Qin Huairu stood blankly at the door of the courtyard.

When I think that Jia Dongxu's body is still so strong and healthy, he won't be able to die within a year or two, and his hard life will still last.

Her heart suddenly sank a little bit.

Days like this are really an endless journey for her.

…

Qin Huairu sighed and turned around and entered the courtyard.

As soon as we entered the middle courtyard, we heard the sound of children crying one after another in the house.

"Hungry, so hungry, I want to eat!"

"Woooooo! Grandma, I'm so hungry!"

It was clearly the voices of Xiaodang and Huaihua.

It was also mixed with Jia Zhang's angry curses.

"Cry, cry, cry! Just cry!"

"Get out of here if you keep crying!"

"That shameless mother of yours is fooling around somewhere right now. How can she remember that you two little ones are hungry at home!"

"You are hungry. I am even hungrier than you! Didn't I make sorghum rice porridge for you? You are still shouting that you are hungry, so you can't bear it!"

"So annoying!"

And Jia Dongxu's impatient voice also came out.

"Shut up these two damn girls! They were so hungry and panicked, but they kept crying. If they hadn't been able to get up, I really wanted to give them a beating!"

Hearing the chaos in the room, Qin Huairu felt anxious, fearing that Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu had really beaten Xiaodang and Sophora japonica, so she hurriedly entered the house.

"Mom, I'm back."

Hearing Qin Huairu's voice, Xiaodang and Huaihua's eyes lit up first, and they quickly ran over and threw themselves into Qin Huairu's arms.

Crying: "Mom, you are finally back! We are so hungry~ Our stomachs feel so uncomfortable!"

"Mom, I want to eat! Woohoo!"

Qin Huairu patiently touched the heads of her two daughters and said, "Don't cry. Wait until Mom sees there is nothing edible at home..."

Before Qin Huairu finished speaking, Qin Huairu on the side rushed over.

He pinched his waist with one hand, pointed at the tip of Qin Huairu's nose with the other and cursed: "You little bitch, you still know how to come back!!"

"This morning, you left without cooking, and you didn't say you would come back after work. You have been waiting until now to come back. Where have you been?! Tell me!"

When Qin Huairu faced Jia Zhang's accusations and difficulties, she was a little scared and said: "I got up late in the morning and rushed to work, so I didn't cook... As for the evening..."

"I went back to my natal Qinhuang Village today, so I came back late..."

Hearing what Qin Huairu said, Jia Zhang spat heavily on the ground.

"Nonsence!"

"Stop pretending to be with me here!"

"You woke up late? So you didn't cook? You think I'm a fool! I think you just don't want to cook and want to be lazy! You didn't do it on purpose!"

Qin Huairu suddenly felt guilty when facing Jia Zhang's cold and angry expression.

What Jia Zhang said was right. She didn't get up late in the morning. The reason why she went to work directly without cooking was actually intentional.

She just didn't make breakfast on purpose.

As for the reason, it was because of the abuse and humiliation Jia Zhang had given her the day before, which made Qin Huairu feel aggrieved.

She felt that in this family, she was the one who made the money, she was the one who cooked for the family, and she was the one who borrowed money and food, but her status in this family was the lowest.

Jia Zhangshi scolded her, Jia Dongxu scolded her, and now even stick jokes have begun to scold her.

Qin Huairu felt suffocated, so she thought of this way. She would hide away for a day without cooking and not at home, so as to embarrass Jia Zhang.

Let her try what it is like when she is not at home.

Look at how this family can eat and live without me.

She originally wanted to hide back to her parents' house for a few days and let Jia Zhang suffer. Then, when Jia Zhang had no choice but to go to Qinhuang Village to apologize to herself, well, even if she didn't apologize, she still had to go.

Bow to yourself, say soft words, and beg yourself to come back.

In this case, Qin Huairu's status in the Jia family will definitely be improved.

Only in this family will you have your own place.

Mrs. Jia Zhang will not continue to oppress and beat herself blindly.

Bangge can also have some respect for his own mother.

However, Qin Huairu's thoughts are beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.

Although her plan was indeed true, it collapsed halfway as soon as she took a step forward.

She never expected that as soon as she returned to her parents' home, she would be kicked out by her parents because she ate two fried cakes.

My original plan of staying at my parents' house for a few more days, waiting for Mrs. Jia Zhang to pick me up, came to nothing.

She could only return here unwillingly.

Continue to bite the bullet and endure Mrs. Jia Zhang’s abuse.

She pretended to be brave and continued to make amends for herself.

"I really don't... I, my sister-in-law is going to give birth today. I'll go back and take a look. I'll be back soon."

Qin Huairu had no choice but to make up random reasons, hoping to get away with it.

Mrs. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "Huh, even your sister-in-law who is about to give birth has moved out. Do you think I will believe it?"

"As a cold-blooded person like you, let alone your sister-in-law giving birth to the child, even if your own mother gives birth to the child, you may not go back! Don't use this to frustrate me!"

Qin Huairu suddenly became embarrassed when she heard what Jia Zhang said was so unpleasant.

He whispered: "Mom, what you said is too unpleasant..."

Mrs. Jia Zhang sneered and said loudly: "Hard to hear?"

"This is called unpleasant? I haven't said the unpleasant words yet!"

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu with eyes full of contempt and disgust. She walked around Qin Huairu and curled her lips.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Look at all the mud and snow on your body. What did you do?"

"Could it be that you went to wallow in the wilderness with some wild man?"

Qin Huairu's expression changed and she sighed.

"Mom, it's winter now, and you know the weather outside. It's freezing and snowy. How could you possibly go to the wilds... I really didn't!"

"The mud on these shoes was stuck on when I walked back from my parents' house."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jia Zhang glared at her with disdain.

Although Mrs. Jia Zhang hated Qin Huairu very much, she was not a fool. She naturally knew that what Qin Huairu said should be true.

There is not so much mud on the roads in this city. It is estimated that Qin Huairu really came back from her natal family in the countryside.

But she didn't care if it was true or not, she just couldn't stand Qin Huairu, and she probably said something disgusting to her.

"Stop talking nonsense to me and hurry up and cook. Can't you hear those two damn girls of yours crying all night? They're so annoying! I'm hungry too, hurry up and cook for me!"

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly after hearing this, and had to get up and go to the kitchen.

She sat in front of the stove, adding firewood to the fire, and listened to Jia Zhang scolding Xiaodang and Sophora japonica in the room again.

I couldn't help feeling angry.

Qin Huairu is naturally partial to her three children.

Bangge is his only son, Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, and Jia Dongxu are all precious children.

Although he is the oldest of the three children, because he is a boy, the eldest one eats the most of whatever delicious food the family has.

Only the last bit left over will be given to Xiaodang and Sophora japonica to eat.

But although Qin Huairu loves Banggan, she also misses Xiaodang and Sophora japonica in her heart.

After all, it was the meat that fell from her body. How could Qin Huairu not care at all?

However, Mrs. Jia Zhang showed no pity or love for these two girls.

She is always cursing at them. If there is anything to eat at home, the first thing she thinks of is naturally her precious grandson Bangge, the second is to stuff it into her own mouth, then her son Jia Dongxu, and finally

, these are the two little granddaughters.

In Jia Zhang's eyes, girls are of no use at all.

Now, no matter how much we feed them and how well they are raised, when they grow up, they belong to someone else's family.

Only the grandson is the backbone of his family.

Naturally, she loves Bangge, her grandson.

Qin Huairu sighed and increased the frequency of adding firewood to make the fire burn brighter.

She scraped some sorghum flour from the bottom of the vat and cooked some gruel.

At this time, we only have so much food at home.

I can only wait until I get to work at the steel factory tomorrow, then go to the cafeteria and ask for leftover steamed buns or something from the bald man.

Qin Huairu was thinking about it while lighting the fire.

Suddenly, a slight cough came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this voice, Qin Huairu stopped moving her hands and quickly looked outside.

Of course she recognized whose voice it was.

That was the sound of Yi Zhonghai coughing.

Qin Huairu's heart moved slightly.

At this time, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Except for my own family, everyone in other families must have gone to bed long ago.

Why did Yi Zhonghai cough in the hospital?

Moreover, the sound of his coughing was obviously lowered, like...

Give her another hint? Let her out?

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu picked up the bucket beside her, pretended to go out to the yard to collect water, and walked out of the house.

As soon as Qin Huairu walked out of the house, she saw Yi Zhonghai standing at the door of the vegetable cellar, looking towards her house.

Yi Zhonghai had actually gone to bed long ago.

During this period of time, because his aunt was watching closely, he couldn't find a chance to talk to Qin Huairu, and he felt very aggrieved.

I have been thinking about finding an opportunity to talk to Qin Huairu again and build a relationship.

But after work today, he immediately went to the workshop to look for Qin Huairu, but was told that Qin Huairu left as soon as she got off work.

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly returned to the courtyard and stood in the crack of his door for a long time, looking around, but did not see Qin Huairu come out.

In the end, amid Jia Zhang's complaints and curses, she learned that Qin Huairu had not returned from work.

Yi Zhonghai waited impatiently at home, and never waited for Qin Huairu to come back.

As a result, just now, when he was about to fall asleep, he heard familiar curses coming from the Jia family.

He immediately sat up.

Qin Huairu is back!

Yi Zhonghai quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed. He glanced at the snoring aunt sleeping beside him and turned away in disgust.

Quietly, he opened the door and walked out.

The weather is so cold and windy.

It's freezing cold, and no one will go out if nothing happens.

The night was already dark. At this time, every house in the courtyard had turned off their lights and went to bed early.

Yi Zhonghai slipped to the door of the vegetable cellar.

Coughing lightly, expecting Qin Huairu to find him.

Sure enough, as soon as he coughed twice, the door of Jia's house opened.

Qin Huairu walked out with a bucket and looked around.

Sure enough, she heard her own voice!

Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed and waved to her quickly, asking her to come over.

Qin Huairu also saw Yi Zhonghai.

After observing the surroundings and making sure that no one was around, he quickly ran towards the vegetable cellar.

Yi Zhonghai pulled Qin Huairu and they hid in the vegetable cellar.

He also lightly bolted the vegetable cellar door.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu with warm eyes.

"Huairu, I finally see you."

"I haven't seen you in the past few days, but you don't know that I'm thinking about you..."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't restrain his excitement and spoke incoherently.

Qin Huairu patiently listened to what he said.

He didn't say anything, but he was very impatient in his heart.

As a young woman, she naturally looked down upon the old man Yi Zhonghai.

There is only one reason why she is still in contact with Yi Zhonghai and is willing to talk to him.

That is,

This man is rich.

He can give himself money.

Qin Huairu heard Yi Zhonghai say a few words and couldn't help but interrupt him.

"Master, I have something to do and I want to ask you, can you help me?"

Hearing what Qin Huairu said, Yi Zhonghai was stunned and immediately understood what she meant.

Then he asked: "Did you just come back? Haven't you eaten yet??"

"Look, what did I bring you?"

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he took out a roasted sweet potato from his pocket.

As soon as he took out the sweet potatoes, the sweet smell immediately penetrated Qin Huairu's nose.

She couldn't help but her eyes widened suddenly.

Drool immediately formed in his mouth and he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

In this day and age, although sweet potatoes are not very rare, most families can still afford them.

However, Qin Huairu's family has not had even this for a long time.

She quickly snatched the sweet potato from Yi Zhonghai's hand, broke it with both hands, and stuffed it into her mouth without even having time to peel it off.

She had been hungry since she got off work in the afternoon and walked such a long way back to her parents' home. When she arrived at her parents' home, even though she ate those two fried cakes, how could she survive until now with the strength of those fried cakes?

.

She was so hungry that stars appeared in her eyes and she felt weak all over.

The roasted sweet potato that came to her now was like saving her life.

This sweet potato was cooked by Yi Zhonghai’s family for dinner.

When Yi Zhonghai came out, he quietly put it in his pocket, just to please Qin Huairu.

Seeing Qin Huairu eating in such a hurry, a proud look appeared on her face.

"Huai Ru, I knew you must be hungry. I specially saved these sweet potatoes for you! Are they delicious?"

This sweet potato has already cooled down.

But for Qin Huairu, this is already a rare delicacy.

She just felt like she had never eaten such delicious food.
