The Birds in the Courtyard, the Manners of Life
Late at night, when Qin Huiru returned from Pigeon City after exchanging food.
The lights in Silly Zhu's house in the middle court were still on. It seemed that he had already persuaded Liang Ladi to come back.
He looked at the door of Shazhu's house.
Qin Huairu recalled how she had haggled with people just now, hoping to exchange for more food, but was mercilessly mocked by them.
Thinking back to the past few years, Silly Pillar had been giving him two lunch boxes every day without asking for anything in return.
Qin Huairu's tears of regret were about to fall again…
When he returned home, his eldest son and mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, were still awake.
"Didn't I tell you to sleep first and not wait for me?”
"Mom, I want to eat peanuts…"
It turned out to be a joke. After watching Chen Yi eat peanuts at night, he was also craving for it.
"Eat peanuts? Ha…"
"We can't eat at home, you know? We're still eating peanuts! Stop fooling around and go to sleep. You still have school tomorrow!”
When he heard Qin Huiru's words, he pursed his lips in disappointment.
"Hey, Qin Huairu, what's wrong with you?”
" If my boy wants to eat peanuts, go get them. You can't even satisfy a child's wish. You're too useless…"
"Besides, didn't we have thirty-five yuan just now? What's wrong with buying some peanuts? It's been a long time since we bought snacks at home.”
Jia Zhangshi, who was standing at the side, did not know if she was craving it herself or if she was unhappy after seeing the joke, but she actually started to criticize Qin Huairu without distinguishing right from wrong.
" I…"
"That's easy for you to say. The salted peanuts cost 50 cents per catty. With this 50 cents, I can exchange it for three catties of multi-grain noodles.”
Although Qin Huairu was very angry, she had no choice but to explain.
Multigrain flour was a mixture of flour, rice flour, and millet flour. It was the cheapest grain, and most families used it to make cornbread.
Obviously, without the support of Silly Pillar's lunch box, the Jia family's main food could only be cornbread.
"Yes, we did take money from the three masters last night.”
"But even with this money, if our family continues to eat like this, who knows how many more days we can last!”
"You're an adult. Why are you messing around with a child?”
Qin Huairu continued to reason with her mother-in-law, hoping that she would understand her difficulties.
"Alright, alright, I won't talk so much with you. Anyway, there's nothing to eat at home because you're useless…"
Who was Jia Zhangshi?
Did she look like a reasonable person? Obviously not!
Upon hearing that this wicked mother-in-law of his was obviously unreasonable, yet she still insisted on pestering him, Qin Huiru was infuriated once again. She turned around and pushed the door open to leave.
He came to the pond in the middle of the courtyard and looked at the lights in Shazhu's house.
Qin Huairu could no longer hold back her tears as they flowed down her face.
"Silly Zhu's family should be very happy now…"
Qin Huairu couldn't help but think in despair as the cold night breeze blew against her.
Little did he know.
At this moment, the husband and wife were still in a cold war at Silly Zhu's house!
Liang Lade's four children could not hold it in anymore. They were so sleepy that they fell asleep in bed.
However, she was still sitting by the bed with her almond-shaped eyes wide open and a cold smile on her face, looking at Silly Zhu.
In this state.
Ever since Silly Zhu smiled apologetically and persuaded her to come back, it had been going on until now.
At this moment, Shazhu was sitting on the chair beside the table, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
From time to time, he looked up at Liang Lade. When he met her fierce gaze, he lowered his head guiltily.
After a long time.
Silly Zhu finally couldn't take it anymore. He gritted his teeth and stood up to walk to the bed.
"Radi, it's getting late. Let's go and rest!”
"I still have to go to the cafeteria to work tomorrow morning…"
Silly Zhu spoke in a low voice. Today was his fault, so he couldn't be tough at all.
"Hmph…you can sleep next door by yourself!”
Even though Silly Pillar's attitude was already very low, Liang Ladi did not have the slightest intention of going down the stairs.
Her expression was still as ugly as ever.
"You…"
"Fine, I'll sleep by myself…"
Looking at Liang Ladi's performance, Silly Zhu clenched his fists in embarrassment.
However, after a long time, he was defeated by the woman's cold gaze.
When he walked out of the room, Shazhu shook his head gloomily.
He felt that his married life was a little different from what he had initially imagined…
However, when Silly Zhu walked out of the door and saw Qin Huiru in a daze by the pool in the middle of the courtyard.
His expression changed for a while, but in the end, he still put on a calm expression.
Don't wash your dirty linen in public…
Furthermore, it was in front of Qin Huairu, the woman he had once licked.
……
In the middle court, except for the He family and the Jia family.
Yi Zhonghai was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
"Hey, old woman, do you think we can still count on this stupid Zhu Zi?”
"Aiya, ever since Silly Zhu got married, how many times have you asked me?”
"Aren't you the one who usually makes decisions? How would I know if you ask me now?”
Aunt Yi rolled over helplessly.
She was really speechless towards her husband.
This guy used to have the image of a wise man who planned everything from afar.
He had almost collapsed by himself!
"Sigh, if it was just Silly Zhu, I would still be quite confident.”
" But the concubine that his family is marrying now is really not easy to talk to…"
He thought of the "filial" and sensible Shazhu in the past, and then thought of the "unruly" and fierce Liang Ladi now.
Yi Zhonghai felt that these two days.
Because of this matter, a large amount of his hair fell out again.
"If you ask me, why are you thinking so much?”
"One day, when his wife is not around, you can ask Silly Zhu Zi yourself and see what he means now!”
"If his attitude is not good or is unclear at that time.”
"You should find someone else as soon as possible. Anyway, you can still do it at this time. It's not too late to find someone else who's willing to support us in our old age!”
It had to be said that the bystanders saw more clearly than the players involved.
Aunt Yi, who usually did not have a strong sense of presence and had been hiding behind the scenes and rarely " showing off " herself, understood the situation with Silly Zhu better than Yi Zhonghai.
"That makes sense…"
"Honey, why did you open a smart hole today?”
Hearing Aunt Yi's words.
Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt enlightened.
"Go to hell. Look at the time. Hurry up and sleep!”
Seeing that her words seemed to have enlightened her husband, Aunt Yi was also very happy.
However, Aunt Yi's advice for him to rest…
Yi Zhonghai, who had just been enlightened, was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.
Furthermore, he habitually thought a little further.
"But, if by that time, Silly Zhu can't be relied on.”
"Then in this courtyard, who should we look for?”
Aunt Yi was completely speechless. She turned her back to Yi Zhonghai.
“……”
"I can't be bothered with you. Think about it slowly!”
