35: Tears are dry, heart is dead
"How could you have no money? How could you have no money?"
Qin Huairu shook her mother-in-law and asked again and again. Her eyes were full of despair and sadness. Over the years, she had sacrificed everything for this family, and what did she get in the end?
The slant-eyed mother-in-law lowered her head. First she wanted to explain, then she fell silent. Finally, she was shaken by Qin Huairu and the anger in her heart burst out. She pushed Qin Huairu away, put one hand on her waist, and held the cloth shoes she was sewing in her hand with the other.
Bang, hit the table, pointed at Qin Huairu and shouted.
"Do you want me to die to be satisfied? I have worked hard for this family these years without any merit. You don't know that I have to take painkillers several times every month, otherwise I will feel pain everywhere.
I’ve already spent money to buy medicines. You can do whatever you want, but I don’t have a penny left!”
Qin Huairu looked at the fat mother-in-law in front of her. At this moment, her heart was filled with despair. She had tolerated it for so many years and had broken her heart for this family.
In order to feed her children, she was shameless and went to flatter and seduce the stinky old men in the steel factory, just for a few steamed buns.
In order to make my mother-in-law feel at ease, I gave her my savings and gave her three yuan of savings every month, just to make her believe that I was dedicated to this family.
In order to prevent this child from being wronged in the future, I was willing not to marry for so many years and hang on a stupid pillar. In the end, what did I get?
I got nothing, and my long-term meal ticket was also taken away. But I gave everything, but what did I get back?
Qin Huairu's heart completely gave up at this moment.
Qin Jingru, that silly girl, had just returned from a stroll with Xiaodang and Xiaoxinhua. She picked up the water on the table and drank it carelessly. With her silly girl character, she obviously didn't notice that the atmosphere in the room was wrong.
Qin Jingru was stupid and couldn't see the situation clearly, and asked while teasing Xiao Xianhua.
"Sister, have you cooked? I'm so hungry!"
The little ashamed flower on the side also echoed.
"Mom, I'm so hungry too!"
Qin Huairu's eyes were lifeless and dull, her heart was dying and her tears were drying, life must go on.
She carried everyone on her back, wiped away the tears on her face, picked up an empty cloth bag from the counter, and walked outside.
Qin Jingru was still a little strange and asked quickly.
"Sister, why are you going?"
Qin Huairu didn't look back and replied coldly.
"Borrow food!"
Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment, turned her head in embarrassment, and continued to tease Xiao Xinghua, who didn't understand anything.
When Qin Huairu went to borrow food, he first thought of He Yuzhu's house. But halfway through, he thought about it, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard. In this courtyard, besides He Yuzhu, there was a real good man, and this person could never be seen.
Dead without help.
This man is naturally the first uncle. In the past, the first uncle often helped Qin Huairu's family, but he was far less diligent than He Yuzhu.
But now, Qin Huairu's mind was in a mess. At this time, she really didn't want to see He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e being so close to each other, so she finally chose to go to the uncle's house.
pity!
The first uncle may have gone out today, and the door was closed. Qin Huairu stood at the door, biting her lip, turning around and continuing to walk towards He Yuzhu's house.
Bangge will be back soon, we can’t let our children go hungry tonight.
Qin Huairu pushed open He Yuzhu's half-opened door. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e were sitting together in the room. He didn't know what He Yuzhu said, which made Lou Xiao'e laugh heartily!
When the two of them saw Qin Huairu, they were also shocked. He Yuzhu did not expect that Qin Huairu would come to him.
The cold treatment during this period was very effective. Qin Huairu hadn't been to his house for a long time. Maybe He Yuzhu was too busy, so he didn't give Qin Huairu a chance.
Qin Huairu didn't expect Lou Xiao'e to be there, and the courage she had just summoned suddenly disappeared at this moment. She didn't want to show her fragile side in front of this woman.
Seeing Qin Huairu carrying an empty cloth bag, He Yuzhu was still a little confused, but as a neighbor, he stood up quickly and said enthusiastically.
"Sister Qin has come to visit me. What instructions do you have?"
Qin Huairu was not in the mood to reply at this time. Seeing the two people's intimacy, her inner grievance and sadness had reached the critical point. However, it was a fact that the family had no food. It was clear at a glance whether face was more important or the child's belly was more important.
Qin Huairu took a deep breath and then pretended to be calm.
"There's no food at home, Silly Zhu, can you lend me some flour? Bangzi noodles will do, too!"
He Yuzhu was a little curious about why Qin Huairu suddenly came to borrow flour. According to Qin Huairu's past urine behavior, she really wanted to borrow flour, but she would never say "borrow".
He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu have lived together for so many years, and he still understands Qin Huairu's character. If she really wanted to beat the autumn wind, she would never act like this, knowing that Lou Xiao'e might be in her room, and pretending to be calm, she entered her room and asked to borrow flour.
If Qin Huairu suddenly came in with a washbasin to clean up his smelly clothes and socks, then he would be like Qin Huairu in the past. But now he comes to his room with an empty bag to borrow food. Why does it feel a little weird?
of.
In the past, when Qin Huairu wanted to fight against the autumn wind, she would find a space as private as possible, first seduce her, and then tell her her request half-heartedly.
For example, she pretends to be pitiful and asks you to put your arm around her shoulders. At this time, she says pitifully, you have taken advantage of me, but my children are still hungry? You have to help me pay for today's meal!
Very few men can resist this kind of half-joking request. After all, it's just a matter of a few steamed buns. This is Qin Huairu's best move.
But now, seeing the look in her eyes, He Yuzhu knew that Widow Qin was really experiencing food shortage.
He Yuzhu really didn't think about it. According to Qin Huairu's family's savings, he estimated that it would take two or three years to drain them all, right?
Why has it only been a few months?
Her family is short of food?
He Yuzhu was about to ask more clearly. After all, he didn't want to be a bad person for no reason.
But at this moment, Lou Xiao'e stood up, took the initiative to hold Qin Huairu's hand, and said with concern.
"If you have any difficulties, just tell them. It's all about your neighbors. Come, I'll install it for you!"
With that said, he took the cloth bag in Qin Huairu's hand and went to He Yuzhu's house to hide the flour bag.
Lou Xiao'e generously filled more than half of the twenty kilograms of flour that she just brought home, weighing at least ten kilograms. Then she stopped, picked up the bag, and handed it to Qin Huairu.
"Sister Qin, are these enough? The children are all in the growing stage. If you have any difficulties, you can tell them. Zhuzhu, you took care of me for so long, and I haven't thanked you yet. If you have any difficulties in the future, just remember to tell them!
"
Qin Huairu numbly took the flour handed over by Lou Xiao'e. Thinking of everything she had experienced during this period, and also thinking of the days when Silly Zhujie helped her, it felt like a lifetime ago.
Why should she, Lou Xiaoe, take away the silly pillar that I have worked so hard for so many years?
Is she, Lou Xiaoe, better than me?
If your family background is not good, or you are divorced, you may not be able to have children, so is that better than yourself?
People are like this sometimes. After thinking about it, they can't figure it out at all. There is a trace of hatred in Qin Huairu's dull eyes. She hates the woman in front of her for taking away everything from her.
Hatred of this woman, she silently conquered the man in front of her. The hatred in her mind was getting higher and higher, reaching a critical point.
"Sister Qin, Sister Qin, is there enough flour?"
"Enough, enough!"
Qin Huairu was interrupted by Lou Xiao'e's inquiry, forced a smile and said thank you, turned around and left with the flour.
Chapter completed!
