If in the past, Mrs. Jia and Zhang would have relented if she heard that the third uncle wanted to hand her over to the comrades at the street office.
After all, the sub-district office has great power and might be able to drive her out of the courtyard. However, Jia Zhang did not obtain the Beijing household registration, and the household registration was still in her hometown in the countryside.
In this case, Jia and Zhang had no choice but to return to their hometown to farm.
Speaking of which, Jia Zhang was responsible for this matter.
When the capital was first liberated, the requirements for household registration were not high. As long as you registered voluntarily, you could get an urban household registration. Many family members of employees in the compound who came from rural areas obtained urban household registration at that time and received their grain books.
of.
It's just that Mrs. Jia Zhang was reluctant to hand over the few acres of land she left in her hometown. She rented out those acres of land and was able to earn a lot of money every year.
If Jia Zhang gave up her household registration in the village, the land would also have to be paid in. Jia Zhang was reluctant to pay so much rent every year, so she gave up her urban household registration.
But what she didn't expect was that in the following period, the countryside gradually became communes and a new system was implemented. All the land belonged to the communes, and only those who worked in the fields could receive labor remuneration.
As a result, not only did Jia and Zhang not get the rent, they didn't even get the grain book. In this case, she was stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
But Ms. Jia Zhang is no longer afraid of the street office.
The reason is simple. She had already figured it out in the detention center. She is so old now, even the comrades in the neighborhood office can't do anything to her.
Those people are good comrades who sincerely care about the residents. They will not watch Jia and Zhang be helpless, nor will they see Jia and Zhang desperate.
Mrs. Jia Zhang felt that she was able to control the officials of the street office, so naturally she would not be afraid of a mere third uncle.
Jia Zhang looked at the third uncle coldly and said: "Third uncle, what are you talking about? As the boss, you have no right to control me at all. Now you are gibbering in front of me. Do you really think I am?"
Don’t you dare to do something to you?”
As she spoke, Jia Zhang rolled up her sleeves.
Seeing this situation, the third uncle was so angry that the corners of his mouth trembled. He just wanted to warn Mrs. Jia Zhang, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Jia Zhang would not only refuse to accept it, but would actually attack him.
This is unacceptable to the third uncle. As the steward of the courtyard, if he cannot deal with the Jia Zhang family, what dignity will he have in the courtyard in the future?
Of course, the third uncle is a smart man and will not really fight with Jia Zhang. In that case, even if he wins, he will lose in the end.
When the third uncle saw the passing residents looking this way, he rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, the reason why I criticize you is for your own good and for the good of our compound. I hope you can grow old in the future."
Being honest can make our compound peaceful and quiet. Your attitude is enough to show that you are not aware of your mistake at all. If you continue like this, you will still cause trouble in the compound in the future."
Because Mrs. Jia Zhang especially likes to curse, the onlookers didn't plan to come over to join in the fun. After hearing what the third uncle said, they couldn't help it anymore.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, what's going on with you? The third uncle's advice to you is actually for your own good. How can you treat the third uncle like this?"
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Jia Zhang, you have made mistakes before and you should change your ways. You can't pretend that you have not made any mistakes."
"I see, Mrs. Jia Zhang is not aware of the mistake she has made at all. We should have less contact with her family in the future."
Jia Zhang didn't take it seriously in the face of these scoldings, but Qin Huairu couldn't ignore it.
Since Qin Huairu's salary was significantly cut recently, she has been able to survive by borrowing money from the residents in the compound.
Take Aunt Wang, who is pointing her finger at Jia Zhang, for example. She just lent her a dollar yesterday, and Uncle Liu, although he did not lend her money, he also lent her two kilograms of white flour.
If they lose the support of these residents, the Jia family will have a very difficult life in the courtyard in the future.
Thinking like this, Qin Huairu quickly stepped forward to stop Jia Zhang. She bowed to the residents and said, "Guys, I'm really sorry. My parents-in-law have suffered a lot in there recently. I'm sure I'm in a good mood."
It’s not good. You also know the situation there. It is simply no place for people to stay. Naturally, my parents-in-law are filled with anger. She couldn’t hold it back just now, and that’s why she got so angry.”
"Who is angry, Qin Huairu, what I just said was true!" Jia Zhang was not satisfied with Qin Huairu's statement and was about to step forward to stop Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu took her arm and lowered her voice and said, "Mom, you just came back and you don't understand many things. We can't offend these residents now."
Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Mrs. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said: "Qin Huairu, when I left the courtyard, you were the eldest son, and you were so powerful in the courtyard that no one dared to bully you. What's the matter, I just just
After living there for two months, your position as the first uncle has been lost, and now you are still being bullied by these people. You are really capable.
If you use the energy you used to deal with me to deal with them, how could you end up like this! I see, you are a woman who is just a bastard, and you usually only bully me."
Qin Huairu didn't have time to talk to Jia Zhang at this time. Of course, he also knew very well that it would not make sense for a paternalistic person like her to reason with her.
So Qin Huairu could only grit his teeth and said: "Ms. Jia Zhang, I'm warning you, if you fall out with the residents in the compound just after you come back, then I won't buy meat for you. And, I will also
I won’t make white flour steamed buns for you.”
Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhang was frightened. She had suffered so much in the detention center, and now she only wanted to eat meat when she came out.
Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly at the third uncle, spat, turned and left.
Looking at Mrs. Jia Zhang's back, the third uncle said angrily: "Look, is this ridiculous? Is this ridiculous? Mrs. Jia Zhang is a person who has made mistakes. She has been educated for such a long time, but she has not corrected it.
Qin Huairu, let me tell you, you are Jia Zhang’s parent. If you let Jia Zhang make trouble in the courtyard, I will never let you go. At that time, what Jia Zhang will do
You are responsible for everything."
Faced with the third uncle's accusation, Qin Huairu could only smile awkwardly and said: "Third uncle, don't worry, Mrs. Jia Zhang is just confused for a moment. When she gets back home, I will definitely persuade her and I will never let her go."
She's causing trouble.'
It has to be said that Qin Huairu is a smart person after all. When the Jia Zhang family had a conflict with the third uncle, she did not side with Jia Zhang family, but chose to compromise, thus calming everyone's anger towards the Jia family.
Of course, this also caused Jia Zhang's dissatisfaction.
In order to welcome Mrs. Jia Zhang back, Qin Huairu boiled water with mugwort leaves and asked Mrs. Jia Zhang to cleanse her body. According to folklore, this can get rid of bad luck.
But Mrs. Jia Zhang ignored Qin Huairu at all. She sat down on the bench and snorted coldly: "Qin Huairu, our Jia family's face has been completely lost by you. Have you ever thought about it? Our Jia family is in the courtyard."
I have never suffered a loss in all these years, but you want to show your kindness to those people today. If Jia Dongxu finds out about this, Jia Dongxu will definitely have to talk to you tonight."
Qin Huairu felt a little depressed when she heard Jia Zhang mentioned Jia Dongxu, and said quickly: "Mom, I'm going to buy meat for you now."
Sure enough, when she heard about selling meat, Jia Zhang became silent.
Qin Huairu took the basket out of the house and went to the vegetable market to buy two kilograms of meat. At this time, Jia Zhang had already rested and saw Qin Huairu coming back.
She frowned and said, "Qin Huairu, why didn't I notice Qin Jingru's salute? What's wrong? I've only been away from home for two months. Is this little girl already married?"
Qin Huairu said while cooking: "Mom, how can it be so fast? Now Qin Jingru is the leader of the workshop and a cadre. She doesn't look down on ordinary men at all. Just a while ago, I introduced her to
A man, that man is the director of the Publicity Department of our steel rolling mill. But Qin Jingru refused without even looking at it."
Now Qin Huairu's heart is also full of anger towards Qin Jingru.
Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru are cousins. Like all cousins, there are fights between them.
It's just that Qin Huairu's family conditions are better than Qin Jingru's, she's prettier than Qin Jingru, and she's particularly good at pleasing her elders. From childhood to adulthood, Qin Huairu has always had Qin Jingru's head above her.
When she was young, Qin Huairu looked down on Qin Jingru. When she grew up, Qin Huairu became the first girl in Qinjiagou to marry into the city, and she no longer had to work in the fields with her back to the sky.
Qin Huairu looked down upon Qin Jingru even more. In order to humiliate Qin Jingru, she once took her old clothes home to Qin Jingru.
Of course, Qin Huairu was reluctant to give the clothes to Qin Jingru. It was just to show off in front of Qin Jingru, saying that she would throw away the clothes soon, but Qin Jingru could not afford to wear them.
Later, Qin Huairu introduced Si Zhu, a man she disliked, to Qin Jingru, with the intention of humiliating Qin Jingru.
Even though Qin Huairu looked down on Silly Zhu, in the end, at the critical moment of their blind date, Qin Huairu still acted in the middle and ruined their blind date.
This seemingly contradictory approach is actually because Qin Huairu feels that Qin Jingru is not even worthy of Shazhu.
However, now Qin Jingru has become the leader and a famous person in the steel rolling mill. All the workers compliment Qin Jingru, which makes Qin Huairu very uncomfortable.
She couldn't accept that Qin Jingru was more powerful than herself, and she couldn't accept that Qin Jingru's status was higher than hers.
But she has no choice now, so she can only speak ill of Qin Jingru secretly.
After hearing this, Jia Zhang was very angry.
"Qin Jingru, a country bumpkin, can be so lucky. After fawning over Li Weidong, he suddenly skyrocketed. It's so annoying."
People like Jia Zhang are the kind of people who don't see others living well. If others live better than themselves, it would be even more uncomfortable than killing her.
Qin Huairu sighed and said, "What can we do? Now that Qin Jingru is the leader, she won't listen to us anymore. Even if you scold her, she won't hear it."
Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said, "Qin Huairu, are you stupid? Qin Jingru owes so much to our family, why don't you ask her for it?"
These words made Qin Huairu stunned. After she was stunned for a moment, she asked in surprise: "Mom, what are you talking about? Although Qin Jingru's damn girl is not a good person, she never lends money to me. She
You don’t owe me anything.”
"Money?" Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly, looked at Qin Huairu and asked: "Qin Huairu, let me ask you, did you bring Qin Jingru to the capital?"
Qin Huairu nodded and said, "At that time, I wanted Qin Jingru to go on a blind date with Shazhu, so I brought her here."
"What does it mean to go on a blind date with Silly Zhu? You obviously think she is your cousin and you don't want her to live a hard life in the countryside, so you brought her to the capital."
Jia Zhang said loudly: "It can be said that if you didn't bring her to the capital, Qin Jingru could only work in the countryside and marry a commune member. So Qin Jingru can live such a good life now because of everything.
Don’t you think Qin Jingru doesn’t owe you any credit for your contribution?”
Qin Huairu had never considered the problem from this perspective. Now that she heard Jia Zhang's words, she felt a little strange at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was really the case.
The dead girl Qin Jingru is able to overpower her now, all because of her kindness back then.
only....
Qin Huairu looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang and said: "Mom, what you just said is right. From this aspect, Qin Jingru does owe me, but now there is a problem. This kind of favor is different from borrowing money. There is no way to measure it. In the end, I
Ask Qin Jingru how much it would cost to consider it cost-effective."
Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said, "One year's salary."
Even if Qin Huairu had such wild thoughts, people couldn't help but take a breath when they heard this. You must know that Qin Jingru is now the leader of the workshop and earns more than 60 yuan per month for a year's work.
The salary is seven to eight hundred yuan.
"Mom, we asked Qin Jingru for seven to eight hundred yuan. Isn't it a bit too much? How could Qin Jingru give it to us?" Qin Huairu asked cautiously.
"Hahahahaha" Mrs. Jia Zhang laughed twice: "Qin Huairu, why are you so stupid? That damn girl Qin Jingru is a heartless girl. Do you think she will give it to you if you just ask her for a few dozen dollars?
We have to make Qin Jingru subdue through a fight, in this case, why not ask for more."
Qin Huairu nodded, Jiang is still hot, and Jia Zhang is really powerful.
Seeing that she had been praised by Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang became even more excited. She gritted her teeth and said: "Qin Jingru has been living in our house since she came to our house, and she has food and accommodation. This is a lot of money."
Money, of course, she is a relative, so I can give her a discount by lying to you. I think we should give Qin Jingru another two hundred yuan. Well, you go to Qin Jingru and ask her to give our family a thousand yuan. That way
