At Jia's house, Jia Zhang was sewing shoe soles on the bed. When she saw Qin Huairu coming back, she asked with a squint, "How is it? What did that bastard do with all these things?"
She saw Li Qinghe as soon as he entered the central courtyard. Not to mention the things tied to the back seat, just the big rooster hanging on the handlebars was enough to make her greedy.
But after what happened last time, she didn't dare to pretend to stab him again, and could only let Qin Huairu give it a try.
"Don't mention it. That's for the uncle and Shazhu to become godchildren. They don't want to do it in our house." Qin Huairu was a little depressed.
Jia Zhang was immediately unhappy and yelled, "What?! You don't want to do it at our house? Why? We always did it here before, why can't we do it this time?!"
Qin Huairu quickly signaled her to lower her voice, "Mom, they are adopted relatives. If they do it in our house, people will gossip about it."
She also wanted to do that. If she did it at the Jia family, their whole family would enjoy the meal to their heart's content. But they couldn't just do it as they wished. Even if He Yuzhu was willing, Dayeye and Li Qinghe would not agree.
"You're still recognizing a adopted relative? What's the point of recognizing one! If you don't have a son, just wait for the family to be extinct. If you're going to have no descendants, then you're going to have no descendants. You have to accept your fate. Can recognizing a adopted relative become a relative?" Jia Zhang ignored Qin Huairu and continued to yell.
Qin Huairu was frightened and quickly covered her mouth, "Mom, please keep your voice down. You can't say that."
She really realized how stupid Jia Zhang was.
Yelling about others being childless and asking them to accept their fate, if an old man heard this, he would smash down their door and tell them not to help in the future. Even if he didn't kill them, he would consider it a good temper.
"That's right. He Yuzhu is an unfilial son. His father is still alive, but he already acknowledged him as his godfather. If Banggeng dares to do the same, I will beat him to death!"
Banggeng, who was pretending to do his homework, heard that there was still something for him to do. He looked up at his grandmother and snorted.
Qin Huairu didn't know what to do at this moment. Listening to Jia Zhang's words, some of her original little thoughts were instantly extinguished, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
She suddenly thought of something, "Mom, if Sha Zhu recognized an uncle as his godfather, would he still help us?"
Jia Zhang, who was feeling proud, was stunned for a moment. It seemed to be true.
In the past, old man Yi Zhonghai wanted Qin Huairu to take care of him in his old age, so he always sent him gifts secretly and helped to take care of him.
But now that they have a godson, Sha Zhu must be provided for in his old age. Doesn't Yi Zhonghai have to help Sha Zhu with all his strength? Will he still care about the Jia family?
But then I thought of that guy Sha Zhu. How could he ignore his own family?
"Why are you worrying about this? Even if the old guy doesn't care about us, we still have Sha Zhu. How can he ignore us? From now on, Yi Zhonghai's assets will belong to him. Just let him use them to help us."
But these words did not dispel Qin Huairu's doubts. She always felt as if she had missed something, but she couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
Maybe I'm overthinking it?
"By the way, you have to keep an eye on your cousin. Don't let her get involved with Li Qinghe. Don't introduce her to him, no matter who else." Jia Zhang said suddenly.
Qin Huairu sighed helplessly, "I know even if you don't tell me. The relationship between the two families has become so chaotic, how can we introduce them? But I can't control my cousin. She can come to the city by herself even if I don't introduce her. I am her cousin, not her mother. Now she is still asking me, and I have to make up an excuse to appease her. I don't know how long it will last."
"Don't let her meet Li Qinghe. You are her cousin, so she has to listen to you." Jia Zhang said coldly, "If she doesn't listen, we won't let her into our house anymore. Let's see where she lives in the city."
Qin Huairu stared at Jia Zhang with wide eyes. She didn't expect her to say such a thing. "Mom, what are you talking about? If the neighbors knew about this, we would be criticized and I would never be able to go back to my parents' home again."
People take kinship very seriously these days. If she did this, she really wouldn't be able to return to her parents' home. If she went home in the future, she would probably be kicked out, and her parents would also be subject to gossip in the village.
"This old hag is so brainless that she can do such a thing." Qin Huairu complained in her heart.
"I don't care. Anyway, she can't look for Li Qinghe. Otherwise, it would be immoral. You'd better break up with such relatives as soon as possible!" Jia Zhang said with her triangular eyes slanted.
She hoped that Qin Huairu would have a falling out with her natal family, so that Qin Huairu would have no way out and would be tied to the Jia family. Wouldn't that mean she could control her at will?
Forget about remarrying in the future. You have to depend on her mood even for eating.
When she thought of this, Jia Zhang felt happy.
Qin Huairu is not a fool, how could she do something that would cut off her own path? "I won't do it. Anyway, I can't drive my cousin away. Free love is advocated now. The idea of parents' orders and matchmaker's words has been overturned. Even if it hasn't been overturned, my cousin's marriage is not something I can decide. I know what you are thinking. Don't think you are the only smart one. If it is other things, I can agree with you, but this one, there is absolutely no way."
Jia Zhang immediately refused to accept the offer, "Are you planning a rebellion? How dare you talk to me like that?"
Now that the conversation was over, Qin Huairu calmed down. She stared at her and said calmly, "If you want to live a good life, then you should know your limits. Otherwise, we can break up. I can still have children. At worst, I can go back to my parents' home and find a country man to live with. You can live on your own in the city."
Jia Zhang's heart trembled when she saw Qin Huairu's eyes. She lowered her head and pretended to sew the soles of shoes. "Hmph, don't threaten me with this. I'm doing this for your own good. Why would you want such a poor relative? He can't help at all, and you have to provide food and accommodation for him when he comes."
Qin Huairu didn't want to fall out with him, so when she saw the other party give in, she stopped talking and went out to cook.
No matter how poor her relatives in the countryside were, they were still her retreat. After all, they were family. She could go back if she couldn't stay in the city anymore. If she severed ties, not only would her parents not be able to hold their heads up in the village, she would also be bullied in the Jia family.
Qin Huairu tolerated Jia Zhangshi only for the sake of her child, but she could not touch her bottom line.
Seeing Qin Huairu leaving, Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and waved, "Banggeng, come here."
"What's the matter, grandma?" Banggeng walked over puzzled.
Jia Zhang said in a tempting tone: "Do you want to eat chicken legs?"
"I do!" Banggeng nodded vigorously, drooling at the corners of his mouth when he thought of the delicious chicken legs.
"Then you go to the old man's house later. When they are about to eat, just stare at the door. You will definitely get a lot of good things. Do you understand?" Jia Zhang whispered.
Banggeng's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement, thinking that his grandmother was really smart.
