Siheyuan: I just like to stir up trouble

"Then who knows, if men and women work together, the work won't be tiring?" said the second aunt unconfidently.

No one said anything, they just looked at her with contempt. What a bullshit reason.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai had the same idea as the third aunt had guessed. He only planned to adopt one boy. However, in the entire orphanage, he only liked Xiaoshan, a boy. However, Xiaoshan was unwilling to leave his sister Xiaocao, so Yi Zhonghai simply adopted both the brother and sister.

Because of Xiaoshan's caring behavior towards his sister, Yi Zhonghai valued him more. What he needed was a child with a conscience and who knew how to be grateful. He didn't want to raise an ungrateful child. Anyway, the family conditions were there and raising two children was not a big pressure, so in the end Yi Zhonghai simply brought both of them back.

Lin Fan almost died of laughter when he saw Jia Zhang moving steel materials for a whole day at the steel rolling mill.

Because Jia Zhang kept cursing while moving, and she did so for a whole day, cursing all the ancestors of the workshop director, Lin Fan admired her perseverance. If she used this perseverance to learn locksmithing, she might really be able to achieve success.

After get off work, Lin Fan told Fang Meng about this, and Fang Meng couldn't stop laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jia Zhang walked out of the workshop and found Lin Fan and Fang Meng looking at her and smiling, so she asked with a dark face.

"I laugh because you're funny!" Lin Fan said casually.

"Too deceiving!"

Jia Zhang cursed inwardly and turned away. If you can't afford to provoke me, can't you just hide from me?

Lin Fan didn't go too far, just smiled. If Jia Zhang got mad and made her throw a tantrum at the steel mill, that would be a bit troublesome.

After watching Jia Zhang leave angrily, Lin Fan took Fang Meng for a bike ride.

When they returned to the courtyard, they found that the atmosphere there was a little weird.

"Lin Fan, come here, I want to tell you something!" Yan Bugui said mysteriously.

"What did you say?"

Lin Fan was a little curious about why Yan Bugui was acting so sneaky.

"Yi Zhonghai adopted two children, a boy and a girl!" Yan Bugui leaned close to Lin Fan's ear and said.

"Is it true that Yi Zhonghai has figured it out?" Lin Fan was a little surprised.

"Really? They're twins. I heard from your third aunt that one is called Xiaoshan and the other is called Xiaocao. They're about five years old and look pretty handsome!"

"I didn't expect that, but it has nothing to do with me. Go talk to Sha Zhu and see how he reacts!"

After saying that, Lin Fan took Fang Meng home.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up and he thought this was quite interesting, so he waited at the door for Sha Zhu to come back.

"Brother Lin Fan, has Yi Zhonghai turned over a new leaf?" Fang Meng asked curiously after returning home.

"It can't be considered a reformation. Maybe he thinks that what he does is right. He just changed his retirement method. He probably realized that it is better to cultivate himself than to pin his hopes for retirement on others!" Lin Fan said lightly.

"After Yi Zhonghai adopted the children, they should behave themselves, right? It's good that they don't come to cause trouble. Otherwise, it would be annoying if they make a fuss all day long and cause unrest in the yard."

Silly girl, even if they don’t cause trouble, I will still cause trouble. I still have to collect their emotional values.

"It's okay. We are not afraid anyway. We will stop them and make dinner. The world is big, but filling our stomachs is the most important thing!"

"Okay, I'll help you wash the vegetables!"

Then Lin Fan and his wife started preparing dinner together.

"What did you say? Yi Zhonghai adopted two five or six-year-old children. Do we have any advantage?"

Jia Zhang was also quite surprised when she heard about this, but the first thing she thought of was whether she could take advantage of the opportunity.

"How can we take advantage of Yi Zhonghai's adoption of a child?" Qin Huairu was speechless.

"That's not necessarily true. Yi Zhonghai adopted two children. Does he have to make clothes for them? We have a sewing machine at home. It's not too much to charge him for the labor or the cloth, right? Besides, the child is five or six years old. Children grow very fast at this stage. Clothes have to be changed every year. The discarded clothes can be made bigger for Xiaodang or smaller for Huaihua. Isn't that okay?"

Jia Zhang analyzed the situation carefully for Qin Huairu, who was somewhat impressed by her words. Her mother-in-law was really calculating. It would be a pity if she didn't marry Yan Bugui!

"Maybe they will buy it directly without us having to do anything?" Qin Huairu asked with a smile.

"Impossible. It's so expensive to buy clothes directly, and they are definitely not close-fitting. I think they still want to make clothes for their children. If you take the initiative to go to their house and ask them, they will definitely be happy. Our family is just taking advantage of a small advantage. It's a trivial matter for Yi Zhonghai. He won't care!" Jia Zhang talked freely.

"Okay, I'll go ask tomorrow, but how are things going with your steel mill?"

"What else can I do? I'll just keep moving the steel. I was able to relax for three days thanks to Yi Zhonghai's prestige. Now I have to go back to my old job. It's really hard for me!"

Speaking of this, Jia Zhang couldn't help but sigh, wishing she could strangle herself to death. Wouldn't it be good to just sew shoe soles at home? Why did she have to take the job here? It was really her own fault.

"Then you better be serious and don't let your salary be deducted. My family depends on this salary. There are fewer and fewer odd jobs on the street. I can't get any work at all!"

Qin Huairu also sighed. She finally understood the difficulty of being unemployed. These odd jobs were too unstable.

"Can't you find a way to get some money out of Lin Fan? I see Lou Xiao'e often goes there to eat and drink for free, so can't you go there to eat for free too? And bring some delicious food for me and Bang Geng when you come back? Lin Fan and Fang Meng's combined monthly salary is over a hundred yuan, can they spend it all?"

"Lou Xiao'e and Fang Meng are good friends, so she often goes there for free meals. She also often sends things to Lin Fan's family. This doesn't count as eating and drinking for free, at most she's just eating with them!"

"What do you think our family can give to Lin Fan?" Qin Huairu said helplessly.

"You, didn't he eat you for free?" Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu with contempt.

"Shut up, the child is still here and I don't want to scold you, but don't tell me nonsense!"

Qin Huairu's face changed and she glared at Jia Zhang fiercely.

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'm doing this for the good of the children. Look at us eating vegetables and radishes every day, without even a bit of oil or water. How can the children grow? My darling grandson Banggeng is skinny from hunger. Look at little Sophora japonica, she's so small, isn't it because of malnutrition?"

Qin Huairu has changed. She is no longer the obedient wife who never fought back or retaliated when beaten or scolded.

Jia Zhang is now a little afraid of Qin Huairu and dares not argue with her, because if they really fall out, no one will feel good, so she can only play the emotional card.

Chapter 247 Jia Zhang's Plan 2

"You work hard, and it's more important than anything else. If the factory catches you, they won't deduct a dime, but at least a dollar. I don't know how many times you can deduct that little salary!"

Qin Huairu said this unhappily, but she did feel a little distressed when she looked at Huaihua.

Banggeng was okay, he looked chubby and although Qin Huairu wanted to give him some meat to try, it was just to satisfy his craving, so she was not in a hurry.

It’s just that Huaihua is too thin, and because Qin Huairu herself is malnourished, she doesn’t have enough milk.

Just before Lin Fan got married, she could still eat some fish, meat and other things at Lin Fan's house to supplement her nutrition. At that time, she fed more than just Huaihua, and that was enough.

But later Lin Fan got married, and Qin Huairu went back to eating corn noodles every day. Plus, she no longer took the leftovers that Sha Zhu brought back, so Xiao Huaihua suffered.

"I'm going to ask the uncle tomorrow if they need my help making clothes for the children. I'll earn some money to buy some malted milk for Huaihua!" Qin Huairu suddenly said.

"You're crazy. Why don't you earn some money to buy meat? Everyone has food to eat. If you eat meat, you'll have milk. Then won't it be enough for little Huaihua to have milk? You're still buying malted milk. Do you have the money to do that? Why don't you buy a sheep or a cow to feed her milk?"

Jia Zhang began to nag. She was very happy to hear that Qin Huairu was going to take advantage of Yi Zhonghai, but she was very angry to hear that all the advantages were given to Huaihua.

Wouldn't it be good for Qin Huairu to buy some meat with the money she earned? It would be great if everyone could taste some meat. A life with meat is better than a life in heaven!

"I'm afraid that when I buy meat, I won't even be able to drink any soup. Besides, even if I eat meat, it's impossible for me to produce breast milk in one meal. It's not as good as malted milk!"

Qin Huairu spoke in a gloomy tone. Jia Zhang was just like a glutton. After she bought some meat, she and Banggeng were like Japanese invaders entering the village, sweeping away everything. It was not her turn at all.

"You are stupid, I would say. Yi Zhonghai and his wife adopted two children, so they must be afraid of dropping them if they hold them in their hands, and afraid of them melting if they hold them in their mouths. In addition, the children came from an orphanage and must be malnourished. Can't you trick Yi Zhonghai into buying malted milk? When he buys it, can't you just go to his house with Xiao Huaihua to get some?"

Although Jia Zhang is not good at other things, she has one clever idea after another. This method is similar to a cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest and laying eggs in that nest.

Although Jia Zhangshi couldn't explain anything profound, her meaning was very clear, which was to use Yi Zhonghai's financial resources to support her own children.

"Is it possible? His two children are five or six years old!" Qin Huairu hesitated.

"Oh, don't worry about whether you are five or six years old, you can still eat malted milk even if you are eight or nine. Let Xiao Huaihua follow the Yi family's children and eat malted milk for a few years, and she will grow up plump and white, right?" Jia Zhang said impatiently.

"Isn't this sucking human blood? I can't do it!" Qin Huairu felt a little embarrassed.

"Qin Huairu, that's enough. It's not like you haven't done this before. You used to suck the blood of Shazhu and it was pretty good, didn't you? Later, you followed Lin Fan and became more discerning. Shazhu didn't care about you and didn't even take his leftovers. You think you're great and noble. If you don't go, an old woman like me will do it myself!"

Jia Zhang curled her lips. How much is face worth? Today I will let you know that old people are more experienced. I am the most powerful person in the whole courtyard.

Then Jia Zhang rushed to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Brother Lin Fan, look at Jia Zhang. Why is she in such a hurry? Is she going to fight at Yi Zhonghai's house?"

Fang Meng pointed curiously at Jia Zhang who was jogging along the way.

"Let's go see the fun!"

Lin Fan also became interested. It was already evening, and Yi Zhonghai had been quite kind to Jia Zhang. Today, the Yi family had adopted two children. Was Jia Zhang planning to cause trouble on someone else's wedding day?

"Jia Zhang, why are you here?"

An aunt was feeding Xiaoshan and Xiaocao at home. Yi Zhonghai watched them with a smile. When they noticed that Jia Zhang had arrived, they all looked unhappy.

"Hello grandma!"

Xiaoshan Xiaocao didn't understand what was going on, so she greeted Jia Zhang.

"Oh, this child is so polite and well-behaved. Grandpa congratulates you!" Jia Zhang said with a smile.

"Just tell me what you have to say, but don't throw a tantrum in front of the children!"

As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. Even though Yi Zhonghai knew that Jia Zhangshi had bad intentions, he didn't want to argue with her. He just hoped that she wouldn't go too far.

"Look at what you said. How could I cause trouble for you on your happy day? You see, although you adopted two children, you have no experience in this area. I am here to tell you about my experience in raising and educating children!" Jia Zhang said with an apologetic smile.

"Just tell me, how much would it cost for you to impart these valuable experiences? We might not be able to afford it!"

Yi Zhonghai's tone was slightly meaningful, meaning that you should stop at the right time. We will not agree if you go too far.

"Look at what you said. What's the relationship between our two families? Why talk about money? I'll teach you for free!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she just wanted the money. After all, this was an unexpected surprise. She hadn't expected to get this before she came.

But if she took the money, then it would be a transaction, and the money and goods would be settled, and it would be difficult for her to take advantage of him in the future.

Thinking about having a good relationship with the Yi family, which would give her more opportunities to take advantage in the future, Jia Zhang gave up this tempting idea.

"I never thought that there would be a day when you, Jia Zhang, would not need money!"

Yi Zhonghai and Auntie looked at Jia Zhang in surprise.

"The eldest master takes such good care of our Jia family, how can I, Jia Zhang, be ungrateful? Of course, because our Jia family is so poor, we may take advantage of him sometimes, but this is not our intention. After all, life is too difficult, and we have no choice!" Jia Zhang began to complain.

"Okay, stop talking and tell us what you want to remind us of!"

Yi Zhonghai started to get a headache when he saw Jia Zhangshi playing the victim. Don't treat him, Yi Zhonghai, as a fool. He is an old fox!

"I want to ask you, you adopted these two children. Have you prepared clothes, quilts and other things for them?"

"What you said is a problem. We do have spare quilts, but as for clothes, we can only wait until tomorrow to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them!"
