"Everyone, please help me get it back to Sister-in-law Jia."
Yi Zhonghai looked helplessly at the pile of sweet potatoes on the ground in the central courtyard and said to everyone.
"Thank you, thank you everyone."
Qin Huairu didn't expect things to end like this, but she couldn't show that she was unhappy, so she could only continue to pretend to be very moved and thank everyone repeatedly.
"I'll help you. I'll get it for you."
Needless to say, Shazhu took out a bag from home and picked sweet potatoes into the bag.
Qin Huairu also wanted to squat down to help, but after all, she was already in her late period and it was a bit difficult to squat down. In the end, it was Jia Zhang who squatted down first with a dark face.
In the end, everyone helped to deliver the huge pile of sweet potatoes weighing several hundred kilograms back to the Jia family.
"I... Damn it, what kind of people are these? Do I need this stuff to eat?" Jia Zhang picked up a sweet potato in the house and threw it on the ground, cursing. Looking at these sweet potatoes, her stomach began to reflux.
"Mom, everyone outside hasn't left yet, please keep your voice down." Qin Huairu was so scared that she hurried forward to dissuade Jia Zhang. If people heard this, who would donate grain to them? They would be scolded to death by the people in the courtyard.
"Tell me, what can Yi Zhonghai do? He can't even figure out such a small thing. Why is it so difficult for him to help get some food?"
Jia Zhang was holding Yi Zhonghai's rice bowl while cursing. In fact, it was not a small amount. Yi Zhonghai gave the Jia family 10 kilograms, Sha Zhu gave the Jia family 10 kilograms, and Liu Haizhong also gave the Jia family 10, a total of 30 kilograms, which was enough food for an adult for one month.
"Oh!" Qin Huairu could only sigh helplessly. How could something like this turn out to be so good?
"By the way, where is the cornmeal they donated to us?" Jia Zhang suddenly looked around the house and didn't find any cornmeal. The whole room was filled with sweet potatoes.
Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang and said speechlessly, "He was busy getting sweet potatoes for us just now, and he hasn't brought them to us yet. It won't be too late."
"What can't be changed? Just because you say it can't be changed, then it can't be changed." Jia Zhang accused Qin Huairu harshly.
"Can we still ask for it?" Qin Huairu asked.
"Why can't I go and ask for it? What's there that I can't ask for?" After saying this, Jia Zhang waved her hands and went out.
Qin Huairu really had no way to deal with her shameless mother-in-law, but she couldn't stop her. She could only squat down and slowly clean up the sweet potatoes on the ground at home.
As soon as Jia Zhang went out, she went straight to Yi Zhonghai's house.
Yi Zhonghai was a little puzzled when he saw Jia Zhang suddenly coming over, and asked, "Sister-in-law Jia, why are you here?"
"Oh, um...didn't you say you would give me the cornmeal? I came over to get it." Jia Zhang said with some confidence.
Yi Zhonghai was sulking because things didn't go smoothly today.
As a result, Jia Zhang actually came to ask for it back. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. His face turned red and he took several deep breaths.
He suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth and said to Jia Zhang with a stern face, "Okay, I'll get it for you."
"Go, get me a bag." Yi Zhonghai couldn't get angry at Jia Zhang, so he could only yell at the aunt.
The first lady didn't say anything. She knew that Yi Zhonghai's anger was not directed at her. She looked at Jia Zhang with dissatisfaction, then got up and went to find a bag.
"Let's go, let's go." After getting 10 kilograms of corn flour, Jia Zhang happily left Yi Zhonghai's house.
"Old Yi, tell me, just like that, why are you helping her?" The aunt was almost confused by Jia Zhang. Who was she helping?
"Hey, what can we do if we don't help him? We..." Yi Zhonghai was also angry, but what could he do? If he didn't count on the Jia family, who else could he count on?
"Well... okay. By the way, I gave him the food at home. You can buy some more later." The aunt sighed and stopped talking.
"knew."
"Look, it's from Yi Zhonghai's family." Jia Zhang happily carried the bag of noodles given by Yi Zhonghai home and handed it to Qin Huairu.
"Send the bag back to Yi Zhonghai later." Jia Zhang gave an instruction and went out again.
"Old Liu, Old Liu." Jia Zhang ran to Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard again.
"Ah..." Liu Haizhong was staring at the jar in his own home in a daze. There were only about ten pounds of cornmeal left in the house, and it had just been taken away by Yan Fugui.
Liu Haizhong was startled when he suddenly heard Jia Zhang's voice calling him. He turned around and saw that Jia Zhang had come in.
"What's wrong?" Liu Haizhong frowned and looked at Jia Zhang with great annoyance.
"Old Liu, um, didn't you just promise to bring 10 kilograms of cornmeal to my house? I'm here to get it." Jia Zhang said as a matter of course.
"ha?"
Liu Haizhong had just lost 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes and more than ten kilograms of cornmeal, and had completely forgotten about this matter. He did not expect that Jia Zhang would come to his door.
"You promised to give our family ten kilograms of cornmeal." Jia Zhang thought that Liu Haizhong didn't hear clearly, so she repeated it loudly.
"What 10 kilograms of cornmeal? Who do you want 10 kilograms of cornmeal from?" Liu Haizhong scolded unhappily.
"The 10 kilograms of cornmeal you promised in the yard just now!" said Jia Zhang.
"Go away, go away. My family doesn't have the 10 kilograms of cornmeal for you. Get out, get out. I have brought 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes to your family, enough for your family to eat for several months. What else do you want from cornmeal?" Liu Haizhong said as he pushed Jia Zhang out of the house like chasing away a fly.
“Bang!”
Liu Haizhong closed the door angrily.
"Hey, hey, hey, Liu Haizhong, you can't go back on your promise, right? Besides, it wasn't you who donated those 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes to our family."
How could Jia Zhang watch 10 kilograms of cornmeal slip away from her mouth? She banged on Liu Haizhong's door and shouted.
“Crunch.”
“Wow!”
This time it was the second aunt who opened the door, and she directly poured a basin of water on Jia Zhang's face. She was already angry enough because she was tricked by Lin Tian today, and now Jia Zhang came to make trouble again.
"...Ah..." Jia Zhang was stunned by the basin of water.
"Liu Haizhong, come out, what do you mean?" Jia Zhang didn't want to talk to the second aunt, but continued to look for Liu Haizhong while shouting.
"Get out of here now, don't stay here at my house. My family doesn't owe you anything." The second aunt pointed at Jia Zhang's nose and cursed.
"Hey, hey, don't your family want to admit your mistake?" Jia Zhang didn't care at all about whether the water was poured or not. The main thing was that she had to get back the food that was promised to her.
“Bang!”
The second aunt closed the door directly.
Jia Zhang called out in front of the door for a long time, but no one from the Liu family came out to pay attention to her. In the end, she could only go home all wet and disappointed.
