Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 192 Qin Huairu goes to Aunt Wu's house to ask for meat, only to be turned away again.

The next day, early in the morning.

After finishing breakfast, Wang Feng returned to Courtyard No. 95 with Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru carried chicken heads, chicken butts and entrails, as well as rabbit butts and entrails, and some fish entrails, weighing several kilograms in total, and went to Aunt Wu's house, knocking on Aunt Wu's door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Who is it?"

Upon opening the door, Aunt Wu greeted Qin Jingru with a smile, saying, "It's Jingru! Come in, come in, have a seat."

"Sister Jingru, did you come to visit me?"

When Ya Ya saw Qin Jingru, she ran out of the house with her short legs, hugged Qin Jingru's long legs, and blinked her big eyes at Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru gently patted Ya Ya's head and smiled slightly, "Ya Ya, I need to talk to your mother about something. How about I play with you after I get off work this afternoon?"

"Yes, Sister Jingru, you must come and play with me!" Yaya nodded her little head obediently.

When Aunt Wu heard that Qin Jingru wanted to see her, she quickly asked, "Jingru, what do you need me for?"

Qin Jingru opened a large paper package and said with a smile, "Aunt Wu, this is what happened. I cooked a lot of dishes for a friend yesterday. There are a lot of chicken heads, chicken butts and innards here, as well as some rabbit butts and innards, and some fish innards as well. Wang Feng and I don't eat these, so you can take them to Ya Ya to help her recover."

Aunt Wu was immediately surprised when she saw what was inside the large paper package. There was so much meat, at least four or five pounds. In this year, chicken heads, chicken butts, and internal organs are good stuff.

Aunt Wu waved her hands repeatedly: "Jingru, there's so much meat, I can't take it. I didn't help you with any work, I can't just take your things for free."

Qin Jingru shoved the large paper package into Aunt Wu's hand and said with a smile, "Aunt Wu, I didn't spend any money on these things, and neither Wang Feng nor I eat them. We can't just throw them away, can we? Please don't be shy. Take them and help Ya Ya recover. Look how thin she's been lately."

Seeing how kind Qin Jingru was to their family, and looking at the thin and frail Yaya, Aunt Wu wiped away her tears of gratitude and said:

"Jingru, thank you, thank you and Wang Feng. If you need anything in the yard in the future, just tell Aunt Wu. As long as Aunt Wu can do it, she will do it without hesitation."

"Hehe, Aunt Wu, okay then. Hurry up and clean up these chicken heads, chicken butts, and internal organs. I have to go to work soon, so I'll be going now."

"Why."

After Qin Jingru left, Ya Ya looked at Aunt Wu and asked in her childish voice, "Mommy, are we going to have meat today?"

Aunt Wu wiped away her tears, patted Ya Ya's little head, and smiled, saying, "Yes, we'll have meat for lunch today, Ya Ya. This meat was given to us by Sister Jingru. When you grow up, you must repay Sister Jingru and Brother Wang Feng, okay?"

"Mom, I understand. When I grow up, I want to be Wang Feng's wife too, so I can repay Sister Jingru and Brother Wang Feng," Ya Ya said in her childish voice.

"Silly girl, don't talk nonsense. If your sister Jingru finds out, she won't talk to you anymore."

Aunt Wu glared at Ya Ya, then pulled her back into the house to prepare the ingredients.

When Qin Jingru returned to the house, she took the chicken coop outside, fed the chickens again, and brewed a pot of tea for Wang Feng. The two of them then drank the tea.

"Brother Wang Feng, Aunt Wu is too kind. I offered her chicken heads and chicken butts earlier, but she refused them no matter what. I practically begged her until she finally accepted them."

Wang Feng laughed and said, "Jingru, do you think everyone is like Jia Zhangshi? If Aunt Wu were like Jia Zhangshi, I would rather throw the chicken head and the chicken butt to feed the dogs than give it to her."

"Hehe, that's true."

"By the way, Brother Wang Feng, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, and Yan Jiecheng don't eat at the third canteen anymore. I want to cook for them, but I can't anymore."

Wang Feng took a sip of tea and waved his hand dismissively: "If they can't flip it, they can't flip it. As long as they dare to eat at the third canteen, you can just keep flipping the wok as much as you want."

"Um."

After drinking a pot of tea, Qin Jingru swept the snow in front of the door again. Seeing that it was almost time, she pushed her bicycle to the steel rolling mill.

After Qin Jingru left, Wang Feng looked at the two old hens in the coop and was speechless. The chickens had been out for several days, but Yan Jiecheng hadn't come to kill them. Was he afraid?

Time flew by and it was noon. Wang Feng took out braised pork and rice from his spatial storage and started eating.

the other side.

Banggeng was playing with Xiaodang in the front yard when they suddenly smelled the aroma of meat from Aunt Wu's house. He grabbed Xiaodang and ran back to the Jia family's house in the middle yard.

"Grandma, Ya Ya's family is eating meat. Quickly, tell my mom to go to Ya Ya's house and ask for some meat!" Bang Geng shouted.

"Bang Geng, are you serious? The Wu family is so poor, how could they afford meat?" Madam Jia asked with a hint of doubt.

Banggeng shook Jia Zhangshi's arm, stiffening his neck and shouting:

"Grandma, it's true! I smelled it when I passed by her house. It really is meat, it smells so good! Hurry and send my mom over, or they'll eat it all!"

Madam Jia nodded, looked at Qin Huairu who was making cornbread, and burst into a tirade:

"Qin Huairu, are you dead? Didn't you hear Banggeng say that the Wu family's wife is eating meat? Why aren't you going to go and get a bowl? Do you want my precious grandson to starve to death?"

Qin Huairu turned around and advised, "Mom, Aunt Wu has never gotten along with our family. Last time, Bang Geng beat Ya Ya so badly. Even if I go, Aunt Wu won't give us any meat."

Madam Jia glared fiercely at Qin Huairu with her triangular eyes and cursed, "Qin Huairu, you useless thing! Can't you think of a way? You can't get meat from that little beast Wang Feng's house, and the Wu family is just a widow and her children, you still can't get meat from them. What use are you?"

Qin Huairu wanted to persuade her again, but Jia Zhangshi glared at her with her triangular eyes and said, "Go quickly, if you don't get meat for lunch today, you won't be eating."

Qin Huairu reluctantly took out her family's heirloom large bowl, opened the door, and went out.

Arriving at Aunt Wu's house in the front yard, Qin Huairu took a deep breath and knocked on Aunt Wu's door.

"Knock knock knock".

Who is it?

"Aunt Wu, it's me, Huai Ru. Can you open the door? I need to talk to you."

Aunt Wu put a piece of meat on Ya Ya's plate and said coldly, "Qin Huairu, we have nothing to say to each other. You can leave now."

Qin Huairu called out loudly from outside the door, "Aunt Wu, open the door, I really need to talk to you."

"Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu."

Qin Huairu called for a long time, but Aunt Wu didn't respond at all. Qin Huairu sighed, picked up the large bowl, and walked back to the central courtyard in disappointment.

Qin Huairu wiped away her tears with aggrieved feelings. Why was she so unlucky? She was married into a family like the Jia family, and had such a wicked mother-in-law who kept saying that the Jia family was some kind of high-class family and made her go beg for meat. Now, whenever the residents in the courtyard ate meat, they were afraid that she would come knocking on their door.
