Chapter 17 This is not what the pillar means

After hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Dongxu's expression eased a little.

However, Jia Zhang was very dissatisfied.

"No relation? That depends on how you put it!"

"Back then, He Yuzhu's father, He Daqing, abandoned him and his encumbered sister and ran off with that widow."

"Silly Zhu is only fifteen."

"If it weren't for our help, would he be able to live the life he has now?"

"He's better now."

"The job in the kitchen of a steel mill is decent and the salary is not low."

"Can you forget the kindness we showed each other in the past?"

"Besides."

"He usually treats you like a brother. Now our family is in trouble, so what's wrong with him helping us out?"

"Isn't it always like this?"

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at Qin Huairu.

"Jiang Bo is just a jerk with shit in his mouth."

"Do you still take his words seriously?"

"We, the Jia family, have done a favor to He Yuzhu. I wonder who in this courtyard dares to say anything!"

Ever since Qin Huairu got married.

Jia Zhang was basically satisfied with her.

He is also very diligent.

She also speaks in a pleasant way and never disobeys her.

but.

It's just that his appearance is a bit too attractive.

Every time she saw Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu interacting, she felt a little unhappy.

but.

Usually, we don't find any evidence.

She looked carefully and thought that they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

But a word of warning.

"Go if you are told!"

"but."

"I'll tell you."

"Don't have any evil thoughts."

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu and said nothing.

He stood up and went out.

Jia Dongxu felt a little upset.

It's not that he didn't see the resentful look Qin Huairu gave him when she left just now.

But there was nothing he could do.

His mother didn't let him go, but asked Qin Huairu to find Sha Zhu. Of course he knew what that meant.

That's his mother.

Under Jia Zhang's strict discipline since childhood, he never dared to express any opinions.

What's more, his master has always taught him to respect the elderly.

but.

What is this?

After the Chinese New Year, Shazhu will be 25 years old.

In that era, people generally married early.

As for Sha Zhu's conditions, although he has no elderly people at home to help him, he is not very good-looking.

But at least the work is good.

If you look carefully, it is impossible not to find it.

But he hasn't gotten married yet.

When asked, the answer is that I haven’t met the right one yet and I’m still young, so there’s no need to rush.

But what is appropriate?

It’s not that Jia Dongxu didn’t see it. Every time Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu, there was a sticky look in his eyes.

Jia Dongxu picked up the bowl of porridge and drank it in one gulp.

It's like drinking a glass of wine.

but.

That guy was just trying to get close to me, after all, he didn't do anything else.

Besides, my mother is watching over me at home, so nothing will really happen.

not to mention.

With Shazhu's appearance, he is only in his twenties, and people would believe he is in his forties.

Qin Huairu would never like him.

It’s that Jiang Bo.

Although he is younger, he has sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes, and he lives next door.

Have to be more careful.

After comforting himself in this way, Jia Dongxu felt much more at ease.

Qin Huairu came out of the house and stood at the door.

It's a bit difficult.

A dim light shone through the window of Jiang Bo's house next door.

Sometimes bright, sometimes dark.

It was Jiang Bo busy in the house.

Originally, although the two families were neighbors.

But we don't usually interact with each other.

Qin Huairu had never paid much attention to Jiang Bo before.

In my impression, he was a tall and thin young man, who always kept his head down and hunched over, and it was difficult to see his face clearly.

He looks quite honest, but he seems to be in low spirits.

Today, I saw him arguing with the manager in the yard.

Qin Huairu then realized that although he was thin, his features were quite handsome.

Moreover, he doesn't have the cowardly temperament that people imagine him to have.

"Why didn't I notice him before?"

Qin Huairu found herself becoming curious about the young man who lived next door.

However, Jia Zhang asked her to find Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu's attitude towards her was a bit clingy, and she could see it.

Otherwise why was it that every time she went to Sha Zhu to ask for something, even if Sha Zhu was reluctant at first, she would complain and nudge and always succeed.

Sha Zhu still cares about her very much.

only.

Indeed, the appearance is not good enough.

She felt that there were too many things before, but after comparing herself with Jiang Bo today, she was a little reluctant to interact with Sha Zhu.

only.

She went to see Jiang Bo in the morning, and she still remembered Jiang Bo's lukewarm attitude.

Obviously, he treated me well before.

As soon as he saw me, he lowered his head, a little shy.

Qin Huairu still remembered that he would sneak glances at her from behind from time to time.

There's no reason why it suddenly changed like this.

Qin Huairu suddenly remembered what Jiang Bo said in the evening.

"Whatever Qin Huairu wanted, she would just send it to him without hesitation."

So that’s it!

Qin Huairu reasonably suspected that Jiang Bo felt uncomfortable because Sha Zhu was close to her.

Qin Huairu thought.

You still have to keep a distance from He Yuzhu in the future.

However, Jia Zhang insisted that she go to He Yuzhu to ask for the lunch box.

"How about we just say that Shazhu hasn't come back yet?"

As she was thinking about it, she saw a person walking out of the shadows.

The man looked in her direction and said.

"Huai Ru, what are you doing standing here?"

What are you afraid of?

The person who came was Sha Zhu.

When Qin Huairu saw that it was him, she subconsciously turned around and went back.

"Hey, Huairu, why did you run when you saw me?"

As he spoke, he quickly took two steps and walked behind Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu had her back to him, her mind racing.

It's too late to say you didn't see him now. Maybe everyone in the room heard the noise just now.

Since we've already met, we might as well talk to him again.

but.

Qin Huairu didn't want Jiang Bo to see that she and He Yuzhu had contact again.

So, he pulled He Yuzhu to the corner.

"Let's go and talk over there."

When Shazhu was pulled by her arm, he felt numb inside.

I just followed without thinking.

"what happened."

Sha Zhu asked in a soft voice.

"Don't mention it."

"Bang Geng is complaining that he is not full. He is only nine years old and is in the growth stage."

"My mother-in-law complains that I don't cook enough porridge."

"But I can't do anything about it. There's only so much rice at home. What should I do with the next meal?"

After saying that, he wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Qin Huairu's words were half true and half false.

It is true that she and Jia Dongxu were not full, but for the grandparents and grandchildren Jia Zhang and Banggeng, it is not a question of whether they are full or not.

But Banggeng is greedy and wants to eat good food.

But she couldn't say that.

Seeing her wiping away tears, Sha Zhu felt heartwarmed.

"Your mother-in-law, did she scold you again?"

Qin Huairu sniffed and said neither yes nor no.

"That's it. Dongxu and I barely touched our chopsticks."

"I have to take care of my mom and the kids first."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he became anxious.

"How can that be possible? You're still pregnant!"

It couldn't have gone any smoother.

Without waiting for Qin Huairu to speak.

After a slight hesitation, He Yuzhu handed over the lunch box in his hand.
