I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

After Qin Huairu finished washing the clothes, she sat down to rest for a while and then started to busy herself with preparing dinner at home.

Wait till it’s almost done! Jia Dongshi finally finished visiting the door and went home with the soles of her shoes in her hand. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiao Huaihua in a silk dress, and her eyes almost fell to the ground in shock.

"Qin Huairu, what's going on? Where did Huaihua get this new dress? What did you do outside to offend the Jia family behind my back?"

Jia Zhang shouted at her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu. In her subconscious, she must have hooked up with someone outside, and this was a favor from someone else. She simply couldn't believe that someone would give this silk dress away for nothing.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Lou Xiao'e saw Huaihua and was worried that she would catch a cold and get sick with only one layer of clothes on, so she sent her two sets of cotton clothes." Qin Huairu explained aggrievedly.

"Would Lou Xiao'e give Huaihua new clothes for no reason? And they're made of silk. Think it over first, and I'll go ask."

Jia Zhang was incredulous. These days, no one is seen wearing silk on the street. Only in summer will people wear silk short sleeves. This material is breathable!

"You go and ask! I have done nothing wrong, so I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door." Qin Huairu brought the food to the table and replied to her angrily.

Seeing that she could not find any evidence against Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang turned around and said to her granddaughter viciously, "Take off all your clothes. You are so young and yet you are wearing silk and satin. Aren't you afraid that it will shorten your life?"

"Mom, if you don't wear such small clothes, you won't be able to wear them in the future. Isn't it a waste to leave them there?" Qin Huairu was helpless to her mother-in-law Jia Zhang. Are you going to take them off for me to wear?

"You know shit! In a family like ours, if someone wearing silk suddenly appears, what will others say about our Jia family?" Jia Zhang asked harshly.

"If people can't talk about our Jia family, they will talk about Lou Xiao'e. But Lou Xiao'e's family is rich, who can do anything to her Lou family?"

Qin Huairu didn't think so! Instead, she was a little envious. She, Qin Huairu, had never worn silk clothes in her life.

"I don't care, but Huaihua can't wear silk clothes. Take them off for me now!"

Jia Zhang began to make a fuss! She was simply jealous. Jia Zhang had never been able to wear silk in her life, so why could this money-losing piece of silk wear it?

At this time, Banggeng also returned home with Xiaodang. When he saw his little sister Huaihua in a new dress, his eyes were red on the spot! Although he didn't know silk, it didn't hinder his recognition. This dress was very beautiful and must be worth a lot of money.

"Mom, I want clothes like Sophora japonica too. Why does she have them but I don't? I want them too!"

Banggeng started to cry. Her mother was too partial! She left the best clothes for Huaihua last.

"This is a gift for Huaihua! Do you want it too? Do you think you can wear silk?"

Qin Huairu was angry and anxious! This family made her worry about everything. Where could she find silk to make clothes for her son Banggeng?

Banggeng snorted and turned his head to go into the inner room. Jia Zhang was still chattering at the dinner table when Banggeng came out of the inner room, with a knife for sharpening pencils hidden in his right hand.

While Xiao Huaihua was not paying attention, he walked behind her and used a knife to cut several big holes in her silk clothes, revealing the white cotton inside.

I don't have it, so you can forget about wearing it. Humph!

Huaihua looked at the silk cotton jacket with cotton wool showing through it, and she burst into tears. She didn't cry even when Banggeng hit her. But this time, the gentle care that Auntie Lou gave her was completely trampled by Banggeng.

She cried and ran out. Tears blurred her eyes and she didn't know where she ran to. Until a pair of hands hugged her tightly and wiped away her tears gently.

She could see clearly then and ran into the backyard. Aunt Lou was holding her and wiping her tears with her hands.

Lou Xiao'e locked the door and was about to go back to her parents' house for dinner. As she was born a young lady and couldn't cook, Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies, so she had to make do at home. But she was tired of snacks and wanted to go back to her parents' house to eat hot dishes and hot meals.

But just after locking the door and taking a few steps, I saw Xiao Huaihua crying and stumbling towards the backyard. I hurried over and hugged her!

She also noticed at a glance that the cotton coat she had just put on this afternoon had been cut with several large holes, revealing the cotton wool inside.

Seeing that Xiao Huaihua was crying out of breath, Lou Xiao'e's eyes also turned red! She gently patted Xiao Huaihua's back and comforted her in a soft voice.

"Don't cry, little Huaihua! Auntie Lou still has a lot of clothes at home. Give them all to you, okay?"

"Auntie Lou, I'm sorry, my new clothes were scratched by the stick. Wuuuu!" Little Huaihua hiccuped and complained to Auntie Lou.

"I have plenty of clothes! Can you go home with me and get some?"

Lou Xiao'e comforted him softly. She had an urge to adopt Xiao Huaihua! But this was just a thought, because Xu Damao would not agree to it.

She picked up Little Sophora japonica and left! She had originally wanted to go and tell the West Wing of the Central Courtyard. But she was a young lady, and she was not satisfied with the Jia family's attitude towards Sophora japonica, so she left the courtyard in a huff.

She took the bus to Lou Mansion in Dongdan. When her family saw her bringing a little girl back, they all came to ask about her situation. Little Huaihua was also well-behaved, and she was very polite when she met people, calling them grandpa and grandma.

Lou Xiao'e's story about Xiao Huaihua's experience also aroused the sympathy of her mother Tan Yali. But this was someone else's family affair, and they were powerless to do anything.

The Lou family had a servant who knew how to mend. She took the cotton-padded jacket that Xiao Huaihua was wearing to the family to mend. The kitchen quickly brought the food to the dining room, and the children were allowed to go home after finishing their meal.

Lou Xiao'e took someone else's child out without asking. If someone else took it seriously, they would definitely be blamed.

Xiao Huaihua sat in the dining room and looked around. The Lou family was worthy of the title of "Half of the Lou City". This dining room alone was twice as big as the Jia family's. This large Western-style villa with white marble exterior walls was magnificently decorated inside.

She couldn't help but feel sorry for Lou Xiao'e. This dignified eldest daughter of the Lou family actually married the son of a servant.

After dinner, the cotton-padded clothes were mended. Lou Zhenhua told the driver to send the two men home quickly.

Huaihua said goodbye to Aunt Lou and pushed the door open to go in. The dining table was clean, and it seemed that the family had already finished dinner.

When Qin Huairu saw her little daughter coming back, she complained to her. "Where have you been? Your brother didn't mean it, but you're so angry."

Huaihua had long lost her attachment to this home, and she remained silent when Qin Huairu accused her.

Qin Huairu wanted to come over to help her daughter mend her clothes, but she was surprised to find that the cut on her daughter's body had been mended. Her craftsmanship was better than hers!

She would never think that it was done by Miss Lou Xiao'e. This little daughter is becoming more and more mysterious!

Did she ask her if she had dinner? Huaihua nodded, sitting alone in the distance, looking out of place in this family.

Qin Huairu also wanted to move her daughter's bedding roll to the kang in the inner room. She couldn't let her four-year-old daughter sleep alone in the outer room.

But Jia Zhang and Bang Geng jointly stopped him. Bang Geng said that he would never sleep on the same kang with Huai Hua, and he and Huai Hua were irreconcilable.

Jia Zhang also refused to let Huaihua sleep in the inner room, saying that Huaihua had just recovered from her illness and might still have the disease on her body.

Huaihua herself was even more unwilling! She had a big secret, how could she eat secretly when sleeping on the same kang? Besides, she didn't want to sleep with Banggeng.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to give up! She took out a work coat from the closet and covered her little daughter with it.

I waited for the whole family to wash up and go into the inner room. After waiting for half an hour, I heard snoring coming from inside.

Huaihua's mind turned, and she entered the space. The warm sunlight shone on her body, and her whole body felt warm and comfortable.

She took off her slept-in fleece and rolled on the grass. This space was her only chance to survive in this era, so she had to keep this secret.
