Chapter 75: Qin Huairu Wants White Rabbit Creamy Candy

It wasn't just the Liu brothers; many others who couldn't stand Jia Dongxu and Bang Geng also took advantage of the chaos to kick them a few more times, and the stick in Bang Geng's hand was even snapped by the stomping.

Qin Huairu, standing to the side, was also getting anxious; she was heavily pregnant and had a craving, so she couldn't squeeze into the crowd at all.

These hateful commoners, they didn't even know to make way for a pregnant woman; too selfish, pfft!

Then, Qin Huairu's mind turned, and she looked at Foolish Pillar, who was nearby, saying, "Pillar, I want to eat melon seeds too. Can you help me get some?"

Seeing Qin Huairu looking so aggrieved, Shazhu softened instantly, but setting aside his relationship with Zhao Gangzi, just considering his current physical condition, if he squeezed into that crowd, wouldn't he end up coughing up blood?

Shazhu was a fool, but he was only a fool for Qin Huairu, and he still had to consider his own circumstances.

"Sister Qin, I'm really sorry! Look at me now, I even need a cane to go out; I really can't help you," Shazhu said with a look of frustration, this also being the first time he had refused Qin Huairu.

Hearing Shazhu's reply, Qin Huairu's originally enthusiastic face drooped at a speed visible to the naked eye; men were all trash, and at critical moments, they were of no use at all.

Looking at Jia Dongxu and his son, let alone grabbing peanuts and melon seeds, it was a miracle they hadn't been kicked into internal injuries by others.

"Sigh, why is my life so bitter!"

Qin Huairu rubbed her belly and wiped the corner of her eye with her other hand, as if speaking to the child in her womb, "Mommy is sorry, I can't let you eat anything good; if you're born malnourished, please don't blame Mommy..."

Seeing the aggrieved look of the young woman in front of him, Shazhu felt a sudden sense of shame; as a man, he had actually let a woman cry in front of him.

I, Shazhu, am truly a piece of trash, I deserve to die!

On the other side, He Yushui, being a young girl, naturally didn't want to compete with a bunch of old men and women, so she went straight to Zhao Gangzi.

"Brother Gangzi, I want to eat some too," He Yushui also approached Zhao Gangzi, her big eyes blinking brightly.

"Eat what?"

Zhao Gangzi smiled.

"Ah? Melon seeds, of course. What else do you have?" He Yushui was a bit confused and didn't understand what Zhao Gangzi meant.

Zhao Gangzi didn't tease He Yushui anymore; after all, this little girl was much better than her brother. He reached into his pocket and pulled out several pieces of White Rabbit Creamy Candy.

"Thank you, Brother Gangzi! I wish you were my real brother; following you would guarantee a good life, much better than my foolish brother—he even has a bicycle now," He Yushui quickly took the candy, which immediately made many people jealous, as the half-bag of peanuts and melon seeds Zhao Gangzi had brought were already picked over, and one couldn't even see a candy wrapper.

This scene was also seen by Shazhu, and watching his sister turn her back on her own family, he was so angry he gnashed his teeth, his back molars nearly shattering.

Seeing that He Yushui had gotten White Rabbit Creamy Candy, Qin Huairu, standing to the side, was practically drooling; she had only ever seen such expensive things at the supply and marketing cooperative, let alone tasted them.

Even when Qin Huairu first entered the Jia Family, Jia Dongxu hadn't bought her a single piece.

Shazhu saw Qin Huairu's state out of the corner of his eye and realized she was craving it; his heart leaped with joy as he saw another chance to show off. He quickly called He Yushui over and grinned, "Good sister, I see that Zhao Gangzi gave you quite a bit of candy, hurry up and take a few to give to your Sister Qin to taste!"

Hearing Shazhu's words, Qin Huairu stared intently; she hadn't expected Shazhu to be so sensible.

But He Yushui wasn't happy; if Qin Huairu had asked herself, she might have given her a few, but Shazhu had upset her just yesterday, so there was no way she was giving away this candy.

"No, if you want to eat, go ask for it yourself, hmph," He Yushui curled her lip, clutched the candy, and walked away, not giving Shazhu a pleasant look at all.

This left Shazhu feeling awkward; even his own sister was starting to disobey him, and she had made him lose face in front of Qin Huairu.

And his thoughts were indeed correct; Qin Huairu was already despising Shazhu in her heart—what a useless piece of trash, she would have to do it herself.

Thinking she still had some charm, Qin Huairu walked straight up to Zhao Gangzi, sticking out her big belly and swaying her hips. Zhao Gangzi just took one look at her; he didn't like her normally, and now she dared to come and disgust him while sticking out that big belly?

But Qin Huairu didn't catch the meaning in Zhao Gangzi's eyes; she reached out to touch the bicycle first and said happily, "Gangzi, you're amazing! I knew you'd have a bright future; look, you've even got a bicycle!"

"Sigh, unlike me, my man has no ability, I'm stuck with a big belly, and even my mother-in-law is in prison," Qin Huairu sighed and continued her performance, "Gangzi, you can't bear to see me so pitiful, right? Actually, I'm not doing this for myself."

"I'm mainly doing it for the child in my belly; the child is innocent. I just want him to taste the sweetness of candy; if there really aren't any melon seeds or peanuts, that's fine too..."

Qin Huairu's schemes were practically spilling onto Zhao Gangzi's face.

With the relationship between the two families as it was, it was one thing for Jia Dongxu to go and scramble for melon seeds with others, but you actually dare to come and ask me for them yourself? Do you think I'd give them to you?

Zhao Gangzi: "It is quite pitiful, but unfortunately, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, I'm out of White Rabbit Creamy Candy; if you want melon seeds, go scramble for them with the others!"

Zhao Gangzi sneered, pointed his finger at the crowd acting like a pack of mad dogs, and then pushed his newly bought bicycle back to the Middle Courtyard.

Only Qin Huairu was left standing there, dumbfounded.

This person was too heartless! Clearly his family was so rich, was it really that hard to give a few pieces of candy? He was too stingy to give them; he deserved to never find a wife in his life, a barren wretch with no offspring!

Qin Huairu cursed Zhao Gangzi incessantly in her heart.

But at the same time, there was a deep sense of jealousy; why was his life so good? While she had to take care of the whole family, and even while pregnant, she had to cook for those mouths every day!

"Sigh, if only I could have married Zhao Gangzi," Qin Huairu muttered to herself with a bitter smile.

It was fortunate that Jia Dongxu hadn't heard these words, otherwise, even with her being pregnant, she wouldn't have escaped a sound beating.

Meanwhile, the crowd was still dividing up the snacks Zhao Gangzi had brought; the ones who grabbed the most were the families of the Second Uncle and the Third Uncle. Both families had many mouths to feed, and Yan Bugui had occupied the entrance from the start, seizing the advantage.

Yan Bugui's pockets were stuffed full, the Third Aunt had also grabbed two big handfuls, and his three sons hadn't gotten any less.

"Zhao Gangzi is truly getting wealthier; just this much stuff is worth at least five yuan!"

Yan Bugui's face was wrinkled in a smile; his little daughter, Yan Jiedi, had also managed to get a handful of White Rabbit Creamy Candy, and even after everyone in the family had one, there would still be two or three left.

And it was a name brand, that very expensive White Rabbit Creamy Candy; just one piece was worth several cents.
