Yan Bugui opened his mouth and wanted to explain further, but he couldn't think of a suitable reason at once, so he could only watch Lin Donglai and Sha Zhu walk back to the Lin family together.

Because Lin Donglai told his sister that he would take lunch from the cafeteria home, after Lin Dongyi got home from school, he put away his schoolbag and started to wipe the dining table clean.

Then, when he saw the dirty clothes he had just taken off, he went to fetch half a bucket of water and went home, and was now scrubbing them vigorously at the door of his house.

He looked up after hearing footsteps, and saw the smiling Lin Donglai. His eyes immediately curved with smiles: "Brother, you are finally back. My stomach is growling with hunger."

Then he saw Sha Zhu following closely behind Lin Donglai, his smile immediately disappeared, he stood up and asked in a low voice: "Brother, why is he here?"

Although Lin Dongyi is only a ten-year-old child, because she is a girl and her family has suffered a tragedy, she is naturally more meticulous than other children and more sensitive to the people and things around her.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao usually give Lin Dongyi a bad impression. She thinks that one of them likes to curse people, and the other likes to beat people, and neither of them is a good person.

What's more, Shazhu is extremely nice to Banggeng because of Qin Huairu, so Lin Dongyi has even less affection for him.

Without waiting for Lin Dong to speak, Sha Zhu walked straight into the room, put the lunch box and steamed buns in his hands on the table, then turned his head and grinned:

"Dongla, I'll leave the food I brought here for you to eat later. I'm going to go back and see if there's any wine at home. I'll also check if Yushui has returned home and ask her to come over for dinner."

"Go ahead, Brother Zhuzi, but hurry up, we are all hungry."

As soon as Sha Zhu walked out, Lin Dongyi came over with a pout: "Brother, I don't want to eat with Sha Zhu, can you let him go back to his own house to eat?"

The little girl rarely made requests. She kept asking like this, and it seemed like she really hated Sha Zhu. Lin Donglai had no choice but to comfort her: "Then when the rain comes, you two can eat together, and Sha Zhu and I will go to their house to eat, okay?"

Lin Dongyi thought about it, agreed with a smile, and went to rub the clothes at the door of her house. Although she looked small, she was very skillful at work. After a while, she washed and wrung out several pieces of clothes and hung them on the bamboo poles.

On the other hand, after Qin Huairu finished her meal in the steel rolling mill cafeteria, she didn't go to the small warehouse at all, because she knew that as long as Lin Donglai brought the message to Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu would not sit idly by.

Along the way, she was worried that she hadn't delivered Lin Donglai's message, and was afraid that Xu Damao would catch up with her, so she ran to the courtyard with her lunch box and steamed buns. Fortunately, she arrived home safely.

As soon as Qin Huairu arrived home, she saw Jia Zhang and several children sitting at the table waiting. Before she could say anything, Bang snatched the lunch box from her hand.

He kept complaining, "Mom, why did you come back just now? I'm so hungry."

"Mom, me too. My stomach is growling with hunger."

"Mom, Huaihua is hungry too, and her stomach is growling. Listen..."

Jia Zhang was sitting at the table sewing shoe soles. She was also very hungry. She usually sat on the kang, and would only sit at the table waiting for food when she was extremely hungry.

After Qin Huairu returned home, Jia Zhang secretly looked at her and found that not only did she come back later than usual, but she was also flustered. She kept wondering in her heart: Could it be that she had done something to let Dongxu down?

With this thought in mind, of course, she would not be polite: "Qin Huairu, how can you be a mother? Everyone else has gone home a long time ago, why did you come back just now? Look at how hungry the children are. It's really outrageous!"

"I'm telling you that you'd better be honest and stop thinking about those nonsense all day long. You have to be worthy of being the father of the children and worthy of Dongxu."

If it wasn't for the purpose of finding food for the children at home, why would Qin Huairu have endured the nausea and listened to Xu Damao's dirty words? It would have been fine if she was worried and scared all the way, but when she got home her mother-in-law still said this to her.

Qin Huairu felt so wronged that she choked up and said, "Mom, why did you say such nonsense in front of the child? How am I sorry to the child's father?"

"I get up early every morning to cook and wash clothes, and then I have to go to work in the factory. After get off work, no matter how tired I am, I have to cook and clean the house. Can you tell me where I went wrong?"

Unfortunately, Jia Zhang didn't buy her trick at all. She rolled her eyes at her and said viciously, "You know it in your heart."

"I'm telling you this today. Don't let me catch you. If I do, you'll see. Don't even think about letting the kids call you mom again."

Bang Geng saw that his grandmother and mother were arguing and disturbing his meal. He became very impatient and dragged Jia Zhang to the inner room. He stuffed half a white steamed bun into her hand and said with a frown:

"Grandma, I'll give you half a steamed bun. Please don't blame my mom. If she wasn't feeling well, would she bring us food? She brought two lunch boxes of food and three and a half steamed buns today."

Qin Huairu usually brings home a box of vegetables and two steamed buns. After returning home, she steams two steamed buns made of 200 grams of flour and makes some corn porridge or something. The combination is enough for the whole family to eat.

So when Jia Zhang heard Bang Geng say that she brought two boxes of vegetables and three and a half white flour buns today, she became even angrier. Didn't this indirectly confirm her guess?

She was so angry that she threw the half steamed bun onto the kang and cursed, "This bun is dirty. I won't eat it."

Qin Huairu was so angry at these words that her tears fell like beads from a broken string. She couldn't stand staying in this house for another minute, so she covered her face and ran out to the yard.

When Sha Zhu came out of the Lin family and just returned to the central courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu running out of the house with her face covered. He got angry when he thought of how she was talking and laughing with Xu Damao today, so he ignored her and went straight home.

Qin Huairu ran to the pool, squatted down, hugged her arms and started crying, not daring to make a sound for fear of being heard by others.

After Sha Zhu went home and called Yu Shui, the brother and sister walked towards the front yard together. Seeing Qin Huairu squatting on the ground with her shoulders shaking violently, he knew she was crying, so he wanted to go over to comfort her. Seeing this, Yu Shui grabbed him and dragged him directly to the front yard.

It's not Yu Shui's fault. There are only her and Sha Ge at home. Logically, the lunch box brought back by Sha Zhu should be enough to fill the stomachs of the brother and sister, but Qin Huairu always steals Sha Ge's lunch box, often leaving her without any food.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but if it happens frequently, Yu Shui is in the period of physical growth, so how could she not complain? She just can't say it out loud.

When they arrived at the Lin family, Lin Donglai put forward his suggestion, and Sha Zhu and Yu Shui both agreed. So Lin Donglai kept half of the braised rabbit meat and the dishes that Sha Zhu brought back for each of them, then picked up the lunch box and walked back to his house with Sha Zhu.

When passing by the pond in the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was still squatting on the ground crying. Lin Donglai walked straight to Sha Zhu's house as if he didn't see her. Only Sha Zhu stopped and hesitated...
