He Yushui sighed, "Second Brother, how can Eldest Brother be like this? He ignores his own younger siblings and just takes a lunchbox to give to someone else. His heart is really big."
He Yuzhu heard his younger siblings talking about him and was initially thinking of going over to discipline them. After all, they all lived in the same courtyard, and Sister Qin had it tough. What was wrong with lending a hand? He really had no sympathy at all.
Perceiving his thoughts, He Yucheng sneered, "Don't mind him. Let's just live our own lives. Now that I have a job on the street, I’m earning a salary. Director Wang also said that I’ll be officially hired soon. From now on, we won’t lack food or drink, and that fool can fend for himself."
Upon hearing himself called a fool, He Yuzhu felt indignant and was about to speak up when He Yucheng continued, "A grown man, always eyeing other people's wives. Not to mention he’s 24 this year and still hasn’t found a wife. Even if he does find one, it’ll be a mess because of that Qin Huairu!"
"Second Brother, it can't be that serious, right?"
He Yucheng said this specifically for He Yuzhu, hoping he would wake up to reality. He spoke earnestly, "Yushui, let me give you an analogy. What if Uncle Liu Haitian followed Aunt San around..."
"Then Uncle San would definitely fight Uncle Liu!"
Before He Yucheng could finish, He Yushui quickly interjected!
"Exactly! That big fool is now infatuated with Qin Huairu, but he forgets that Qin Huairu is Jia Dongxu's wife. The Jia family revealed their situation yesterday; do they lack money?"
He Yushui shook his head!
He Yucheng continued, "Think about it. If that big fool gets married in the future, and Qin Huairu comes crying to him, pretending to be pitiful, can he just ignore her? If he does, will his wife be angry?"
With this explanation, He Yushui understood!
There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. He Yuzhu still couldn't figure it out. Isn't helping others a good thing? Why would his future wife disagree? If his future wife is so petty, then he could just not marry that petty woman and find someone generous instead.
Perceiving the big fool's thoughts, He Yucheng couldn't help but laugh in anger.
"Think about it from another perspective. If he gets a wife, and a man is always circling around her, wouldn't he be angry?"
He Yushui nodded affirmatively!
Now that the conversation had reached this point, He Yuzhu thought about it. If there really was a man circling around his wife every day, he would be furious.
He Yucheng added fuel to the fire, "Do you believe it? With someone like Qin Huairu, when there's money and food, she’ll be all sweet and nice. But once he runs out of money, Qin Huairu won't even look at him!"
He Yushui was now in awe of his second brother. Not only were his grades good, but he also knew a lot. Just working for two days, he had already earned what others made in a month. One must say, capable people can thrive anywhere.
While the two were talking, they saw Jia Dongxu returning to the courtyard with Jia Zhangshi!
As soon as they got home, they saw Qin Huairu eating the lunchbox that He Yuzhu had brought back, and immediately, he shouted!
"You Qin Huairu! I suffer in the hospital while you enjoy good food at home. I can't kill you, you shameless one!"
When Qin Huairu saw Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu return, her expression changed drastically. She had been hoping for a good meal, but they had returned just in time for dinner.
"Mom, Dongxu, how am I enjoying good food? When you left, you didn’t leave me a single penny. I had no money for breakfast this morning and had to borrow some grain from Zhuzi. So, Zhuzi was worried about the kids getting hungry and brought back a lunchbox from the factory. I was just thinking of taking care of the kids first before going to the hospital to see you."
"Hmph, you better be like that!"
When Jia Dongxu heard that the lunchbox was brought by Zhuzi, his expression turned extremely ugly!
For a man, the worst thing is to see his woman getting close to another man. He glared at Qin Huairu with malice!
"Qin Huairu, let me tell you, if you dare to do anything to betray me, I’ll kill you."
Qin Huairu shivered at these words and then feigned innocence, saying, "Dongxu, what are you talking about? I had no choice but to go to Zhuzi. Besides, didn’t Uncle Yi mention wanting Zhuzi to help our family? This way, our lives could be a bit better."
As soon as Yi Zhonghai was mentioned, Qin Huairu quickly changed the topic, "By the way, Dongxu, is Uncle Yi okay?"
Before Jia Dongxu could respond, Jia Zhangshi spoke up, "Hmph, what could be wrong with him? He’s just pretending he doesn’t want to return the money to us. Dongxu, remember, when he gets old, we must not support him!"
Knowing Jia Zhangshi's mindset, which was all about taking advantage without wanting to give anything back, Jia Dongxu nodded and said, "Mom, don’t worry. I’m not stupid. We can’t even support our own family, let alone have spare money to support him. But we still need to maintain this relationship. When he dies, the money and the house will all belong to us. After all, he’s childless!"
At this point, Jia Zhangshi had already sat down at the table and started eating the money from the lunchbox. In no time, the money in the lunchbox was devoured clean, and only then did she have the time to say, "Dongxu, it’s good that you think this way!"
After saying that, she looked at the now-empty lunchbox and scolded, "And that Zhuzi, he’s really something. This little bit of food isn’t enough for anyone. Doesn’t he know I’m seriously injured and need to replenish my nutrition?"
"Mom, this is what Zhuzi brought back for the kids!"
Seeing her son looking at her, Jia Zhangshi felt embarrassed and suddenly seemed to remember something. She then said, "Qin Huairu, I just remembered while I was in the hospital. I went to ask Yi Zhonghai for a donation. Did you get the money from that Zhuzi back? If you did, hurry up and return it to me!"
This damn woman is still thinking about donations, Qin Huairu said with a troubled expression, "Mom, you know our family was just exposed last night for how much money we have. Now, the people in the courtyard have a big opinion about us. Even if Zhuzi is a fool, he wouldn’t possibly give me the money."
"Hmph, you said he’s a fool, so isn’t he easy to coax?"
Qin Huairu looked at the Jia family and truly hated Yi Zhonghai. If it weren’t for Yi Zhonghai making her marry Jia Dongxu, would she have to endure this humiliation?
One pushed her away from Zhuzi, while the other brought her closer to Zhuzi to suck his blood. After hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Jia Dongxu tidied himself up!
After hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Jia Zhangshi began to hit and scold him! This was truly a dilemma.
Just then, He Yucheng had let He Yuzhu hear the conversation of the Jia family clearly.
Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi call him a big fool, easy to deceive, and that Qin Huairu would come to trick him, He Yuzhu was about to explode with anger. Did they really think he was a fool? Sister Qin was good to him; even after suffering so much at home, she still spoke up for him.
How could Sister Qin possibly care for him just for money? She definitely wouldn’t.
Perceiving He Yuzhu's thoughts, He Yucheng wished he could slap this big fool to death. No matter how he explained, it wouldn’t make sense. Wasn’t Qin Huairu speaking up for you? What kind of thought process is this?
