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

Siheyuan.

Without Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi, life seemed to be very smooth. Occasionally there would be some quarrels, but they would be resolved with laughter.

As the days passed slowly, Qin Huairu's belly grew bigger and bigger, and she gradually became pregnant.

I am exhausted in the factory every day. Not to mention taking care of Xiaodang, I feel tired myself.

Although I am tired, I am still in a good mood. After all, there are not so many messy things bothering me.

"You should eat here from now on. Your belly is getting bigger, so you need to be more careful and don't get too tired."

An aunt brought the meal over and started talking.

"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow."

Qin Huairu was not polite to the aunt. She was a widow, and not only was she pregnant, but she also had Xiaodang to take care of. She was a little overwhelmed.

"Then you eat first, I'm going back."

The aunt didn't say anything more. As for asking Qin Huairu to pay the money, she didn't mention it for the time being.

Qin Huairu is a sensible person. When eating or drinking at her house, she will definitely take the initiative to get things.

If he really didn't take it, she would also mention it at that time. There is no such thing as a free meal in the world.

After dinner, Qin Huairu took the dishes and went to the yard to wash them. She saw Sha Zhu coming back from outside with a lunch box in his hand. As he got closer, she could faintly smell the aroma of meat from it. She pursed her lips and lowered her head to wash them.

Their lives became more and more difficult, while Sha Zhu and his friends' lives became better and better, which made them feel very unhappy.

The most important point is that Sha Zhu no longer helps them as much as before.

"Sister Qin, I'm washing the dishes."

Sha Zhu didn't think too much and still greeted him.

I still feel sympathy for Qin Huairu, but I am no longer as brainless as before.

"Ah."

Qin Huairu glanced at the lunch box in Sha Zhu's hand again. The smell of meat was getting stronger and stronger. Even though she had just eaten, she couldn't help but feel greedy.

"Zhu Zi, are you packing this from the cafeteria?"

"Oh, how can that be possible.

I bought this myself, and because I was worried it would get cold quickly, I packed it in a lunch box. "

Sha Zhu started to explain, noticing Qin Huairu's eager look and deliberately turned his eyes away. He couldn't be soft-hearted.

A little help will bring about a grudge, just look at Bang Geng and you will know that he cannot just accept the lesson and not learn from it.

"I'll go back first, Ye Fei, Yu Shui is still waiting at home."

Worried that Qin Huairu would continue to show weakness, Sha Zhu decisively chose to leave.

Looking at Sha Zhu's receding back, Qin Huairu's face couldn't help but darken, as if there was a flood or a beast behind him.

After coming to her senses, Qin Huairu washed the dishes silently, took out the few food items from home, and walked towards Auntie's house.

"Auntie, this is my family's food. This is all we have right now. Don't think it's too little. I'll buy some more when I get my salary."

"What are you talking about? It's good that you have this intention. Why are you so polite to us?!"

The lady said this with a smile, but her actions were not ambiguous at all.

When she carried the food to the cupboard, she saw Qin Huairu sitting on the stool and had no intention of leaving. The aunt guessed that she probably had something to say.

After pouring a cup of hot water, the auntie said:

"Huai Ru, is there something on your mind?"

"Ah."

Qin Huairu nodded. After one or two months of getting along with each other, she became more and more dependent on and trusted the aunt.

Thinking of Sha Zhu's changes, which were becoming increasingly out of her control, Qin Huairu said hesitantly:

"Auntie, have you noticed that Zhuzi has been changing more and more recently..."

With all these thoughts coming to mind, Qin Huairu continued:

“No matter what happened before, he was always so kind and would never stand idly by.

But now, you see, he seems to have become a heartless and ungrateful person..."

“People are always changing.”

When Auntie heard this, she understood what Qin Huairu meant and quickly comforted her:

"Zhu Zi has grown up under our noses since he was a child. Although he has indeed been affected by bad things now, I believe that he is still very kind at heart.

In this courtyard, I think he treats you well. If you don’t want to watch Zhuzi become completely bad, you should spend more time with him in your daily life.”

Seeing Qin Huairu's thoughtful look, the aunt said a few more words:

“Huai Ru, you are still young, and it is not easy to take care of a child.

Now that you have us and the children, you won’t feel so sad.

But when we are old one day and our children have their own lives, what will you do then?

The aunt is not a cold-hearted person, but people always have to look forward.

Sometimes, you have to think about yourself instead of just work and your kids, okay?"

Qin Huairu's mind suddenly moved. Was what the old lady meant what she thought?

Thinking about Sha Zhu who is making more and more money now, although he has a bad temper, it is not unacceptable.

She is no longer an ignorant girl who yearns for love. At this moment, she just wants to find a rich man to ease the burden of life.

And the person who could be chosen the most is Sha Zhu.

He knows me well, he has money, and most importantly, Sha Zhu once liked me.

At this moment, Sha Zhu didn't know that Qin Huairu was thinking about him. He carried the lunch box all the way back to the backyard. Seeing that the light was on in the house, he shouted outside and walked in after receiving a response:

"Ye Fei, come and try it. This is a new dish I just developed..."

Ye Fei stood up and took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet, poured two glasses directly, tasted the dish made by Sha Zhu, and nodded with satisfaction:

"Yes, you made this in the factory?"

Although the cellar had been cleaned up, Ye Fei did not put the vegetables in immediately.

So during this period of time, several people bought food.

"Well, while they were off work, I watched them make some and brought them back."

"Thanks a lot."

Ye Fei nodded, and then said:

"The food does taste good, but don't make it in the factory in the future. It's not good if people see you."

"Don't worry, I did it after everyone left, so no one saw it."

Sha Zhu said carelessly, looking nonchalant.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was trying to be clever in this way, Ye Fei was speechless.

He always knew that Sha Zhu was smart, otherwise he would not have been able to bring He Yushui to this day after He Daqing ran away.

Not all of the people in this courtyard are good people.

Once he got rid of the love-minded thought, all Shazhu's cleverness came out.

But he did not agree with this behavior at all.

“How could no one see it?

The guard at the gate must have seen you, as well as the way you walked back.

Our living conditions are not too bad now, so don't do such things as taking advantage of the public in the future, so as not to be caught by others, and then you will be the one who suffers."

"Uh……"

Sha Zhu thought about it and felt that what Ye Fei said made sense. He scratched his head and explained:

"I just thought that we had no more vegetables in the cellar, so I took advantage of the situation. Don't worry, I won't do that again in the future."
