Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

Qin Huairu returned home, sat down and drank some water as if nothing had happened, then lay down on the bed and took a nap, as if nothing had happened.

The sun gradually moved to the end of the horizon, and the smell of fireworks slowly drifted in the yard. Qin Huairu got up and went into the kitchen to get busy. It was not that Qin Huairu was kind and loving to her little granddaughter, but she really didn't want to eat burnt paste anymore, so she had no choice but to cook for herself.

While Qin Huairu was busy in the kitchen, she warned Jia Shuya who was making a fire: "Little thing, you are not allowed to touch the food at home from now on, and you are not allowed to cook for yourself. If I find that you are disobedient, I will not beat you or scold you, but I will drive you out of this house. Do you understand?"

Jia Shuya was only about 3 years old, how could she understand so much? In the past, if she didn't cook porridge, she would be scolded by Jia Zhangshi. Now this person who had been in the house for a short time said that she couldn't make porridge anymore. With such a small head, how could she understand? She stared at Qin Huairu in a daze, not knowing why.

Today, Qin Huairu got so much money and cleared out the things that were in the way. She felt very happy and didn't pay too much attention to Jia Shuya. She was working and thinking about her future life.

When Banggeng got home from get off work, Qin Huairu brought steamed bread and cornmeal paste to the table. Banggeng ate and drank happily as if he had returned to his childhood. Jia Shuya saw that the adults were having dinner but there was no portion for her, so she consciously moved a chair to the kitchen and planned to get food from the pot herself.

While eating, Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Shuya with disgust and said in a bad tone, "Little thing, don't move your chair. From now on, you can't get food from the pot by yourself. You have to wait until our adults have finished their meal and the adults give you food before you can eat. If no one gives you food, you can go to the yard to drink tap water."

When Jia Shuya heard this unfamiliar person say this, she didn't understand much of what he meant. She blinked and looked at Banggeng. Banggeng didn't even have time to eat, so how could he care about her? However, if Banggeng really had that mentality and could take care of his daughters, his wife Shi Meixiang wouldn't have died of exhaustion.

Jia Shuya watched the two of them eating and drinking at the dinner table. Although she was scared, she was hungry, so she moved her chair habitually. She wanted to get something to eat for herself. Qin Huairu watched her granddaughter's actions and did not stop her. She stared at Jia Shuya coldly while eating and drinking. When Jia Shuya finally moved the chair to the stove and was about to climb onto the chair to get food, she put down the food in her hand, quickly entered the kitchen, picked up Jia Shuya and beat her. While beating Jia Shuya, she said sarcastically: "You are so young and can't even move a chair, but you actually want to move a chair to get food for yourself. Aren't you afraid of being scalded to death..."

Banggeng had seen his sisters being beaten and scolded since he was young. In his hometown, his daughters were all taken care of by Shi Meixiang. After Shi Meixiang passed away, it was his grandmother Jia Zhang who tortured his daughters. All he thought about every day was eating and sleeping. As long as he was not beaten, he didn't know much.

After being beaten and scolded, Jia Shuya became obedient. Like a stray cat, she curled up secretly in the corner of the kitchen. In her young heart, she was "thinking about her mother, thinking about her sisters..."

After dinner, Qin Huairu gathered the little cornmeal paste she and Banggeng had left over and put it on the ground. She loudly ordered Jia Shuya, "Little thing, hurry up and eat. I have to wash the dishes after you finish. You can't touch the dishes at home in the future. You are still too young to wash them clean..."

Jia Shuya watched them eating and drinking on the table. She was already hungry and greedy. She didn't care about anything else. She quickly picked up the bowl on the ground and licked the food. Qin Huairu looked at Jia Shuya's eating and thought of her two daughters. Her eyes were full of disgust and resentment.

After Qin Huairu finished her work in the kitchen, she washed herself, and then built a simple bed for Banggeng in the outer room, and hurried Banggeng, who was clinging to her, to sleep. She lay on the comfortable big bed in the inner room, thinking about her future happy life, and fell asleep beautifully.

Banggeng was full and went to bed with his mother by his side, not even knowing how to wash himself. How could he care about his daughter Jia Shuya? Jia Shuya curled up beside the only firewood pile that could provide some warmth in the quiet Jia family, missing her mother and sisters in her heart. Slowly, sleepiness brought her into a world without light.

Dreams are a magical power, it seems to be the continuation of life, making people wander between illusion and reality. That night, some people's dreams come true, some people are confused and helpless, and some people have nightmares... In her dream, Jia Shuya "has a loving mother, a naughty second sister pestering her to play, and a crybaby little sister crying in the room..."

The next day, after Banggeng went to work, Qin Huairu took Jia Shuya to the street office. She told the staff of the street office that "her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, had gone crazy and had been sent back to her hometown; her son, Banggeng, went to work at the steel mill. She demanded that the head of the Jia family be changed to Banggeng, and at the same time, that her granddaughter, Jia Shuya, be registered as a resident of the Jia family."

Many of the staff members of the subdistrict office knew the famous Qin Huairu. They saw that she came to ask for an explanation for her son and granddaughter. With ordinary people's thinking, they also expressed understanding. They replied to Qin Huairu, "The situation of the Jia family is more complicated. The subdistrict office needs to contact the steel rolling mill and the commune where the Jia family is from. Once the actual situation is clear, we will give her a clear answer."

Although communication was not well developed in those days, people of that era were diligent in doing things. No one would just stay in the office to waste time as soon as they got to work. Everyone would go to the grassroots and among the masses. Within three days, after verifying the situation, the subdistrict office found the Jia family and asked them to bring their old household registration books, grain and oil relationship books, etc. to the subdistrict office for renewal. They also clearly informed them: "The head of the household can be changed to Banggeng's, but Banggeng's wife has a rural household registration. According to the policy: his daughter can only be a rural household registration and cannot be included in the Jia family's urban household registration book."

The next day, Qin Huairu asked someone to ask for leave for Banggeng, and took him to the street office to update his household registration, grain and oil, etc. As soon as the Jia family's new household registration, grain and oil books, etc. were obtained, she wanted to transfer her, Xiaodang, and Xiaohuahua's household registration, grain and oil, etc. to the Jia family. The street office staff saw that they were mother and son, and Banggeng himself was willing, so they handled it for them on the spot.

Qin Huairu held a brand new household registration booklet, grain and oil booklet, etc. in her hands, and for the first time she felt like the master of her own destiny. After she sent Banggeng into the gate of the steel mill, she turned around and went to find the one-eyed Liu Guangtian who was undergoing labor reform in the cowshed. During the "Literary Movement" period, many families of intellectuals, cadres, and various families that endangered society broke up, let alone Liu Guangtian and Qin Huairu. Liu Guangtian did not do much effective resistance, and the two went to the Civil Affairs Department of the Street Office to complete the divorce procedures.

Everything went as Qin Huairu wished. Without any constraints, she happily went to the supply and marketing cooperative and generously bought a few pounds of potatoes and some cabbages. She hummed the obscene tunes she learned from the sisters in the "Eight Great Hutongs", twisted her hips, and returned to the Jia family refreshed.

These days, Xiaodang and Huaihua had food from Yi Zhonghai, so they didn't have to go out to steal or cheat. They just had to make Yi Zhonghai happy at night. They had nothing to do during the day, so they kept wandering around Qin Huairu's rental house, thinking about watching Qin Huairu's performance. They didn't see Qin Huairu for several days. They wandered around aimlessly and accidentally wandered into the yard where the Jia family lived.

Xiaodang and Huaihua saw Qin Huairu walking freely in Jia's house. They couldn't help but enter the house out of curiosity and asked Qin Huairu doubtfully, "Mom, if you are here, the old witch will tear you apart..."
