Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Shazhu:......

No, I just wanted to say, if you want it, I will give it to Sister Qin.

"No, what's going on?" the old man asked with some fatigue.

Jia Zhang had already noticed that something was wrong with Qin Huairu.

Living together every day, she is the most sensitive to Qin Huairu's emotional changes.

There is no way. The old woman relies on this daughter-in-law to make a living. If the daughter-in-law is going to run away, what should she do? She can only wait for death. This is not a joke.

In fact, she had known about this sachet for a long time, but she didn't take it seriously.

In essence, in this era, it is unlikely that a man would give a woman this thing. This is beyond her cognition. But Qin Huairu's condition in the past few days made her worried. In her own words, it was like she was in heat.

Therefore, she must come out and make some noise to show her presence.

She also didn't know who the man was who made Qin Huairu become like this.

Anyway, it doesn't hurt to make some noise.

She has always had only one strategy, which is to tell others that she is not easy to mess with.

"Hey, Aunt Jia, why don't you just talk? Why are you hitting me?" Sha Zhu saw that Jia Zhang had raised her hand, so he ran over quickly. But it was not appropriate to hit an old woman, so he helped to stop her, and then he got slapped in the face.

Only then did Cao Wei see clearly through the crowd what Jia Zhang was holding in her hand.

He didn't care and walked over, about to admit that the sachet was his.

In fact, when he gave Qin Huairu the sachet, he had anticipated this situation. If he was discovered, he was discovered. It was not like they were caught cheating in bed. He could just say something like "Since Sister Qin is not in good condition, I lent it to her for a few days." At most, he could add a few more words saying it was a gift from the master. This explanation would be enough even if some people would gossip behind her back.

But he thought it probably wouldn't be too far-fetched.

As time goes by, it fades.

This admission would bring him trouble, but he was not the irresponsible type.

He was just about to say that he gave it to her and end this farce.

However, a voice made him stunned.

"Aunt Jia, what are you talking about? Are you talking about this sachet? I gave it to sister Huairu." Lou Xiao'e said, blinking her innocent big eyes.

At this moment, Cao Wei felt a chill rushing straight to his head.

"Lou Xiao'e, what nonsense are you talking about! You are younger than Qin Huairu." Xu Damao frowned.

"Oh, that's what I gave to Sister Huairu." Lou Xiao'e readily corrected her mistake.

Qin Huairu's eyes were full of confusion. At this moment, she didn't know what to say.

Wasn't that the sachet given to her by Cao Wei? What's wrong with her memory?

Lou Xiao'e also took out a sachet from her pocket: "Here, it's exactly the same as Sister Huairu's."

Qin Huairu:......

Cao Wei: ...

OK OK.

Lou Xiao'e, you are really amazing.

What does it mean to strike first? This is what it means to strike first!

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e had an innocent smile on her face, but to Cao Wei, this smile was dark.

You have no heart, Lou Puppy!

He knew that Lou Xiao'e would stop him. If a woman said that he wanted to pick up another woman in front of her, she would go crazy, then she was not a normal person. Coincidentally, this woman named Lou Xiao'e was not a normal person. She was a little more outrageous than a normal person. She was a fun person. She had already regarded this as a game.

Cao Wei wanted a widow, so she destroyed it.

There is no reason for Cao Wei to take action and not let her destroy it. There is no such logic in this world.

This time, Lou Xiao'e showed her sharp fangs for the first time and taught Cao Wei a solid lesson.

Qin Huairu's expression changed from confusion to disbelief to sudden enlightenment to an inexplicable complexity.

For some reason, she suddenly understood what the phrase "Sister Huairu" meant.

"Sister", right?

The look she gave Cao Wei became somewhat resentful.

"Okay, okay, now that the matter has been made clear, Jia Zhangshi, you should stop making a fuss. It's just a sachet, what's there to be fussing about?" An old man came out and said.

Everyone also found it boring.

If this was given by someone else, everyone would be a little interested. But no matter whether it is a man or a woman, why would someone give a sachet for no reason?

But if it was given by Lou Xiaoe, then it wouldn’t be surprising.

Everyone knows that Lou Xiao'e is a rich lady. When she is bored, she likes to go out and have a look. If she buys too much, she will give it to her mentally ill neighbor. What's wrong with being kind? This is also good and reasonable.

"That's not right. Why haven't I seen this sachet before?" Xu Damao yelled.

"Come on, you haven't seen this sachet yet. There are so many things in the room that you haven't seen. Otherwise, I will tell you one by one." Lou Xiao'e put her hands on her hips and scolded Xu Damao.

Well, I didn’t have the main meal.

It's also good to eat appetizers.

At least, it’s nice to see Xu Damao being criticized.

Today's conference was full of twists and turns. After everyone had their fill, they went home.

The originally relaxed mood became even more joyful.

Except Cao Wei and Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu returned home and didn't say a word. She just sat on the stool silently, supporting her chin with her hands and staring blankly.

This performance made Jia Zhang a little confused.

What does this mean?

According to the usual script, Qin Huairu had already started arguing with her when she came back. For some reason, she felt uneasy.

"Huai Ru, don't blame mom. It's not easy for mom either..."

"I understand." Qin Huairu said slowly.

"Ah? What do you know?"

"You want to tell others that you are not easy to mess with, so you try your best to bully me. You also want to tell others that they can't take me away."

Jia Zhangshi:......

There is no need to put it so bluntly.

"I won't leave." Qin Huairu looked at the dim lights outside the house with a deep gaze, not knowing what she was thinking.

For a moment, Jia Zhang didn't know what to say.

What? All my little thoughts have been exposed. There is no point in arguing with her.

Most of her tricks were aimed at outsiders. It wasn't that she wouldn't target Qin Huairu, but it was meaningless to target her. Now the whole family was supported by only Qin Huairu. If she targeted her too lightly, it would be ineffective. If she targeted too heavily, she would still be in trouble. But now that Qin Huairu was like this, she doubted for the first time whether her old methods were no longer effective.

Qin Huairu didn't say anything, she just sat there quietly.

Her mind was confused.

She didn't know what to do now.

anger?

Resentment?

angry?

Suddenly, she smiled.

Yes, she smiled a little, she felt a little ridiculous.

"Huai Ru, don't scare your mother..." Jia Zhang was frightened by this smile.

"It's okay, Mom. I'm tired. I'm going to sleep first."
