Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

A week later, He Yuzhu returned from a business trip to Northeast China, bringing back many specialties from Northeast China: pine nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, dried mushrooms, bacon, and two bags of rice.

He Yuzhu, who dotes on his wife, also bought two fox skins for his wife, so that he could make her a hat and a scarf, which would be very warm in winter. He also bought two sheep skins for his wife, so that she could make a fur coat.

He said to his wife, "Huizhen, you don't know how cheap the dried fruits in the Northeast are. They are half the price here, and you don't need a ticket. I bought the bacon and rice on the black market, which was also very cost-effective. You know, the Northeast is really a good place. As long as the people there are diligent, at least they will have enough food. I heard that there are plenty of wild animals and dried fruits in the mountains. When you drive on the road, you can see rabbits on the roadside. Although we brought guns this time, we didn't dare to go into the mountains because we were unfamiliar with the place."

Xu Huizhen sighed in her heart, if she had the chance to go, it would be great, she would have space, could buy more food, and transportation would be convenient. But he was breastfeeding now, so it was inconvenient for him to go out. There would be a chance in the future.

Next, Xu Huizhen had to plan to drive Jia Zhang out of the courtyard. For the system's reward, she also fought hard.

In the evening, he and He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard carrying large and small bags of things, including chestnuts, pine nuts and other dried fruits brought back from the Northeast, as well as salted fish and bacon.

He Yuzhu asked curiously, "Why do you take so many things? We don't usually eat in the courtyard."

Xu Huizhen: "I had a quarrel with Jia Zhang a few days ago, and the neighbors all spoke up for me. I want to thank them in some way."

He Yuzhu: "That old thing is always making trouble. Do you want to think of a way to drive her back to the countryside?"

Xu Huizhen was secretly happy. This Zhu was really a worm in my stomach. He knew everything I was thinking. So she said, "Is this okay?"

He Yuzhu: "What's wrong with that? She's just a troublemaker in the yard. Only when she's gone can we live in peace!"

After entering the courtyard, the first person she saw was the third uncle, and Xu Huizhen enthusiastically gave him some dried fruits.

He Yuzhu explained: "I brought this back from my business trip to the Northeast. Let the Third Master have a taste."

The third uncle smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits, and said, "Zhu Zi is still generous. Thank you both."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, the people who were originally at home hurried out, and many neighbors suddenly appeared in the yard.

Xu Huizhen distributed some dried fruits or salted fish to every family, and everyone got a share. Qin Huairu also came up and said with a smile on her face: "Zhu Zi, give some to Sister Qin. Sister Qin thanks you."

He Yuzhu said: "You Jia family took advantage of my absence to bully my wife, and you want to eat my food? There is no door or window."

Qin Huairu's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, which was very embarrassing. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and changed her expression immediately, saying sincerely: "Zhuzi, my mother-in-law is just like that, don't bother with her, you also know how difficult my family is, just give Banggeng some dried fruits. The child is innocent." Then she went to pull He Yuzhu.

When Xu Huizhen saw this green tea bitch flirting with her man in front of her, she wanted to slap this white lotus in the face when she saw the original plot. However, she is a person of quality, and her character cannot collapse.

So, she shouted at the Jia family, "Jia Dongxu, get out here. Take care of your wife. You're flirting with another man in broad daylight. Do you want to cheat on yourself?"

This shout made Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu come out. Jia Dongxu looked unhappy. In fact, she had been paying attention to the movements in the yard at home, and he also saw what Qin Huairu did. He originally wanted to take advantage of Qin Huairu, but when someone said it so bluntly, he couldn't hold his face.

Qin Huairu also stopped her actions at this time and quickly moved away from He Yuzhu to avoid suspicion.

Xu Huizhen was at full fire: "Qin Huairu, don't you know the difference between men and women? Do you think I, Xu Huizhen, am dead? Your Jia family is so poor that you can't even afford to eat, and you let a woman come out to flirt with you? The atmosphere of the courtyard has been corrupted by your family. Believe it or not, I will report to the neighborhood committee tomorrow and make your family's actions public?"

Qin Huairu quickly explained: "I didn't. I just saw you guys distributing dried fruits to everyone, and I wanted to give some to Banggeng and Xiaodang. These two kids are pitiful..."

Xu Huizhen was disgusted by her pitiful appearance and interrupted her performance, saying, "I have some too. I got all the other houses. Why don't you come to me to get them, but go to my man instead? Do you think you are beautiful and men should spoil you, right?"

Qin Huairu: "You, you! You are slandering me! I didn't, I am not!"

Xu Huizhen: "Remember this, this is my man. From now on, stay three meters away from my man, otherwise, I will slap you in the face."

Seeing that Qin Huairu was no match for her, Jia Zhang couldn't stand it any longer. In any case, their family would prosper together and suffer together.

She yelled, "Xu Huizhen, you are talking nonsense. There are so many people watching in the yard. What can she do? Don't even think about throwing dirty water on our Jia family!"

Xu Huizhen snorted disdainfully and said, "What can she do? She can use that face to buy delicious food! Don't think I don't know that before I married into the family, Qin Huairu took advantage of me a lot and ate a lot of lunch boxes, right?"

Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu fell silent. Their family had eaten He Yuzhu's lunch box before, but that was all in the past.

He Yuzhu had to stand on the same side as his wife at this time. He said: "Everyone can testify that a few days ago when my wife was not at home, Qin Huairu ran to my house, holding my arm and crying. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and ran into the yard. Everyone in the yard knew about it. Qin Huairu wanted to take advantage of me because I was tall and mighty. But, wife, I only have you in my heart, you have to believe in my friendship. In my eyes, she is just an old sow that gave birth to 18 litters."

For a while, the crowd was talking about it, and most of them were on He Yuzhu's side, because you should be grateful if you eat someone's food, and you should be grateful if you take someone's gifts. You just received a gift from someone, so you can't turn your face and ignore it.

Qin Huairu wanted to argue, but she couldn't. She covered her face, sobbed and ran back home.

Yi Zhonghai, a professional at smoothing things over, appeared again at this time. He scolded: "Alright, alright, Zhuzi, we all live in the same yard, we will see each other sooner or later, don't say such harsh words. Leave a way out for us to meet again in the future. Everyone, go away, go away."

The next morning, He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen began to set up the venue. According to He Yuzhu's dream, Banggeng often came to his house to eat secretly, and Jia Zhangshi was Banggeng's behind-the-scenes strategist.

After what happened yesterday, Jia Zhang knew that she had a lot of delicious food at home, and that all the neighbors had received some, except for her family. Given Jia Zhang's greedy and gluttonous personality, she might just take it without asking.

He wants to be like Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who are willing will take the bait.

Before leaving, Xu Huizhen took a salted fish and gave it to the third aunt, saying, "Third aunt, please pay attention to my family today. You don't have to worry about anything that happens. Just tell me when you come back." After that, she handed over a fish as a reward. The third aunt took the fish with a smile and promised, "Don't worry, I'll let my sister keep a close eye on it."
