Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

In that deep night, Xiaodang's heart-wrenching cries floated like a distant ghost, breaking the silent night and making people feel deeply irritated.

The fierce quarrel in the Jia family echoed in the courtyard like thunder, and the smell of gunpowder in the air almost spread to every corner.

At Yan Fugui's house in the front yard, Liu Guangxiu listened to the noise coming from the Jia family from time to time, which was like an imperial edict urging her to go to the Jia family.

She was worried about her sister Qin, whether she was being abused again; she was worried about Banggeng and Xiaodang, whom she regarded as her own nephews, whether they were being used as punching bags again.

Seeing Liu Guangxiu looking restless and worried, Yan Jiedi, who was pasting paper boxes and matchboxes with her, spoke up, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Just focus on pasting the paper boxes. If you can't finish the work tonight, I'll have to miss breakfast with you tomorrow morning."

Liu Guangxiu sighed, helplessly concentrating on pasting the paper box, and couldn't help but speed up the movement of his hands. Yes, finding a way to fill his stomach is the most important thing.

The newly married Liu Guangxiu fought against the Yan family's calculated lifestyle.

Liu Guangxiu started crying and went back to the Liu family. Aunt Lu Fenglian would patiently persuade Liu Guangxiu, "Guangxiu, this woman is married. Look at this courtyard, everyone is busy and working hard for the family's livelihood..."

Later, when I went back to the Liu family, Aunt Lu Fenglian immediately frowned and kept muttering in a gloomy tone: "As the old saying goes, 'a daughter who is married off is like water that has been poured out.' Now that your father knows that you are married, he has stopped sending you living expenses. Don't you know that he wants you to be self-reliant?"

"Whenever you lose your temper, you find an excuse to go back to the Liu family for free meals. What are you going to do with the Liu family that raised you?"

"The Liu family still has to maintain their dignity in the courtyard, but you just want to eat for free and hang around everywhere all day long."

"I've heard everything. Have you ever taken the initiative to wash dishes and pots for the Yan family? Have you ever washed the clothes for the whole family? Have you ever cleaned the house?"

"You're already married, but you still don't understand life?"

"If you get angry for no reason again next time, the Liu family will not welcome you."

...

After being warned by a middle-aged woman named Lu Fenglian, Liu Guangxiu no longer dared to find excuses to pick up scrap copper and iron around the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Sijiucheng Machinery Factory, etc.

Without the extra income, Liu Guangxiu no longer dared to go out and buy food secretly, and the funds in his small treasury were dwindling day by day.

Eating at the Yan family requires work. If you dare to take advantage of the situation, the Yan family will reduce the amount of food you eat.

Liu Guangxiu also went to her husband Yan Jiefang to complain, but in Yan Jiefang's eyes: if you want to eat, you have to work, this is a matter of course.

The only thing that made Liu Guangxiu feel comforted was that during the days when Yan Jiefang paid out salaries, the Yan family still treated her very well; even at night during those days, Yan Jiefang was especially gentle to her.

She also wanted to find He Yuzhu, but this so-called brother had already arranged a job for her, so what else could she ask for? She gave the job to her man, so could she say: I want to eat free meals, I want to hang out as I please...

After one contest after another, Liu Guangxiu slowly compromised: she stayed at Yan's house honestly, doing her handicrafts day and night...

Speaking of Jia Dongxu, he had a broken arm and although he had a cast on, he still needed to stay in the hospital for a week for observation.

Qin Huairu, who was accompanying Jia Dongxu, would return to the courtyard to get some clothes to change into, or ask Jia Zhang for some money to buy food.

In Qin Huairu's current eyes: Xiaodang is indeed a money-loser and is no longer in her eyes; every time she comes back and sees Banggeng clean and a little fatter than when she was there, she goes back to the hospital with peace of mind.

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu coming back, she still hoped that Qin Huairu would be able to wash clothes, cook for her, and do whatever she said as before.

But the reality is cruel. Every time Qin Huairu came back, she only washed her own and Banggeng's clothes. Even Jia Dongxu's spare clothes were thrown aside. She would take the things and ask for money and leave.

Jia Zhang also wanted to not pay, but if she didn't, Qin Huairu would not go to the hospital to serve Jia Dongxu. Thinking of her precious son, she couldn't bear to go to the hospital by herself, so she could only pay 5 cents or 1 yuan.

Without Qin Huairu's protection and love, Xiaodang naturally became Jia Zhang's punching bag.

Every time Qin Huairu left, Jia Zhang would find Xiaodang, drag him back to the Jia family and beat him. In Jia Zhang's eyes, Xiaodang was superfluous, and he was useless except for stealing food from her great grandson Banggeng and instigating Banggeng to do bad things for her.

During the few days that Qin Huairu accompanied Jia Dongxu in the hospital, Jia Zhangshi did not let Xiaodang sit at the table or eat a meal.

At first, when it was time for dinner, Xiaodang would sit there carefree, waiting for his meal, just like he used to.

What she didn't know was that Qin Huairu had always been the one serving her in the past, and would only eat as soon as she finished eating. Otherwise, according to Jia Zhang's nature, how could she let her eat enough?

It was the first meal when Qin Huairu was not at home. As soon as Xiaodang put her hand on the steamed bun, Jia Zhang opened it with chopsticks and slapped her in the face.

"The Jia family doesn't keep money-losing people. If you dare to grab food at the table again during mealtime, I will beat you to death." Jia Zhang cursed and pushed Xiaodang out of the Jia family.

These days, without Xiaodang snatching food from him, Crooked Neck Stick is very happy and eats freely.

Jia Zhang really loves this grandson, because he is the root of the Jia family.

"Although he is a little silly, he can still marry a country girl when he grows up with some money. After all, his mother only spent 10 yuan on the betrothal gift, and he came to the Jia family happily, and he can't be beaten or scolded to leave." Jia Zhang smiled as she thought about it, and looked at the silly Banggeng who was eating with loving eyes. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.

Although Banggeng was a little bit stupid, he always knew that his sister hadn't eaten. Every time he was almost done eating, he would take a steamed bun to play with Xiaodang and then give it to Xiaodang.

These days, Xiaodang is still full of energy and wandering around the courtyard with Banggeng's support, doing things that are hated by both humans and dogs.

That day, Xiaodang ate the steamed bread that Banggeng gave him. His eyes rolled around. He hadn't gone to Yijia for a few days, but Yi Zhonghai's fierce warning echoed in his mind, "If you come to my house to steal again and I find out, I will beat you to death and then ask the street office to kick you out of this courtyard."

Xiaodang led Banggeng and wandered from the front yard to the back yard. Either there was someone at home or the family was too poor.

Xiaodang, who couldn't find his target, could only take Banggeng back to the central courtyard and sit on the stone steps in front of the Jia family's house.

The west wing of the He family in the central courtyard is the He family's kitchen. Although the windows are closed, the lingering fragrance seems to emit an alluring light.

Looking at the aunts and grandmas in the yard, some were taking a nap, some were busy with housework, and the yard gradually became empty in the afternoon.

When Xiaodang saw that there was no one in the yard, she felt that she was fine and told Banggeng: "There are plenty of delicious food in the He family's kitchen.

Today we must bring all the delicious food from the He family’s kitchen back home.”

Banggeng swallowed his saliva and listened to Xiaodang's arrangements.

Xiaodang squatted down and let Banggeng step on her back to pry open the window of He's kitchen.

I don’t know if it was because his skills were not mature enough or because it was Banggeng’s first time to pry open the window and he was nervous, but he tried back and forth several times but couldn’t get the window open.

The guy standing on Xiaodang's back was trying to pry open the window with all his heart. Then, he heard a door creaking open from someone's house, and Xiaodang stood up and ran away as if by reflex.

Bang Geng was thrown to the ground, lying quietly on the bluestone floor of the corridor of the main house of the courtyard, with blood oozing from the back of his head...
