In this era, divorce was something that was despised by others. Although it was not to the extent of being soaked in a pig cage, it was inevitable that one's backbone would be poked.
In the original Siheyuan novel, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao had been criticized behind their backs when they divorced.
Therefore, no matter how hard Qin Huairu had been living in the Jia family, she had never thought of getting a divorce.
Firstly, he didn't want to be gossiped about, and secondly, he didn't have a second choice.
How many divorced rural women would be willing to take over?
But now, Qin Huairu's heart suddenly warmed up.
If Dongfang Ming really liked her and still had feelings for her, it would not be a bad thing for her to divorce Jia Dongxu and live a good life with Dongfang Ming.
After all, Jia Dongxu's monthly salary was only twenty-two and a half yuan, and he had a vicious mother at home, while Dongfang Ming's monthly salary was more than eighty yuan. He was alone and had no burdens.
If she were to marry Dongfang Ming, wouldn't she be living a godly life?
Qin Huairu was shocked by her own thoughts.
She stole a glance at Dongfang Ming, and her face blushed unnaturally. She didn't dare to stay in this place any longer.
"First Uncle, I, I'll go back first. I'm still waiting for dinner at home.”Qin Huairu bade farewell to the first uncle before turning around and leaving swiftly.
At this moment, it was no longer important to borrow the eggs. She had to find a place to calm down and think about the possibility of getting back together with Dongfang Ming.
After Qin Huairu left, only the First Uncle and Dongfang Ming were left in the room.
The First Uncle looked at Dongfang Ming and wanted to say something to persuade him, but after some thought, he turned around and left without saying anything.
……
"Did you hear? Dongfang Ming gave the matchmaker, Aunt Wang, two taels of brown sugar and a pound of eggs in order to find a partner!”
"That's right. Aunt Wang has been running around the streets like crazy these days just to find a suitable partner for Dongfang Ming.”
"Tsk, why don't we go and try our luck? It's fine to earn some eggs from him."
He Yuzhu, who had just returned from work, could not help but mutter when she heard the voices of the people in the courtyard.
"This Dongfang Ming is not a good person."
"He clearly knows that I'm in a hurry to go on a blind date. Why did he raise the errand fee so high? Are you trying to disgust me?"
"You earn more than 80 yuan a month. If you don't care about these eggs and brown sugar, no one else can afford it!”
Like Dongfang Ming, He Yuzhu was also a bachelor in the Siheyuan.
He worked as a cook in the rolling mill and cooked well. Seeing that he was getting old, he wanted to start a family.
In the end, he tried to find Aunt Wang a few times, but she rejected him every time.
After asking around, he found out that he didn't pay Dongfang Ming as much as he did. The matchmaker, Aunt Wang, despised the poor and favored the rich, so she didn't accept his work.
This made He Yuzhu feel uncomfortable. After pondering for a while, he slapped his thigh and said,
"No, I have to find him and talk to Dongfang Ming.”
He Yuzhu carried the food box and walked past the front yard. After entering the middle yard, he rushed into the backyard without hesitation.
In the end, she bumped into a child.
The stick guy was wearing open-crotch pants, swaying forward. His target seemed to be Dongfang Ming's family.
He Yuzhu took a step forward and stood in front of the stick, making a face."Hey, awesome! Where are you going!"
"See what Uncle brought you!"
As He Yuzhu spoke, she brought the food box in front of her and shook it at the stick.
The stick looked at He Yuzhu and ignored him. He continued to move forward without saying a word.
Slowly climbing up the stairs, the stick guy lifted the curtain and barged into Dongfang Ming's house.
At the same time, he said as Grandma taught him,"Uncle, I'm hungry. I want to eat eggs.”
It turned out that ever since Qin Huairu returned empty-handed that day, Jia Zhang-shi had been thinking about Dongfang Ming's eggs.
This shameless old man didn't dare to look for Dongfang Ming himself, so he urged the stick to come and ask for the eggs.
After all, it was only natural for a child to eat when he was hungry.
Dongfang Ming was an adult. Even if he didn't like the Jia family, he couldn't possibly make things difficult for a child.
Anyway, the purpose of Jia Zhangshi's teaching was: If he couldn't get it, he would steal it. If he couldn't steal it, he would snatch it. He wanted to eat the egg no matter what.
It would be even better if she could eat two more pieces of brown sugar or secretly bring some for Grandma.
Therefore, the leftovers that He Yuzhu brought back were no longer fragrant in the eyes of the stick.
This little ingrate was determined to go to Dongfang Ming's house to eat eggs.
In the room, Dongfang Ming was napping on the bed.
A casserole of eggs was cooking in the stove beside him.
There were star anise and other spices inside. It was steaming hot and emitting a fragrance. It was a pot of tea eggs.
There was nothing good these days. Pork, brown sugar, and canned eggs were the most nutritious food.
Dongfang Ming didn't have pork tickets, so he could only cook all kinds of eggs.
Compared to pork, there were many sources of eggs. Whoever raised a chicken in private and laid an egg could secretly sell it at the market for money.
When the stick saw the Herbal Tea Egg in the claypot, he immediately walked in with his short legs.
He Yuzhu stuck his head out and followed behind him.
The two of them didn't make a sound as they slowly approached the stove.
Then, he reached out his hand and grabbed the clay pot.
This silly child only knew how to eat and didn't realize that she would be scalded.
By the time He Yuzhu wanted to stop him, it was already too late.
The stick's chubby hand reached into the clay pot.
Immediately after, an extremely mournful wail sounded."Ah! Waah!"
Dongfang Ming, who was dozing off, opened his eyes and saw He Yuzhu hugging the stick helplessly and trying to coax him.
The little hand of the stick was scalded red by the boiling soup, but it was still holding a Herbal Tea Egg tightly.
Dongfang Ming knew what was going on without asking.
"Heh, you deserve to steal at such a young age!”Dongfang Ming smiled happily.
When He Yuzhu heard that, he frowned and said unhappily,
"Dongfang Ming, do you have a conscience? The child is already scalded to this extent, and you're still making sarcastic remarks?”
Dongfang Ming did not like He Yuzhu. He chuckled.""A thief is a thief. If I have a conscience for a thief, then I'm not responsible for a good person.”
"He Yuzhu, you too. Did I ask you to come into my house? What are you trying to do? Burglary or robbery?"
"Dongfang Ming, what are you talking about?!" He Yuzhu was furious. How did I break in and steal? Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
"What's wrong?"
When an old man next door heard the child's scream, he immediately ran over with an auntie.
Immediately after, Jia Zhangshi ran over with Qin Huiru following behind her.
"Awesome, awesome, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Grandma!"
As soon as Jia Zhang-shi entered the room, she hugged her stick and cried. She pointed at Dongfang Ming and said in a furious voice,
"Dongfang Ming, you bastard, what did you do to me?”
Looking at the people in front of him, Dongfang Ming sneered in his heart.
Alright, all the monsters and monsters were here.
