I brought a Jurassic

Chapter 5 Beggar

"Grandma, I want to eat. I want to eat delicious food."

When Banggeng smelled the fragrance coming from Wang Luo's house next door, he immediately started crying.

"This little bastard doesn't know what delicious food he's cooking. It's really infuriating. He'd rather give it to that money-loser Yushui than to my good grandson. Be good, Banggeng. I'll ask your mom to buy it for you later."

Jia Zhang held up her pair of shoes, which had been patinated by the starch, and kept cursing.

"Mom, please stop scolding me. If Xiao Luo hears you, he might report you to the street office for insulting a military family. We can't afford to offend them. Besides, I have no money on me. Where can I buy some? You know the current situation. I'm lucky to have three cornmeal steamed buns a day. Sigh."

Qin Huairu was really speechless in front of the grandmother and granddaughter. There was only a limited amount of goods every month, and they couldn't buy them even if they wanted to. Even if they could find them on the black market, they had no receipts or money. Jia Dongxu was only a third-level worker, supporting a family of five, young and old.

"Didn't Dongxu just give you fifteen dollars a few days ago? Have you spent it all? What did you buy? You really don't know how to live."

Jia Zhang glared at him, put her hands on her hips, and started to scold him like Rong Mama.

"Mom, can we be reasonable? Yes, Dongxu gave me 15 yuan a few days ago, and I bought all the corn flour. I finally had yuan left. Banggeng was shouting that he wanted to eat white flour buns, so I went to the pigeon market and bought a pound of white flour. How could I have left?"

Qin Huairu looked aggrieved, and her expression as if she was half crying would probably make the grown man, who didn't know the inside story, feel distressed for a long time.

"Whose flour is one dollar a pound? Are you kidding me?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she became unwilling and immediately retorted.

"If you don't believe me, go to Pigeon Market and take a look. A few days ago, it was one yuan per pound, but now you can't even buy it for one yuan. Food is so scarce right now. It's good enough to be able to buy some. You don't know that whenever some food comes to Pigeon Market, it is immediately snatched away."

"I don't care. If my grandson wants to eat fish, you as his mother should prepare it for him. What else do you need to do as a mother? If you can't buy it, why don't you go back to the little bastard next door and borrow some? How old is he? How much can he eat? I caught such a big fish last night, but it was all eaten by that money-losing bastard Yu Shui."

Faced with her aggressive and unreasonable mother-in-law, Qin Huairu, who had not yet achieved great success in her cultivation, had no choice but to go to Wang Luo's house with a bowl in hand and try her luck, hoping that she could get something back.

Yes, children are just that young and thin-skinned, so they will definitely give something.

With this thought in mind, Qin Huairu knocked on the gate of Wang Luo's house.

"Sister-in-law Jia, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Qin Huairu holding a bowl, Wang Luo knew what she wanted to do. He leaned against the door frame and did not let her in, but still asked pretending not to know.

"Well, Xiao Luo, what delicious food did you make? The smell can be smelled from far away. Look, our Bang Geng smelled it and clamored to eat it. But you know what the situation is now. Your brother Dongxu is the only one who feeds our whole family. We really don't have the money to buy it. Bang Geng is not getting enough nutrition and has lost a lot of weight. Can you give him something to eat? Don't worry, I'm just borrowing it and I will definitely pay it back in the future."

It was the first time for Qin Huairu to do such a thing, and she was still very thin-skinned, so she spoke softly in embarrassment, her face very red.

"Oh, sister-in-law of the Qin family, we are neighbors, and since you asked, I should lend it to you, but you know that nothing is easy right now, and I had a hard time exchanging a few eggs with others, so I can have some meat today.

I'm only fourteen, still a child. Don't say that Banggeng is thin. Look at me, I'm thin too. What's more, my ability to make money depends on my parents to support me. So, I'm sorry, I really can't lend you the money.

If it really doesn't work, you can go and have a look at other families, such as the first uncle's family, the second uncle's family, or the third uncle's family. They have the ability to make money, unlike me. Don't you think this is the truth?"

Wang Luo gave Qin Huairu this idea with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Well, forget it, I'll go check out someone else's house. Sorry!"

Wang Luo had already said that he was a child who was raised by his parents. Qin Huairu, who had little cultivation, didn't know what to say. She could only smile and left with the bowl. "Haha, you're using this trick on me. Don't I know what kind of people you are? You said you were borrowing money, but you won't pay it back. And if I give you a first time, you will do it a second time and a third time. So, get out of here, hum."

He slammed the door shut and said, "Whatever you say, I still have to eat pterosaur eggs. You guys are not worthy of eating such high-end ingredients."

"Not coming back?"

Seeing that Qin Huairu's bowl was empty, Jia Zhang asked unhappily.

"No, he just fried a few eggs and said he was a child. How can I open my mouth again?"

Qin Huairu said helplessly.

"It's really useless."

Jia Zhang cursed angrily.

"Grandma, I want to eat eggs. I want to eat scrambled eggs. Go make them for me. Woo woo woo."

Bang Geng started crying again.

"Be good, Bang Geng. We won't eat that little beast's food. Wait for your dad to get home from get off work and ask him to buy you some meat."

There is no other way but to appease Bang Geng, what else can I do.

Wang Luo didn't care about this weird family. He let them do whatever they wanted and just hid in the house, happily eating pterosaur eggs. It tasted really good, almost the same as goose eggs.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

Just as I took a few bites and tasted the flavor, there was a knock on the closed door again.

"Who is this? Can't we have a good meal every day?"

Ever since grandpa passed away, apart from Yu Shui, no one else from the yard came to visit the house. Today, one after another came. For him who just wanted to live his own life, it was really annoying!

"My dear grandson, haha, what delicious food did you make? It smells so good."

When he opened the door, he saw a deaf old lady, grinning at him with her toothless mouth.

"Old lady, what you said is not your good grandson. Not to mention my grandfather who just passed away, even if our surname is Wang, it is ranked among the best in the country. So, let's not talk nonsense about this relative, otherwise our ancestors of the Wang family will come out from the underworld and beat me to death!"

He didn't know what this deaf old lady was up to. Anyway, ever since he moved into this courtyard, she had been a childless and five-guarantee household. When his grandfather was still alive, she would often come to visit, not for anything else but to have a bite to eat. After all, the family conditions were pretty good. As a person from Shandong Province, Mr. Wang was definitely hospitable.

Besides, you can’t chase them away when it’s time for dinner. The deaf old lady took advantage of this and often came over every few days to get a bite to eat and drink.

But ever since Mr. Wang passed away, the deaf old lady hasn't come over anymore. She used to talk to Wang Luo often, but later there was no news from her. Well, it seems that he is the only child in the family and there is probably nothing he can do. She just thinks it's troublesome to take care of him.

It's like she always uses people forward and never uses them backward. The old lady has a firm grasp on this aspect. To put it bluntly, she is just a shameless old scoundrel who takes advantage of her seniority to bully others.
