Chapter 276 Jia Dongxu Gets Angry
It was the Spring Festival, and every household was decorated with lanterns and full of joy. He Yuzhu's home was also very lively. He personally filled He Feng's glass with fine wine, and the family sat together, talking and laughing, spending the New Year happily together.
However, in stark contrast to the He family was the Jia family next door. At this moment, Jia Dongxu was staring at Qin Huairu with an angry face, complaining non-stop: "Qin Huairu, look at how we're spending the New Year! Is there no one left in the family? There's not even a decent meat dish!"
Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu helplessly and responded softly: "Dongxu, you are not unaware of the current situation. Since He Yuzhu stopped helping us, where can we eat meat and vegetables?"
Hearing this, Jia Dongxu became even more angry. He pointed at Qin Huairu's nose and cursed, "Humph! You are simply a good-for-nothing waste! If it weren't for you and He Feng making the relationship so strained, how could our family's life have fallen into such a state?"
Qin Huairu never expected that Jia Dongxu would push all the responsibilities onto her. She was so angry that her face turned pale, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears of grievance.
Jia Dongxu felt upset when he saw Qin Huairu, and cursed her in his heart, saying that she was a good-for-nothing! He shouted impatiently, "Okay, stop crying, and go to Yi Zhonghai's house to see what they are eating!"
Jia Dongxu knew that he was a cripple now, otherwise he would have driven Qin Huairu away long ago. Jia Dongxu actually knew that there was something going on between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, but now he could only endure it.
Qin Huairu was so frightened by the roar that she dared not say a word. She could only turn around and walk towards Yi Zhonghai's house obediently.
In fact, she knew in her heart that she had to go out and find a way to get some food since her family was already struggling to make ends meet. And she could also stop by He Yuzhu's house. After all, today was Chinese New Year, and He Yuzhu wouldn't be so ruthless, right?
So, Qin Huairu trotted all the way to the door of He Yuzhu's house. She gently pushed the door open and saw He Yuzhu's family sitting around the dining table, talking and laughing while enjoying the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. The delicious food on the table exuded an enticing aroma, which made Qin Huairu swallow her saliva.
Qin Huairu was very angry. In previous years, He Yuzhu would have given her some money, but this year, because of He Feng's presence, he simply ignored her.
"Zhu Zi, the food in your family is so good!" Qin Huairu said with envy on her face.
He Yuzhu looked up at Qin Huairu with a smile on his face. After all, today was Chinese New Year, so he had to be polite: "Happy New Year, Sister Qin!"
However, Qin Huairu was not happy at all after hearing this. She remembered that when Jia Dongxu was not paralyzed, her family would have chickens, ducks, fish and meat every Chinese New Year, and it was very lively.
But now, the family is so poor that they can only eat hard-to-swallow steamed bread during the New Year. Thinking of this, Qin Huairu couldn't help complaining: "Zhu Zi, this is how you celebrate the New Year. Our family can't compare to this!"
He Yuzhu stared at Qin Huairu in front of him, knowing that the Jia family's life was quite difficult now. He was about to say something to comfort her, but suddenly heard his sister He Yushui's clear voice: "Brother, come over and have a drink!"
He Yuzhu was brought back to reality by the shout. He looked at Qin Huairu helplessly, and then said, "Sister Qin, it's New Year's Day, so I won't keep you any longer. You know, everyone's family is having a hard time these days." After that, he turned and walked towards the dining table.
He Yuzhu knew what He Yushui meant and almost fell into Qin Huairu's trap.
Qin Huairu opened her mouth and seemed to have a lot to say, but He Yuzhu didn't give her a chance and slammed the door shut.
Looking at the closed door, Qin Huairu was so angry that she trembled all over, and tears flowed uncontrollably. She could never have imagined that He Yuzhu, who was usually quite nice to her, would be so heartless today.
Qin Huairu planned to find an opportunity to teach He Yuzhu a lesson, so that he would not take her seriously. Besides, how could her family's lunch boxes disappear?
At this moment, inside the house, He Yuzhu had just sat down, and before his butt had even warmed up, he was greeted by the curious gaze of his younger sister, He Yushui.
He Yushui stared at her brother with a smile and asked, "Brother, if I hadn't stopped you in time, would you have said something inappropriate again?"
He Yuzhu's face turned red when he was asked this question. He stammered for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing this, He Yushui couldn't help but chuckle: "Haha, brother, you really are a dog that can't change its nature! Every time you see Qin Huairu, you become tongue-tied."
Just when He Yuzhu wanted to refute, He Feng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "He Yuzhu, then tell us why Qin Huairu is so nice to you?" This sentence was like a blockbuster bomb, and the whole room fell into silence in an instant.
He Feng just wanted He Yuzhu to understand the real purpose of Qin Huairu being nice to him.
He Yuzhu looked at He Feng and said, "Uncle, we all live in the same courtyard, and we are good neighbors. Besides, Jia Dongxu has become like this now."
He Feng stared at He Yuzhu with a burning gaze, and said with a half-smile on his face: "Neighbor? Humph! The so-called neighbor is the kind of person who acts very close to you in front of outsiders, and even takes the initiative to run in to help you wash your underwear. But you have to know that behind this surface phenomenon there are often unknown purposes and thoughts. In addition, I have another piece of news to tell you, Qin Huairu has already had an IUD, which means that even if you try your best to win her over, it is impossible for the two of you to have children."
After hearing this, He Yuzhu suddenly felt his face getting hot, and his originally fair face instantly turned red. He responded with some embarrassment and a hint of anger: "Uncle, why are you suddenly talking about this?" After that, he lowered his head, not daring to look He Feng directly in the eye.
However, He Feng did not respond to his words, but continued to stare at He Yuzhu intently, as if trying to see through his expression to see his true thoughts. After a while, he slowly asked: "Zhuzi, think about it yourself, how are you living in this courtyard now? Have you really figured out the human relationships and the right and wrong here?"
