Jia family.
Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu with joy.
They just came back from the countryside yesterday and didn't expect to encounter such a good thing!
All the grievances I suffered in the countryside suddenly disappeared.
Let’s talk about Jia Zhang first.
"Old Zhang, look at Zhang Cuihua. She's been back for a few days, but she hasn't been to the fields to work. She goes to the canteen to eat at a certain time every day!"
"This is earlier than anyone else. I haven't done any work, but I've eaten a lot!"
Someone complained to Village Chief Zhang, looking at Jia Zhang and Bang Geng who were wolfing down their food not far away.
Then he continued, "Look at what Zhang Cuihua eats. As soon as she comes to the cafeteria, she wants to eat meat. I don't think she comes back to work. Instead, she comes here to eat for free."
"I heard from the neighboring villages that they also came down from the city to eat for free."
Hearing this, Village Chief Zhang nodded as if in agreement.
"Hu~" He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"I understand. I'll take care of this matter. This Zhang Cuihua hasn't made any progress since she went to the city!"
"Bang Geng, eat more! Grandma didn't lie to you, eating meat every meal is much better than at home."
"Doesn't it taste much better than what your mother made? Your mother is also a useless person. Follow grandma from now on. Grandma will take care of you to eat good food."
Bang Geng buried his head in the food and ate it until his mouth was full of oil. Then he raised his head, chewed it quickly and swallowed it.
"Grandma, you are so awesome! I will follow you from now on!"
"Oh, Banggeng is so smart!" Jia Zhang touched Banggeng's head.
"Zhang Cuihua!"
"What's wrong? Can't you see I'm eating?" Jia Zhang replied unhappily.
When he looked up and saw that the person coming was actually the village chief, he was immediately a little frightened:
"Village Chief, why are you here?"
"Nothing, just came to see you guys, how's the food?"
Village Chief Zhang politely chatted with Jia Zhang for a few words, and this time he got straight to the point:
"Zhang Cuihua, I see you've been back for a few days. Have you had a good rest?"
"Our village is not rich. You see, everyone has to go to work on the farm every morning. Why don't you go?"
"Hey, village chief, you have to be more considerate of me!" Jia Zhang began to complain.
"Look, I'm already quite old, I don't have that much strength anymore, I can't bear to work any more."
Hearing this, Village Chief Zhang said sternly: "Zhang Cuihua, there are many people older than you in the village, and they are all working, so why can't you do it?"
Jia Zhang glanced at Village Chief Zhang with displeasure.
"Who am I? I'm from the city, not like you country folks!"
"I'm enjoying life in the city, I don't have to work. It's a rare opportunity for me to go to the countryside, but you guys are doing me a favor and you still want me to work!"
"Pooh!!!"
"Look at how shabby this village is. If it were in the past, I wouldn't have brought you back. If I didn't suddenly miss home, I wouldn't have brought you back."
Village chief Zhang pointed at Jia Zhang angrily and said, "Zhang Cuihua! You!!!" but he was speechless.
After all, Zhangjia Village is her hometown and the place where she, Jia Zhang, was raised.
No matter how good the village is, Jia Zhangshi cannot belittle it like this.
"What? I was right!" Jia Zhang looked gloating.
"Humph, you still want me to work? If you make me unhappy, I won't stay here any longer!"
Seeing this, Village Chief Zhang didn't plan to waste any more time talking to Jia Zhang.
"Zhang Cuihua, let me tell you, this is not the city. You can't do whatever you want here!"
"You want to enjoy life? Go back to your home in the city. You are not welcome here!"
As if he was not satisfied with what he said, Village Chief Zhang continued:
"Zhang Cuihua, don't think that just because you've lived in the city for a few years, you feel great and look down on us country folk just because you're a city dweller!"
"To tell you the truth, your household registration is still in the village and you haven't moved out yet!"
"You don't really think you're a city dweller. Aren't you just thinking about the few acres of land at home?"
Hearing this, Jia Zhang became furious, as her little thoughts were exposed.
She was most afraid of being called a rural person. She lost her urban hukou because she was greedy for a few acres of land.
Now she wants to change it but can't. Whenever she mentions this, Jia Zhang regrets not listening to Old Jia.
"You you fart!!!"
Seeing Jia Zhang so angry, Village Chief Zhang was also unceremonious:
"Zhang Cuihua, I'm telling you now, either you go to work in the fields tomorrow, or you go back to the city and enjoy your life!"
After saying that, Village Chief Zhang snorted coldly and turned away.
Jia Zhang looked at the back of Village Chief Zhang as he left: "Humph!"
"You still want me to work? Pay me! I won't do it. Let's see what you can do!"
The next day, some people gathered outside Jia Zhang's house.
There are both young and strong men, as well as elderly people in their seventies and eighties.
"Village chief, this Zhang Cuihua really didn't listen to you and even came out of the house!"
"Humph! This Zhang Cuihua was such a badass when she was young, and she is still like this now. Do you really think we can do anything to her?
"Do it!"
At a command, a young man kicked the door open, and then two strong women rushed in.
Looking at the sleeping Jia Zhang, he grabbed her and dragged her outside, not even letting go of Bang Geng!
Jia Zhang woke up instantly and started yelling and screaming.
"What are you doing! What are you doing!"
"bump!"
The strong woman threw Jia Zhang directly in front of Village Chief Zhang.
"Ah!!!" Jia Zhang touched the base of her buttocks in pain.
"Zhang Cuihua, you heard what I said yesterday, right?"
"Since you don't want to, then pack up and go back to the city today!"
Jia Zhang pointed at Village Chief Zhang and cursed:
"Zhang Gang, you are such a jerk! Do you think I gave you the face that you dare to treat me like this?"
Village Chief Zhang didn't even listen to what Jia Zhang said. He said to the strong woman, "Pack up Zhang Cuihua's things!"
"Zhang Gang, you want to send me back, but I won't go back!" Jia Zhang started to throw a tantrum.
She sat on the ground without any image, like a shrew.
Zhang Gang just smiled contemptuously and said to the old ladies around him:
"Big sister, I'm counting on you!"
An old woman nodded and said, "Don't worry, we can still deal with this thing whose parents are dead."
Then he came to Jia Zhang with a cane, trembling.
"Snapped!"
"what!"
The old woman hit Jia Zhang with her cane, leaving a red mark.
"You old woman, what are you doing? Do you want to die? How dare you hit me!"
"what!"
An old woman came down with her cane and hit Jia Zhang on the back.
"You old woman!" Jia Zhang wanted to get up, but was hit by a cane again.
"Ahhh-"
Jia Zhang's screams rose one after another, echoing through the sky.
One stick after another hit Jia Zhang without mercy.
Although she was old and didn't have much strength, Jia Zhang's "small body" couldn't bear being beaten so many times.
"I was wrong! I was wrong!"
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
Jia Zhang suddenly dreamed of the good life in prison.
"Cough cough!" Zhang Gang coughed twice, and the old women stopped.
"Help the old lady back and be careful!" Zhang Gang said to the young man next to him. He was worried that Jia Zhang would take the opportunity to take revenge.
"Zhang Cuihua, since you don't want to work, then go back to the city now. Our Zhangjia Village can't accommodate a big Buddha like you."
Jia Zhang was beaten so badly that she couldn't speak and kept gasping for breath.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Several packages were thrown on the ground. They were all luggage brought by Jia Zhang.
"I've packed your things, Zhang Cuihua, get out of here as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Zhang Gang and the others left, leaving only a strong woman staring at Jia Zhang.
Jia Zhang took her luggage, got on the bus dejectedly and went back to the city.

On the other hand, Qin Huairu was also having a hard time.
Lu Fengjuan said to Qin's mother who was working on the farm nearby: "Mom, my sister-in-law has been at home for several days. Isn't it time to let her go back?"
Mother Qin looked at Lu Fengjuan in confusion: "She has only been here for a few days, why let Huairu go back? We finally got together, let her stay a few more days." "Mom, it's been a few days, look at my sister-in-law these days, she's like a princess, with everything provided for her, she doesn't have to do any work!"
"She doesn't have to do the farm work, and she doesn't have to do any work at home. She stays at home and does nothing, and she only brings her daughter home with her."
"I don't know if she really came to the countryside to see us, or if she was driven out. If she stays any longer, she may not plan to go back! By then, we will have to raise children for others!"
"This..." Qin's mother was a little skeptical, but still hesitant.
Seeing Qin's mother's hesitation, Lu Fengjuan made up her mind.
"Pa!" Lu Fengjuan slapped herself.
"Mom, look at what I said, it's really outrageous. Huairu is my sister-in-law after all, how could I say such things! Damn it!"
"Clap!!!"
"Hey, daughter-in-law, don't hit yourself!" Qin's mother hurriedly stopped her.
Lu Fengjuan continued, "Mom, I see Huairu has been back for a few days. She has been sleeping with Huaihe these days. The bed is too small and she can't sleep well."
"I think you might as well just sleep in my room!"
"I'll sleep in your room, then where will you sleep?" Qin's mother asked puzzledly.
Lu Fengjuan immediately said, "Mom, let's endure a little hardship and go out to find a place to sleep. Sleeping outside won't affect the family, and it can also save a lot of food!"
Hearing this, Qin's mother immediately retorted: "No! I won't agree to this!"
"mom!"
"No, this is definitely not possible!" Qin's mother refused bluntly, leaving Lu Fengjuan no room for rebuttal or maneuver.
Seeing this, Lu Fengjuan smiled slightly and felt secretly happy.
Mother Qin said directly: "When I get back, I will tell Huairu that she has been back for a few days. It's time to go back!"
Lu Fengjuan just couldn't stand the way Qin Huairu lived leisurely every day, like a princess.
She lived so well in the city, while I lived so poorly in the countryside, busy from dawn to dusk every day.
"I, Lu Fengjuan, have never had such a leisurely life since I married into the Qin family. Even when I was pregnant for ten months, I had to work in the fields. Why can you, Qin Huairu, enjoy yourself at home?"
"I just want you Qin family to know that I, Lu Fengjuan, am not so easy to get along with. Either you separate and live your own lives, or send Qin Huairu back!"
Lu Fengjuan had such a deep hostility towards Qin Huairu that she resented Qin Huairu in her heart because every time she went back to the city, she would bring some meat.
The most important thing is that she knew that after marrying into the Qin family, she became an appendage of Qin Huairu.
"I was wondering why your Qin family was so rich to marry me. I wonder if the 5 yuan you gave to my family as a betrothal gift was given by Qin Huairu when she married into the city."
"I am actually Qin Huairu's dowry!!!"
The reason why Qin Huairu was so anxious to marry into the family was due to Qin Huairu's reasons as well as the thoughts of Qin's father and mother.
Qin Huairu's brother Qin Gang wanted to get married, but he had no money, so he asked Qin Huairu to marry into the city and asked for a dowry of 10 yuan, 5 yuan of which was given to Lu Fengjuan's parents.
Any woman who encounters this situation can be indifferent and act as if nothing happened.
Every time Qin Huairu returned home, she was met with ridicule and sarcasm, but she could only ignore it.
If Qin Huairu hadn't brought back a pile of cloth this time, there would have been a lot of ridicule.
With a good mood, Lu Fengjuan was doing farm work and time passed unknowingly.
Finally finishing the farm work, the two went back home.
Qin's mother walked back home with a heavy heart.
"Mom, we're home!" Lu Fengjuan reminded, pointing to Qin Huairu who was walking leisurely in front of her holding her child.
"Daughter-in-law." Mother Qin hesitated and turned to look at Lu Fengjuan.
Seeing his determined expression, he sighed.
"Huai Ru!" Qin's mother called out.
"Mom!" Qin Huairu turned around and saw them, and immediately came over holding Xiaodang.
Qin Huairu lived very comfortably these days, lying in bed and enjoying being cared for.
"So this is how Zhang Cuihua feels at home! So comfortable!"
"It's so nice to have everything you want, it's so great! I really want it to be like this forever!"
"Mom, is there anything wrong?" Qin Huairu came up to the two of them.
"Huai Ru, how have you been at home these past two days?" asked Qin's mother.
"It's great. I'm very happy to have my parents here!" Qin Huairu replied.
"That's good! That's good!" Qin's mother smiled.
Qin Huairu noticed her mother's bitter smile and asked anxiously, "Mom? What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"
"It's okay! Everything is fine at home!" Qin's mother shook her head.
"Huai Ru! You've been at home for a few days. How is your family in the city?"
Qin Huairu explained: "What else can I do? Everything is fine. We have our mom to take care of us! Besides, Bang Geng is already grown up."
Mother Qin said, "That's what you said, but you've been down here for a few days. If you don't go back to visit, I'm worried that your in-laws will say you're an unfilial grandson."
Qin Huairu was still confused and didn't know what her mother wanted to say.
Lu Fengjuan, who was watching from the side, was getting a little anxious. After talking for a long time, he still didn't get to the point.
Seeing this, Lu Fengjuan interrupted directly: "Huai Ru! You have also stayed at home for a few days, and you have seen that my parents are doing well, and our family is doing well too."
"You came here without bringing any food. Although your rations are not enough for our family, we don't have much food at home and it will run out one day."
Qin Huairu looked at Lu Fengjuan with a "sincere" face and guessed something in her heart.
Lu Fengjuan seemed to be disgusted with her and wanted to send her back.
The village opened a public canteen, so there was no need to cook. No food was touched at home, and eating the food was out of the question.
"Mom!" Qin Huairu looked at her mother.
Qin's mother lowered her head, avoided Qin Huairu's gaze, and did not dare to look her in the eye.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu had no choice but to send her back.
Qin Huairu smiled bitterly: "I understand, I will pack up and leave soon!"
Lu Fengjuan quickly stopped him: "Hey, Huairu, why do you want to go back so suddenly? Stay a few more days!"
Qin Huairu looked at the sanctimonious Lu Fengjuan. It was her idea that everything came up.
"No, I've stayed here long enough. Bang Geng is at home, I'm worried, I have to go back to check on him!"
After saying that, Qin Huairu went home to pack her things.
Lu Fengjuan did not stop him and just stepped aside.
Mother Qin turned to look at Qin Huairu and wanted to speak.
"Mom!" Lu Fengjuan warned.
Mother Qin opened her mouth but said nothing.
"Mom, I'm going out for a while!" Lu Fengjuan couldn't bear to see this situation, so she turned around and left.
Qin's mother hurried into the house and saw Qin Huairu packing her things.
"Huai Ru!" Mother Qin hurriedly walked towards Qin Huai Ru.
Qin Huairu stretched out her hand to stop her from speaking: "Mom, you don't have to say anything, I understand, this is not what you mean, it's what my sister-in-law means!"
"Yes, I have been at home for a few days. It's time to go back!"
"Huai Ru!" Qin's mother called softly.
Mother Qin explained: "Mom, there is nothing I can do. It is your sister-in-law who wants you to leave. If you don't leave, your sister-in-law will split the family!"
"You also know the situation at home. Separating the family is absolutely not an option. I'm sorry to have to let you suffer!"
"Mom, I'm sorry!"
Qin Huairu's tears welled up in her eyes, but she held back her tears: "I know! I don't blame mom!"
Turn around and continue packing.
The Qin family has 7 people, 2 parents and 5 children.
Qin Gang is the eldest brother and Qin Huairu is the eldest sister, and both of them are adults.
Qinhuaihe is a little older and is about to reach adulthood.
But the two children are still young, only in their teens, and that is the time when they can eat their father out of money.
At Mr. Qin's current age, he is no longer able to support two children.
I can only let Qin Gang down and bear the burden of the family.
Lu Fengjuan has always wanted to split up the family because she doesn't want to be dragged down by the current situation of the Qin family, but this matter has been suppressed by Qin's father and mother.
In the end, he had no choice but to agree with Lu Fengjuan's idea and drive Qin Huairu away.
"Mom, I'm leaving first!"
Soon, Qin Huairu packed up her things and prepared to leave.
"Huai Ru, wait for mom!"
Qin's mother stopped Qin Huairu and hurried to the kitchen to give Qin Huairu the bacon.
"Take this meat with you. We have more at home. You can eat better in the city!"
Qin Huairu looked at her mother with tears in her eyes. Her mother still loved her.
"Huai Ru! You must live well in the city!"
Mother Qin wiped away Qin Huairu's tears, then went into the room with a hard heart, not daring to look at Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu looked at her mother hiding in the room, then looked around at everything in the house. Finally, she left reluctantly and returned to the city!
