"Don't use the stick as a shield.”
Qin Huairu glared at Jia Zhangshi. This old woman was gluttonous and lazy. She was already so fat, yet she only knew how to eat all day.
Silly Zhu was not going to help her family for the time being. She had already lost her long-term meal ticket.
Therefore, she wanted to win He Yushui over. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on.
But look at this insatiable granny. For the sake of meat, she almost caused Rainwater to turn hostile.
Fortunately, Rainwater wasn't that smart, and didn't react in time.
What sin had she committed in her previous life to have such a mother-in-law that she couldn't take care of? It was fine if she couldn't help, but she was even more of a hindrance.
For the next few days, Qin Huiru went to the Rainwater House to help tidy up the house. Her dirty clothes were also washed clean and smelled nice.
He Yushui felt warm in her heart when she saw this.
Previously, because of the purchase of rice and noodles, he had misunderstood that Sister Qin was a vampire. He did not expect her to care about him from the bottom of her heart. He had worried too much.
He Yushui continued to eat at the Jia family's house.
She would become a full-time employee after the New Year this year, and she would often return to the courtyard to stay.
She still yearned for Qin Huairu's meticulous care.
The first ray of sunlight after spring shone into He Yuzhu's house. He stretched lazily, sat up from the bed, and punched in as usual.
"Ding! You have successfully punched in. Malt Milk Essence 2, cash 1.”
The system's cold and clear voice sounded.
He Yuzhu stroked the stubble on his chin and counted the items in the space.
There were already a lot of items piled up in the system space, and there were nearly a hundred yuan in cash.
He was excited. It was time to go to Pigeon City and exchange these useless items.
He Yuzhu quickly put on his clothes and planned to take a stroll in Pigeon City.
Pigeon City was a black market in the future, and many shady transactions were carried out here.
Because at present, basically all shops or trading venues were state-owned. If they traded privately, it would be considered speculation.
This was a serious crime that no one dared to commit.
However, Pigeon Market only traded small items. Most of them needed to be purchased at a higher price than usual, making it convenient for people who did not have a receipt to trade.
There were no grudges between them, and no one would report it on a normal day. Therefore, this place became a black market that everyone knew about.
There were many pigeon markets like this in the entire Yanjing City.
After He Yuzhu came to Pigeon City, he disguised himself a little and wrapped his head tightly with a scarf.
He had a hunched back and looked like an elderly man.
Although Pigeon City was a black market, it wasn't too big. Most people would leave after the transaction and wouldn't stay in one place forever.
However, there were still quite a number of people setting up stalls to sell some items.
There were rows of stalls with all kinds of things. There were baskets made by the old man, brooms, some eggs, duck eggs, and some 80 - 90% new teapots.
Of course, there were also people with tight pockets who were selling national food stamps.
From time to time, they winked at the passers-by, revealing a corner of the grain ticket paper in their pockets. Those who needed it would understand.
These people also collected food stamps. He Yuzhu took some of the food stamps given by the system and exchanged them for more than 100 yuan.
He carefully found three or four dealers to exchange for it.
With such a large number of national food stamps in his hands, it was better to be careful.
After exchanging for the food tickets, He Yuzhu began to stroll around in peace.
Then, He Yuzhu spent 1.5 yuan and a meat ticket to exchange for a chicken from an old lady. She grabbed the chicken and returned to the courtyard.
Today, he had to reward his five internal organs. He decided to make braised chicken and rice.
After spring, He Yushui had already started working and had become an official position. She had more time to go back to the courtyard.
The moment she got off work, Qin Huairu stopped her at the entrance of her house.
Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at He Yushui. She took a deep breath and stated her intentions,""Yu Shui, my family is in trouble. Can you lend me ten yuan to help me?”
When He Yushui heard this, her mind went blank. She was in a difficult position.
Her savings had basically been transferred to the Jia family during this period of time.
From time to time, she would buy rice, oil, vegetables, snacks, and even painkillers when Jia Zhangshi was feeling unwell.
She felt like her wallet was emptied.
He Yushui hesitated for a moment, then mustered up her courage and said,""Sister Qin, didn't I just buy dozens of catties of noodles for our family?”
"Yushui, you don't know how expensive the daily necessities are. There are five mouths in this family, and you're eating at home too.”
"Last month, I asked the factory's accountant to pay me a month's salary in advance. I've been pushing it back for a month. When will it end?”
Qin Huairu frowned and said aggrievedly.
He Yushui choked. Indeed, she was eating at Qin Huairu's house, so she could not say anything. She could only grit her teeth and nod."Alright, I'll give you the money later.”
"You're really my good sister. I can only rely on you.”
Delighted, Qin Huiru held He Yushui's hand and walked home.
When He Yuzhu saw this scene, he sneered,""Prodigal sister, let's see how long you can last.”
He wasn't angry. He hummed a tune, grabbed the fat chicken, and went back to the courtyard to slaughter it happily.
While they were killing the chickens, Yi Zhonghai and two strong men next door pushed Aunt Yi Ding Lanhua in with a cart.
He Yuzhu was shocked. Aunt Yi had completely changed into a different person. Her entire face was yellow and thin, leaving only a skeleton. Her hair was basically white.
The neighbors quickly came over to help and helped Aunt Yi settle down.
Qin Huairu hid far away, not daring to step forward. After all, Aunt Yi was hospitalized because of her. If she were to anger her to death now, she would definitely be despised by everyone in the hospital.
If he was chased out of the courtyard, he would have to go back to the countryside to farm.
"Grandpa Yi, how is Auntie? Why is she so haggard this time?”
After Third Aunt was done with her work, she pulled Grandpa Yi and asked.
"Sigh, the doctor said that there's cancer in my stomach. I don't have much time left.”
Grandpa Yi's eyes were filled with tears. He had no time to care about anything else as he said sadly.
"Aunt Yi is such a good person. Good people don't live long.”
Third Aunt wiped her tears. She was obviously shocked by this news. She looked sympathetically at Aunt Yi, who was on the verge of death.
The entire courtyard was filled with rumors that Qin Huairu had angered Aunt Yi and made her sick. Aunt Yi did not have much time left to live.
Everyone was avoiding Qin Huiru, almost treating her like a plague.
