Jia Zhangshi has never made any sense!
Listening to the accusations from the people in the courtyard, she shouted back, "What do you know? There are only two of us in this room, me and that ungrateful girl! If it wasn't her, could it be that I fell off the kang by myself? Look at my face, look at it!"
As she touched her face, it was burning with pain, and her hand was covered in blood!
Of course, the crowd didn't believe Jia Zhangshi's words. Aunt Yi turned to Qin Huairu and asked, "Huairu, what on earth happened?"
"Wuwu~ Aunt Yi, I didn't do anything! I really didn't! I just finished washing the dishes outside and came in with something, and saw Mom fall off the kang. I wanted to help her, but I didn't make it in time. She got up and said I kicked her! I'm five months pregnant, how could I kick her?"
Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, the crowd chimed in, "That's right, Sister Jia! Huairu isn't that kind of person. Besides, look at her, she's pregnant and carrying things. How could she kick you?"
It was certain that she had been kicked, but now her back was also hurting, and it was intentional by He Yucheng, who had kicked her with the side of his shoe, leaving no marks on her back.
Meanwhile, He Yushui was watching the commotion outside the Jia family, and He Yucheng couldn't help but smirk; this was exactly the effect he wanted!
One said she was kicked, the other said it wasn't her fault, and the Jia family was in chaos because of this. Little Dang was crying loudly at home~ The noise seemed endless, and He Yucheng was prepared for it, calling out to He Yushui. The two siblings stood at their doorstep, eating while watching the commotion!
"Brother, this is really satisfying!"
Seeing He Yushui's gloating expression, He Yucheng smiled and said, "Just watch, don't get involved!"
Aunt Yi, who often went to the hospital for check-ups due to her poor health, had heard about high blood pressure causing dizziness, so she mentioned it casually!
"Old sister-in-law? Did you see Huairu kick you with your own eyes?"
Jia Zhangshi hadn't seen anything; she still didn't know what was going on, but she needed a scapegoat.
"There are only two of us in this room; if it wasn't that wretched girl, could it be Little Dang?"
"Old sister-in-law, think about it. At that moment, you probably didn't know what was happening, did you? You fell to the ground for no reason. I suspect it might be high blood pressure causing dizziness, which is due to being overweight. You need to exercise more, eat more vegetables and fruits, and less greasy and salty food."
Less greasy food? How could she even think about that? The family relied on her eldest son to earn money, with a monthly salary of just over twenty yuan, and only three taels of meat coupons. She was almost forgetting the taste of meat!
But then she thought, maybe it really wasn't Qin Huairu who kicked her. In an instant, she felt herself losing control and falling down. Could it really be as Aunt Yi said, that it was high blood pressure causing dizziness and then she fell?
Thinking of this, Jia Zhangshi suddenly felt that it might indeed be the reason, and she really misunderstood Qin Huairu. However, she was Qin Huairu's mother-in-law, and in her understanding, under Yi Zhonghai's intentional teachings, even if she was wrong, she couldn't apologize to Qin Huairu.
After all, there are no parents without faults in this world!
Seeing Jia Zhangshi silent, everyone understood that she was in the wrong.
With the Jia family no longer causing a ruckus, everyone returned to their homes, while Qin Huairu silently wiped her tears!
"Crying, crying, all you know is to cry! Didn't you hear that old hen that can't lay eggs say I have an illness? Hurry up and go to Er Shao's place to bring me some fish soup to nourish my body!"
Qin Huairu was filled with hatred, gritting her teeth, but considering her image in the courtyard, she wiped her tears and directly left the house!
Only Jia Zhangshi was left, touching her swollen face, hissing in pain; it hurt too much!
After about three jin of rain, there were still over two jin left after removing the head and tail, and the two big bowls of noodles were cleaned up by the siblings. When Qin Huairu, with red eyes, came outside He Yucheng's house with a bowl, she saw the two siblings almost done cleaning up, with He Yushui just taking the bowls outside to wash them.
Upon seeing Qin Huairu, she ignored her and turned sideways to leave, while He Yucheng was inside sweeping the floor, throwing the trash into the bin!
So fast? They finished eating and cleaned up already?
Seeing no one paying attention to her, Qin Huairu sobbed and pitifully said, "Yucheng, is there any fish soup left at home? Aunt Yi said my mother-in-law is sick, and I want to borrow some fish soup to nourish her. Next time when we buy fish, I'll return it to you."
Return? When has the Jia family ever returned borrowed things? This excuse might work on that big fool, but using it on herself was like drawing water from a dry well; it was futile.
"Oh, Sister Jia, you should have said something earlier; the food is all gone!"
If someone else had heard this, they might have really turned around and left, but who was Qin Huairu? She was the unparalleled white lotus! She glanced inside the house and then said, "Yucheng, that fish was at least two or three jin. How could you finish it so quickly? I didn't even see the fish head or tail. Don't be so stingy; I will definitely return it next time!"
"Oh, you want the fish head and tail? Here they are!"
As she spoke, she pointed to the trash can outside. He Yucheng replied, "Sister Jia, the fish head and tail don't have much meat and take up oil to cook. I just chopped them up and threw them in the trash. If you had said you wanted the fish head and tail, I wouldn't have thrown them away. Or, do you want to take them out and wash them?"
She had just seen He Yucheng dump the dust into the trash can. If she were to dig through the trash to eat, what would that make her? A dog?
Not wanting the fish anymore, feeling scolded, Qin Huairu took a deep breath and smiled, "Oh, what a pity! By the way, Yucheng, how much is fish per jin now? When Dongxu gets off work, I'll have him buy one."
"Hey, I really don't know how much fish is per jin. I'm just doing odd jobs on the street. Today, Director Wang saw that I performed well and rewarded me with a fish. I haven't had meat for a long time, so I couldn't help but eat it all."
Disappointed, Qin Huairu returned home with an empty bowl, and inside, Jia Zhangshi's shrewish voice echoed, "What use are you? Just a useless person! I shouldn't have let my son marry you in the first place. You're a jinx; ever since you came in, our family hasn't had a single good day!"
Qin Huairu was filled with hatred; how could she have the face to say such things? She was the one suffering the most! If it weren't for believing Yi Zhonghai's words, how could she have married into the Jia family? It was her who hadn't had a good day!
Seeing Qin Huairu silent, Jia Zhangshi grew angrier, thinking, why should she eat fish without serving her a bowl? Finished eating? If it's finished, go buy more! Can't she take care of two kids?
Thinking of this, Jia Zhangshi didn't care about her pig-headed face anymore and angrily opened the door, wanting to find He Yucheng and He Yushui to settle the score!
However, He Yucheng was very clear about her actions; he had no words for this old hag. Using the power of Magneto, he directly controlled a nail in his pocket to fly under Jia Zhangshi's feet!
As Jia Zhangshi was pacing toward the He family's house, she suddenly let out a scream, and her already bruised face hit the ground again!
