"Mrs. Jia, is Huai Ru at home?"
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai arrived.
In his right hand was a large bag of cornmeal, and in his left hand was a piece of pork.
Jia Zhangshi didn't say anything, but pouted towards the room.
"Huai Ru! Come out for a moment and discuss the compensation with you.”
Qin Huairu hurriedly wiped away her tears, lifted the curtain, and walked out.
Yi Zhonghai's heart ached when he saw Qin Huairu's haggard face.
But their family was indeed in the wrong.
If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame this punk for being disappointing.
He would eat it clean and let his mother suffer the consequences.
It was hard for a widow to raise such an ingrate.
"First Master, we'll do whatever you say about the compensation," said Qin Huairu.”
She was a widow without a man. She couldn't do such a thing.
He could only rely on others.
Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly and placed the cornmeal and a piece of pork on the table.
"Huairu, here are 20 catties of cornmeal and 5 catties of pork. You can deal with the new year first. As for the compensation, it's very difficult for me to help.”
Yi Zhonghai felt that he had done his best.
In this day and age, pork, oil, and so on were not things that could be bought with money. It was already very difficult for him to take out five catties of pork.
As for paying compensation for Qin Huairu, it wasn't realistic either, unless he didn't want to spend the New Year anymore.
Furthermore, the reason why he had helped Qin Huairu's family so much in the past was because he could tell that Qin Huairu could tie He Yuzhu down.
Therefore, he wanted to build a good relationship with the Jia family.
However, it seemed like Qin Huairu did not have the ability to do so.
Yi Zhonghai was not stupid. He did not have the moral integrity to 'keep' the Jia family.
Qin Huairu's vision turned dark and her heart turned cold when she heard the first uncle's words.
She was a widow. Where could she get so much money to buy five chickens to compensate Xu Damao?
"First Uncle, no matter what, thank you for helping our family all this time.”
Qin Huairu held back the tears that were about to gush out.
Yi Zhonghai realized that he could not help much here.
He sighed and said goodbye,"Huai Ru, be optimistic. I'll leave first."”
……
He Yushui had returned.
As soon as she came back, she went into He Yuzhu's room.
The reason was simple. She was hungry.
Patting the snow off her body, He Yushui said,"Brother, you are really extravagant. You even burned honeycomb briquettes.”
In this era, most families chose to burn briquettes for warmth.
A family that could use honeycomb briquettes was not ordinary.
He Yuzhu was lying on the bed reading a book. Without looking up, he said," I don't like trouble. I'll do it as simple as possible…"
"Then give me some of the honeycomb briquettes too!”
"I'm so cold at night that I'm shivering!"
He Yushui looked at He Yuzhu expectantly.
He Yuzhu was not someone who was easily moved.
This sister of his was also a drama queen.
"If you want to use it, you can earn money to buy it yourself, or quickly find a boyfriend to support you. I'm not your ATM.”
He Yushui was speechless.
"I've never seen a brother like you! Humph!"
As he was sulking, He Yushui suddenly noticed that his brother was reading a foreign book.
Even a university student like her couldn't understand foreign languages.
Her brother, who hadn't even graduated from primary school, was actually reading a foreign language book?
It was too comical!
"Puff!"
She laughed unkindly.
"Brother, do you understand? I was almost fooled by you when you looked at me so seriously.”
He Yuzhu ignored his sister's doubts.
In terms of culture, his current level was higher than He Yushui's.
Therefore, he was too lazy to argue. He didn't want to hurt his little sister's self-esteem.
Seeing that his brother was so bored, He Yushui could only find a chair to sit down. He propped his chin on his hand and puffed his cheeks. His eyes glanced at the pork on the beam.
Then, he glanced at the steamer at the bottom.
Smelling the fragrance, it was like a steamed bun with pork filling…
Thinking of this, He Yushui's stomach grumbled in protest.
His saliva was also constantly being secreted.
She swallowed silently.
He thought to himself, How strange! Usually, she wouldn't be this embarrassed even if she smelled the soup dumplings.
What good stuff is hidden in this steamer?
"Brother, did you steam buns today?" she asked tentatively. It smells so good!"
"Yes."
He Yuzhu replied indifferently.
This sentence made He Yushui so angry that her heart felt stifled.
Wasn't her hint obvious enough?
If it was in the past, she would not have asked for He Yuzhu's permission and would have gone straight to look for food.
However, He Yuzhu was no longer the 'good brother' that he used to be.
Touching his things without his consent would only result in violence.
He Yushui felt wronged.
After all, she lacked fatherly love and motherly love since she was young. She only had her brother's love. Now, even her brother was ignoring her.
He must think that she was a burden!
Since she couldn't hint, she could only make it clear.
"Brother, I'm hungry…"
"Hungry? There was food in the steamer, but he had hands and couldn't take it?”
He Yuzhu scolded, but she still did not turn her head. Her entire body was focused on her book.
He Yushui blinked her big, bright eyes.
Happiness came too suddenly!
Swallowing her saliva, He Yushui was already imagining the scene of a bun wrapped in meat filling and the fragrance of the meat after it was opened.
His days in school were tight, and he could not eat meat buns at all.
Her brother must have seen her coming back from afar and quickly bought pork buns.
The loneliness in his heart was swept away, and happiness filled his heart again.
"I won't stand on ceremony!"
He Yushui lifted the lid of the steamer with anticipation.
However, when she saw what was inside, she was instantly stunned on the spot.
"This…"
What entered his eyes was the yellow cornbread on the steamer.
The happiness that filled her heart was once again emptied.
She was stunned for five seconds.
Why was it that there were no meat buns, but she could faintly smell the smell of roasted meat?
"Brother, only cornbread? Our house isn't that shabby, right?" He Yushui looked disappointed.
He raised his head and looked at the pork on the beam. At this moment, it was so out of his reach.
"If you don't want to eat it, then forget it." He Yuzhu said coldly," Look at how spoiled you are. Can't you eat cornbread?”
