Chapter 4: Silly Zhu Wants to Turn the World Upside Down?

ouse and shouted, “Second Master! Second Master!”Liu Haizhong had heard his wife calling for him outside earlier. Hearing her voice, he waddled out with his large belly and said in a deep voice, “What...Qin Huaiyu was a bit flustered. She took two steps back and stubbornly said, "Silly Zhu, don't talk nonsense! Xu Damai has nothing to do with our family..."

He Yuzhu was too lazy to watch her continue performing, and snorted coldly: "Don't try that on me. We are all adults, you really don't have a clue what someone is thinking How did he say it last time when we were cooking together He wanted me to help buy food, just one word from Qin sister."

"To put it plainly, this grandson is just eyeing your body. He sees that I'm close to your family and often bring you food, so he thinks I'm getting in the way of his plans and is angry Otherwise, why would he be picking a fight with me like this Didn't I beat him up plenty before Why does he have to insist on making me pay him this time"

He's just trying to pressure you into submission. If you really end up needing him, given his personality, what do you think he'll do

"Besides, Qin Jie, you found me because you think I'm soft-hearted and easy to manipulate. Even if I get taken advantage of, I won't ask for anything unreasonable from you, right"

"Today, I finally understand. This goddamn thing isn't about bullying honest people, is it What have I done to deserve this Did I offend anyone or dig up someone's ancestral grave Why am I being treated like this"

Qin Huaiyu's face flushed red at this blunt statement. How could Silly Zhu say such a thing

She gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes: "Shazhu, do you really think I'm that kind of person What happened with my Dongxu and you back then...."

Before she could finish her words, He Yuzhu interrupted with a wave of his hand: "We don't need to bring this up. When my sister and I were struggling, I never saw your family's Dongxu extend a helping hand with even a few grains of food. As for what kind of person your mother-in-law is, you know it yourself. There's no accounting for such things!"

"Don't get so close to me, calling me 'Silly Zhu' like that. People would think we were best friends if they didn't know better!"

"To tell you the truth, I was blinded by lard and had to force myself to eat with you. Well, in the end, I didn't get any discounts and ended up smelling like fish! From now on, let's go our separate ways so that Xu Damao's son doesn't cause me trouble again!"

Now Qin Huaiyu is truly panicking, supporting her family on her meager wages is really a struggle. If Shazhu truly refuses to help, how will she get by in the future

She grabbed He Yuzhu's sleeve: "Silly... brother, Zhuzi, Qin Jie represents them to say sorry to you. After all, you are a grown man, shouldn't you just let go of this old grudge with our family of widows and orphans"

Seeing Qin Huaiyu's tears welling up, He Yuzhu reached out and gently pinched her round chin. He said coaxingly: "Alright, we are all neighbors, don't say I'm not being kind. Today's two lunch boxes will be the last."

"As for talking about feelings... well, I, He Yuzhu, am not heartless. But there's one rule I have to lay down first: in this world, there's no such thing as free food. Think it over, then give me a straight answer!"

That meaning is crystal clear, don't pretend to be innocent here, let's cut to the chase. If you want something, it's not impossible, but you have to pay the price!

Want to be a freeloader

Not a clue!

Qin Huaiyu turned her head and broke free from He Yuzhu's hand, whispering, "Zhuzi, don't do this."

He Yuzhu immediately let go of his hand and shrugged, smiling: "This is best. I'll save myself the trouble."

“Now even the rainwater has gone to work at the textile factory. I earn around forty yuan a month in the state-run enterprise, and there are some odd jobs available outside. Plus, I have this large ancestral home. What kind of partner couldn't I find Ignoring your whole family, my life will only get better!”

“As for Qin Jie, you’re different. Let’s not mention anything else, what kind of personality does Jia Po have If she found out that she couldn't get the lunchboxes from me anymore, wouldn't she turn her face on you Do you believe me You’ve opened this can of worms with her, and she’ll force you to come to me begging! Think about how you’re going to explain things to her nicely. Or maybe you could try finding someone else”

Qin Huaiyu felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this, and she was too disheartened to dwell on He Yuzhu's previous inappropriate advances. She grabbed two lunchboxes and walked back home with heavy steps, lost in thought.

........

The Jia family.

Jia Zhang sat composedly at the table. When Qin Huaiyu came back, she didn't even give her a good look.

She wasn't a stranger to widowhood, and she knew Qin Huairu was suffering. Besides, she was young and beautiful, so the old woman was truly afraid that she would think of remarrying.

Xiaodang and Huaihua are both money-losers, she doesn't care at all. The problem is that when the time comes, she will be an old woman with no job supporting her grandchildren, how can she survive

So you have to keep an eye on your daughter-in-law and make sure she doesn't get involved with unsavory men!

However, she didn't object to Qin Huairu running to Zhu's house. Anyway, the kid was just a cowardly fellow with a heart of a thief. He wouldn't do anything excessive, not to mention that he could still bring her food boxes and add fuel to her fire.

As long as I keep a close eye on them, these two won't be able to make any waves!

Jia Zhangshi thought to herself as she opened the two lunchboxes. Bargeng, quick as a flash, used his chopsticks to snatch the two slices of meat floating on top and put them into his bowl.

Xiaodang also wanted to reach for the chopsticks, but Jia Zhangshi immediately glared at him and shouted, "Eat eat eat, all you know is to eat! You good-for-nothing want to eat meat too Want to eat Have your mother buy it for you!"

Xiao Dan was startled and froze in place.

Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Jia Zhang was even more displeased, you Qin Huaiyu can do this You've become too long-tempered!

After picking the tofu from the lunchbox into her own bowl, the old woman glared and said: "You're putting on a show for who Why did you take so long today What were you doing at Silly Zhu's place"

"Huai-Ju, don't blame me for speaking harshly, without our Dong-Xu, you'd still be toiling in the countryside now! You were born into the Jia family, even after death, you have to go down and continue serving as Dong-Xu's wife!"

"When I heard what her mother-in-law was saying, Qin Huaiyu bit her lip and spoke: “Mom, where are you going with this Just now, Silly... Zhuzi said that from today onwards, he will no longer bring us lunchboxes!"

"What!"

Upon hearing this, not only did Jia Zhang's facade crumble, even the fragrant potato slices on her plate started to chatter along.

What is Sha Zhu thinking about

This lunch box wasn't always kept for themselves, he Silly Zhu is going to turn the world upside downmind isn't much bigger than a pinprick, and the next day he teamed up with our cafeteria director to give me trouble.""This grandson purposely came to the kitchen of the dining hall to try and start a...
