Chapter 42 Qin Huairu is free to advance and retreat
Qin Huairu returned to the room, silently picked up the soup and continued to drink it.
Jia Zhang said sarcastically: "What do you think? I'm right, I thought I was so respectable. You, my cousin, and Xu Damao, don't live in the same family!"
Qin Huairu was so angry that she put the bowl down, stood up and walked out.
Jia Zhang said angrily: "What are you doing again?"
"I'm going to find Lou Xiao'e. Lin Zhen has already left for work. She left late and should still be at home."
"You...why are you looking for him? Dongxu told him before he left that he was not allowed to interact with his family."
"I'm here to borrow money, not to chat. The child is getting older and needs more money for food and clothing. I don't know what to do. How about you go and borrow it?"
Mrs. Jia Zhang pursed her lips. She knew in her heart that based on her behavior, the entire hospital would not be able to borrow even a dime.
"Then... well, don't talk to Lin Zhen anymore."
"It's unnecessary for you to worry. I'm looking for Lou Xiao'e because she is the only one in the whole hospital who is kind and doesn't care about money."
Mrs. Jia Zhang stopped talking, hoping in her heart that Qin Huairu could borrow some money to support her family.
"Xiao'e, haven't you gone to work yet?"
"Well, let's go now. You are going out, Sister Qin."
"No, I have something to do with you."
"Looking for me? Tell me what you want."
"Well, my family has just finished some errands and is very tight. I want to borrow fifty yuan from you and pay it back to you as soon as I get to work and get paid."
Half a year ago, Lou Xiao'e would have given Qin Huairu a few dollars without hesitation, even if she couldn't afford fifty.
But because Qin Huairu asked Lin Zhen to borrow money last time and Jia Zhang scolded her as an adulterer and broke her shoes, Lou Xiao'e has always had a grudge in her heart.
No woman who loves her husband is not jealous.
Lou Xiao'e didn't say anything on the surface, but she was already a little wary of Qin Huairu.
What's more, Mrs. Jia Zhang was worried that her daughter-in-law would run away without becoming a widow. The person she was most wary of in the entire courtyard was her husband Lin Zhen.
If this money is borrowed, there will probably be conflicts again.
The kind-hearted Lou Xiao'e politely refused this time, "Sister Qin, wait until tonight. I'll tell Lin Zhen that if there is a rich man in the family, let him send it to you."
Qin Huairu knew there was no chance as soon as she heard it.
I thought that Lou Xiao'e, who didn't care about money and was kind-hearted, must have asked Lin Zhen to stop borrowing money.
It seems that it is impossible to break through the defense line with Lou Xiao'e alone. If you want to attract the richest family in the courtyard, you have to go to Lin Zhen directly.
"Then... well, you talk to Lin Zhen tonight, I'll go back first."
As soon as she saw Qin Huairu going out with all her energy and coming back with all her energy, Jia Zhang knew that this trip was in vain.
"Hmph! You can learn from whoever you follow. Lou Xiaoe was such a good girl when she first entered the hospital, very generous. Now she is as stingy as Lin Zhen, and he can teach her!"
Qin Huairu sighed and said: "We can't just catch Silly Zhu and pull it alone. The deaf old lady hates me recently. If our family wants to live a spacious life, we have to find Lin Zhen. Mom, you can rest assured that I will find Lin Zhen."
Borrow money?"
Jia Zhang glanced at her and said angrily: "Don't even think about it!"
Qin Huairu sighed and said: "You just can't turn around and are afraid that I will leave you alone. Don't you think that Lin Zhen will abandon Lou Xiao'e and four sons and have to lead me through? I borrowed money for our sake."
Home is also for you to take care of yourself in old age."
"Hmph! Stop trying to coax me with nice words. Dongxu told me before he left that you are not allowed to interact with Lin Zhen!"
"Mom! It's me who is taking care of you now, not him. He clapped his hands and walked away easily. The five of us are left to suffer. If I die in a few days, I will have to go underground to settle accounts with him."
"Bah, bah, bah! Don't talk nonsense. You have to die after me. You can't leave my old lady behind!"
"Then don't worry about me being so strict. I borrowed money for this family. If you are worried about not providing for your retirement, from today on, I will save you three yuan of pension every month.
, as long as I live, it won’t cost you any money for medical treatment, clothing and food, you can keep it for yourself!”
Jia Zhang asked suspiciously: "Really?"
Qin Huairu immediately got up and went to the back room to take out 3 yuan and handed it to Jia Zhang.
"Mom, on this day next month, I will give you three yuan back, and you can save it yourself!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang's eyes turned red when she was moved. For the first time in six or seven years, she felt that Qin Huairu was truly a member of the Jia family.
"Hey! I...I'll keep it. As long as you don't get too close to Lin Zhen, I...I'll pretend not to see you."
Qin Huairu smiled and said: "Don't worry, he is worse than Silly Zhu in my eyes."
Jia Zhang curled her lips and said, "Silly Zhu is a fool."
…………
After Lin Zhen returned home from get off work, Lou Xiao'e immediately told him about Qin Huairu's borrowing money.
Lin Zhen asked with a smile: "Wife, what do you think? Do you want to borrow it?"
Lou Xiao'e thought for a while and said: "Normally our family is not short of money. If we really have difficulties, let alone borrow it. It's no problem to give it directly, but I'm afraid of getting entangled with the Jia family."
Lin Zhen nodded, "Not only the Jia family, but also the entire hospital is entangled with you. It is right not to borrow money. A gentleman helps the emergency but not the poor. Although Qin Huairu is in poverty, there are others in the city who are worse off than her. After Jia Dongxu's death,
, there is basically nothing critical in her family. Our family is not a charity, so we can’t take care of that much. If you come to borrow it next time, you can ask her to go to Shazhu."
Lou Xiao'e nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't it miserable for Silly Zhu to keep helping Qin Huairu?"
"You don't know, Shazhu enjoys it, he is willing!"
Ah sneeze!
Silly Zhu had just taken out a bottle of wine, and before opening the lid, he suddenly sneezed.
"It must be Xu Damao's grandson talking about me behind my back again. I'm really itchy!"
"What are you talking about? Who's itchy?"
Qin Huairu opened the door curtain and came into the room. She squinted her eyes and looked at Silly Zhu with a wicked smile.
Silly Zhu slapped his forehead helplessly, "Hey! Qin Huairu, you come here every day to collect lunch boxes. I've been tired from work all day, and you won't let me have a drink after get off work?"
Qin Huairu said with fake anger: "Who didn't let you drink? Aren't you here to give you food and drinks?"
"Bring me food? Humph! It must be up to no good!"
"Shut up! It's not enough for me to have a drink with you!"
Qin Huairu said, taking out a bag of fried peanuts and putting them on the table.
Silly Zhu looked at it and said with a smile: "Didn't I fry this the day before yesterday? It was gone just after one meal. It must have been swept away by stick stalks."
Qin Huairu said: "How dare you blame Banggeng if you don't put it away after eating? Isn't this sent to you?"
As he spoke, he grabbed Shazhu's wine glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Silly Zhu was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand, "Okay, okay! Sister! Sister! Let Aunt Jia know that you are drinking at my place, why don't you tear me alive!"
Qin Huairu sighed, lowered her head and said with tears: "I have no popularity at all in the courtyard. Qin Jingru won't lend me money, and Lou Xiao'e won't lend it to me either. The family is very poor, and my mother-in-law keeps making excuses every day. I...
…well……"
"Ouch! No, no, no, don't shed tears, what a big deal!"
As soon as Shazhu saw Qin Huairu crying, he immediately became confused.
"This is true for Lin Zhen and Xu Damao. What can happen if they borrow some money? It's unkind to be rich! You take the ten dollars first. I hate to see women cry, especially you!"
