Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

Jia Dongxu quickly asked Qin Huairu to sit down. There was a dark and clean square table with a chair on each side.

The people around also gathered around.

Jia Dongxu sat in the outermost seat, with his mother Jia Zhang on his left, Zhang Xiu Lan next to him, and Qin Huairu sitting opposite him.

The two young people sat face to face and chatted with each other, and they looked pretty good.

Jia Zhang, who originally thought that this daughter-in-law was just so-so, now felt uncomfortable when she saw how warm her son was to Qin Huairu.

Just looking at the two of them made me feel uncomfortable, and it even showed on my face, looking unhappy.

After chatting for a whole morning, Qin Huairu was almost full from drinking water and it was almost time for lunch, but Jia Zhang was still not preparing lunch.

This made everyone in the room hungry, and even Zhang Xiu Lan felt it difficult to go home for dinner. After all, the girl was still there, and it was not good for her to stay alone in the Jia family.

Wait a minute, Jia Dongxu was hungry, and seeing that his mother hadn't cooked yet, he said stupidly.

"Mom, what are you looking at? I'm starving!"

"If you're hungry, then make yourself some food. You deserve to starve to death. I'm too lazy to do that!"

Jia Zhang sneered, turned around and left, leaving the main room to everyone.

After Jia Zhang left, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu were left behind, and Zhang Xiulan looked at each other awkwardly.

Qin Huairu, who originally had a good impression of the Jia family, was somewhat unwilling to stay here because of Jia Zhang's behavior, but she couldn't leave.

After all, the person was called by Jia Dongxu's mother, and Jia Dongxu would feel embarrassed if she left.

"Dongxu, you must be hungry. Let's go to your uncle Yi's house with Huairu to eat. In the afternoon, call your mother and take Huairu out for a walk. She has never been to the city to play."

Jia Dongxu glanced at Qin Huairu, showed a hint of guilt to her, and said.

"Sister Huairu, my mother has this temper. Don't be surprised. Sometimes when I annoy her, even I get scolded."

"Aunt, I won't go to your house to eat. I have to cook something for the family, otherwise my mother won't cook for the whole day."

"Please entertain Sister Huairu for me." As he said this, he stood up and saw Qin Huairu and Zhang Xiulan off.

Zhang Xiulan was just being polite. After all, Jia Dongxu was at a time when he could bankrupt her. With He Daqing's occasional subsidies in the factory cafeteria, she could still eat her fill.

I never had enough to eat at the Jia family.

What's more, Zhang Xiulan's family has no children, and the food rations for the two of them are good. Jia Dongxu would not be full even if he ate two kilograms of such good food.

When she heard that Jia Dongxu was not going, she felt relieved. Qin Huairu, a girl, couldn't eat much.

Zhang Xiulan also happily took Qin Huairu away.

"Okay, see you in the afternoon, Dongxu!"

Afterwards, he took Qin Huairu home. Yi Zhonghai was still waiting for her news at home. She had to cook for Yi Zhonghai when she got home, so she was very busy.

Qin Huairu was angry because of Jia Zhang's attitude just now. She lowered her head and followed Zhang Xiulan without speaking to Jia Dongxu again.

But Jia Dongxu was so curious that he stood at the door and stretched his neck to look outside.

"Look how greedy you are, you are so reluctant to leave Huairu!"

When Jia Zhang heard that there was no one in the inner room, she came out to see what was happening. When she saw Jia Dongxu's expression, she gave him a cold look.

"No way!"

Having been caught, Jia Dongxu scratched his head with a wry smile and replied with a guilty conscience.

Jia Zhang just pretended not to see it.

...

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai waited anxiously for a long time.

The fidgeting didn't last long.

Zhang Xiulan finally pushed the door open and said as soon as she entered.

"What's going on? What do you mean?"

"Oh, don't mention it. This Jia Zhang is really not good at doing things. Look at me and Huairu sitting in their house for the whole morning. We didn't have any water to drink, and I had to cook it. There was no lunch prepared. I was so angry that I took Huairu back directly."

Zhang Xiulan was so angry that she told Qin Huairu about the upset she had this morning, while secretly watching Qin Huairu's reaction.

When he saw the little girl, he was quite satisfied with the Jia family, but suddenly after hearing what Zhang Xiulan said, he finally reacted.

His face looked a little unhappy, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

Yi Zhonghai was immediately happy when he heard this. This was exactly the effect he wanted, but he couldn't really smile and pretended to be angry.

"Well, this Jia Zhang is a notorious unreasonable person in our courtyard. Huairu, it's your uncle who was inconsiderate and thought that Dongxu was fine, and he forgot that there was still his mother. Since ancient times, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem has always been difficult to solve, and Jia Zhang has such a temper."

"Huai Ru, do you like Dong Xu?"

"Just tell me the truth and I'll make the decision for you."

Qin Huairu, who was originally happy, now had a worried look on her face. She lowered her head and stammered.

"Brother Dongxu, he is not bad. He looks good and has a stable job with commercial grains, but... just like you said."

Qin Huairu was embarrassed to say it, but Zhang Xiulan wouldn't.

Standing and talking to Yi Zhonghai.

"What else could it be? It's just Jia Zhang's attitude. She always looks down on Huai Ru because she is from the countryside and keeps making things difficult for her."

Yi Zhonghai naturally knew what Jia Zhang was like. He glanced at Qin Huairu and nodded.

"Jia Zhang has indeed gone too far."

Qin Huairu looked up at Yi Zhonghai, pursed her lips, and lowered her head in silence.

Zhang Xiulan felt distressed when she saw this look.

She knew whether Jia Zhang was going too far or not.

"Huai Ru, you see your brother Dong Xu is a good guy. Jia Zhangshi has a bad temper, but she is simple-minded and straightforward. Although she is sometimes unreasonable, it is not a big problem."

"That's right. You have a rural hukou, but it can't be changed. You are wronged by this. Aren't we ordinary people just living our lives? There are bumps and bruises everywhere. Just be a young wife and bear it and it will pass."

Qin Huairu, who was already unhappy, felt even more aggrieved after hearing what Zhang Xiulan said. She pouted and lowered her head, looking particularly pitiful.

Yi Zhonghai saw that the time was right, exchanged glances with Zhang Xiulan and continued.

"Xiu Lan, stop talking. Every family has its own problems. Huai Ru, if you think the Jia family is good, your aunt Xiu Lan will go home with you this afternoon. Tell your parents and find another day to talk to the Jia family. Life is always tough sometimes."

If this couple were not from a genuine working-class family, people who didn't know them would definitely think they had learned crosstalk. Their double-act performance completely mesmerized the young girl Qin Huairu.

When Qin Huairu thought about the possibility of marrying into the Jia family, working hard without complaint, and still being despised by Jia Zhang, she felt so aggrieved that tears welled up in her eyes. Didn't she just want to marry into the city and eat commercial grain? Why did people in the city bully people like this?

Zhang Xiulan saw that Qin Huairu was about to cry and said in fake anger.

"Old Yi, tell me, what are you doing? Look at Huairu, she is so aggrieved. Doesn't she just want to marry a city man? Are the city men the only ones from the Jia family?"

Qin Huairu felt even worse when she heard this. She had finally managed to marry a city worker with the help of Yi Zhonghai's introduction. She had a rural household registration, so it was good enough for her to marry just one. How could she still be picky?

What's more, Jia Dongxu looks good, but his family is full of troubles.

But she didn't say what was in her heart, she just lowered her head and wiped her tears.
