Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

Xiaodang hadn't seen his mother for a day and a night, and was somewhat clinging to Qin Huairu.

No matter what Qin Huairu did, she followed behind Qin Huairu like a little tail.

"Mom, eat..."

Xiaodang, who was almost two years old, could only speak a few simple words. He held some food in his hand and put it into Qin Huairu's mouth.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu was deeply touched and tears welled up in her eyes. Looking at such a sensible and well-behaved daughter, Qin Huairu instantly felt that everything was worth it.

"Xiaodang is so good. Mommy won't eat it, so you eat it."

Putting Xiaodang on a stool beside her, Qin Huairu thought about the current predicament of her family, gritted her teeth, and finally spoke:

"Auntie, I want to discuss something with you."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Seeing Qin Huairu's embarrassed look, the aunt smiled and comforted her.

"Can you lend me another ten dollars? No, five dollars will do."

Qin Huairu actually didn't know how to start the conversation. After all, Yi Zhonghai gave her mother-in-law twenty yuan last night, but this money was far from enough:

"Last night, an old man lent us twenty yuan, which we used to pay for Dongxu's medical expenses..."

"How much is the additional medical expenses?"

The aunt subconsciously asked, yesterday there was not only the twenty yuan given by Lao Yi, but also the eleven yuan given by Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong, could it be that all of it was used to pay for the medical expenses? !

"Nineteen dollars, one dollar left, but Dongxu and Banggeng are both in the hospital now, and they need some delicious food to replenish their bodies."

“Isn’t this right?!

It's true that your uncle gave your mother-in-law 20 yuan last night, but Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong also gave 11 yuan. Didn't your mother-in-law tell you?"

The lady quickly explained, it was only a dozen yuan, could it be that Jia Zhang wanted to keep it all for herself? !

If that's the case, then what's the point of Lao Yi helping the Jia family? !

You can't just keep plucking the wool from them, right? !

"what?"

Now it was Qin Huairu's turn to be surprised. She had never heard Jia Zhang talk about this matter at all.

"How do Xu Damao and Second Master give money to mother-in-law?"

Seeing that Qin Huairu really didn't know the situation, the aunt hurriedly explained it.

"Huai Ru, I didn't say anything bad.

Although the relationship between our two families is closer than that between others, if you are really in trouble, Lao Yi and I will definitely help.

But in this situation, your mother-in-law still has more than ten yuan in her hand, and now she comes to us to borrow money..."

The lady almost said it more bluntly, and Qin Huairu felt embarrassed after hearing it:

"I'm sorry, Auntie, my mother-in-law didn't tell me this, and I don't know about it..."

"Well, I understand. This is also my sister-in-law's fault. We are all family, but she is still hiding things."

"Auntie, I'll have to trouble you to continue taking care of Xiaodang. I'm going back to the hospital first."

Qin Huairu returned to the hospital with a lot on her mind. Seeing Jia Zhang and Bang Geng squeezed on a bed, she closed her eyes with peace of mind and took a deep breath:

"Mom, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Having her sweet dream disturbed, Jia Zhang looked a little unhappy.

"Is this really the only dollar left in our family?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?

Could I still lie to you?!"

Jia Zhang said without any hesitation. As for the little thoughts in her mind, probably only she knew them.

"But when I returned to Siheyuan today, I heard about the general meeting of all employees held last night. Xu Damao, in particular, treated me very badly."

Qin Huairu's words made Jia Zhang sit up, with a trace of panic in her eyes:

"That eleven dollars is what I saved for our New Year celebrations, what's wrong with that?

Do you suspect that I embezzled the money? "

Without giving Qin Huairu a chance to speak, Jia Zhang continued:

"Oh my God, I work so hard for this family, but I still have to face suspicion from my daughter-in-law. Why is my life so miserable?!

If you doubt me so much, then I will give you the money, and you will be the head of this family from now on!"

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Jia Dongxu. In her mind, as long as she howled like this, Jia Dongxu would definitely stand on her side.

Who would have thought that after she finished speaking, Jia Dongxu actually spoke, but the words he said almost made her breathless.

"Then give the money to Huairu. I think it's better to let her manage the household."

Jia Dongxu said coldly that ever since his leg was broken, Jia Zhang's actions had made him very disappointed.

If Qin Huairu had not gone back this time, they would probably still be kept in the dark. Who could have thought that their own mother would secretly hide some money behind their backs and even said with certainty that the family had no money and asked them to save some.

Doesn't this family still rely on him? !

If it weren't for him, the whole family would have broken up long ago.

Although he really wanted to be of the same mind as Jia Zhang, he now hoped that he could eat and drink well and that his legs would get better soon, so that he could go to work and earn money as soon as possible.

Instead of being like Jia Zhang, who is always stingy and even fusses about eating a steamed bun.

"Dong, Dongxu..."

Jia Zhang opened her mouth wide, came to her senses, and was speechless.

"Mom, you've been taking care of the family all these years, and you're tired.

From now on, let Huairu take care of the household and take a good rest."

Jia Dongxu didn't say too much, but his attitude was very firm.

He cannot just see the immediate benefits, he must consider the long-term interests.

Although they can still rely on Yi Zhonghai now, this may not be the case over time.

"Give the eleven dollars Xu Damao and the others gave you yesterday, as well as the money you have secretly saved over the years, to Qin Huairu."

This sentence shut Jia Zhang up. She was stunned for a long time before she took out a dollar from her pocket:

"Since you all despise me, let Qin Huairu be the head of this family from now on.

I left the eleven dollars at home and will give it to you when I get home.

As for saving money, there are so many people in our family, where can I save money? ! "

Jia Zhang refused to admit that she had any private money. She would not be so foolish as to take out all the money. People’s hearts are hidden.

Jia Dongxu was already fascinated by Qin Huairu, so how could she not leave some time for him to get old? !

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi had given in, Jia Dongxu didn't say anything more. However, Qin Huairu felt a little uncomfortable.

How can she be the boss with only eleven dollars?!

But on the other hand, it is also good. At least she can have the final say in this family from now on, right? !

Seeing Qin Huairu accept the dollar, Jia Zhang curled her lips.

Do you really think being a family boss is easy?!
