Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 99 Reliance
Ten minutes later, Qin Huairu walked out of the house with a sad face after promising to give Jia Zhangshi three yuan of pension every month.

Her current salary after taking up the replacement job at the factory is only 17.5 yuan plus a 5 yuan allowance for her years of service, for a total of 22.5 yuan.

This amount of money is already tight to support the family, and now I have to spend another three dollars. Life is really hard.

"Zhu Zi, have you finished eating? Let's go to work."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was just calling He Yuzhu to go to work together. He wanted to have a good chat with He Yuzhu on the way to work to find out what went wrong.

"Okay, okay, isn't it still early? Uncle, you have an aunt to cook for you, but I have to do everything myself."

He Yuzhu drank the porridge in the bowl in one gulp, wiped his mouth, closed the door casually, and walked out of the room.

Seeing Qin Huairu coming out, he did not call her, which was unusual for him. He acted as if he didn't see her and walked out of the yard with Yi Zhonghai.

"Zhu Zi, are you mad at me? It was my mother-in-law who was wrong just now. I apologize to you."

Qin Huairu originally wanted to ask Sha Zhu to help her, but she didn't expect Sha Zhu to ignore her and chased after him without thinking.

Even if there is no more treats, she can still bring leftovers from the cafeteria, and these things are good for her now.

"Don't, Sister Qin, I really can't control your family's affairs. With your mother-in-law, even if I help her, she won't think anything good of me. She will still be on guard against me like a thief. It's better for us to have less contact with each other."

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance. Although he felt a little bit reluctant in his heart, he couldn't let go of the breath he was holding in, and he spoke with a little more alienation unconsciously.

"Zhu Zi, what Jia Zhang did was indeed excessive, and it's reasonable for you to be angry. But you can't stop interacting with Huai Ru because of Jia Zhang. For the sake of the three children, you have to help Huai Ru, and don't say anything angry."

Yi Zhonghai thought about the time when he and Sha Zhu talked about Jia Zhang's matter. Sha Zhu's disgusted look on his face, and he changed his words on the spur of the moment.

He knew Sha Zhu very well. Even though he said he wanted to have fun, he certainly couldn't harden his heart.

"Master, I'm not saying this out of anger. You didn't hear what Jia Zhang did to me just now. Forget it, forget it. I won't hesitate to tell you about this. I just can't swallow this anger!"

When He Yuzhu thought of Banggeng, Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua, he began to waver in his heart, but he did not give in at all.

In fact, what Jia Zhang said touched upon the thing he least wanted to think about.

He originally thought that only those people outside the yard didn't know the situation, so they gossiped about him and Sister Qin.

He didn't expect that even Jia Zhang, who knew the situation, thought this way about him. How would he find a wife in the future?

"Hey, Zhuzi, you can't just look at what someone says, you have to look at what she did before. Jia Zhangshi said that in anger. Huairu usually cleans the house and washes clothes for you, and Jia Zhangshi never said a word. You are a man, can't you be more generous in doing things? How can you forget Huairu's kindness to you just because of a few words? How can you be so immoral?"

Yi Zhonghai was relieved at this time. He heard what Jia Zhang said about Sha Zhu, and he also understood why Sha Zhu was so angry this time.

As long as we know what Shazhu is thinking, this problem can be easily solved.

"Zhuzi, my mother-in-law missed Dongxu yesterday. You know, she has been feeling uneasy since Dongxu left, which is why she quarreled with me this morning. If you are angry, take it out on me. I am sorry for you, so you can vent your anger however you want."

As Qin Huairu spoke, she glanced at Yi Zhonghai cautiously. She didn't know whether her words would offend Yi Zhonghai. After all, compared to the leftovers that Sha Zhu could bring, the help Yi Zhonghai gave her in the workshop was more important.

After seeing that Yi Zhonghai's expression did not change at all, she finally felt relieved.

She will try it again in a couple of days. If Yi Zhonghai has no objection, she can also ask for some benefits from other male workers in the workshop.

The only thing she can rely on now is her pretty good face. Even if she doesn't want fame, she has to make sure her children don't have to live a hard life.

"Sister Qin, it's not that you are sorry for me. I'm just angry at what your mother-in-law said to me. Let me be alone for a while, and I'll calm down and this matter will be over."

Seeing Qin Huairu like this, He Yuzhu couldn't bear to be so tough with her anymore and couldn't help but let go.

"That's right, you have to be more generous. Zhuzi, don't accuse me of helping Jia Zhangshi. I asked someone to inquire for you yesterday, and there will definitely be a reply today. I will bring the girl to you in a couple of days. Didn't you say you didn't want to find a girl from a scholar's family? This time, the eldest uncle found a girl from a worker's family for you. When the time comes, ask your Aunt Jia to talk to the girl on your behalf, and ask Huairu to help you clean up the house. It will definitely work this time."

Seeing that Sha Zhu's anger had almost subsided, Yi Zhonghai smiled and coaxed Sha Zhu.

This time is just right. It will not be linked to what happened today. It will only make Sha Zhu feel that he has always been thinking about him.

"Come on, I'm thankful that Aunt Jia doesn't say bad things about me. She can even say good things about me."

Although he said that, a smile already appeared on He Yuzhu's face, and he didn't even realize it.

"Zhu Zi, don't worry. I will definitely ask my mother-in-law to speak well of you and make sure the girl has a good impression of you."

Qin Huairu made a promise immediately, but she was wondering what Yi Zhonghai was thinking this time.

But no matter what, the most important thing now is to stabilize Sha Zhu, and what to do next is another matter for later.

"Okay, if Aunt Jia can help me put in a good word, this matter will be over. I will give all the lunch boxes I brought back these days to your family."

He Yuzhu saw that she was so confident and didn't seem to be lying, so he immediately promised her a benefit.

Xu Damao is married, and Zhou Weimin is about to get married too. I heard that the matchmaker has been to Yan Jiecheng many times, and he is really anxious to find a wife.

If he were the only bachelor in the family, where would he put his face?

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded. It was the right thing for her to chase him this time. Not only did she coax Sha Zhu back, but she also had a plan for dinner for the next few days.

Yi Zhonghai has already started thinking about what kind of girl to find for Sha Zhu this time.

As for the girls in the factory, they definitely have no objection to Sha Zhu's conditions, and they will not have the same cultural pursuits as the previous girls.

Then we can only start from other aspects, but it’s just a pretense, we can’t really make it happen.
