Chapter 16 It is difficult to change one’s nature!
It is said that it is difficult to change a person's nature! When the greedy Jia Zhang learned that Jia Dongming had a demobilization allowance, her greedy nature was immediately exposed. She asked Jia Dongming with burning eyes: "Dongming! How much money did the army give you when you were demobilized? Why don't you give this money to your mother to keep for you, and use it for you to marry a wife in the future."

When Jia Dongming heard what Jia Zhang said and saw her money-obsessed look, he was speechless and asked Qin Huairu, "Sister-in-law! Do you know how much money the people in the courtyard have donated to our Jia family over the years?"

Qin Huairu was a little confused when she heard Jia Dongming asking about the donation, so she answered, "Uncle! Over the past few years, the courtyard has donated money to our family thirteen times. I'm not sure how much money was donated, but the third uncle in the front yard must know, because he keeps records of every donation."

After hearing Qin Huairu's answer, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment and said to Qin Huairu, "Sister-in-law! Send a plate of dumplings to Yi Zhonghai later, then go to the third uncle and get the donation details he recorded. I'll buy some things tomorrow, and we'll return the money to the residents in the courtyard door by door."

"Dongming! What did you say? The money was donated to our family voluntarily by the people in the courtyard. It was money we earned with our own ability, so why should we return it to them?" When Jia Zhang learned that Jia Dongming was planning to return the money to the residents in the courtyard, she immediately refused to do so and asked Jia Dongming with dissatisfaction.

When Jia Dongming saw that Jia Zhang was stabbing because of money, his face suddenly darkened, and he asked Jia Zhang in a serious tone: "Mom! Do you really think that the residents in the courtyard are really willing to donate money to our family?"

"Besides, I am the security chief of the steel mill. If the people in the factory knew that the residents in the yard donated money to our family, how could I save face? Who knows, the leaders might think that I used my position as the security chief to ask the residents in the yard to donate money to our family. If that happens, I will not be able to continue to work as the security chief. That's another matter."

"Also, have you ever thought about this? If we don't return the donations, the residents in the courtyard will ask me for help. If I help, everyone will be happy. If I choose not to help because it requires violating principles, then people will use the donations to say that our Jia family is ungrateful."

When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's harsh questioning, she realized that the son in front of her was not the younger son who had been submissive to her before.

Thinking of Jia Dongming's identity and status, Jia Zhang instinctively shrank her head and replied guiltily: "Dongming! Mom didn't mean that. Mom just feels sorry for your money."

Qin Huairu, who was standing by, saw that her overbearing and unreasonable mother-in-law was like a docile kitten in front of her uncle, and she couldn't help but almost laughed.

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Jia Dongming knew that it would take time to change Jia Zhang, so he stopped discussing this issue with her and said to her, "Okay! I'll take care of this matter, come over and eat dumplings!"

When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming mention dumplings, she ignored the fact that Jia Dongming wanted to pay back the money, walked quickly to the dining table, picked up a plate of dumplings and started eating.

Qin Huairu followed Jia Dongming's instructions, carrying a plate of dumplings to Yi Zhonghai's door and shouted inside: "Uncle! Aunt! Are you home?"

Yi Zhonghai, who was preparing to eat, heard Qin Huairu's voice outside the door and immediately answered: "Huairu! We are at home. What's the matter with you coming to my house?"

Qin Huairu heard Yi Zhonghai's response, opened the curtain and walked in, smiling and said to Yi Zhonghai who was sitting at the dining table: "Uncle! We made dumplings today, and Banggeng's uncle asked me to send some to you. Thank you for taking care of our Jia family over the years." Yi Zhonghai saw the big plate of dumplings in Qin Huairu's hand, and a surprised expression appeared on his face. He said politely: "Huairu! Your family has finally made dumplings, why don't you keep them for yourself?"

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Qin Huairu put the plate in her hand on the table and replied, "Uncle! Banggeng's uncle bought five pounds of pork belly and ten pounds of flour. We made a lot of dumplings tonight. You guys eat these dumplings first, and I'll come over to get the plate later."

When Yi Zhonghai heard what Qin Huairu said, he thought of the news Yan Bugui had told him, and asked Qin Huairu: "Huairu! I heard that Banggeng's uncle is the new security chief of our steel mill. Is this true?"

When Qin Huairu heard Yi Zhonghai asking about Jia Dongming, she smiled and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle! I don't know if you still remember that when we went to the cafeteria to eat lunch at noon today, I told you that I met a man at the entrance of the cafeteria who looked very much like our Dongxu. The man I met at that time was Banggeng's uncle."

When Yi Zhonghai heard what Qin Huairu said, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He said to Qin Huairu insincerely, "Huairu! Ever since Dongxu left, your Jia family has been living in extreme poverty. Now that Banggeng's uncle is back, you finally have hope for the future."

When Qin Huairu heard Yi Zhonghai's words and thought of Jia Dongming's promise to her, she unconsciously revealed an expression of longing on her face. She smiled and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle! There are still dumplings cooking in the pot at home. I'll go back first."

After Qin Huairu left Yi Zhonghai's house, she did not go directly to Jia Dongming's villa, but walked through the moon gate to the door of Yan Bugui's house and asked into the house, "Third uncle! Are you home?"

Yan Bugui, who was distributing pickles to his family members in the house, heard Qin Huairu's call from outside the door. He thought Qin Huairu was here to invite him to dinner, so he immediately walked to the door and asked Qin Huairu with a smile: "Huairu! Are you there? What do you want to talk to me about?"

When Qin Huairu saw Yan Bugui coming out of the house, she thought of the purpose of her visit and said to him with a smile, "Third Uncle! The hospital has donated money to our Jia family over the years. I remember you registered it every time, right?"

Yan Bugui originally thought that Qin Huairu was here to invite him to dinner at Jia Dongming's house, but unexpectedly, Qin Huairu actually came to ask about donations.

Yan Bugui, who was good at calculating, immediately realized the reason why Qin Huairu came when he heard her asking about the details of the donation, and quickly answered: "Huairu! There is indeed a registration. What do you want this registration for? If it's not urgent, I will find it later and send it to you."

Qin Huairu smiled and explained after hearing what Yan Bugui said, "Third Uncle! It's our Banggeng's uncle who wants it. Please help me find it. I'll come get it later!"
