Chapter 105: The Heart of Being a Grandma
Qin Huairu stood in front of the window and looked at He Yuzhu's high-spirited appearance, feeling uncontrollably sad.
He Yuzhu was so kind to her and Banggeng before, but now he seems to be a different person. At most, he only said hello when he met.
The heart-to-heart conversations between the two of them in the past have become increasingly rare.
In the past, when she entered He Yuzhu's house, she could just open the door and go in. Now, nine out of ten times when she entered his house, someone would find a reason and kick her out.
Yesterday, she finally found an opportunity and stepped forward to ask He Yuzhu why he deliberately led everyone to seek compensation from her at the hospital meeting. She wanted to pretend to be pitiful and get closer to each other.
In the end, He Yuzhu just said, "Don't you call me Silly Zhu? I'm just a fool" and dismissed her, which really made her feel uneasy.
Jia Zhang on the side saw Qin Huairu's dejected look and knew that she was peeking at He Yuzhu at the window again. She had been watching him for several days.
She couldn't help but feel angry again, but now her family status was not as good as before.
Therefore, she did not dare to fight Qin Huairu head-on, but after all, she was her daughter-in-law, so she had to ask, otherwise she would really feel uneasy.
Although Qin Huairu is pregnant now, she is still young after all, so there is no visible change in her figure, and her face looks even more attractive than when she was not pregnant.
Mrs. Jia Zhang herself has been a widow for many years. She knows the psychology of widows very well, and there are no cats in the world who don't steal fish, so she really has to guard against them.
After thinking again and again, Jia Zhang said carefully:
"Huai Ru, let's have breakfast first, don't wait until it's too late..."
Qin Huairu came back to her senses after hearing what Jia Zhang said. She sighed, no matter what, she had to live her life.
She could only temporarily suppress her uneasiness, turned around and walked over to sit at the table. When she saw that there was only stick noodle porridge on the table, she couldn't help but frown.
This Jia Zhang family is really too much. Ever since the two of them started to divide the responsibilities at home, this Jia Zhang family can't wait to make stick noodle porridge all the time. She doesn't even have a steamed bun in the morning.
How could she be full? Not to mention that she was still pregnant. She felt as if she hadn't eaten even if the bowl was watery.
She also mentioned asking Jia Zhang to do a little more, but she promised well in words, but didn't do it in action.
She spoke in a hurry, and Mrs. Jia Zhang said that her salary had not been paid yet, and there was no food left at home, so she couldn't say anything else.
Even if she doesn't have enough to eat, it's better than not eating at all. After all, she still has to go to work.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu had no choice but to pick up the bowl and start drinking porridge. However, as soon as she took a sip, she saw Bangge finish his share of the two bowls in one go.
Then he held his stomach and said coquettishly to Jia Zhang:
"Grandma, I'm not full yet, give me another bowl..."
Qin Huairu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said cautiously to Banggeng:
"Banggan, you've already drank two bowls, and my sister hasn't finished half of the bowl yet..."
It's not that she, Qin Huairu, is stingy, it's just that Jia Zhang made it based entirely on the share. As a male, Bangge only has a share of two bowls.
Both she and Jia Zhang had a share of one bowl, and Xiao Dang was even more pitiful, with only half a bowl.
Even so, after listening to Qin Huairu's words, Banggeng had a look of disdain on his face. He glanced at Qin Huairu coldly and said:
"I just didn't eat enough. I drank so much that I didn't say anything."
Qin Huairu felt even more sad when she saw Bangge like this. Ever since she slapped him, it seemed like there was a grudge between mother and son.
This little person has a very bad temper. He has no respect for her mother at all and is very aggressive in everything he says and does.
"Huai Ru, I remember you said before... if you introduce your wife to Sha Zhu, he will leave a lunch box for you, right?
You guys go to work today, talk to him after you go, and try to get us to eat from his lunch box tonight."
Qin Huairu was just thinking about something on her mind. When she heard what Jia Zhang said suddenly, she was momentarily absent-minded, and then she smiled bitterly in her heart.
Now that the relationship between the two of them is as cold as winter, how can she ask for a lunch box?
"Come on, Bangge, grandma can't drink from this bowl, so I'll give it to you..."
After Jia Zhang took a peek at Qin Huairu, she poured half of the bowl of stick noodle porridge into the stick bowl with a loving look on her face.
Banggeng, on the other hand, was afraid of being asked to go back, so he didn't even have time to say thank you. He picked up the bowl and drank it all, and then started to lick the remaining gruel in the bowl.
When Qin Huairu saw this, her brows turned into the word "Chuan" in worry. It was the time when the body was growing, so what should I do if I couldn't eat enough?
Then she turned to look at Xiaodang and found that she was also licking the bowl. The bowl almost hit her face, so Qin Huairu quickly cleaned it up for her.
At this moment, Jia Zhang's voice came to her ears again.
"Bangge, you can't eat your mother. She goes to work today, so she has to be fed first, otherwise she won't have the strength to work and make money..."
Looking back, Banggeng was looking longingly at her bowl of gruel. As soon as Jia Zhang said these words, Banggeng snorted coldly:
"Don't you think mom is the only one in the world? I think grandma is the best. Grandma feels sorry for me because I don't have enough to eat. Mom doesn't feel bad..."
Having said this, Qin Huairu quickly pushed the bowl of porridge he had just taken a sip over and said to please:
"Mom feels most sorry for Bangge. Mom won't eat it, so let Banggeng eat it..."
Even though Qin Huairu felt so sorry for Banggeng and gave up her rations despite being pregnant and having to go to work, Baiyan Langbanggeng didn't appreciate it.
He snorted coldly, without even a smile on his face. He just picked up the bowl and started drinking the gruel.
Jia Zhang was on the side with a smile on her face, stroking Banggian’s head and praising:
"BangGeng is so good, I know grandma is well. Even if grandma doesn't eat from now on, grandma will let us BangGeng eat enough first..."
Bangge also echoed vaguely:
"Grandma is the best, I love grandma the most..."
Qin Huairu looked at the happy scene of the two of them, and felt even more angry and panicked.
If she really wanted to be a grandma, instead of letting go of bowls of porridge like this, she might as well cook more.
Jia Dongxu's pension obviously still has so much money, but this old godly woman has never been willing to even out some of it so that the whole family can have a full meal.
Mrs. Jia Zhang was very generous at the dinner table and spoke beautifully, which made her seem like a villain in vain.
There was another hungry bowel sound in her stomach, and Qin Huairu drank several bowls of cold water before she was full.
When she got up and put on her scarf to go out, Jia Zhang said again:
"Huairu, what mom just told you is about Silly Zhu's lunch box...you have to take it to heart, your payment will be at the beginning of next month..."
After she finished speaking, she saw Qin Huairu's face looking embarrassed, and she didn't speak for a long time.
When she was about to say more, seeing Qin Huairu finally nodded, Jia Zhang couldn't help feeling secretly proud:
"It doesn't matter whether you are tired or not, hungry or not, as long as Banggeng and I are full, as long as you are hungry, this is your fate.
Humph, you want to fight with me, but you are still a little green. I have figured it out, so I will treat you like a donkey and a mule.
