Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Chapter 968 Scolding and Beating

This is the difference between a family with both parents and a family with only one parent.

For example, Qin Huairu seldom slapped her two daughters. Most of the time she just scolded them. But Xiao Dang Huaihua was really afraid of Qin Huairu now.

They would rather stay with Jia Zhang than do their homework or read under Qin Huairu's cold gaze.

To the two younger ones of the Jia family, Qin Huairu now had no warmth at all and was completely cold.

Just like Wu Laoliu from another alley, after being bitten by a mad dog, he became afraid of light, irritable, and a little neurotic.

Xiaodang and Huaihua walked into the yard cautiously without saying hello to anyone.

Some time ago, the neighbors in the yard scolded their family in various ways, which made the two little girls feel disgusted.

how to say?

Even though their family was so pitiful, everyone still treated them like this, making the two little girls feel that all the neighbors in the yard were hateful.

At such a young age, they cannot tell right from wrong.

They will know who is good to them and who is not.

Jia Zhang was sitting at the door making matchboxes. She was not doing this for show, but to make a living. The current situation of the Jia family did not allow her to be as lazy as before.

From this point of view, people are forced to do things.

Xiaodang and Huaihua rushed to Jia Zhang's side, calling her "Grandma" in unison.

Ever since the Chinese New Year, when Jia Zhang was convinced by Qin Huairu's words, although she didn't say very nice things to her two granddaughters, she didn't target them like before.

Occasionally she would hand in her handicraft and give her granddaughter some pocket money of 1.5 cents.

So the two little girls kissed her again.

Jia Zhangshi did not have the kind smile that other elders would have when they met their juniors. Instead, she glanced at the two girls and asked in a low voice, "What? Are you playing outside again?

Be careful today, your mother is very angry today."

These words gave Xiaodang Huaihua a startle.

This is also what the two little girls fear the most. Whenever Qin Huairu gets angry outside, she always takes it out on them when she gets home.

"Xiaodang, Huaihua, come in." Qin Huairu called out sternly.

The little locust flower went inside tremblingly.

Qin Huairu was sitting in front of the sewing machine, her hands and feet busy.

If it weren't for the manual work taken on by this sewing machine, the Jia family would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Qin Huairu's current salary in the factory is only 12.5 yuan as a temporary worker.

Although Jia Zhang could help, the little money she earned was insignificant except for her own medicine.

If you calculate carefully, Jia Zhang can't even support herself.

Twelve dollars and fifty cents a month is enough to support a family of four.

We also have to pay back some external debts, such as the fat man's and the fines for Banggeng's theft.

In this regard, even if the steel mill takes practical considerations into account and takes care of Qin Huairu, they will still have to deduct a dollar or two every month.

Before the storm, families like Qin Huairu who couldn't even guarantee the minimum income would definitely receive some subsidies from the street.

But Qin Huairu is a problematic person now, so there is no need to think about subsidies.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu still has a sewing machine, so she can barely make ends meet.

Therefore, Qin Huairu's skills in mending clothes have improved rapidly during this period.

There’s no other way. If I don’t do this, my whole family will starve to death.

Qin Huairu didn't look at her two daughters and spoke in a cold voice. From Qin Huairu's perspective, she was suppressing her anger, but Xiaodang Huaihua felt that their mother had no emotions at all now.

"Why did you come back now?
Can't you guys try harder?

Mom spent so much money to send you to school..." She kept talking about her own difficulties and Xiaodang Huaihua's disappointment. At present, education below junior high school is still going on normally.

So in this regard, we can also compare with other people’s children.

Teachers these days are very dedicated and will proactively communicate with parents about the child’s performance and academic achievement.

The two daughters of the Jia family are on the lower middle level.

Xiaodang was a little behind, but Huaihua could still keep up.

This is normal. Such a big thing happened in the Jia family. Since Xiaodang is older, the impact will always be greater.

Besides, when Banggeng was around, Qin Huairu never cared about her two daughters’ studies.

It has always been a laissez-faire management style.

Now it suddenly tightened violently, which made it difficult for the two children to adapt.

Then there was another round of questions about studying. The two children's voices of answering became lower and lower, while Qin Huairu's scolding voice became sharper and sharper.

Qin Huairu herself didn't realize that her face now looked a little hideous.

Liu Ting's face was also a bit "ferocious". She put one hand on her waist and held a rolling pin in the other hand, and angrily shouted at He Yuan who was hiding behind Guo Shumiao: "You little bastard, come out here, no one can save you today.

If I can't deal with you, I'll take your last name."

Little He Yuan hid tightly behind Guo Shumiao's butt, occasionally showing her head and stealing a glance at Liu Ting.

Seeing that Liu Ting was really angry today, He Yuan also knew that she would be in trouble today.

He Yuan started bargaining with Liu Ting.

Of course, the crying tone is necessary, otherwise it would be a bit inconsistent with the plot.

He Yuan cried, "Mom, I know I was wrong, I will never use your skirt to draw butterflies again.

·····
I'll ask Dad to buy you a new one."

“·····Come out here!”

"Put the stick down!"

The focus of the argument between mother and daughter has shifted from whether to hit the child or not to whether to use a rolling pin.

When He Yuzhu came back and pulled away Guo Shumiao, who was trying to mediate the fight, He Yuan was slapped twice on the buttocks.

The noise finally stopped.

When He Yuzhu returned home, the little girl came out with Liu Ting's skirt and complained to He Yuzhu.

This little thing is not an easy one to deal with.

He Yuzhu picked up the little girl and stabbed her face with his chin four or five times, but he smiled and said, "Yuanyuan was beaten, you are happy, right?"

Even though He An's eyes narrowed into crescents from smiling, he still shook his head and said in a tender voice: "The teacher said that we should be good children and not do bad things."

"You are so sensible." Even though He Yuzhu knew that the little girl was saying one thing and thinking another, he still kissed her as a compliment.

He Yuzhu looked up at her skirt and then he knew why Liu Ting was angry.

On the waist of Liu Ting's skirt, there is a butterfly embroidered with silk thread.

It's a small one, just a decoration.

But now it has been painted pitch black.

If it had been discovered at the time, it might have been cleaned out.

But it was obvious that He Yuan made a mistake by hiding the skirt.

I can only say that my daughter deserved the beating she received.
