Shaking his head, Yi Zhonghai looked calm:
"They said the Jia family had run out of food, so they wanted to borrow some from me."
"Why?"
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the auntie jumped up instantly as if her tail was stepped on:
"The Jia family has no food to eat, what does it have to do with him, Sha Zhu? Besides, when I came back today, I saw them eating white flour buns. You..."
Halfway through her words, the aunt suddenly turned her gaze to Yi Zhonghai:
"Old Yi, you're not really going to send food to the Jia family, are you?"
"Ah~"
Yi Zhonghai sighed, his expression helpless:
"Dongxu is my apprentice after all. If something happens to his family, I have to take care of him a little."
"Besides, we still have to rely on that kid Banggeng for our retirement..."
"I……"
As Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the aunt could only swallow back what she was about to say:
Her biggest regret in her life was that she was unable to give birth to a child for Yi Zhonghai.
"Go prepare a few pounds of cornmeal, and I'll deliver it to the Jia family in the evening."
"Ah."
Nodding, the aunt sighed and went into the kitchen to get busy:
In fact, she felt that Banggeng was not a good guy, but since Lao Yi had made up his mind, she could only let him do what he wanted.
"Sister Qin, Sister Qin..."
While Yi Zhonghai was talking to the aunt, Sha Zhu had already stood at the door of the Jia family.
"Pillar?"
The door opened, and Qin Huairu glanced at Sha Zhu's hands:
"Did you get any meat?"
"No, no."
Feeling Qin Huairu's expectant eyes, Sha Zhu felt guilty for a moment:
"But don't worry, Sister Qin. I will definitely bring you some meat tomorrow."
"It can only be the."
Qin Huairu has always maintained a gentle, kind and considerate personality in front of Sha Zhu. Of course, she can't get angry just because of a meal of meat.
When his eyes fell on Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu's eyes reddened slightly, and then he sighed with a bit of sadness:
"It's just a pity for Banggeng. He didn't eat well today."
Seeing Qin Huairu's expression, Sha Zhu felt his blood boiling, and he wanted to slap his chest to pieces with both hands:
"Don't worry, Sister Qin, I will make sure that kid has a good meal tomorrow."
"By the way, an old man asked me to help pass on a message."
In order to make his sister Qin less sad, Sha Zhu even cleverly chose the method of diverting attention.
"What?"
Sure enough, when Qin Huairu heard Sha Zhu's words, his expression changed instantly:
"Zhu Zi, what did the uncle ask you to say?"
"He's out of meat, but he still has some cornmeal. You can get it later."
As the words came out, Sha Zhu showed a cheerful expression:
"I asked my uncle for this."
Seeing that Sha Zhu was asking for a reward from her for a little cornmeal, Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with subtle disdain.
But when facing Sha Zhu, her face was full of gratitude:
"Thank you, Zhuzi, and thank you, Uncle. My family can finally have a full meal."
After finishing speaking, Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu again:
"Just...when should I go get the cornmeal?"
"This……"
Seeing Qin Huairu being so grateful to him, Sha Zhu couldn't help but smile.
But when he heard Qin Huairu's question, Sha Zhu was stunned again:
Yi Zhonghai didn't tell him the time either.
"I know the time."
Just when Sha Zhu was struggling over whether or not to go back to Yi Zhonghai to ask, a voice suddenly rang out.
"mom?"
Looking at Jia Zhang who appeared behind him, Qin Huairu couldn't help but be stunned:
"Why are you here?"
"This is my home, why can't I be here!"
As soon as Qin Huairu finished speaking, Jia Zhang snorted coldly:
She knew that Sha Zhu was looking for Qin Huairu late at night, so she hid aside and eavesdropped.
"Aunt Jia, Sister Qin is also concerned about you, why do you have to..."
"When will it be the turn of an outsider to take charge of my family's affairs?"
With a gloomy face, Jia Zhang interrupted Sha Zhu's words, revealing an undisguised look of disdain:
"The message has already been delivered, but you are still here. Do you want me to treat you to a meal?"
"I……"
Hearing what Jia Zhang said, Sha Zhu almost vomited blood on the spot.
Chapter 139 Yi Zhonghai meets Jia Zhang at night
With Sha Zhu's personality, if he didn't have any feelings for Qin Huairu, he would have slapped Jia Zhang in the face by now:
He doesn't understand what it means to respect the elderly and love the young.
But now, Sha Zhu could only open his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.
"Zhu Zi, you should go back first."
Seeing that Sha Zhu was in an awkward situation, Qin Huairu quickly took over the conversation:
"Don't worry, you've done so much, I will definitely repay you."
"to make."
Being stared at by Jia Zhang's triangular eyes, Sha Zhu had no mood to stay here any longer.
After hearing Qin Huairu's words, he nodded directly:
"Sister Qin, I'm right across the street. If you need anything, just give me a shout."
'Pooh! ’
Watching Sha Zhu's back as he left, Jia Zhang spat out a mouthful of yellow phlegm:
"You came to my doorstep in the middle of the night to flirt with me, Qin Huairu. I'm warning you, you'd better not do anything to let down my Dongxu."
"Mom~"
Although Qin Huairu was extremely annoyed by Jia Zhang's defensiveness, after hearing her words, he still had to respond helplessly:
"He just came to pass on a message. What can I do with him?"
"Who can tell clearly about this kind of thing?"
Staring at Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang's expression did not ease at all:
"Anyway, if you dare to do anything to let Dongxu down, I will tear you apart alive."
"I see."
Seeing the ferocious expression on Jia Zhang's face, Qin Huairu felt a little indifferent:
I have already done what I should and shouldn't do. What can you, an old hag, do to me?
No matter how she complained in her heart, on the surface, Qin Huairu remained docile and obedient:
"Mom, when did the old man ask us to go get the cornmeal? Tell me..."
"You don't have to worry about this."
Before Qin Huairu could finish her words, Jia Zhang interrupted her with a wave of her hand:
"I'll get the cornmeal. You should clean up the dishes and go back to bed."
"I see."
Qin Huairu's eyes drifted across Jia Zhang's face, and his expression was slightly puzzled, but in the end he didn't say much.
"Humph!"
It was not until Qin Huairu turned and left that Jia Zhang snorted coldly and looked towards the direction of Yi Zhonghai's room.
That night, after everyone had gone to bed, Jia Zhang quietly put on her clothes, opened the door and slowly walked out...
At the same time, Yi Zhonghai also walked out of the room with half a bag of cornmeal prepared by Auntie:
"You go to sleep first. I'll be back soon after I deliver the cornmeal."
