After Liu Haizhong finished his concluding speech, the men and women left with their stools.
Ma Hua nodded at Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, then got up and returned to the front yard.
Behind them, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li looked at each other, their eyes filled with unwillingness.
Yan Jiecheng shook his head helplessly when he saw Yan Fugui's questioning gaze.
When Yan Fugui saw this, his originally expectant eyes instantly turned into disappointment. He could only comfort himself in his heart,
She was reconsidering whether she should go and find Yi Zhonghai.
Hua Ma was on his way home, listening to his neighbors discussing the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family. Hua Ma knew that if this kind of thing continued to happen next time,
Yi Zhonghai was probably going to feel the power of the people's unity.
Lu Ge was still asleep when he got home. Ma Hua was indeed a little too excited last night, so he was full of apologies to his wife now.
Then, he took out four big white steamed buns and a plate of braised pork from the space and placed them in the pot on the stove in the room to warm them up.
If his wife woke up, he could eat directly!
As for Ma Lei, he was still asleep after feeding him milk in the middle of the night.
Ma Hua then closed the door and crawled into bed. He hugged his wife again and couldn't fall asleep for a while.
This wasn't because Hua Ma had other bad intentions, but because Hua Ma was thinking about how to get back his losses from the Jia family.
It was definitely not possible to ask for it directly. After all, Ma Hua did not know if the Jia family would return the loan this time.
Moreover, it was better to ask for help than to ask for help from others.
Ma Hua believed in the saying,"If the mountain doesn't come to you, you will go to the mountain!"”
The Jia family would not return Ma Hua's money, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Then Ma Hua could take the initiative to think of a way to make up for the loss from the Jia family and make himself feel good!
"Then how exactly should we do this?”Ma Hua was a little conflicted.
Ma Hua quietly pondered for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he had an idea.
"Use the Jia family's resources to relieve my losses!
Since I can't get the money back directly, can I use the space's function to retrieve things from afar?
It was definitely dangerous during the day. After all, he lived in the front yard and rarely went to the back.
Therefore, it was definitely not suitable to go during the day! Since that was the case, he could only wait for the night.”
Thinking of this, Ma Hua's thoughts cleared up.
Then, he continued to rest. He had to save energy for the night.
……
Evening, Jia residence!
The cudgel and Little Dang had already fallen asleep. Jia Zhangshi was sitting on the bed, holding the newborn locust flower in her arms.
As for Qin Huairu, she was currently sitting in front of the sewing machine, rushing to make the diapers that her younger daughter needed every day.
In this day and age, many people prepared diapers that could no longer be mended. It might be more appropriate to call them rags.
Jia Zhang-shi hugged the locust flower and rocked it back and forth. From time to time, she would even pat the child's back so that the child could sleep more soundly.
After all, if the children were to make a fuss at night, no one in the family would be able to sleep well!
Under the dim yellow light, Jia Zhangshi's eyes flickered as she said to Qin Huairu,"
"Huai Ru! Do we really have to return the money we borrowed today?
That's nearly 50 yuan!"
Qin Huairu stopped what she was doing when she heard this. She turned to Jia Zhangshi and said,"
"Grandma, today, I promised the neighbor who borrowed money from the Jia family on behalf of the Jia family. I have to return the money!”
When Jia Zhang-shi heard this, she turned around and gently placed the small locust flower on the bed. After slowly getting off the bed, she sat beside Qin Huairu and said,
"Huai Ru, although you will be entering the factory after the new year, with that little salary you just got, your family's expenses will definitely not be enough. Where will you get the spare money to return them?”
Qin Huairu pondered for a moment. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and said to Jia Zhangshi,"
"Don't we still have Dongxu's compensation? In addition to the monthly salary after entering the factory,
If it was replaced with noodles, there would still be some left at home.”
When Jia Zhang-shi heard this, her expression instantly changed. She hurriedly waved her hand and said,
"You can't have any ideas about that money. This is my retirement money. When Bangtang grows up in the future, this money can be used to get him a wife.
Listen to me. It's not like I haven't experienced today's predicament.
When I was young, I raised Dongxu by myself. I relied on borrowing money to renege on my debts until Dongxu grew up.
This way, he could not not not return the money, nor could he return it all!
When the time came, he would return it to his neighbors who were not well-off.
This group had the most people, but they donated the least money. After they returned the money, they could still build a good relationship with the neighbors and not become enemies with the entire courtyard!
The rest of the people ignored him. After all, these people had savings at home and cared about their reputation in the courtyard.
For example, Ma Hua's family in the front yard, First Uncle, Second Uncle, Silly Zhu, and Xu Damao's family.
These people earned a lot every month and did not care about these three melons and two dates!”
When Qin Huairu heard this, she muttered to herself for a moment before saying worriedly,"
"Ma Hua's family, Second Uncle's family, and Xu Damao's family are not close to us.
However, this old man and Silly Zhu have helped our family a lot. For example, during this period of time, Silly Zhu's lunch boxes were basically all given to us. We didn't even get to eat much rainwater!
If you don't return it, will our relationship…"
Jia Zhangshi naturally understood Qin Huairu's hesitation. However, Jia Zhangshi lowered her voice and said to Qin Huairu,"
"Huairu, Yi Zhonghai helped us because he doesn't have a child. Then, he put the idea of providing for his old age on the stick. He definitely won't care about this little bit of money.
As for Silly Zhu…"
As she spoke, Jia Zhang-shi's lips twitched, revealing a mocking smile, and she continued,
"Why don't you say that Silly Zhu is stupid? He's the one who treats us the best in this courtyard other than Yi Zhonghai.
At first, I thought that he was after you, but in the end, I realized that Silly Zhu was just helping, he didn't even care about his sister!
Do you think such a stupid person is easy to fool?”
Qin Huiru looked troubled when she heard that."
"Aren't we going too far? These are all good people who helped us!”
Jia Zhang-shi listened disapprovingly, her eyes squinting as she said:
"Don't forget that we still have three children at home!
As their mother, do you really intend to give them Korean noodles? The child needs nutrition to grow. With our family's wealth, we can't provide this!”
When Qin Huairu heard that, she looked at the child on the bed again. A hint of determination flashed across her eyes as she said to Jia Zhangshi,"
"Then we'll do as you say. When the juniors come, you can go and cry about being poor. They won't go too far in front of you.
If the elders of the Council come, I will deal with them personally. They won't make things difficult for a junior like me. What do you think?”
Jia Zhang-shi's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law. After a while, the lights in the room were turned off...
……
It was late at night, and the courtyard was silent.
Ma Hua looked at his sleeping wife and slowly got up. Then, he went to another room and entered the space.
She had changed into clothes and shoes that no one had seen before.
Looking at the time displayed on the panel in front of him, Ma Hua let out a sigh of relief and thought to himself,
"Yes, it's 2:30 in the morning, the same time as Nero Zhou!”
The creaking sound of the door opening was kept in the space to avoid waking Lu Ge and the child.
Then, he walked out of the house.
Ma Hua had changed his shoes to a smaller size. He endured the discomfort and thought,"
"The police in this era shouldn't be as professional as the police in my previous life. Moreover, if we can't find the evidence, we can only admit that we're unlucky.
Sigh…I'm a reborn person. It's too embarrassing for me to wake up at 2:30 in the morning to become a thief for a mere 70 cents.
However, if he didn't do so, he would feel disgusted and flustered!
'As expected, I'm not someone who does big things. I can't even take such a loss.'
In the future, he should just cook properly!”
As he thought to himself, he did not stop moving. Fortunately, the snow on the main road and the doors leading to the houses had been stepped on. Otherwise, it would not be easy to get these footprints.
At this moment, the courtyard house was silent. There was no sound of insects chirping in the middle of the night in the middle of summer.
Occasionally, a gust of northern wind would blow over, causing his ears to quickly turn red.
They passed through the round arch and arrived at the middle courtyard.
Ma Hua looked around carefully and felt that there was no one around, so he quickly walked to the place where the Jia family had placed the coal. He estimated that he had put about 60 to 70 cents worth of coal into the space.
Then, he tiptoed away.
As soon as she reached home, she threw the clothes and shoes she had just worn into the space and cleaned up the traces she had left before going to bed.
Ma Hua used his consciousness to look at the small pile of briquettes in the space. He gave a thumbs up to his childish behavior.
Then, she fell asleep in a good mood.
As for what the Jia family would do after daybreak, Ma Hua couldn't be bothered to think about it. After all, he had made up for his losses and his thoughts were clear.
Ma Hua thought that this matter had ended before him!
What would the Jia family's reaction be like after daybreak?
