Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

Second Aunt added:

"If Yi Zhonghai hadn't done this, we wouldn't have been treated like this!" The other women also nodded in agreement:

"That's right!"

Seeing that everyone in the compound was hostile to him, Yi Zhonghai felt helpless.

He had been working hard to build his reputation, but he didn't expect it would be destroyed in an instant. He felt that his life was meaningless.

But I understand that it is not appropriate to quarrel with these people now. Let them vent for a while.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to go back with the help of crutches, but how could someone like Jia Zhang let him leave easily?

"Master, you are the boss of our compound. It's not appropriate for you to leave like this, right?" Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang helplessly and asked:

"What do you want?"

Jia Zhang replied:

"We don't ask you to do anything, but we have to solve the problem of food rations for everyone, right?" Yi Zhonghai asked back:

"Aren't we all eating in the communal dining hall now? How else are we going to solve this problem? Do you want to have separate kitchens and eat separately?"

Jia Zhang was stunned when she heard this. She did not expect Yi Zhonghai to respond like this. She said to Yi Zhonghai:

"What do you think? I didn't say that. Now everyone has a very limited ration, and there is also a portion of fine grains. In the past, everyone exchanged fine grains for coarse grains.

But now because of you, we can no longer do this, this issue must be made clear, right? "

Yi Zhonghai stared at Jia Zhang and said:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, in the past, when my family had extra quota, we would give it to you. You know me well, right?"

When Dongxu was still here, you, Qin Huairu and the two children did not have rations. After Dongxu left, Qin Huairu got a city hukou and got rations.

But what about you? What do you have?

What right do you have to say here that you are going to eat so much tomorrow? It’s everyone’s share, and now you are still trying to sow discord?

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, everyone looked at her. Indeed, although every meal was not delicious, the steamed corn bread was still edible.

And this Jia Zhang eats the most every day! Jia Zhang said confidently:

"Humph, my Qin Huairu, Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua all have rations, can't I eat their share?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said coldly:

"Huh, you? Ask the people in the compound, whether adults or children, how many of them can get enough to eat if they have rations?

The rations allocated by the state only ensure that people don’t starve to death, how can they possibly ensure that people are well fed?

You not only eat your own meals every day, but also take some away. Now you are still saying this. Do you think everyone is a fool? " Jia Zhang muttered in her heart. If she didn't say this, everyone would really become a fool.

You are smart, why do you say it out loud?

"Yes, if Yi Zhonghai hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have noticed it. Jia Zhangshi, you don't have any rations, why do you eat so much?

You should go back to the countryside, you know? Now the countryside is a commune, and everyone eats from the same pot. If you eat more here, everyone will have less to eat! "

Jia Zhang's ungrateful appearance made Auntie very angry. She continued:

"Humph, not only that, every time she eats the most, she takes a few away after eating, saying that she will eat them in the evening. When everyone has opinions, she will make a scene, and everyone doesn't want to bother with her.

But now she's going even further! Everyone is starving because of her!"

After hearing what Auntie One said, Auntie Two said, "Yes, that's why!"

Jia Zhang listened to their words and said:

"You are fools, this is all caused by Yi Zhonghai!" Yi Zhonghai said:

"I'm telling the truth. Because of me, people can't go out to work. I was wrong, I admit it. But I've been punished, my legs were broken.

This is our private matter, but we eat together in our compound and everyone has a ration. You have nothing, but you eat more and take more, you are lazy and don't work.

Why do you eat so much?"

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the third aunt said:

"Yes, this is our business, not yours. You eat too much and there are no rations. Everyone is starving because of you. You should go back to the country!"

The second aunt said:

"That's right, go back to the countryside!" said the aunt viciously:

"Yes, I will send you back, otherwise everyone will starve because of you!" Jia Zhang didn't expect it to turn out like this. She said to everyone:

"You, you, you..." the aunt continued:

"When everyone comes back, we will call a meeting of the whole hospital and send you back. Otherwise, if she eats one more bite, everyone else will have one less bite!"

After hearing what a middle-aged woman said, the people in the yard suddenly became emotional: "That's right!"

"Yes, let's go back!" "Go back to my hometown!"

The noise was getting louder and louder, and Qin Huairu was also woken up. She pushed open the door and tried to find out what was going on.

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu appear, she felt like she had found someone to rely on. She quickly walked up to Qin Huairu and said:

"Huai Ru, you finally came out. You have to explain to everyone that they want to send me back to my hometown. I really don't want to go back. Life there will ruin me!"

After marriage, Jia Zhang never did housework, and returning to the countryside meant she had to work.

No work, no food!

Qin Huairu was confused for a moment, why did they suddenly send Jia Zhang back to her hometown? Even though she actually agreed with this in her heart, she still asked:

"What's going on? I really don't understand!" Everyone explained:

"Your mother-in-law doesn't have a city hukou!"

"Yes, if you are not a city resident, there will be no quota supply!"

"You should know how much food she consumes every day."

“We all rely on the public canteen for food, and those who don’t have a quota cannot enjoy the food.”

"Yes, and she often makes unreasonable demands. We have long felt that we should send her back home."

"Yes, send her back home!"

Qin Huairu listened to everyone's words and finally understood the reason for the matter. The question about Jia Zhang's identity was raised, which made Qin Huairu feel relieved to some extent. But at the same time, she still requested:

"My mother-in-law won't do any work when she goes back. This is tantamount to sending her life away. Please, don't let her go back."

A middle-aged woman who was clearly no fool responded rather grimly:

"Qin Huairu, have you ever thought that what you said is unfair to us? Why should others provide food and drink for your mother-in-law for free? Should our children be allowed to starve?"

Another middle-aged woman chimed in:

"That's right. Your mother-in-law's life is important. Doesn't ours matter?"

At this moment, Qin Huairu's complex feelings almost turned into a smile, but she restrained her expression and defended herself:

"No, no, that's definitely not what I meant!" The middle-aged woman who spoke first calmly pointed out:

"Qin Huairu, you should also be aware of the current situation. The country is constantly reducing the amount of food distributed, and even the children don't have enough to eat.

If the current situation continues, your mother-in-law can only share the quota between you and the child. But the child's share is very limited.

If this is true, your children may not be able to continue to eat here in the future. Do you think this is what you want to see?" Faced with this, Qin Huairu said sadly:

"Auntie, how can you say that? You are starving my children to death. Their share is not enough to support my mother-in-law as an adult.

If the children don’t have enough to eat, their lives will be in danger!” Another elderly woman echoed:

“But if the food quota that should have belonged to your children is not left to them, others will face hunger. Is it that only your children’s lives are precious, while others’ lives are not worth mentioning?” Another woman nodded.

"So, just like what Auntie said, if you use the food rations at home to support your grandmother, then your whole family will starve. Food is so precious nowadays!"

The three aunts said:

"Qin Huairu, think it over carefully. Don't say we're forcing you. In this day and age, no one wants their loved ones to starve to death!"

The second aunt agreed: "That's right!"

Others followed suit and shouted: That’s right, we don’t want to starve to death either!

"Qin Huairu, think it over carefully, make your own decision, and tell us an acceptable plan. We have no obligation to raise your children or elderly!"

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang in embarrassment. Seeing Qin Huairu like this, Jia Zhang was so angry that her face turned red: "Qin Huairu, don't even think about it, it's absolutely impossible!"

Looking at Qin Huairu's appearance, Qin Huairu said firmly:

"Mom, why don't I give you my job and take my three children back to my hometown. Even if I can only eat grass roots and tree bark, I will raise them. After all, this job was earned by your son.

If you don't want to leave, then you take over the job and I'll take the kids back to the countryside!"

Everyone present knew that if Qin Huairu took the children back, they would most likely starve to death. Everyone knew how difficult life was in the countryside.

When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu's words, she collapsed to the ground:

"My son, why did you leave so early, leaving me to suffer alone! I want to send your wife away, your mother is so pitiful!" Looking at Jia Zhang's appearance, Qin Huairu explained helplessly:

"Mom, please don't say that. When did I ever say I would send you back to the countryside? I meant that I would take the children back with me and let you stay here to work, so that you can earn money, become a city resident, and have relief food.

When conditions are right in the future, I will come back to pick you up. This is what I really mean."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she shouted angrily:

"Qin Huairu, you are such a vicious woman. Dongxu was so good to you back then, but now you want to take your children back to the countryside to starve. The three children will surely die, and the Jia family will be extinct.

Even if I die, I can't let the Jia family's bloodline be cut off!"

Looking at Jia Zhang's attitude, it was clear that she would never give up her grandson for her own sake. Qin Huairu said with tears in her eyes:

“There’s nothing I can do. After all, I want you to stay here, but one of us will starve to death anyway.
