"Qin Huairu, I told you to take it, so you just took it. Why are you so fussy?" Jia Dongxu still refused to admit that he had stolen anything, and frantically hinted to Qin Huairu: "Did you hide it in the kitchen cabinet or in the rice jar?"
Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly shouted to Yan Jiecheng, "Yan Jiecheng, what are you standing there for? Didn't you see that Jia Dongxu is unwilling to return the bacon and salted fish? Go and report it to the police."
He didn't want the fact that Jia Dongxu stole things to be easily exposed. It would be best if he could arrest him, or at least fine him.
Otherwise it would be too easy for Eunuch Jia.
Seeing that Yan Jiecheng really listened to Xu Damao's words, Jia Dongxu became anxious and patted the wheelchair and shouted, "No, no, no, if Qin Huairu doesn't go to get it, I'll go!"
Having said that, he pushed his wheelchair back into the house.
Seeing how quickly Jia Dongxu's expression changed, everyone present shook their heads.
"What kind of person is this? He doesn't even dare to admit what he did, but he lets his wife take the blame."
"It's just that Third Master doesn't want to pursue the matter, otherwise he would have to learn a lesson."
"Why are the people in the Jia family always so dishonest? It's really frustrating to encounter something like this during the New Year."
"Hey, don't leave anything in the yard anymore, or you might get thieves someday."
When Jia Dongxu went back to the house to get the bacon, he almost got angry when he heard these discussions.
But he had no way to refute it, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and found the bacon and salted fish and returned them to Yan Bugui.
"Third Uncle, look, are these what you are looking for?"
Yan Bugui first checked the bacon and salted fish. After making sure that no piece of meat was missing, he carried the bacon and salted fish back to the front yard without even looking at Jia Dongxu.
"Since Jia Dongxu has already voluntarily handed over the bacon, let's all go our separate ways."
Liu Haizhong glanced at Jia Dongxu with some disdain, and then asked everyone in the courtyard to disperse.
Everyone in the courtyard knew what kind of person the Jia family was. However, they didn't expect that Jia Dongxu was not only dishonest, but also had a first-class skill in shifting the blame. No one wanted to have anything to do with the Jia family anymore.
Qin Huairu wiped her tears and returned home sobbing.
Although Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi don’t care much about their family’s reputation, Qin Huairu does.
Nowadays, everyone lives in a courtyard house, and the relationship between neighbors is very important. A bad reputation can have a great impact on the whole family.
The reason why Qin Huairu was unwilling to take the blame was for this reason. She thought that the Jia family's reputation had been ruined, and she had to protect her own reputation, otherwise when Banggeng grew up, the children in the yard would definitely exclude him.
Seeing that the matter was over, Jia Dongxu still wanted to scold Xu Damao.
This guy actually dared to call me Eunuch Jia, he deserves to die.
But when he looked up in the direction of Xu Damao, he found that Xu Damao was looking at him with an expectant look, as if he was waiting for him to run into the muzzle of the gun.
Thinking of the various experiences he had experienced when Xu Damao overturned him, Jia Dongxu turned his wheelchair around and went home.
If I can't afford to offend you, can't I just hide away?
If you have the guts, just wait and see, I will kill you sooner or later!
After entering the house and closing the door, Jia Dongxu felt that he was fine again, and began to greet the people in the yard while cursing.
"What kind of nonsense is this? Holding a meeting with just some bacon and salted fish is a waste of time!"
"And that Xu Damao, he actually dared to give me a nickname. When my son grows up, I will definitely pin him to the ground and beat him up. No, Xu Damao can't have a son. He can only have daughters in this life!"
"Qin Huairu, stop crying. If it weren't for you, would I be laughed at by the people in the courtyard?"
“........”
Qin Huairu no longer had the pitiful look she had just had when she was wiping her tears. She looked at Jia Dongxu, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but finally swallowed her words back.
In her opinion, Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi were almost of the same character, and there was no point in saying anything.
Fortunately, the thing he stole this time was Yan Bugui’s bacon and salted fish. If he had stolen from someone else’s house, he would definitely have to pay compensation again.
The family only has a dozen dollars in savings now, which is not enough to afford the hardship.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu realized a problem, that is, the Jia family should not be short of money. Whether it is the compensation for Jia Dongxu's disability or the compensation for Jia Dongxu being beaten, the Jia family also has savings of several hundred yuan.
But this money is always spent on various things.
Could it be that the Jia family was not born to be rich?
If I marry into the Jia family, wouldn’t that be like jumping into a fire pit?!
......
On the other side, Chen Jun stayed until around three o'clock in the afternoon and then got up to say goodbye.
Chen's mother picked out a lot of things at home and stuffed them on Chen Jun's bicycle.
Chen Jun took a quick look and exclaimed, wow, these things were even more than what he brought, and they were stacked up in several layers.
I originally wanted to take some of the things off, but I couldn't persuade my future mother-in-law, so I had to find a rope to secure the things to the back seat of the bicycle.
Chen Xueru walked Chen Jun all the way to the intersection: "You drank quite a bit at noon, so drive slowly."
"Well...I really like the braised meat and bacon you brought. I'll send some to the store in a few days."
Um?
Chen Jun understood the meaning of the words as soon as he heard them. He reached out and pinched Chen Xueru's pretty face: "Okay, then I'll go to your store on the fourth day of the New Year."
After saying that, Chen Jun got on his bike and prepared to go home.
But suddenly he thought of something and turned to Chen Xueru and said, "That ginseng is quite potent. If you want to make soup with it, just pluck out the roots and throw them in."
Although eating too much of this top-quality wild ginseng won't cause bleeding or anything, Chen Jun wasn't sure if it would have any other effects, so he mentioned it.
Ginseng?
Chen Xueru frowned and thought about it. She had no impression of ginseng. Her attention at that time was all on bacon and braised meat.
"Okay, I'll tell my mom."
"Well, bye!"
Chen Jun waved his hand nonchalantly and rode away on his bike.
Chen Xueru stood at the door and watched Chen Jun go away until his figure disappeared at the intersection, then she reluctantly went home.
Chen's mother was cleaning the house at the time. When she saw Chen Xueru rummaging through things, she asked curiously.
Chen Xueru talked about the ginseng, which aroused the curiosity of Chen's mother.
"Xiaojun is such a generous kid. He even spent money to buy ginseng."
The two of them rummaged around and took out the wooden box.
When she opened it, Chen's mother couldn't help but shrink her pupils.
Although she didn't know what medicinal herbs were, she still had some eyesight. Such a big ginseng must be quite old. No wonder Chen Jun had to remind her specifically.
"Mom, can we make some soup tonight?" Chen Xueru didn't see anything special about ginseng, so she reached out and wanted to pinch off a ginseng beard.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was slapped by Chen's mother.
"Don't move. This ginseng is in such good condition. Why are you pulling its whiskers?"
Chen Xueru rubbed the back of her hand in grievance: "Stew soup, Chen Jun said that ginseng can be used to make soup. He even used ginseng to make medicinal food before, and it can cure diseases!"
"You can't move it. Wait until your father wakes up and let him take a look at the ginseng. If it's too expensive, you can return it to Xiaojun!" Mother Chen carefully closed the box and told Chen Xueru not to touch it.
After saying that, he felt uneasy again, so he simply put the box of ginseng into the bedroom.
