Chapter 549 I Know Qin Huairu Is Here With You
Under the dim light, Jia Zhang was sneakily holding her grandson Banggeng's hand, hiding in a corner and whispering, "My dear grandson, grandma has something to tell you. Go to that idiot Zhu's room quietly to see if there is anything valuable, especially money. If there is, take it back secretly, okay?"
The doors of this courtyard were always left unlocked at night, and everyone got along well with each other on weekdays. Who would have thought that Jia Zhang would have such a crooked idea? This undoubtedly gave the young and ignorant Bang Geng an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Banggeng blinked his big eyes and nodded, not quite understanding. He carefully looked around, and when he saw that no one noticed what was happening here, he slid into Shazhu's room like a nimble little monkey.
After Banggeng entered the house, he looked around in the dim moonlight. He saw a shabby box on the table and wondered if the money was inside. So he tiptoed over to open the box, but only found a few old food coupons. Just when he was disappointed, he heard a noise outside and was frightened. It turned out to be the sound of the cat running by in the yard. He calmed down and began to search the closet again, but he didn't get anything except a few old clothes. At this time, Shazhu came home humming a little tune. Banggeng was very scared. He knew that if he was caught by Shazhu, he would be in trouble. Suddenly, he saw a gap under the bed where he could hide, and hurried in. After Shazhu entered the house, he always felt that something was wrong in the house, as if someone had been there. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he heard Jia Zhang next door deliberately calling Banggeng's name loudly. Shazhu shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking. After Shazhu lay down and fell asleep, Banggeng quietly crawled out from under the bed and ran out of the house in shame. After returning home, Banggeng told Jia Zhang what happened, and Jia Zhang had no choice but to give up.
Then Jia Zhang said to Qin Huairu.
"We have no money to eat, you have to think of a way!"
Qin Huairu was filled with bitterness and helplessness. She was the only one who supported her family. All the mouths in the family depended on her meager salary to feed them. However, this little income was far from enough to support her family.
As a widow, Qin Huairu had no other options. In order to keep her family from starving, she had to put aside her dignity and endure those people with ill intentions to take advantage of her in exchange for some insignificant benefits.
Among all the people who were trying to take advantage of him, Sha Zhu was the easiest to deal with. Usually, as long as Qin Huairu said a few sweet words to him and shed a few tears, Sha Zhu's kind heart would be moved. So, he would always willingly give the money or precious food he had saved to Qin Huairu.
Not only that, the lunch box that Sha Zhu brought to work on weekdays became an important source of food for Qin Huairu's family. The lunch box was filled with carefully prepared delicious dishes, and Sha Zhu would give it to Qin Huairu without hesitation at the first time. If it weren't for the food that Sha Zhu sent from time to time, how could the Jia family raise people like Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng who were so fat and greasy in those difficult years when supplies were extremely scarce and everyone could hardly fill their stomachs?
Late at night, everything was silent, and the entire courtyard was immersed in silence. However, at this quiet moment, a light figure quietly crossed the courtyard and walked towards the room where Sha Zhu lived. This person was Qin Huairu.
Sha Zhu was lying in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, when he suddenly heard a slight knock on the door. He was startled, and immediately got up and opened the door. When he saw that the person standing outside the door was Qin Huairu, an ecstatic smile instantly bloomed on his face.
Qin Huairu was only seen wearing a thin dress, her plump and charming figure was faintly visible in the moonlight, as if she exuded an alluring charm, which made Sha Zhu stare at her with his eyes wide open.
"Sister Qin!" Sha Zhu shouted excitedly in a low voice, afraid that his voice would break the silence of the night.
Qin Huairu quickly made a gesture to keep quiet and said angrily, "Keep your voice down. What if someone hears you?"
Sha Zhu smiled and scratched his head and said, "I'm so happy. Sister Qin, why are you here so late?"
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and said in pretended anger: "What? Don't you want me to come? In that case, I'd better go back." After saying that, she pretended to turn around and leave.
Sha Zhu hurriedly reached out and grabbed Qin Huairu, pulling her into the house, and whispered, "Sister Qin, of course I missed you." After Qin Huairu walked into the house, she looked around and asked casually, "Zhu Zi, there is no food left in the factory today, right?" Sha Zhu understood immediately, but still smiled and said, "Sister Qin, no matter how much is left, your Jia family will definitely have a share."
Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with guilt, and then she approached Sha Zhu and said softly, "Zhu Zi, why are you so kind to our family?" Sha Zhu smiled naively and said, "Sister Qin, I just feel sorry for you, an orphan and a widow, because it's not easy."
At this time, there was a little noise outside, like the sound of someone walking. The two of them suddenly became nervous, and Qin Huairu hid in the shadow behind the door. Sha Zhu pretended to be calm and walked to the door to check, and found that it was just a cat running by. Sha Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu patted her chest and whispered, "You scared me. Zhuzi, we have to be more careful in the future." Sha Zhu nodded, and at this time Qin Huairu's mind had turned to the food at home tomorrow.
Seeing Qin Huairu's look, Sha Zhu sighed secretly in his heart, but still had a smile on his face: "Sister Qin, don't worry, I will bring you some delicious food tomorrow." Qin Huairu's eyes lit up and she said gratefully: "Zhu Zi, you are really a great benefactor to our family." Sha Zhu was about to say something, but suddenly thought of something and took out a small package from the cabinet and handed it to Qin Huairu. "Sister Qin, this is some dried meat I specially saved today, you can take it back to satisfy the children's cravings." Qin Huairu took the dried meat, her eyes were a little wet: "Zhu Zi, you always think about us, how can I repay you." Sha Zhu waved his hand: "Sister Qin, what's the point of repaying? As long as you live well, it's fine."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and both of them were startled. Sha Zhu calmed himself down and asked, "Who is it?"
Yi Zhonghai's voice came from outside the door: "Shazhu, open the door, I know Qin Huairu is here with you." Shazhu glanced at Qin Huairu and saw that her face was full of panic.
Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and shouted to the outside of the door: "Uncle, it's so late, what do you want?" Yi Zhonghai snorted: "Don't waste time, open the door first." Sha Zhu had no choice but to slowly open the door and prepare to deal with the upcoming situation.
