Chapter 629

Jia Zhangshi's old face blossomed with smiles.

The big fish and meat swept away the gloom on her face.

Regarding the unclear relationship between Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai,

Jia Zhangshi talked tough, but she didn't really care much in her heart.

As long as Qin Huairu could serve her with good food and drink,

and obediently provide for her old age and burial,

and not let her suffer hardship or fatigue,

Qin Huairu could do whatever she wanted.

And so, Qin Huairu placed the steamed carp on the table.

Jia Zhangshi immediately called her a good daughter-in-law with every bite.

Qin Jingru handed over a dime.

Only then was she permitted to sit at the table.

Eating the fish Qin Huairu brought back,

she felt an indescribable envy.

The benefits for workers were just too good.

For a holiday, one could receive fish, receive meat...

This was something one wouldn't even dare to imagine in the countryside.

Let alone receiving fish or meat,

if you didn't hand in the public grain on time, you'd be criticized lightly, and if it were serious...

Eating the fragrant fish and meat,

Qin Jingru made up her mind that she would never go back to farming even if she died.

She would rather stay in the city sweeping streets or cleaning out cesspits,

than ever go back to the countryside to dig the earth as a farmer.

"Eat a few pieces to satisfy your craving and that's enough!"

"You handed over a dime and you want to eat the whole fish!"

"Aren't you ashamed!"

Jia Zhangshi knocked away the chopsticks Qin Jingru was using to pick up fish.

This made Qin Jingru glare in anger.

But when one is under someone else's roof, one has to bow one's head.

Even if she was angry in her heart, Qin Jingru had to endure it.

"Jingru!"

"Is Jingru home?"

At this moment, Xu Damao called out from outside.

Qin Jingru looked up and answered: "I'm here!"

Xu Damao said in the courtyard: "Jingru, I don't know how to cook."

"Can you come to my place and help me stew a pot of fish?"

It wasn't that Xu Damao didn't know how to cook.

This was just an excuse to hook up with Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru didn't want to suffer in the Jia house either.

She readily agreed to Xu Damao:

"Okay! I'm good at stewing fish!"

Qin Jingru stood up happily and went out the door.

She followed Xu Damao to the backyard.

Jia Zhangshi spat: "Little vixen, as soon as she gets to the city, she starts hooking up with men!"

Qin Huairu said: "Mom! That sounds too ugly, don't let Qin Jingru hear you."

Jia Zhangshi said arrogantly: "If she hears, she hears! Do you think I'm afraid of her!"

Qin Huairu took a bite of fish: "I know you aren't afraid of her."

"But you also have to look at the long term."

"This Xu Damao has taken a fancy to Jingru."

"If the two of them get together,"

"we'll be living in the same courtyard from now on."

"It's not like you don't know how wealthy Xu Damao's family is."

"If Jingru marries Xu Damao,"

"then we'll be relatives and neighbors who see each other every day."

"If you give her a few more smiles,"

"and build a good relationship,"

"won't she be able to support our family in the future?"

Jia Zhangshi perked up upon hearing this: "What you say actually makes sense."

"I didn't expect this little vixen to have some tricks up her sleeve."

"She bewitched Xu Damao as soon as she arrived."

"Xu Damao's job as a projectionist is a lucrative one."

"If our family becomes relatives with Xu Damao,"

"then our family will be able to benefit quite a bit in the future." ===== CHAPTER 631 =====
