"Brother Cheng, what does Shazhu want to see you for?" After returning to the house, Pingping saw Zhao Cheng and asked.

"It's He Yuzhu who asked me to buy some food for him." Zhao Cheng said.

"He's a cook, and he wants to buy some food from you?" Pingping said in disbelief.

So Zhao Cheng told Pingping about Qin Huairu's operation. He said exactly what He Yuzhu said, without any adulteration.

"Oh my, is Qin Huairu crazy? How can he be so unreliable?" Pingping was really impressed by Qin Huairu's actions.

"I guess Qin Huairu is blinded by the good life she's living. Plus, He Daqing is very busy at home, and He Yuzhu lives alone after the family split up. No one takes care of her at home, so doesn't she think she has the final say in the family? Then she has to act according to her own ideas. In her perception, it's natural for the cook to take food from the canteen, so there will definitely be no shortage of food at home!" Zhao Cheng couldn't understand what Qin Huairu was thinking.

"How much food do they want to buy from you?" Pingping asked.

"Just buy the shortage for this month. Their family's food ration will be enough for next month." Zhao Cheng expressed He Yuzhu's idea.

"That's okay. Two hundred kilograms of food are enough for their family for more than ten days. The problem is easy to solve!" Pingping breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was only two hundred kilograms of food. If they bought more, her husband would not agree. After all, food is life now.

After returning home, He Yuzhu also sighed. He felt that his father was busy all day long, and there was still someone at home who was worrying about him. He was really worried that his sister would suffer as well.

"Boss, what's wrong? You come back sighing!" He Yuzhu's wife came over and asked.

He Yuzhu married his master's daughter, Li Ping, who was one year younger than He Yuzhu.

But Li Ping and He Yuzhu have a very good relationship. After all, they have known each other for many years and can be considered childhood sweethearts.

Li Ping gave He Yuzhu three children: two sons and a daughter. This made Xu Damao very angry. Because he still had no children, even though he was still married to Lou Xiao'e, the eldest daughter. But Xu Damao's problem still existed. Although he didn't have Sha Zhu kicking him in the groin frequently, the problem still existed.

"Alas, our unreliable stepmother! She actually gave all the food and food coupons to my parents' home, and also gave them more than 300 yuan in installments!" He Yuzhu said helplessly.

"What? How could she do that?" Li Ping was also surprised.

Although He Yuzhu is now considered her family's elderly apprentice, similar to a son-in-law, he does not have as low a status as a son-in-law. He Yuzhu only provides for his master and his wife in their old age.

But the husband still has the final say in the family. But this mother-in-law actually emptied her own family? Isn't this too much?

"Well, you know, Dad is very busy, and the housework is basically left to that stepmother. Doesn't that mean she has to do whatever she says?" He Yuzhu also felt a little sympathetic to his father. Fortunately, his wife was more virtuous, unlike that stepmother.

"Alas, there's nothing our father can do. It's good enough now. At least you've given birth to three children for him, and the fourth is in the belly! It's better than him marrying a widow, right?" Li Ping comforted.

He Yuzhu just sighed. He didn't want to comment too much on Qin Huairu's behavior. He could only say that he had to bear the consequences of his father's choice.

In the He family's house in the middle courtyard of No. 95, Qin Huairu, with a bulging belly, was preparing meals for her three children. It was already the fifteenth day of the Rain Water Festival, so she was considered an adult. She was feeding her youngest brother, He Yuping.

"Aunt Qin, don't be angry. My father will definitely find a way. How can our family be short of food?" He Yushui looked at Qin Huairu who was complaining about herself. She felt so angry that her teeth itched, but she tried to comfort her.

Today, she also learned about Qin Huairu's actions. Qin Huairu had never been very kind to Yu Shui, and this time, she even used her family's money to fill the Qin family's hole. This made Yu Shui dislike Qin Huairu even more.

If Qin Huairu had spent the money and food on her own brothers, Yu Shui would not have said anything, but she actually gave it to outsiders. This stepmother is quite something.

"Oh, Yu Shui, why do you think I have such a miserable life? My parents don't have enough food to eat, and my brother is getting married. What's wrong with me sharing some of the food with them? Your father actually beat me? I have been married to him for so many years, and I gave birth to three children for him. There is another one in my belly. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard, right? How can he be so cruel! Can I watch my parents starve to death?" After listening to He Yu Shui's words, Qin Huairu opened up her emotions and complained to Yu Shui.

"We certainly can't watch them starve to death, but how can you give away all the food? The food for this meal was borrowed by my father, otherwise we would have nothing to eat." He Yushui could only seize this opportunity to complain.

"I was just thinking that your father and your brother both work in the kitchen. If there's not enough food at home, wouldn't it be enough for our family if we just bring some from work? Is that really a problem?" Qin Huairu felt aggrieved.

In her opinion, isn't it normal for a chef to take home some food from the kitchen? He Daqing also brings food home whenever he cooks for others. What's the difference?

He Yushui could only roll her eyes after hearing what Qin Huairu said. She didn't know if this Aunt Qin was really stupid or just ignorant. Her father, He Daqing, and her brother, He Yuzhu, both worked in government-owned companies. Taking food from their kitchens was stealing!

Her brother had already suffered before, so how could they do this again? Would they be fired again?

It was also thanks to Qin Huairu that she said it so easily. Is her brain full of mush?

There was something wrong with the way He Yushui looked at Qin Huairu.

"Aunt Qin, my father and brother both work in state-owned enterprises. Stealing is illegal!" He Yushui said.

"If there's no food at home, what's wrong with taking some home for emergency? At most, I can return it after buying food at home!" Qin Huairu argued cunningly.

"Oh, how can this be the same? I can't explain it to you clearly. You'd better apologize to my father quickly! I will take the three of them to my room to sleep today!" He Yushui saw that the children had finished eating, and took them directly back to his room, arranged for them to wash up, told them stories, and coaxed his three younger siblings.

Qin Huairu was the only one left in the main room, feeling sorry for herself. When He Daqing came back, he found Qin Huairu still sitting at the dinner table. It seemed that the children had finished eating, so He Daqing was relieved.

"Go to your house tomorrow and ask for the money back! I haven't treated your family unfairly over the years, have I? We have enough money for festivals and holidays. The house has been built, so why are you still taking money from home to subsidize your family? What's the matter? Will your children suffer in the future?" He Daqing sat opposite Qin Huairu in a bad mood and said to Qin Huairu.

"Mr. He! How could you treat our family like this?" Qin Huairu immediately became furious when she heard what He Daqing said and shouted at He Daqing.
