Silly Zhu was carrying a net bag with two aluminum alloy lunch boxes inside. When he saw Qin Huiru waiting outside the courtyard house from afar, he felt a little conflicted.
Silly Zhu did not only sympathize with Qin Huiru for bringing leftovers to her every day. It was impossible to say that he did not have any feelings for Qin Huiru.
Occasionally, Silly Zhu would touch Qin Huiru's face or hold her hand.
Now that there were people in the quad saying that Silly Zhu was sleeping with a widow behind her back, Silly Zhu was thinking about whether he should keep a distance from Qin Huairu. However, he still brought a lunchbox back out of habit.
When Silly Zhu braced himself and walked out of the courtyard, Qin Huiru smiled and took the lunchbox.
"Sister Qin, others have already misunderstood our relationship. Why don't we keep a distance?”Silly Zhu said.
Silly Zhu was 31 years old and still single, he was also anxious.
With Silly Zhu's conditions, it was not difficult to find one in the city, but his reputation was not good.
In the past, when she introduced him to Shazhu, the girl asked around and knew that Shazhu and Widow Qin were close. Widow Qin washed Shazhu's underpants every day. If she said that it was okay, would others believe her?
Xu Damao was spreading rumors behind his back that Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu had slept together, but Qin Huairu did not step out to clarify it. On the surface, she was scolding Xu Damao, but in her heart, she was probably thanking Xu Damao!
As long as Silly Zhu did not get married, she would be Qin Huiru's meal ticket.
If Silly Zhu were to get married, even if Silly Zhu was willing to continue to provide financial aid to the Jia family, Silly Zhu's wife would not agree. In order to protect this long-term meal ticket, Qin Huiru was secretly playing tricks.
In Qin Huairu's heart, her three children were the most important.
As for Silly Pillar's position in Qin Huiru's heart, it might be second only to her three children and higher than her own. However, for the sake of her three children, she could sacrifice Silly Pillar.
As for Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu definitely hated her.
Even before Jia Dongxu died, Jia Zhangshi did not like Qin Huairu much. After her son died, Jia Zhangshi treated Qin Huairu even more harshly.
When Qin Huiru painstakingly brought some food home, Jia Zhangshi ate it while saying that it was not clean. It was strange that Qin Huiru did not feel any hatred. After all, she was only her mother-in-law, not her biological mother.
If it wasn't for the fact that he needed Jia Zhangshi to take care of the child, Qin Huiru would have even sent Jia Zhangshi to the countryside.
"Silly Zhu, I've let you down. It was all to help me.”When Qin Huairu heard that Silly Zhu wanted to keep a distance from her, how could she do that? She immediately acted pitiful.
Qin Huiru wasn't the only widow who had to raise a few children and a mother-in-law. Some worked hard and raised their salaries, while others pretended to be pitiful. Qin Huiru was the latter.
Qin Huairu had been in the rolling mill for several years, but she was still a Grade 1 worker.
Liang Ladi, who lived next door, was also a widow. She had no mother-in-law and was taking care of four children alone. She was also a level-five welder and had a bottom line. She could even be used to welding nails on the soles of shoes.
Silly Zhu had no choice when Qin Huairu cried.
Perhaps Silly Zhu also understood Qin Huairu's ploy, but he enjoyed it.
There were more than a dozen families in this courtyard. Jia Zhangshi was fair and fat, and there was meat on her face. Only a fool would believe that she often did not have enough to eat.
Because of Silly Zhu's help, the Jia family had fine grain and meat every few days, and their food was one of the best in the courtyard.
Silly Zhu and his sister, He Yushui, often ate cornbread and thought that Qin Huiru was a weirdo.
Qin Huairu knew that she had let down Silly Zhu, but for the sake of the three children, she could only let Silly Zhu down. As for Jia Zhangshi, she had no choice. She couldn't just give all the meat and vegetables Qin Huairu got to the three children. Jia Zhangshi was shameless. If there was meat and vegetables, she would eat at least half of it, and the rest would be given to the stem. As for Xiao Dang and Huai Hua, she would only eat a little. Qin Huairu had nothing to eat.
Qin Huairu had no other choice. Other than having Jia Zhangshi take care of the child, she was also replacing her husband because of her job. The house also belonged to the Jia family.
Seeing that Silly Zhu no longer wanted to keep his distance, Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with a hint of pride.
……
Yan Jiekuang went fishing with the fishing rod and the wooden bucket.
The sky was not dark yet, so Yan Jiekuang planned to fish for an hour.
He took out an earthworm from the Green Lotus Space and tore it apart.
The earthworm had absorbed some of the Qi of Creation, so Yan Jiekuang wanted to see if it would help him with fishing.
Using the earthworms that absorbed the Qi of Creation as bait, Yan Jiekuang sat by the river and started fishing.
The Qi of Creation could allow the old hen to lay more eggs every day. Perhaps it had other functions.
For example, would the grass nourished by the Qi of Creation be more attractive to rabbits?
Fishing and catching rabbits were fine, but some things were not allowed.
Before Yan Jiekuang transmigrated, he had heard from his great-grandfather that someone had caught a cauliflower snake and eaten it. After being discovered, he was beaten up and had to stay in the cowshed for a few days.
Even fishing and catching rabbits would be troublesome if they gained too much.
Therefore, stability was the way to go.
A fish took the bait less than a minute after entering the water.
He picked up the fishing rod and caught a fish. It wasn't too big, but it was about half a catty.
"Is this a coincidence?" Yan Jiekuang muttered to himself.
He put the fish he caught into the wooden bucket, which was half filled with water.
He set the bait and continued fishing.
In less than a minute, the fish that took the bait this time was even bigger, more than half a catty.
Once might be luck, but twice was not just luck.
It seemed like Yan Jiekuang's guess was right. Earthworms that had absorbed the Qi of Creation were more attractive to fish.
In this way, it was not worth it to use all the Qi of Creation to increase the number of eggs.
There was too little Creation Qi produced every day, so he had to make good use of it.
After using a few earthworms, Yan Jiekuang had caught about ten catties of fish.
In less than ten minutes, he had caught ten catties of fish. This was really shocking.
He dug out an earthworm and continued fishing. This time, because he did not absorb the Qi of Creation, no fish took the bait for half an hour.
……
It was getting dark. Yan Jiekuang carried the wooden bucket home.
When they returned home, Yan Bugui, Yan Jiecheng, Yu Li, Yan Jiefang, and Yan Jiedi could not believe it.
"Third brother, did you catch this?"
"This is too much!"
"It's only been an hour, but I actually caught so many fish. My luck is too good.”
After the surprise, the whole family was happy.
With so many fish, he could improve his diet.
Yan Bugui weighed it, weighing ten catties per tael.
"The market price of a catty of fish is 30 cents. There are 10 catties here, which is 3 yuan.”Yan Jiekuang said to Yan Bugui.
"No problem." Yan Bugui agreed.
Yan Jiekuang was the one who caught all these fish. Now that Yan Jiekuang was only asking for 1.5 yuan, Yan Bugui was naturally happy.
If it were Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang, they would not give Yan Bugui a single cent.
"I'll sell it to Silly Zhu tomorrow morning. He's the chef of the rolling mill, he definitely wants it.”Yan Bugui said with a smile. He calculated that these fish could be sold for 3.5 yuan, but Yan Jiekuang only needed 1.5 yuan, so he got two yuan.
"Compared to Eldest and Second, Third is more filial.”Yan Bugui thought.
