Chapter 93 The unscrupulous Jia family and the wronged young wife
"Brother, look at what you have done!"

After standing outside for a while, He Yushui returned to the room and couldn't help but complain to Sha Zhu who was lying on the bed.

In fact, this sentence was not only said to Sha Zhu, but also said to He Yushui himself.

The more He Yushui thought about it, the more he felt that the brother and sister had let the Wang family down.

Although this happened many years ago, and Wang Weiguo's parents never mentioned it, nor did they say they were wrong for it, the right and wrong are there, and anyone can see it clearly.

In the past, He Yushui was young and might not understand such profound principles. In addition, he had no say and could not do anything. But now that he has grown up and gradually understood things, he can no longer pretend that this incident never happened.

Especially since Wang Weiguo had just said it to his face, although it was mainly directed at his own brother Sha Zhu, He Yushui, as one of the people who had been taken care of and helped back then, did not feel good about it.

After a moment of silence, Sha Zhu finally sighed, as if he had made up his mind, and said slowly: "Yushui, when I get better, I will go and apologize to Wang Weiguo. When Uncle Wang and the others come back from the northwest, I will personally go to their house to apologize!"

Sha Zhu had already made up his mind about what Wang Weiguo said, but for the sake of face, he had chosen to pretend to be ignorant. Now that he could no longer pretend, he could only choose a more decent approach.

Although he is a reckless person, Sha Zhu has always believed that he is a man who knows clearly about gratitude and resentment, and he would never do anything "against his conscience".

Lose your share!

After admitting his mistake, no matter whether Wang Weiguo and his parents accept it or not, he can still be a man himself. But if he insists on not admitting it, he will never be able to raise his head in front of Wang Weiguo and the Wang family.

As Wang Weiguo said, what he has done in recent years, especially after Wang Weiguo's parents went to the Northwest to provide aid, is really unacceptable.

If this gets out, even if he doesn't repay kindness with enmity, he will be labeled as ungrateful.

"Brother, I'll accompany you then."

Hearing what Sha Zhu said, He Yushui breathed a sigh of relief and also expressed his opinion.

She was really afraid that Sha Zhu would continue to be stubborn.

As long as Sha Zhu is willing to bow his head, this matter will be easy to handle.

……

Jia family.

Just as Wang Weiguo left Sha Zhu's house, Jia Zhang, who was hiding behind the window and peeking, also withdrew her gaze.

Turning back, Jia Zhang said suspiciously to Jia Dongxu who was drinking in the room: "What on earth is Wang Weiguo doing? He left your master's house and went to Sha Zhu's house. When did their relationship become so good?
I heard that when Sha Zhu was hospitalized, Wang Weiguo sent some fruits to He Yushui and asked her to deliver them to Sha Zhu. Is there something wrong with Wang Weiguo's brain?

This idiot Zhu usually doesn't get along with him and often mocks him. What does Wang Weiguo want?"

Jia Zhang thought about it over and over again, but just couldn't figure it out.

"What do you want?" After taking a sip of wine, Jia Dongxu sneered, "Of course I came here to see a joke. Do you think Wang Weiguo is really that kind?"

Judging from his own experience, when Wang Weiguo went to "visit" the injured Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu could not think of anything other than watching the joke and gloating over his misfortune.

As for sending fruits to Sha Zhu through He Yushui before, it may not be out of kindness. Maybe he had some purpose, or he was plotting against Sha Zhu.

However, thinking of what Jia Zhang said just now, Jia Dongxu suddenly asked: "Mom, you said Wang Weiguo went to my master's house just now?"

"Yes!" Jia Zhang nodded, wondering, "He stayed in there for quite a while, and when he came out, he was still smiling. I don't know what he was so happy about..."

What good can come of it?
Listening to what Jia Zhang said, Jia Dongxu's face darkened as if he had thought of something.

Jia Dongxu thought of the bicycle ticket that Yi Zhonghai had given to Wang Weiguo before.

Although it was done to appease and confer the title of King of Weiguo, it made him feel very unbalanced.

I am his biological disciple!

I'm afraid he got some benefits again?

Although it seemed unlikely, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but think about it.

Jia Dongxu lost interest in drinking, so he stood up and said, "I'll go see my master."

"Dongxu..."

"Why are you yelling? You are the only one who has too many things to do! If you have the time to spare, why don't you go back to your parents' home and get back the hundred dollars you lent us."

"I……"

"..."

Qin Huai was numb.

When she heard Jia Dongxu say he was going to find Yi Zhonghai, she just called him and didn't say anything before her mother-in-law started scolding her.

Faced with this situation, Qin Huairu couldn't help but look to Jia Dongxu for help, but Jia Dongxu turned a blind eye to her, which made Qin Huairu feel even more aggrieved.

In the past few days, because of the one hundred yuan incident, she had been treated with contempt by her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, in the Jia family. But her husband had to endure it and cut off all ties with her, which made her feel heartbroken.

After wiping away her tears, Qin Huairu raised her head, looked at her mother-in-law Jia Zhang and said, "Mother-in-law, it's useless for you to force me. Our family can't afford so much money now."

"What, you want to default on your debt?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she stared in amazement.

Fearing that Qin Huairu could not bear the pressure and would directly reveal the matter, Jia Dongxu, who had remained silent just now, quickly spoke up to "persuade": "Mom, why are you so anxious? Huairu didn't say she wouldn't return it."

While speaking, Jia Dongxu kept winking at Qin Huairu, making it obvious that he wanted her to shut up.

Qin Huairu saw this and gritted her teeth, saying to Jia Zhang: "Mom, how about this? Let Dongxu talk to the uncle and ask if he can help our family find a job like pasting matchboxes in the street? I will do the job, and the money I earn will be used as my repayment for our family."

Jia Dongxu was a little surprised when he heard this, and his eyes lit up.

Jia Dongxu immediately cast an admiring look at Qin Huairu and nodded, "I think it's okay!"

In this way, Jia Zhangshi would not keep holding on to the hundred yuan.

"What's your business?"

however.

Jia Zhang frowned, looked at Qin Huairu, and warned her unhappily, "Qin Huairu, don't forget, you are a member of our Jia family now.

A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. The money you earn naturally belongs to our Jia family. You are really bold to use our family's money to pay off the debt owed by your family!
So in the end, you, the Qin family, took a hundred dollars from us for nothing. What's the difference between you and your family?"

Jia Zhang's words made Qin Huairu completely numb.

If this doesn't work, what else can she do?
We can't let her really ask her parents for this, can we?

"Mom, that's enough."

Jia Dongxu also knew that he couldn't push Qin Huairu too hard, otherwise he would end up in trouble, so he advised Jia Zhangshi, "You know the situation of my father-in-law's family. Qin Huairu has been in our family for so many years. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. You can't be so heartless.

Besides, Huairu's doing this also proves that she is filial, won't it be the same for you in the future?"

After hearing this, Jia Zhang's expression eased a little, but she continued, "Since Dongxu said so, I agree, but the accounts cannot be calculated this way. The money earned from pasting matchboxes should be divided into four parts, and the stick stems also count as one part. Qin Huairu, you can only pay back your share, and the rest belongs to our Jia family."

"Row!"

Pursing her lips, Qin Huairu could only agree.

Anyway, the money earned will belong to their family in the end. What else can Qin Huairu, who doesn’t get anything herself, say?

She just hoped that Jia Zhang, her mother-in-law, would stop being sarcastic to her. Worried that Qin Huairu would only focus on making money and leave the housework to her, Jia Zhang quickly reminded her and added, "But I've said in advance that even if you take the job, you can't fall behind in cleaning, washing and cooking at home."

"Mom, don't worry, I won't delay these."

Qin Huairu promised tiredly.

She didn't dare to hope that her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, could help her share any burden.

"Okay then, Dongxu, go quickly!"

When she thought about her private money and a new income source, Jia Zhang became a little excited and couldn't help urging Jia Dongxu.

soon.

Jia Dongxu took Qin Huairu out and came to Yi Zhonghai's house.

The reason why he brought Qin Huairu along was because Jia Dongxu felt that as a grown man, it was difficult for him to talk about such things.

Shame!

It makes him seem like a grown man who is incompetent and cannot support his family.

"Master, did Wang Weiguo come here just now? What did he come for? Is he causing trouble for you again?"

As soon as he arrived at the door, Jia Dongxu started talking directly.

He was not stupid, and he was testing her by showing concern.

Yi Zhonghai did not have too much suspicion. He felt warm in his heart and said, "Nothing. I just came to apologize to me. I said that I offended me a few days ago and I feel bad..."

He certainly couldn't tell anyone about the blackmail by He Daqing and Wang Weiguo, so Yi Zhonghai simply thought of a more decent excuse.

"Is he that kind?"

Jia Dongxu didn't believe it.

He just heard what Jia Zhang said. Wang Weiguo went out with a smile on his face.

If he really came to apologize, what would his reaction be?

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to talk more about this matter. He looked directly at Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu in front of him and changed the subject: "Dongxu, Huairu, what's the matter with you coming here at this time?"

"Master, it's like this. Huairu doesn't have much to do at home. Isn't there some odd jobs on the street? Can you help talk to the street and ask them to give our family some, so that Huairu can have something to do and not get bored."

Obviously, he wanted Qin Huairu to take some odd jobs to help him pay off his debts, but Jia Dongxu, who was too concerned about his reputation, said these high-sounding words, making it seem as if Qin Huairu was doing nothing at home all day, like a lazy wife who did nothing.

In fact, the mother-in-law Jia Zhang basically does no work, not to mention the grown man Jia Dongxu, who has to take care of all the household affairs.

Qin Huairu had to take care of the old and the young in the Jia family, and also serve Jia Dongxu, the "head of the family". She got up early every day and was busy until the evening.

But since Jia Dongxu had said so, Qin Huairu couldn't refute it, for fear that he would lose face and take his anger out on her.

Hearing his apprentice's request, Yi Zhonghai said with embarrassment: "Dongxu, you also know that these odd jobs on the street are specially assigned to poor households. Your family does not meet the conditions, so I really have no way to help."

Just as Yi Zhonghai said, although these odd jobs assigned by the street every month are piecemeal and don't earn much money, they are all for taking care of residents with difficult family conditions and not everyone can take them.

Poverty-stricken households are a threshold standard.

The current poverty income standard is five yuan per capita. The Jia family now has four people, and Jia Dongxu's monthly salary is 27.5 yuan. Although it is not high, it does not meet this standard at all.

"Uncle, you are the manager of our hospital, please help talk to the street office!"

"As you know, our family's situation has been tough lately."

"You helped me pay back fifty yuan of the one hundred yuan I owed Wang Weiguo a few days ago. I had to use my sewing machine to pay off the remaining fifty yuan."

"It would be great if I could get some work from the street to supplement my family income."

"Please, uncle, please help me!"

"..."

Qin Huairu became anxious when she heard Yi Zhonghai’s refusal.

They had already agreed on this. If this plan didn't work, her mother-in-law would definitely not let it go, and she would start suffering again.

"Huai Ru, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this matter is not something I can decide."

Yi Zhonghai was also worried.

At this time, the higher Qin Huairu praised him, the more uncomfortable he felt.

It’s okay if we usually live in a courtyard.

He is just a small uncle in the management office, not even a temporary worker in the street. Where does Yi Zhonghai get this power?

Qin Huairu obviously overestimated him.

Even though he usually hopes that everyone thinks of him this way, he still gets a headache when he really encounters something he can't do.

But it would be fine for others, but since his apprentice and his wife came to him and told him about their difficulties, he couldn't just say something. He immediately said to the lady, "Guihua, go get five dollars."

"Hey!"

This was something she had already gotten used to, but maybe it was because she had just given Wang Weiguo 580 yuan, the old lady felt her heart bleeding.

Every day, I just spend money.

"Master, that's not what I meant."

Jia Dongxu was also a little anxious.

He really didn't come here to ask for help this time.

Moreover.

Although five dollars is a lot of money, it can't solve the problem at all. I will still make a fuss when I go back to my mother.

"Take it!" Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Master can only help you this much, there is really no other way."

People have been crying poor recently, and even Yi Zhonghai himself feels a little tired.

It's not easy to pretend to be poor.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu had no choice but to take the five dollars and go back.

But even so, neither of them felt happy at all.

After going out.

Jia Dongxu put the five dollars away and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, don't tell mom about the five dollars when you go back. As for the rest, just tell the truth."

"Dongxu..."

Qin Huairu, who instantly understood Jia Dongxu's thoughts, was stunned.
