Mrs. Jia Zhang frowned and stared at the words on the paper, not to mention how strenuous she looked.
She had never touched writing in her life, but now she was in her fifties, and her brain and hands were no longer functioning properly. Looking at the words with her eyes was like reading a heavenly book, and she felt dizzy after a while.
The third uncle also taught him patiently for three days, but Mrs. Jia Zhang was like a lump on an elm tree, and she never got the idea.
On this day, the third uncle finally couldn't bear it anymore. He threw away his pen in anger, pointed at Jia Zhang and scolded: "Tell me, why are you so stupid? I have been teaching you these three words for three days.
I still can’t remember anything. How much time have I wasted? I’m so unlucky for eight lifetimes to make this deal with you.”
Jia Zhang was already upset when she was studying, and she got angry after being scolded by the third uncle: "Yan Bugui, who do you think is stupid? This word is already difficult to recognize. I am already so old, and you still expect me?"
Are you like those little kids who can learn things instantly? Besides, it was you who wanted to make a deal with me, and now you blame me?"
The third uncle was so angry that he puffed his beard and stared: "Huh, are you still reasonable? I think you just don't want to learn. If you were more serious, would you be able to learn? I've lost my wife and lost my army. I haven't gained any benefits and it's a waste."
So much energy.”
The third aunt saw the two people quarreling and hurried over to break up the fight. She looked at Jia Zhang and asked: "Old Jia, do you want to learn to write or to read? These two are different. If you want to learn to write,
That’s so difficult. It takes so much effort to learn it from scratch at your age. But if you just know how to read, it would be much easier.”
Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I just need to read and recognize those three characters. I don't plan to write them."
The third uncle snorted from the side: "You can't even learn to read. Look at you."
Mrs. Jia Zhang glared at the third uncle: "Stop talking, now listen to the third aunt."
The third aunt rolled her eyes at the third uncle, and then said to Mrs. Jia Zhang: "Then we won't bother learning to write, and we will just focus on reading. Come on, Lao Yan, you can teach me again. Don't scold me all the time. You don't look like a teacher."
.”
Although the third uncle still looked reluctant, he couldn't say anything else. He could only pick up the pen and paper again and prepare to teach Jia Zhang how to read again.
Under the suggestion of the third aunt, the process of character recognition went much smoother. Jia Zhang no longer struggled with how to write the strokes, but concentrated on memorizing the appearance and pronunciation of the characters. Unexpectedly, in just a moment, Jia Zhang learned
I am familiar with the word "minicomputer".
She looked at the third uncle proudly, with disdain on her face: "Humph, Yan Bugui, you still say I'm stupid? I think you are the fool. You haven't taught me anything after three days of teaching, you are worse than the third aunt."
You just want to take advantage of my waste products, and you deliberately don’t teach me well.”
When the third uncle heard this, his face turned red with anger. He pointed at Mrs. Jia Zhang with a trembling hand: "You...you ungrateful thing, I worked hard to teach you, but it's better for you to scold me after you learn it. I'm so ungrateful."
What kind of evil have I done to meet such an unreasonable person like you?"
Jia Zhang didn't care, and continued: "Don't pretend to be pitiful here, I don't know you yet? With your little thoughts, I understand these three words now, our deal is completed, don't do anything else in the future
Come and bother me." After saying that, she walked away in a big way, leaving the third uncle in the room panting with anger, and the third aunt shaking her head helplessly.
In the next few days, Jia Zhang had been watching Li Donglai's house. She knew very well that the document with the minicomputer must be very important, otherwise Zhang Lihua would not have spent two hundred yuan to buy it. If she had not
Be careful. If you are caught by Li Donglai, you will be in trouble.
On the early morning of the weekend, the sun shone in the courtyard. Jia Zhang was hiding in the corner and staring at Li Donglai's house as usual, not daring to blink. At this time, she saw Li Donglai getting up early, and then Ding Qiunan left.
When I came out, two children, Wei Dong and Wei Guo, were laughing and playing next to them.
Silly Zhu came out of the house just in time. Seeing their happy family, he asked with a smile: "Donglai, where are you going? Look at this battle, it's quite lively."
Li Donglai replied with a smile on his face: "Si Zhu, we went to the flight base to visit our little sister. We haven't seen that girl for a long time, and the children also miss her."
Silly Zhu nodded: "Then you guys have fun, the flight base is not close, be careful on the road."
"Don't worry, Silly Zhu." After Li Dong finished speaking, he led his family out of the hospital.
Mrs. Jia Zhang saw all this in the corner and secretly rejoiced: "God is really helping me. Li Donglai and his whole family are gone. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." She was so excited that her hands trembled slightly and she felt
The two hundred yuan was already waving to her. When Li Donglai and his family walked away, she quietly walked out of the corner, looked around, and then walked quickly in the direction of Li Donglai's house.
Qin Huairu has been full of suspicions about Jia Zhang's behavior during this time. She knows Jia Zhang's temperament well and is afraid that she will cause a big disaster. On this day, Qin Huairu was busy with the work in hand, but her eyes kept changing from time to time.
She glanced at the place where Jia Zhang usually stayed. Suddenly, she saw Jia Zhang's sneaky figure heading towards Li Donglai's house. Qin Huairu's heart suddenly tugged, and her face changed with fear.
She didn't care about anything else, dropped the things in her hands, rushed over in three steps, grabbed Jia Zhang's arm, lowered her voice and said urgently: "Mom, what are you doing? You can't go
Ah!" Mrs. Jia Zhang was startled by the sudden obstruction. She turned around and saw Qin Huairu, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and wanted to break free from Qin Huairu's hand and continue walking forward.
Qin Huairu grabbed Ms. Jia Zhang tightly and pulled her to a corner of the yard where no one was paying attention. She looked at her with horror and anger: "Mom, are you crazy? You sneaked to Li Donglai's house.
, what do you want to do? If you do something bad, our whole family will suffer."
But Mrs. Jia Zhang looked impatient: "Let go of me and stay out of my business. I know it well."
Just as Qin Huairu was about to continue questioning Jia Zhang, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the aunt standing not far away, staring at them. She was shocked. If the aunt saw any clues, this matter would be in trouble.
So, Qin Huairu quickly put on a smile, walked towards Auntie, and greeted her warmly: "Auntie, you got up early today."
The eldest mother smiled and responded: "Yes, Qin Huairu, what are you and your mother-in-law doing? It's mysterious."
Qin Huairu's heart thumped, but she said haha: "It's nothing, aunt, my mother and I just talked about some common things, and we're leaving now." As she said that, she turned around and glared at Jia.
Zhang glanced at her, pulled her and walked quickly towards the cellar.
When they arrived in the cellar, it was dark and damp all around, with only a faint light coming in from the cellar entrance. Qin Huairu let go of Jia Zhang's hand, panted heavily, and looked at her seriously: "Mom, there is no one else here now.
Tell me the truth, what exactly do you want to do at Li Donglai's house? Don't try to fool me, you must make it clear today."
In the cellar, Mrs. Jia Zhang patted her chest and said to Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, don't worry about it. I really just went to get two pieces of paper. Can this be considered stealing? When I get it, our family can
With two hundred yuan, Banggeng's medical expenses will be covered, and we don't have to live such a miserable life anymore."
Qin Huairu frowned and looked at Jia Zhang with suspicion: "Mom, do you think I am a three-year-old child? Can two pieces of paper be worth two hundred yuan? Don't fool me. I don't understand you yet.
Is that so? You have such a greedy temper that you want to get benefits whenever you get the chance. You must have bad intentions this time. If you really steal something, our whole family will suffer along with you."
Jia Zhang's eyes widened and she shouted to Qin Huairu: "If you can give me two hundred yuan, then I won't go to Li Donglai's house. If you can't give it, don't stop me.
It’s to make money to save Bangge.”
Qin Huairu looked embarrassed. How could she have so much money? Her family's situation was already stretched thin. "Mom, where can I get two hundred yuan? Just stop bothering, we can't do this kind of thing."
When Jia Zhang heard this, her face became even more ugly, and she began to curse: "Qin Huairu, you have no conscience. You know that Bangge is waiting for money to save his life in the hospital, but you come to stop me now. This is the key to you.
Damn it, why did I end up with a daughter-in-law like you, you are just a broom star."
Qin Huairu looked at the dishonest Jia Zhang, and her heart was full of helplessness and pain. She knew that she could not change Jia Zhang's mind at all, and she could not spend two hundred yuan to stop her. After hesitating again and again, Qin Huairu finally decided
Slowly letting go of Jia Zhang's hand, tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly, straightened her clothes, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cellar. She walked out of the cellar quietly, looked around, and after making sure no one was paying attention, she headed towards Li Donglai
Move quickly in the direction of home.
Arriving in front of Li Donglai's house, Jia Zhang looked around cautiously again, then carefully opened the door and slipped in sideways. The room was extremely quiet, but her heart was pounding because of nervousness.
The two hundred dollars and the minicomputer information kept coming to mind, and I started rummaging around the house.
Jia Zhang's hands were trembling slightly, and her eyes were shining with greed and excitement. When she turned out the two pieces of paper with "Minicomputer" written on them, a smile instantly broke out on her face, like a person who had been hungry for a long time.
Seeing the delicious food, she hurriedly folded the paper, carefully stuffed it into her clothes, and covered it tightly with her hands, fearing that it would fly away.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside. The sound "dong dong dong" seemed to hit Mrs. Jia Zhang's heart every time. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and her mind went blank. Her first reaction was
Li Donglai came back. She looked around in panic, and finally like a frightened mouse, she quickly crawled under the bed and hid.
Mrs. Jia Zhang's face was flushed from holding it in under the bed, and big beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead. When the footsteps gradually disappeared, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was really a false alarm. She used her hands and feet together,
He crawled out from under the bed, stood up and patted his chest with lingering fear.
Then, she walked quietly to the door, opened the door, poked her head out and looked around, and when she saw no one, she quickly slipped out. But as soon as she went out, she bumped into her bangs. It turned out that she just did that
The sound of footsteps was made by Liu Haizhong passing by.
Liu Haizhong saw Jia Zhang sneaking out of Li Donglai's house and asked suspiciously: "Jia Zhang, what are you doing at Donglai's house?"
Mrs. Jia Zhang trembled with fright, her eyes moved around in panic, and she stammered: "I...I didn't do anything, I was just passing by, passing by."
Liu Haizhong frowned, obviously not believing it: "Passing by? You came out of someone else's house. Did you lie to a ghost? Did you steal something?"
When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately raised her voice: "Don't slander me, Liu Haizhong, I didn't do anything, so don't slander me here." But her hand unconsciously grasped the corner of her clothes where the paper was hidden.
, I was so scared that I might see some clues in my bangs.
Liu Haizhong squinted his eyes and stared at Mrs. Jia Zhang's panicked expression, and he had guessed it in his mind. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, with a hint of pride, and he said slowly: "Ms. Jia Zhang, don't pretend to be like me.
I don’t know about you yet? You must have done nothing good. However, I’m not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people’s business. As long as you give me fifty yuan, I will pretend that I didn’t see what happened today.”
Jia Zhang's eyes widened: "Fifty yuan? You are robbing me! How can I have so much money?"
Liu Haizhong sneered: "Humph, you have no money? Then I will publicize the fact that you sneaked out of Li Donglai's house. You also know that Li Donglai and I have never dealt with each other. If he knows that you did it in his house,
How can he spare you for doing something shameful? Besides, I think you must have gotten something terrible, so you should weigh it yourself."
Mrs. Jia Zhang gritted her teeth, feeling angry and resentful, but she was also afraid that Liu Haizhong would really expose this matter. She was thinking in her mind that if Li Donglai found out, not only would she lose the two hundred yuan, but she would also have to get into trouble.
Big trouble.
Thinking of this, she said fiercely to Liu Haizhong: "Okay, Liu Haizhong, you are so cruel! I will give you money, but you have to promise that you will keep this matter in your stomach today. If you dare to say a word, I will never finish with you."
.”
Liu Haizhong smiled: "Don't worry, as long as I get the money, I will definitely keep it secret."
"Liu Haizhong, I really have no money now, and you also know the situation of my family. When I finish the work, I will give you fifty yuan when I get the money. You can't regret it."
Liu Haizhong frowned and looked at her with some suspicion: "Jia Zhang, don't try to play tricks on me. If you dare to lie to me, I will make it difficult for you to live in this hospital."
Mrs. Jia Zhang waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, how dare I. I'm anxious to get this done now. When I get the money, I'll give it to you as soon as possible."
Liu Haizhong stared at Mrs. Jia Zhang for a while, feeling that she should not dare to lie to him, after all, he had the control. So he nodded: "Okay, then I will believe you for once, you have to hurry up, if you delay too much
I don’t care about it for a long time.”
As if she had been pardoned, Mrs. Jia Zhang hurriedly turned around and left, but in her heart she was cursing Liu Haizhong for taking advantage of the situation.
Damn bangs, if given the chance, I will definitely deal with you.
