The He family's actions attracted the attention of everyone in the compound, and everyone gathered around.

"Lao He, are you planning to renovate the house to make it easier for Zhuzi to get married?"

Liu Haizhong ran over and asked curiously.

"This is because Lao He is getting married and is planning to add partitions to his house. It's not because of Sha Zhu, but it actually makes things convenient for Sha Zhu. After all, if Sha Zhu wants to get married, he still needs to add partitions!"

Yan Bugui explained for He Daqing.

"Lao He, are you going to marry again? The first one was Silly Zhu Niang, the second one was White Widow, who is it this time? We marry one wife in our lifetime, you want to have three?"

Liu Haizhong didn't know whether he said it with contempt or envy.

"Why are you envious? You can also divorce your wife and marry another one!"

He Daqing stared at Liu Haizhong with his dead fish eyes and said coldly.

"You, I'm not like you. It's enough for me to marry one in my life!"

Liu Haizhong glanced at the second aunt beside him and showed his loyalty.

"You coward, you have the will but not the courage!"

He Daqing looked at Liu Haizhong with disdain and said.

"you……"

"Alright, alright, what's there to argue about? Everyone has their own way of living. We just need to take care of ourselves and why should we bother with others? It's not worth arguing over this!"

Yan Bugui tried to smooth things over, but he had to accept two gifts, so he spoke in He Daqing's favor.

"He Yushui, your dad is getting married again, what do you think?"

Xu Damao came over and asked at some point.

"I don't have any ideas. If my dad wants to marry me, then I can marry him. As long as he doesn't leave the city again!"

After He Yushui came back, he found out that Zhang Juan was from Sijiucheng and worked in a textile factory, so He Daqing would not run away again. That was enough.

Chapter 257: The Proud Jia Zhang

"Aren't you afraid that he will run away again? Uncle He has a previous experience. Hey, who hit me?"

Xu Damao began to interrogate He Yushui's soul, but suddenly he was slapped on the back of his head. He turned around angrily and questioned him.

"Your grandfather, who asked you to sow discord here? If you dare to talk nonsense here again, believe it or not, I will slap you in the face."

Sha Zhu came up to Xu Damao and asked aggressively.

"I'm just telling the truth, why are you angry?" Xu Damao said weakly.

"We don't need you to interfere in our family affairs. Keep your nose out of it!"

"Tsk, if you don't want to tell me then don't tell me. I don't even want to tell you!"

Xu Damao curled his lips and walked away. This idiot Zhu deserved to die. Don't let him find a chance. If he finds one, he will kill him.

"Let's go home. There's nothing to see!" Liu Haizhong took the second aunt back.

Seeing this, everyone else left, except Yan Bugui, who reminded He Daqing to give him two gifts before leaving.

"Brother Lin Fan, do you think Liu Haizhong is envious of He Daqing?"

Lin Fan and Fang Meng watched silently what happened in front of Sha Zhu's door at home. At this time, Lou Xiao'e had already returned home.

"Who knows? But it's a possibility!"

"Then do you envy He Daqing?" Fang Meng suddenly changed the subject and asked about Lin Fan himself.

"Of course I'm not envious, having you is enough for me!"

How could such a sudden attack stump Lin Fan? He remained calm and spoke nice words.

"You're good at talking. Let's go back to the space and grill some lamb kebabs!" Fang Meng said happily.

"Are you hungry so soon?"

Lin Fan looked at Fang Meng's stomach thoughtfully. He didn't expect that she could eat so much!

"Hehe, I deliberately ate less for dinner to save some space for the lamb kebabs later!"

Fang Meng said somewhat embarrassedly.

Lin Fan smiled and touched Fang Meng's head, then took her to the grassland in the space to grill lamb kebabs.

At this time, Jia Zhang was showing off proudly to Qin Huairu at home.

"Huai Ru, get ready to take over at the steel mill. I've already done it, and I'll be able to return your job to you soon!"

"Have you done it? Have you asked the factory manager for mercy? Will the factory manager pay attention to you?"

Qin Huairu asked three fatal questions in a row, which confused Jia Zhangshi.

"No, I can't see the factory director. It's Shazhu. Isn't he the factory chef? He often cooks for the factory director and has a good relationship with him. Can't we just ask him to mention it to the factory director?"

After realizing what was happening, Jia Zhang casually replied that she felt that as long as Director Yang mentioned it, it would be fine and it was not a difficult matter at all.

"You forgot about your uncle. Even the face of an eighth-level fitter is useless. Do you think the face of a cook like Shazhu is greater than that of an eighth-level fitter?"

Qin Huairu was not optimistic about this matter. She felt that it was too early for Jia Zhang to be happy.

"Yi Zhonghai is nothing. I think except for the personnel department, the people in the workshop don't give him face. This shows that he, an eighth-level fitter, has no status at all. But Sha Zhu can talk to Director Yang, so he will definitely be able to do it!"

Jia Zhang is a typical ungrateful person. She doesn't remember that Yi Zhonghai not only helped her but also taught her how to do benchwork. She only remembers that Yi Zhonghai not only failed to get the job done but also failed to help her master benchwork skills.

"Grandma, I want to eat White Rabbit milk candy!" Banggeng suddenly came over and said coquettishly.

"How can grandma have money? Ask your mom for it. Doesn't your mom go to the streets to do odd jobs? She must have money!"

Jia Zhang had a gentle smile on her face, but she spoke cold words.

"You are really a good grandmother to him!" Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Jia Zhang.

"Mom, I want to eat White Rabbit candy, can you buy it for me?"

Banggeng doesn't care who pays, as long as he can eat White Rabbit products.

"Okay, but will you listen?"

"obedient."

"Be obedient and don't buy it!"

???

Bang Geng was so confused that Qin Huairu went around in circles and finally led him in.

"No, no, I want to buy it!"

Banggeng then realized that Qin Huairu had no intention of buying it for him. He instantly became unhappy and started to pester Qin Huairu and act like a spoiled child.

"Your grandma will get her salary tomorrow, ask her to buy it for you!"

Qin Huairu was not only unmoved, but also shifted the blame to someone else.

"My salary is fixed and cannot be spent indiscriminately!" Jia Zhang immediately retorted.

"Tell me what you're going to do with it? Aren't you going to give me living expenses? Are you not going to take care of the household expenses?"

Qin Huairu asked another three fatal questions.

"Don't worry, I'll give it to you. The total salary is 27 yuan, I'll give you 15 yuan, and the rest is mine. I still need to buy painkillers and save money for my retirement!"

Jia Zhang thought about it and decided to give Qin Huairu fifteen yuan with great reluctance.

"You want to keep twelve dollars for yourself? You only paid six dollars a month before!"

"Before that, I didn't have to do anything! But now I have to go to work. I'm exhausted from moving steel every day. What's wrong with getting a little more money? This is all my hard-earned money!"

Jia Zhang said confidently.

If Qin Huairu hadn't wanted her to contribute to the household expenses, she wouldn't have been willing to pay even fifteen dollars!

"Just go ahead and give me fifteen dollars, and we can eat cornmeal or two-in-one noodles every day!"

Qin Huairu was also convinced. This big family needs a lot of money on food every month. Twenty yuan a month was not enough before, and now it has been reduced to fifteen yuan, so life will become even more difficult.

"Anyway, I can only give you fifteen dollars, and I can keep the rest for myself!"

The corners of Jia Zhang's mouth twitched, but she still didn't give in. She valued money more than her life!

"It's up to you. We'll all suffer together then!"

Qin Huairu said indifferently upon seeing this.

"Grandma, you have twelve dollars, can you give me one dollar to buy some candy?"

Banggeng knew that fifteen yuan was not enough to cover the family expenses, so he stopped targeting Qin Huairu and instead set his sights on Jia Zhang.

"Grandma's money should be kept for medicine and retirement, so it can't be wasted. So, if grandma gives you ten cents, you can buy some hard candy. They're all candy, there's no difference!"

Although Jia Zhang felt a pain in her heart, she still took out ten cents and gave it to Banggeng, thinking that he was her good grandson.

"Grandma, I want candy too!"

Xiaodang looked at Jia Zhang eagerly, hoping that her grandmother would give her money as well.

"Why would you want money for a loss-making item? Just find a stick and bite it in your mouth, and treat it as candy!"

Jia Zhang looked at Xiaodang coldly and would not give her money to Xiaodang.

Banggeng was a little dissatisfied with the ten cents, but he knew that his grandmother was a miser and that giving her a cent was already her limit, so he stopped pestering her.

At least one cent could buy five fruit candies, so he was barely satisfied.

Xiaodang felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't say much. She knew that if her grandma said she wouldn't give it to her, she wouldn't give it to her. Her brother could get it by pestering her, but if she pestered her, she would definitely be scolded.

As it was getting dark, the decorators hired by Sha Zhu's family stopped working and said goodbye and left. They would come back to finish it tomorrow.

The courtyard gradually fell into silence, and people fell asleep one after another.
