"What are you standing there for?"
Qin Huairu was pushed hard. She snapped back to her senses and turned around to see that it was her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Qin Huiru frowned, blaming Jia Zhangshi for interrupting her train of thought.
Jia Zhangshi fiercely dug her eyes out.
"What are you doing? What are you standing there for? Didn't you see that Silly Zhu was carrying the lunchbox?”
"Our family has been eating rice bran and vegetables for several days. I can stand it, but the children can't.”
Jia Zhangshi's eyes were filled with greed.
Qin Huairu was a little troubled. After all, today was not the same as before.
" Silly Zhu has guests today…"
"What guest? Even if he has guests, he can't use our family's things to entertain them.”
Jia Zhangshi was being unreasonable and claimed that the lunchbox brought back by He Yuzhu belonged to her family.
What was even more tragic was that Qin Huairu actually did not retort and remained silent.
"Mom, I want to eat meat!"
A little boy rushed over and spoke to Qin Huiru in an unquestionable tone.
"Mom, my sister and I want to eat meat too.”
Little Dang and Huai Hua looked at Qin Huiru with teary eyes.
" Look, my precious grandson has lost weight from hunger. Good boy, Grandma will definitely let you eat meat this year. Qin Huairu, you…"
Before Jia Zhangshi could finish speaking, Qin Huairu had already left.
She immediately raised her voice and shouted.
"Where are you going? Don't you care about these children?”
"I'll go prepare something. Mom, you want to bring them back.”
Jia Zhangshi snorted coldly upon hearing this. However, she knew very well that Qin Huairu would definitely be able to capture her easily.
Qin Huairu said that she was going to prepare something. How could she have anything good?
A bottle of the cheapest wine and a plate of fried peanuts.
········
He Yuzhu said that he would personally cook for Yu Cheng to welcome him.
In order to express his gratitude, Yu Cheng said that he had ready-made vegetables at home. In fact, they were in the system warehouse.
He was just putting on a show and going home to take it out.
When he got home, Yu Cheng took out a catty of braised beef, half a catty of pig's head meat, a roast chicken, and a bottle of Moutai wine with the label torn off. After wrapping it up with oil paper, he took it to He Yuzhu's house.
In the system's infinite storage space, other than the storage function, the time inside was also prohibited.
No matter what you put in, it would still look the same when you take it out. There would not be any changes.
Yu Cheng was walking to He Yuzhu's door with his things.
He suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Qin Huairu's voice rang out from inside the house.
"Silly Zhu, seeing that you're entertaining the new neighbors, I specially brought you a bottle of wine and a plate of fried peanuts.”
"Hehe, Sister Qin, I'm so sorry. I have all these things. Why don't you take them back?”
Was He Yuzhu stupid?
No, he was not stupid at all.
Everyone said that he was lacking in brains, but in fact, he was just kind-hearted.
The moment Qin Huairu entered the room, her eyes were fixed on the lunch box on the table. He Yuzhu was just unwilling to expose her.
If it was in the past, he would have given it to her, but today, he had to entertain guests.
Qin Huairu should have understood this, yet she was so unconcerned today.
" Silly Zhu, these past two days, Bang Tiao, Xiao Dang, and Huai Hua have been saying that they want to eat meat. I wanted to ask, you…"
She was just short of saying,'Give me that lunchbox.'
How could He Yuzhu not understand?
If it was in the past, Qin Huairu wouldn't even need to finish her sentence before he passed her the lunch box.
But today…
"Sister Qin, I only brought this meat dish today. There's not even three taels of meat in it. You can't possibly make me lose face in front of Little Cheng, right?”
"No, no, no. I don't want all of it. I know you care about your reputation. I just want some to satisfy the children's cravings.”
Even though she said that, she did not wait for He Yuzhu to express her stance and had already made her move.
She had only picked up meat with her chopsticks, leaving only vegetables.
He Yuzhu wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he sighed in his heart and felt an unknown anger.
This was his thing, so Qin Huairu's actions were a little too accustomed to it.
" Silly Zhu, I want to go back. Drink less..."
As she spoke, Qin Huairu lifted the curtain and walked out.
He Yuzhu did not reply to her. After she left, he sighed.
He looked at the deformed peanuts on the table and frowned.
He had cooked this plate of peanuts last night, but it had been stolen by a stick.
Qin Huairu was using this thing to brush him off!
A seed of disgust was planted in his heart.
·······
Qin Huairu had just walked out of He Yuzhu's door with the meat when she bumped into Yu Cheng.
When she saw Yu Cheng, she laughed dryly at him.
Then, she froze for a moment. There was an obvious smell of meat in the air.
Her gaze involuntarily shifted to the oilpaper bag in Yu Cheng's hand.
"Little Cheng, haha, you and Silly Zhu left in a hurry just now, so I didn't have the chance to introduce myself. My name is Qin Huairu.”
"Yes, Sister Qin."
Yu Cheng did not have a good impression of this family of ingrates and responded coldly.
Qin Huairu did not feel anything towards Yu Cheng's attitude. She just kept staring at Yu Cheng's hand.
"Is there anything else?"
Yu Cheng asked.
Qin Huairu snapped back to her senses and hurriedly shook her head before letting out a few dry laughs.
"It's fine, it's fine."
As she spoke, she carried the bowl of stolen meat and rushed home.
Looking at her back, Yu Cheng sneered in his heart.
He had done it on purpose. He knew that Qin Huairu would definitely come to He Yuzhu's house to get her lunch box, so he had prepared all these good things.
From Qin Huairu's expression earlier, it was obvious that she had been seduced. She would definitely find an excuse to come later.
She had already done it once. If there was a next time, He Yuzhu would definitely be disgusted by her. At the very least, she would be angry because of it.
That was enough.
After entering the house, He Yuzhu saw Yu Cheng. The depression on his face disappeared temporarily and turned into a smile to welcome him.
"I said I'll treat you to a meal. Look at you. What are you going home to get?”
"Hehe, Brother Yuzhu, it's not anything good. My uncle left it behind before he left.”
When Yu Cheng opened the oilpaper bag, He Yuzhu gasped.
"Isn't this good stuff? Why did you take so much? We can finish it, right?”
"Brother Yuzhu, these things won't last long. We should settle them all.”
This was true. There were no fridges in this era, so these things could only be stored for a day or two at most.
Although He Yuzhu was a chef, he was also tempted when he saw the braised food.
