Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes by the sink, also heard Xu Damao's words. In an instant, countless thoughts flooded her mind. He was young, more handsome than Dongxu, had a good job, and was the only sister in the family who had a job. Unconsciously, she compared Sha Zhu and Li Kangri in her heart.

"Shazhu, Li Kangri, it would be great if both of them could help my family. Forget it, let's pull Shazhu over first. From now on, all his lunch boxes must be given to my Jia family, as well as his salary. He is a bachelor, and if he is full, the whole family will not be hungry. My two children are at the age of growing up, and there is also this baby in my belly!"

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu touched her belly and looked towards the door of Sha Zhu's house. At this time, Sha Zhu was sitting at home resting!

He was in so much pain today that his waist hurt whenever he stood up, so he asked Yi Zhonghai to ask for a leave of absence.

He had also heard what Xu Damao said just now. Especially when he heard that Li Kangri's sister went to work at Hongbinlou, he was moved. "She's a little cook, a cook like me. She looks so pretty. It would be great if I could marry her home as my wife. We could learn cooking skills from time to time!" Sha Zhu thought to himself.

Just when Sha Zhu was daydreaming, Li Kangri and Qinghe appeared in the middle courtyard. Hearing the noise, Sha Zhu quickly looked over through the door.

Through the doorway, two green figures appeared in front of him, especially Li Qinghe's beautiful figure, which was deeply imprinted in his mind, "So beautiful, much prettier than Sister Qin, but Sister Qin is not much worse, with those dimples and that big belly, hehehe..." Thinking of this, Shazhu drooled all over the floor.

Seeing Li Kangri and his sister enter the backyard, an old lady in the crowd immediately went home to report.

"Boss, Xu Damao just said that Xiao Li is the deputy chief of the security department of your steel rolling mill, and his sister also has a job. She works where Zhuzi used to learn cooking!" As soon as she entered the door, the aunt started reporting to Yi Zhonghai.

"Oh! It's confirmed now. I didn't believe it when I heard the news today! What good conditions! If only he could be more obedient and easier to control." Yi Zhonghai sighed.

"Oh, don't think about it now. Wait until you understand his character. Look, he hit the pillar yesterday and couldn't go to work." An aunt complained.

"You're right. We should win over Zhuzi first. He is our only hope now. What do you think about bringing Zhuzi and Huairu together?" Yi Zhonghai suddenly asked.

"Why?" an old lady asked puzzledly.

"I think Huairu is good. If Zhuzi marries Huairu, first of all, we don't have to worry about the Jia family's future. Also, based on my understanding of Huairu, she will not fail to provide for us in our old age. This is a win-win situation. I don't want Zhuzi to find a wife we ​​are not familiar with, because then our future will be unsecured." Yi Zhonghai analyzed.

"Then is Zhuzi willing? Including the baby in her belly, Huairu has three children! And a mother-in-law. Is Zhuzi willing?" said an aunt.

"This is not his call. He has to do it even if he wants to. Besides, Zhuzi probably thinks the same way. Haven't you noticed the way he looks at Huairu? See how happy he is that Dongxu is dead?" Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"That's true, but it's not easy to get past the sister-in-law of the Jia family. Didn't you see that she insisted on Huairu wearing mourning clothes? She's afraid that Huairu will remarry!" Auntie raised another question.

"Hey, this is easy to deal with. Jia's sister-in-law is just afraid that Huairu will remarry and no one will take care of her. As long as Zhuzi agrees to take care of her, the problem can be solved."

"You are the one who is in charge of the family. You have to calculate everyone's situation clearly. Please sit down first. I will go to cook for you." The aunt said with a smile.

……

At the Jia family, Qin Huairu also prepared dinner. Looking at the steamed bread and pickles on the table, Jia Zhang was the first to express her family's dissatisfaction, "Huairu, you can't eat like this every day. We two adults don't mind, but Banggeng is in the growth stage, you have to think of a way."

"Mom, what can I do? I asked you to take out some of Dongxu's compensation, but you were unwilling to do so. What do you want me to do in my current situation?" Qin Huairu complained.

"Mom knows it's difficult for you, but no matter how hard it is, you can't make things difficult for your child! Besides, the compensation money from Dongxu is what I left for Banggeng to marry a wife. You can't touch it even if you kill yourself." Jia Zhang said.

"What about the donation that day? It was more than 80 yuan. What's the point of you only giving me 10 yuan?" Qin Huairu said dissatisfiedly.

"You! How many months do you have left before you can go back to work? Are you going to survive if you don't save money? In my opinion, you should go talk to Sha Zhu and ask him to bring us a few lunch boxes every day, especially those with meat. You must bring them back." Jia Zhang suggested.

"Haha, you're dreaming. Why should they give it to my family?" Qin Huairu sneered.

"Don't pretend. I don't believe you can't see how Shazhu feels about you. I think he is the happiest one after Dongxu left! You have to be careful. You have to bring the lunch box, but you have to know the limits. Don't let my son down." Jia Zhang said.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?" Qin Huairu said with a roll of her eyes.

"It's not the best. And after you give birth, you can get me the IUD. That way it's safer."

"Ah? Why would I, a widow, get an IUD?" Qin Huairu screamed in surprise.

In fact, she also had this idea. She thought it was okay to remarry, but she didn't want to have another child. What if the father of the child was not good to the children now? She didn't want to do that.

"It's safer to get an IUD. That's the decision." Jia Zhang said.

"Mom, meat, I smell meat, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat." Banggeng suddenly said, sniffing his nose.

"Hmm, it really smells like meat. Which family is cooking the meat? They don't even know to send some to us, an orphan and a widow. Can you go out and see which family it is?" Jia Zhang said to Qin Huairu.

"Mom, don't think about it. It was Xu Damao. I saw Xu Damao bringing meat here today, and he also went to the new Li family in the backyard. It seems like they are living together now." Qin Huairu said.

"It's that dead family Xu Damao! And there's also that new family that has no descendants. They didn't even donate a single penny. I curse his family to be extinct." Jia Zhang cursed.

"Mom, haven't you heard? He is now the deputy chief of the security department of the steel mill. Even his sister has a job. Don't mess with him."

"Deputy Section Chief? That little bitch also has a job? God is really blind, bah!" Jia Zhang cursed.

"Mom, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat." Banggeng shouted again.

"Banggeng, be obedient. When your silly uncle goes to work in a few days, I'll ask him to bring you meat, okay?" Qin Huairu touched Banggeng's head and comforted him.

"Really?" Bang Geng said happily.

"Really? How could mom lie to you!" Qin Huairu said with a smile.
