Sha Zhu, who had inhaled a mouthful of exhaust fumes, returned to Deaf Old Lady’s room and hit the wall in anger: \"Cao Cao Weiguo, you shameless villain! I will not coexist with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deaf Old Lady looked at the obsessed Sha Zhu and sighed, shaking her head: \"Sigh! Why bother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yi Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Xu Damou, Yan Yan Jiecheng, and others returned to the courtyard and heard that the factory had assigned Cao Cao Weiguo a car, it was as if they had chewed on a crate of lemons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should Cao Cao Weiguo be assigned a car!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does he have more of?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Haizhong paced around his room in jealousy: \"Abominable! The factory director is truly blind! Isn't Cao Cao Weiguo just good at bootlicking, good at cooking, and able to get some local specialties from the countryside? What does that count for? Does he have as much seniority as I do! Has he made as many contributions to the factory as I have! Does he have as high a level of consciousness as I do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Guangtian looked at the indignant Liu Haizhong and sneered disdainfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Liu Guangfu took a bite of a cucumber and said with a cheeky smile: \"Dad, eat a cucumber. This cucumber is really crisp.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good-for-nothing thing, only knowing how to eat. I think you look like a cucumber!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Haizhong was full of anger with nowhere to vent, so he raised his hand and slapped Liu Liu Guangfu on the back of the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Liu Guangfu looked aggrieved: \"Dad! Why are you hitting me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Haizhong was furious: \"Does a father need a reason to hit his son! Good-for-nothing thing! I get angry just looking at you! Looking for a beating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the commotion from the Liu house, Xu Damou couldn't help but pity the Liu brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Haizhong only did three things at home: eat, sleep, and beat his sons. It was truly not easy for the Liu brothers to grow up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been someone with a weaker constitution, they would have been reincarnated long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He He Wenjie placed a plate of stir-fried potatoes and meat on the table: \"The dishes are ready, let’s eat. Rui, stop playing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beep beep beep!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rui made steering wheel movements with her hands and ran over, going \"beep beep beep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He He Wenjie smiled and poked Xu Rui’s forehead: \"Stop beeping, go wash your hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rui said lively: \"Mom! I sat in a car today. It was so good, so good. When I grow up, I want to drive a car too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He He Wenjie: \"What kind of car does a girl drive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rui tilted her face up: \"Why can't a girl drive a car? I want to drive a car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Damou dotingly rubbed Xu Rui’s head: \"Good, good, good, daughter, Dad will definitely let you drive a car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Rui jumped for joy: \"Dad is the best!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He He Wenjie complained: \"You just spoil her. She’s getting naughtier and naughtier, running and playing wildly all day. She doesn't look like a girl at all, just a total tomboy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Damou laughed: \"What tomboy? My daughter is called lively and cute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After marrying He He Wenjie, the thing Xu Damou was happiest about wasn't having a wife, but having a sensible and cute daughter. He doted on this daughter in every way, even more than if she were his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Middle Courtyard\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng kicked over a chair in anger, jumping up and down and making a scene: \"I’m so angry, I’m so angry! Damned Cao Cao Weiguo! Damned Li He! Damned Li Chuan! I’ll make you pay sooner or later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu ignored him and cooked, while Xiao Dang said excitedly on the side: \"Mom! I sat in a car today! Have you sat in a car? There are so many things inside, things I’ve never even seen before. Mom, when can our family have a car? I want to sit in a car every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Huaihua bit her thumb on the side and chimed in: \"Little Huaihua also wants to sit in a car every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu smiled and rubbed the heads of her two daughters: \"What are you two little girls thinking about? A car isn't something you can just sit in whenever you want. If you want to sit in a car, you have to be successful. When you’re successful and grow up, you can sit in a car every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Huaihua said in a milky voice: \"Little Huaihua wants to be successful, Little Huaihua wants to sit in a car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng said angrily: \"Bragging! Little Huaihua, you’re really shameless! The most successful person in our family is me! The one who will sit in a car in the future will definitely be me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu said with a straight face: \"You still have the nerve to say that. Look at yourself, where are you successful? Tell me, why did you go push Li Chuan for no reason? Li Chuan is only nine years old, and you have the nerve to bully him? Aren't you ashamed? It serves you right that his brother beat you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng said indignantly: \"Mom! Li He hit me, and it’s one thing that you don't help me get revenge, but why are you siding with outsiders? I’m going to tell Grandma, Grandma will definitely stand up for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu’s face turned pale with anger: \"Heartless thing, in your heart, only your grandma is good to you, right? Who cooks for you, who makes your clothes, who raised you with shit and urine? I’m siding with outsiders? Bang Geng, what qualifications do you have to say that? When will you ever be sensible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not sensible, only Xiao Dang and Little Huaihua are sensible. You’re biased, I hate you, I don't want you to manage me anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng was so angry he flipped the table, ran out of the room with tears in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the overturned table, the steamed buns and chopsticks on the floor, the broken plates... Qin Qin Huairu felt an indescribable pain in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang Geng actually said she was biased?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was biased; when there was good food at home, she gave it to Bang Geng first, and when there was money, she made new clothes for Bang Geng first...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She worked hard to support the family, thinking of him in every way, so how did she end up with this result?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wuwuwu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt, the more aggrieved she felt, and Qin Qin Huairu couldn't help but cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she was crying from the bottom of her heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu walked in with a plate of stir-fried eggs. Seeing Qin Qin Huairu crying, he was as anxious as if he were on fire, flustered and confused: \"Sister Qin, what’s wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, I’ll go get revenge for you? Right, is it because Bang Geng got beaten! Don't cry, I’ll go beat Li He right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu wiped the corner of her eye: \"Zhu, don't be impulsive. It’s not Li He, it’s Bang Geng. He blamed me for not getting revenge for him and said I was siding with outsiders. I feel terrible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu was immediately furious: \"Hey! This brat is really heartless! Where did he go? I have to give him a kick. How can he, as a son, say that about his own mother? It’s simply unfilial!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu hurriedly said: \"Zhu, what are you doing! Bang Geng is still young, he’s still a child. He was just saying that in anger. You’re not allowed to hit him. If you dare to hit him, don't ever enter my house again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu paused, smiled awkwardly: \"Sister Qin, look at you, I was just saying that, why did you take it seriously? How could I bear to hit Bang Geng? I treat him like my own son. I wouldn't even bear to hit myself, let alone him. Sister Qin, don't be sad anymore. I stir-fried some eggs, thinking your family’s food hasn't been good lately, so I specially brought you a plate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu wiped the corner of her eye and reached out to take the stir-fried eggs: \"Thank you, Zhu. You’re not well-off yourself, yet you still think about taking care of my family. I really don't know how to repay you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu smiled honestly: \"Sister Qin, look at you, we’re family, why talk about repaying? What repaying or not repaying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: \"Zhu, Bang Geng flipped the table, I need to hurry and clean it up, so I won't keep you. Come visit again when you have time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1501,"2026-06-16T08:10:16.781Z","2026-06-16T08:22:08.249Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","046f6e27458d7ef9ea60de1eeaff8b2b3809a991d5e849c8f0b6554a9ddf8fcf","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-709","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-707",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-good-life-cover.jpg"]
