The morning in the courtyard house was busy.
The office workers had to go to work, and those who retired at home began to wash clothes and vegetables in the courtyard.
The old men had already gathered at the door early in the morning with teapots. They had started playing chess, taking walks, and strolling their birds for a day.
Qin Huairu was the only one left. She stood anxiously at the door, waiting for her mother-in-law to return home.
Actually, she had followed him to the police station last night. However, when she found out that Jia Zhangshi was detained, she came back. Moreover, she didn't sleep the whole night, so she stood at the door early in the morning and waited.
Not long after, the figure of a fat old lady appeared in the alley. She looked dispirited as she supported herself against the wall with one hand and walked shakily toward the street.
She was Jia Zhangshi.
"Mom, Mom, are you okay? Are you okay?"
Qin Huairu ran over quickly and supported the old lady.
Jia Zhang-shi waved her hands repeatedly and said weakly,""I'm fine. Let's go back to the house and talk.”
It was early in the morning, and everyone was familiar with each other. She still had to keep her face.
As soon as she entered the room and closed the door, Jia Zhang-shi immediately lay on the bed and weakly said,"Daughter-in-law, do you have anything to eat? I can't take it anymore…"
"Mom, there's, there's food. I'll bring it to you now!”
Qin Huairu quickly took out two cornbread from the kitchen.
Jia Zhangshi took the bread and stuffed it into her mouth without even looking at it.
Qin Huairu's heart ached terribly when she saw her like this.
"Mom, slow down. Don't choke. Have some of this millet porridge first!”
Jia Zhang-shi nodded, but her mouth never stopped.
As she ate, she suddenly seemed to be frozen and motionless. Then, tears began to fall.
She looked up at Qin Huiru and said," I spent the entire night in the police station's detention room. I didn't have anything to eat or drink. There were so many mosquitoes that I almost died!"”
"The detention room is like this. Tell me, how bad are the conditions in the labor camp?”
" Oh my god, our god is so pitiful…"
These words struck a chord in Qin Huairu's heart. She had also heard of the environment inside. Moreover, they did not have enough to eat or sleep well. They even had to work. It was simply not a place for humans to live.
Thinking of how her young son had suffered so much, as a mother, her heart ached as if it had been pricked by needles.
Qin Huairu hugged Jia Zhangshi." Don't cry, Mom. The three months are almost over. I'll be out soon!" She had to keep an eye on him in the future and never let him steal again!”
Jia Zhang-shi was angry when she heard this and pushed her away.
"Steal? What steal? What do you mean by stealing?"
"Qin Huairu, are you a mother?”
"If they say they're stealing, then they're stealing! We're all from the same courtyard. I casually took a piece of onion from you and took two eggs from you. Is this called stealing? How is this stealing?"
Qin Huairu was afraid that her mother-in-law would reprimand her, so she could only go along with her words.""Yes, yes, Mom, you're right."
Jia Zhang-shi wiped her tears, sat up and said angrily,""In my opinion, Zhang Hexuan is to blame for this!”
"If it weren't for him, Silly Zhu would have taken the blame for our stick meme. But it was that Zhang Hexuan who insisted on standing up and exposing our stick meme, making our Old Jia family lose all face!”
"If it weren't for him, our boy wouldn't have gone to the labor camp.”
"It's just an inspection team. Do you really think you're a big shot? What the hell!"
"Also, ever since that guy came, the number of times that Silly Zhu came into contact with our family has decreased. It has been a long time since he came to deliver food!”
……
When Jia Zhangshi was behind Zhang Hexuan and Silly Zhu, she scolded them with saliva flying everywhere. She was only missing their ancestors for eighteen generations. However, she definitely did not dare to scold him in front of her.
Zhang Hexuan was different from Silly Zhu. In comparison, Silly Zhu's ears were very soft, but Zhang Hexuan was different.
There was no such thing as respecting the old and loving the young here. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Jia Zhangshi to the police station last night.
Qin Huairu said helplessly and embarrassedly,"Mom, we don't have any rice or noodles at home. Can you lend me some money?"?”
Jia Zhang-shi got up and walked over. She glanced at the empty bowl of noodles in the kitchen and said coldly.
"I was just wondering why you were standing at the intersection to welcome me so early in the morning.”
"So you're not here for me, but for the money in my pocket!”
"Me! I'll give you two words! No money!"
Qin Huairu grew anxious." Mother, you can't say that. I welcomed you early in the morning because I was worried about you. How can you say that? Besides, you should know what's going on at home. Yesterday at the police station, I used all the money in my pocket to pay for the medical expenses!”
"Now, your pockets are cleaner than your face. How can you have the money to buy rice and noodles?”
"Mom, don't I give you three yuan every month? Just take some out and treat it as lending it to me! Alright?"
Jia Zhang-shi turned her body around and said with her back facing him,"Not good, I won't lend it to you. Those are my coffins. There's no way. Don't you have to go to work later? Can't you just ask him to help you get some from the factory?”
"You don't want what you get for free, but you want to spend money? How are you going to live like this?"
At this moment, Qin Huairu only had a helpless look on her face. It wasn't that this mother-in-law of hers had really taken advantage of her to the extreme.
However, he couldn't just focus on one sheep, right? However, after thinking for a long time, in the entire courtyard house, only Silly Zhu was willing to let her take advantage of her without asking for anything in return.
Hence, Qin Huairu nodded helplessly.""Yes, I am. I understand. I'll ask him for it after work tonight.”
Jia Zhang-shi instantly looked proud." That's right. He should take care of us orphans and widows. Besides, we haven't settled the score with him for the stick!"”
……
On the other side, Zhang Hexuan carried his bag and went to work.
When he arrived at the office, he greeted the old ladies warmly as usual.
Then, she poured herself a cup of tea. As soon as she sat down, a beautiful girl wearing a light pink dress with pigtails came in with a smile on her face.
"Su Meng?" Zhang Hexuan stood up and asked. Why are you here?"
Su Meng walked over with a smile." I'm here to deliver something to my grandma. I just happened to pass by, so I came to see you. Here, I brought you something to eat too!"”
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately took out a fruit bread from her bag and handed it to Zhang Hexuan.
Zhang Hexuan had not eaten anything in the morning, so he took the bread without hesitation.
"This bread is not bad. It's so rich in jam, and there are so many raisins. I've made you spend money! It's been expensive!"
Hearing this, Su Meng's eyes curved into crescent moons.
"Isn't it delicious? I knew you would like it. This bread has just come off the production line. You can't buy such soft bread outside!”
"I came to find you because I wanted to ask you something.”
She blinked her beautiful big eyes and stared at Zhang Hexuan.
"Zhang Hexuan, do you have a girlfriend?”
Zhang Hexuan was shocked and almost choked on the bread in his mouth.
They had only met once, and this little girl had already come to confess to him?
