Chapter 72: Your Pockets Are Cleaner Than Your Face
Jia Yuhe also felt that it was time for her to go back to work, as her daughter only listened to her and did whatever she told her to do.
She is used to enjoying a good life at her parents' home, and is very lazy. It is impossible for her to go to work.
Thinking about this, Jia Zhenzhen had no choice but to go to work and earn money to support her and her daughter.
"Zhenzhen, I need to think this over carefully. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Jia Yuhe's mind was racing. She patted Jia Zhenzhen's hand and leaned on the edge of the bed, waiting for Jia Zhenzhen to serve her a bowl of grits porridge.
"This porridge is too bland and tasteless."
Jia Zhenzhen picked up the bowl and gulped it down, smacking her lips as she finished.
"Mom will buy some pickled cabbage in the winter and serve it with some pickled vegetables."
"Mom, you've suffered so much. Life has been hard since you followed my dad."
Jia Zhenzhen wiped her mouth after finishing her meal. She always felt that her farmer father was not worthy of her mother who came from a wealthy family.
Her mother didn't hide it from her and had already told her how rich her maternal family used to be.
Her mother, Jia Yuhe, was the youngest and the most favored, and she usually didn't have to do housework at home.
It’s all because of the world, otherwise Jia Zhenzhen wouldn’t have to live on grits porridge.
"Zhenzhen, don't spread these things outside. If I follow your father, our family will be poor peasants."
Jia Yuhe also missed her previous life as a girl. Her father and brother were labeled as rich peasants and were sent to a farm for reform a few years ago.
Seeing that life was hopeless, her mother and sister-in-law left home or remarried, and the once happy family was broken up.
Jia Yuhe also understood the importance of having a clean background, so she turned around and married Jia Zhenzhen's father, whose ancestors were poor farmers for eighteen generations, and she also severed ties with her family.
However, her husband was a short-lived man. After his death, her evil mother-in-law asked Zhenzhen to change her surname and kicked her and her daughter out of the house.
"Mom, I know, I won't tell anyone outside. By the way, when will Uncle Wen come?"
Seeing that Jia Yuhe had also finished eating, Jia Zhenzhen took the bowl and chopsticks over with an anxious tone.
"Don't worry, I have my own way. Zhenzhen, I feel a little dizzy. I need to rest for a while."
Jia Yuhe looked very sick and kept sliding onto the bed.
"Mom, take a rest. I'll sort out the things. I'll call you for dinner tonight."
Jia Zhenzhen quickly took out the bedding to cover Jia Yuhe, closed the door, and went out to do something.
Seeing that everyone had left, Jia Yuhe changed her position and fell asleep comfortably.
…
In the backyard, every household was having lunch and discussing the new mother and daughter from the Jia family.
"Mom, are the newcomers a mother and daughter?"
"I guess so. There were no men when they came this morning. They must be widows with children, just like Jin Qiaofeng."
Gao Xiulan took a sip of mushroom soup and continued speaking.
"She even borrowed a broom from me this morning, but I didn't expect Jin Qiaofeng to come back and start a quarrel."
"That Jia Yuhe looks gentle and good-tempered, but she's actually very complicated."
Gao Xiulan saw clearly today that Jia Yuhe was causing trouble but not taking responsibility, so she let Jia Zhenzhen rush forward.
"Old Xie, you should also be careful and not act like Wu Shengli."
Although Gao Xiulan knew that her husband, Mr. Xie, didn't have the courage to do it, she still had to say what she had to say.
"Xiu Lan, don't worry. The people I play chess with are all gentlemen. I will go home on time."
Xie Da Jiao quickly stated his position, he didn't dare to do that.
"And now that I'm in a wheelchair, she's definitely going to look down on me."
"What Dad said is really possible. I even saw Jia Yuhe glance at Wu Shengli."
Lin Xiaotong almost burst out laughing.
In the west, Diao Yulian and Wu Shengli were still fighting at home. Diao Yulian was so angry that she reached out and scratched Wu Shengli's face with her nails.
This face is not good-looking, why is it so attractive?
Diao Yulian scratched Wu Shengli's face until it was covered with nail marks, which was a horrible sight.
"Let me see if you dare to show off next time."
"It hurts, it hurts, I was wrong, my wife, Yulian, I was wrong, I won't watch it again next time."
Wu Shengli couldn't bear the pain from being caught. He screamed in pain and begged for mercy.
"It was that woman who seduced me. I won't dare to do it again next time."
The dirty water was poured onto Jia Yuhe.
"If you dare to do it again, I will take your son and remarry, and let your son call her dad!"
Diao Yulian was tired of scratching, so she took a break to catch her breath and said viciously.
Diao Yulian has a pretty face and a good figure. She is only in her early forties and has no problem finding a man!
"Yulian, I won't dare to do that again. Next time I run into Jia Yuhe, I'll take a detour."
Wu Shengli knew that Diao Yulian had threatened to take Jiabao away, and he knew that Diao Yulian was a woman who could really do it if she became ruthless.
He had worked hard over the years to give birth to a boy named Wu Jiabao, but he couldn't let his child call someone else his father.
No man can tolerate this kind of thing!
"Hurry up and go find Jiabao to go home for dinner. You've lost your pocket money this month."
Wu Shengli went out dejectedly to look for his son.
"I told you not to be nosy. That woman is really nosy. Why would she even look at me properly?"
Wu Shengli was so angry that he slapped himself in the mouth as he walked. He regretted it so much.
Diao Yulian collected Wu Shengli's salary and gave him one or two yuan in pocket money every month.
I used the money to buy cigarettes, alcohol, and toys for my son.
Now I don’t have a penny left.
"Dad, I'm out of White Rabbit candy. Can you buy me some?"
Wu Shengli came back to eat holding Wu Jiabao's hand. Wu Jiabao thought about the White Rabbit milk candy that Hu Tou had eaten this morning, so he immediately asked his father for some.
"Ask your mother to buy it. Your father and I don't have any money."
Wu Shengli shook his head decisively.
"You're lying! Tiger Head's milk candies were all bought with the money his dad sent back. I want some too!"
Hu Tou specifically told them today that he had told his grandmother that he wanted to use the money his father sent him to buy him some candy.
Grandma Zhang really bought the best White Rabbit milk candy for Hu Tou.
Hu Tou let him smell it. It smelled so good, it must be delicious. He wanted it too.
"Son, I'm really broke. Your dad's pockets are cleaner than your face."
Wu Shengli really wanted to say, "Don't count on me."
"You're lying, you must be rich, my face is so dirty."
Wu Jiabao raised his head and tilted his little face like a tabby cat, and he was even more unconvinced.
"I really didn't. If you don't believe me, go ask your mom."
The father and son quarreled all the way home.
…
In the front yard, Jia Yuhe woke up, but didn't get up. She lay on the bed thinking about her plan, with a faint smile on her face.
I looked up and saw the glaring sunlight outside the window, so I stood up and looked left and right in the small mirror on the bedside table.
To be honest, Jia Yuhe is not good-looking, with a pale complexion and dull facial features.
But there is a pair of eyes that are about to cry, the kind of delicate eyes of a dodder flower.
Many grown men fall for this trick. When they see Jia Yuhe's ambiguous look, they want to protect a weak woman like her.
It seems like helping her will make him look more capable.
Jia Yuhe’s first love, Wen Ge, is such a person. Jia Yuhe has been very good at coaxing such men since she was a child.
She has seen a lot and been deceived a lot, so her methods have naturally become more sophisticated.
…
"Brother Wen, it's me, Yuhe. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble regarding the house."
