"Okay, auntie, I'll come back to play with you in the evening." Xiao Dang said with a smile: "Auntie, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Yes, here are some stewed pork and steamed buns I bought. We'll eat them together when you come back tonight." Qin Jingru said with a smile, "Goodbye, Xiaodang."

"Okay, goodbye, auntie." Xiaodang waved to Qin Jingru while holding three White Rabbit candies. Qin Huairu looked at this scene and felt envious.

Qin Huairu hoped to have more contact with Qin Jingru through Xiaodang and enhance their relationship, but she didn't expect that Qin Jingru seemed to have noticed it already.

Yi Zhonghai put Xiaodang on the front bar of the bicycle and slowly pushed him out the door, while Qin Huairu followed behind with Huaihua in her arms.

As soon as she reached the door, she happened to meet Jia Zhangshi, who was carrying a big bowl of stewed meat home—no, it should be Lu Zhangshi. She glanced at Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, rolled her eyes in contempt, muttered something, and then staggered towards the yard.

Mrs. Lu Zhang had just had a full meal at the stewed pork shop, and now she prepared another portion for Old Man Lu. After watching Old Man Lu finish eating, they went out together to the market, intending to ask Old Man Lu to buy some meat for her, while Old Man Lu himself was going to recycle waste materials.

Mrs. Lu sat on the tattered tricycle of Old Man Lu. The tricycle creaked under her weight, and Old Man Lu had a hard time pedaling. All the way, Mrs. Lu kept talking.

"Old man, would you like to give me the money? That way you don't have to go through so much trouble to make two trips." Jia Zhang suggested, "I will manage our money from now on, okay?"

"You better be quiet." Old Man Lu replied angrily, "Give you the money? Humph, if I ask you to buy vegetables, you will just pick up the leftover leaves."

"What about you? You only think about saving money when eating something good, and as a result, even I can only eat the tasteless old vegetable stems. Now listen to me and don't try any crooked tricks on me."

These words made Jia Zhang's eyes widen. She wanted to argue but couldn't find the words to refute. Old Man Lu was right. He knew her very well.

While the two were arguing, a truck suddenly rushed over at too high a speed, and the driver had obviously lost control. Logically, if Old Man Lu had dodged quickly, he might have been able to avoid the accident. But the truck was carrying a heavy Jia Zhang, so even if Old Man Lu wanted to go faster, he couldn't.

When Jia Zhang saw the car was about to hit her, she jumped off the car in a hurry. Due to her body inertia, she instinctively pushed the car. It was this sudden push that got Old Man Lu caught under the wheels. He let out a painful cry and then fell silent. At this time, the truck finally stopped.

Lying on the ground, Jia Zhang stared at the bloodstains spreading on the ground, and realized that Old Man Lu was really finished. "Hey, old man, why... did you just leave like this!"

Then she immediately rolled on the ground, sobbing, her cry was mournful and moving.

Jia Zhang knew exactly how to gain sympathy. It seemed like she was born with this skill and could use it with ease without much thought.

Jia Zhang cried and rolled over, but she was secretly happy in her heart, because old man Lu was dead, and the money and the house would be hers in the future. Moreover, now that she had her own house, no one could drive her back to the countryside.

"By the way, how much compensation should I pay for this?" Jia Zhang was calculating in her mind.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Zhang returned to the gate of the courtyard with an unconcealable smile on her face.

Old man Lu has been buried. The expenses were all paid by the water bottle factory, and the truck also belonged to the factory. The water bottle factory also gave Jia Zhangshi 600 yuan as compensation, and gave her an additional 100 yuan as consolation money. This 100 yuan was obtained by Jia Zhangshi from Old Lu. In addition, she was also given some meat coupons, cloth coupons and grain coupons.

At first, Jia Zhang was calling him "Old Jia", but she immediately realized that she was wrong and quickly changed it to "Old Lu".

"Oh, I have to buy some food." Jia Zhang turned around and went to the stewed food shop on the street, bought a piece of fatty pork head, and walked back with it in her hand. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the compound, she saw Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu coming back.

"Pooh!" Jia Zhang spat again.

"Mrs. Jia Zhang, you are really capable." Zhang Yuxiang came out, "Old Lu just died, and you can eat this kind of thing? Is this pig head meat?"

Zhang Yuxiang stared at the dried lotus leaf package in Jia Zhang's hand.

"What's wrong with me eating something good?" Jia Zhang said with her head held high.

"Hey, old man Lu just passed away, and you're already enjoying yourself..." Zhang Yuxiang's face was full of contempt. At this time, Liu Haizhong also walked to the gate of the courtyard panting.

"You...how do you know that Old Man Lu is dead?" Jia Zhang shouted in surprise.

"Everyone on our street knows you now," Zhang Yuxiang said. "You, the Jia Zhang family, are really famous."

"I'm famous? Famous for what?" Jia Zhang asked puzzledly.

"You first married Lao Jia, but Lao Jia died; you lived with Jia Dongxu, but Jia Dongxu died; and finally you relied on Gun'er, but Gun'er became useless." Zhang Yuxiang said, "You just remarried Lao Lu for a few days, and Lao Lu died! Tsk tsk... just think about what others will say about you!"

"You're talking nonsense, I'm not like that..." Jia Zhang shouted loudly.

"No one said that to you. I didn't say that." Zhang Yuxiang shook her head. "Come on, let's go home." Liu Haizhong said with a big belly, "Is the meal ready?"

"It's ready and on the table, waiting for you to come back for dinner. But it's bad because Liu Guangfu is at home and he might steal the eggs." After saying that, Zhang Yuxiang quickly turned around and ran back.

"Don't go, Zhang Yuxiang, don't go! If you bully me, you will become a widow, and people will say that..." Jia Zhang roared angrily.

"Go to hell, you dare to curse me!" Liu Haizhong stretched out his hand and slapped Jia Zhang twice, "I'm going to beat you to death!" The two slaps made Jia Zhang fall to the ground. Liu Haizhong spitted and turned away.

"Old Jia...someone is bullying me..." Jia Zhang was about to summon the soul, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt something was wrong. "Jia Zhang, get out of here and don't get in the way of us going home." Yi Zhonghai said contemptuously.

Jia Zhang sat on the ground, hugging tightly the thing wrapped in dry lotus leaves.

"Jia Zhang... No, you're Lu Zhang! You always said I was a jinx." Qin Huairu stared at Jia Zhang and said, "Now you should know who the real jinx is, right?"

"You have ruined three generations of male descendants in the Jia family, and you still don't admit that you are a jinx?"

"You've only been living with Old Lu for a few days, and he's already killed you."

"Who do you think is the unlucky star? It's so pitiful. The Jia family has no descendants because of you. When you are in your next life, the ghosts of the Jia family will definitely tear you to pieces."

Jia Zhang had just stood up from the ground, and after hearing Qin Huairu's words, she shuddered involuntarily and sat back on the ground. But she still held the dried lotus leaf bag tightly in her arms.

"It's not me. It really has nothing to do with me. The deaths of Lao Jia and Dong Xu have nothing to do with me." Jia Zhang shook her head vigorously and said, "Even the Banggeng incident has nothing to do with me."

"At that time, Jia only suffered a waist injury, which made his lower body unable to move." Yi Zhonghai continued, "But he later died of malnutrition, physical weakness and illness."

"The factory gave Lao Jia a lot of compensation, including nutrition expenses. But when he died, he weighed less than 80 kilograms. And you, on the contrary, weighed 180 kilograms!"

"We all know that you spent all of Lao Jia's money and ate all the food. Although this is your family affair, it's not easy for us to say anything. But you know better how Dongxu died."

At this time, Jia Zhang was in a panic, and she was surrounded by neighbors who came to watch the fun.

"You're talking nonsense. Old Jia can't eat it." Jia Zhang said in panic, "As for Dongxu being injured by the machine, what does it have to do with me!"

"It has nothing to do with you?" Qin Huairu was almost going crazy. "You devoured all the good things in the house. You ate them like a fat pig. I had to look for food everywhere, but when I came back, most of it was eaten by you."

"Dongxu was sucked into the machine because of malnutrition and lack of physical strength." Yi Zhonghai continued to accuse, "Banggeng became a eunuch because of you. Think about it, should you die?"

"This... this matter has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me at all." Jia Zhang suddenly stood up and rushed out like a wild boar.

The crowd naturally made way for her, allowing Jia Zhang to run back home. Immediately, a lot of discussion broke out around them.

"What a wicked woman! She caused the Jia family to be extinct just because of her mouth."

"Just think about it. If it weren't for her, how could she have eaten so much fat in those years?"

"Yes, he is indeed fed with food from the whole family, otherwise he wouldn't be so fat."

Seeing everyone talking about it, Qin Huairu finally relaxed a little. This way, her remarriage with Yi Zhonghai would no longer attract other people's contempt.

When Jia Zhang returned home, the first thing she did was to sit there and talk to herself, saying "this is none of my business" while taking out the pig's head meat from the dry lotus leaf package and stuffing it into her mouth. In a few minutes, the pig's head meat was eaten up.

"Oh, right, we need to tidy up the house," Jia Zhang said as she stood up. What she meant by tidying up was actually packing up all of Old Man Lu's clothes and selling them, and then burning all of his photos and other things.

"It's a good idea to do this. All of Old Man Lu's money will belong to me. This house... hehe, I really made a profit this time." Jia Zhang was secretly happy.

Jia Zhang rummaged through boxes and cabinets at home and found 800 yuan in cash, 10 small yellow croakers and 55 silver dollars. She carefully calculated the amount, adding the money she had received before and the money she had in hand, and the total amount was more than 2,300 yuan. "Okay, this money is enough to spend." Jia Zhang was very proud.

Jia Zhangshi was not as worried about retirement as Yi Zhonghai. As long as she had enough money, she would live comfortably. As for the fact that no one would worship her after her death, what did it have to do with her? By then, she would have been gone.
