Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 299 Jia Zhang Teaches Daughter-in-law

Today is a rest day, and the courtyard is much busier than usual.

The children were laughing and playing in the yard, and the older generation was watching with a smile on their side. Everything was so prosperous and filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

But just because it is the middle of the month, there is still enough food at home. In a week or so, we won’t be in such a good mood.

At the Jia family, Banggeng was doing his homework while Qin Huairu was sitting on the doorstep picking out large impurities in the cornmeal, so that the steamed corn bread made would be softer and less irritating to the throat.

Qin Huairu always likes to keep herself busy, as if there is never-ending work to do.

Jia Zhang sat on the bench, hooking the soles of her shoes, and muttered quietly: "Is your cousin looking for that boy named Wang in the backyard again?"

"Yes, she said she went to ask him questions." Qin Huairu nodded:

"Jingru is lucky. She met a man who really loves her and has some abilities."

"Wang Hongtao promised to help her find a good job in the future, and he is waiting for her to learn to read and write!"

Jia Zhang understood what Qin Huairu meant and warned her with a glare: "Qin Huairu, what do you mean? Are you disgusted with me?"

"I'm telling you, Qin Huairu, you have to be grateful. If our Jia family hadn't been willing to marry you, you wouldn't be digging the soil in the countryside right now!"

"Your current workstation is still in our Jia family's! I advise you not to have any inappropriate thoughts."

Qin Huairu sneered inwardly, and was too lazy to argue with Jia Zhangshi: "Mom, what are you talking about? Banggeng is so big, what else can I think? I just feel that Jingru is lucky."

"It's best if you think this way!" Jia Zhang was relieved and continued to bury her head in the soles of her shoes: "You all came from Qinjiatun after all, so can't you think of a way to get him to help support our family?"

"Hey, mom, you don't know. When Wang Hongtao's parents were alive, they actually did a favor to our family. Or, in other words, most of the families in Qinjiatun had received favors from them at that time."

"Later, the Wang family encountered sudden difficulties. Our family did not help the two brothers when they were hungry. How can I ask for help now?" Qin Huairu said helplessly.

"Oh, that's such a pity. If only your parents had been willing to help them earlier." Jia Zhang sighed.

"What's the point of saying this now? He's already stood up. If it weren't for Jingru, he wouldn't even look at me." Qin Huairu said as she rolled her eyes at Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang was anxious: "You can't say that. No matter what, you are Jingru's cousin. Even if your bones are broken, your tendons are still connected."

"Listen to mom in the future and visit their house more often to build relationships. Just bear with what they say. No matter how bad the relationship was in the past, that's the old generation's business. I don't believe there's no way back."

"Don't hit a smiling person. Since we are from the same hometown, we are closer than ordinary people, right?"

"But... Mom, didn't you tell me last time to be careful of him and not let him take advantage of me? Why this time..." Qin Huairu hesitated.

Jia Zhang glanced at her, as if blaming her for her dullness: "I told you to be on guard against him and not let him take advantage of you. I didn't tell you not to have contact with him."

"You, if you have nothing to do, just go to his house to clean up the house, chat for a while, build relationships, etc. As long as it doesn't involve borrowing money or food, you can do anything. Don't you understand what I mean?"

Jia Zhang really trusted Wang Hongtao. In her eyes, a man as promising and capable as Wang Hongtao would never fall for Qin Huairu.

"But, helping him clean his house on weekdays is already enough for me. Isn't it inappropriate to go to his house to chat with him?" Qin Huairu frowned and seemed unhappy.

"What are you afraid of? Almost everyone in the courtyard knows about his relationship with Jingru. Who can say anything to you when you are the sister-in-law?"

Then Jia Zhang narrowed her triangular eyes and said viciously:

"Mom wants to see who dares to gossip!"

Qin Huairu felt relieved and smiled, "Actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time, but I was afraid that you would think too much. Now that you say so, I'll go for it."

"To be honest, if you want to live a good life these days, you have to find someone capable to rely on. Originally, you could still count on your uncle, but ever since he adopted Huanle and Le, he has been focusing on the two children and doesn't even care about Banggeng anymore."

Jia Zhang snorted coldly: "Yi Zhonghai is also confused. How can those two wild children without parents compare to our Bang Geng?"

"Maybe it's because they are so unlucky that they killed their parents."

Qin Huairu hurriedly looked around and lowered her voice: "Don't say that, or if the old man hears it, he will never forgive you!"

"Mom is not stupid, this is just something we say at home."

Jia Zhang paused for a moment, and then began to dislike Qin Huairu again:

"That's about it. Two bowls of cornmeal can last a whole morning. Instead of spending that time there, I might as well go talk to that kid in the backyard."

"If you have a good relationship with him and he speaks a word for you in front of the boss, are you still afraid that you won't be able to live a good life?!"

Qin Huairu nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll go over now. I usually have to go to work during the day and won't run into him, so it will be more convenient for me to rest today."

After saying that, Qin Huairu put down the corn noodles in her hand, straightened her clothes and hair before going out.

……

When Qin Huairu arrived at Wang's house, she found that she was empty-handed - Wang Hongtao was not at home, and only He Yushui and Qin Jingru were at home.

At this moment, Wang Hongtao was at the entrance of the alley, watching the fight between Bang Geng and Yan Jiekuang with great interest.

There were several other people in the yard who had the same idea as him. They just watched from the side with a frown on their faces. They neither tried to stop the fight nor reported it to the other party's family. They just wanted to watch the fun and didn't mind making trouble.

Shazhu wanted to go back to inform Qin Huairu, but Wang Hongtao locked him up and wouldn't let him go: "Shazhu, where are you going? Didn't you see that Banggeng didn't admit defeat himself? What kind of children don't fight?"

Indeed, although Banggeng is two or three years younger than Yan Jiekuang, the two are almost the same in height, and they fought back and forth for a while.

Seeing that he didn't suffer any loss from watching the show, Shazhu gave up the idea of ​​calling his parents and just watched it with Wang Hongtao with great interest.

"Go ahead, Bang Geng, go ahead and do it!"

“Oh, it’s so ugly, it’s really so ugly…” Sha Zhu wanted to give some advice at first, but in the end he could only shake his head.

In Sha Zhu's opinion, the performance of the two players on the field was just a fight between noobs. Both of them had no experience and only knew how to hold each other's waist and exert strength. What use could that be?

Just then, Qin Huairu came over, saw them and hurried forward to separate the two.

"Banggeng, how can you fight with others?" Qin Huairu asked angrily.

Bang Geng glared at Yan Jiekuang with hatred and said, "Yan Jiekuang was the first to start!"

Yan Jiekuang was not to be outdone and snorted, "Who told you to snatch Jie Di's snacks!"

Bang Geng's neck stiffened, "I don't have it, Jie Di gave it to me!"

"You're talking nonsense, Jie Di never gives snacks to others!" Yan Jiekuang retorted.

Hearing this, Qin Huairu immediately understood what had happened. It must have been her own Bang Geng who had snatched Jie Di's snacks first, which led to Jie Kuang fighting with him.

Will the children of the Yan family give Banggeng snacks?

How is that possible!

Just when she was about to pull Banggen away to calm things down, the third aunt rushed over angrily, followed by the crying Yan Jiedi.
