Qin Huairu was extremely confused, nervous and excited. She was thinking about how to drive Jia Zhang away, what benefits would come from driving her away, and how to eliminate the impact that would come from driving her away.
She jogged all the way back home and didn't even notice the three aunties who greeted her and just walked past her in a hurry.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Jia Zhang sitting on the bed sewing shoe soles. This scene reminded her of what Li Qinghe had said to her, that Banggeng was taking the blame. She also remembered how satisfied Jia Zhang had looked while eating rice and steamed buns in the past two days.
His face suddenly turned gloomy.
Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu coming back and was pleasantly surprised. "You are finally back. You got your salary today, right? Hurry up and buy me some painkillers. Also, give me my three dollars for retirement first."
Qin Huairu's face became gloomier again.
A bottle of painkiller costs two dollars, and the pension money is three dollars, which means five dollars is gone. One-fifth of her salary of 27.5 yuan is spent on Jia Zhang.
This is how I have been living all these years.
Otherwise, life wouldn't be so difficult. She had complained before, but it was of no use. Jia Zhang didn't care about the family's conditions at all and only kept asking her for money.
Li Qinghe's words today made her have different ideas, especially when Jia Zhang instigated Banggeng to steal things, which made her extremely anxious.
My son must not be ruined!
He asked with a sullen face, "Mom, let me ask you, where did the rice and flour you ate these two days come from?"
Jia Zhang was stunned, her face was flustered for a moment, and she said calmly: "Where else could it have come from? Didn't I tell you that I bought it with my pension money? Oh, you don't buy fine grains for Banggeng to eat, and you don't allow me to use my pension money to buy it. You, as a mother, don't love your child, but I, as a grandmother, do."
She is a veteran actress, and she is very good at telling lies without thinking. I learned this from her.
"I wouldn't say anything if you touched the pension money, but I heard that it was taken from someone else."
Qin Huairu stared into Jia Zhang's eyes, her tone calm.
Jia Zhang's face trembled, she didn't dare to look into Qin Huairu's eyes, but she said without hesitation, "That bastard dared to make up a rumor about me! I spent my own money to buy things, how come they were uncomfortable? This is bullying, this kind of person should have no descendants. And, Qin Huairu, you don't even believe me, and you listen to outsiders, are you a family member of ours!"
"Yeah."
Qin Huairu remained calm. She knew her mother-in-law too well. There was no way that little trick could fool her.
"Okay, since you said so, then I'll believe you. The other party is planning to call the police. Since it wasn't you, I'm relieved. You take a rest. I'll go cook.
"By the way, Bang Geng is still a child. If I have anything to do with him, I will definitely protect him. After all, he is young and the police will believe that he was instigated by someone. I think he should be fine after a little education."
When Jia Zhang heard this, she trembled all over, threw the sole of the shoe in her hand to the ground, jumped up and started cursing.
"What! You called the police over those two bites of food! Are you still a human being? Aren't you afraid of giving birth to a son who won't have any Y!!"
He turned around a few times in the middle of cursing, and then continued to spit foul language, "How can there be such a person! Do you have any conscience? There is so much food left at home, why not give us some? He won't give us any, and he won't even let us have it ourselves!"
After scolding, she still felt unsatisfied and continued to scold Qin Huairu, "And you! I am your mother-in-law! How can you be so ungrateful! Don't forget, you are my daughter-in-law of the Jia family! Your job belongs to my son!
"You think I'm an old woman getting in the way of your business? You want to kick me out so you can remarry!
"I'm telling you, as long as I'm still alive, you'll give up on this idea. If you dare to disobey me, I'll go to the factory and make a scene, and you'll lose your job!"
Qin Huairu didn't say anything. She just listened quietly to Jia Zhang's cursing without any sign of anger or fear. In the past, she really didn't dare to resist and could only wipe her tears silently. But now, Li Qinghe's words gave her courage.
So, he opened the fat hand that was pointing at his nose and stared at Jia Zhang, "I've told you many times not to mess with Li Qinghe, why don't you listen?
"You know what kind of person he is. He has brains, ability, understanding of human nature, and is ruthless. You've suffered twice, but why don't you learn your lesson?
"Go ahead and make a scene if you have the guts. It's best to go to the factory director's office and see if he'll indulge you!"
The more Qin Huairu spoke, the angrier she became, but her face became calmer. "Also, I am Jia Dongxu's wife. Legally and nominally, he and I are a family. You can only come in behind me. His job quota is what I deserve. Do you think you can get me out by making trouble at the factory? You're overthinking. Also, when Dongxu got into trouble, it was inconvenient for me to stay in confinement, so you collected the pension in my name. How much is it in total? Give it all out."
Jia Zhang wanted to throw a tantrum, but Qin Huairu interrupted her immediately, "Don't throw a tantrum with me, it's useless. You have been claiming the pension for so long, it's time to give it to me. Don't forget, you signed it with my name."
"Don't even think about it!" Jia Zhang jumped up and shouted.
This is going to cost her her life. That money is her lifeblood. Even if it is a stick, it has to take a back seat compared to the money.
She was afraid that Qin Huairu would ignore her one day, but at least she had her family's financial support.
If I hand this over, I won't have the confidence to make a scene in the future.
Qin Huairu didn't care whether she was willing or not, and sneered, "Don't think I can't find it if you don't take it out. The house is so small, I know all the places where you can hide things. It's just that I didn't want to look for it before, not that I couldn't find it."
That's right. The Jia family has such a small space that the whole family has to sleep in such a crowded place. With Jia Zhang's brain, how could she possibly hide it from Qin Huairu?
Jia Zhang was immediately furious, "If you dare to touch my coffin, I will fight you to the death!"
Money is all she has, how can she be willing to give it?
In the play, Qin Huairu was sick and hospitalized, but she didn't even go to see a doctor because she was afraid of spending money.
Later, He Yuzhu told her that it would cost a large sum of money to cure her, so she became even more reluctant to go and left Qin Huairu to fend for herself. Although He Yuzhu had lied to her, her true nature was undoubtedly exposed.
Qin Huairu has decided to be strong to the end. For her son, she can do anything.
"It's not up to you this time!"
He had to deal with the matter of Banggeng stealing things himself. From Li Qinghe's words and Jia Zhang's performance, it was clear that this matter was true and Li Qinghe had evidence.
"They already have evidence and are waiting to hand it over to the police. Do you think you can just take their things whenever you want? Let me tell you, they have made it very clear that either you get out, or you and Bang Geng will be sent to jail together. You can choose between these two options.
"I warned you not to let Banggeng steal things, but you didn't listen and I couldn't save you. You should have heard that you will suffer the consequences if you do evil.
"But you are my mother-in-law, and I will not ignore you. If you don't want to go back to the countryside, I can ask a matchmaker to find you a family, or you can go back to your parents' home."
"This damn bastard! He deserves to be struck by lightning..."
