Chapter 170

"What's cured meat? Didn't you see that net bag of apples! That's the rare good stuff!"

"Cao Weiguo has great ability, even apples can be bought."

"It's a pity that this Cao Weiguo didn't become a relative of our family!"

"It's because you were hesitant, otherwise I would be Cao Weiguo's brother-in-law!"

The neighbors in the courtyard were filled with mixed feelings, and many regretted wanting to hit the wall.

In the past, they looked down on Cao Weiguo and weren't willing to introduce suitable girls.

Who would have thought Cao Weiguo would suddenly become successful!

By the time they wanted to become relatives, he had already married a wife.

The Third Uncle sighed: "Missed a good relative!"

If Yu Haitang's vision hadn't been too high, this Cao Weiguo would definitely have taken a fancy to Yu Haitang.

After all, Yu Haitang's appearance was obvious!

It's a pity Yu Haitang didn't have this blessing and didn't look down on Cao Weiguo at the time.

Otherwise, Cao Weiguo would be a relative of his own family.

This cart of good things would have had a share for his own family.

The Second Uncle looked at the cured meat and felt unhappy: "Having cured meat and not giving it to me, this is not putting me, the Second Uncle, in his eyes."

Before, he had asked Cao Weiguo to get some smoked meat.

But there had been no news, and he had gone to his door to urge him.

But early in the morning, Cao Weiguo took a strip of cured meat to see his father-in-law.

This situation made the Second Uncle feel very uncomfortable.

That bright red cured meat was even rarer than smoked meat.

If this were sent to a leader, the leader would definitely like it.

It's hateful that this Cao Weiguo doesn't have him, the Second Uncle, in his eyes!

Wasting a great strip of cured meat for nothing!

Qin Huairu, who was stewing fish soup for Banggeng, was also full of discomfort.

Cao Weiguo is living so well, why doesn't he know how to help her.

Banggeng's leg is broken, and it's the time when he needs nutrition.

If that cured meat, duck eggs, and apples were given to Banggeng to eat, Banggeng's leg would definitely heal quickly.

Jia Zhangshi said venomously: "This heartless beast, sooner or later he will be hit by a car when he goes out!"

If Cao Weiguo hadn't caused trouble yesterday, those residents wouldn't have taken back the donated money.

Besides paying for Banggeng's medical expenses, that money was also the retirement money she had her eyes on.

As a result, because of Cao Weiguo's interference, it ended up in a mess.

Not only did the residents not donate money, but they also gave her cold looks.

Although the medical expenses were finally collected, the money was borrowed from the Eldest Uncle.

And an IOU was written, so it had to be paid back sooner or later.

The Eldest Uncle is not easy to mess with; if the money isn't paid back, who knows how he will toss them around.

Because of Cao Weiguo's interference, the Jia family was burdened with debt for nothing.

Even if the money was paid back by Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu's money is the Jia family's money.

The Jia family's money is her retirement money!

Calculating this, Jia Zhangshi hated Cao Weiguo to the bone.

Jia Zhangshi smelled the fragrance of the chicken soup and asked with green eyes: "Is the chicken soup stewed?"

Qin Huairu said: "It'll be ready soon."

Jia Zhangshi walked over with a bowl and snatched the spoon.

"Mom! This is to nourish Banggeng's body!"

Watching Jia Zhangshi scoop out a few spoonfuls of chicken, Qin Huairu's eyes turned red with anxiety.

Jia Zhangshi said: "How much can a child like Banggeng eat."

After speaking, Jia Zhangshi scooped another spoonful of chicken.

Huaihua ran over greedily: "Mom! Grandma! Huaihua wants to eat chicken!"

"Get lost, what chicken is a money-losing goods eating!"

Jia Zhangshi, who was holding back anger, walked straight forward and bumped Huaihua to the ground.

"Sob sob sob!"

Huaihua sat on the ground crying, Qin Huairu said angrily: "Mom, why did you bump Huaihua!"

Jia Zhangshi said barbarically: "Who told her not to open her eyes and insist on blocking my way."

Then, Jia Zhangshi shouted fiercely at Huaihua: "Little money-losing goods, don't cry, if you cry again, I'll sell you."

Huaihua was instantly scared pale, closed her mouth in fear, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

Xiaodang shrank into a corner, fearing being noticed by Jia Zhangshi.

Qin Huairu helped Huaihua up: "Huaihua, don't cry, I'll scoop you some chicken soup."

After speaking, Qin Huairu scooped out a bowl of chicken soup with a spoon.

A bowl of soup without a single piece of meat.

This meat still had to be prioritized for Banggeng to eat.

Huaihua said pitifully: "Mom! I want to eat meat!"

Qin Huairu said: "Huaihua, brother is injured and needs nutrition, the meat must be left for brother to nourish his body."

Huaihua said: "I'll just eat one piece!"

Jia Zhangshi cursed: "Eat, eat, eat! Your brother is hospitalized, and you still want to snatch food, you really are an ungrateful white-eyed wolf!"

Qin Huairu said: "Good Huaihua, when brother's injury is healed, Mom will stew chicken for you again."

Scolded by Jia Zhangshi, Huaihua was too scared to speak again and could only nod in grievance.

Qin Huairu is dutiful to all three children, but it's hard to avoid favoring boys over girls.

Banggeng is the only seedling of the Jia family and also her son.

As the saying goes, raise sons to prevent old age!

Qin Huairu can be said to have pinned all her future on Banggeng.

The reason she endured Jia Zhangshi's harshness without leaving.

A large part of the reason was because of Banggeng.

For her son (Banggeng), Qin Huairu could give up her own happiness.

As for Huaihua and Xiaodang, she loved them equally.

But daughters will always be married off, and she didn't think two daughters could support her in her old age.

Even though she herself is a woman, she couldn't get rid of the unequal concept of favoring boys over girls.

If she had the conditions, she would also let Huaihua and Xiaodang eat and wear well.

But the conditions were limited, so she could only prioritize Banggeng.

Huaihua carried the chicken soup to the corner and drank it slurping.

Xiaodang hid in the corner, alone in grievance and sadness.

Huaihua is young and doesn't understand things.

But Xiaodang is already in school and understands things, knowing her position at home.

She was afraid of being scolded by grandma and also had self-esteem.

So even if she was greedy, she wouldn't go and ask for chicken soup.

But this self-esteem and fear had unknowingly turned into resentment and taken root in her heart.

Parents not being kind and children not being filial doesn't only exist in the Liu family where children are beaten and scolded.

Parents' partiality and indulgence are also a kind of harm!
