Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

The afterglow of winter sprinkled on the entire courtyard, as if it was covered with a layer of gold. Everyone in the courtyard was busy, and it seemed peaceful and harmonious.

Sha Zhu cooked a big pot of chicken soup at home. The aroma lingered over the courtyard, instantly arousing the worms in everyone's stomach.

The Jia family lived in the same courtyard as Sha Zhu and were quite close to each other. When they smelled the fragrance, they could no longer sit still.

"Bah! They can't even let us have a peaceful time during Chinese New Year. They can't even send a bowl of delicious food to our house. How can they not eat them to death?!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Jia Zhang started spewing curses and swearing.

Jia Dongxu couldn't bear it any longer, and seeing Jia Zhang's expression, he simply said:

"Huai Ru, go buy a chicken and make some soup.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, let’s celebrate it in advance.”

"Dongxu."

Qin Huairu looked embarrassed. A chicken costs several pieces. He just bought a pound of meat and some food yesterday. He was already short of money. How could he have extra money to buy a chicken? !

"When I took over as the housekeeper, I only had a dozen dollars, and I bought a lot of things for the house yesterday. Now I have no extra money at all."

"Mom, give Huairu another ten dollars."

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he spoke directly to Jia Zhang.

“Where do I get the money?!

Didn’t I give all my money to Huairu? !”

Jia Zhang's hair stood on end and she screamed.

"How could I not know whether you have money or not?!

I just want to drink some chicken soup, give Huairu ten dollars."

Jia Dongxu said dissatisfiedly:

"My legs are already like this now, I just want to eat something good to replenish them so that they can get better quickly.

This way I can get to work faster.

Otherwise, look at my leg, when will it get better? ! "

“But I really don’t have any money…”

Although Jia Zhang felt a little reluctant, she still spoke with her neck stiff.

That money is her retirement savings, and she would never take it out unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Mom, it's no fun if you say that."

Jia Dongxu's face looked a little unhappy, but he continued to speak with patience:

“I just can’t move my legs now, I’m not dead.

You will still have to count on me to take care of you in your old age.

I just want to drink chicken soup, but you are not willing to pay for it. What do you think I will do in the future..."

The rest of the words were not spoken, but Jia Zhang already understood.

She stared at Jia Dongxu blankly. She never expected that her own son would say such a thing.

"Dongxu, I worked so hard to raise you, and you..."

"Don't say anything extra. I just want to drink chicken soup. Do you want to pay for it?"

Jia Dongxu was too lazy to listen to Jia Zhang's chatter. He was filial, but actually a very selfish person at heart.

The family situation is indeed a bit difficult now. Not only does his mother not help the family, but she also hides so many little thoughts. How can it not make people feel heartbroken? !

In Jia Dongxu's eyes, Jia Zhangshi shouldn't have secretly put away the pension money. After all, with him around, how could he not be filial to Jia Zhangshi? !

"Dongxu, Mom is not as rich as you think. If you want to drink chicken soup, I will do everything I can to make you drink chicken soup."

Seeing that her previous tricks didn't work, Jia Zhang had to settle for the next best thing, then glared at Qin Huairu and turned around to get her private money.

Qin Huairu was a little confused and didn't know how she had offended Jia Zhang.

"These ten dollars are my coffin money, I give them to you.

Make some chicken soup to nourish your body."

Jia Zhang came back quickly, took out ten yuan and handed it to Qin Huairu.

"Don't worry, Mom. When Dongxu's leg is healed and he can go back to work, I will definitely give you the money I earn."

Qin Huairu took the ten yuan and said with a smile.

But just this smile caught Jia Zhang's eye, her face darkened, and she said instantly:

"Qin Huairu, don't think I don't know it was your idea.

I tell you, as long as I am here, you will never be able to be the head of this family!"

Qin Huairu shrugged speechlessly and left.

No wonder her mother-in-law glared at her just now, it turned out that she mistakenly thought this was her idea.

This is the blame, but no further explanation was given.

As the old saying goes, one has to watch the mother-in-law for ten years and the daughter-in-law for ten years. Now that she has gradually begun to take charge of the household, the only reason she can tolerate Jia Zhang continuing to act so arrogantly in front of her is because of the little private money in Jia Zhang's hands.

Besides, what exactly is Jia Dongxu's attitude? How could she possibly interfere? !

At most, it's just some pillow talk at the right time.

......

After Sha Zhu cooked the chicken soup, he put it directly into the lunch box, then picked up the net bag and walked outside.

"Silly uncle."

As soon as I turned into another alley, I saw Banggeng standing there, as if he was waiting for me to come over.

"Wow, Bangteng has grown up and is so polite now!"

The first time he heard Banggeng call him uncle, Shazhu looked a little excited.

After all, Banggeng also grew up under his nose. Perhaps because he loves Banggeng, he is quite patient with Banggeng.

In the past, Banggeng kept calling "Shazhu, Shazhu". He corrected him many times but failed. In the end, he just let it go.

Now when he suddenly heard Banggeng calling him that, Shazhu was completely surprised.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?!"

Although he was excited, he was still rational, so Sha Zhu asked directly.

"Hehe, Uncle Sha is still the best."

Bang Geng smiled, then pulled Xiao Dang behind him and continued:

"Xiao Dang also wants to set off firecrackers, but we have no money. Uncle Sha, can you buy us some firecrackers to play with?!"

"You little brat, I think you want to play?!"

Shazhu flicked his head and started talking.

"My sister wants to play, and I have a little bit too."

Bang Geng stretched out his finger and gestured.

"Xiaodang, do you want to play with firecrackers?"

Seeing this, Sha Zhu asked Xiao Dang with a smile. When he saw Xiao Dang nodded, he smiled even more.

I simply took out a dime from my pocket and handed it to Bang Geng:

"Uncle Silly has something to do right now. If you want to play with firecrackers, go buy them yourself."

"Thank you, silly uncle."

Banggeng took the dime, took Xiaodang and ran away.

Sha Zhu is so easy to be cheated. Before he even started crying, making a fuss, or threatening to commit suicide, he got a dime.

If he wants anything in the future, he will come to find Sha Zhu.

As for Shazhu, who was willing to be a sucker, he had no idea what Banggeng was thinking.

She happily carried the net bag and walked towards Chen Meijuan.
