Siheyuan: What to do if there is no system

Chapter 33 Qin Huairu's Disappointment with Jia Dongxu

After the meeting, Jia Dongxu reluctantly took the two dollars and went to the backyard to find the second uncle. Not only did he have to pay compensation, but he also had to apologize and say nice things to the second uncle.

Here, Jia Zhang was in a very bad mood after being criticized. When she saw Qin Huairu feeding Banggeng milk with a smile, a feeling of depression surged in her heart.

She walked up to Qin Huairu and twisted her arm hard, causing her to scream in pain and say, "Mom, what are you doing? Why are you pinching me?"

Jia Zhang said viciously: "You also know that I am your mother. You didn't say anything good when I was criticized in the meeting just now. Now you dare to laugh when I come back. I will strangle you to death."

Jia Zhang said as she went up and twisted her again, this time even harder, saying, "Let's see if you dare to do it again." Jia Zhang then sat on her bed, still staring at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu couldn't stand the pain at this time, and felt really wronged, so she started crying, but she still held the stick tightly.

Jia Dongxu just came back and saw Qin Huairu crying. He thought that it was Jia Zhang who did it. Looking at Jia Zhang, he sighed, walked to Qin Huairu, picked up Banggeng and said, "Go to bed early. I have to find Master tomorrow to discuss holding a full moon banquet for Banggeng."

Qin Huairu was used to it. She knew that Jia Dongxu was a mama's boy and that she was from the countryside. Since she married Jia Dongxu, she was often scolded by Jia Zhangshi for being from the countryside and having to abide by the rules of the Jia family. Jia Zhangshi would take it out on her if she was not satisfied with something. However, she usually didn't hit her. If she did, Qin Huairu would definitely not be able to bear it and would cry.

Qin Huairu's family was not well off, and she thought marrying Jia Dongxu was a happy thing, but she didn't expect to have a wicked mother-in-law. She thought that after giving birth to a child, Jia Zhangshi would stop beating and scolding her, but she didn't expect that she didn't change at all. Today, seeing that Jia Dongxu didn't help her again, or even say a few words to Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu felt more and more that she had married the wrong person.

Before, she was willing to marry Jia Dongxu because he was tall and handsome, and he had never hit her and treated her well. But when it came to the issue of Jia Zhang, he would sometimes speak up for her and criticize Jia Zhang. After a long time, she acquiesced to Jia Zhang's behavior. But she was also a person, and if she had a choice, she would never marry into the Jia family.

Qin Huairu touched her arm and found it was swollen and painful. She turned her head away and cried silently. Jia Dongxu didn't sleep either. He knew about it but pretended not to know. Jia Zhang raised him, and he didn't want to quarrel with her.

On the other side, Jinghao had just come out of his second uncle's house. His second uncle was scratched by Jia Zhang. It would be inappropriate if he didn't go to comfort him. He also told his uncle to prepare more food in advance. After all, there were many people in his second uncle's family, and they would not be able to eat enough in the future. Don't even think about watches and radios at this time. Watches were generally imported at this time, ranging from 1958 to yuan. There were only a few hundred radios in total, and not everyone could buy them. It was estimated that in , Peony and Red Star brand radios would be available. It was better to just live on them at this time.

When they arrived at He Yuzhu's house, Jing Hao saw that several people were still chatting. He called He Yuzhu and Xu Damao into his room and gave them a general explanation of the matter of buying food in advance.

After explaining, Jing Hao said that he hadn't been back to the compound very often recently, but was interrupted by Xu Damao, who said, "Haozi, I guess you'll have to come back in a few days."

Jing Hao asked in confusion: "Why? Brother Mao, do you need help with something?"

Xu Damao said: "No, it's still related to the Jia family. You forgot that Jia Dongxu's child is about to be one month old. I guess we will be notified in the next two days."

He Yuzhu also said: "Yes, it's only been a few days, why haven't we seen Jia Dongxu Zhisheng?"

Jing Hao thought about it and said quickly: "Brother Zhuzi, if the Jia family wants to hold a full-month banquet, Yi Zhonghai will definitely come to you for help and let you cook for the Jia family for free. I guess you will also have to provide the oil and cooking tools yourself."

He Yuzhu was surprised and said, "No way, Haozi, Yi Zhonghai can do this. Can't he just hire a cook outside? Why does he have to find me?"

Xu Damao held his arm, crossed his legs, and said, "I think it's true. Jinghao knows something. Silly Zhu, what are you going to do?"

Jing Hao smiled and said, "Not only that, Brother Zhuzi not only has to help cook and deliver food for free, but also has to clean up the things himself at the end. Most importantly, he has to give gifts to the Jia family. Have you all forgotten this?"

He Yuzhu's face darkened, and he said, "Why? I'm not a fool. I'll help with the cooking. You said Jia Dongxu is here, so you can't be disrespectful to him. I'm the cook, and I pay for the cooking supplies. Why should I pay for the oil? Just give me a gift, it's normal. We're from the same compound."

Xu Damao said: "Yes, a fool, no adulteration."

He Yuzhu said angrily: "You are the fool, Shamao, you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth."

Jinghao consciously opened a pack of tin foil cigarettes, handed one to each person, lit it, took a puff, and felt great.

Xu Damao said, "After waiting for so long, you two bastards, someone finally gave you a cigarette."

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "I do have some. It's not that Haozi's cigarettes are not as good. I am also waiting for Haozi's Daqianmen. This one is strong and comfortable to smoke."

Jing Hao took out the Daqianmen and gave each of them three Daqianmen, and said, "How about it? Don't say that you are not a brother. Don't forget me when you get benefits in the future."

Xu Damao said: "Haozi, from what you said, is your brother that kind of person? But speaking of it, what do you think Shazhu should do about the Jia family's full moon banquet?"

Seeing He Yuzhu also looking at him, Jing Hao thought for a moment before saying, "Brother Zhuzi, you want to sit at the table to eat with your gift, but you are a cook, so when you are done, you can only leave some food for yourself."

He Yuzhu interrupted, "That's impossible. I cook for myself, and I won't leave some extra food for myself."

Jing Hao said speechlessly: "Just listen to me. I don't need to tell you who Jia Zhang is. You two know much more about her than I do. I guess Jia Dongxu has to go to work and Qin Huairu has to watch Banggen. So Jia Zhang must be the one buying groceries. With Jia Zhang's personality of taking advantage, she must have cut corners when buying groceries, and the extra money must go into Jia Zhang's own pocket."

Xu Damao said: "It is really possible. Jia Zhang is capable of doing such a thing."

Jing Hao went on to say, "Jia Zhang is definitely proud of not being at a disadvantage. If they buy less food, it means everyone won't have enough to eat, and everyone's gifts haven't been reduced, so Jia Zhang will be even happier and proud of it. Jia Zhang will even blame the cook, saying that the cook cut corners and ate the food himself. I guess, in a more disgusting way, she will even ask the cook to pay compensation. I say this cook is Brother Zhuzi, she will definitely do the same, but if it's someone else, it's hard to say."

He Yuzhu was so angry that he said he would never go, not even to the banquet. Xu Damao nodded and said, "Haozi, you are worthy of being like this. You can guess everything."

Jing Hao replied: "It's possible that I'm just guessing, don't take it seriously."

He Yuzhu asked, "Haozi, you haven't told me why I refused to help Jia Jia prepare the full moon wine. Tell me quickly, it will be dark soon and you have to go back soon."
