After leaving the Yi family, Qin Huairu felt more relaxed than ever before.

She walked back to the Jia family happily, but after taking a few steps, Qin Huairu stopped.

"I was so happy that I even forgot about this!"

Qin Huairu touched her belly and muttered to herself.

She is about to give birth and needs to stay in confinement. Who will take care of the whole family?

Are you not going to make the five dollars from the Yi family?

Jia Zhang? Qin Huairu rejected her without much thought.

"It seems like I have no choice but to ask Jingru to come over!"

With a sigh, Qin Huairu returned to the Jia family.

Jia Zhang was still sitting cross-legged on the kang, sewing the soles of shoes that she would never finish.

Banggeng went crazy somewhere, and Xiaodang stayed quietly beside Jia Zhang.

"Mom, I'm going to write a letter to my parents' home. When I give birth, please send a telegram to Qinjia Village and ask Jingru to come and take care of me for a while."

Qin Huairu said to Jia Zhang.

"Jingru? The cousin from your third uncle's family?"

Jia Zhang had also met Qin Jingru, but she was still a little girl at that time. The Jia family had a hard time in recent years, and Qin Huairu had less contact with her mother's family.

Life in the countryside was even more difficult, and Jia Zhangshi didn't want Qin Huairu's family to come and ask for money.

"Ok!"

After getting Qin Huairu's affirmation, Jia Zhang was a little hesitant.

The Jia family doesn’t even have enough food to eat now. If Qin Jingru comes along, how will they be able to survive?

But Qin Jingru didn't come, and she didn't want an old woman like her to serve Qin Huairu!

For a moment, Jia Zhang was in a dilemma.

"Huai Ru, our family doesn't have enough food.

How about you try to overcome it?"

It is impossible to take care of Qin Huairu, never in this life.

How can a rural woman be so delicate?

Jia Zhang felt disdainful in her heart.

There was a hint of loss in Qin Huairu's eyes, and she felt a little disappointed.

After marrying into the Jia family for so many years, Jia Zhang never fully accepted her.

Qin Huairu originally agreed to Yi Zhonghai's request, as she still felt a little guilty about the death of Jia Dongxu.

I have always used the excuse of doing it for the sake of my children to numb myself.

Now, Jia Zhang's reaction made Qin Huairu's guilt suddenly reduced.

"Mom, Jingru is already 16 years old this year, so it's a good opportunity for her to come over and meet Shazhu.

Hasn't Shazhu always wanted to get married? Jingru's appearance will definitely charm him.

Jingru is not even eighteen yet, so she can still hold back Shazhu for two more years.

Regardless of whether they can succeed or not, it will be good for our family."

Qin Huairu tried to persuade him earnestly.

Qin Huairu felt like she would lose half her life if she didn't take care of herself after giving birth and had to do so much housework every day.

Now that she finally had some hope for the future, she was reluctant to take any risks.

"But we don't have enough food."

Although Jia Zhang felt that what Qin Huairu said made sense, she still did not give in.

In her opinion, whether Qin Jingru came or not, it would not be her fault, because Qin Huairu would take care of it.

With one more Qin Jingru, there would be one more person to compete with her for food, which was absolutely unacceptable!

"Mom, Jingru coming here to take care of me is one thing, but meeting Shazhu is the main point.

Tell Shazhu about it when the time comes. With his temper, he will definitely not let Jingru go without food."

Qin Huairu argued with reason and insisted on getting Jia Zhang's agreement.

"Besides, Uncle Yi's family paid me to do the work. If I can't do the work, I will lose five dollars in income!"

Jia Zhang, who valued money more than her life, thought it made sense.

Five dollars is a lot of money, and she was reluctant to give it up.

"Okay! We'll take care of her accommodation, and try to find other ways to feed her."

Although Jia Zhang was relieved, this request was really too much.

They asked people to come and help, but not only did they not pay them, they were not even allowed to eat.

Qin Huairu frowned and felt a little unhappy.

After marrying into the city, Qin Huairu was so glorious in the eyes of her family.

Although the reality was cruel, her life was not good.

But if her cousin came to the city to take care of her during her confinement and couldn't even get a bite of food, how could Qin Huairu have the face to go back to her parents' home in the future! ?

However, Qin Huairu also knew that this was Jia Zhang's bottom line.

After thinking about it, I finally decided not to refute it.

I can only suffer as a tool.

When the time comes, let him work harder and bring some food back from the factory for Qin Jingru at noon.

If I give Jingru two or three yuan as service fee, there should be no problem, right?

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's eyes lit up.

Why didn’t I think of asking Sha Zhu to deliver lunch to the Jia family at noon?

Factory meals are subsidized, saving both money and trouble.

As for whether it is not good to trouble the silly man, Qin Huairu never thought about it. Who would care about the feelings of the old ox?

"understood!"

Qin Huairu was in a good mood after figuring everything out, and was too lazy to argue with Jia Zhang anymore.

"Mom, do you think we can save some money if we let Sha Zhu bring us lunch at noon?"

Although she already had an idea in her mind, Qin Huairu didn't dare to hide it from Jia Zhangshi and act on her own.

"Why don't you go and ask?"

Although the food in the factory is not much better than that at home, it is cooked for workers after all, so it is more oily and greasy.

The factory will also provide some subsidies, which makes it cheaper than buying it yourself.

Jia Zhang agreed with Qin Huairu's opinion without thinking.

"It's better to let Shazhu pay!"

Jia Zhang added greedily.

The factory’s meal tickets also had to be exchanged for grain coupons, and vegetable coupons had to be purchased with money.

If I could get Sha Zhu to pay for lunch, I would make a lot of money.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and secretly cursed the old woman for being greedy.

Shazhu was just a little stunned, but he was not really stupid.

It would be strange if people agreed to such an outrageous request.

As for why he was confident in convincing Sha Zhu to deliver meals to Qin Jingru, it was because Qin Jingru might become Sha Zhu's wife in the future.

Despite Sha Zhu's anxious look, Qin Huairu was still somewhat confident.

"try your best!"

Qin Huairu replied helplessly.

Only then did Jia Zhang feel satisfied and continued to work on her shoe-making business.

Qin Huairu went to Shazhu's house without stopping.

"Zhu Zi, are you drinking again?"

Sha Zhu has nothing to do after work, so he likes to drink a little wine by himself.

"Sister Qin, what's the matter?"

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu, he quickly stood up and helped her sit down, being very considerate.

It’s a pity that mature face doesn’t arouse Qin Huairu’s sexual interest at all.

"Zhu Zi, I'm about to give birth, so it's not convenient for me to do housework.

I would like to trouble you to deliver a meal to my house at noon?

Don't worry, I'll give you a meal ticket, but it will be a bit tiring for you to make an extra trip!"

Qin Huairu was very pleased with Sha Zhu's gentlemanliness.

"Well... there are a lot of things to do in the cafeteria at noon, I may not have much time!"

Sha Zhu was a little hesitant, with a look of rejection on his face.

Cooking is a very physically demanding activity and one is exhausted after finishing a big pot of food.

At noon, I also have to keep an eye on the kitchen helpers serving the food, which is a lot of work.

"Zhu Zi, I know this request is a bit excessive.

But I can’t help it, I just can’t do it any more.”

Qin Huairu's eyes turned red and she held Sha Zhu's hands excitedly.

Sha Zhu's body froze instantly and his face turned slightly red.

"Sister Qin...Isn't Aunt Jia at home?"

Although Sha Zhu was caught off guard by Qin Huairu, he did not agree immediately.

"Hey, you know what my mother-in-law is like!"

Qin Huairu's face was full of bitterness, but she wasn't pretending.

Since Jia Zhang became a mother-in-law, most of the household affairs have been left to Qin Huairu.

Otherwise, how would you get all this fat?

After Jia Dongxu passed away, Jia Zhang became even more aggressive, using all sorts of methods to torture her, making her feel a little breathless.

"Oh, it's really hard for you, Sister Qin!"

Sha Zhu also felt a little sympathy for Qin Huairu's situation and secretly cursed Jia Zhang for being a good-for-nothing!

But this is the Jia family's family affair, and no matter how much Sha Zhu feels sorry for Qin Huairu, there is nothing he can do.

"Zhu Zi, after I give birth, I will ask my cousin to take care of me during the confinement period. You two can meet each other then."

Qin Huairu quickly adjusted her mood and turned to talk about Qin Jingru.

"Really?"

Sha Zhu's eyes lit up and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

He had heard from Qin Huairu that her cousin was beautiful and capable, and he had fantasized about her several times.

"I will write a letter to my parents tomorrow.

But my mother-in-law was a little unhappy because she was worried that there wouldn’t be enough food at home.”

Qin Huairu pushed Jia Zhang out again.

"Aunt Jia is so stingy!

Don't worry, Sister Qin, just let her come. As long as I, He Yuzhu, like her, I will pay for her meals!"

Sha Zhu patted his chest and promised without thinking.

There was one more thing Sha Zhu didn't say in his mind: If I don't like her, tell her to get out.

“I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!

Besides, my cousin is from the countryside, so she doesn’t have too many requirements for what she eats, as long as she can be full.”

Qin Huairu's words immediately poured a bucket of cold water on Sha Zhu, and he finally reacted.

There is no ration for rural people, I don’t know if he can cover it!

But the words have been spoken, so let's meet the person first and then talk about it.

If it was really as Qin Huairu described, Sha Zhu would accept it.

"Let's meet first and talk later!"

Sha Zhu replied dryly.

"Well, Zhuzi, can you run to the yard at noon?"

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu eagerly, with a look of anticipation on her face.

"Hey, okay!"

Sha Zhu was defeated by Qin Huairu's gaze and finally agreed.

"Thank you, Pillar!

You are such a good person! "

Qin Huairu expressed her gratitude sincerely, and then shyly withdrew her hands.

Sha Zhu's hands were empty, and a sense of loss flashed through his heart for no reason.

Sister Qin's hands are so slippery, it's a pity to screw them in!

"I'll bring you the meal ticket after dinner."

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Qin Huairu stood up and said goodbye.

As for getting something for free, Qin Huairu had no plans to do so this time.

It was already very reluctant for Sha Zhu to agree to deliver the meal, and if he wanted others to pay for it, that would definitely not be possible.

It's not worth it to annoy him.

You must understand the importance of taking things slow and steady!

"it is good!"

Sha Zhu reluctantly sent Qin Huairu out of the house.

He watched her enter the Jia family before returning home.
