Other than these few families, only the Jia family looked wealthy.
The whole family was glowing with health. Only that little girl looked a little thin.
However, Jia Zhangshi still had a stick. She had a greasy face every day, so how bad could her life be?
In the courtyard, the rest of the families were basically all in a bad mood. Not many of them were living well.
The other children in the courtyard were all very thin and small, and the adults were also malnourished.
The clothes on their bodies were all kinds of patches. Many children did not even have a decent piece of clothing.
This was a common phenomenon in this society.
Today was also the second year of the famine. Everyone was really having a hard time.
However, Chen Jianjun had also underestimated Qin Huairu's rank. After hearing Chen Jianjun's words, his eyes immediately turned red, and he looked like he was about to cry. With a choked voice, he said,
"Brother Jianjun, the children at home are making a fuss about eating it. It's not easy for me as a woman. I'll just give two pieces to the children to try and trick them.
I know that you're a good person and that the relationship between the two families isn't harmonious, but the children are innocent. I'll get the children to come over later and thank you properly!”
However, Qin Huairu had underestimated Chen Jianjun's temperament.
The methods that he used to deal with He Yuzhu were useless against Chen Jianjun.
Chen Jianjun didn't waste his breath. He had already said what he needed to say. If he continued, Qin Huairu could continue to pester him.
Chen Jianjun stood up and closed the door decisively.
Qin Huairu did not expect that her charm would be completely useless. She also did not expect Chen Jianjun to be so determined.
Standing at the tightly shut door, Qin Huairu stomped her foot unwillingly before leaving.
In a side room not far away, Yi Zhonghai saw the whole process and heard the short conversation between the two.
He turned around and said to the Deaf old lady," This Chen Jianjun is too vengeful. It's been a few years, but he still remembers the Jia family's matter. I don't think we can count on him at all!"”
Hearing this, the Deaf Old Lady did not say anything else.
In fact, in the Deaf Old Lady's opinion, Chen Jianjun wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't let go. But now, she had heard the situation, so she couldn't persuade him anymore.
In fact, Jianjun Chen wasn't a stingy person, but he really kept a respectful distance from the Jia family and didn't want to bother with them at all.
Otherwise, he would really be stuck.
If it was someone else, Jianjun Chen would definitely not have such an attitude.
The other people in the courtyard had different reactions.
He Yuzhu had also seen what had happened to Qin Huiru and Chen Jianjun. When he saw Qin Huiru being locked outside the door, he was instantly enraged.
As soon as he stepped out, he bumped into Qin Huairu, who was walking out of the Moon Gate. He said angrily,""Sister Qin, this Chen Jianjun is too inhuman. Just you wait and see how I'll teach him a lesson!”
When Qin Huairu saw this, she grabbed He Yuzhu's arm and said,""Silly Zhu, you can't blame others. You can only blame yourself for not being capable. But what about my children? They're all growing and complaining about hunger every day.”
Qin Huairu did not want He Yuzhu to cause a ruckus. It was his duty not to give it to him. If he caused a ruckus, it would not look good on the Jia family's reputation.
At this moment, Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance was truly pitiful.
With his arm being pulled, He Yuzhu was instantly overjoyed.
Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, He Yuzhu immediately took out five yuan from his pocket and placed it in Qin Huairu's hand. He said,""Sister Qin, use this five yuan first. Buy some meat for the children tomorrow. Chen Jianjun has no conscience, but I'm different!”
Instinctively, He Yuzhu wanted to show off in front of Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu did not expect to have such an unexpected gain.
This seemed to be a good idea. Five yuan was not a small sum of money. It was enough to feed a person for a month.
Qin Huairu didn't stand on ceremony and decisively kept the five yuan. She let go of He Yuzhu's arm and said gently,"
" But, you know the children at home. They are asking for meat now. It's all because of Chen Jianjun. Why are they braising meat? That child can't eat anything now…"
The moment she received the five yuan, Qin Huairu's rank instantly rose by a level.
The attributes of the white lotus flower showed signs of awakening.
As for He Yuzhu's bootlicker nature, it was awakened when his finger touched Qin Huairu's finger when he took the money.
He Yuzhu felt like his heart was about to melt. He hurriedly said,"Sister Qin, wait a moment!"
Soon, He Yuzhu returned with a bowl of rice in her hand. The rice had been poured with pork fat, soy sauce, chopped green onions, and some pork fat residue.
He handed his dinner to Qin Huairu and said in embarrassment,"
"This is the lard-mixed rice I just made. Take it back and give it to the child first. I'll stew meat tomorrow too. I'll share some with you guys later.”
Pork rice was considered a luxury in this era.
Naturally, Qin Huairu would not reject him. She took the bowl of rice and thanked him before heading home.
He Yuzhu watched as Qin Huairu walked home and smiled foolishly. It was only when Qin Huairu had disappeared from his sight that he turned back to look at the Chen family's seat behind the Moon Gate and spat in displeasure.
However, when He Yuzhu returned home, he realized that his dinner had been given to someone else.
However, he didn't regret it. Instead, he steamed the rice again.
Qin Huairu did not bring any meat back home, but she did bring back pork oil mixed rice.
Jia Zhang-shi grabbed it without any hesitation and poured half of it into her bowl. Then, she gave the rest to the stick.
Little Dang was drooling at the side. Just as he opened his mouth to say that he wanted to eat too, he was slapped by Jia Zhangshi. Little Dang immediately started crying.
"You good-for-nothing, what are you eating?”Jia Zhang-shi didn't hide her disgust for Little Dang and rushed to the side.
Qin Huairu pulled Little Dang over, feeling a little distressed. She felt extremely depressed as she watched her mother-in-law's methods.
Jia Dongxu stood at the side and did not leave anything behind. However, he did not dare to compete with Jia Zhangshi. Instead, he asked Qin Huairu,""Why isn't there any meat? And this isn't from Chen Jianjun, right?”
Qin Huairu nodded and explained the process, omitting the five yuan He Yuzhu had given her.
Jia Zhang-shi was immediately annoyed and shouted," This little bastard whose parents have died. He doesn't even know how to send some food over. His conscience has been eaten by dogs. No wonder his whole family is dead…"
Qin Huairu really had a headache over her eccentric mother-in-law. She ignored her and sat down to eat her corn paste.
Jia Dongxu, on the other hand, said,"Jianjun Chen is a bastard. I'll teach him a lesson tonight!"”
