Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

"Old Jia, please open your eyes. Someone is bullying us, an orphan and a widow. They are so heartless that they will not have a good death. Come down quickly and take them all away..."

Qin Huairu was very upset when she saw her mother-in-law doing this again.

This old guy calls for help regardless of day or night, whenever something happens.

It's okay during the day, but it's really creepy at night, it can scare people to death.

Jia Dongxu said impatiently: "Mom, stop arguing, we don't have to pay for the three hundred yuan."

Jia Zhang's howling stopped abruptly, and she raised her head and hummed:

"You promised to pay me back every month, do you dare to go back on your word?"

The old guy Lao Yi looks kind, but he is actually very sinister behind the scenes.

We have lived in the same courtyard for most of our lives, and we know each other very well. Who doesn’t know each other?

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai is not only the boss in the courtyard, but also an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill. He even has a say in front of the factory director.

Although Jia Zhang was throwing a tantrum in the courtyard, she was still a little afraid when facing the old man.

Jia Dongxu said: "I know what my master is thinking. He is now thinking about his retirement."

"Look at the entire courtyard. Who else can he find besides me?"

"If I don't pay you back, will he still carry me into the well?"

"Besides, I promised to pay him back a little every month, but I didn't say how much. At most I can pay him back one dollar a month."

"Son, you are absolutely right."

Jia Zhang happily got up from the ground, thought about it for a while, and felt that one dollar a month was still too much, so she said with a pained face:

"How about paying him ten cents a month? Old Yi's family has plenty of money anyway, and they don't need this dollar."

If she had not been afraid of Yi Zhonghai's anger, Jia Zhang would have proposed to pay back one cent every month. Of course, in her heart, it would be best not to pay back a penny.

"Mom, don't worry about this. I have my own ideas."

Jia Dongxu still knew the importance of the matter. If he dared to return a dime, Yi Zhonghai would definitely turn against him because it would be a humiliation to him.

Jia Zhang started scolding Su Rong again:

"Damn jinx, I think that girl surnamed Su is a jinx. Whoever gets involved with her will be unlucky. Not only did she kill her own parents, but Cao Guomin and his wife who adopted her were also killed by her..."

"Mom, keep quiet."

Qin Huairu was shocked when she saw her mother-in-law cursing Su Rong with vicious eyes.

"Su Rong is the orphan of a martyred family. Be careful that someone hears and arrests you."

"I'm so old now, what am I afraid of? Come and catch me if you can."

Jia Zhang stiffened her neck and spoke stubbornly, but she did not dare to curse again, and her voice became softer.

Qin Huairu secretly cursed her mother-in-law for being a big talker who only knew how to bully her, her daughter-in-law, at home, and would immediately back down when she met a tough guy.

After that, the three of them stopped talking and each thought about their own things.

Only Banggeng was eating the peach cakes without worry. In the end, he finished the whole bag of peach cakes and then burped.

Qin Huairu reacted and slapped her son in annoyance: "You are eating alone and don't even know to leave a piece for your parents. Aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death?"

Bang Geng said: "Mom, I thought you didn't like it."

"Mom doesn't have a mouth, how can she not like to eat."

Qin Huairu's words were not only to educate her son, but also to her mother-in-law.

Jia Zhang was too much of a eater at home, and she always wanted to eat alone. She ignored everyone except her son and eldest grandson.

Jia Zhang knew that her daughter-in-law was pointing a finger at her, and she cursed, "Dongxu, look at this greedy daughter-in-law you married. She actually wants to compete with the old and the young for food. She is such a shameless person."

Qin Huairu immediately wiped away her tears in grievance.

"Who are you crying for? The Cao family kid is not here now, so you don't have to pretend. It's unlucky."

Jia Zhang has a very sharp tongue.

It was obvious that she had discussed it with Jia Dongxu, and then forced Qin Huairu to cry and act pitiful in front of Cao Yue. Now she is insinuating that her daughter-in-law is not faithful to her husband.

Although Qin Huairu was a scheming bitch, she cried even harder when Jia Zhang said this to her in front of her children.

"Shut up! Are you annoying me? I have to go to work tomorrow!"

Jia Dongxu cursed impatiently.

Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu who was crying silently and asked:

"Dongxu, does this mean that we won't be able to enjoy the wine and meat brought by the silly boy from the Cao family in the future?"

Recently she has become picky about food, eating white flour and pork every day. If she is asked to eat steamed corn bread and plain cabbage, she will not be able to bear it.

Jia Dongxu sighed, feeling even more upset.

If I had known this, I would have spent less.

He used part of the money he borrowed from Cao Yue to pay off his gambling debts, and used the rest to buy some flour and pork at a high price in the pigeon market, as well as some meat and wine tickets.

He did not cheat his master Yi Zhonghai just now, and the money had already been spent by him.

Jia Dongxu now finally understands the truth that "it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."

Qin Huairu originally wanted to tell Jia Dongxu that Cao Yue was a little strange today, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it out loud.

After marrying into the Jia family for so many years, she has already figured out the details of Jia Zhang and her son.

They are two complete idiots!

……

Cao Yue walked on the streets of the 1960s with his hands in his pockets, looking at the almost monotonous colors around him, as if in a dream.

Finally, he slowly walked into a grocery store.

When Cao Yue saw the sign that read "It is strictly forbidden to beat customers without reason", he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

If this happened in the future, it would definitely become a check-in spot for internet celebrities.

Because it was afternoon, there were many customers in the grocery store. Cao Yue waited in line for a long time before he could squeeze in front of the counter.

Cao Yue looked at the dazzling array of goods and found that there were many varieties.

"Hey, are you dumb? Tell me what you want to buy. If you don't want to buy anything, just go away and don't waste my time."

The salesperson had a cold face and looked impatient.

Cao Yue was about to get angry when he heard this, but then he remembered the warning sign he had just seen that read "It is strictly forbidden to beat customers without reason", so he could only swallow his anger.

With his current strength, if they really had an argument, he would definitely not be able to beat the big and strong saleswoman.

"I want half a pound of that cake."

Cao Yue pointed to the cake on the counter.

"Where's the ticket? Where's the money?"

The salesperson stared and held out his hand.

"Give."

Cao Yue handed over the ticket and money.

The salesperson took it, looked at it carefully, turned to the counter, took half a pound of cake and placed it on the counter.

Cao Yue picked up the cake and asked the salesperson:

"Comrade, are there any items here that don't require a ticket?"

"No, let's go after we finish shopping."

"Give me another pack of peonies."

Cao Yue handed over the cigarette coupons and money.

The salesperson didn't know whether she had taken some drugs or had reached menopause. She said angrily:

"Next time you buy something, tell me clearly when you do it. How can I do my job if everyone is like you?"

What could Cao Yue do? Fortunately, he was a salesman in his previous life, and his temper had long been worn down by social reality. He cursed in his heart but put on an apologetic smile on his face.

Seeing that Cao Yue didn't dare to talk back, the salesperson proudly handed him the cigarette.

Cao Yue left the counter, sighing in his heart. With such service attitude, if it happened in the future, the shop would have to close within three days.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at the middle-aged woman and remembered her appearance clearly.

Next time I see her somewhere else, I will definitely beat her up.

After coming out of the grocery store, Cao Yue wandered around aimlessly.

But there were no entertainment activities in that era, and after walking for a while, Cao Yue lost interest.

After returning home, it was gradually getting dark.

For dinner, Cao Yue cooked a pot of white porridge and just had a bite.

Cao Yue woke up before dawn the next day.

In order to have a happy life in the future, he decided to get up early and exercise.
