Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Li Mei is seven years younger than Cao Xing, while He Yushui is only two years younger than Cao Xing. Therefore, in her opinion, He Yushui still has a great chance.

Although she didn't want to share Cao Xing with other women, Cao Xing's excellence was obvious to all, and she knew she couldn't control him, especially in that aspect.

If Cao Xing didn't give her water to drink after each act, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for the whole month.

The two women had different thoughts, but Cao Xing just focused on cooking.

He rarely cooks so many dishes himself, so he has to reward himself.

The three of them were also talking and laughing. In He Yushui's eyes, Cao Xing seemed to be very knowledgeable no matter what topic she talked about.

She admired Cao Xing's insights and knowledge.

The courtyard was filled with laughter and joy, and the festive atmosphere was quite strong.

Even with Yi Zhonghai's family, the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu were sitting there. The four of them were talking and laughing, forgetting the hardships they had endured in the past few months.

But the Jia family is the only one that is not so harmonious.

They also cooked two more dishes, with meat and white flour steamed buns, which were quite delicious.

However, Jia Zhang had a characteristic, which was that she couldn't stand other families living better than her.

Now, seeing the table full of dishes at the Yi family across the street, and Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu toasting each other, she got angry.

"Dongxu, go to Yi Zhonghai's house and bring some dishes. Why do they have to eat ten dishes for four people, while we only have five dishes for five people, including the one in Qin Huairu's belly?"

Xiaodang was taken away by Qin Xuejun a few months ago, so including the one Qin Huairu was pregnant with, there were only five people.

When Jia Dongxu heard this, his face turned a little ugly.

Usually Yi Zhonghai would invite them to dinner during the Chinese New Year, but not this year.

Ever since Yi Zhonghai was discharged from the hospital, they helped him stabilize his position as a second-level worker. The others rarely interacted with him and were much colder than before.

This made him confused. The news that he was his son had already spread out, but now he was becoming increasingly cold towards him. Wasn't he at a disadvantage?

"Mom, I can go, but I'm worried that idiot Zhu will do something. He's a scoundrel and it's not impossible for him to do something on New Year's Day."

Jia Zhang's eyes turned cold and she secretly cursed her son for being a waste.

Then he turned his gaze to Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, Bang Geng wants to eat the food made by Sha Zhu. Go and bring a few dishes for Bang Geng to try."

Qin Huairu was stunned: "Don't we have meat dishes?"

Jia Zhang slammed the table and said coldly, "Just go if I tell you to. Why are you wasting so much time? Hurry up."

Qin Huairu was now frightened when she looked at Jia Zhang's gaze, so she quickly picked up a basin and left.

Jia Dongxu didn't even bother to go along, and remained indifferent as he watched his wife beg humbly.

Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were drinking when they suddenly heard Qin Huairu's voice outside.

"Uncle, Zhuzi, old lady, I'm here to see you."

When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu, who was pregnant, holding a basin in her hand, he knew what she was going to do.

"Huai Ru, what are you doing here so late?"

Yi Zhonghai's suspicions about Jia Dongxu being his son grew stronger and stronger, but time was pressing and he had no choice but to believe it.

But now it seems that Jia Zhang might have just made up nonsense in order to save her life, so she doesn't like Jia Dongxu either.

I just want to wait for an opportunity to confirm it later.

There is no such thing as DNA paternity testing at present. Forensic identification now mostly relies on blood type testing, and the accuracy rate depends on fate.

Therefore, ordinary people usually judge such things by facial features.

However, although he was indifferent to the Jia family, he cared about Qin Huairu.

This woman is an important part of his future control over Sha Zhu, so he treats her a little better.

If Yi Zhonghai's attitude was still good, the deaf old lady's attitude clearly showed that she disliked him.

At her age, Yi Zhonghai already has someone to take care of her in her old age, and Sha Zhu is also developing in this direction, so naturally she wants to make Sha Zhu's life easier.

That's why she didn't want Sha Zhu to have too much contact with the Jia family.

If Yi Zhonghai knew what she was thinking, he would probably be so angry that he could not breathe.

You say you are not afraid because you have me and Sha Zhu to take care of you, but I am not. This man is too selfish. If it weren't for the fact that this old woman has a good reputation and he could gain a good reputation by taking care of her in her old age, he would have kicked her out long ago!

On the other hand, when Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu coming, his eyes lit up and he stood up suddenly.

"Sister Qin, you haven't eaten yet, come sit down and eat something. Let me tell you, I cooked several hard dishes today, come and try them."

"I won't sit down. It's because that kid Banggeng insisted that the food I cooked wasn't as delicious as his uncle Zhuzi's, so he insisted on asking me to bring some back for him."

Sha Zhu patted his chest and said, "That's nothing. Just give him some to try. Banggeng is a smart kid. I've liked him since he was a kid."

When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu's show-off attitude towards Sha Zhu, he felt proud and became more certain of his plan.

"Thank you, Zhuzi."

"What's the big deal? It's my duty. By the way, Sister Qin, why don't you ask me for lunch boxes recently?"

Everyone at the table was stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that this idiot Zhu would be so eager to deliver lunch boxes to others.

Especially the deaf old lady, her originally kind-looking face changed when she heard these words.

Well, it turns out that the lunch boxes given to me were leftovers from other people, so it seems that this grandson is just like that.

Sha Zhu was so careless that he didn't notice other people's expressions at all.

Qin Huairu said awkwardly: "You still have a younger sister to take care of, and Yu Shui is in the period of growth, so I want Yu Shui to eat more."

"Her? She only weighs a few pounds and she's full after just one bite. She can't finish that."

Qin Huairu had already poured half of each dish on the table into the large basin, and walked out with the basin, saying, "Zhu Zi, uncle, and madam, thank you very much. I will help you wash your clothes later."

After saying that, she ran out holding the basin. She didn't want to talk to Sha Zhu for a moment. It was so disgusting.

She couldn't accept this kind of indifference to family members.

No matter how much of a white lotus she is, she is still good to her own children. People like Sha Zhu are heartless to put it nicely, and beasts to put it bluntly.

Still a brainless bastard.

When Qin Huairu returned to the Jia family, she had just put the dishes on the table and no one was sitting down when she heard Jia Zhang's instructions.

"You can go to Cao Xing's house and have a look. Maybe he has more food."

"Mom, it's Chinese New Year now. I just lost face. If I go to Cao Xing, won't I be scolded?"

"What are you talking about? He is your uncle, what can he do to you? Another small bowl like this will be enough for our food tomorrow. Go quickly."

Then the family stopped talking, and the three of them concentrated on cooking, almost reaching out to grab the food.

Qin Huairu sighed secretly, when will this day end?

Helplessly, he took the basin and walked out.

When she came to Cao Xing's door in the backyard and heard the laughter inside, she couldn't help but shed tears.

This is how life should be lived. In the Jia family, she was treated like a beast.

If it weren't for Cao Xing's warning, he would probably have been beaten by Jia Zhang on New Year's Eve.
