Chapter 757 Jia Zhang visits her parents’ graves

Jia Zhang snorted coldly: "How much money do you want?"

Wen Jianqiong blurted out: "Five yuan a month!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she opened her mouth in surprise, her face full of disbelief.

"Are you crazy about money? Five yuan a month, how can you refuse? You two can't even earn five yuan by farming for a month, right?"

Wen Jianqiong defended herself, "Five yuan a month may seem like a lot, but your grandson has a bad temper, so we have to bear a lot of responsibility."

"Don't say anything. I'll give you a maximum of two dollars a month. Otherwise, forget it."

"That's fine, at least four dollars a month."

"Two dollars and one, don't be too greedy."

"Three yuan and nine, no less."

After half an hour of bargaining, the two finally reached a cooperation agreement at a price of three yuan per month.

After the price was agreed upon, Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"Can you be the boss? Will the sledgehammer agree?"

Wen Jianqiong said confidently: "If you go and tell him, he will definitely not agree. If I go and tell him, he will definitely agree."

Jia Zhang raised her eyes slightly and said, "In that case, I will return to the city first and send the stick stems to you in three days."

Wen Jianqiong pretended to persuade her to stay, saying, "Sister, you finally came back to your parents' home, why don't you stay at my house for a night before you leave!"

Jia Zhang shook her head and said, "No, Dachui doesn't like me, and I don't want to see his face."

"Okay, I have to go, or I'll miss the bus back to the city."

"Then take care, big sister. I won't see you off!"

“No need for you to send me off!”

Zhang Dachui saw Wen Jianqiong coming back alone and asked curiously, "Where is that ungrateful Zhang Xiaohua?"

Wen Jianqiong said casually: "She has returned to the city!"

Zhang Dachui asked in confusion: "She has returned to the city? Did she come back just to burn paper for her parents?"

Wen Jianqiong shook her head and said, "You think too much. Your elder sister is just as you said. She is cold-hearted. Burning paper for your parents is not pious at all. She is just pretending."

"Saying that she was burning paper for your parents was just an excuse. She came back this time mainly to ask us for something."

Zhang Dachui was even more confused, and said with a frown:

"Since she wanted something from us, why did she leave before she even asked?"

Wen Jianqiong said calmly, "Because I have already agreed to your sister's request."

"You've already agreed?"

Zhang Dachui flew into a rage, raised his hand and slapped Wen Jianqiong, angrily saying:

"Wen Jianqiong, you old woman are getting more and more presumptuous. Why did you agree to this before I even discussed it with you? Do you still take me seriously?"

"I am the head of this family. It is not your turn to make the decisions. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will beat you to death."

Wen Jianqiong touched his beaten face and angrily said, "Zhang Dachui, are you crazy?"

"Don't you know my character? How can I agree to something that is not good for our family?"

Zhang Dachui's face was still full of anger, and he said coldly:

"No matter if it's good for our family or not, you shouldn't have agreed to that ungrateful person without consulting him."

Wen Jianqiong said angrily: "Zhang Dachui, can you stop being so chauvinistic? I'm telling you now, is that okay?"

Zhang Dachui said coldly, "Then tell me! I want to see how much benefit it will bring to our family that makes you so eager to agree."

Upon hearing this, Wen Jianqiong recounted the entire story in great detail, and after finishing, he even smiled triumphantly.

Zhang Dachui yelled, "Wen Jianqiong, have you never seen money in your entire life? Are you so happy just because of three yuan?"

"Only three yuan?"

Wen Jianqiong sneered, "Zhang Dachui, you are so arrogant. Can you earn three yuan a month?"

"The second son is old enough to get married, and Tiedan is old enough to go to school. They all need money, but there is no money yet."

"I like money, but I am forced to do this because of poverty. Do you think I am willing to please your sister who looks down on others?"

Zhang Dachui sighed and said, "I didn't say that your love of money is bad. I love money too, but a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. You have to consider the risks behind these three yuan a month."

"My ungrateful sister also said that her grandson is extremely naughty. If something happens, can we explain it clearly?"

"You may not know my ungrateful sister. She is a shrew who will make trouble even when there is no reason. If his grandson gets hurt, I'm afraid we won't be able to earn her three yuan, but will have to pay a large sum of money."

"Don't worry, boss. I won't let anything happen to Bang Geng."

"There are unexpected storms in the sky, and people are subject to misfortunes at any time. How can you guarantee that Banggeng will not get into trouble?"

"I have thought it through. When Bang Geng comes to our house, I will lock him up in the house with an iron chain. As long as I don't let him go out, he won't have the chance to do anything even if he wants to."

"What the hell? Locking Banggeng at home? If Zhang Xiaohua knew about this, she would definitely make a scene."

"No, Zhang Xiaohua has already said that she sent her grandson to the countryside because she wanted him to suffer a little, to temper his temper and get rid of his bad temper."

"I always feel that this is unreliable, why don't we just forget it?"

"What do you mean by count? Don't you want to find a wife for your second son? Don't you want to send your eldest grandson to school?"

"Can we think of other solutions?"

Wen Jianqiong said angrily: "What else can I do? I'll take care of it. You don't have to worry about it!"

Zhang Dachui was silent for a long time, sighed, and said helplessly: "Okay then!"

……

After a bumpy journey, it was already past nine o'clock when Jia Zhang returned to the courtyard.

Qin Huairu asked impatiently, "Mother-in-law, how is it? Did your family agree to bring Banggeng?"

Jia Zhang looked exhausted and said weakly, "Did you leave any dinner for me? I'm almost starving."

Qin Huairu said with a little embarrassment: "I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow, so I didn't prepare dinner for you."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang's triangular eyes widened and she stared at Qin Huairu, as if she wanted to eat Qin Huairu alive.

Qin Huairu also felt a little guilty, and said in a gentle voice:

"Mother-in-law, don't be angry. I'll go cook something for you now."

"Wait a minute, pour me a glass of water first. I'm hungry and thirsty now. I haven't eaten a grain of rice or a drop of water all day in order to catch the bus..."

"Thank you for your hard work, mother-in-law. I'll pour you some water now."

Half an hour later, Qin Huairu brought Jia Zhang a large bowl of cornmeal porridge.

Without saying a word, Jia Zhang picked up the chopsticks and began to eat with a snorting noise. Her eating speed was not much better than that of a pig snatching food.

Less than three minutes later, Jia Zhang drank the last mouthful of cornmeal porridge, burped, and said with an unhappy face:

"There's only cornmeal porridge, nothing else to eat?"

Qin Huairu frowned and said, "Jia Zhang, that's enough. Where can I get anything else to eat at this late hour?"

"Now that you've finished eating, isn't it time to talk about the results of your trip?"
