Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

He Yuzhu was naturally very annoyed at Qin Shan who caused the trouble, but Qin Huairu was a smart person and took the initiative to reduce the food supply to her mother's family by half, which made He Yuzhu unable to say anything more.

However, after this incident, He Yuzhu felt that he had been too idealistic in the past. Not everyone understood and sympathized with him. After all, every family has its own complex family relationships.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu became more and more confused and no longer in the mood to chat with the two of them.

"Da Mao, Zhao Xu, I'm tired today. We'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was not in good shape, Zhao Xu and Xu Damao had to get up and go home.

"Zhu Zi, are you okay?" Lou Xiaoe asked with concern.

"Xiao'e, I'm fine. I just don't understand why it's already this late. Can't you just calm down a little? I'm tired too."

……

Qin Huairu, who was waiting anxiously at home, saw Xu Damao coming back. She had already coaxed Xu Zhiyuan to sleep and quickly got up and asked:

"Da Mao, what did Zhuzi say?"

Xu Damao sat down for a long time without saying anything. After thinking for a long time, he said:

"Huai Ru, from now on, your father's food will come from our share."

"Da Mao, what should we do?"

"What else can I do? As long as I don't starve to death, that's fine."

"Is Zhuzi angry?"

"Who wouldn't be angry about Huairu's situation? Zhuzi is not omnipotent. He can't get as much food as he wants."

"Besides, what does the Qinjia Village incident have to do with Zhuzi? He has taken good care of us in the past. We can't help him, but at least we can't cause trouble for him, right? Besides, Xiao'e's belly is so big now."

After listening to Xu Damao's words, both of them fell silent.

Qin Jingru felt flustered when she saw Zhao Xu going home and smoking without saying a word.

"Brother Xu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

"Jingru, from now on, reduce the amount of food you give your father by half."

Qin Jingru opened her mouth and wanted to say something. Even though this matter was not caused by her father, what could she do?

Qin Jingru quickly adjusted her mentality. She also thought it would be a good opportunity to teach her father and brother a lesson, so that they would not make the same mistake again and make life difficult for themselves.

"Brother Xu, not only do you have to cut the amount in half, but from now on there will be no more refined grains. Give us all coarse grains. At least as long as we don't starve to death during the winter, that's fine."

If He Yu heard this, he would definitely look up to Qin Jingru, saying that she is a clear-headed person.

"Isn't this a bad thing for Jingru?"

"Brother Xu, that's my mother's family and I have the final say. My sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger and bigger, we can't cause trouble for Brother Zhuzi anymore."

"Jingru, you are so nice." Zhao Xuyan threw it and pounced on her.

"Brother Xu, be gentle~"

……

Early the next morning, Qin Jingru and Zhao Xu came to He's house.

"Brother Zhuzi, Zhao Xu and I have discussed that from now on, you should reduce the amount of food I give to my mother's family by half and give them all coarse grains."

He Yuzhu was very pleased to hear Qin Jingru say this.

"Reducing it by half is a bit too much. Reduce it by one third, so the thickness and thinness will be half."

"Brother Zhuzi, I know you have good intentions, but just listen to me this time. It's winter now anyway, so as long as you don't starve to death, that's fine."

Seeing Qin Jingru speak so firmly, He Yuzhu's evaluation of her became even higher.

"Okay, Jingru, I'll listen to you. Tell me if you have anything to say."

The young couple breathed a sigh of relief when they saw He Yuzhu agreed.

"You two came in and brought the food by yourselves, you really think you are guests." He Yuzhu was in a good mood and started joking with the two of them.

"Brother, that can't be done. I'll serve it right away. You go and serve my sister-in-law first. I'll take care of the rest."

The old lady and Aunt Yi finally felt relieved when they saw that there was no rift between the two brothers.

After having breakfast with Lou Xiaoe, He Yuzhu got up and went out to work.

He figured it out last night. If you come, I have to see you? I give you face.

After He Yuzhu left, Qin Jingru thought to herself: "When my father, uncle and the village chief come, my sister and I can just treat them to a meal and send them off. We don't need to take them to Brother Zhuzi's house."

"No, I have to tell my cousin. She should not be confused at this time."

He hurried to the backyard to find Qin Huairu and said, "Sister, my father and uncle will be here later, so let's eat at my house."

"Jingru, but the village chief is here to look for Zhuzi..."

"Cousin, Brother Zhuzi has gone to work."

Xu Damao also came out of the house and said, "Jingru, we had lunch at my house this afternoon. Come over and help your cousin. This is settled."

Qin Huairu wanted to say something... but seeing Xu Damao's determined face, she chose to keep silent.

Qin Jingru secretly made a note in her heart that it would be better to keep some distance between herself and her cousin in the future. After all, she was closer to the He family now.

Before noon, Qin Shan, Qin Huaiqing, Qin Qing, Qin He and Shitou arrived at the yard. With so many people coming all of a sudden, many people thought that something had happened to Xu Damao and Qin Huairu, and that their family members had come to support them.

Xu Damao also felt embarrassed, so he hurriedly took the person home.

When Qin He saw that Xu Damao was the only one waiting for him at home, he immediately looked a little unhappy.

"Niece Jingru, where is your husband?"

"Uncle village chief, my Zhao Xu is busy at work, leaving home early and returning late every day, so I dare not interrupt."

"What about Director He?"

"My brother Zhuzi is even busier. There are a lot of things waiting for him to do in the factory. Otherwise, my sister-in-law is so pregnant, and he has to stay at home to watch her."

Qin Jingru's subtext is, "My husband is busy, I can't make the decision. My brother Zhuzi can't even take care of his wife and children, let alone other things."

Qin He was immediately at a loss when he heard that the two fools were not there. This was different from what he had imagined. Shouldn't they be waiting for him at home with good food and drinks? He had boasted about himself, what should he do?

So I put my hope on Qin Shan. I'll compliment him during dinner later and ask him to talk to Xu Damao, and the matter will be settled.

Qin He, who thought he was very smart, was no longer in a hurry and started chatting about family matters as if he was visiting relatives.

Qin Huairu thought Qin He was persuaded to leave, so she greeted him even more enthusiastically.

Only Qin Jingru and Xu Damao felt that this old fox might have some big trick up his sleeve.

After thinking it over, Xu Damao felt that in the end this matter would probably fall on his father-in-law's head. As long as he dared to speak up, he couldn't blame his son-in-law for being ruthless.

After all, it was her mother's family coming to visit, so Qin Jingru added two more dishes. Forget about the meat, but there was plenty of steamed buns.

After a few drinks, Qin He began his performance, "Brother Shan, Huairu is lucky and will not starve. I feel bad for the many people in our village who are hungry."

There is a saying that only sincerity is the most touching, but Qin He’s "sincerity" is a bit too hypocritical.

Qin Shan was complimented like this and felt that he was the hope of the village, so he wanted to speak.
