Chapter 250 The abacus jingles
Not only do I understand Sha Zhu's personality, but my mother-in-law knows Sha Zhu's personality even better. Since she has come to me to talk about this matter, it is enough to prove that she already has an idea in her mind.
Qin Huairu was a little overwhelmed at this moment.
Hiss, Qin Huairu took a breath of cold air.
No way, no way, is this mother-in-law of mine going to act up again?
"Mom, what do you mean?" Qin Huairu thought of this and looked at Jia Zhang cautiously, wanting to see what she was thinking from her expression.
Qin Huairu thought to herself that her life had finally gotten a little better, so please don't ruin it for me again.
Jia Zhang was still quite smart and knew what Qin Huairu meant.
"Don't look at me like that. I didn't say that I wouldn't allow you to take care of Old Yi in his old age." Jia Zhang's face was full of injustice.
"Really?" Qin Huairu couldn't believe it. When did her mother-in-law become so easy to talk to? Why would she do something that didn't benefit her? Could it be that she had changed her personality? Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang suspiciously.
Qin Huairu couldn't believe that Jia Zhang would do such useless things.
"Mom, just tell me whatever's on your mind." Qin Huairu knew her mother-in-law well. She would never do anything that didn't benefit her.
"Well, there's really nothing. I'm here for your and Sha Zhu's sake. Sha Zhu has to take care of Old Yi in his old age anyway. If you say this, it will make you look more virtuous." Jia Zhang did not answer Qin Huairu's question directly, but only explained indirectly that she was doing this for her and Sha Zhu's sake.
Jia Zhang didn't believe that Qin Huairu would see through her little thoughts.
"Mom, just tell me what your plans are. I don't believe you are so kind." Qin Huairu did not see through Jia Zhang's little thoughts, but she knew her mother-in-law very well. If this matter was not beneficial to her, she would not have come to tell her specifically.
"I really don't have any plans." Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't believe what she said and thought that she would not be so good to her, Jia Zhang felt a little aggrieved. Her sincerity was really wasted.
Jia Zhang really did not lie this time. She planned all this for her own grandson Banggeng. Banggeng will get married and have children in the future. Although the house is enough, who doesn't want more houses in their family?
"Mom, are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I will go and confront the uncle directly." Qin Huairu didn't know what expression she should use when she spoke. Her mother-in-law really thought she was a fool.
Qin Huairu sat on the bed and looked at her mother-in-law. If she said that her mother-in-law was selfless, she would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you!" Hearing Qin Huairu's tone, if she didn't intend to tell her little plan, she would go to Yi Zhonghai to make things clear. Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu fiercely. What kind of a spendthrift woman is this? She doesn't know how to consider her children at all. "Look, anyway, Sha Zhu has to provide for Old Yi in his old age. You can't avoid this matter." Jia Zhang also knew that she couldn't not make it clear on this matter. After glaring at Qin Huairu fiercely, Jia Zhang began to tell her little plan.
"Since you can't avoid taking care of old Yi in his old age, why don't you think about the bright side? You see, the old lady who lived in the backyard left her house to Sha Zhu after she passed away. Yi Zhonghai has no children, so his house will be left to Sha Zhu in the future." Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huairu with the side of her eyes, thinking to herself, I've explained it so clearly, don't you understand?
After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu suddenly realized something. She wondered why her mother-in-law would do something useless. It turned out that she was waiting for her here.
Qin Huairu was not embarrassed. This was a common thing for her. Wasn't Sha Zhu now equivalent to a childless man? They had been married for such a long time that Sha Zhu began to doubt whether he could have children.
Sha Zhu had previously mocked Xu Damao, saying that Xu Damao could not have children, but now, he and Xu Damao are in the same boat.
"Mom, this isn't a good idea." Qin Huairu felt a little embarrassed. Wouldn't it be nice to say something like this? Qin Huairu lowered her head and thought for a while. Although she had made the decision in her heart, she still had to put in some effort on the surface.
"Come on, don't I know what you are thinking?" Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu with disdain. Just look at Qin Huairu's reputation in the compound and you will know that her daughter-in-law is a better person than herself. Everything she has done is for someone to take care of her in her old age and for the benefit of her grandson.
What did Qin Huairu do? She was both a responsible person and a righteous person. She did even more than I did, but she was good at superficial work. Look at who in this compound doesn't say good things about her.
Just think about her actions, sometimes even Jia Zhang thought Qin Huairu was a cruel person. Who has ever seen someone get an IUD after giving birth? At that time, no one was targeting a widow like her. What does this show? It shows that Qin Huairu was well prepared at that time. If she really couldn't do it, she would rely on her body to exchange for some benefits.
"Then I'll discuss it with Sha Zhu when he comes back." Qin Huairu also knew that Sha Zhu would definitely not ignore this matter. However, even if she was taking care of Yi Zhonghai, it would at most mean cooking for one more person, washing one more person's dishes, and washing one more person's clothes. These were what she had been doing.
Other matters would require Sha Zhu to step forward. Qin Huairu thought that by doing so she could further enhance her reputation in the compound, so why not do such a good thing.
When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu say this, although she felt a little uncomfortable with her daughter-in-law's behavior of being both a role model and a double-actor, she knew that since these things were all for her grandson, she had nothing to say.
"Okay, since you have agreed, just tell Sha Zhu when the time comes." Jia Zhang said with some disgust.
Jia Zhangshi's words and deeds showed her contempt for Sha Zhu, but she never expressed it when she was in front of Sha Zhu.
"I understand." Qin Huairu nodded. She had a new respect for her mother-in-law. Although she looked fat and stupid, she actually knew a lot.
Qin Huairu didn't mind the trouble of taking care of the elderly. After all, being a mother-in-law herself was troublesome enough. Was there anyone else more troublesome than herself?
What's more, Yi Zhonghai has always been the uncle of this compound since Qin Huairu married into it at the age of eighteen. Qin Huairu has also been accustomed to listening to him as the uncle, so for Qin Huairu, it is just a matter of one more person to eat every day. What's more, Yi Zhonghai has a pension and a lot of savings. After the uncle passes away, these things will be great.
