Siheyuan: Master of the Fire, Eating Watermelons Online

Chapter 100 The Jia family is looking for someone, Qin Huairu's crack

【Eating Melon Value +250】

As soon as Jia Zhang opened her mouth, the system directly gave Wang Weiguo a melon-eating value of 250.

Wang Weiguo was almost delighted to death.

This Jia Zhang is so interesting. She created trouble for him right on the spot.

The key point is that this value really fits Jia Zhang’s “stupid” temperament.

How did Qin Huairu get back to her parents' home? How could he not know?
He paid for the travel expenses!

However, Jia Zhang was right in her guess. Qin Huairu did go back to her parents' home.

But even if they knew, it would probably be too late for them to chase after him now.

It just so happened that the reason why Jia Zhang said that just now was simply because she was afraid that everyone would call the street office, the police station, or the Women's Federation, so she deliberately made up a lie.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

"You called us here early in the morning, and this is the result?"

"Isn't this just a waste of time?"

"Uncle, could you please clarify this matter before you hold a meeting of the whole institute next time?"

"Yes, yes, hurry up and eat and go out, you'll be late for work soon."

"..."

Jia Zhang's words were not convincing, but they just happened to be what everyone wanted.

Regardless of whether what Jia Zhang had just said was true or false, everyone complained a few words and then went their separate ways.

Since Jia Zhang herself said so, then it has nothing to do with them.

Wang Weiguo, who muddied the water and watched a good show, left satisfied.

Only Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and others, as well as Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang's mother and son, stayed where they were with grim expressions.

This farce made the three uncles embarrassed on the spot, and the Jia family was also criticized.

After Liu Haizhong criticized Jia Zhangshi for a few words and left with Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai and the aunt came directly to Jia's house and asked Jia Zhangshi, "Sister-in-law, there are no outsiders now. What's going on? Tell me quickly."

What Jia Zhang said outside just now had too many loopholes, and Yi Zhonghai didn't believe it at all.

In fact, it was not just Yi Zhonghai who didn't believe it. Almost no one believed it, but everyone was just too lazy to expose it.

Qin Huairu's disappearance has a huge impact on the Jia family and has also affected himself, so Yi Zhonghai cannot help but be anxious.

Hearing this, Jia Zhang glanced at Yi Zhonghai and Auntie in the room, hesitated for a moment, and finally said stubbornly: "Old Yi, what I just said is true."

Although Yi Zhonghai just said that there were no outsiders in the room, in Jia Zhang's eyes, Yi Zhonghai and the aunt were outsiders, so she didn't want them to know.

Even if Yi Zhonghai is Jia Dongxu's master, he is only slightly related to their family. How can he be considered one of their own?
"Sister-in-law, you don't treat me as your own!"

Yi Zhonghai was such a smart man, how could he not sense all this? His face immediately darkened.

It is true that Jia Dongxu is his first choice for taking care of his elderly, but if the Jia family all have this attitude, it may not be worth it for him to continue investing as before.

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu did not let him down, and said angrily: "Mom, what's wrong with this? The master is not an outsider. Didn't you force Qin Huairu to pay back the money and make all kinds of sarcastic remarks to drive her away?

You were afraid that the street committee and the Women's Federation would come to your house and discover these things, so you stopped it just now, right?
As for the story about Qin Huairu's mother being sick and my father-in-law coming over to take Qin Huairu away last night, you made it up, right?"

Just now Jia Dongxu was anxious and didn't think too much about it. Now that he has calmed down, he has obviously figured it out.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi are his closest relatives, and he knows everything that has happened recently.

As one of the people who knows the situation best, it's not hard to come up with these.

Jia Dongxu had always known about Qin Huairu's situation in their family and how Jia Zhang treated her, but most of the time he chose to turn a blind eye.

After a while, I got used to this state.

Not only Jia Dongxu, but Qin Huairu herself has also gotten used to it.

It was precisely because of Qin Huairu's silence and tolerance that the Jia Zhang family's arrogance and oppression grew, and Jia Dongxu engraved indifference into his bones.

Now Qin Huairu’s disappearance and “resistance” obviously made them panic.

After explaining the situation, the nervous Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang couldn't help but look at Yi Zhonghai and asked directly: "Uncle, you have to help me find Qin Huairu for our family."

Faced with the request for help from the Jia mother and son, Yi Zhonghai also had a headache.

Yi Zhonghai was not completely unaware of how the Jia family treated Qin Huairu, but he just didn't want to interfere in the Jia family's affairs.

Moreover, he always believed that there were no perfect parents in the world, and no matter how excessive Jia Zhangshi was, no one else could say anything.

Especially Qin Huairu's tolerance and silent protection made Yi Zhonghai more satisfied with this apprentice's wife. He thought that she was a filial person like Jia Dongxu.

It is precisely because of this that Yi Zhonghai feels at ease letting the two of them take care of him in his old age.

"Dongxu, do you think Qin Huairu will really go back to her parents' home?"

After thinking for a while, Yi Zhonghai asked.

This is obviously not the time to blame or educate Jia Zhang. The most important thing is to find the person first.

"Impossible. She can't really walk back home in the middle of the night, right?"

Jia Zhang didn't even think about it, she just shook her head and complained, "Besides, Changping is so far away, how long will it take her to get there?"

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Yi Zhonghai said, "Sister-in-law, it's not impossible. Besides, it's daybreak now. Qin Huairu might have stayed out all night and took a bus back to Changping in the morning."

"That's even more impossible!" Facing Yi Zhonghai's analysis, Jia Zhang directly mocked: "Take a ride? Where does she get the money?"

Jia Zhang said this in a decisive and decisive manner, without any hesitation.

Obviously there is some great confidence in this regard.

Lian Banggeng always had some pocket money in his hands, but when it came to Qin Huairu, he couldn't even take out money for a bus fare.

This shows how harsh the Jia family was to her.

For a moment, Yi Zhonghai and the aunt didn't know what to say.

"Sister-in-law, what if she really walked back overnight? Changping is far, but not so far that it is not necessary to take a car."

After a moment's silence, Yi Zhonghai reminded.

After a thorough analysis and discussion, there are still only two possible scenarios: one is that Qin Huairu is still nearby, and the other is that she has returned to her parents' home.

There is no other way, just look for it.

They were originally planning to mobilize everyone in the hospital to help look for it, but something went wrong just now, so they had to do it themselves.

There was no way they could go to work today, so Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu could only ask someone to take leave for them and go out to look for her first. If they couldn't find her, they would ask Jia Dongxu to go to Qin Huairu's parents' home in the afternoon to check.

After the auntie went back and closed the door, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai, both of whom were ready and about to set off, Jia Zhang suddenly said, "You guys should go out and come back early."

"Mom, you're not coming with us?"

Jia Dongxu was shocked.

"What am I going out for?"

Looking at Jia Dongxu calmly, Jia Zhang said as a matter of course: "One person must be left at home, what if Qin Huairu comes back by herself?

Besides, if I go out, who will take care of Bang Geng? He hasn’t eaten anything this morning. I have to get him something to eat. I can’t let my precious grandson go hungry…”

Jia Zhang's words sounded high-sounding, but Jia Dongxu knew very well that Jia Zhang just didn't want to go out and find someone.

Even the aunt had come out, but Jia Zhang, the mother-in-law, actually found such an excuse, which made Jia Dongxu feel a little embarrassed.

However, Jia Zhang used the stick as a shield and it was clear that she didn't want to go out, so there was nothing they could do.

Since Jia Dongxu didn't say anything, Yi Zhonghai and the aunt, as outsiders, would find it even harder to say anything.

……

the other side.

Just when Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai had discussed and started to go out to look for someone, Qin Huairu had already boarded the bus back to Changping.

Looking at the pork and pastries in her hands, and the envious looks from the passengers next to her, Qin Huairu's heart was filled with complicated feelings.

Whether it is pork or pastries, they are all good stuff.

But she wouldn't even want those things if she could help it.

These are all the “benefits” she got for her “misstep”.

Looking out the window, Qin Huairu tried hard not to think about what happened last night, but the memory was still too vivid.

How could she forget such a thing?

Qin Huairu had no idea how she got to Changping.

If the conductor hadn't reminded her when she arrived at the station, she would have almost missed her stop.

After getting off the car, Qin Huairu quickly entered the village and saw many people working in the fields. This familiar yet unfamiliar scene made Qin Huairu lose her mind again.

at the same time.

When Qin Huairu saw them, they also noticed Qin Huairu entering the village, and many people recognized her.

"Hey, isn't that Changshan's daughter, Qin Huairu?"

"I think it looks like it!"

"Didn't she get married and move to the city? Why did she come back at this time? And she's alone..."

"Could it be..."

"No, look what she is holding in her hand?"

"Qin Huairu, you're back?"

"Hey, Third Aunt..."

"..."

Seeing someone greeting her, Qin Huairu quickly raised the things in her hand, a smile appeared on her face again, and she responded with a smile.

When others asked her, Qin Huairu explained openly that she had come back to visit, and she would intentionally or unintentionally show off the pork and pastries in her hands, which made the villagers very envious. She felt like she was returning home in glory.

As a result, Qin Huairu's originally somewhat sad mood also dissipated a lot.

Qin Huairu greeted people and chatted with them from time to time, and she didn't walk fast.

Before she got home, Qin Huairu saw her two younger brothers, Qin Guangming and Qin Guangliang, running towards her.

There are three children in the Qin family. Qin Huairu is the eldest, Qin Guangming is the second and also the eldest son, who is seven years younger than Qin Huairu and is eighteen this year. The third child, Qin Guangliang, is even younger, exactly fifteen.

The reason why there is such a big age difference between the siblings is mainly because Qin's mother is not in good health. After giving birth to Qin Huairu, she became pregnant several times, but she was unable to keep the pregnancy until Qin Guangming was born.

"Sister, why are you back?"

"Where's my brother-in-law?"

"..."

Qin Guangming and Qin Guangliang were both a little surprised at Qin Huairu's sudden return. When they heard someone going to report the news, they didn't believe it. They didn't expect it to be true.

only……

Looking at the pork and pastries that Qin Huairu handed to them, Qin Guangming and Qin Guangliang were both a little bit unbelievable.

"Sister, is this for us?"

“Such fatty pork…”

"Are these not the cakes from Daohua Village?"

"Sister, you brought something back this time!"

"Go on, go back and tell mom that we're having meat for lunch today."

"..."

Seeing her two younger brothers' surprised and stunned expressions, Qin Huairu felt a little sad and directly stuffed the pork and pastries in her hand into their hands.

After getting married, she not only rarely came back, but most of the time when she came back, she came empty-handed.

Even if he did come back empty-handed one or twice, it would not be something very good, otherwise Qin Guangming and Qin Guangliang would not have reacted that way just now.

at the same time.

Looking at the pork and Daoxiangcun pastries in their hands, Qin Guangming and Qin Guangliang were still a little bit unbelievable.

Not long after.

When the three siblings returned home, their father Qin Changshan also hurried back from the fields.

"Dad, my sister is really back."

"She also brought us pork and cakes. The cakes are from Daohua Village. They are delicious. You can try them."

"Where's mom?"

"Sister said, let's have stewed meat for lunch."

"..."

Listening to his son's words and seeing the pastries handed to him, Qin Changshan's eyes fell on Qin Huairu, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

When he heard that his daughter had returned from the city alone, he was a little worried, but looking at her current situation, at least she was not unable to make a living in the city and was driven back by her in-laws.

"Dad~"

Looking at Father Qin who looked much older than the last time she saw him, Qin Huairu's eyes became slightly moist, and thousands of words finally turned into one word.

As if affected by Qin Huairu's mood, Qin Changshan felt inexplicably touched. He slightly avoided Qin Huairu's gaze and said comfortingly: "It's good that you're back. You must have had a hard time on the way, right?"

"Dad, I came here by car, it's not hard!"

Qin Huairu couldn't possibly tell here what happened in the city.

But at this moment.

Even if you don't say anything, it doesn't matter whether you feel wronged or not.

Soon, hearing the noise outside, Qin's mother also came out of the house. Seeing Qin Huairu surrounded by the father and son, she subconsciously asked, "Huairu, where is your son-in-law? Why didn't Dongxu come with you today?"

"Mom, Dongxu has to go to work!"

Qin Huairu bit her lip and didn't tell the truth.

Next, of course, is the rare warm moment of the Qin family reunion.

noon.

The whole family ate the pork brought by Qin Huairu, and also made steamed buns made of two-grain flour, which was rare.

This two-grain flour is actually a mixture of corn flour and white flour. Although it is not as good as pure white flour, it is already a great luxury to be able to use it to make steamed buns in rural areas.

Apart from anything else, being able to eat steamed bread on a regular basis is a kind of happiness and enjoyment.

When the harvest is poor, it is a blessing to have a black bun to fill your stomach.

Even though Qin Huairu was at the Jia family, she couldn't often eat steamed buns made of two grams of flour.

In the Jia family, food is divided into different levels.

Because Jia Dongxu was the only labor force in the family and Banggeng was the beloved grandson of the Jia family, they usually ate white flour buns. When white flour became insufficient from the middle of the month, they switched to eating two-grain flour buns.

Her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, mainly ate steamed buns made of two grams of flour, and supplemented them with corn bread.

When it was Qin Huairu's turn, only steamed corn bread was left.

After all, most of the white flour went into the stomachs of the three people in the Jia family, so the remaining corn flour naturally needed to be consumed by someone.

Occasionally, when there were some white flour or steamed buns made of two-grain flour left over, she would eat a little, but she would still be scolded by Jia Zhang, who said that she was deliberately making more in order to eat better and wasting the family's food.

As for the delicious dishes, they were always served to Jia Dongxu and Banggeng, with a mother-in-law watching them and trying to grab the food. As a young daughter-in-law with no status, she would probably cause her mother-in-law's dissatisfaction if she moved her chopsticks a few more times.

Don’t even think about meat or anything like that at other times. You can only have a bite during the Chinese New Year.

Even though she was the one who cooked all the meals for the Jia family all year round, whenever there was something good, her mother-in-law would always be watching and she would not have a chance to sneak a bite.

Once you are caught, there will be no peace from now on.

As a result, when she came back today, her parents treated her to delicious food and drinks.

I guess they usually don't want to eat these steamed buns made of two grams of flour.

You know, the conditions of the Qin family cannot be compared with those of the Jia family in the city.

Even when she and Jia Dongxu came back before, her parents never treated her badly.

They wanted to gain benefits from their brother-in-law and relatives, but over the years, the Jia family has never helped them at all.

While eating the steamed bun made of two grains of flour in her hand, Qin Huairu suddenly couldn't stop her tears and started crying.

"Huairu, what's wrong?"

"without!"

"It's just that I haven't eaten the steamed buns you made for a long time."

"Silly boy……"

"Damn it, we won't eat the remaining steamed buns. Let Huairu take these back to the city. Don't we still have the leftover steamed buns from this morning?"

"..."
