teeth, only to find that several of them were still flexible. Two of my big teeth were even cracked. No wonder it hurt so much that I didn't dare open my mouth.

Jia Dongxu was so angry that he threw the cornmeal steamed bread on the table. He gritted his teeth, covered his cheek with his hands, and cursed Lin Geng in a low voice, "You are a damn bastard."

At this time, the sound of several craftsmen working and cursing could be heard from outside the door. They were cursing Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai and others as beasts, and the dogecoin thing was worse than beasts, and they deserved to be punished.

This made Jia Dongxu very angry. He almost suffocated and fainted. However, after receiving a punch from Lin Geng, he now understood completely that if he took action in front of Lin Geng, he would be like a chicken and would be asking for trouble. So although he was extremely angry, he did not dare to jump out and scold the craftsmen who were repairing the house for the Lin family. He could only hold the bowl and drink the porridge in small sips. Even so, he still grimaced in pain and gasped from time to time.
