Chapter 61 Qin Huairu is pregnant again
It was almost the end of 54 when Qin Huairu suddenly showed signs of pregnancy again.
After her hospital visit, she confirmed that she was pregnant again.
Now that Banggeng is two years old, Qin Huairu's pregnancy has naturally made Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu quite overjoyed.
The gloom of the past two years has finally been dispelled, and the Jia family is now the worst off in the courtyard.
Even if other families are struggling financially, at least they are not like the Jia family, who rely on 180,000 apprentices to support their entire extended family.
Based on the standard of 50,000 yuan per person per month, the Jia family of four actually meets the city's minimum income standard.
However, Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, and Banggeng all had rural household registrations. They were not included in the Jia family's statistical data, because Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu coveted some of the village's grain subsidies.
However, He Yuzhu recently reminded Qin Huairu to quickly transfer her household registration to the city.
Qin Huairu listened to He Yuzhu and went to the street office on her own initiative without consulting Jia Zhangshi.
During this period, obtaining urban household registration was relatively simple. Not only could women easily obtain urban household registration, but their children would also automatically obtain urban household registration.
By the time she got her household registration sorted out, Jia Zhangshi was unaware of this situation.
After that, the urban quota was reduced, and only Jia Zhangshi from the Jia family was exempt from the quota.
Although He Yuzhu would not help the Jia family, he did not want to put Qin Huairu in a difficult position.
With household registration and a fixed quota, the Jia family's life would no longer be so difficult.
Qin Huairu wouldn't discuss it with Jia Zhangshi, because the other party definitely wouldn't agree.
According to Jia Zhangshi's idea, rural residents could rent out their land, and after paying 40 percent of the village's annual grain harvest, they would keep 60 percent of it.
Even if only half of that 60% is given out, that would still be a source of income.
This is also why Jia Zhangshi can sit at home and enjoy her life without working.
She didn't feel that her son was supporting her; on the contrary, she used her food to support the whole family.
As for the grain that Qin Huairu brought back, Jia Zhangshi pretended not to see it. In any case, Qin Huairu was definitely supported by the Jia family; otherwise, how could a country girl live such a good life in the city?
Jia Zhangshi is the kind of person who never sees the efforts of others and only thinks that everything is earned for the family by her hard work.
If Qin Huairu hadn't married her son, she would have been stuck in the village, living her whole life as a village woman.
This is also a phrase that Jia Zhangshi often used to attack Qin Huairu, or rather, Jia Zhangshi instinctively knew how to manipulate the other party.
If Qin Huairu hadn't been with He Yuzhu, she probably would have been slowly brainwashed by Jia Zhangshi. Now, she's completely different; on the contrary, she understands Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu much more clearly now.
However, due to the current circumstances, Qin Huairu had no choice but to stay in the Jia family.
Qin Huairu stayed with the Jia family, but her heart was definitely with the He family.
He Yuzhu has given her so much, so she doesn't have to worry about the future at all.
Women are calculating because they lack a sense of security. This is also why Qin Huairu leeches off Sha Zhu; if she doesn't take everything to her own home, she worries about being trapped in a desperate situation later.
He Yuzhu has now prepared a house, a car, a watch for her, and a monthly allowance of 100,000 yuan for her, which has solved all her worries.
Qin Huairu has a very healthy mindset now, and no matter what unexpected things happen to the Jia family, it won't affect her much.
Qin Huairu was in a state of indifference and lack of desire in the Jia family, so the amount of Jia Dongxu's salary had little impact on her.
Bang Geng was also secretly fed some delicious food by Qin Huairu, so he was not lacking in nutrition.
For Qin Huairu's sake, He Yuzhu specially made some cooked meat into jerky and meat strips. After drying them in the space, she could replenish her nutrition at any time.
Besides eating some herself, Qin Huairu would also hide some for Bang Geng to eat.
Bang Geng was also told by Qin Huairu not to tell his grandmother and father. The boy was smart and never showed it.
He Yuzhu was very happy to learn that Qin Huairu was pregnant.
According to Qin Huairu's calculations, nothing unusual happened between her and Jia Dongxu during those days.
He spent most of his time in the courtyard, and He Yuzhu felt that Qin Huairu wouldn't try to fool him with that.
He Yuzhu knew quite a bit about her relationship with Jia Dongxu.
I wouldn't say it happens less than once a month, but it certainly doesn't happen more often.
Especially during the few days each month when a woman is most likely to conceive, Qin Huairu was extremely wary of Jia Dongxu, but opened her heart to men instead.
Qin Huairu said that if you want to have a child for a man, you have to do it. The Jia family will definitely not have any more children. Jia Dongxu is not worthy.
Qin Huairu sometimes wanted to laugh. Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi called He Yuzhu "Silly Zhu" all the time, but they were the real fools.
Despite the significant changes in her appearance, neither Jia Zhangshi nor Jia Dongxu could detect them at all.
She has been married into the Jia family for more than three years and has only had two sets of clothes made for her.
Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu had clothes made twice, but neither of them asked Qin Huairu about it.
They would only hand the cloth to Qin Huairu and ask her to make clothes for them. They completely ignored whether Qin Huairu had any clothes to wear.
The key point is that Qin Huairu's clothes had never been patched, and neither of them suspected anything. It has to be said that Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu were quite careless.
Qin Huairu was still a little worried and only dared to make new clothes in the same color as her old clothes.
Later, she secretly changed to a slightly different color, but the two of them still couldn't tell.
Now the color of her clothes is different from the original. Since both of them are idiots, why should she wrong herself?
It wasn't that Jia Zhangshi hadn't noticed; she just assumed it was Qin Huairu's hidden savings.
After all, when Qin Huairu first married into the Jia family, she received 150,000 yuan a month for household expenses.
The family can now make 100,000 yuan last until the end of the month, which gives you an idea of how much money Qin Huairu had hidden away.
Jia Zhangshi became increasingly reluctant to give Qin Huairu any money, wishing that all of Qin Huairu's private savings would be used to supplement the family income.
Jia Zhangshi completely forgot that when she was in charge of the household, she couldn't even make ends meet with 200,000 a month.
Back then, they often complained that Jia Dongxu didn't earn enough money and hoped that he would become a master chef soon so that their family could be better off.
Jia Dongxu genuinely didn't remember, mainly because he noticed that Qin Huairu always wore complete clothes every day.
Naturally, they wouldn't make new clothes for Qin Huairu, so the three of them, each with their own thoughts, didn't take the matter to heart.
Qin Huairu was overjoyed that they would never remember, so she could keep wearing new clothes.
He Yuzhu knew that Qin Huairu was pregnant, so he would definitely store a lot of food for her in the courtyard.
Qin Huairu can come over and cook herself, or He Yuzhu can come over at noon to cook something delicious for her.
When Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu learned that Qin Huairu was pregnant, they were so happy that the Jia family had a second grandson that no one thought about supplementing Qin Huairu's nutrition.
Even with her grandson Banggeng, whom Jia Zhangshi kept mentioning, she would only hug him occasionally and didn't do anything else.
Regarding Banggeng's education, He Yuzhu had instructed Qin Huairu not to spoil the child.
She was also told to be careful not to let Bang Geng learn those bad things from Jia Zhangshi.
He Yuzhu has been thinking about how to deal with Jia Zhangshi recently, and getting rid of her is the best option.
However, this requires Jia Dongxu to intervene; otherwise, if the son is unwilling, Jia Zhangshi will not need to return.
As long as Jia Dongxu doesn't utter a word, even if Qin Huairu brings it up, it seems to have no effect other than getting beaten up.
But if Jia Zhangshi is left here, it doesn't matter if Banggeng doesn't learn bad habits, Qin Huairu's second child will also follow suit and become bad.
He Yuzhu didn't want his child to be led astray by Jia Zhangshi, so for his child's sake, Jia Zhangshi had to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Even Bang Geng, who is still young, has not shown any signs of being a bad kid so far, thanks to Qin Huairu's strict discipline.
However, we cannot let Jia Zhangshi continue to stay in the courtyard, otherwise even the best child will go astray if he listens to Jia Zhangshi's words every day.
Every year, the residents of the courtyard buy vegetables for winter storage. The entire courtyard has more than 20 households, and each family stores several hundred kilograms of vegetables in the cellar.
There's a cellar in the front yard and another in the back yard, but there's no cellar in the middle yard, so the vegetables from the families in the middle yard are also stored in the cellar in the back yard, along with those in the back yard.
People usually take their vegetables from the cellar, and each family has their own designated spot, so there's nothing wrong with that.
A few days ago, Qin Huairu told He Yuzhu that Jia Zhangshi of the Jia family only gave her 50,000 yuan, calculated at 200 yuan per jin of potatoes and 200 yuan per jin of cabbage.
For 50,000 yuan, they bought 100 jin of potatoes, 100 jin of cabbage, and 50 jin of radishes.
Not to mention Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu also has a huge appetite. Even He Yuzhu's family of two had Ma San buy them 100,000 yuan worth of winter vegetables.
The two hundred-plus jin of vegetables that the Jia family bought were far from enough for them.
Each time, Jia Zhangshi would bring up three or four large cabbages, each cabbage weighing five or six jin (approximately 2.5-3 catties). In one meal, the Jia family would prepare more than ten jin (approximately 5 kg) of vegetables.
The 200-plus kilograms of vegetables only took about ten days to grow, and it's been almost two months since mid-October.
He Yuzhu had already calculated for the Jia family that their vegetables should have been finished long ago. Since the Jia family hadn't bought any vegetables, the vegetables they were eating weren't their own.
However, apart from He Yuzhu's family's winter vegetables stored in the side room, about ten other families stored their vegetables in the backyard cellar.
Jia Zhangshi was very cunning; instead of just taking food from one family, she took turns taking vegetables from other people's homes every day.
This is also why, even though the Jia family had been taking the money for over a month, no one had noticed anything amiss.
He Yuzhu continued to monitor the situation, planning to detonate the bomb before the Lunar New Year.
We'll either drive Jia Zhangshi away all at once, or we'll arrest her and make her stay in jail.
Every time Qin Huairu saw He Yuzhu, she would tell him how much food her family had eaten recently.
Qin Huairu was more than willing to accept He Yuzhu's scheme to drive Jia Zhangshi away.
If the Jia family didn't have the old hag, her life would be much more comfortable.
From the moment she married into the Jia family, Qin Huairu never had a single day of peace there. The old matriarch was lazy and gluttonous, and frequently berated and beat people without cause; Qin Huairu had hated her for a long time.
