Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 107 Ugly
"Yushui is such a pitiful girl. No wonder Weimin told me that Yi Zhonghai is the most calculating person in the courtyard. This is too much."

Jiang Qiuna sent He Yushui to the door and closed the door when she came back, her eyes still full of pity.

"We can't help it. When Uncle He left, Yu Shui was still young, and Sha Zhu wasn't that old either. Without an adult at home, everyone would think they were easy to bully, and there would always be people with crooked minds in their daily lives."

Zhou Weimin shook his head. Among those who had no parental care in childhood, Sha Zhu and He Yushui were considered to have lived a good life.

There are too many families like this one that are bullied to the point of despair.

No matter what era it is, human nature has an ugly side.

It's just that Yi Zhonghai wanted to find a backup for his retirement and to establish his hypocrisy in the yard, while some people chose to directly bully, rob, oppress and steal from such people.

"I don't know what Yu Shui's father was thinking. He actually abandoned his two children and ran away with someone else. Doesn't he feel guilty?"

Jiang Qiuna thought about it and realized that it was just as Wei Min said. In the final analysis, it was Yu Shui's father's fault.

"Actually, the only person Uncle He feels sorry for is Yu Shui. He has done well enough for Sha Zhu. When he left, Sha Zhu was able to take over. He was given the skills, the job, and the house. The only thing he was asked to do was to take care of Yu Shui. Before, Sha Zhu was a competent brother, but since Jia Dongxu left, his mind has been crooked. Yu Shui is doing so much now just for Sha Zhu. Otherwise, if it was just for herself, she wouldn't have to do this at all."

Zhou Weimin shook his head. He didn't know the inside story of He Daqing's matter, so it was difficult for him to comment.

But he knew that everything He Yushui was doing now was to pull Sha Zhu out of the quagmire.

Even though Sha Zhu was about to fight with her for Qin Huairu, she was still trying to find ways to help her brother.

At least for now, He Yushui has done enough for Sha Zhu.

"This silly girl... I'm going to go cook first. The guards should be back soon."

Jiang Qiuna murmured softly, and then stopped talking about He Yushui and got up to cook.

Although she felt sorry for He Yushui, she didn't want Zhou Weimin to take care of this matter.

It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, and interfering in such matters will often be a thankless task.

No matter how much you feel sorry for He Yushui, he is just her neighbor, and Zhou Weimin is her husband!
Zhou Weimin looked at the notebook on the table, thought for a while, put it away, and then started working with Jiang Qiuna.

It is meaningful to write a book together, and cooking together is actually quite fun.

When Guard Zhou arrived in the yard, the two men had just brought the dishes to the table and sat down at it.

"Brother, sister-in-law, what delicious food did you make today? It smells so good."

After mounting his bicycle and washing his hands, Guard Zhou walked into the house laughing.

"It's shredded potatoes, stewed radish, stir-fried cabbage and egg drop soup. Your sister-in-law is a great cook and it smells delicious."

Zhou Weimin followed up with a compliment to Jiang Qiuna and handed a steamed bun to the guard.

"Then I have to eat more today. I am so tired today."

As Weibing Zhou said this, he took a big bite of the steamed bun, picked up a piece of shredded potatoes with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Jiang Qiuna scooped a bowl of soup for Guard Zhou and said with a smile, "Slow down, be careful not to choke, drink some soup."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Guard Zhou took the bowl, swallowed the bun, smiled and thanked, then said: "Brother, today I saw Qin Huairu flirting with Niu Mazi from the workshop in the cafeteria, and even asked him to pay for the meal ticket and buy two buns. I don't know what she was thinking, it's a good thing that Shazhu didn't get his meal at the window today, otherwise she would be so angry that she would die."

"Silly Zhu hasn't entertained anyone recently, so even if there are leftovers, she will naturally make up for it from other places."

Zhou Weimin was not surprised at all. Qin Huairu had no feelings for Sha Zhu now. She just wanted Sha Zhu to continue to help her family.

Now that the lunch box that Sha Zhu brought back was empty, and she wanted to let the children eat something good, this was the only way. Jiang Qiuna couldn't help but frowned as she listened to the conversation between the two.

She knew that life was hard for a widow, and in order to make ends meet, some people would do things that were against women's ethics.

But no matter how she looked at it, Qin Huairu's family wasn't living to the point where they needed to go through this.

Wei Min had told her yesterday that her husband had a lot of pension, and people in the hospital had donated a lot before, so there was no need to do such a thing.

Unconsciously, Jiang Qiuna felt a bit disgusted with Qin Huairu.

Guard Zhou said with a strange look on his face, "Didn't Shazhu go to make a feast yesterday? I saw him come back late at night with a lot of things."

When he went out to the toilet last night, he happened to run into Sha Zhu, who was holding something and showing off in front of him.

Zhou Weimin smiled and said nonchalantly: "I guess Shazhu came back late and didn't give the things to Qin Huairu."

It is normal for Sha Zhu to cook for the banquet. After all, Nan Yi has just arrived not long ago, and his reputation in this area is not as famous as Sha Zhu's. When inviting a chef for a wedding, everyone will naturally think of Sha Zhu first.

"That's right, brother and sister-in-law. I'm done eating, you guys take your time. I'm going to the backyard to look for Master Liu."

Weibing Zhou thought about it and it made sense. It was just a topic of conversation after dinner and it would be over in a moment. Who cared about the facts?

He finished a few bites of the steamed bun, ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables, drank the soup in the bowl, then stood up and walked towards the backyard.

He looked at a clamp today and had some ideas for improvement. He had to ask Liu Haizhong about it. This was what he needed to think about.

Seeing that Guard Zhou hurried out, Jiang Qiuna took a plate and put some dishes on it, put a steamed bun on it, and finally covered it with a bowl. Then she smiled and said to Zhou Weimin, "Weimin, take this to the guard's room later. He only ate one steamed bun. He must be hungry at night, so he needs something to fill his stomach."

"Okay, I'll bring it to him later."

Zhou Weimin nodded and watched Jiang Qiuna do these things with a smile.

Ever since Jiang Qiuna came into the family, he basically doesn’t have to worry about anything at home, which is much easier than before.

Thinking that he would have to go to work tomorrow, he smiled and asked, "Qiuna, have you thought about work?"

Jiang Qiuna scooped herself a bowl of soup and said with a smile: "I don't plan to go to the factory. There must be someone to take care of the house, otherwise it won't feel like a home. You and Weibing can rest and eat hot meals every day after work. Weimin, you can deal with the replacement quota. You can sell it or keep it for Weihong as a dowry."

If Wei Min was still a purchasing agent in the factory, she would think about going to work in the factory so that Wei Min would have less pressure and wouldn't have to run around for the family from morning till night.

But now Wei Min is the deputy director of the canteen. The money he earns every month is enough to cover his family expenses, and his salary will increase after he becomes the canteen director.

If she could take care of the household and the daily life of the three siblings, it would be of much greater help to Wei Min than working in the factory.

As the leader has a lot of things to deal with at the factory, she takes care of the family affairs so that Wei Min doesn't have to worry and can have a good rest at home.

If you put more energy into your work, you will make fewer mistakes.

"Qiuna, thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Weimin looked at Jiang Qiuna with tenderness in her eyes and knew that she made this decision for the sake of her family.

After all, Jiang Qiuna really wanted to have a formal job before, but now she decided to stay at home, and the reason is very clear.

"We are husband and wife, so there is no such thing as hard work. Besides, I don't have to do anything on weekdays. I just clean the house, wash clothes and cook. It's much easier than working in a factory."

Jiang Qiuna smiled gently and comforted Zhou Weimin.
