Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

a few days later.

Qin Huairu slowly accepted the reality that Jia Dongxu was gone.

After all, she still has to raise her two children and the unborn baby in her belly, so she has to be strong.

She felt that it was unreliable to rely on Jia Zhang's words.

Today is Sunday and no one in the hospital has to go to work.

At noon, Qin Huairu just opened the cupboard and found that there was no food left.

So she said to Jia Zhang: "Mom, there is no food at home, please give me some money."

"No, where would I get the money?"

When she heard that they wanted money, Jia Zhang became anxious and shook her head repeatedly, saying she had no money.

Are you kidding me? Once the money is in her hands, it belongs to her. Do you want her to take it out? Isn't that asking for her life?

This money is all her retirement money!

"Mom, Dongxu's pension was 300 yuan, and now it's gone? What did you do with it?"

Qin Huairu became extremely anxious when she heard Jia Zhang say that she had no money.

"That's the money I saved for Banggeng's wedding. Don't even think about it."

Jia Zhang glared.

Qin Huairu felt bitter in her heart. The words sounded nice, but how big of a joke could it be?

I think you should keep it for your old age?

After all, Jia Zhang is an experienced person. Qin Huairu is still young. If the money is spent and she remarries and runs away, how can she survive?

Therefore, you should keep the money in your own hands to feel at ease.

"If there is no food at home, what will the children eat?"

Qin Huairu was so anxious that she was about to cry.

All the money in the family was in Jia Zhang's hands, and she didn't have a penny.

I haven’t started working yet, what should I do in the future?

"You'll find your own way."

Jia Zhang lowered her head and continued to sew the soles of her shoes, no longer paying attention to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to go to the Yi family.

"Uncle, are you home?"

Yi Zhonghai and his wife were having dinner. Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai put down his chopsticks and walked out.

"Huai Ru, is there something wrong?"

Qin Huairu bit her lip and finally said, "Uncle, we are out of food at home, can you lend me some?"

Borrow food?

Yi Zhonghai was stunned and frowned, "Didn't the factory just give your family 300 yuan in compensation?"

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and said, "My mother said that it was reserved for Banggeng to marry a wife, so it can't be touched."

...Yi Zhonghai was speechless when he heard this.

Even a dog wouldn't believe this.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you a few pounds of corn flour."

Yi Zhonghai agreed and went to get a few pounds of corn flour for Qin Huairu.

You have to agree to this.

Just like what Jia Zhang said, no one can say that he became estranged from the Jia family just because Jia Dongxu was gone.

Otherwise his reputation would be gone.

"Thank you, uncle. I will pay you back when I get paid."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and Qin Huairu went back.

Yi Zhonghai went back to continue eating.

The first lady couldn't help but said, "Old Yi, this is not a solution. With Jia Zhang's temper, Qin Huairu will definitely come to borrow grain again in the future."

"I have my measure."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said nothing.

Seeing this, the aunt stopped talking.

After all, Yi Zhonghai was in charge of all family affairs, and she could only make a suggestion at most.

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai went to Sha Zhu's house.

Whatever an old lady can think of, he can naturally think of as well.

With Jia Zhang's stubborn personality, she will definitely not take out the money later.

Then he will have to pay the bill in the end.

If it was in the past, it would be fine, after all, he still relied on Jia Dongxu to support him in his old age.

But now that Jia Dongxu is gone, he definitely wouldn't want to continue supporting the Jia family.

So he thought of Sha Zhu.

It just so happens that Sha Zhu was his retirement backup, and now that Jia Dongxu is gone, it’s time to make him his permanent replacement.

However, he still needs to be tested. If he is not satisfied, he will have to continue to "teach him well".

Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door: "Zhu Zi, are you home?"

"exist."

Sha Zhu opened the door and asked, "Uncle, have you eaten?"

"I ate and came to talk to you about something."

After Yi Zhonghai sat down, Sha Zhu asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Zhu Zi, your brother Dong Xu used to be good to you, right? I remember when your father just left, your family had no food, and he even lent it to you."

"There is such a thing."

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Uncle, if you have any problem, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can."

"Zhu Zi, I was right about you."

Yi Zhonghai praised him, and then said helplessly: "You also know that your sister Qin's family will be sad when Dongxu leaves. They have no income now and can't even afford to eat."

Sha Zhu was puzzled and said, "That's not right! I heard that the factory gave 300 yuan in pension!"

"The money has all gone into Jia Zhang's hands. You know that person, too. Can she take out the money after it's in her hands?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Just now your sister Qin came to borrow food from me. You know, although your uncle's salary is high, your aunt is not in good health and has to take medicine all year round, so there is not much money left."

"It's okay once or twice, but if it keeps going like this, there's nothing I can do."

"That Jia Zhang is such a ruthless person. Is she going to starve Sister Qin and the child to death?"

Sha Zhu said indignantly that he felt so distressed when he heard that Qin Huairu's family had no food, and he wanted to take the food from his home and send it to her immediately.

"Pillar."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai rebuked: "No matter what, Jia Zhang is still an elder. Don't say these things in the future."

Sha Zhu curled his lips in dissatisfaction, but still kept his mouth shut.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was obedient, Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction.

After a pause, Sha Zhu asked, "So, uncle, you came here this time to ask me to lend food to Sister Qin?"

"That won't work. Now the money of the Jia family is in the hands of Jia Zhang. If Huairu doesn't go to work for a day, she will have no income."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "What I mean is that you can bring some leftovers from the cafeteria every day and wait for Huairu to go to work."

"what?"

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Uncle, I told you last time, where are the leftovers in the cafeteria now? And don't even mention asking me to stay in advance. I've already been punished once, and I don't want to lose my job."

Shazhu still knows what is important.

Although he felt sorry for his sister Qin, what would he eat if he lost his job?

"You still have the nerve to say it?"

Yi Zhonghai pointed at Sha Zhu and said angrily: "Last time I asked you to save some in advance, but I didn't ask you to save only the good ones. How can there not be trouble?"

"Just take a little of everything this time, and then say it's leftovers from lunch. Who would dare to say anything?"

"This..." Sha Zhu was still a little hesitant.

"If you don't want to help, forget it. I guess I made a mistake. I still have some cornmeal. I'll give it to Huairu later. We'll figure out the rest later."

Yi Zhonghai said this and pretended to leave.

He was testing Sha Zhu to see if he was qualified to become a regular employee.

If you don't even listen to him, then I will definitely not provide for him in his old age.

"I didn't say I wouldn't help!"

Sha Zhu was also anxious. If these words got to Sister Qin's ears, how would he face her in the future?

"I promised, isn't that enough?"

"That's right! We are all neighbors, we should help each other!"

Only then did Yi Zhonghai laugh.
