Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

"Money! Money! Money! You only know how to ask for money! Didn't I just give you five dollars at the beginning of the month? How come you spent it all so quickly?!" After saying that, Jia Zhang winked at Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu asked, "Did you use the money from your family to support your mother's family?!"

Qin Huairu quickly denied it, "No! Dongxu, you can't wrongly accuse me! Dongxu is the only one in our family who has a ration. His ration is not enough for our family. All the money given to me this month was spent on buying food."

Jia Dongxu also reacted at this time. However, Jia Dongxu couldn't say anything to Jia Zhangshi, so he could only vent his anger on Qin Huairu and said, "There's not enough food, can't you find a way yourself?!"

Jia Zhang agreed: "That's right!"

Qin Huairu said with a bitter face: "What can I do?!"

Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu exchanged a glance. Jia Zhang said, "Aren't you on good terms with Sha Zhu? They say that even in times of disaster, a cook will never starve to death. Why don't you go ask him for it?"

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang in disbelief and said, "Mom, how can you say such a thing?!"

Jia Zhang sneered, "Don't think I don't know! You are not a contented person at all. I tell you, if you can't get the food back, don't come back. We in the Jia family don't keep idle people." After that, Jia Zhang stood up, walked to Qin Huairu, and drove Qin Huairu out.

"Mom! Open the door! No matter what, let me serve Banggeng and Xiaodang dinner first." Qin Huairu knocked on the door and shouted into the house.

Jia Zhang said: "If you care about your children, find a way to get food as soon as possible."

Qin Huairu knocked on the door for a while, but Jia Zhang still ignored her. Qin Huairu could only sigh and hesitated for a few seconds before looking at He Yuzhu's house. After a while, Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai's house across the street. After thinking it over again and again, Qin Huairu finally decided to go to He Yuzhu's house first.

Qin Huairu walked to the door of He Yuzhu's house and pushed it as usual. However, the door of He Yuzhu's house was bolted from the inside. Qin Huairu saw that the door did not open, so she reached out and knocked on the door helplessly. He Yuzhu, He Yushui and Liu Lan looked at each other.

Liu Lan put down her chopsticks, walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?!"

Qin Huairu heard Liu Lan's voice, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Shazhu's wife, I'm Qin Huairu. Please open the door. I have something to tell your Shazhu."

Liu Lan said directly: "Qin Huairu, my Shazhu is eating! He has no time to deal with you. You should go back first!"

Qin Huairu's face changed instantly when she heard Liu Lan's words. Qin Huairu was a little unwilling to give up, and knocked on He Yuzhu's door again. Liu Lan said impatiently: "Stop knocking! You broke my door today. We won't pay attention to you! Listen to my advice, if you can't make ends meet, go to the street office. If you don't want to go, I can help you find the street office."

What Qin Huairu feared most now was the word "street office". There was a family at the entrance of the alley. Their situation was similar. Because her mother-in-law offended someone, someone went to the street office to report their family. The man also lost his job because of this, and the whole family was sent back to their hometown.

Qin Huairu knew that she could not get any benefit from He Yuzhu, so she could only go to Yi Zhonghai's house. Before Qin Huairu arrived at Yi Zhonghai's house, Liu Guiying came out of the house. Liu Guiying said, "Qin Huairu, my old Yi is no longer the manager. He is no longer the master of your Dongxu. We can't take care of your family's affairs now. You should go to other families to have a look!"

Jia Zhang, who was keeping an eye on Qin Huairu in the room, heard what Liu Guiying said and immediately ran out of the room, shouting, "Damn it! Why doesn't your Yi Zhonghai become my Dongxu's master?!"

"Ouch!" Then Jia Zhang let out a scream. I don't know when the deaf old lady appeared behind Jia Zhang. Just when Jia Zhang cursed Liu Guiying for being the last one to die, the deaf old lady raised her cane. As soon as Jia Zhang finished speaking, the cane in the deaf old lady's hand fell on Jia Zhang's back. Jia Zhang was hit by the stick and reacted instantly. She blocked Qin Huairu in front of her and asked, "Why did you hit me?!"

"Just because you talk so dirty! I'm going to beat you to death today!" Then the deaf old lady continued to wave the cane in her hand at Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang dodged Qin Huairu for a few times, and ran back home when the deaf old lady wasn't paying attention. Liu Guiying also walked to the side of the deaf old lady, supporting her with one hand, and using the other hand to help her calm down. The deaf old lady looked at Jia's murderous eyes, panting, and roared: "Jia Zhang, if you have the guts, you'll never come out. Let me see you once! I'll beat you up!"

When Jia Dongxu heard the deaf old lady's voice, he complained, "Mom! Why did you bother this old lady for no reason?!"

Jia Zhang replied: "Can you blame me for this?!"

Jia Dongxu said, "Mom, give Huairu ten yuan tomorrow and ask her to buy some food. Also buy some meat and bones. Banggeng and I need some nourishment."

Jia Zhang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is ten dollars too much?!"

Jia Dongxu sighed and said, "Mom, you are really worried. Go buy food and vegetables with Huairu tomorrow."

Jia Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll go with her tomorrow." Then she asked, "Dongxu, what will you do if Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to be your master?!"

Jia Dongxu said, "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. This is not a work-related injury, so the factory can't let me rest for too long. I plan to let Qin Huairu take my shift at the factory. According to the current regulations, given our family's situation, Qin Huairu can transfer her household registration here as long as she works for half a year. Once she gets her household registration, the household registration of our two children can also be transferred back. In the future, our family's food rations will be more relaxed."

Jia Zhang said with some concern: "What if you give her the job and she sells it and runs away with someone else?!"

Jia Dongxu said: "I will write it down clearly when I go through the work procedures. In addition, I will go to the factory to collect her salary every month. Besides, I don't want her to work for too long. When my leg is healed, I can ask for her job back at worst."

Jia Zhang thought about it and nodded, "Since you have made up your mind, let's do as you wish. I will go and call Qin Huairu back. You can talk to her yourself." Then Jia Zhang walked to the door and opened it a crack. Seeing that the deaf old lady was not in the yard, she immediately opened the door and shouted at Qin Huairu, "Why don't you come back soon?!"

Seeing that Jia Zhang asked her to go home, Qin Huairu didn't dare to stay outside any longer and went home immediately. After waiting for Qin Huairu to enter the room, Jia Zhang closed the door and said, "Dongxu, you talk to her!"

Jia Dongxu stared at Qin Huairu with his eyes fixed on her. Qin Huairu felt frightened by Jia Dongxu's gaze. After about three or four minutes, Jia Dongxu said, "Qin Huairu, you know the injury on my leg. It will take more than a hundred days to heal. This is not a work-related injury, and the factory cannot let me rest all the time. The only way now is for you to go to work for me."

Qin Huairu asked: "Will the factory agree to this?!"

Jia Dongxu said, "It should be no problem. Tomorrow you will accompany me to the factory and we will go through the formalities. But I have to say this: I can give you the job, but I can also take it back. I will go to the factory to get my salary every month. So you don't have to worry about the salary. Also, when you have worked for half a year, go and transfer your household registration here. Don't drag it out this time."

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard that her household registration could be transferred. But Jia Dongxu didn't expect that the handover procedures at the factory tomorrow would not go smoothly, and he almost lost his job.
