The Jia family and Qin Huairu brought a plate of dumplings to the table. The three children couldn't wait to grab the dumplings and eat them.
Qin Huairu gave him a chopstick and said: "There are no rules, grandma hasn't eaten yet!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang saw that her hands were red, she held her grandson in her arms distressedly, and said angrily to Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, why are you beating my grandson!"
Qin Huairu said helplessly: "Mom, I am disciplining the child."
Jia Zhang said angrily: "Don't use your hands to discipline your children! Look at how hard you beat my grandson, his hands are all red."
"Grandma, my hand hurts." Banggeng cried to her grandma at the right time.
"Grandma, look at it." Mrs. Jia Zhang blew on Banggeng's hand and said with a distressed look on her face, "Grandma, let me feed you dumplings."
Huaihua and Xiaodang looked at Bangjie pitifully, wondering why grandma didn't come to comfort them.
Mrs. Jia Zhang picked up a piece of dumpling, blew a few mouthfuls, and fed it to Banggeng herself.
"Grandson, are the dumplings delicious?"
"It's not delicious. There's no meat in the dumplings, just pickled cabbage." Banggeng spit out the dumplings in one bite and said coquettishly to Jia Zhang, "Grandma, I want to eat meat."
Jia Zhang turned around and scolded Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, why don't you put meat in your dumplings?"
Qin Huairu said aggrievedly: "Mom, where did our family get the money to buy meat? I even borrowed this white flour from the uncle."
Mrs. Jia Zhang cursed and said: "That old Yi Zhonghai, since you are borrowing white noodles, why don't you borrow some meat?
You too, when you borrow some flour, why don't you get some meat?"
Qin Huairu felt extremely aggrieved. Ever since that incident, the Jia family's reputation in the compound had become bad. No one was willing to borrow food. Even this little white flour was not borrowed by the old pervert Yi Zhonghai in vain.
"Mom, it's not easy for anyone these days." Qin Huairu said.
Bangge got out of Jia Zhang's arms and said, "I saw that Silly Zhu prepared a lot of meat and vegetables."
Jia Zhang pointed at Qin Huairu and said, "Go, go to Silhu and bring back some meat for my grandson to eat."
Qin Huairu cried: "Si Zhu and I had a falling out a long time ago, how could he give me meat?"
"Then I don't care whether you go or not! Do you still want my old lady to beg Silly Zhu?" Mrs. Jia Zhang said impatiently.
"Mom, I want to eat meat." Huaihua and Xiaodang said pitifully as they lay on the table.
Qin Huairu looked at the three children, then gritted his teeth and walked to Mrs. Long's house.
But when she walked to the door and heard the laughter and laughter coming from inside, she hesitated for a moment.
Qin Huairu finally gritted his teeth and knocked on the door of Mrs. Long's house.
When He Yuzhu opened the door and saw Qin Huairu, his face sank.
"How did you come."
"Zhuzi, eat." Qin Huairu couldn't help but swallowed his saliva when he saw the table of dishes in the room.
He Yuzhu seemed to have guessed Qin Huairu's intention, and said before she could say anything: "I want to borrow some food, but there are none! We don't even have enough to eat ourselves."
After saying that, He Yuzhu closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, Qin Huairu's eyes suddenly turned red.
When the people in the room saw the scene at the door, no one said anything. Finally, Yi Zhonghai spoke:
"Zhuzi, it's not been easy for the Jia family this year. We have a lot of food, so we can't share it with them."
He Yuzhu sat down and said angrily: "The Jia family is just a bunch of white-eyed wolves. If I feed the dog something, and the dog wag its tail, they know that kindness will be repaid with hatred."
After all, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huai were a romantic couple, and she wanted to persuade her again, but the aunt kicked Yi Zhonghai under the table.
"It's Chinese New Year, why do you care about Jia's family?"
Wang Gang looked at Yi Zhonghai and his wife, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
He finally figured out that this aunt might know about Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, but she had been pretending to be confused.
Wang Gang also understood why she did this.
The eldest mother is in poor health and cannot have children, nor can she go out to work. The family's living expenses depend entirely on Yi Zhonghai's salary.
If Auntie and Yi Zhonghai get divorced, she won't know how to live the rest of her life, so she turns a blind eye to all the dirty things Yi Zhonghai does.
So! Both men and women should have their own careers, otherwise they will not be strong enough.
The people at the table quickly put aside Qin Huairu's matters and happily drank and ate.
Qin Huai outside the door was trembling with cold, and his heart was even more chilled.
She originally thought that it would be alright if He Yuzhu didn't help her, but Yi Zhonghai, an old guy, would definitely help her for the sake of the husband and wife's kindness overnight!
Qin Huairu returned home with a heavy heart, and happened to meet Xu Damao walking up with a bottle of wine and an oil paper bag on the way.
"Hey, isn't this Qin Huairu? Why are you standing outside the house blowing the air during the Chinese New Year?" Xu Damao took the initiative to walk towards Qin Huairu and said teasingly.
"Brother, I just came back from the New Year's Eve dinner at my parents' house, and I'm going to have a late-night snack."
Xu Damao proudly waved the oiled paper wrap in front of Qin Huairu, and suddenly the aroma of soy beef rushed into her nose.
"Xu Damao, what do you mean?"
Since they framed Xu Damao last time, they have never met each other again. Even if they did, Xu Damao would never look bad.
"Hey, Qin Huairu, you haven't been happy cleaning the toilet in the past two months." Xu Damao said with a wicked smile.
"You transferred me to clean the toilet!" Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao angrily.
"Otherwise, who do you think you are?" Xu Damao said with a smile.
"Xu Damao, what do you want to do? Yes, I framed you, but I have also been punished. Why are you still holding on to me?"
Xu Damao's face suddenly turned ferocious, and he said angrily: "I, Xu Damao, have never suffered such a big loss in my life. I didn't eat the fish and it made me smell fishy."
Qin Huairu suddenly realized that Xu Damao did so many things not to punish her, but to force her to submit.
Knowing the reason would be easier to handle. Qin Huairu gave Xu Damao a charming look and said, "Da Mao, how can you let Sister Qin go!"
Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat. He had drank a little wine and his blood was rising. When he saw Qin Huairu like this, he suddenly felt itchy and unbearable.
"Qin Huairu, it's easy if you don't want to wash the toilet." Xu Damao chuckled and suddenly hugged Qin Huairu's waist.
"We didn't finish the work that day, let's continue today!"
Qin Huairu struggled for a while, as if he was too weak to get away from Xu Damao. Half of his body was leaning on Xu Damao, but his eyes were fixed on the soy sauce beef in Xu Damao's hand.
"Brother Damao, you are so bold that even people in the courtyard dare to touch me." Qin Huairu lay on Xu Damao's chest and said.
"I'm already divorced, so why not?"
Xu Damao hugged Qin Huairu and ran home. Five minutes later, Qin Huairu left Xu Damao's house disheveled with a bag of soy sauce beef in his hand.
Back at Jia's house, the three children were all happy when they smelled the soy sauce beef.
Only Jia Zhang was a little suspicious. She found that Qin Huairu had buttoned the wrong button on her clothes, but it was still buttoned when she left.
However, Mrs. Jia and Zhang soon couldn't resist the aroma of soy sauce beef, and started eating the meat with their three children.
But Qin Huairu didn't eat a bite of meat, he just finished the pickled cabbage dumplings he made.
