Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

Even though the old lady of the Zhang family was very strong, Jia Zhang was not afraid of her. She just would not provoke her easily unless there was something important to do. However, she would not hesitate to do so if there was anything that required confrontation.

She was the oldest person in the yard, Mrs. Long. Although she spoke politely, she was not very afraid in her heart. What could Mrs. Long do to her?

At most you can say a few words to her or scold her a few times. You won't lose any money or property, but you will lose some face. She doesn't care about these.

In this year, she felt that it was worth losing some face just to have a meal of meat. Besides, if a fight really came to a head, she wouldn't be the only one to lose face, the Zhang family wouldn't feel good either.

After passing through the corridor, she entered the front yard and continued walking forward.

At this time, Qin Huairu stopped and stood still in the shadow corner of the corridor, watching her mother-in-law move forward.

She decided to stay here, as it was relatively secluded, yet she could see and hear what was happening over there.

If the mother-in-law can get the meat and return victorious, then everything will be fine. If she can't get the meat and makes a fuss, she can intervene at any time.

Jia Zhang quickly came to Zhang Jialiang's door. Without any hesitation, she started knocking on the door.

"Is Sister Shujuan home?"

Jia Zhang was also quite shrewd and cunning. She went straight to Zhang Jialiang's mother, Wang Shujuan. She felt that it was meaningless to talk directly to the younger generations, so it would be more appropriate to talk directly to their mother.

If you look for the elders of the Zhang family, there is actually Zhang Jialiang's grandmother, but she will not take the initiative to look for the old lady of the Zhang family. This old lady is quite strong, so it is better not to provoke her if possible.

But Wang Shujuan is different. Having lived in this compound for so many years, Jia Zhang has a relatively good understanding of Wang Shujuan's character.

Knowing that she has a gentle personality and is easy to talk to, maybe if I say a few nice words to her and then play a pitiful role, I might be able to achieve my goal.

If we could borrow some meat, it would be good for everyone. If we couldn't get what we wanted, it would be easier to deal with Wang Shujuan. Although she couldn't say that she had the upper hand, she would probably have the upper hand. So after she knocked on the door, she called Wang Shujuan directly.

Zhang Jialiang's mother Wang Shujuan felt a little annoyed when she heard Jia Zhang outside the door calling her name directly. She really disliked people like Jia Zhang and didn't like dealing with her. Having lived in the courtyard for such a long time, Wang Shujuan had not said much to Jia Zhang and would avoid contact with her if possible.

She glanced at her second daughter Zhang Jiani, then nodded, meaning that she should let Zhang Jiani go and deal with it. If she could send the person away, then she would send him away. If not, she would come forward again. She didn't want to face Jia Zhang directly.

When Zhang Jiani saw her mother asked her to open the door, she stood up and went straight to the front door of her house and gently pushed it open to a certain angle.

"It's Aunt Jia! What's the matter?"

"It's nothing serious. I'm looking for your mom. It's a small matter!"

"We're having dinner at home. There are so many people in our family and there's not enough space for everyone to sit. Even if you come, there's no place to sit. How about waiting for my mom to finish her meal and then go find my aunt?"

Zhang Jiani naturally knew the purpose of Jia Zhang's coming. She said this to see if she could try to send Jia Zhang away directly. The result was obvious. This was impossible.

“It’s okay!

You guys eat yours, it's not a big deal, you can just eat while I talk.

Why, you won't let me in?"

Jia Zhang's attitude was very firm. She believed that she must get through the door today. What would happen if she couldn't even get through the door?

If the second girl from the Zhang family really didn't let her in, then she would start making a fuss, and she would have a reason to say that her family had no manners.

When she came to her house to talk about something, she was not even allowed to enter the door, and the adults did not show up. They just let a little girl send her away. If that were really the case, then she would be right and it would not be excessive for her to make a fuss.

The result disappointed her, as Zhang Jiani did not stop her.

"In that case, Aunt Jia, please come in first! My mother eats quickly, so she should be done soon."

After saying this, Zhang Jiani opened the door a little wider to let Jia Zhang enter the room.

After Jia Zhang entered the Zhang family's room, she saw a table in the middle of the room. On the table was the Zhang family's dinner for the day. There was indeed some meat, but the quantity was not much, just a small bowl placed in front of the old lady of the Zhang family.

The old lady ate slowly in small bites. Apart from the small bowl of meat, the rest was some cornmeal porridge, cornmeal steamed bread and a small amount of pickles.

Wang Shujuan was eating cornmeal porridge and munching on steamed buns with pickles. The fourth girl in their family was also eating the cornmeal buns and drinking the cornmeal porridge like her mother.

Jia Zhang was somewhat disapproving of what she saw. Of course, she wouldn't believe it, as she knew it was just a superficial phenomenon.

However, the Zhang family had prepared very well, as if they knew she was coming, and they only put a little bit of food on the table. But she would never believe that just such a small bowl of meat could not stew out such a strong aroma.

Based on her many years of experience in eating meat, she definitely stewed a big pot of meat. And not just one pot, the rabbit meat and fish were stewed separately. She was confident that it would not be wrong, with her more than 50 years of experience in eating meat as a guarantee.

Since Jia Zhang had already entered the house, she certainly couldn't pretend not to see it. She still had to greet her. Wang Shujuan stood up and said briefly to Jia Zhang:

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family!

Is there a problem?

Why are you here at this time?

Wait a moment while I finish my meal. Jia Ni, get a stool for your aunt Jia to sit on."

After Wang Shujuan finished speaking, she sat down and quickly finished the steamed bread in her hand and the cornmeal porridge in the bowl.

After eating, Wang Shujuan quickly took a stool and sat near Jia Zhang.

"Sister-in-law Jia, just tell me what's going on!"

"Sister Shujuan, this is what happened. It's a bit embarrassing to talk about it, but there's really nothing we can do.

My daughter-in-law is pregnant. She has not been feeling well these past two days. When she went to the hospital, the doctor said that she was lacking in nutrition and needed some supplements.

But you also know the situation of our family. Dongxu is the only one who works and earns a salary to have food rations. My mother and I all have rural household registration and no food rations. We need to buy expensive food every month, and there is really no way to provide nutrition for my daughter-in-law.

Yesterday we wanted to ask people in the compound for help, but as you know, we understand that this is a difficult situation for everyone.

I recently heard that your son can hunt, and he is pretty good at fishing and hunting."

After saying this, Jia Zhang turned around and looked at Zhang Jialiang with a mysterious smile on her face. This smile scared Zhang Jialiang. Really, Jia Zhang's ghostly expression was too scary.
