Siheyuan, Rainwater is the master, Shazhu wins

He Yuzhu left the tavern and walked towards the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang with some anticipation in his heart.

It has been several days since he went back home last time after getting his marriage certificate, and he felt that he should go back and take a look.

After all, without Yi Zhonghai's moral blackmail, only Qin Huairu was left pretending to be pitiful. I wonder if the people in the courtyard would still help her like before.

Now, he was even more curious about whether these people would also search for food like crazy.

Soon, He Yuzhu walked into the courtyard carrying a bag of delicious cooked food.

The tempting aroma emanating from the bag immediately made everyone in the yard salivate over it.

Especially Qin Huairu's family who lived in the middle courtyard. Xiaodang and Huaihua were so greedy that they almost cried after smelling the fragrance.

They were drooling and crying for food.

This situation made Qin Huairu at home feel very helpless.

On this sunny afternoon, Qin Huairu should have been busy working in the factory as usual, but suddenly, a strong feeling of hunger came over her, making her feel dizzy and unable to continue working.

In desperation, she could only sneak back home.

In the past two days, the family’s food reserves have been exhausted and the food coupons have been used up, so we can’t buy food even if we have it.

The children and she could only rely on the food in the cafeteria to fill their stomachs every day, which was obviously far from enough for the growing children.

Especially the little boy Banggeng, who is at the age when he can eat, but recently he has been too hungry to have any strength, and even couldn't help falling asleep during class at school.

However, what was worse was that since He Yushui was not in the cafeteria these two days, the food cooked by Ma Hua was really not that good. In addition, Liu Lan deliberately shook the spoon when serving rice, causing the already small amount of food to become even less.

Qin Huairu was very dissatisfied with this, but she did not dare to complain easily.

After all, Liu Lan has the support of her leader, and Ma Hua is only responsible for cooking and does not serve her food, so it is not easy for her to bite others.

So, Qin Huairu could only lie on the bed silently, hoping to relieve the discomfort caused by hunger.

This kind of fragrance is a torture for hungry people. Qin Huairu was lying on the bed at this time, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Although she had fallen asleep, her dreams were all about food.

She really couldn't bear it anymore, so she forced herself to sit up and get out of bed, walked to the door, opened it and looked out.

She wanted to see who made such a delicious meal.

In comparison, Qin Jingru is better off, at least she still has some money.

Ever since He Yuzhu left, she has been responsible for looking after the house for He Yuzhu.

In order to avoid going out, she bought a lot of food in advance.

So, she had no shortage of food.

Qin Huairu also asked her for it, but was rejected.

Because she knew that if she gave the food to Qin Huairu, she would starve.

Moreover, Qin Huairu is not without money, she just doesn't want to spend it.

She always likes to take advantage of others, and Qin Jingru has long been dissatisfied with this.

The two sisters had an unpleasant argument about this, and the people in the yard stood aside and watched, with no one stepping forward to mediate.

When Qin Jingru saw He Yuzhu coming back, she couldn't help feeling happy.

She ran out of the door quickly, came to He Yuzhu and helped him open the door.

Qin Huairu naturally saw it, but she didn't go over.

The current He Yuzhu is no longer the silly Zhuzi of the past, and it would be of no use even if she passed away.

When He Yuzhu returned home, he found the room very tidy and clean as soon as he entered.

He thought to himself that it seemed that this little girl Qin Jingru was doing a pretty good job.

In contrast, Qin Huairu was completely different. She always said she would help He Yuzhu clean the room and do the laundry, but that was only when he was looking for a partner, and she would never come over at other times.

She always says nice things in front of others, but the reality is not so.

Even though they once had a special relationship, now that the original body's wishes had been fulfilled, it would be tactless to continue.

"Well, good, you did a good job, I am very satisfied." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Then, he took out a piece of meat and handed it to Qin Jingru, "Okay, I'll give you this piece of meat to taste. By the way, tell me if anything happened in the yard these two days?"

He Yuzhu knew Qin Jingru's character very well. As long as there was a little benefit, she would definitely tell everything she knew.

So he deliberately used meat as bait, believing that Qin Jingru would definitely speak.

"Well, okay, let me tell you, the courtyard has been very busy these past two days, and every household is busy outside. They went to the grain station to buy food, but unfortunately they didn't buy anything.

My husband went to the black market to buy it, but not only did he not buy it, but the money he brought with him was also stolen."

"Director Wang came once and explained that it is difficult to transport supplies at the moment, but it will be fine after a while. He told everyone not to worry. Those who don't have food can go to the countryside first, maybe there is some there."

"So, these days they went to visit relatives they hadn't contacted for years, but most of them came back empty-handed, which means that they were not given any food, or there was no food."

"I asked Qin Huairu who had returned. She also went back to the countryside to ask her parents for food. She said that life in the countryside was difficult, so she returned without getting any food."

He Yuzhu then confirmed that it seemed that this food crisis was indeed an emergency event and should have been resolved later, otherwise why was it not in the plot? Did the screenwriter hide it?

Or is it that this world does not develop completely according to the plot?

If this is true, then he needs to re-examine his future plans.

After all, only by adapting to the environment can you survive.

"Okay, I understand. You go back and rest. I have to go out soon. I came back just to take a look. It seems that the neighbors are having a miserable time."

Qin Jingru was speechless after hearing what the other party said. It was indeed true. She basically drank the remaining Erhe porridge and didn't dare to have any more.

After a while, He Yuzhu put the cooked food into the space, closed the door and left.

There were not many people in the courtyard. They should all be outside trying to find a solution. After he left the courtyard, he went to the black market.

The black market doesn't dare to open during the day, but at this critical moment he wants to try his luck, maybe there is someone who knows the situation.

He was walking on the street and saw many people were exhausted, so he went into stealth mode when he turned a corner and no one was paying attention.

After he quietly came to the black market, he found that there were indeed people there, but only very few.

At this time, someone's topic attracted him.

"It's really weird. After cracking down on smuggling, some grain merchants are unwilling to sell grain here." Someone complained.

"Maybe they give him a lot of benefits, otherwise he wouldn't be so arrogant." said another person.

"What can you do? If they don't give it to you, you can still steal it." Another person also said.

"Hey, they've already been arrested. Isn't this a pitfall for everyone? How many people in the entire capital are starving every day?"

These remarks made He Yuzhu realize that this was because the suppliers were trying to intimidate the government after their partners were arrested.

They still think they are capable enough. Just wait and see if they continue like this, these people will definitely get into trouble.

At the same time, he also understood the reason. It was related to himself. He really didn't expect it.
