Chapter 25: Qin Huairu was beaten

Li Kailang returned home and felt troubled when he looked at the three pounds of meat.

"If we keep this meat, it might be stolen by Banggeng the next day. Instead of letting the Jia family eat it, it's better to give it to others."

"It's just right to share some of the meat and give it to those families who helped me, to attract some hatred, hehehe."

This pork was brought back to the yard openly. If it was not kept for long, Li Kailang would not be able to finish it all by himself, and it would also be easy for others to miss it. There was really no need to put it into the space.

The most important thing is that Li Kailang also has canned beef and roast duck, so that’s not a big deal!
So Li Kailang quickly divided the pork into six portions.

Li Kailang took half a pound of pork and first went to the back house where Aunt Zhang was helping him.

"Aunt Zhang, are you there?" Li Kailang shouted.

"Yes, Xiao Li, what can I do for you?" Aunt Zhang heard a noise outside the door and hurried out to see what was going on.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm here to bring you some meat. I can't finish all this meat by myself." Li Kailang said loudly, as if he wanted everyone in the hospital to know.

"That won't do. This is your meat. You can't give it away for free. So, Aunt Zhang pays for it." As he said this, he was about to go back to the house to get the money.

"No need to pay, Aunt Zhang, this is a gift from me. If you give me money, wouldn't that be speculation? Just take this meat without worry.

If you hadn't beaten Jia Zhang, I really wouldn't have been able to get the meat back." Li Kailang said the latter part in a low voice.

After putting the pork in Aunt Zhang's room, Li Kailang ran away immediately.

"This child!" Aunt Zhang said, looking at Li Kailang's back.

Li Kailang returned home and used the same method to give the remaining pork to the other four ladies.

Finally, only Aunt Chen's family, who lived in the backyard and confronted Jia Zhang head-on, did not receive a gift.

Li Kailang strode over, shouting, "Aunt Chen! Aunt Chen!"

Li Kailang deliberately shouted louder when passing by Jia's house, and the script was deliberately slowed down, so that he shouted several more times.

Seeing the meat that should have belonged to her being generously given away by Li Kailang, Jia Zhang's heart was filled with pain like blood, but she could not stop it.

Watching Li Kailang walking past her home with a proud and confident look on his face, her heart was filled with helplessness and anger.

After sending the Chen family off, Li Kailang passed by the Jia family again with a satisfied look on his face, which undoubtedly added salt to the wound of the already angry Jia Zhang.

This was Li Kailang's purpose, which was to anger Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang urgently needed to find someone to vent her anger on, and Qin Huairu became the best target.

"Qin Huairu, is the meal ready? It's so damn unlucky. Ever since you came into my house, bad things have happened one after another, and my son has not been promoted for years.

Tomorrow, you go back to your hometown. I don’t want to see you.” Jia Zhang cursed angrily.

Qin Huairu cried and said aggrievedly: "Mom, how can you say that to me? Since I came to the Jia family, what have I not done?"

Tears welled up in her eyes and she looked at Jia Dongxu beside her, hoping he could say a few words for her.

However, Jia Dongxu said nothing and just watched the two quarreling quietly.

"You are so good, Qin Huairu. Now you dare to talk back to me!" Jia Zhang was just itching to do it, so she slapped Qin Huairu twice on the face.

Suddenly, two red marks appeared on Qin Huairu's face.

Just as Jia Zhang was about to continue beating her, Jia Dongxu said, "Alright, Mom! Are you annoying me?"

No matter what, Qin Huairu is still his wife, and she is pregnant. If he keeps beating her like this, where will he save his face?

Hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Jia Zhang stopped immediately. As the pillar of the family, Jia Dongxu still had to listen.

Another pillar of the family, Bang Geng, is still young.

Just as Qin Huairu was moved by Jia Dongxu's actions, Jia Dongxu said, "Qin Huairu, is the meal ready? Bring it up quickly. I'm hungry."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Huairu's feeling of being touched suddenly disappeared, and her feelings towards Jia Dongxu began to waver.

"Qin Huairu, what are you doing there? Go and get your meal!" Jia Zhang yelled.

Hearing this, Qin Huairu went to get the food.

Jia Dongxu looked at the bland soup on the table, and then thought about other people eating meat, and suddenly felt bored.

"Mom, take the meat coupons and buy some meat tomorrow. How can I work and get promoted if I eat such bland food every day?"

"Okay, okay, let's have meat tomorrow too, and make others jealous!" When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongxu talking about work and promotion, her eyes lit up.

Jia Dongxu has been a first-level worker for six or seven years, and his salary has always been 33 yuan, with no change.

This made Jia Zhang very worried, but since Jia Dongxu was the source of income for the family, she couldn't say anything about him.

"Qin Huairu, get up early tomorrow to buy meat. I will give you the ticket tomorrow morning. Don't buy too little and don't keep it for yourself." Jia Zhang said.

Qin Huairu nodded after hearing this.

"Qin Huairu, what do you mean? I'm asking you a question, don't you know how to answer? Do you want to be beaten?" Jia Zhang yelled.

"I know, Mom!" Qin Huairu said tearfully.

"Let's eat!" Jia Dongxu said. The three of them immediately reached out to grab the steamed buns, and the extra hand that came with it naturally became the stick.

Banggeng felt that the atmosphere at home was not right, so he remained silent and acted like an invisible person until Qin Huairu brought the meal, then he appeared at the table.

"Be good, Banggeng, eat more. We'll also have meat tomorrow, and make others jealous." Jia Zhang said while touching Banggeng's head.

"Thank you, grandma!" Banggeng said softly.

These soft and sweet words went straight into Jia Zhang's heart, and she loved the joke even more.

Qin Huairu took the noodles and started eating.

Holding the last pound of pork, Li Kailang came to Aunt Cui's house and shouted happily: "Auntie, I'm here to bring you meat!"

The person who came out was not Aunt Cui, but Cui Gang.

Li Kailang was a little surprised. Generally speaking, it was Aunt Cui or Cui Yuan who came out to meet people, and Cui Gang was rarely allowed to come out.

After all, he is still studying and is the hope of his family. If nothing happens, Cui Gang’s studies will not be disturbed.

"Well, Xiaogang, where is your brother?" Li Kailang asked.

"My brother hasn't come back yet, and my grandma is cooking." Cui Gang said.

Li Kailang knew that Cui Yuan was doing odd jobs outside and might not be back for sure.

"Grandma!" Li Kailang said in his heart.

Li Kailang didn't know how old Aunt Cui was, but he could guess it more or less. First of all, she was at least older than Yi Zhonghai. After all, even Yi Zhonghai had to call Aunt Cui "sister".

Yi Zhonghai is only in his early fifties this year, so Aunt Cui must be at least 55 years old.

Cui Yuan is 20 years old this year, so his parents are also around 40 years old.
Aunt Cui and Cui Yuan's parents are only 15 years apart.

20+15=35 years old

35÷2=17.5 years

According to this calculation, both Aunt Cui and Cui Yuan's parents became pregnant and gave birth to children at around the age of 17. If Aunt Cui was one or two years older, everything would be very reasonable.

The most important thing is that before the establishment of the city of Beijing, people generally got married early, around the age of 16 or 17, which is more reasonable.

However, Li Kailang still didn't know where Cui's father and mother had gone. After all, in his memory, he had no impression of them.

Almost ten years ago, Aunt Cui moved into the courtyard house with her two grandsons. At that time, the city had not yet been completely liberated.

"By the way, Xiaogang, take this meat." Li Kailang said as he handed the meat to Cui Gang.

"No, no, this is Brother Li's meat, how can I take it!" Cui Gang refused.

Look, this is the gap between people!

Li Kailang smiled and thought that this kid was quite well-behaved. "It's okay. Your brother Li has more at home! Take it!" As he said that, he stuffed the pork into Cui Gang's hand.

"Xiaogang, how could you take your brother Li's meat!" At this time, Aunt Cui also came out, and when she saw this scene, she hurriedly stopped it.

"Auntie, I gave it to Xiaogang." Li Kailang explained.

"How can this be? Xiaogang didn't help, how can he take it?" Aunt Cui also knew that Li Kailang had sent the meat.

After all, Li Kailang has a loud voice, and not only the whole yard knows about it, but even the yard next door knows about it.

"It's okay, Auntie. I have more. I can't finish it all myself. It's okay to share some with you." Li Kailang said with a smile.

"That won't do. Auntie, please pay for it." Auntie Cui said hurriedly.

"Aunt Cui, this won't do. I didn't collect any money from the previous families I sent the goods to. Please don't break the rules. If I collect money from you, how will they look at me?" Li Kailang explained hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Cui also understood, but she really didn't have anything in her house that could be sent back to Li Kailang.

"Okay, Aunt Cui, don't think too much, just cook the meat." Then she looked at Cui Gang and said, "Xiaogang, study hard and try to get into college in the future to bring honor to your family."

"Okay, Brother Li!"

"Okay, Auntie, I'm going back first." After saying that, Li Kailang left.

Aunt Cui touched Cui Gang's head and said, "Xiao Gang, remember what your brother Li said. When you get into college, you must repay him. Our family has nothing that can repay your brother Li.

Grandma is old and has little to live on, and your brother is also doing odd jobs on the street, so we have no one left but you.”

"Grandma!" Cui Gang's eyes sparkled with tears when he heard this.

"Xiaogang, hold back your tears. You are a man now and you can't cry." Aunt Cui said sternly.

Hearing this, Cui Gang immediately wiped away his tears and closed his mouth tightly.

Aunt Cui stroked Cui Gang's head and said slowly, "Xiao Gang, do you remember what grandma said?"

"Remember, I must get into university to repay Brother Li!" Cui Gang said firmly.

"Good children, good children, let's cook the meat today." Aunt Cui said happily.
