Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Qin Huairu's expression froze.
Although her monthly salary was 27.5 yuan, which was barely enough for her family's expenses, it was still difficult for her to eat and wear well.
Therefore, he could only get two steamed buns here and there to improve his life.
If he lost money, how would he survive the next half of the month?
"He Yuzhu, you're also responsible for the meat falling to the ground! Why do you want my family to pay for it?!"
Qin Huairu could only stubbornly quibble.
"Third Uncle, look, I can't reason with Sister Qin. I can only go to the police station to reason.”
He Yuzhu sighed and pretended to call the police.
Vampire Qin's family had taken a lot of things from him. If he didn't get back some of his money, he would be letting himself down.
"Zhu Zi, listen to Third Master. Qin Huairu and her family have indeed done something wrong.”
"However, the matters in our courtyard should be resolved behind closed doors. It's not good for our courtyard's reputation if it gets blown up.”
Third Uncle did not want to make a big deal out of it. After all, it was not good to be in the same courtyard. He reached out and stopped He Yuzhu.
"Qin Huairu, quickly make a statement!”
Third Master looked up at Qin Huairu.
She was trying to persuade her to pay up and let it go. Anyway, she had always benefited from He Yuzhu, so it was not a loss for her to pay up.
"Take it. I only have one yuan. Take it or leave it!”
"He Yuzhu was also at fault in this matter. I haven't asked him for medical fees yet.”
Qin Huairu unwillingly fished out a dollar from her pocket and threw it on the ground as she mumbled.
Hmph, Widow Qin was thinking of nothing if she wanted to get rid of He Yuzhu with just one yuan.
There were at least two catties of meat, and a catty of meat and meat tickets cost 85 cents.
It was the era of a planned economy, and everything needed a ticket. This meat ticket was very valuable. Without meat tickets, it was difficult to buy things with money alone.
If they didn't have a meat ticket, buying meat in Pigeon City would cost at least 1.5 yuan.
Moreover, his meat was the best black pork given by the system. Its value was difficult to estimate.
"Qin Huairu, you're just giving a beggar a dollar!”
He Yuzhu did not even glance at the dollar on the ground.
He wasn't angry and said to Third Uncle indifferently,""Third Master, I told you that there's no way to reason with her.”
"I'll go to the police station and have a cup of tea with them.”
Qin Huairu was so angry that her face turned ashen.
One yuan was not enough. How much did he want?
She pointed at He Yuzhu and gritted her teeth."He Yuzhu, how much money do you want? Be quick and tell me a number!”
He Yuzhu wasn't angry. He smiled and waved his fingers."Not much. It's five yuan. If you can't buy it, you won't suffer a loss.”
"Five yuan!"
"He Yuzhu, you must be dreaming!”
Qin Huairu was furious. Five yuan was not a small sum. One catty of noodles was only 0.11 yuan per catty. How much noodles could he buy with that?
How could he give it to her just like that?
"It's fine. It's fine if you don't want to pay.”
"This police station doesn't seem to be far from here. I'll be there in a few steps.”
He Yuzhu avoided Third Uncle's obstruction and walked towards the courtyard entrance.
The deterrence of the police was still very strong in everyone's eyes. Once the police were called, the stick would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Zhu Zi, good child, wait.”
"We're all from the same courtyard. It's already so late, so we don't have to trouble the police, right?”
"We'll pay you back."
Seeing that He Yuzhu was really determined to report the case, Jia Zhangshi's face instantly turned pale.
Her expression changed as if the sky had changed. Her originally fierce face immediately changed into a smile that was uglier than crying, trying to smooth things over.
Stealing was a serious crime in this era. Anyone over ten years old could be sent to juvenile detention.
The boy was just ten years old this year. If he was sent to juvenile detention center, it would be a stain for his life.
After all, in this era, one carrot was a pit.
In the future, he would need a recommendation letter for any job. If there was a stain, his life would be ruined.
Jia Zhang-shi especially loved this sole descendant of hers. How could she let him go to the juvenile detention center? So she hurriedly gave him a way out.
"Just now, I was kind and suffered a loss. I asked you to compensate me with five yuan, but you weren't willing.”
"This is great. I don't want to suffer a loss now. This pork costs ten yuan.”
He Yuzhu stopped and said seriously.
Ten yuan!
Everyone was shocked. For people with low salaries, their monthly salary was only about 20 yuan. This was almost half a month's salary.
"He Yuzhu, don't go too far! Is this pork inlaid with gold or silver? It costs ten yuan!”
Jia Zhang-shi stomped her feet in anger. She didn't expect He Yuzhu to ask for such an exorbitant price.
Ten yuan for a serving of pork? Why didn't Silly Zhu go rob them? With so much money, it was enough to buy a few catties.
"You don't have to say that this meat is really not ordinary meat. Look at this black pig skin. It's usually rare, right?”
"This is the wild black pork I bought in Pigeon City for 20 yuan.”
"The meat of this black pig is delicious. It's not ordinary meat. Asking you to pay ten yuan is also a leniency.”
He Yuzhu said seriously.
Everyone looked at the whole piece of pork carefully. It was indeed different from what they usually saw.
The meat was even more compact, fat and lean, and very even. The skin was also black.
Hearing this, everyone began to believe him.
After all, Quanjude's roast duck cost eight or nine yuan each, and many people were willing to pay a high price to eat it.
Silly Zhu was a bachelor with such a high salary. It was not unreasonable to spend a lot of money to buy some good meat.
Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, and they remained silent.
He Yuzhu poured oil on the fire.”
"Anyway, he's a juvenile delinquent. He'll be released after ten or twenty days.”
Hearing this, Jia Zhangshi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
She glared at Qin Huiru, hinting for her to pay up and settle the matter, lest Silly Zhu raise the price again.
"Alright, I'll give it to you!"
Qin Huairu's gloomy face was filled with unwillingness as she spat out a few words through gritted teeth.
She carefully took out nine yuan from her pocket and picked up the yuan on the ground. She reluctantly stuffed it into He Yuzhu's hand.
Then, she gritted her teeth and whispered into He Yuzhu's ear,"I was really blind. I didn't expect you to be such a person!”
Although Qin Huairu felt extremely aggrieved, there was nothing she could do.
If the meme really went to jail, it would affect his innocence for the rest of his life.
She might even lose her job as a replacement for her husband at the rolling mill. For the sake of the family's livelihood, she could only accept it.
Maybe Silly Zhu was just blinded by greed for a moment.
If she were to act coquettishly and suffer a little loss, she would let Silly Zhu touch her a few times and she would obediently spit out the money.
No, he had to make him spit it back out twice as much.
Qin Huairu thought resentfully. She was still confident that she could make Silly Zhu return double the money. Otherwise, she wouldn't have compensated him so straightforwardly.
Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, she walked over and picked up the two catties of flowers on the ground without hesitation, preparing to go back.
He had already lost the money. At least he still had two catties of meat. It was not too much of a loss.
"Slow down, stop!"
He Yuzhu would not let Qin Huairu leave so easily. How could he let them off so easily?
"What's wrong? He Yuzhu, are you done?”
Qin Huairu's delicate body trembled. She stopped in her tracks and spoke with an impatient expression.
