Siheyuan came through and sent Jia Zhang to prison

Yi Zhonghai was about to go out for a walk. He thought that he was just sitting around doing nothing at home, so he could take a walk to stretch his muscles and bones. When he came back, he could also stop by He Yuzhu's house to have a good meal. It would be a very comfortable life. Just as he was about to step out of the house, Qin Huairu rushed in.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the breathless Qin Huairu with a puzzled look on his face, and asked with a smile: "Qin Huairu, what's wrong with you? You're so anxious. I was just about to go out for a walk and will be back soon. Why did you come here suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

Qin Huairu's face was full of dissatisfaction and confusion. She hurried to Yi Zhonghai and told him all about Ma Xin's visit to the courtyard: "Uncle Yi, tell me, what exactly is He Yuzhu doing? He didn't invite so many neighbors to the courtyard, but invited an outsider. Isn't it obvious that he doesn't take us old neighbors seriously?"

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes slightly, rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "Isn't this a good opportunity? Since he invited outsiders, why can't we go over there?"

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard this, but then her eyes lit up and she suddenly realized, "Yes, Master Yi, you are absolutely right! We will go there when the time comes. This is indeed a rare opportunity. Not only can we join in the fun, but we may even be able to have a good meal."

Yi Zhonghai showed a smug smile and said, "You, just keep an eye on the door and pay attention to what's going on at He Yuzhu's house. I'm going to go out to digest my food and take a stroll. You know He Yuzhu will definitely cook a lot of delicious food today, so we have to find the right time."

Qin Huairu understood what he meant and didn't say anything more. She turned around and hurried back. She stood at the door of her house, her eyes fixed in the direction of He Yuzhu's house, like a diligent sentry.

On the other side, He Yuzhu was busy in the kitchen, and all kinds of delicious dishes came out under his skillful hands. Today he was very motivated and wanted to celebrate well, so the dishes he prepared were particularly rich. However, He Yushui was standing aside, with a hint of displeasure on his face, standing there and looking a little out of place.

Qin Jingru noticed something was wrong with He Yushui. She walked over and asked with concern, "Yushui, why do you look unhappy today? Did something happen?"

He Yushui was confused. She didn't understand why her uncle was still in contact with Ma Xin. But how could she tell Qin Jingru about this? After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she was He Feng's niece. If people knew that she had special feelings for her uncle, it would be a big deal and she would be criticized. She quickly forced a smile and said, "It's okay, Sister Jingru. I just feel a little uncomfortable these two days. Maybe I caught a cold."

When Qin Jingru heard this, she thought He Yushui was talking about something that girls experience every month, so she nodded knowingly and didn't ask any more questions. She just reminded him, "Then drink more hot water and have a good rest, and you should feel better."

At this time, the whole courtyard was filled with the tempting aroma of He Yuzhu's dishes. The rich aroma drifted in every corner with the wind, causing the neighbors to secretly swallow their saliva. However, although everyone was tempted by the aroma, no one dared to easily ask to eat for free.

After all, given He Feng's status, everyone was somewhat timid and did not dare to act rashly. They could only sniff the mouth-watering aroma and secretly hope for a turn of events... In the courtyard, this subtle atmosphere spread in the air, mixed with the aroma of delicious food, as if a silent contest was quietly taking place...

There was a faint dull atmosphere in the Jia family's house. Jia Dongxu sat on a worn-out chair, his nose twitching constantly. The aroma of food wafting from He Yuzhu's house was like an invisible hand, tickling his heart.

Finally, Jia Dongxu couldn't help it anymore. He frowned, looked at Qin Huairu who was busy at the side, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Qin Huairu, smell it, why does He Yuzhu's house smell so good? Can't you go over and order some food?" Jia Dongxu's eyes were full of desire, as if the tempting aroma of the food had turned into real delicious food.

Jia Dongxu's aunt also chimed in. She looked at Qin Huairu with a matter-of-fact look on her face and said, "Yes, Qin Huairu, haven't you and He Yuzhu always had a good relationship? Also, isn't Qin Jingru also your cousin? Just go and ask for some food, what's so difficult about that? You know the situation in our family now. We're living in a tight situation and it's hard to even have a good meal." As the aunt spoke, she deliberately wiped away the non-existent saliva with her hand, her eyes revealing her eager desire for food.

At first, when Qin Huairu first met Jia Dongxu's aunt, she was glad that there was someone who could help the family, and thought that she might be able to help with life. But after getting along with her, she found that this aunt was exactly the same as Jia Zhangshi, both of them were lazy and gluttonous. On weekdays, the aunt always sat there, either eating melon seeds or chatting, and she didn't help with the housework at all, and was always picky.

Jia Dongxu always obeyed his aunt's words. He nodded vigorously at this moment, looked at Qin Huairu, and said impatiently: "Qin Huairu, aunt is right. Qin Jingru is your cousin. Just go and ask for some food. Look at what we eat every day. It's so bland that it makes me almost sick."

When Jia Dongxu spoke, he smacked his lips exaggeratedly a few times, as if this could get rid of the bland taste in his mouth.

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly, looked at Jia Dongxu, and said with a look of grievance: "Dongxu, you also know that Qin Jingru's attitude towards me is not very good now. Since she came to the Siheyuan, it is completely different from before in the countryside. Even if I go there, she may not give me food. Maybe I have to look at her mood. It would be asking for trouble if I go there." Qin Huairu felt uncomfortable when she thought of Qin Jingru's cold attitude.

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he was immediately furious. He stood up abruptly, pointed his finger at Qin Huairu and said loudly: "Isn't this all because of you? If it weren't for you, would our family be in such a difficult situation now? Look at you, you just do nothing at home all day long, and I don't see you bring any benefits to the family." Jia Dongxu's face turned red and his eyes were full of anger.
