Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 492: Darkened Qin Huairu (First Update)
The central courtyard of a quadrangle.

After losing his job at the steel rolling mill, Qin Huairu looked for a job on the street for several days but to no avail.

In order to avoid losing his income, he had no choice but to register on the street and make matchboxes at home.

Although the money is little, it's at least three or four cents a day, which is better than living off the savings at home.

Today, Qin Huairu sat at the door of her house, basking in the sun and making matchboxes as usual.

After she finishes the pile of matchboxes in front of her, she can go to the street to exchange them for money.

If nothing unexpected happens, she can earn at least three dollars by handing in the pasted matchboxes this time.

Although it is not much, since his living expenses all come from Banggeng and Yi Zhonghai, these two dollars will be his private money.

From this point of view, Qin Huairu is still very satisfied.

I used to work in a steel mill. Although I could earn 18 yuan a month, most of it was used to sell food to support my family.

Although Yi Zhonghai pays more than ten yuan for his living expenses every month, he can still only save three or four yuan in private pocket every month.

Although I no longer have a stable job or income and can only make money by pasting matchboxes, all the wages are my own and I don’t have to spend a penny.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, it's fine to save six or seven dollars of pocket money every month.

As I thought about it, the frustration caused by losing my job at the steel mill was suddenly swept away, and I began to look forward to and look forward to my future life.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, there were still some matchboxes that had not been pasted. Qin Huairu planned to work overtime tonight to paste all the remaining matchboxes, and go to the street to exchange money early tomorrow morning to put the two dollars into his pocket early to avoid being targeted by Jia Zhang.

Just when Qin Huairu was working hard, Jia Zhang's commanding voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Huairu..."

"Can't you see it's almost dark? Why aren't you cooking yet?"

"Bang Geng and Lao Yi are about to get off work and go home!"

"They have worked hard in the steel mill all day, and you, as a mother, didn't prepare the meal in advance. Do you expect them to wait for you to cook while hungry?"

"I don't know if you have any sense at all!"

"Hurry up and cook!"

Qin Huairu was stunned on the spot, with a look of shock on her face. She frowned and asked, "Mom!"

"When you gave the job to Bang Geng, didn't you say you would still be the one cooking from now on?"

"Besides, I'm busy making matchboxes right now, so I don't have time to cook!"

"Bang Geng and Godfather will be back soon, hurry up and cook, otherwise they will have nothing to eat when they get home!"

"If you can't handle it, call your godmother to help!"

Jia Zhang was furious when she heard this and scolded her without any hesitation: "Qin Huairu, you are such a jerk..."

"Are you not listening to me now?"

"If I hadn't said that, would you have been so willing to give the job to Bang Geng?"

"Hurry up and cook..."

"Isn't it just pasting matchboxes? Go and paste another one after dinner!"

Seeing Qin Huairu still sitting there with a shocked expression, Jia Zhang became even angrier: "Hurry up and cook!"

"You don't have a job now, I'm not afraid of you!"

"The person who makes money in the Jia family now is Bang Geng, and Bang Geng is the head of our family!"

"Bang Geng is my grandson, so he must love me more!"

"If you don't go cook, wait for Bang Geng to come back and see if he will help me or you!"

"I'm telling you, Qin Huairu: You are unemployed now. If you don't obey me, as Banggeng's grandmother, I can kick you out of the Jia family at any time and make you homeless!"

Qin Huairu's face was filled with despair. When Yi Zhonghai asked her to give up her job to Bang Geng, she had thought of this ending.

But I didn't expect the end to come so soon.

Just now, Jia Zhangshi was asked to leave her job for ten days and she refused to act. Relying on Bang Geng's support, she herself had no job and started to treat herself like a beast of burden.

But the Qin Huairu now is no longer the Qin Huairu of a few years ago.

In the face of Jia Zhang's mocking arrogance, he still sat on the chair pasting matchboxes, with no intention of cooking.

Faced with such a scene, it was Jia Zhang's turn to be confused.

He stared at Qin Huairu with wide eyes and asked, "Are you really not afraid that I will kick you out of the Jia family?"

"Now that you have lost your job at the steel mill, if I really kick you out of the Jia family, you will definitely have no place to live and will have to go back to the countryside to suffer!"

"Qin Huairu..."

"You have to think about it!"

"If you want to continue staying in the Jia family, you must obey me and do what I say."

Qin Huairu retorted sharply: "Mom..."

"If Bang Geng really listens to you and kicks me out of the Jia family, then I, Qin Huairu, will just pretend I don't have this son."

"Although my reputation around here isn't that great, I think I look pretty good!"

"If it doesn't work out, I'll just find someone nearby to marry!"

"Then you can live in the city as usual, and you won't have to wait on this person or that person!"

The shocked expression on Jia Zhang's face was immediately replaced by fear.

How come this result is completely different from what I imagined?

She originally thought that after Qin Huairu lost her job at the steel rolling mill, she would lose her support and leave herself to the mercy of her mother-in-law. Then, Jia Zhang could sit on the throne of the Jia family's local emperor again and be served by Qin Huairu.

But Qin Huairu turned the table over and attacked him.

Although Qin Huairu doesn't cook at the Jia family now, she is the one who buys groceries, buys food, takes care of Xiaodang, Kuihua...

If she really turned the table over and left the Jia family and remarried someone else, all the things Qin Huairu is doing now would be her responsibility, and she would be exhausted to death.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang couldn't help but flash a trace of fear on her face.

But she did not give up the idea of ​​suppressing Qin Huairu because of this threat.

With a frown on his face, he mustered up the courage to ask back, "Are you really willing to give up Bang Geng as your son?"

"If you really leave the Jia family and abandon Banggeng and Kuihua, your reputation in the street will be completely ruined, and no one will dare to marry you!"

Qin Huairu seemed to have been blackened. She was not afraid of Jia Zhang's threats at all. She snorted coldly and replied: "My son is going to drive me out of the Jia family. What else do I need him for!"

"As for reputation..."

"My reputation as Qin Huairu is bad enough now. I don't mind adding the bad reputation of abandoning my son and daughter in order to remarry."

"As for remarrying..."

"There are so many people in the city who can't find a wife. I, Qin Huairu, think I look pretty good."

"If I really decide to remarry, I can still marry myself off no matter how bad my reputation is!"

"To put it bluntly!"

"If I tell Yi Zhonghai that I will marry him and give him a son, Yi Zhonghai will definitely divorce Aunt Yi immediately without saying a word and then marry me!"

"you dare!"

After hearing Qin Huairu's last words, Jia Zhang was completely panicked and screamed!
