Qin Huairu's eyes almost popped out of her head in shock. I, the daughter-in-law, have not remarried, but you, the mother-in-law, have remarried.

It's Tiangang, who can I go to for justice?

When Qin Huairu saw that the house was in a mess, she knew that Jia Zhang had taken away all the private treasury, and she hated Jia Zhang even more.

You're living a good life, but you don't even leave some living expenses for your grandchildren.

Facts speak louder than words. Not only the two aunts said so, but there were also other people in the courtyard who saw the well-dressed Hu Lai staying in the Jia family for a long time.

He was holding several packets of snacks in his hands, and looked like he was here to propose marriage.

It seems that this was premeditated. Qin Huairu secretly cursed Jia Zhang as an old fox.

No matter how unbelievable Qin Huairu found it, she had to accept the current result. Fortunately, losing Jia Zhang was not a bad thing.

There is one less lazy person in the house, and I don’t have to give her 3 dollars every month.

Delicious.

Qin Huairu bought some white flour and steamed a few white buns to celebrate her survival.

After finally making it to the weekend, Yang Xue didn't have to go to class the next day, so He Lin and Yu Li strongly invited her to the courtyard.

A family of five is preparing to have a nice dinner together.

What to eat? He Lin was a little hesitant. These days, conditions are limited. Even if He Lin could get seafood such as abalone and lobster, he would not dare to eat them. It was really hard to explain.

Eating hotpot in this hot summer without air conditioning is simply a torture.

There are no new dishes when it comes to stir-fried food, and I’m tired of it.

I also eat various other kinds of meat frequently, but they are not fresh at all.

In the end, it was Yushui who suggested having another barbecue.

If you hadn't told me this, I wouldn't have remembered it. But when Yu Shui suggested this, He Lin's appetite was aroused.

The stove, skewers and seasonings from the last barbecue are all ready, so you can just get some lamb and pork belly and grill them.

The barbecue made quite a lot of noise, so He Lin asked Yu Shui to call Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng over, as they had free labor and would have been wasted it.

When Yu Shui went there, Yu Haitang specially emphasized that she must invite Ran Qiuye over, because they are sisters and should share the good and the bad.

When Xu Damao and his wife and Yan Jiecheng came over, He Lin assigned them specific tasks.

The ladies prepared the ingredients, cut the meat and skewered it, while Yan Jiecheng was responsible for setting up the stall and grilling.

Xu Damao was familiar with the supply and marketing cooperative, so He Lin asked him to find a place to get some bulk beer. There were no canned or bottled beer now, only bulk beer, which he could get in his own barrels. It was not easy to buy at ordinary times, so he needed to find connections to get the beer through channels.

The most famous beer in the city of 1915 is Shuanghesheng Five Star Beer, which has a history of half a century from to now.

He Lin went to the well outside the yard and fetched two buckets of ice-cold well water. He then took out a big watermelon from the space and threw it into the bucket to cool it down.

Everything was ready. He Lin fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan and lay comfortably on the recliner.

"Brother Lin, why are you so peaceful?"

"Yu Haitang, if you are uneducated, don't use random words. I mean comfort, not tranquility."

"Hehe, you found out. By the way, when I came back today, I heard from Auntie Three that Jia Zhang had remarried. I really want to know which warrior married Jia Zhang?"

"You ask me, who should I ask? This world has never lacked courageous people, it's just that you haven't met them yet."

"You really don't know?"

"Of course I don't know. If I knew, I might have stopped Jia Zhang. Without this old burden, Qin Huairu's life might have become a little better."

Yu Haitang was just a little skeptical. Just two days ago, Brother Lin said, "The mountain people have their own ingenious plans." It was really a coincidence that Jia Zhang remarried immediately.

"Forget it. I heard they got the marriage certificate. I asked my sister to go to the street office to check when she has time. How could she not know who she married?"

"Haitang, forget it. If you are really curious, just find a way to ask. I won't help you check it anyway. There are many things that are better not to know. It's really a waste of time."

Yu Haitang was speechless after being scolded by He Lin and Yu Li, and went to string the skewers in a huff.

I didn't expect that Hu Lai was so quick and efficient. He really lives up to his name.

He Lin silently gave Hu Lai a thumbs up in his heart.

Well, why not give Jia Zhang a thumbs up as well.

I wish you a happy marriage.

When Jia Zhang, full of longing, arrived at Hujia Village, her calves were shaking with exhaustion. If it hadn't been for the bowl of knife-cut noodles she had eaten at noon, she would have probably fainted from exhaustion.

It was already dark, and there were only a few faint candlelights in the village, flickering the last rays of light.

Let’s not worry about the seven or eight rooms in Brother Hu’s house for now, let’s get some delicious food to fill our stomachs first.

"Brother Hu, are we going to have stewed chicken or fish when we get home? It would be best if we also have some pork belly. You rich people don't like to eat that stuff, so just let me eat it."

Hu Lai was laughing and saying, "You bitch, you are not beautiful, but you have beautiful thoughts."

It was dark and she couldn't see his face clearly, but just hearing Hu Lai's laughter made Jia Zhang feel a little scared.

"How about we not eat big fish and meat, just some porridge will do."

"How can this be possible? Sister Cuihua is new to Hujia Village, so I, Old Hu, must prepare a meat meal for you. Let's start with stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, and make sure you have meat for every meal of yours."

Jia Zhang was overjoyed. She had never eaten "Stir-fried Bamboo Shoots with Pork" before. It sounded like a high-end meat dish.

I have copied the whole life of this lady. Qin Huairu, you, a poor man, should just stay at home and suffer. It’s a pity that my eldest grandson Banggeng can’t come and enjoy the good life with me.

This is not a big deal. Once I have established myself in the Hu family, I will find a way to make Hu Lai leave early. Then, wouldn't the family fortune be in the hands of someone else?

Jia Zhang followed Hu Lai and after many twists and turns finally arrived home. What came into view were two dilapidated earthen houses.

As soon as she pushed open the wooden door and walked inside, a musty smell rushed up and almost choked Jia Zhang to death.

"Brother Hu, why does this smell so bad? Where is your kitchen? Let's fry the meat quickly?"

Jia Zhang was standing at the door when she felt someone kick her hard from behind and she fell to the ground.

"Stir-fried meat? Stir-fried meat. There are no bamboo shoots, but there are plenty of bamboo poles. I'll beat you to death."

Before Jia Zhang could get up, she was hit several times with a bamboo stick.

This bamboo pole is neither soft nor hard. It can be used as a stick or as a whip.

It hurt so much when he hit me that it left a bloody mark.

"Oh, oh, oh my god..."

"Brother Hu, please show some mercy. What's wrong with you? Did Sister Cuihua offend you in some way that made you so ruthless."

Hujia Village was silent, with only Jia Zhang's howling echoing through the clouds.

Just like the chirping of cicadas and croaking of frogs in summer, one after another, continuous.
