Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

Thinking that although my mother-in-law was fierce to outsiders, she was actually nice to her family, I felt a gap in my heart.

Yi Zhonghai did not refuse after hearing this. After all, they were his apprentice's family. If he ignored them, he would be in big trouble.

Qin Huairu was overjoyed when she heard this. She remembered that Liang Ladi had become a fourth-level welder at such a young age, and she was very envious.

Now that she has the opportunity to work in the factory, she believes that she will not be worse than Liang Ladi.

Then Qin Huairu started to care about the food problem. "Uncle, didn't Dongxu come to you to discuss asking Sha Zhu and Pei Guang to help you that day?"

"What did they both say?"

Yi Zhonghai's face was gloomy. "They both refused, saying that the people in the courtyard were in much more trouble than the Jia family, and they would not help the Jia family even if they wanted to."

"But the situation is different now. I suggest you go find Sha Zhu and try. Maybe there will be a turnaround."

"As for Pei Guang, judging from his attitude, there's absolutely no hope."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she started cursing again, claiming that the two were the second and third generations of Mr. Yan, and were extremely stingy.

Yan Fugui: “???”

Qin Huairu knew the current situation of her family. Although there was one less person to feed, the food gap was much smaller, but the income was also reduced.

She could hold on and make ends meet, but she couldn't bear to let the children go hungry, so she began to think about a solution.

Jia Zhang suggested: "Old Yi, look at our family's current situation, why don't we hold a donation meeting and ask everyone to help the Jia family?"

She remembered that at the last donation meeting, Sun Dahu received more than 30 yuan at one time, which was equivalent to an ordinary person's monthly salary.

How can we let go of such a great opportunity so easily?

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes. If he really held this donation meeting, he would be blamed by his neighbors.

"Sister-in-law, your family has some savings, and Dongxu still has several hundred yuan in pensions. Don't even think about this."

"Besides, everyone is having a hard time right now, no one will pay this much."

Jia Zhang refused to agree and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't expect those poor families to donate money. There are a few big families, they should give at least a little!"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai cursed inwardly, "Is it really appropriate to say this in front of a wealthy man like me?"

No matter what Jia Zhang said, he refused to agree.

Jia Zhang didn't dare to make a scene when she needed help from others, so she went to Liu Haizhong again and asked him to hold this donation meeting.

Liu Haizhong has a low level of education but he is not stupid. Once this matter starts, people will come to his door every few days.

Although Director Wang praised him for the last donation conference, things are different now and he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

This old hag has bad intentions!

Chapter 75 Sha Zhu Wants to Get Married

After Jia Zhang's plan failed, she returned home cursing.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu reluctantly advised: "Mom, you'd better save some energy, otherwise you will be hungry again soon."

"Let's eat less so we can save some food for Bang Geng."

Jia Zhang thought that this was true, but she was used to eating and drinking lavishly, otherwise she would not be able to maintain such a figure.

Suddenly asking her to eat less, isn't that making things difficult for Fat Tiger?

"By the way, do you have any plan for Sha Zhu?" Jia Zhang didn't want to starve, so she could only set her sights on Sha Zhu.

"I'll go look for him later, maybe he'll agree."

Jia Zhang nodded, and then said: "You can go find Sha Zhu, but you have to be careful. I don't need to make it too clear!"

After her son's death, she became particularly sensitive to this aspect. She thought that any man who approached her daughter-in-law had ulterior motives, including Yi Zhonghai. If it weren't for the issue of survival, she would never let her daughter-in-law worship him as her master.

Qin Huairu was filled with shame and indignation. Who did they think she was?

This was not the end. Jia Zhang added: "Also, you go to the hospital with me tomorrow to get the IUD inserted."

Qin Huairu was stunned at first. What is a ring?

When I thought about the gossip I had heard before, I immediately felt ashamed and angry.

Isn't it the IUD that they are talking about? As a widow and without a husband, she can't get pregnant at all. Now they are asking her to get an IUD, isn't it because they suspect she will have an affair?

This is an insult to her personality!

For the sake of her two children, she gritted her teeth and endured it. After all, she was open and honest about it, so she just got the IUD.

.........

On the other side, Liang Ladi was walking home with a few children and immediately spotted Sha Zhu waiting there.

The two looked at each other and said nothing.

"Hello, Uncle He!" When the children saw him, they all greeted him happily.

"Da Mao, Er Mao, and San Mao are so good!"

Liang Ladi was very happy when she saw the two lunch boxes in his hands, knowing that they were prepared for her.

"Children, please go to the front and wait for a while. Mom will talk to Uncle He for a few words."

All the children obeyed and did as they were told, except Xiu'er who was still carried on Liang Ladi's back.

"Sister Liang, please take these two lunch boxes back and feed them to the children." Sha Zhu handed over the lunch boxes with a smile.

Liang Ladi hesitated for a while, "What will you and Yu Shui do if you give them all to me? You should just take one back."

Sha Zhu patted his head, almost forgetting about his sister, and said quickly: "It's okay, I'll do it when I get back."

Liang Ladi only took a lunch box and took out a piece of clothing from her bag and handed it over.

Sha Zhu was a little dazed when he looked at the khaki jacket, and a guess flashed through his mind: could it be made for him?

Sure enough, the next second, Liang Ladi's words confirmed this fact.

"What are you standing there for? Take it back and try it on to see if it fits. If it doesn't, I'll come back and make some alterations."

"It's already mid-March, so you can wear it right away."

It should be noted that difficult times also had a huge impact on clothing. The supply of cloth coupons was reduced from 12 shichi per person per year to 3 shichi. A normal adult needs about 6 shichi for a shirt, which means that the cloth coupons of two people in a year are only enough to make one piece of clothing.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu felt a layer of mist covering his eyes. He was really moved. Since his biological mother passed away, Liang Ladi was the first person besides his aunt to make clothes for him.

He didn't know whether Liang Ladi used the old cloth or bought it recently, but it was extremely precious to the Liang family.

"Sister Liang, I think we are a good match. Why don't we just get along?" Sha Zhu blurted out without thinking. After all, they had both slept together, and he didn't like this feeling of hiding things.

I just don’t know what Liang Ladi’s attitude is. I think she likes him, otherwise why would she make clothes for him.

Liang Ladi was trembling physically and mentally. Was she hallucinating just now? Did Sha Zhu say he wanted to live with her?

The changes in Sha Zhu during this period were obvious. Although the affection in his eyes was subtle, she still noticed it.

It’s just that everything happened too fast, I thought I would have to wait for a while.

"Have you thought it through? Don't make this decision on impulse. This is a matter of a lifetime."

"If you want to be with me, it means taking care of four children at the same time. I don't want you to regret it in the future."

If she didn't object, that meant she had that kind of feelings towards Shazhu.

Even someone as emotionally dull as Shazhu could understand the meaning behind it.

Perhaps it was because of the fusion of body and mind that Sha Zhu truly saw her inner world. He knew that she was a kind and housekeeping woman, her aggressive behavior was to protect herself, and she insisted on raising four children alone. Such a good woman is rare.

As for other people’s ridicule, just forget about it. If anyone dares to gossip about you in person, I’ll just beat them up.

Sha Zhu looked at her with a determined look in his eyes, "I've thought it through. Damao and the others are all good kids. I'm willing to raise them with you."

Liang Ladi is also a person who dares to love and hate. She said that she would do some ideological work on the children first, and if possible, everyone could sit down and have a meal together on the weekend.

Sha Zhu felt relieved, knowing that all the kids liked him and would definitely not object.

He is going to have a wife soon!

Isn’t this what the old lady has been looking forward to? Now her wish has come true.

So Shazhu was humming a little tune all the way, looking very happy.

The neighbors were quite curious when they saw this, wondering what good thing had happened and they were as happy as fools.

After receiving the instructions, Sha Zhu smiled slightly, told the secret and went home, leaving everyone looking at each other in confusion.

"Look at the way Shazhu looks like he's thinking about love, so he's definitely going on a blind date."

"Yes, that's all I care about."

"What about Liang Ladi..." He didn't say the next words, but everyone understood.

The truth is confusing and no one can guess it and they are too lazy to guess it. It has nothing to do with them anyway.

.........

He Yushui was very happy to see the lunch box, which contained two steamed buns and half a box of shredded radish. Food is in short supply now, and many people are hungry at home.

And she has a brother who is a chef. I wonder how many people envy her.

Looking at his brother's overjoyed expression, He Yushui couldn't help but ask, "Brother, you've been so happy for so long, what are you thinking about?"

"Hehe! It's really a good thing. I'll tell you in two days."

"Virtue!" He Yushui curled her lips, always feeling that her brother had changed recently.

After a failed blind date, she hid at home drinking every day. Now she doesn't buy wine anymore and often sits there in a daze. She doesn't understand what kind of state this is.

Maybe this is the adult world, it's so complicated! Seeing her brother like this, she is a little afraid of growing up.

At this moment, she inadvertently saw the clothes on the bed. She was the one who washed her brother's clothes, and she was sure that she had never seen this one before.

"Brother, did you buy new clothes?"

Sha Zhu was startled when he heard this. Hey! He actually forgot about this matter.

He quickly took off his coat and tried it on. It fit him perfectly, worthy of being made by a woman who knew his body so well.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling happy.

There has to be a woman at home!

He completely forgot how much he despised her in the beginning and looked down upon her as a widow with four children.

“The Law of True Fragrance” yyds!

Chapter 76 Borrowing Food

"Brother, do you still have cloth coupons? I haven't made new clothes for a long time?" There is no girl who doesn't like new clothes, especially when she sees her best friend bought several sets of clothes last year, it would be a lie to say that she is not envious.

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes at her in annoyance, "You just made new clothes last year, but I haven't bought clothes for a long time."

After saying that, she ignored him and went to look at herself in the mirror.

"Boom boom boom!"

Not long after the meal, Sha Zhu suddenly heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he found Qin Huairu standing there.

Maybe it was because she had just lost her man and was too sad, her pale face gave people a feeling of pity.

Sha Zhu also sympathized with the Jia family's situation, with two widows and two children. However, compared with the Liang family, it was much better.

Although Liang Ladi had a high salary, now that the ration had been cut and grain prices were soaring on the black market, money seemed less important.

When Qin Huairu saw him, she was like a movie queen possessed. Her already red eyes were instantly filled with mist and tears flowed down her face freely. I guess any man seeing her would want to hug her in his arms and comfort her.

Sha Zhu was completely dumbfounded. What did it mean? She came to his house to cry because she had lost her man.

"Shazhu, do you have any extra food at home?"

"Bang Geng has been complaining about being hungry, so I really have no choice but to borrow some from you. Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you someday."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu's heart softened, and then he remembered the situation of the Liang family. He now had to take care of a whole family.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Sister-in-law, please tell me how much food you are going to borrow and how many days it will take to pay it back. After all, I don't have much food at home."
