Qin Huairu was secretly delighted when she saw what Sha Zhu was holding, but she put on a sad face and said, "What are you doing? I don't want it."
"What's wrong, Sister Qin? Are you saying my money isn't clean? Why don't you want it?" Sha Zhu was completely bewildered. Why didn't Sister Qin want his money?
"I don't want it, Zhu Zi, you've changed. Do you look down on me? Do you think I, Qin Huairu, am just a money-grubber? I'm not, I waaaaah!" Qin Huairu finished speaking and immediately burst into tears. Of course she wanted it, but she wanted the money, and she wanted silly Zhu Zi to give her money again next time.
"Sister Qin, what are you saying? We're like family. Why are you arguing about this? Besides, it's not for you, it's for our children. Banggeng and the others are so small, it wouldn't be good if they got cold. Sister Qin, listen to me," Shazhu hurriedly explained.
When Qin Huairu saw what Sha Zhu said, she originally planned to try to persuade him further, but Sha Zhu couldn't resist and stuffed the money directly into Qin Huairu's hand.
"Sister Qin, just listen to me, we're like family," Sha Zhu said, watching Qin Huairu's departing figure, his mind still filled with the image of Qin Huairu's soft little hand.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. After washing up and locking the door, Ma Hua rode his bicycle to work. As he was leaving the alley, he noticed Jia Zhangshi walking shakily into the alley in the distance. Ma Hua chuckled twice, ignored her, and with a burst of speed, his bicycle sped past Jia Zhangshi.
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi was nothing like her previous refined and wealthy appearance. Not only was her hair disheveled, but there were also a few weeds stuck to her clothes. Ma Hua had no idea that Jia Zhangshi had suffered a great deal the day before.
The detention cell was not only cold and unwelcoming, but it also lacked bedding, with only a bare wooden bed covered in weeds.
Having always been pampered, Jia Zhangshi had never suffered like this before. After shouting and yelling and being warned, she could only lean against the wall and shiver for the rest of the night.
Jia Zhangshi was shivering from the gust of wind that came with Ma Hua riding his bicycle. When she saw Ma Hua, she wanted to curse him, but Ma Hua had already ridden away. She could only glare angrily at Ma Hua's back before continuing to walk towards the courtyard.
The door was suddenly pushed open, startling Banggeng and Qin Huairu who were eating. Banggeng said somewhat displeasedly, "Grandma, what are you doing?"
When Qin Huairu saw Jia Zhangshi, she immediately put on a surprised and delighted look: "Mom, you're finally back. Let me pour you some hot water, wash your hands, and we'll get ready for dinner."
Ignoring Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi plopped down in a chair, picked up the bowl, and drank the porridge in one gulp. The hot porridge made Jia Zhangshi feel a little better.
He glared fiercely at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, why didn't you bring me bedding yesterday? Did you want me to freeze to death?"
Qin Huairu felt extremely wronged. She hadn't been inside before and didn't know anything about it; why should she bring her own bedding? She immediately put on a very aggrieved expression and said, "Mom, you've really misunderstood me."
I really didn't know! If I had known, I definitely would have delivered it to you. You have to believe me!
"Pah, Qin Huairu, don't try to play the victim with me. I'm not buying it. Remember this: you were born a member of the Jia family, and you'll die a member of the Jia family. It's your duty to serve me, you hear me?"
This time, Jia Zhangshi truly wronged Qin Huairu. She didn't even consider how arrogant she was in front of the police yesterday. The police hate shrewish women like her the most—unreasonable and domineering. What did Jia Zhangshi have to be so arrogant about in front of the police?
When they took Jia Zhangshi away, they didn't even bother to tell her to bring her own bedding. So, Jia Zhangshi spent a freezing night in the detention cell. Luckily, she was quite plump, otherwise she would have definitely caught a cold.
Seeing Qin Huairu still standing aside feigning grievance, Jia Zhangshi said impatiently, "Hurry up and go to work. If you're late and get your pay docked, I won't let you off the hook. Oh, and remember to bring me another bottle of medicine when you come back; I'm about to finish mine."
Seeing this, Qin Huairu could only curse inwardly, but outwardly she obediently agreed. This old woman, even when the family is broke, still wants to buy medicine!
