Close the door.
Jia Zhangshi then began to hurl insults.
She was even angrier than Yi Zhonghai, after all, it was money donated to the Jia family.
Wan Ping'an disrupted the donation conference, which was tantamount to cutting off her source of income. Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents, especially since the two families already had a feud.
"It's over now!"
“I was originally planning to have Yi Zhonghai hold a donation meeting every two months, so that our family's life would be better.”
"But with Guan Ping'an's interference, it will be impossible to hold a donation conference in the future."
Jia Zhangshi almost ground her teeth to powder.
Jia Dongxu didn't utter a sound.
Jia Gensheng is gone. He is the saddest and most anxious person.
When Jia Gen was alive, there was someone to share the burden when Jia Zhangshi lost her temper, but now he has to bear it all by himself.
Why are you looking down?
"Why didn't you say a word at the donation rally just now?"
What use is a son like you to me?
Jia Dongxu's ominous premonition came true.
Jia Zhangshi got angry at him.
He could only endure it silently, not daring to retaliate.
He knew very well that if he didn't talk back, Jia Zhangshi would stop scolding him after a while; but if he dared to talk back, it wouldn't just be a matter of scolding for a short while.
"I'm hungry, I'm going to cook."
After cursing for a while, Jia Zhangshi's stomach growled.
"Mom, we're out of food. Give me some money so I can go buy some."
Jia Dongxu said in a low voice.
In 1950, the era of ration coupons had not yet begun.
Whether you're buying grain or meat, you don't need any receipts, all you need is money!
"What money do you want?"
"Go find Yi Zhonghai; he promised to take care of us."
Jia Zhangshi covered her pocket.
She didn't want to spend a single penny.
"By the way, once you start working, you must hand over all your work to me."
"You're too young, I'm afraid you'll spend money recklessly. I'll save your money for when you get married, do you understand?"
Jia Zhangshi remembered something very important.
While Jia Gensheng was at work, she controlled the family's finances.
While Jia Dongxu was at work, she also had to manage the family's finances.
She knew very well that the person who controlled the money was the boss.
Even if Jia Dongxu gets married in the near future, she will still have to control the family's finances; a wife is meant to be a servant.
Never compete with her for your position in the family!
Having no other option, Jia Dongxu had to go to Yi Zhonghai.
"Doesn't your mother give you money to buy food?"
Yi Zhonghai was slightly taken aback.
Then I realized what was happening.
Before Old Jia died, Jia Zhangshi controlled the Jia family's economic lifeline.
"Okay, I'll give you ten pounds of cornmeal. Take it back and eat it first!"
Yi Zhonghai brought ten jin of cornmeal.
He plans to observe for a while longer. If there are no problems, he will take Jia Dongxu as his apprentice and train him carefully, so that Jia Dongxu can become his caregiver in his old age.
Jia family.
"See? I told you I was right."
"Go find Yi Zhonghai, and he won't let you go hungry."
When Jia Zhangshi saw that Jia Dongxu had obtained the grain, she felt a surge of pride.
He took the bag, opened it, and his face darkened again!
"Why is it cornmeal?"
"I want refined grains, I want to eat white flour, not cornmeal!"
Jia Zhangshi was furious.
"Mom, it's good enough that we have cornmeal."
"Mom, why did that old man lend us grain?"
Jia Dongxu was completely bewildered.
When we first entered the new society, everyone was very poor.
Many people are still starving, and most families don't even have enough to eat for themselves, so how could they possibly lend out grain?
"Why do you care so much?"
"If he dares to borrow it, we dare to take it back. Hurry up and cook!"
Jia Zhangshi lay down on the bed.
We're just waiting for dinner.
Thousands of families.
"Ping An, you were absolutely amazing just now!"
“The four of them—the eldest uncle, the second eldest uncle, the third eldest uncle, and the deaf old lady—are no match for you.”
"And that idiot Zhu, he's such an idiot."
“In our village, if he listened to others but not his father, his father would definitely break his legs.”
Just got home.
Qin Huairu chattered excitedly, showing great admiration for Wan Ping'an.
for a long time.
Qin Huairu finally calmed down.
"There's another good show tonight, do you believe it or not?"
Wan Ping'an said with a smile.
"What's the show?"
Qin Huairu was completely bewildered.
"Given Jia Zhangshi's personality, she certainly wouldn't swallow this insult."
"I reckon she'll come for revenge tonight."
Wan Ping'an is 100% certain.
This is not just baseless speculation.
If she was provoked during the day, she would seek revenge at night; Jia Zhangshi had done this several times.
Either break the glass.
Either throw manure at them.
Or steal things.
In short, it's a disgusting tactic.
"What are you going to do?"
Qin Huairu was a little excited.
We'll see Wan Ping'an make a move again.
"Of course we should teach her a lesson."
A cold glint flashed in Wan Ping'an's eyes; one should not be polite to beasts.
dinner.
The two ate another chicken.
