Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 115 The Road to "White Lotus" Begins (Second Update)
Jia Zhang is not a good person...

Only recognize money, not people.

In the entire Jia family, the only person he cares about is Banggeng, and then Jia Dongxu.

I heard that Jia Dongxu had about 20 yuan left every month, and then I thought about how he went out early and came back late every day, not even eating at home, and had dark circles under his eyes every day, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.

The first thought that came to Jia Zhang's mind was that her son was fooling around outside.

All the twenty dollars a month was spent!
It would be great if I could leave so much money for my old age. Some little thoughts suddenly came to my mind.

But Jia Zhang refused Qin Huairu's proposal without even thinking about it.

She always felt that Qin Huairu secretly swallowed up the living expenses given to her by her son to subsidize her parents' home.

If she were given another five dollars every month, Qin Huairu would have more living expenses to embezzle.

Anyway, I would rather let my son spend the five dollars outside than give it to Qin Huairu.

As for not having money to eat meat.

As the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, Qin Huairu cannot just eat and not do anything.

If she really has no money, she can borrow it.

Anyway, this is not the first time.

Facing Qin Huairu's expectant gaze, he answered: "Huairu..."

"Although Dongxu's salary has increased...but as a mid-level fitter in the factory, he must have more social engagements."

"As his wife, you can't always pay attention to the little money he has. Instead, you should find a way to make money on your own to relieve Dongxu's pressure!"

"Our family depends on Dongxu to earn money outside. If something happens, the whole Jia family will be finished. We can't let him get tired!"

"I see he's been working very hard lately, with dark circles under his eyes every day, so it's better not to ask him for living expenses!"

Qin Huairu immediately stared at Jia Zhang with wide eyes, wanting to know what he was planning.

He was the one who wanted to eat meat, and he was also the one who was not allowed to ask Jia Dongxu for money.

How can I buy meat for her without money?

As for making money, how could a woman like me, who came from the countryside, had no education and had to take care of a breastfeeding baby, earn money?

Jia Zhang continued.

"Although I can't bring leftovers home..."

"But he still gets more than twenty yuan a month!"

"He eats in the cafeteria every day, so he doesn't have to pay. Only Yu Shui, that money-loser, has to pay..."

"Ten dollars a month is the best!"

“It would be such a waste if the remaining ten bucks were not used!”

"Doesn't the uncle often ask him to help our family?"

"You can go to him and say a few good words to him, and ask him to give us a dozen yuan a month. That way we can buy meat and have a few more meals of white flour buns!"

"If it doesn't work, you can help him wash his clothes..."

"Let him pay you ten dollars a month."

"Yushui is in school, and he's a bachelor, so he definitely won't know how to wash clothes... If you go and help him wash his clothes, he definitely won't refuse!"

Qin Huairu's face suddenly turned red, and she asked tentatively: "Mom..."

"I'm your daughter-in-law!"

"Zhu Zi is a big guy..."

"You want me to do his laundry... Isn't that a bad idea? If this gets out, how will he find a wife in the future?"

Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu and replied, "It's better not to marry a wife!"

"All the money that idiot Zhu earns at the steel mill from now on belongs to our Jia family!"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

Qin Huairu didn't show any movement on the surface, but her heart was full of turmoil. If He Yuzhu really married a wife, she would be in charge of him. Even if the steel mill allowed him to bring leftovers home in the future, there would be no share for the Jia family, let alone borrowing money!
The Jia family wanted to continue to take advantage of He Yuzhu and ask him to borrow money. The best way was to prevent him from getting married and make him a bachelor for the rest of his life.

Although it was very selfish to do so, Qin Huairu couldn't care less.

She has her own husband and her own children, and her family definitely comes first.

As for He Yuzhu, he was just a neighbor in the yard.

As long as I live a good life, it doesn't matter to me whether he lives a good life or not, or whether he can get married or not.

It was at this moment that Qin Huairu officially started her journey as a white lotus.

But she is the daughter-in-law of the Jia family after all.

Rumors are scary. If a rumor spreads about me washing clothes for He Yuzhu and eventually reaches Jia Dongxu's ears, causing a conflict between the couple, it would be a loss.

He immediately said to Jia Zhang: "Mom..."

"Since you don't mind your daughter-in-law doing Zhuzi's laundry, I'm sure I have no problem with that either."

"As long as I can make money, it doesn't matter if I have to work harder..."

"It's over there at Dongxu!"

"I'm worried he'll think too much after the rumor spreads!"

Jia Zhang shook her head and replied: "As long as you can make money, I will help you explain to Dongxu!"

"Isn't it just washing clothes?"

"I stay in the yard every day, watching you, what can happen?"

With Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu no longer had any worries in her heart and went straight to He Yuzhu's house in the central courtyard.

The reason why he was so anxious was that he had his own little thoughts.

Jia Zhang was worried that Qin Huairu hid her private money to subsidize her parents' home so she kept a close eye on her, and she did not agree with Jia Dongxu increasing her living expenses and giving her more money.

As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Qin Huairu was indeed hiding some private money.

Every time she went to the grain station or the pigeon market to buy expensive grain, she would find ways to embezzle a few cents or even a dollar.

In Qinjia Village, everyone envied their parents for finding a city man as a son-in-law, and Qin Huairu has always been proud of being able to move to the city and become a daughter-in-law.

In order to satisfy my vanity, every time I go back to my parents’ home, I want to bring some cakes and white flour from the city to my parents…

But Jia Zhang was too strict with her.

Every time I go back to my parents' home, I only give him one dollar. After deducting the car fare, the remaining few cents are not enough to buy gifts.

As a last resort, he could only start with the family’s food expenses.

Jia Zhang suggested that he earn money by washing clothes for He Yuzhu, which undoubtedly gave her an idea of ​​another good way to save some private money.

He colluded with He Yuzhu and reported less laundry fees to others, and the difference would go into his own pocket and become his own private money.

The reason why he was so anxious to find He Yuzhu was that he wanted to settle the matter first, and the two sides should directly discuss the excuses, so as to avoid letting Jia Zhang get there first and ruin his good deeds.

…………

He Yushui went to the grain station to buy grain today, and made a bowl of noodles without waiting for He Yuzhu to come home.

So He Yuzhu didn't have to cook when he got home today. He just lay down on the bed as soon as he entered the door and didn't want to move.

It is really too tiring to prepare five big pots of food every day and make them delicious.

For a moment, the idea of ​​asking Ma Hua to help him cook a big pot of food popped into his mind.

But when he thought of Yi Zhonghai's reminder that "teaching a disciple will starve the master", he resolutely suppressed the thought.

Before Wang Dong joined the steel rolling mill, he was able to call the shots in the canteen because no one's cooking skills were better than his. Even the factory leaders had to give him face.

If everyone in a cafeteria can cook, the value of one's existence will be low.
