arrive home.
I saw the place where Lao Jia's portrait used to be.
My body started twitching involuntarily.
I recall the Black and White Impermanence of that night.
She nestled in Jia Dongxu's arms and began to sob, "Dongxu, do you think the Black and White Impermanence will really come to get me?"
"No, as long as you don't bother Dad anymore, they won't come."
"I won't dare to do it again. Please keep your father's portrait safe and don't let me see it."
That's when I realized something seemed off about the house.
Where did her sewing machine go?
Although the whole house was dilapidated, it was her only treasure.
It's usually placed in the most prominent spot in my room!
Did Qin Huairu move him to her own room?
He hurriedly went to Qin Huairu's room.
None here either.
"Dongxu, has a thief broken into our house?"
"No."
"Where did our sewing machine go?"
"I sold it."
When Jia Zhangshi heard him say that, she almost fainted.
That spendthrift son actually sold the sewing machine while she was away from home!
What is he doing outside?
Was it adultery or gambling?
Is it that if you owe someone money and don't pay it back, you use a sewing machine as collateral?
I saw Qin Huairu come in with a bag of sunflower seeds.
My son is so honest, he would never do such a thing.
She must have been the one giving instructions behind the scenes.
While she was away from home, the two of them secretly sold the sewing machine.
"Did you instigate my son to sell the sewing machine?"
Qin Huairu looked at her with disdain.
"Do I need to stir things up? This is all the valuable stuff in this house. If you don't sell the sewing machine, how will you get out of the hospital?"
So, you bought the sewing machine to pay for her medical expenses?
Jia Zhangshi burst into tears.
"Dongxu, how could you be so foolish? I'm not sick at all. They're obviously just trying to scam me. Why are you still paying for medical expenses?"
How could I possibly get out if I didn't pay the medical bills?
If we don't pay the medical bills, they don't know what they'll do to her inside.
She thought she wanted to sell herself.
This was not a last resort!
"Mom, stop talking. We've already sold it, why are you bringing up any future issues?"
"Where did the money from the sale go? Hand it over to me."
"Didn't we already pay your medical expenses?"
"I've only been in the hospital for half a month, and it costs so much? Did you spend all the remaining money on her?"
Qin Huairu realized that every word she said was directed at her.
“I’m part of this family too. This sewing machine is mine. We’ve spent money, we’ve eaten out, so what can you do about it?”
Even though her family had fallen so low that they had to sell things, she still went to restaurants.
suddenly!
Jia Zhangshi noticed the bracelet on her wrist.
Isn't this her most prized possession? Why is she carrying it?
Enraged, she went up to snatch it away.
"This is my bracelet, give it back to me!"
She was already mentally unstable and couldn't stand steadily.
He was no match for Qin Huairu.
"You came back and started yelling and screaming. I don't think you're cured at all. You should be locked up in a mental hospital for a few more days."
Jia Dongxu was pulling two people along.
"Please stop fighting. This family has finally had a few days of peace and quiet. Don't let others laugh at us again."
"The sewing machine has been sold, and the money has been spent. Since it's already spent, arguing won't bring the money back."
"I need to think about what to do with the family in the future. The food is almost gone again, and it's not payday yet. I need to figure out how to get through these next few days."
Jia Zhangshi held her head.
"How else can we let her get by? Let her go dig for wild vegetables."
"how about you?"
"Can't you see how dizzy I am? I just came from the hospital, of course I need to rest at home for a day."
Okay!
After being admitted to a mental hospital, they still have the nerve to talk back!
As soon as he got back, he started ordering her around.
But I want to rest.
It seems she won't know her place unless we teach her a lesson.
Qin Huairu pointed at her nose and said, "Now I'm giving you two choices: one is to go out and earn money to redeem the sewing machine, and the other is to transfer my household registration here."
"Whether it's the sewing machine or the city residency permit, it's all because of you!"
"If you can't do it, don't even bother coming back into this house!"
As he spoke, he pushed her out.
Madam Jia was astonished.
This is his home.
Why should we let her leave?
If someone has to leave this family, it should be Qin Huairu!
Why should I leave?
"Just because you not only made us lose our city residency, but you also took away our most valuable sewing machine."
"You can't blame everything on me."
"What do you mean by blaming it on you? It's all your fault!"
Look, Jia Dongxu is going to speak up for his mother.
Qin Huairu glared at her and said, "I haven't settled the score with you for my stomachache that night. Go and take care of it right now. If you can't, don't even bother coming home!"
"Jia Dongxu, you listen to me carefully. If you dare to say a word in her defense, you and she can both get out of here!"
"boom!"
He slammed the door shut.
The mother and son were left bewildered in the wind.
Jia Zhangshi wanted to cry again.
Annoyed by Jia Dongxu, he didn't even turn his head.
"I'm going to work now, and I can't take care of things at home anymore."
"Dongxu, you can't just stand by and watch Mom be locked out."
"Huai Ru is right. It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, the two of you would be eating rations. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have bought a sewing machine at all."
Even her son says that about her.
Jia Zhangshi cried loudly.
But no matter how much she cried, no one paid any attention to her.
Now how to do?
Being locked out all the time isn't a solution.
We had no choice but to do as Qin Huairu suggested: either transfer our household registration or redeem the sewing machine.
To get the sewing machine back, it would cost nearly 200 yuan.
Moreover, since Liu Haizhong's family has already bought it, they will never return it.
This is simply impossible!
The only hope now is to go to the neighborhood committee and beg Zhang Dajun to transfer my household registration here.
Even if we can't move in two people, we can at least move in one person's household registration.
I staggered to the neighborhood office.
But Zhang Dajun wasn't in the outhouse at all (transfer 371, said just 729 just went to 119).
In a hurry, Jia Zhangshi went to the public toilet outside.
He Hongyang happened to see it.
Did that woman come out?
Judging from her squinting eyes, she's probably looking for someone.
She also saw He Hongyang.
"Hongyang, have you seen Director Zhang?"
groove!
She still hasn't given up.
I also want to ask Zhang Dajun to transfer my household registration.
Now, even if Zhang Dajun were to process it for her, she still wouldn't be able to transfer her household registration.
While they were talking.
Liu Haizhong came over.
He also came to see Zhang Dajun.
I heard he went to the outhouse, so I came looking for him.
He approached Zhang Dajun because he wanted him to introduce a potential partner to his son.
Although there are many female workers in the steel rolling mill.
But Liu Haizhong didn't want to find his son an ordinary worker.
Working in a steel rolling mill is tiring and dirty.
His son works for the factory, so he should at least find someone who works for the government.
