Chapter 277 Qin Huairu borrows money
At this time, He Yushui's face was also red. It was obvious that she had heard every word that He Feng had just said.
She hesitated for a moment, then replied softly, "Uncle, I think... um... the food my brother cooked today tastes pretty good."
Then, as if remembering something important, he turned to look at He Yuzhu and urged, "By the way, brother, didn't you hide a bottle of fine wine before? Why don't you take it out now for everyone to taste?"
He Yushui is still a girl after all, and she became shy all of a sudden and could only change the subject temporarily.
He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then he realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory! I do have a bottle of good wine stored there, wait, I'll go get it for everyone."
Having said that, he turned and walked towards the house. His steps seemed hurried, as if he was eager to escape from the slightly awkward atmosphere.
He Feng knew that he had said too much, so he didn't say anything more. In the future, when he talked to He Yuzhu, he had to do it behind He Yushui's back.
He Yuzhu turned and walked towards the place where the wine was placed, ready to bring back some fine wine. At this moment, Qin Huairu walked straight to Yi Zhonghai's house without hesitation.
Qin Huairu didn't even knock on the door, she just pushed it open and rushed in, yelling, "You old man, you really pissed me off!"
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was sitting at the table enjoying the steaming dumplings. You know, for them, this season is the most pleasant and comfortable time of the year.
In the past, He Yuzhu would always warmly invite him to his home to celebrate the festival and enjoy delicious food. However, what was unexpected was that the person He Yuzhu invited this year was not Yi Zhonghai, but the unknown He Feng! This really made Yi Zhonghai very angry and felt uncomfortable all over.
An old lady standing by couldn't help but feel annoyed when she saw Qin Huairu suddenly come to visit. After all, it was Chinese New Year, who would want someone to come to their house and disturb them for no reason?
However, out of consideration for her feelings, the aunt still forced herself to smile and greet her, and asked with concern: "Qin Huairu, you're here! Have you eaten yet?"
The aunt is not a fool. She naturally knows that there is something unclear between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, but she still pretends to know nothing.
Qin Huairu nodded slightly to indicate that she had already finished her meal. Then she changed the subject and said to Yi Zhonghai directly: "Uncle, can you please... borrow some money from you?" As she said this, her face was full of embarrassment.
Yi Zhonghai frowned, staring straight at Qin Huairu, and asked with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Qin Huairu, this is strange, why didn't you go to He Yuzhu to borrow some money?"
When Qin Huairu heard this, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears burst out like a flood. She looked at Yi Zhonghai with sobs, and replied in a trembling voice: "Uncle, you don't know! He Feng is at He Yuzhu's house, how can I ask him for money."
After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai showed a bit of helplessness on his face. He slowly took out a ten-yuan bill from his pocket, handed it to Qin Huairu and said, "Okay, don't cry! When I have time, I will go and talk to He Yuzhu. We are neighbors living in the same courtyard, so he should help with this little favor."
How could Yi Zhonghai not know that? It was He Feng who said something that caused He Yuzhu to not lend money to Qin Huairu's family.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly reached out to take the banknote and thanked him with tears in her eyes. However, just as she turned around and was about to leave, Yi Zhonghai suddenly stopped her and asked with concern: "Hey, Qin Huairu, do you want to stay and eat some dumplings?"
Qin Huairu actually wanted to eat dumplings very much, but when she thought of the old lady's face and her lukewarm attitude towards her, she quickly waved her hands and forced a smile, saying, "No, no, thank you, uncle. I'd better go back first." After that, she left in a hurry.
Looking at Qin Huairu's graceful back that gradually disappeared at the end of his sight, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sighed like a deflated ball. He slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on the middle-aged woman beside him. He sighed with a sad face: "Alas, I never dreamed that the once honest and kind-hearted He Yuzhu would become like this now!"
The aunt listened to Yi Zhonghai's words, but shook her head slightly in disapproval, then looked into the distance and said thoughtfully: "I don't think so. There is nothing wrong with Zhuzi's current state. Think about it, although he was honest before, he couldn't find a suitable wife because he was too honest. But now it's different. After these things, maybe he can control his temper and find a satisfactory wife to live with in the future. Isn't this also a good thing?"
Seeing that the aunt was so stubborn, Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt angry. But he knew that it would be futile to talk to the aunt, so he angrily threw his sleeves, turned around and walked out quickly.
The old lady did not show any concern about Yi Zhonghai's departure. She just stood there quietly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
In fact, she knew what Yi Zhonghai was thinking deep in his heart, but she was too lazy to expose it. Recalling her past experiences, there were many times when she wanted to teach He Yuzhu seriously, but Yi Zhonghai would always intervene inexplicably, causing her plan to fail.
Fortunately, He Feng has appeared now. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to discipline He Yuzhu and put him on the right track.
In the eyes of the aunt, He Yuzhu is as important as her own child. Her care and love for He Yuzhu comes from the heart, and is not mixed with many selfish thoughts like Yi Zhonghai.
After Yi Zhonghai walked out of the house with steady steps, he originally planned to go to He Yuzhu's house. However, when the scene of He Feng at He's house appeared in his mind, his steps could not help but stop.
He knew very well that even if he went there now, it would be difficult to get any useful information from He Yuzhu, not to mention communicating with the eloquent He Feng. Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel annoyed.
