Chapter 147 Qin Huairu's alienation, the father of the thief, Jia Dongxu

"Hey, Dongxu, why did your hand become like this?"

"It's all bleeding... Quick! Go back and deal with it."

"Even if you are unhappy, you can't take it out on your body!"

"Dongxu, don't blame me. I'm doing this for your own good."

"..."

Hearing Jia Dongxu's screams, Jia Zhang hurried over.

Seeing that his hand was broken and bleeding, Jia Zhang felt distressed. While showing concern and comforting him, she also explained what had just happened.

However, Jia Dongxu had a sullen face and said nothing.

Just now, at a meeting of the entire hospital, in front of so many people in the hospital, Jia Zhang not only refused to give the money, but also lost his face.

Wang Weiguo felt extremely aggrieved that a few words from an unrelated outsider had more effect than those from his own son.

And Jia Zhang's attitude, even if it was instigated by Wang Weiguo, also showed that she did not trust herself.

Jia Dongxu was not only angry at Wang Weiguo, but also at his biological mother Jia Zhang for being so disloyal.

In front of so many people in the yard, he was not given any face at all.

After returning home, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but said to Jia Zhang: "Mom, I don't blame you for not wanting to use your private money to subsidize the family, but you have to help this month, right?

The food in the house is only enough for one day, and now all the money in the house is with you. If you don’t take it out, the whole family will starve together.”

"Hey, what do you mean all the family money is with me?"

At the moment, Jia Zhang was very sensitive. When she heard what Jia Dongxu said, she started to cry out like a cat whose foot was stepped on.

The family's money is the family's money, and her private money is her private money. They are two completely different things. How can they be confused?

After Jia Dongxu said this, Jia Zhang felt that this private money was no longer hers.

"mom!"

Jia Dongxu's face darkened.

Seeing that Jia Dongxu was angry, Jia Zhang quickly said, "Okay, okay, Mom won't say anything more."

There is no point in arguing with Jia Dongxu about this now, so Jia Zhang decisively chose to compromise.

"Then this money..."

"How about you ask your master for some help?"

Seeing that he hadn't finished speaking yet, Jia Zhang couldn't wait to start making excuses. Jia Dongxu felt so aggrieved that he wanted to slap himself.

Nowhere to vent!

He had already agreed not to ask Jia Zhang for financial subsidies in the future, but Jia Zhang was unwilling to give him even this month's money. Jia Dongxu almost couldn't help but bang his head against the wall and die.

This life is so fucking painful!
Fortunately, he was just thinking about it and didn't dare to really do it. Jia Dongxu still regretted the punch he just punched the wall. It hurt so much!

Frustrated, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to say, "Mom, I've already asked my master for help once this month. Did you forget? That time when he was robbed by a robber. How can I have the nerve to ask for it again?"

"Isn't this robbed? This help is equivalent to nothing. Do you want to try and talk to your master?"

Jia Zhang couldn't help but probe.

If possible, she really didn't want to take out money.

"I'm not going!"

Jia Dongxu refused without even thinking about it.

In fact, he had asked Yi Zhonghai for help more than once this month. The five dollars he paid back on behalf of Qin Huairu's parents last time was just that. It was just that Jia Zhang didn't know about it.

What's more, a few days ago, his master helped him pay back fifty yuan to Wang Weiguo. How could he have the nerve to mention it again?
More importantly, this is not his real purpose.

"Mom, are you still my real mother?"

"You even calculated this?"

"You're not going to eat next?"

"Or do you plan to separate from us and start your own business?"

"If that's the case, then I won't stop you. We can live our own lives then."

"..."

Jia Dongxu was so angry!
I suddenly felt a sense of frustration that my mother was not as good as I thought.

Hearing Jia Dongxu even mention the division of the family, Jia Zhang also panicked and quickly gave in, saying, "Mom will give you the money, Mom will give it to you!"

Seeing that Jia Zhang compromised, Jia Dongxu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The words about dividing the family were naturally spoken in anger.

He would never take that step unless it was absolutely necessary, because he would be criticized and even the street officials would come to his door.

"mom!"

"Hey!"

"It's okay if you don't use your private money to support the family, but there are some things I need to make clear to you first. Starting from next month, I will not give you your pension money, and you will have to pay for the painkillers yourself."

"Hey, Dongxu, didn't we just agree that..."

"Just now? Did you talk about these things just now? Didn't you talk about using your private money to subsidize the family? You don't agree!"

"Besides, starting from next month, my monthly salary will be 18 yuan, not the original 33 yuan. If you take another 3 yuan for pension and buy medicine for you, what will we eat and drink? We can't starve to death, right?"

"Dongxu, how about this? Mom doesn't want three dollars for retirement money for now. Can you give me one dollar for now? I can still buy medicine the same as before. Anyway, you and Huairu bought it for me..."

"Mom! Didn't you say that you would accompany me to overcome difficulties and get through the hard times together? Why are you still only thinking about yourself at this time? Is this how you accompany me through the hard times?"

"..."

Jia Zhang was simply silenced by Jia Dongxu.

Originally, Jia Dongxu was already very dissatisfied with the fact that she did not use her own private money to subsidize the expenses. If she insisted on asking for pension money and reimbursement of medicine money, Jia Dongxu would make a fuss and no one would give her a way out.

"Dongxu, Mom won't mention this anymore."

The two were silent for a moment, and Jia Zhang took the initiative to give in.

This result is hard to accept, but not that hard to accept.

In fact, Jia Zhang knew clearly in her heart that given the current situation of their family, it was indeed not suitable for her to receive pension money anymore.

soon.

Jia Zhang seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said to Jia Dongxu excitedly: "Dongxu, you are now earning 18 yuan a month. There are four people in our family. On average, each person's monthly income and expenses are less than 5 yuan. We can apply to the street for poverty alleviation!
As long as this poor household's application is approved, we will receive poverty subsidies and our lives will be easier."

"Mom, I don't think this is necessary."

When Jia Dongxu heard this, his face turned unhappy and he refused directly: "My demotion to the workshop is only temporary. It won't take long. I will be back to the workshop soon. By then, even if the poverty-stricken households apply for it, it will still be cancelled. Why bother with this?"

Jia Dongxu was aware that there were subsidies for poor households, but he was unwilling to do so.

It's not that he is noble or self-reliant, but that he feels ashamed.

The several poor households in the yard are either old, weak, or sick. How embarrassed would it be for him, a healthy young man, to become a poor household like those people?
By then, people like Wang Weiguo, Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng will laugh at him to death, right?
Jia Dongxu can't afford to lose face like this.

Of course.

There is also the reason he just mentioned.

In Jia Dongxu's opinion, it is only a matter of time before he returns to the workshop after the transformation, and it may not take long.

He has already made up his mind to perform well next time, so how could he not go back?
This is naturally Jia Dongxu's mysterious confidence.

But Jia Zhang didn't think so.

"Dongxu, if you want to take advantage of this opportunity, it would be great. Even if it's just a month's allowance, I won't mind it!"

While Jia Zhang was expressing her inner thoughts, she also encouraged them, "Besides, if they are poor households, there are other benefits, such as odd jobs assigned by the street. Then, Huairu can make matchboxes or something to supplement her household expenses."

After these words were spoken, Qin Huairu next to her couldn't help but glance at Jia Zhang.

If it were in the past, Qin Huairu might be very happy, after all, this would bring more income to the family and the family could live a better life.

But she just clearly noticed that Jia Zhang was talking about letting her make matchboxes alone, not the two of them doing it together.

really!

In the eyes of her mother-in-law, Qin Huairu is just a person who works hard all day long.

The key is to eat the worst coarse grains.

Qin Huairu could endure all this in the past, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about it, nor does it mean she can endure it endlessly.

If so many things hadn't happened at home recently, especially the appearance of Wang Weiguo, maybe it would be possible. But there are no ifs in this world.

"talk later!"

Jia Dongxu knew that what Jia Zhang said made sense, but the dilemma between benefits and face made him feel upset.

"No more talk." Jia Zhang was unhappy and said directly, "Go and tell your master about this now and ask them to help our family apply for poverty-stricken households from the street, otherwise I will not give you money this month."

"Okay, give me the money first!"

When Jia Dongxu, who had just resisted applying for a poor household, heard the words "Jia Zhangshi took the money", his eyes flashed and he agreed directly.

"You go first, I'll give you the money later."

"No, you give it first, go get it now!"

"Right now... Dongxu, get out first!"

"Huai Ru, you get out too!"

"And Bang Geng, it's still early, go out and play for a while and come back later."

"..."

When Jia Zhang came to withdraw money, the three of them were driven out, even the five-year-old Banggeng was no exception. Jia Dongxu was annoyed.

What was he trying to achieve by going through so much trouble just now?

I was just taking some private money, but even my own mother was so wary of me.

"Dad, what are you looking at?"

Noticing that Jia Dongxu was looking inside through the crack in the door, the five-year-old boy asked curiously and started to learn from him.

Jia Dongxu said in a low voice, somewhat irritably, "Go away, keep your voice down, and don't come here to make trouble."

Seeing this, Qin Huairu had no choice but to step forward and pull the stick away.

Jia Dongxu's behavior actually made Qin Huairu guess something, especially when Jia Dongxu just came back in the evening and asked her if she knew where Jia Zhang hid her private money.

It is obvious that Jia Dongxu might be planning these things.

After discovering this situation, Qin Huairu felt a little uneasy and didn't know what to do.

Not long after.

When Jia Zhang came out, Jia Dongxu, who had gained nothing, put away his disappointed expression and returned to his serious look.

"Only five dollars?"

When Jia Dongxu found out that Jia Zhang only handed him five dollars, he looked a little surprised.

He thought that even if Jia Zhang didn't give out ten dollars, there would be at least eight dollars, but he didn't expect that there was not even that much.

"talent?"

Jia Zhang was somewhat uncomfortable with the loss of money in the treasury, and said unhappily, "Five dollars is not a small amount. It's almost the end of the month, and there are only a few days left. It's enough for us to eat.

And next we have to learn to save money and adapt in advance, and we can't go back to the way we were before.

Dongxu, I think you should stop drinking for a while.

When you return to the workshop, I will raise your salary and we will talk about it then."

"Mom, I just like to drink a little wine..."

Jia Zhang wanted him to quit drinking, but Jia Dongxu found it a little hard to accept.

"This is a special situation. How can it be compared with the past? I don't even want my pension money anymore. I have to buy painkillers myself. What's wrong with you drinking less?"

Although Jia Zhang had accepted that Jia Dongxu did not give her any private money or reimburse her for painkillers, she was obviously still feeling a little resentful.

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu didn't know what to say.

Watching the love-hate relationship between Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu, the mother and son, Qin Huairu suddenly felt that the scene was a bit funny.

Just in time for the whole family to move out, Jia Zhang simply took Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu to find Yi Zhonghai and told him about applying to be a poor household.

Yi Zhonghai naturally had no intention of objecting to this matter, and immediately assured: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will find time to go over there, tell the street about your situation, and help you apply."

"Okay, I'll trouble you, uncle."

Jia Zhang hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

When she is not making a fuss or asking for help from others, Jia Zhang is actually quite polite.

When seeing them off, Yi Zhonghai encouraged Jia Dongxu in front of Jia Zhang.

At the whole school meeting in the evening, when Jia Dongxu was accused of being unmotivated and lazy, although no one attacked his master, he might be criticized behind his back for being irresponsible.

Yi Zhonghai felt that he was affected and was very depressed. He could only "prove" himself a little in front of the Jia family, especially Jia Zhang.

Jia Dongxu’s unwillingness to make progress has nothing to do with his master, he has still done his part.

The group returned home.

Not much was said. After the commotion, Jia Zhang was obviously a little tired and soon fell asleep on her bed.

As Bang Geng also fell asleep, Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu's pretty face and said with some emotion: "Huairu, we haven't had that for a long time, right?"

A lot of things have happened during this period of time, especially since Qin Huairu ran back to her parents' home last time. He and Qin Huairu have not had a normal married life for a long time. Jia Dongxu obviously missed it.

But Qin Huairu pretended not to understand and said, "It's getting late, go to bed early, you still have to go to work tomorrow!"

She was obviously not in the mood for this at the moment, and she was tired after being pampered and worked hard by Wang Weiguo for half the night last night. She had no time to care about Jia Dongxu.

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu's face darkened. Seeing that Qin Huairu's reaction was a little cold, he did not get angry.

He didn't dare to force it.

Otherwise, if Qin Huairu resists and alarms the neighbors, it will be a lot of fun.

Jia Dongxu suppressed his rising sexual interest, felt a little angry, and quietly went to sleep on the other side.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this.

Now she didn't want to do that kind of thing with Jia Dongxu at all. On the one hand, Jia Dongxu was no match for Wang Weiguo and could not satisfy her at all.

And if she said that to Jia Dongxu, it would arouse her guilt towards Jia Dongxu. After all, she was no longer the pure wife who belonged to him alone.

It took a lot of courage to refuse just now.

The two people were on the left and the right, with a stick in between them. They quickly turned off the lights and prepared to rest.

However, Qin Huairu was somewhat unable to sleep.

Jia Dongxu is her husband. Even Qin Huairu herself did not expect that she would actually refuse Jia Dongxu's request, and she even felt relieved after refusing.

This is totally wrong.

But even though she knew it was wrong, Qin Huairu still did it.

She even started to worry about what she should do if Jia Dongxu made such a request to her again next time.
As she was thinking, Qin Huairu suddenly discovered a very strange and abnormal situation.

Jia Dongxu was unusually quiet today, without even a snoring sound.

After observing silently for a while, Qin Huairu found that although Jia Dongxu's breathing sounded even, he was obviously not asleep.

"Dongxu!"

"Dongxu?"

"..."

After calling him a few times tentatively, Qin Huairu found that Jia Dongxu still didn't move at all, and he didn't look angry or ignoring her at all, as if he was really asleep. She realized that something was fishy.

Thinking of the abnormal behavior Jia Dongxu exhibited after returning tonight, Qin Huairu calmed down. Soon she imitated Jia Dongxu and began to pretend to sleep with even breathing.

Shortly after.

Jia Dongxu, who had been "asleep", suddenly sat up from the bed, called out to Qin Huairu in a low voice a few times, and only got down from the bed after finding that she had no response.

After coming outside and looking at Jia Zhang who was snoring loudly, Jia Dongxu confirmed again. Then he groped in the dark and began to search the house tiptoe.

At this time, Qin Huairu, who had been pretending to be asleep, had opened her eyes. Thinking about Jia Dongxu's actions just now, plus the noise of him rummaging around the house, Qin Huairu had confirmed her original guess and completely understood Jia Dongxu's purpose.

While being shocked by Jia Dongxu's boldness, Qin Huairu herself was also confused.

But after thinking and struggling for a long time, Qin Huairu finally lay on the bed without moving, pretending that she had not noticed anything, and closed her eyes again.

The less trouble, the better.

Because Qin Huairu discovered that even if she "woke up" now, she would not be able to stop Jia Dongxu, and might even alarm her mother-in-law, and then there would be no way to end it.

But Qin Huairu's heart was full of worries. She had a premonition that something big was probably going to happen at home.
