Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Yi Zhonghai looked up at the old lady and spoke stiffly.

"I can't care so much now. The Jia family has taken more than 100 yuan from my family in the past few months. If I don't think of a solution, my family will slowly be drained out by the Jia family."

"Jia Zhang's appetite is growing."

"There are only a few families in our courtyard who can satisfy the Jia family's appetite. If we don't plot against Sha Zhu, our own life will slowly become more and more difficult."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the aunt knew that this was the truth and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was a pity for the child Sha Zhu.

If she hadn't been in poor health and unable to give birth, she wouldn't have been able to help the Jia family so much. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke in a crying voice.

"Master, it's all my fault that I can't have children. It would be great if we had a child of our own."

"Okay, if you can't have a baby, then don't have one! I don't blame you. Hurry up and clean up and go cook!"

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai looked at the aunt with a guilty conscience. A few years ago, the fact that the aunt couldn't have children caused a lot of controversy in the hospital.

This word was spread secretly in the courtyard.

Originally, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to do this, but since the two hadn't had children after they got married, he went to the hospital for a check-up.

As a result, the doctor told Yi Zhonghai with regret that Yi Zhonghai's body was injured and he could not have a child.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was struck by lightning and was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. He secretly blamed himself for always going to the Eight Great Hutongs.

But the hypocritical Yi Zhonghai was afraid that if his story got out, his reputation would be ruined and the aunt would divorce him.

It just so happened that an old lady was diagnosed with heart disease, so Yi Zhonghai found this excuse and told the old lady that she could not have children.

In this era, influenced by feudal superstition, if a couple cannot have children, it is the woman's fault. So after Yi Zhonghai told Auntie, she never doubted it.

She felt guilty towards Yi Zhonghai for not being able to have children, and she followed Yi Zhonghai's orders 100% and never dared to compromise.

Intermediate Court

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang had been sitting at the door looking out, waiting for that idiot to come back.

After a while, Sha Zhu was seen coming back with two lunch boxes in his hands, and greeting the neighbors who were washing clothes by the sink.

Jia Zhang suddenly twisted her fat body and entered the house. She saw Qin Huairu holding Xiaodang in her arms, sitting on the kang and chatting with Dongxu.

He immediately opened his bloody mouth and spoke in a low voice.

"Huai Ru, I saw Sha Zhu come back with a lunch box in his hand. The lunch box is full. It must be the dishes he left for the banquet he prepared for someone. Go to his house and borrow some money, and bring the lunch box back."

When Qin Huairu heard this, she was happy in her heart, but she didn't dare show it on her face. She knew that Jia Dongxu didn't like Sha Zhu, and if she showed it obviously, Dongxu would definitely be angry.

So he asked Jia Dongxu in an awkward manner.

"Dongxu, I don't think this is a good idea! As a married person, it's not appropriate for me to go to Shazhu's house. If people see me, they will talk about me."

Jia Dongxu had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Jia Zhang was not polite and spoke loudly without caring whether Jia Dongxu looked ugly or not.

"Huai Ru, don't worry about him. Put this money-losing thing down and go quickly. I'm afraid that Sha Zhu and the others will eat all the food soon."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu did not dare to delay and quickly put down Xiaodang and went out.

She arrived outside He Yuzhu's house, gathered her hair, and shouted at the door.

"Is Zhuzi at home? I'm your sister Qin, and I need your help with something."

He Yuzhu had just put down his lunch box and was sitting in the living room to rest. He had taken a big job today and earned 5 yuan by helping someone with the banquet. He also left two boxes of food for himself, one plate of braised pork and one plate of scrambled eggs.

I'm feeling very happy and plan to have a drink in the evening to reward myself.

When He Yuzhu heard Sister Qin's voice, his heart felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.

During this period, Shazhu was very happy. Sister Qin, whom he had been thinking about day and night, would come to help him clean the house and wash clothes at any time. It was all thanks to the uncle.

I was so grateful to the old man in my heart.

"Sister Qin, come in! I just got back."

Qin Huairu walked into the room, twisting her waist, and saw Shazhu sitting on a chair to rest. She quickly found a seat nearby and stared at He Yuzhu with her beautiful eyes.

When He Yuzhu saw Qin Huairu's charming eyes, pretty face, and attractive figure, his saliva was about to flow out, and he swallowed unconsciously.

Qin Huairu was very proud to see that Sha Zhu was completely bewitched by her. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she glanced at Sha Zhu with a seductive look.

However, thinking about having to borrow money next, the expression on his face changed quickly. His brows were furrowed, and he forced a smile on his face. He kept entwining his hands, and sat there with his head down, not saying a word.

He Yuzhu felt a little pain in his heart when he saw Qin Huairu's expression and actions. Was she bullied by her mother-in-law again?

He opened his mouth and asked quickly.

"Sister Qin, what's wrong with you? Tell me if you have anything to say and I will definitely help you."

Qin Huairu didn't say anything, but she wrapped her hands around each other faster, and her eyes were already a little red.

Sha Zhu suddenly couldn't hold it anymore and stood up suddenly.

"Sister Qin, did Aunt Zhang bully you again? I'll go talk to her."

Qin Huairu quickly grabbed Sha Zhu's arm, pulled him back, and spoke with her cherry lips.

"Zhu Zi, my mother-in-law didn't bully me. It's because we have no food to eat at home, but Bang Geng still wants to eat meat. It's all because I, as a mother, am incompetent."

After saying this, her eyes gradually turned red and tears slid down her cheeks like crystal dewdrops.

Sha Zhu felt very distressed when he saw Qin Huairu's current state. He patted his chest and said.

"Hey, Sister Qin, I thought it was something else! It's embarrassing for you like this."

"It just so happens that I made 5 yuan today. I'll give it to you first. I also brought back two boxes of vegetables. I'll take them back later so that Banggeng can replenish his body. Children need to eat more meat."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, I knew that my goal had been achieved.

But if Qin Huairu wants to keep this long-term meal ticket, she has more tricks than just these.

It seemed that she just saw her hand, still holding He Yuzhu's arm, and quickly let go of it, a blush appeared on her cheeks. She nodded and lowered her head slightly.

Said quietly.

"Isn't this bad!"

Seeing Qin Huairu's actions and the expression on her face, He Yuzhu felt itchy and a surge of blood rushed to his heart. He subconsciously took out money from his pocket and stuffed it into Qin Huairu's hand.

But He Yuzhu did not let go of Qin Huairu's hand and kept holding it.
