Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Liu Chunhua patted her belly without any image, yawned and said, "Oh, Huairu, the food in your family is so good! I'm over 20 years old and I've never eaten such delicious noodles with gravy. Oh, especially the gravy, it's so delicious." After saying that, she burped.

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded, saying, "My husband's cooking skills are very good, and I also like the stew he made." At this time, there was a knock on the door. Qin Huairu winked at her sister-in-law, and He Yushui nodded quickly. She took two steps at a time and reached the door. She looked out through the window. It was indeed Mrs. Long outside, knocking on the door with a gloomy face.

He Yushui nodded quickly, ran to his sister-in-law Qin Huairu and said, "Sister-in-law, it's Old Lady Long outside." Old Lady Long's impatient voice came from outside the door, and she said in a bad tone, "Open the door, open the door quickly. I'm hungry, open the door quickly."

The people in the courtyard wanted to go out to see the excitement, but when they heard that it was Old Lady Long begging for food in the courtyard again, they quickly ran back to their homes. The people in the middle courtyard ran back to their homes and secretly stood by the windows looking outside. They were all very afraid of this old lady. In this day and age, it was already very good to have enough food at home. Who could afford to raise a person who was not related to them by blood? In the past, when they ate meat at home, Old Lady Long also shamelessly came to eat.

The neighbors in the courtyard, seeing that they were all from the same courtyard and that Mrs. Long was quite old, could only bite the bullet and let her in to eat. It might be okay once or twice, but who would want to do that every day? And the old lady was very picky, she would pick out the meat from the dishes and eat it, and would not touch the vegetables at all. This really pissed off the neighbors in the courtyard, and they were all angry but dared not say anything.

In He Yuzhu's house, Qin Huairu's face darkened and said, "This old lady is so shameless. Yushui, quickly move the meat and vegetables on the table to the kitchen. Chunhua, don't just stand there, help us two." Liu Chunhua nodded quickly and moved the sauces on the table to the kitchen. Qin Huairu simply put Liu Chunhua's pork heads into the kitchen. Liu Chunhua thought about it and said, "Huairu, I'm afraid this won't work. The old lady saw me holding a bag of pork heads just now. If I take it away, the old lady will definitely not let it go."

Qin Huairu thought it made sense, and after thinking for a while, she took out a small bowl from the cupboard. Then she took out a small portion, took out a few more steamed buns from the cupboard, and said with a smile, "Be smart later, and follow my lead." Liu Chunhua nodded quickly with a smile, and looked at the steamed buns in Qin Huairu's hand, and she admired Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu asked Liu Chunhua to take care of He Yushui. After putting the things on the table, she wiped her greasy hands with her apron and said, "Oh, who is it? I'm here to open the door." Qin Huairu opened the door and saw the angry old lady Long standing outside. Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Oh, it's you, old lady. I was washing dishes in the kitchen just now. I didn't hear you knocking on the door."

Old Lady Long looked at Qin Huairu with a bad face, sneered and said, "You can say that I am old, or that I am confused, but you can't treat me like a fool. Little girl, you look like a decent person, how can you say such nonsense to an old woman like me?"

Old Lady Long looked at Qin Huairu in detail and felt that it must be this Qin Huairu who was doing these little tricks behind her. She had watched He Yuzhu grow up since he was a child, and felt that it was impossible for him to make such a big change all of a sudden. It must be what this little girl said. She is so beautiful, she is really a vixen.

Old Lady Long coughed, looked at Liu Chunhua with a half-smile and said, "Hey, Liu's girl, didn't you say you had something to do? Why are you at my grandson's house again?" Qin Huairu's face was dark, her husband had explained it many times. If this old woman really confirmed that they were grandparents, then this old woman would haunt her forever.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Old lady, you are really joking. My husband doesn't have much milk, and I heard that my father-in-law's mother died a long time ago." Old lady Long poked the ground with her cane, and the floor tiles made a loud noise. The sound scared He Yushui, and she quickly shrank into Liu Chunhua's arms.

Liu Chunhua patted He Yushui's head soothingly and said, "Good boy, it's okay." Old Lady Long snorted coldly and glared at Qin Huairu fiercely. Qin Huairu glared back without giving in. Her man had told her so! To deal with this shameless old lady, she had to give him a ruthless blow.

Old lady Long glanced at the food on the table. Qin Huairu beside her said with a smile, "Hey, old lady, you probably haven't eaten yet. Come to our house and have something to eat. Come, here is the pork head that Chunhua brought when she came to our house today. I'll give you a steamed bun. Please eat more."

Mrs. Long's face turned green. She looked at the steamed buns in the bamboo basket that looked like they had been there for a long time, and she lost her appetite. But she looked at the half bowl of pork head meat in the small bowl, and she picked up the chopsticks beside her and started eating quickly, regardless of whether there was a lot of pork head meat in the bowl. For Mrs. Long, eating something good was the most important thing. Compared to her, face and other things were irrelevant.

Qin Huairu's smile was still as bright as ever. She took out a steamed bun from the bamboo basket and said to Old Lady Long very respectfully, "Old lady, please have some steamed buns. There is only a little bit of pork head left. Otherwise, you will go hungry tonight."

Old lady Long wanted to throw the steamed bread in Qin Huairu's hand to the ground, but she also thought that Yi Zhonghai and his wife would not be able to come back tonight. If she threw away the steamed bread, she would definitely starve. But Old lady Long didn't want to eat the steamed bread. She liked to eat white flour buns. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Old lady, I'm old and I don't have many years left to live. Don't you have any fine grains? I can't eat this stuff."
