Siheyuan: The Final Winner

042 He Yuzhu's Struggle

Jia Dongxu said dejectedly that the family had run out of food and wanted to borrow some food.

"Didn't we tell you that you came here a few days ago? Our family has no food left." The aunt frowned.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at him, and said in a deep thought: "Dongxu, you know, my monthly ration is only more than 30 catties."

"Your aunt doesn't work, and the monthly ration is only more than 20 catties."

"Ping An can't get enough to eat, so he has to take twenty catties from me every month."

"There are less than forty catties left. The two of my family have to save some food. There is no surplus food to borrow."

Jia Dongxu said unexpectedly: "Jiang Ping'an still gets food from your family every month? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Hehe, what's there to say?" Yi Zhonghai smiled.

"He has been collecting food from our house since the year before last, and Lao Liu and Lao Yan both know about it."

"It's not a glorious thing, there's nothing to show off."

Jia Dongxu said depressedly: "He also has a quota of more than 30 catties, right? Isn't it enough for one person?"

The aunt interjected: "He often has to go to the countryside and trek through mountains and rivers. Naturally, it's hard work. How can he do it if he doesn't have enough to eat?"

"That's right, don't underestimate going to the countryside for purchases. Traveling to the countryside is not as easy as going to the workshop." Yi Zhonghai nodded.

The aunt said: "Dongxu, you can handle at least one meal in the factory every day, and you can only bring your own food in the countryside."

Jia Dongxu was speechless, he didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to leave.

Let's go, there is no food at home, we can't borrow food, and the whole family will go hungry.

Don't go, listen to the tone of the two, they will not borrow money, which makes him embarrassed.

Seeing his hesitation, Yi Zhonghai secretly gave Da Ma a look.

The aunt understood, got up and said, "Dongxu, if you don't believe me, come and have a look at my rice vat."

Sure enough, Jia Dongxu looked at it in a daze, and the rice vat had bottomed out.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife had to save food, and there was indeed no food left to borrow.

If you can't borrow food, there is no need to stay any longer.

Jia Dongxu said hello and went home.

"Still haven't borrowed it yet?" Seeing that Jia Dongxu came back empty-handed, Jia Zhang's face was full of disappointment.

Jia Dongxu nodded, and resentfully said: "Gou Yue's Jiang Ping'an is really inferior to an animal."

"He has more than 30 catties of food that are not enough to eat, and he goes to the uncle's house every month to take away 20 catties!"

"If he doesn't take so much food, I can definitely borrow it!"

"What? There is such a thing? Who did you hear it from?" Jia Zhang said in surprise.

Jia Dongxu climbed onto the kang and sighed, "Hey, I was told by the uncle himself, there is no mistake."

Jia Zhang immediately cursed: "Jiang Ping'an is a villain, such a short-lived ghost!"

"He is the nemesis of our Jia family, why doesn't he die?"

The whole family was gloomy, Qin Huairu frowned and hesitated: "Do you want to borrow from other people in the courtyard?"

"Who can I borrow from?" Jia Dongxu lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said:

"Needless to say the family of the third grandpa, they are still saving money on food and clothing!"

"The second uncle's family has two adults and three children, all of whom are nothing but food buckets, and they don't have enough food for themselves, let alone borrowing money from others?"

"Not to mention the other residents, they are all poor ghosts!"

"In our courtyard, there are only Xu Damao's family and Sha Zhu's family now, and there may be some food left."

"There is no need to go to Xu Damao's house. Since he got married, Lou Xiao'e has been in charge of his family. He can't be the master at all."

"Their family's food and money are all held by Lou Xiao'e, who only gives Xu Damao ten yuan a month for expenses, and never gives more than one cent."

"That silly girl Lou Xiao'e is very unreasonable, and only Jiang Ping'an and the deaf old lady in the yard can eat her family's food."

"So Xu Damao's family doesn't have to waste their tongues. They will definitely not be able to borrow food."

"As for the silly Zhu family..."

When it came to He Yuzhu's house, Jia Dongxu hesitated.

If he hadn't made such a fuss before, maybe he could go to his house to borrow some food.

Now, he has no idea.

"Go to Sha Zhu's house and try it!" Jia Zhang said.

Jia Dongxu hesitated and said, "But our family just had a falling out with him..."

"It's okay, close neighbors are not as good as distant relatives." Mrs. Jia waved her hand.

"Silly Zhu, as our neighbor, should lend some food to our family for emergencies, shouldn't it?"

Jia Dongxu pondered for a moment, nodded and smiled and said, "This statement makes sense, then I'll go there now."

Qin Huairu pursed her lips, trying to persuade her, but gave up in an instant.

She knows her man and mother-in-law's character too well.

If they dared to sing a different tune at this moment, they would not be able to persuade them not to speak, but would scold themselves together.

He Yuzhu's house.

Jia Dongxu stood at the door and stretched his head to look, and saw He Yuzhu standing shirtless under the light bulb.

Holding the mirror in one hand, the other hand dipped cotton in medicinal wine, and smeared and disinfected the wound on the neck.

"Hiss..." The burning pain made He Yuzhu grin his teeth, hating Jia Zhang to death.

Hearing the movement, he looked to the door and found that it was Jia Dongxu. He immediately turned pale and snorted coldly.

Jia Dongxu rubbed his hands and walked into the room with an awkward smile.

"Silly Zhu, I'm sorry, this incident happened today."

He Yuzhu's expression softened slightly, he glanced at him sideways, and said angrily, "Are you here to apologize?"

"Uh... no, I'm here to borrow food!" Jia Dongxu choked and hesitated.

He Yuzhu shook his head without thinking, "No, my family has no food left."

"Hey! Silly Zhu, we live in the same courtyard, and we are neighbors on the left and right. We don't see each other when we look up, and we don't hold grudges!" Jia Dongxu suddenly became unhappy.

He Yuzhu cut his voice, and replied: "What's the matter, why do I hold grudges? You let your mother make trouble again!"

Jia Dongxu said anxiously: "Silly Zhu! The uncle has already punished today's matter, so the story has already been turned over!"

"As a neighbor, isn't it right for you to borrow some food from our family for emergencies?"

"If you don't want to borrow, they say that my family has no food left. How can I borrow from you?" He Yuzhu said expressionlessly.

Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and frowned, "Shazhu, you're so boring."

"You are the squad leader of the back kitchen in the cafeteria, and you don't usually consume much food."

"Your ration alone is enough for you and the rainwater to eat."

"In other words, the ration of rainwater can be saved almost entirely. How can there be no food?"

He Yuzhu sighed, put all the mirror and medicine on the table, and explained:

"My family really doesn't have any extra food, and Jiang Ping'an took all the food from the rain!"

"What? How is it possible?" Jia Dongxu's eyes widened, filled with shock and anger.

Hearing the name Jiang Ping'an, he immediately had a bad feeling.

"Just now when I went to the old man's house, the old man also said that Jiang Ping'an took their food."

"Jiang Pingan has his own ration, and he takes it from the uncle's house and you. How could he eat so much?"

He Yuzhu sat down, nodded and said, "I don't need to lie to you, and the uncle didn't lie to you either."

"That boy Jiang Ping'an has a bad habit. He rarely eats coarse grains, saying that he has no strength after eating coarse grains."

"So he replaced his own grain, and the grain he took from the uncle and my family, with fine grain."

He took a few glances at Jia Dongxu, heyed for a long time, and said:

"Let's talk about it, it's disgraceful, and I'm quite aggrieved."

"Yu Shui wants to give his grain to Jiang Ping'an, and because of this, I almost went home with Yu Shui."

"In the end, the three uncles in the courtyard came forward, and I agreed with it!"

"Yu Shui's elbow is turning outward, I can't stop it, and I have to feed her with my own food, are you aggrieved?"

Jia Dongxu opened his mouth, and after a while he became listless, and said, "Uh, I'm so aggrieved..."
