Chapter 19 Qin Huairu Tests Her Again
He Yuzhu took out a large piece of mutton from his spatial storage, planning to make mutton soup that evening.
Five or six sheep in the portable space have grown up. He Yuzhu had already slaughtered two sheep and would take out some every day to improve their diet.
When it comes to food, He Yuzhu doesn't skimp on himself; he's willing to make big money and not lose small amounts. A vibrant life is also his ideal.
While steaming a pot of white flour buns, they start simmering soup over there. When they renovated the house, they installed two stoves so they could cook two different dishes at the same time.
As a chef, the kitchen is his battlefield, so he naturally won't compromise his skills. Occasionally, he can also try out new dishes here; whether they turn out well or not is another matter, but at least it's a new experience.
When the aroma of mutton soup wafted outside again, people near the courtyard could smell the mutton.
No one needed to go outside to know that this was the smell of He Yuzhu's house in the Intermediate People's Court.
There was nothing they could do; he was the richest man in his family and also the cook. The Jia family would definitely erupt in shouting and cursing again, but Jia Zhangshi dared not name names now, because Sha Zhu had actually hit someone!
Ever since Sha Zhu hit her, Jia Zhangshi hasn't dared to act out in front of him. Jia Zhangshi only gets to bully others in the courtyard because of Yi Zhonghai; if Sha Zhu even hits Yi Zhonghai, what is she anyway?
The news of Sha Zhu beating the old man was circulating in the neighborhood, and naturally some people wanted to know why. Then they were misled by Jia Zhangshi, the deaf old lady, and Luo Qiaoyun.
According to them, Sha Zhu doesn't know how to respect his elders at all. If an elder tries to give him a kind word of advice, he will hit them.
Whether those people genuinely didn't understand or were pretending not to, they joined in speaking ill of He Yuzhu.
They never considered that He Yuzhu had no parents in the courtyard house, so which elder would he be filial to?
Only a few oddballs in this courtyard house would bring up the idea that neighbors are elders. In other courtyards, anyone who dared to say that would be slapped in the face.
You say it's normal to address older people as "uncle" or "grandpa"? Try getting your neighbors to be respectful to you.
You're not someone's father, so why should anyone be filial to you?
Yi Zhonghai has never considered truly giving to others. He tries to coerce others into being filial to him by simply using a few moral slogans. It has to be admitted that this is a very powerful idea.
When He Yuzhu arrived, instead of the original foolish Yuzhu, he was easily fooled.
Actually, Sha Zhu wasn't that easy to fool. It was mainly because Qin Huairu, the deaf old lady, Luo Qiaoyun, and Yi Zhonghai surrounded him every day, instilling this kind of thinking in him.
Sha Zhu neglected his only younger sister. In the end, Hei Xin Shui abandoned Sha Zhu and instead pushed him to help Qin Huai Ru.
He Yushui herself got married early and rarely came to the courtyard house.
He Yuzhu ladled the milky white mutton soup into a basin, and He Yushui followed suit, taking out a few steamed buns and placing them on a plate.
The two carried the dishes to the living room, placed them on the dining table, and were about to eat.
"Bang bang bang"
There was another knock on the door.
He Yuzhu frowned, and He Yushui also pouted impatiently.
Without even asking, the two of them guessed that it was Qin Huairu, the new daughter-in-law of the Jia family.
This guy is really shameless; most people wouldn't dare to come over for a meal.
Not only did the other party come, but they also directly asked for dishes, which was simply unbelievable.
He Yuzhu and He Yushui remained silent, quietly eating their meal. Having experienced many things, they now knew how to handle situations.
"Zhu Zi, it's your sister Qin. Open the door, okay? I know you're home."
Qin Huairu stood outside the house, holding a large bowl, looking rather uneasy.
At this moment, many people in the courtyard were watching her, and she naturally felt a little embarrassed. The birds in the courtyard also hoped to see Qin Huairu go inside and get some meat, so that they could follow suit and go to Sha Zhu's house to ask for food.
It wasn't just the Jia family who wanted the delicious food from Sha Zhu's family; they just weren't as shameless as Qin Huairu.
However, this did not prevent them from learning from the background. Now it was up to Qin Huairu to find a breakthrough.
Qin Huairu didn't want to lose face, but she had no choice. Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu forced her to come and ask for meat.
If Qin Huairu doesn't come, one option is to directly hit her, and the other is to make sarcastic remarks.
Qin Huairu herself felt aggrieved; what kind of good family would force their new daughter-in-law to beg for food outside?
Entering such an oddball's home, Qin Huairu had no choice but to put aside her pride. She didn't want to be beaten, so she had to compromise.
Or perhaps deep down, Qin Huairu also wanted to give it a try, always feeling that everything belonging to the He family was hers.
And so Qin Huairu arrived, with a fearless spirit, as if the wind was howling and the Yi River was cold.
Unfortunately, it was as if no one was home at the He family's house.
No matter how she acted outside, no one spoke or opened the door inside.
Qin Huairu could only carry the bowl and slowly walk home amidst the mocking gazes of the people in the courtyard.
"You're a useless piece of trash too, you can't even fool a simpleton."
When Jia Zhangshi saw Qin Huairu return empty-handed, she immediately launched into a tirade of abuse. She had been craving Sha Zhu's cooking for a long time; the taste was simply divine.
I thought that if Qin Huairu took action, she could at least get a bowl of meat, but who knew that the other party was too useless.
"Mom, he completely ignores me. I'm so confused. I don't think I've done anything to offend him, so why is he so cold to me?"
Qin Huairu herself felt wronged. Even if the other party had just cursed at her, it would at least have shown that they had interacted.
Pretending not to see it now is the most hurtful thing to do.
Yi Zhonghai also hid behind the window, watching outside. In his heart, it would be good if Qin Huairu could control Sha Zhu.
He seems to have disappeared lately, remaining unnoticed in the factory and the courtyard house.
Luo Qiaoyun has been back at her parents' home for more than half a month. Yi Zhonghai knows that the more he does now, the more mistakes he will make, so he simply chooses to remain silent.
At the same time, he was also determined to make a technological breakthrough so that he could have more say in the factory.
It's difficult for the courtyard house to regain prestige in a short time, so they should rebuild their prestige from within the factory.
Xu Damao was also surprised to see Qin Huairu being stopped at the door by He Yuzhu.
Xu Damao had long coveted Qin Huairu, but he was still a child, and when he tried to pester her, she completely ignored him.
"Brother, what do you think she's after? She knows we won't give her anything."
"It's all about constantly testing the waters. Once you open a breach, the other side will relentlessly pursue you. Once there's one breach, there will be a second, and countless more."
He Yushui was also stunned by what her older brother said; indeed, the adult world is too complicated.
He Yushui couldn't even imagine if she would go crazy if she were to be endlessly pestered by the other party.
"So remember, you must never be soft-hearted towards this kind of person. If you are soft-hearted even once, she will take advantage of your weakness and keep rubbing it in."
"Okay, big brother, don't worry, from now on I'll pretend I'm deaf and mute."
He Yushui was very glad that she hadn't acted out of kindness indiscriminately, otherwise the consequences would have been terrible.
He Yuzhu wasn't trying to scare He Yushui. Didn't Qin Huairu know that there was a high probability she wouldn't be able to get in today?
She knew it, but that was the effect she wanted.
The main idea is that as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.
Qin Huairu wanted to exploit people's sympathy to open this door.
Once He Yuzhu and He Yushui are bound by morality, Qin Huairu can use this emotional blackmail to extort benefits from them at any time.
While the character Sha Zhu may have been lusting after the widow's body, he was also constantly being subjected to her moral blackmail.
He Yuzhu didn't actually care about giving women things; he wasn't morally fastidious.
However, He Yuzhu maintained an attitude that was, "I can give it, but you can't take it."
Unfortunately, Qin Huairu does not possess such virtues.
She's the kind of person who, if you dare to give her anything, will want to lick you dry and drain your blood and bone marrow.
Just like how they treat Sha Zhu in the story, since you don't intend to marry him, it's enough that he kindly brings you a lunchbox.
She wouldn't have it; she wanted to take not only the lunchbox but also all of Sha Zhu's wages.
The relationship between the two people was so ridiculous that it was like that of neighbors; this is the evil and greed in human nature.
The Jia family home was eerily silent.
Jia Zhangshi cursed and swore, Jia Dongxu pretended to be asleep, and Qin Huairu silently shed tears.
The other families in the courtyard were all talking about how shameless Qin Huairu was.
Some people think He Yuzhu is too cold-blooded, after all, a woman was standing pitifully at the door, and he didn't even open the door.
Of course, it was the man in the family who said this, and seeing his wife's murderous gaze, he quickly shut up.
Although the men sympathized with Qin Huairu, she simply didn't think much of them.
The women in the courtyard were very happy that He Yuzhu was able to refuse so firmly.
The women were happy, and the next day's topic of conversation was full of praise for He Yuzhu and contempt for Qin Huairu's shameless behavior.
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi both knew that their family was currently in the eye of the storm, so neither of them went to join in.
Both of them possess the excellent quality of being able to withstand criticism and have a steadfast and persistent spirit, never giving up until they hit a wall.
He Yuzhu hadn't expected the other party to be so persistent, but he also had his own clever plan.
Anyway, when it's time to eat, no matter how much they knock on the door, He Yuzhu and He Yushui just pretend they don't hear it.
Qin Huairu cried at the door, but the two men ignored her like flies buzzing.
On Sunday, Qin Huairu tried to contact him twice, once for lunch and once for dinner, but received no response.
It's only now that Yi Zhonghai has lost prestige; otherwise, the other side would have already raised the moral high ground and come out to criticize He Yuzhu.
Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai's prestige has plummeted, and he knows that coming out will only result in him being beaten, nothing else.
Yi Zhonghai felt a pang of heartache watching Qin Huairu pleading so desperately; she was the woman he loved most.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai hated He Yuzhu the most.
Did he ever consider that if Jia Dongxu, as Qin Huairu's husband, didn't care, how could He Yuzhu possibly care about Qin Huairu?
Yi Zhonghai felt that He Yuzhu shouldn't be so selfish. He was so rich, why not help Qin Huairu?
