Chapter 8 Settling Accounts with He Yuzhu

Before Wang Gensheng could finish his words, he was slapped twice in the face.

It was He Yushui who did it. She reached out and patted Wang Gensheng on the head, saying, "Who are you calling your wife? Who are you asking to think with your feet?"

As soon as he said that, he slapped her. Wang Gensheng quickly put his hands up to cover his face and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, my wife, please stop hitting me."

After seeing the farce put on by these two people, He Yuzhu finally reacted; he stared at the two people with wide eyes without saying a word.

Wang Gensheng looked at He Yuzhu who was speechless, turned his head and said earnestly: "Let me ask you again, the lunch boxes you brought to her family are quite a lot, right? Two lunch boxes are enough for her old lady and three children to eat."

"Then how can she live like this? Can her family still have so much food?"

He Yuzhu slapped his head and said, "You asked me, I also want to know where she went. Maybe Sister Qin learned from Uncle San and knew that she had to plan her life carefully."

"You are talking nonsense, silly Zhuzi. Let me tell you, the Jia family, including the dead ghost, has seven members, and no one in the family can think so carefully."

"With your intelligence, I think you should hand over the financial power of the family to my wife in the future. Otherwise, you never know when the money in your pocket will be squeezed out by the widow Qin, and you won't even be able to pay the bride price when you marry a wife."

"That's not possible. Sister Qin wouldn't be that kind of person." He Yuzhu tried to defend Qin Huairu.

Wang Gensheng did not give him face, and said in a louder voice: "He Yuzhu, do you believe it? If this continues, within two years, Qin Huairu will dare to take your salary directly from the factory?"

"Within five years, she will drive He Yushui out of this family. Within ten years, she will even seize your house and use it to marry her son Jia Banggeng."

"Kick you out of the house too. Then, you, He Yuzhu, will have to be like Uncle Yi and find someone else to take care of you in your old age."

He Yushui whispered behind him: "Why?"

Wang Gensheng turned around and glared at her, then whispered, "Your brother has no descendants!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, defeating He Yushui instantly.

There was a gurgling sound, and He Yushui hurriedly hugged her stomach and cried, "No, I have to go out."

After saying that, without waiting for the two people to react, he hurriedly ran to the public toilet outside. He Yuzhu was so criticized that he couldn't think straight for a while.

He was still thinking: Qin Huairu's family must be living in such a tight spot, she always comes to ask for help. If he, He Yuzhu, doesn't help, the neighbors will easily point fingers at her if the news gets out.

Is there anything wrong with He Yuzhu doing this?

Wang Gensheng stepped forward and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, saying, "Look at our courtyard. The second uncle's family also has one person working, raising three children and the second aunt. Do they need help from others?"

"The second uncle is a seventh-level worker. He has a higher salary and his family is not in any difficulty. For the same situation, take a look at the third uncle's family."

"Although they are very careful with their money, they have lived that simple life for so many years, and I haven't heard that they have come to ask anyone for help, right? Aren't those three children now grown up?"

"Look at the old Jia family. Starting from the old Jia, they often asked the old Yi family, my family, and your family for help. Later, he died, and it was Jia Dongxu who often asked the old Yi family for help and came to our family for help."

"Jia Dongxu died again, and you often brought two lunch boxes to her house. Now Qin Huairu often comes to our house to borrow noodles, oil, and salt. What else can you say that Qin Huairu hasn't borrowed from her?"

He Yuzhu's mind went blank after hearing this, but he still didn't want to believe that Qin Huairu was that kind of person. Wang Gensheng continued:

"The third uncle's monthly salary is 27 yuan, which is enough to support a family of five, including three half-grown children. As the saying goes, the half-grown children will eat their fathers to death. Even so, they can make a living flexibly and will not easily ask for help from others."

"Look at Qin Huairu. The three children in her family combined cannot even match what Yan Jiecheng can eat. Qin Huairu earns 23 yuan a month, and she is supported by the old Yi family, and you still bring lunch boxes to her family."

"It's been less than half a month and she has no money at all? She comes to our house to borrow money again. Where did she put her things? I think Qin Huairu is just sucking your blood." Wang Gensheng gave the final conclusion.

"It was her mother-in-law who took away her salary." He Yuzhu quickly refuted on Qin Huairu's behalf.

Wang Gensheng raised his hand to stop He Yuzhu from speaking, holding up five fingers and saying, "Let's assume that the monthly food allowance is five yuan. Corn flour is seven cents per pound, and Chinese cabbage is one cent per two pounds."

"How much cornmeal can you buy with five dollars? Have you ever calculated it?"

He Yuzhu shook his head blankly. Wang Gensheng stretched out his finger, put it in front of He Yuzhu and said:

"71 jin, let's assume it's 70 jin. They need to eat nearly 2 jin a day, plus your two lunch boxes. Do you think the three children can eat jin a day? Or can Jia Zhang eat jin a day?"

"Qin Huairu eats directly in the factory cafeteria, and you even bring her lunch box. Where did her family go? Let me tell you this, her family may not have bought noodles this month! They didn't spend a penny."

Here, Wang Gensheng was preaching to He Yuzhu.

He Yushui, who was suffering from diarrhea, came back and stretched out his hand to pull Wang Gensheng's ear. He asked loudly: "What on earth did you give me to drink? I have run several times this morning."

Wang Gensheng quickly covered his ears and begged He Yushui for mercy: "Wife, wife, please let go, my ears are broken, broken!"

He Yushui let go of her hands, pinched her waist, and angrily questioned Wang Gensheng: "Tell me, what made me run so many times?"

Reaching out and rubbing his ears, Wang Gensheng said weakly: "The drink you were given must be good stuff. Don't you feel energetic all over? Don't you feel that your skin has become whiter?"

Listening to Wang Gensheng's words, He Yushui looked at her face in a small mirror and said, "I have diarrhea and my face has turned pale. It's all your fault!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu was still in a dilemma, Wang Gensheng said with a smile: "You should quickly run to your sister Qin's house and listen to the wall. Maybe you can get some information."

"Am I that kind of person? How could I eavesdrop on a widow's house? If people tell others about it, wouldn't they laugh at me to death?" He Yuzhu said hurriedly, shaking his head.

He Yuzhu couldn't save face, but He Yushui, as a little girl, didn't care about those things.

After exchanging glances with Wang Gensheng, he hurried out the door, hid under the window of Qinhuai Rujia, and listened carefully.

"You are the daughter-in-law of my Jia family! I don't care who you go out with; but you must remember your identity. I have to remind you, Qin Huairu, don't bring back any bastard for me."

Qin Huairu also resented her mother-in-law.

She said with a frown and rolled her eyes, "If you hadn't been holding the family's money tightly, why would I have shown my face outside? Letting those stinky men take advantage of me, isn't it just to give you something to eat?"
