The ruckus in the backyard lasted for an hour.
Xu Damao received a shoulder throw from Silly Zhu.
After taking another kick, he lay on the ground and groaned.
"Yes!"
Xu Pingqiu took out half a box of peonies from his pocket and lit one.
She leaned against the door and watched the show.
Yi Zhonghai had already dragged Shazhu to the middle court.
Liu Haizhong was rejected by Xu Damao and simply left.
Yan Bugui pretended to comfort him, not wanting to get involved in this mess.
Xu Damao's beating today was for nothing!
Jia Zhang-shi saw that there was no liveliness to watch and was about to lead the little head over.
Inadvertently, he caught a glimpse of his daughter-in-law from the corner of his eye. She was standing there in a daze.
"It's already so late. Hurry up and go back to make dinner for the children!”
Jia Zhang-shi frowned. She felt that the relationship between her daughter-in-law and that short-lived ghost was about to rise again!
"It's time to prepare dinner…"
Qin Huiru quivered.
For some reason, her oval face blushed.
Just now.
Her mind was filled with images of her dating Xu Pingqiu.
The two of them ate popsicles that cost six cents at the entrance of the Red Star Theater.
At the intersection of the capital city, they stood side by side in a crowd and watched people play instruments.
Listening to people sing in Houhai Teahouse.
At that time, how could there be these worries?
"Humph!"
Jia Zhang-shi was so angry that the flesh on her face trembled.
After all, he was someone who had experienced it before. He could tell at a glance.
His daughter-in-law was in love.
It wasn't appropriate to flare up in front of the child and outsiders.
He could only snort coldly to express his dissatisfaction.
Qin Huairu pursed her lips when she saw the unfriendly expression on her mother-in-law's face. Her eyes were filled with resentment.
It was all his fault for being too young back then…
The night air was chilly.
Xu Pingqiu put out his cigarette and walked to the kitchen while humming.
He was about to take down the half-hung smoked meat from the hanging beam.
He looked up and was stunned for a long time.
There was still half of the rope hanging the smoked meat, but the meat was gone.
There were two clear footprints on the bench.
Thieves?
Xu Pingqiu almost subconsciously thought of a joke.
He had to step on a stool to reach the rope. It was obviously done by a child.
In the courtyard, only the stick had the stinky habit of stealing chickens and touching dogs.
With Jia Zhang-shi instigating him from behind, it was hard for Silly Zhu not to learn from him.
The ingrate actually reached into my house?
This matter could not be let go just like that!
Xu Pingqiu pinched his nose and pondered.
The meat had probably already entered his stomach.
If they went to her door now, without any evidence, Jia Zhang-shi would definitely refuse to admit it.
He might even be disgusted by that old hag.
He still had to think of a way to get it done once and for all.
He did not have the time to argue with that family.
Didn't the old woman like to instruct children to steal meat?
Then he would prepare a rack of smoked meat with added ingredients for her, as long as she didn't die from eating it!
Xu Pingqiu had too many things on his mind to prepare dinner.
He took canned meat and bread from the system warehouse.
He then poured a cup of steaming milk powder. It was nutritious and delicious.
"Dong dong dong…"
She had only eaten two mouthfuls when there was a light knock on the door.
Xu Pingqiu opened the door reluctantly with bread in his mouth.
"Qin Huairu, what are you doing here?"
Xu Pingqiu was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost.
If a widow came knocking on the door in the middle of the night, it would be easy for people to gossip.
Moreover, they had a story in the past.
"I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night…"
Qin Huairu was still dressed in her plain cotton clothes, and she seemed to be stuttering when she spoke.
His gaze swept across the dining table behind Xu Pingqiu.
Canned meat, hot milk powder, and orange bread slices.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and she forgot to say what she wanted to say.
"I won't invite you into the house. It's easy for people to misunderstand. If you have anything to say, just leave it at the door.”
Xu Pingqiu swallowed the bread in two or three mouthfuls. His voice was a little muffled.
Qin Huairu gave him a forced smile.
Biting her lips a few times, she seemed to have made up her mind and said,"Take this first. I'll give you the rest when I get paid next month.”
Xu Pingqiu looked down.
Qin Huairu's scarred hands were holding a wad of crumpled notes.
The largest amount was fifty cents, and the rest were all ten cents and a few cents.
"Is this the money for the smoked meat?"
Xu Pingqiu frowned.
Anyone who had watched television dramas would know that Qin Huairu's status was very high.
He had to be on guard at all times.
He didn't want to accidentally fall into her trap.
"That child is still young and ignorant. I've already taught him a lesson. He definitely won't do it again in the future.”
"Seeing that he lost his father at such a young age, can you spare him this time?”
Qin Huai choked and stuffed the money into Xu Pingqiu's hands.
Under his grandmother's instigation, the child went to Shazhu's house to steal things.
After all, Silly Zhu wouldn't mind.
But Xu Pingqiu was different. He had a grudge against the Jia family.
Another firecracker temper.
If this matter were to get out of hand, it would be bad for the meme's reputation.
Moreover, she was now trying to find ways to ease the relationship between the two families.
They couldn't hate each other because of half a stick of smoked meat.
"If I can spare him, will the law forgive him in the future?”
"I don't care how your family teaches their children, but there's one thing. If this happens again, you'll have to bear the consequences!”
Xu Pingqiu folded the notes Qin Huairu had given him and stuffed them into his pocket.
Then, he turned around and entered the house.
With a bang, the door closed.
Qin Huairu stood at the door in disbelief.
She raised her hand halfway and put it down again.
She really did not have the courage to knock on the door a second time.
"I know. Back then, I bullied the poor and loved the rich. I didn't care about your feelings…"
"But the heavens have already punished me!”
"I'm not asking you to forgive me. After all, we live in the same courtyard. We can't possibly become enemies, right?”
"If you still have resentment in your heart, you can scold me.”
Qin Huairu did not leave immediately.
Instead, he stood under the eaves and began to talk to himself.
"Alright, I understand what you mean.”
"Let's just stay out of each other's business like we are now. That's good!”
"I've almost forgotten about what happened back then. In short, thank you for not marrying me!”
Xu Pingqiu was not a bootlicker like Silly Zhu.
He could give up his life for her.
He had transfused blood for the Jia family for a lifetime.
In the end, he almost became extinct.
Qin Huairu had already been branded with the Jia family's name for the rest of her life.
The house they lived in belonged to the Jia family.
Her job was to replace her late husband.
Raising three children, how could they fly out of the Jia Zhang family's Five Fingers Mountain?
Xu Pingqiu would never accept the offer for the Jia family.
Since it was destined to be fruitless, he might as well cut the Gordian knot and extinguish the flame in Qin Huairu's heart as soon as possible.
"Xu Pingqiu, you bastard!"
Qin Huairu's face turned pale when she heard that.
The tears that she had been holding back for a long time flowed out of her eyes.
That sentence of gratitude for not marrying her was like a soft knife stabbing fiercely into her heart.
Qin Huairu left.
Xu Damao, who had been staring at the window for a long time, was still shivering from the cold even though he was covered in a thick quilt.
The chilly north wind blew in through the broken window.
The little bit of heat from the heated bed was instantly blown away.
"Achoo!"
Xu Damao had a runny nose and sneezed a few times.
Obviously, he was going to suffer tonight…
