The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 1060 Jia Zhang's Purpose
Chicken feathers all over the place.

Liu Lan's counterattack this time can be said to have caused chaos in the Jia family.

Qin Huairu cried in vain, and the beatings from Bang Geng and Xiao Dang, the two kids, were also in vain.

Originally, she tried to win back He Yuzhu, but after being scolded by Liu Lan, He Yuzhu, not knowing whether he came to his senses or sobered up, went back to the house alone.

His back looked a little desolate, and he didn't even look at Qin Huairu, as if he was completely disappointed in her.

The other families in the yard, seeing that there was no more excitement, dispersed. Under the lights of the central courtyard, only the Jia family, young and old, were left, looking extremely desolate.

Sorrow. The whole central courtyard was filled with a strong atmosphere of sorrow.

The very center of the aura is Qin Huairu. This sad and resentful aura comes from herself.

Jia Zhang was completely embarrassed when she saw her clever daughter-in-law. She snorted coldly and returned to the house with the stick in her hand, like a victorious general with a hint of pride.

She did it on purpose, deliberately trying to embarrass her daughter-in-law by making her sweep the floor in the yard.

When it comes to the experience of being a widow, Jia Zhang is many years ahead of Qin Huairu. How can she, a new widow, compare with so many years of experience?

The two people from other families who also lived under the roof of the Jia family had a cooperative and symbiotic relationship, and Jia Zhang had to rely on her to raise the children.

But most of the time, she was still clearly wary of this disobedient daughter-in-law.

Holding her son's compensation money in her hand, she said it was for her retirement, but in fact it was only a part of it. What Jia Zhang was worried about was that her cunning daughter-in-law would take the money and run away with others.

Why do I have this feeling? Because Xu Damao had succeeded in getting her once before, and Xu Damao can't have children, so it's better for him.

But He Yuzhu, with his broad shoulders and strong waist, who yells and shouts all day long and walks with great vigor, it is obvious at first glance that he can give birth.

If the daughter-in-law really wants to get together with Shazhu, then her personal interests will be affected.

If one of them turns out to be a child, it would go against the purpose of raising three children. At this moment, Jia Zhang is eager to let everyone see the true face of her daughter-in-law...

But you have to find a balance. You can't force people to leave. Otherwise, you can only let others point out that your daughter-in-law has bad character.

A daughter-in-law has her own calculations, and she, as a mother-in-law, also has her own calculations. Now that her reputation is gone, she can only close her eyes and work hard for the Jia family.

At this moment, looking through the gap in the curtains at the daughter-in-law with a broken spine in the yard, Jia Zhang's face flashed a sinister smile.

Qin Huairu was once again drained of her energy. She had no pillar, no lunch box, no extra money, let alone a house. It was even a question how much money she could save in the future.

"Squeak~!"

"Mom, Xiaodang won't dare to do that again. Xiaodang will definitely be obedient in the future~!"

The clever Jia Dang might have noticed that her mother's mental state was not right. As a child, she could not understand what the adults were saying, but as Liu Lan said, children of this age can already read the adults' expressions.

Facing her sensible daughter, Qin Huairu forced a smile, touched her head, and sighed helplessly.

She knew that Liu Lan had a strong personality, but she never expected that she would be so strong-willed as to expose the matter in public. How could she continue to live in this courtyard?

"Go, see my brother~!"

Qin Huairu tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes again. She looked at the portrait of Jia Dongxu on the wall with red eyes and motioned Xiaodang to go into the inner room.

Banggeng didn't know if he was scared or what, but he was not in the room at all at that moment. It seemed that he didn't want to pay attention to her. Qin Huairu, as a mother, felt a pang of pain in her heart.

“How much did the furniture sell for?”

Just as I sat down on the stool and was about to pour a glass of water to ease my depression, my mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, lifted the curtain and walked out from the inner room.

He had a gloomy face, as if he wanted to settle accounts with Qin Huairu.

However, Qin Huairu felt upset because she didn't speak up for herself just now, and she didn't want to pay any attention to this mother-in-law who kept holding her back.

"What should I ask you?"

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't say anything and just stared at her son's photo in a daze, Jia Zhang simply took the photo frame off the wall and placed it on the table so that she could take a good look at it.

"Come, let's talk about this in front of my son~!"

This action undoubtedly made Qin Huairu even more uncomfortable. She didn't want to pay attention to this mother-in-law at all at this time. Instead, she became more excited.

"Why are you asking these questions? I got these by myself. What? Do you want to buy pills again? Don't you have money?"

Faced with her mother-in-law's aggressiveness, Qin Huairu chose not to back down. She covered the photo frame on the table and questioned her mother-in-law with a series of questions.

"When you first took over, you were making $17.50 a month. Last year, with the allowance, you were making $22.50 a month. By the month before last, your salary had already reached $24.50~!"

"Am I wrong?" Jia Zhang stared at her daughter-in-law with a sinister look. Ever since she received the compensation, the pension and pill payments stopped, which saved the family a huge amount of expenses.

On the contrary, my daughter-in-law's salary has been increasing every year, but until last month, when she received her salary, there was still no movement.

It's time to come clean. When the salary was $17.5, it was enough to support a family. Now it's $24.5, which is $7 more. It's time to settle the bill.

When the money was little, she could pretend to be ignorant to prevent her daughter-in-law from always thinking about the compensation, but now that her salary has increased, she has to talk it out.

"Why are you asking about my salary? I earn it from working~!"

Qin Huairu was unhappy. She had already been troubled by Liu Lan today. She didn't expect that when she returned home, it was not over yet and her mother-in-law would not let her rest.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and Qin Huairu's expression became nervous. It was obvious that her mother-in-law was talking to her about salary, and it was not a good thing.

“Hmph, bang~!”

"If I don't ask, will you tell me the truth?"

"Don't tell me these things. Your job belongs to our Jia family. If it weren't for the Jia family, you would still be farming in the countryside~!"

Seeing that her daughter-in-law refused to admit it, Jia Zhang did not give her any face at all. She sneered and slammed the chicken claws directly on the table. Her momentum was even more oppressive than Liu Lan's.

"You have to use your salary to support your family. Don't worry about it. You don't know the expenses of having several people in your family. Don't use the pension money as an excuse. You have already regarded the compensation money as your pension money~!"

Qin Huairu looked at her furious mother-in-law calmly and quietly inquired about her salary. She was definitely up to no good. When it came to money, she was extremely alert.

Originally, we two were each concerned about our own affairs. If you didn't care about me, I wouldn't care about you either. But if you care about me first, then I...

A cold light flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes. The compensation money was more than enough to buy a better house.

"Dongxu's incident happened in 1962. You were paid $17.50 a month when you started working. At that time, the whole family was able to survive!"

"Now that wages are increasing every year, I want to ask you where the extra money has gone. The money Xu Damao gave you, the money from selling furniture, and the money you got from Sha Zhu, you'd better explain it clearly~!"

My goodness! Jia Zhang really doesn't intend to let Qin Huairu go this time. She even brought up her daughter-in-law's unplanned "business" income on the table.

After knocking on the table, Jia Zhang's words were extremely cold, making it clear that she had Qin Huairu in her arms and was definitely hiding some secret fund behind her back.

Qin Huairu widened her eyes and looked at her mother-in-law. She still remembered all these old accounts. What did she do to have the nerve to ask for such money?

"That's my money~!"

"That's the Jia family's money~!"

After saying that, Jia Zhang pushed open the door silently, picked up the locust branch that Liu Lan had thrown on the ground, walked into the room, and locked the door. She locked it.

Holding a stick in his hand, he walked straight to the rice jar and dug in it, but found nothing.

At this time, Qin Huairu's expression was a little nervous. She looked at the stick in her mother-in-law's hand, then at the rice jar, and her face looked very ugly.

I was slightly relieved until I saw my mother-in-law return empty-handed, but I still frowned when I saw her holding the stick.

"Rice is 1.5 cents, flour is 1.7 cents, and corn stubble is 9 cents. If no one had told me, I wouldn't have known that you mothers are all eating commercial grains~!"

"Come on, tell me, after Dongxu left, how many meals of fine grains did your family eat? Which ones did you buy?"

Jia Zhang, who failed to find out where her daughter-in-law hid the money, was not discouraged at all. She knocked the table with a locust tree branch and began to calculate the household accounts.

This question made Qin Huairu lower her head slightly and look to the right. This was a sign of guilt. She might be in a hurry and thinking of excuses.

"You have exchanged all the fine grains, right? You still eat cheap grains for lunch at the factory. At home, after deducting the cost of buying vegetables, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, water, electricity and coal, you save at least a few dollars a month~!"

The more she calculated, the more anxious she became. Qin Huairu, who had originally thought that her mother-in-law would not pay attention to the expenses after receiving the pension money, was really nervous at this moment. She felt that nothing could be hidden from the eyes of this old woman.

As Jia Zhang looked at her daughter-in-law's guilty expression, she became more certain of her guess.

Before, she could turn a blind eye when Sha Zhu was helping to support her, but now, they are completely separated, so she has to be frugal in the future.

"With a salary of twenty-four and a half dollars a month, you can save at least seven and a half dollars, not counting the rabbits~!"

"Xu Damao gave you at least a hundred yuan, and you sold the furniture for fifty or sixty yuan. How much did Sha Zhu lend you...!"

"Let the past be the past. Since I can't find the money, I won't look for it anymore. I'll just assume that you don't know how to manage the household. But from now on, I'll take care of your salary~!"

Sticking the locust tree branch into the ground, Jia Zhang made her purpose known. There was a fierce look in her eyes as she looked at her daughter-in-law, as if she was going to hit her with the stick if they had a disagreement.

"Then just let me take over the class for you and I'll stay at home to take care of the kids~!"
