It was already late. Looking out the window, the courtyard was covered in snow.
At this moment, He Yuzhu's younger sister, He Yushui, was wearing a blue shirt and a red woolen scarf. She was pushing a Phoenix bicycle into the courtyard.
"Brother! Brother!"
He Yuzhu's crisp voice called him out of the house. He Yuzhu lifted the curtain and looked at He Yushui, who was parking his bicycle, and said,"What's wrong?"
She parked the car and walked in front of He Yuzhu. She widened her eyes and said with a smile,"I just entered the courtyard and heard that Xu Damao's family lost a chicken. Why did he give you 20 yuan? What's going on?”
" Qin Huairu's son stole Xu Damao's chicken and even cooked it into beggar's chicken. I went to the market tonight to buy a chicken for you to stew. In the end, Xu Damao accused me of stealing their chicken. In the end, the entire academy held a meeting and I made a bet with him. In the end, Xu Damao failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing 20 yuan instead. That's all.”
He Yuzhu briefly explained the situation to He Yushui. He Yushui widened her eyes in surprise and said,""Stealing chicken? No way. Xu Damao is such a selfish and stingy person. He would compensate you with 20 yuan. Brother, this is 20 yuan.”
"That's right. You can't judge a book by its cover.”He Yuzhu shook his head and said,""This 20 yuan is already considered cheap for him. If it weren't for the three old men in the courtyard and the fact that we've lived together for so many years, I would have called the police to arrest him.”
He Yuzhu put her hands in her pockets and said,"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore!"”
"What happened to you?"
"Yes, we'll get married during the Spring Festival."
"Good, good!" He Yuzhu clapped her hands and said," Alright, that's good. What should we do? It's the Spring Festival. Hurry up and marry yourself off to this police officer. It'll be worthy of our mother's spirit in heaven."”
"Brother!" He Yushui lowered her head and shyly played with He Yuzhu.
"Let's go! Let's go! Go back to your room. I've made you something delicious.”
He Yuzhu pushed He Yushui's shoulder and walked into the house. As they walked, he smiled and said,""I'll try my brother's cooking later.”
"Okay, brother!"
Hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Yushui became even more excited.
That's great. I can eat chicken and drink chicken soup.
He Yuzhu asked He Yushui to sit down and wait for him. He was going to make a braised chicken for him.
When he came back from work to make the soup, the ingredients had already been prepared. He could just start cooking. In less than ten minutes, He Yuzhu came over with a plate of braised chicken that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious.
At this moment, He Yushui was sitting at the dining table and drinking chicken soup. As she drank, she said,""Brother, your chicken soup is so delicious. Your cooking is getting better and better. How did you do it? This is probably the best soup I've ever had in my life. It's simply too delicious!”
"Don't just drink the chicken soup. Try the braised chicken that I made for you. It's delicious too.”
As He Yuzhu spoke, he served the warm cornbread in the pot.
"Delicious, delicious. After tasting the chicken, He Yushui was so excited that he couldn't speak. His face was full of smiles as he ate in big mouthfuls.”
Seeing his sister, He Yushui, wolfing down the food, He Yuzhu smiled and said,""Eat slowly, eat slowly. Don't choke.”
After saying that, He Yuzhu felt a little upset. He touched He Yuyu's head and said,"In the future, when you come back from work at night, I'll make you delicious food every day.”
"Yes, yes…" He Yushui, whose mouth was full of oil, chewed on the meat and muttered,"By the way, Brother, you've always helped Qin Huairu's family in the past. What's wrong with you today?”
He Yuzhu recounted the conversation he had with his two sisters when they ate beggar's chicken and asked,""Sister, do you think they are ungrateful?”
"Brother, you're too petty!" He Yushui said disapprovingly. You didn't think much of them in the past? Don't take a child's words too seriously. Even if he said it, it's just because the child is young and insensible.”
As the saying goes,"A three-year-old looks young, and a seven-year-old looks old."”Moreover, his two younger sisters were still young and insensible. Could it be that he was insensible as well?
Seeing that his sister was listening attentively, He Yuzhu continued,""Sister, I used to think that I was really stupid. It wasn't easy for me to earn my salary and food stamps, and I even gave them to the Qin family.”
"I didn't give you anything nutritious. This is all my fault!”
Hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Yushui put down the chopsticks in his hand and said,""Brother, I don't blame you, really.”
Didn't you think that it wasn't easy for Sister Qin in the past? She raised three children alone and had a mean mother-in-law. I won't blame you!
"Actually, we've all been deceived by Qin Huairu. Yu Shui, think about it. I'm just a chef in a steel factory's canteen. I can earn 37.50 yuan a month. I don't have to worry about food and drink. Why is it so difficult to just find a wife?”
He Yuzhu laughed at herself and said," I've finally thought it through. Your brother is already in his thirties, but he's still single. He deals with a widow every day. Which girl would like me?”
"More importantly, during the chicken stealing incident today, when I was holding a meeting in the entire courtyard and Xu Damao accused me of stealing chickens, Qin Huairu and her family didn't even move. They were waiting for me to take the blame.”
He Yuzhu looked at the dumbfounded He Yushui and thought that his sister was still too naive and innocent.
Now, he could only think about how he should interact with Qin Huiru in the future and advise his younger sister, He Yushui, to be more careful.
But speaking of which, this idiot was stupid, how smart could his sister be?
On the other side, Qin Huairu's mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, had been muttering non-stop ever since she returned to her room after the meeting in the courtyard. She kept scolding He Yuzhu.
The Qin family only had one precious grandson. If this was destroyed, would she be unable to face the ancestors of the Jia family when she went underground a hundred years later?
"This damn idiot, he's so useless. He's fine and he even lost money, so what if he's the scapegoat?”
"It's fine if you want the money. You should apologize. Isn't it just a matter of a few yuan? And it's earth-shattering!"
"This He Yuzhu is really something. He's forcing our family to death!”
In Qin Huairu's mother-in-law's opinion, everything that happened today was all because of He Yuzhu. If it weren't for He Yuzhu, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.
However, she did not think about it. If her precious grandson did not steal the chicken, this would not have happened.
"Go to the market tomorrow and buy a chicken for Xu Damao to return." Jia Zhangshi shouted at Qin Huiru.”
"I don't have any money," Qin Huairu cried pitifully.”Besides, I've already spent all my money this month to buy some clothes for the three children.
"Of course, we have to look for He Yuzhu for this kind of thing.”
Seeing Qin Huairu bawling her eyes out, Jia Zhangshi glared at her and gritted her teeth.""Everything was caused by He Yuzhu.”
"If it weren't for him, my eldest grandson wouldn't have been labeled as a thief. Didn't he take 20 yuan from Xu Damao? Why don't you go to He Yuzhu and ask him to give you the money?”
He Yuzhu's monthly salary was only 37.5 yuan, and he didn't need much money to live alone. Moreover, Xu Damao had even compensated him with 20 yuan.
"Yes, yes! Qin Huairu knew that she had no choice after hearing what her mother-in-law said.”
