Chapter 100 Yi Jia reconciles, scheming over the lunchbox

This statement seemed to have provided the Jia family with a common enemy.

Even Qin Huairu stared in the direction of the Cao family, her eyes filled with resentment and venom.

There's nothing I can do; right now, or rather, before, her complexion was slightly better.

As a result, she was completely targeted by the suspicious and paranoid Jia Zhangshi.

He even muttered to himself that Qin Huairu, that vixen, definitely had someone else outside.

Otherwise, why would her complexion be so rosy? It was precisely for this reason that Jia Zhangshi reduced Qin Huairu's portion size again.

They were only allowed to drink cornmeal porridge every day, just to see if Qin Huairu could still have a rosy complexion.

Under such circumstances, except occasionally at night when Yi Zhonghai felt extremely distressed, he would send some money or food.

Qin Huairu often regretted it at night, thinking that she wouldn't have done this back in the countryside.

Because of my good looks, back then I would usually only drink cornmeal porridge in the morning.

At noon and even in the evening, the food was always cornbread or steamed buns.

Now that they've come to the Jia family, they can't even afford cornbread, and their lives have actually deteriorated.

It was precisely because of this so-called coercion that Jia Dongxu chose to turn a blind eye.

After all, Qin Huairu hadn't eaten much, yet she was excessively rosy-cheeked; it was obvious something was amiss.

It was under these circumstances that Qin Huairu, who was not getting enough to eat, gradually became thinner, let alone produce milk.

At this moment, Bang Geng sucked for a long time but got nothing, and cried loudly. Qin Huairu also couldn't help but cry and said.

"Dongxu, how many times have I told you? If you really don't believe me, just send me back. Right now, you're leaving Banggeng to starve."

A hint of heartache flashed in Jia Dongxu's eyes as he mentioned this, but at that moment, Jia Zhangshi's harsh voice rang out again.

"Oh ho, then just tell me honestly which wild man you were hanging out with before? How come you look so rosy-cheeked even though you haven't eaten much?"

At this point, Qin Huairu had no choice but to shut her mouth again.

In fact, this period was the most difficult time for the Jia family, or for Qin Huairu.

They originally thought that their lives would get better after Yi Zhonghai became a so-called "old man".

As a result, Yi Zhonghai deliberately ignored them for a period of time.

This is precisely why Yi Zhonghai intends to set some rules for the so-called Jia family, since they didn't come to him for the last incident but instead went to that so-called Old Wang.

Right now, after finishing his meal, Yi Zhonghai went to the vicinity of Jia's house and heard Bang Geng's heart-wrenching cries, so he couldn't help but come in.

Seeing this scene brought the argument between the three members of the Jia family to an abrupt halt.

Seeing that Banggeng looked thin from hunger, Yi Zhonghai was heartbroken, for Banggeng was his own son.

Madam Jia Zhang seemed to still be angry, and at this moment she couldn't help but start speaking sarcastically.

"Hey, isn't this Dongxu's master? No, he should be called Grandpa."

Because of the reduced relief efforts over the past two months, Jia Zhangshi now sees Yi Zhonghai as a damned childless man.

Yi Zhonghai was suppressing his anger at this moment. Even when facing Jia Zhangshi, who treated him like dirt, he didn't get angry. The reason he didn't get angry was precisely because of his affection for his so-called son, Banggeng.

Under such circumstances, faced with Qin Huairu's tender and pleading eyes, his heart melted completely, and he also sighed.

"Didn't you all go to find Old Wang back then?"

Even though he had to back down, Yi Zhonghai didn't intend to completely back down at the beginning. After all, he knew very well that if he completely backed down in front of the Jia family, they would only take advantage of him in the future.

The deliberate revisiting of the past infuriated Jia Zhangshi, but Jia Dongxu realized that his master was subtly giving his family a way out.

So he quickly began to explain.

"Master, mainly because I was thinking that he had just become an administrator and I wanted to see if he was useful. Besides, that incident ended up causing me a lot of trouble, and I didn't want you to have to go through that again because of me."

These words gave Yi Zhonghai a way out, and at the same time, they made him nod in agreement.

After that, he gave Cao Wei a brief verbal slap.

Yi Zhonghai smelled the aroma of food wafting from the Cao family's house across the street from the Jia family's house.

As he frowned, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

At this moment, Qin Huairu, smelling this odor, seemed to be unable to stand it any longer and couldn't help but speak to Yi Zhonghai.

"Master Yi, we really can't stand this smell every day."

This sentence, originally Qin Huairu's complaint, seemed to provide Yi Zhonghai with a new perspective, making him slap his thigh in exasperation.

"Yeah, why should this little bastard get to live the high life? I think he should be made to help out his neighbors."

O

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she began to shout.

"That's right, why does this little bastard get to eat so well? I think from now on he should bring us lunchboxes, and he should bring us two at a time, both of them must be meat, with white flour buns."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but roll his eyes at Jia Zhangshi's request when making the wish.

However, this also provides him with a so-called new perspective.

After saying a few more kind words, Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu, who was suffering right now.

Yi Zhonghai then returned to his home and had Li Mei cut off a sausage.

They gave the sausages to the Jia family under the pretext of helping Qin Huairu produce milk, but the sausages had only just arrived at the dinner table.

It was almost swallowed whole by the quick-thinking and agile Jia Zhangshi in just a few bites.

Fortunately, at this moment, Jia Dongxu, the incompetent husband, saw that Bang Geng had not stopped crying and finally stood up for himself again.

"Mom, how can you bear to let your grandson starve to death like this?"

These words made Jia Zhangshi pause in her work for a moment.

After a brief moment of hesitation, she took the sausage out of her mouth.

She stingily gave Qin Huairu a small piece of sausage, about the size of a fingernail, and placed it in front of her rice bowl. Then she stuffed a small piece of sausage, about the size of a thumbnail, into the mouth of her eldest son, Jia Dongxu.

And while chewing, Jia Zhangshi was also mumbling incoherently.

"Hmph, you're getting off easy, you sly fox."

Upon seeing this, Qin Huairu's expression was somewhat indescribable.

This is the sausage that Jia Zhangshi eats.

But no matter what, it's still meat. And right now, she's doing it for the sake of the stick.

I could only grit my teeth and eat it, but I could only taste a little bit of flavor before it was gone.

Madam Jia was still grumbling and complaining.

"Damn it, they didn't even send more of this childless woman. I haven't even had a chance to taste it yet."

This left Qin Huairu speechless.

On the other hand, even though he had a direction, Yi Zhonghai was well aware that it would be extremely difficult to get Cao Wei to deliver lunchboxes to the Jia family.

However, he couldn't help but think of some of the impoverished households in the courtyard, and then his eyes lit up.

They went directly to Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui to discuss the matter.

"Old Xu, Old Liu, I think the three of us old men should do something worthwhile. Some of our neighbors in the courtyard aren't particularly poor, so if we have some extra money, we should try our best to help them out. It would also help build up the good reputation of our courtyard house. Aren't they going to be evaluating outstanding courtyard houses soon? I remember we get something for it. What do you guys think?"

Liu Haizhong nodded dumbfounded at these high-sounding words. Xu Fugui sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't refuse such a plausible excuse.

So, after the plan was finalized, it was just past dinner time.

It was Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian, who had bangs, who informed these beastly neighbors.

He was preparing to attend the first so-called plenary meeting.

When Cao Wei learned of this news, he couldn't help but frown.

He knew these so-called beasts all too well. The so-called college-wide meeting was most likely just another trick Yi Zhonghai was up to.
