Chapter 598 Jia Zhangshi instigated Banggeng to go to Wang Feng's house to eat and take things.



Chapter 598 Jia Zhangshi instigated Banggeng to go to Wang Feng's house to eat and take things.

Qin's parents were stuffed after lunch; Jingru's cooking was just too delicious.

Wang Feng and Qin's father drank a bottle of Fenjiu liquor together. Wang Feng wanted to open another bottle, but Qin's father stopped him.

During the meal, Qin Jingru kept bragging to her parents, saying that she only needed to cook one or two meals a month and still received the same salary, and that she had a lot of influence in the three canteens of the steel rolling mill.

Qin's parents were both proud of Qin Jingru, but also quite shocked. Throughout the meal, they were frequently startled.

Qin Jingru was delighted to see her parents' surprised expressions; she loved seeing people's astonished reactions to her.

However, she didn't tell her parents that she had essentially resigned and was only earning half her previous salary, otherwise she would definitely have been scolded by them.

After all, her mother gave birth to her in the afternoon when she was pregnant, and was still working in the fields in the morning.

Qin Jingru tidied up the dishes and then brewed a pot of tea. The four of them sat in the room, drinking tea and chatting.

After drinking two pots of tea, Wang Feng, seeing that the family wasn't saying much while sitting in the house, suggested to Qin's father:

"Dad, do you know how to play chess? How about we play a couple of games?"

"Sure, I haven't played chess in ages," Qin's father said with a smile.

Wang Feng chuckled, moved the small table outside, went inside, and took out a chess set from his spatial storage.

This chess set was something he had collected in his spatial storage when he ransacked the home of Duan Zhengde, the vice minister of the Ministry of Metallurgy.

Previously, he had collected supplies from 50,000 households in his small living space. Now, his space warehouse is overflowing with items, ranging from various daily necessities to furniture and appliances, as well as entertainment products.

Wang Feng played chess with Qin's father, while Qin Jingru and Qin's mother sat on the side watching, occasionally pouring them a cup of tea. The scene looked very warm and cozy.

However, neither Qin Jingru nor her mother knew how to play chess. Qin Jingru, on the other hand, was quite interested in chess. After all, she was quick to learn anything these days, and she wanted to learn more so that she could play chess with Wang Feng in her spare time and enrich her life.

When Wang Feng saw that Qin Jingru was interested in chess, he patiently explained the rules to her and then shared some tips on how to play.

Qin's father was not very good at chess, so Wang Feng deliberately revealed many flaws to make it seem like they were evenly matched.

After playing two games of chess, Qin Jingru also learned how to play. She would occasionally point out to Wang Feng that he had made a mistake and that he should have played it this way. This made Wang Feng roll his eyes. Didn't he see that she was deliberately letting her father win?

When the elderly folks in the courtyard saw Wang Feng and his father-in-law playing chess at the door, they all came over to greet them, and Qin's parents responded with smiles.

Jia Zhangshi sat at the door sewing shoe soles. Her eyes were full of resentment as she looked at Wang Feng's house. However, she didn't dare to go over and provoke Wang Feng. That little beast Wang Feng was really ruthless when he beat people, and he didn't hold back when he beat the elderly. She was most afraid of Wang Feng in the yard.

Last year, she was beaten by Wang Feng several times, and three of her teeth were knocked out. After that, Wang Feng made her squat in the fence for several months and also made her pay 1,000 yuan of her retirement money. She wished she could devour Wang Feng alive, but she didn't dare to provoke him and could only stare helplessly.

In one afternoon, Wang Feng played nine games with Qin's father. Wang Feng won five games and Qin's father won four, which made Qin Jingru extremely happy.

It was 4:30 in the afternoon when Qin Jingru went back to her room to cook. Since there were still quite a few leftovers from lunch, she only needed to add one more dish for dinner, so she didn't ask her mother for help.

Wang Feng had just put away the chess set and moved the small table home when Jia Zhangshi went to Hongxing Elementary School to pick up Geng after school.

The two arrived at Wang Feng's house. Banggeng asked, "Grandma, didn't you say my third maternal grandfather and grandmother were here? Weren't they playing chess? Where are they? Oh, what's meat? It smells so good, Grandma, I want meat! I want meat!"

As he spoke, Banggeng ran towards Wang Feng's house, but he was stopped by Jia Zhangshi after only a few steps.

"Bang Geng, the meat isn't ready yet. Wait until your mom comes back, then have her take you and Xiao Dang there. When you get to Wang Feng's house, remember to be polite and call them Third Master and Third Grandmother, okay? Also, remember to bring back some extra meat for Grandma after you've eaten."

"Oh, let's go home quickly then. My mom will be off work soon, and I'm going to eat lots and lots of meat later," Banggeng said happily.

"Hehe, good boy, when you go to that little bastard Wang Feng's house later, eat as much as you want, and bring the rest back to Grandma, understand?" Jia Zhangshi laughed.

"Okay, Grandma."

Jia Zhangshi brought Banggeng back to the house, but the rich aroma of meat lingered, making Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi keep swallowing their saliva.

5:15 PM.

Qin Huairu had just returned to the courtyard when she heard that Jingru's parents had come, which made her very flustered.

She really didn't want her family to see her in such a sorry state. Jingru's parents were her third uncle and aunt. If they told her parents what they had seen and heard here, or if they told Qin Family Village about her situation, how could she face her family again?

Thinking of this, she returned to the house with a worried look on her face, but before she could even put down her bag, Banggeng rushed over and said:

"Mom, Third Uncle and Third Grandmother are here. They're at Uncle's house. Let's go eat at Uncle's house. They made a lot of meat today, it smells so good."

Just as Qin Huairu was about to say she wouldn't go, Jia Zhangshi walked over from the kitchen, carrying the largest bowl in their house.

"Qin Huairu, you take Banggeng and Xiaodang to Wang Feng's house for dinner now, and bring back the rest of the meat and vegetables for me later."

Without saying a word, Jia Zhangshi stuffed the large bowl into Qin Huairu's hands.

Looking at the huge bowl in her hand, which was even bigger than a washbasin, Qin Huairu sighed and said:

"Mom, I don't want to go. I don't want my family to see me like this. Otherwise, how will I dare to go back to my parents' home in the future?"

Upon hearing that Qin Huairu was unwilling to go, Jia Zhangshi immediately flew into a rage.

"Qin Huairu, how dare you not go? What are you pretending for in front of me? You used to take all the peanuts that Sha Zhu had and fed them to Bang Geng. Now what are you pretending to be so noble for?"

"Let me tell you, you have to go whether you like it or not. Qin Jingru's parents are your own uncles. Only when they come will that little bastard Wang Feng give our family meat. Such a good opportunity, and you're saying you won't go?"

"Mom, I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat! I haven't eaten meat in so long!" Bang Geng shouted.

After being kidnapped by the flower girl, Bang Geng is much smarter than before. As soon as he heard that his mother didn't want to go to Wang Feng's house for dinner, he started crying and making a fuss.

Xiao Dang smelled the aroma of meat, swallowed hard, and said pitifully to Qin Huairu, "Mom, I want to eat meat too."
