Mother Qin said, "Hey, how can this be possible! You are in confinement, you should eat more!"

Qin Huairu bit her lip, "But mother..."

"That's enough. I know my limits. I'm in good health, so it's okay. You just need to eat more."

Only after Qin's mother said this did Qin Huairu nod.

But I still feel very guilty.

She knew that this must be what Jia Zhangshi wanted. Jia Zhangshi, that old and pious woman, might not even want to send her food.

Why is he willing to deliver food to his mother?

Qin Huairu became even more dissatisfied with Jia Zhang.

Although Qin's mother comforted Qin Huairu verbally, she was also very dissatisfied with Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu.

Especially Jia Dongxu.

Although I know that this must be mostly Jia Zhang's intention.

But Jia Dongxu is a man after all, Qin Huairu's husband and his own son-in-law. Can't he think for himself?

What a disappointment!

……

As for Jia Dongxu, he hurried back to the courtyard and saw Jia Zhang looking around.

"You're finally back, Dongxu. Why did you come so late?" Jia Zhang complained a few words. They almost couldn't eat the best food.

Jia Dongxu complained: "Mom, please bring some food to my mother-in-law next time. She's eating dry food next to me, and I feel a little embarrassed."

Jia Zhang grumbled, "What are you sending? They are not from our Jia family. Why waste this little food?"

"But..." Jia Dongxu said, "My mother-in-law already dislikes me!"

Jia Zhang glared at him, "What! I don't like you, just wait and see how I'll punish you later..."

"Mom!" Jia Dongxu interrupted Jia Zhangshi, and Jia Zhangshi stopped talking in anger.

"Okay, okay, let's go to the banquet first." said Jia Zhang.

There was a feast to be had, so Jia Dongxu didn't bother to think about it anymore and quickly followed them over.

Normally, when there was a banquet in Siheyuan, Yan Bugui would be asked to keep the accounts. After all, he was a teacher and had a relatively high level of education in Siheyuan, so keeping the accounts was no problem for him.

Besides, he keeps accounts and is a worker, so if you give less gifts to someone, or if someone is more generous, they will not accept his gifts.

So Yan Bugui is still quite happy to do this job.

But this time Yan Bugui had to host the banquet himself and entertain the guests, so he naturally couldn't do the account keeping.

So Yan Jiecheng was asked to take over. Yan Jiecheng naturally couldn't let his father down.

He was sitting at the door looking quite serious, holding a brush in his hand and writing all over the paper.

Here, Jia Zhang brought Jia Dongxu and Banggeng over, threw down a paper bag and was about to go in.

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, Aunt Jia, wait a moment."

Yan Jiecheng quickly opened the paper package and counted carefully, "Two cents, okay, it's okay, go in."

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he waved his hand and let a few people go in, but his expression was not very good.

He spoke loudly, and many people around him were laughing. They suddenly heard Yan Jiecheng's voice and turned to look at him.

"Who is it? Two cents!"

"They are from the Jia family. They brought their families to eat and paid two cents for the food! They must be making a fortune from this!"

"Yes, Jie Cheng, check to see if you have given us the food coupons, otherwise your family will suffer huge losses."

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he quickly looked at the paper bag carefully again and found that there were no food coupons.

Since the ticket era began, everyone has to rely on these small tickets to buy anything.

The same goes for buying rice, which all require food coupons. For those who have jobs, their work units basically give them a certain number of food coupons every month.

As for those who are unemployed but have urban household registration, they are issued food coupons by the street office.

Depends on population.

The Yan family spent a lot of food coupons on this wedding banquet, which also means that they may not have enough food coupons to live on this month.

Therefore, people who usually attend banquets nowadays are required to bring food coupons and gift money.

The gift money is a gift that comes with the gift, and the food coupons are subsidies given back to you. After all, you have eaten at someone else's house, so it is normal to give some back.

This is also a default rule.

Yan Jiecheng had seen the food coupons before, so he assumed that everyone who came to the banquet would be given food coupons, so he didn't pay much attention.

Fortunately, someone reminded me.

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly said to Jia Zhang: "Aunt Jia, the three of you are here to eat. The little kid doesn't count. You and Brother Dongxu need to give three taels of food coupons each."

Jia Zhang was immediately furious and said sarcastically, "You invited people to the banquet, why are you collecting food coupons?"

"And what's your attitude? You invited us here! Now you're stopping us. What are you doing?"

As usual, Jia Zhang began to make unreasonable demands.

Yan Jiecheng was young after all, and had not experienced any major hardships. When Jia Zhang acted like this, Yan Jiecheng was a little at a loss.

His face flushed, and he looked at Jia Zhang and said, "But Aunt Jia, this is all agreed upon. Everyone who comes to the banquet must give food coupons, otherwise our family will not have enough food coupons this month!"

Jia Zhang is just a shrew, why would she care so much?

She immediately rebuked him, "I don't care if you guys are good enough! You guys wanted to host the banquet, do you want me to pay for anything?"

"I'm lucky enough to be able to give you a gift! How dare you stop me? Is your tutor supposed to stop guests?"

Yan Jiecheng's ears turned red after hearing what Jia Zhang said, and he didn't know how to refute.

Jia Zhang turned her nose up, snorted lightly, and was about to walk inside.

Many neighbors saw this scene and pointed and talked about it.

"This Jia Zhang is really too shameless. She made Xie Cheng blush..."

"Xie Cheng is young, how could he have experienced such a thing!"

"If you ask me, who would be willing to invite Jia Zhang to a banquet without giving her food coupons? She's probably the only one!"

"You even brought two people with you. How shameless you really are!"

"Oh my god, stop it, she'll come over and spit on us soon!"

Everyone disliked Jia Zhang, but no one stood up for Yan Jiecheng.

After all, this is the Yan family's business. They are just here to attend the banquet and it is none of their business to take care of anything else.

Besides, if they got involved in Jia Zhang's affairs, wouldn't Jia Zhang hold a grudge against them?

They didn't want to do that. Jia Zhang was too difficult to deal with. They didn't know when she would do something like that to them, and they couldn't bear it.

So, everyone was talking about it, but no one stood up for Yan Jiecheng.

Just when Yan Jiecheng was at a loss, Yu Li came over with Yu Haitang. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Jiecheng, what's going on?"
