Rebirth 1955 starts from the hunter

Jia Dongxu didn't want to reason with his mother, and he knew that she only dared to act nonsense at home. When facing Yi Zhonghai, she was still very sensible.

"Mom, I have something serious to ask Huairu, can you please stop messing around?"

When Jia Zhang heard the serious matter, she stopped making a fuss. She also wanted to hear what it was about.

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "I know Changling, but I've never been there. It's quite far away."

"Huai Ru, Master wants you to go home and find out what's going on at Lin Dong's house."

Qin Huairu was in a dilemma. She didn't even have a dollar on her, so how could she feel comfortable going home?

Thinking of the hundreds of relatives in her hometown, everyone thought she had married into the city to enjoy a good life. Little did she know that the life in the Jia family was even worse than it is now in the countryside!

Jia Zhang kept an eye on her all the time, so she couldn't save a penny.

I can't go home empty-handed! That would be so embarrassing.

(Before 1955, the counties around Beijing had to pay % of the public grain for each acre of land, and at most %. Farmers' lives were no worse than those of workers, and at least they had three full meals a day.)

Seeing Qin Huairu's hesitation, Jia Dongxu didn't understand, but Jia Zhang knew everything.

"Dongxu, no matter how much money your master gave you, you can't let Huairu go home empty-handed! Is this the attitude to do things?" - Although Jia Zhang was reluctant to part with the things, she didn't want Qin Huairu to lose face for the Jia family, so she naturally let Yi Zhonghai pay for the things.

Yi Zhonghai obviously didn't think of this and didn't give a penny.

Jia Dongxu still loved his wife very much. He took out five yuan from his pocket and said, "Huai Ru, I still have to go to work. Please apologize to Lao Taishan for me. We will go back together during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Before Qin Huairu could take the money, Jia Zhang grabbed it and said, "Go ask your master for money. You need to do something for him and find someone to get information. What can five dollars do?"

"Mom, give the money to Huairu. I'll talk to Master if I get a chance. We have to get this done first." - Jia Dongxu's tone was already a little stiff, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.

It has to be said that Jia Dongxu still respects Yi Zhonghai very much, and even has some blind admiration for him.

Yi Zhonghai was also good to this apprentice. Apart from anything else, if Yi Zhonghai had not protected the Jia family over the years since Old Jia passed away, the family would have been taken advantage of and the orphan and widow would have definitely been bullied.

Seeing that her son was about to get angry, Jia Zhang had no choice but to compromise. Her son's filial piety did not mean that she would take advantage of him.

The old idea of ​​obeying the husband after marriage and obeying the son after the husband's death is deeply rooted in Jia Zhang's family.

But caring is caring, and money is another matter. Jia Zhang's face turned grim and she said, "Dongxu, it's not that I don't understand the ways of the world. Your ration is enough for four people in our family. We have to buy a lot of premium food every month. After all the expenses are paid, there are only a few dozen yuan left in the house. I can't do anything about it."

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Jia Dongxu hesitated. No matter what he said, filling his stomach was more important than anything else. If he couldn't even have enough food, everything else was nonsense.

Qin Huairu also knew the family situation, and she was unwilling to spend the family's money, so she said, "Dongxu, Mom is right. Uncle has never been back to his hometown, so he may not think of this. It is necessary to remind him first. It is hard to say how much money will be spent afterwards."

Jia Zhang was very satisfied with Qin Huairu's words, and she also approved of this daughter-in-law. She was sensible, filial, hardworking, and most importantly, she gave birth to a golden grandson for her Jia family.

In order to show her mother-in-law's authority in front of outsiders, she would scold her a few words every day. However, she never treated Qin Huairu badly at home. They all ate together. However, she did not allow Qin Huairu to have money in her pocket, for fear that she would secretly help her parents' home.

Seeing that Jia Dongxu was still hesitant, Jia Zhang wanted to let Qin Huairu ask Yi Zhonghai for money. But after thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she stood up and said, "Dongxu, Mom knows it's not easy for you to ask, so I'll go and talk to you about this. This is the money that Yi Zhonghai should pay." - After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the room.

Jia Dongxu instinctively wanted to stop her, but Qin Huairu pulled him back and said, "Don't worry! Mom knows how to act."

Jia Zhang just thought about it for a moment and came up with what to say. When she arrived at Yi's house and saw that the door was still open, she went to the door, hesitated and walked around, not entering the house or saying a word.

The aunt hadn't come back yet, and Yi Zhonghai was confused. He had no choice but to walk out of the house and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Jia Zhang seemed to have made up her mind, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Uncle, you are Master Dongxu, and our family has been in need of your help over the years. Logically, if you can let Huairu do something, our family should do their best. But, there are some things that Dongxu is afraid of embarrassing you, so he never dares to let you, his master, know."

Yi Zhonghai is not a stupid person, he just hasn't dealt with some worldly affairs for a long time and has neglected them.

Considering what Qin Huairu had done, he almost guessed the difficulties faced by the Jia family, but he was not sure. He never thought that the Jia family would have difficulties in life. After all, it had only been five or six years since Old Jia passed away, and the pension they received was not small.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to guess whether the Jia family still had any savings. Since he was the one who asked the family to do the job, he should pay for it.

Seeing Jia Zhang hesitant and trying to speak again, Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "I didn't have any money in my pocket just now, and I was thinking of giving it to Dongxu tomorrow. Sister-in-law, since you are here, take it back and ask Huairu to buy more things. Don't let Dongxu's father-in-law look down on him."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he went back into the house, took out ten yuan and handed it to Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang took the money and still said with a bitter face: "Uncle, you know that Dongxu only makes 27 yuan a month. He used to be able to get by with the help of the villagers. Now he has to feed our family of four, and this money is not enough to buy premium grain. Old Jia's pension has been almost used up. How can we live like this? I wanted Dongxu to tell you several times, but he just didn't want to. He always said that the master's wife was in poor health and the master had a hard time. He said that he would turn against me, his mother, when he got angry. Uncle, you don't know that Banggeng hasn't eaten an egg for half a month, and Huairu feeds my eldest grandson with corn paste every day. I feel so sorry for him!... " Jia Zhang's tears came down as she spoke. She didn't cry out loud, but she looked even sadder.

Yi Zhonghai felt a little overwhelmed and was skeptical about what Jia Zhang said.

He knew that Jia Dongxu looked smart but was very stupid when it came to learning things, perhaps even worse than Sha Zhu.

He was a bit too concerned about his reputation and a bit stubborn. This was also the reason why he took Jia Dongxu as his old man.

Such talents are easy to control. If someone is too smart, and has a mother like Jia Zhang, he would not even accept this apprentice.

Today, Jia Zhang said that it would be unacceptable if they didn't help with even a penny, but he wouldn't be happy if they gave too much, and it was not reliable to support the elderly with money.
