Chapter 214

After Second Aunt had seen Jia Zhangshi's house, she couldn't sleep.

"Head of the household, I went to see Jia Zhangshi's house—it really changed a lot."

"Should we also renovate?"

Liu Hai Zhong said unhappily.

"What's there to decorate? Jia Zhangshi is just showing off wealth, that's why she spent money on decorating."

"She's just letting things go to ruin."

"What day is it now? It's a day of hard struggle. I am Er Da Ye; if I take the lead in extravagance, what will others think of us?"

"Your ideological awareness is insufficient."

"That's unacceptable."

Second Aunt still wanted to say something, but Er Da Ye shut her up with a single sentence.

"Besides, do you have money? Jia Zhangshi has two or three thousand saved inside, while our family—"

"How much is left? About a thousand; after spending over five hundred on the house, how much will remain?"

"What if something happens? What then?"

Second Aunt's indulgent mindset was suppressed by Er Da Ye.

Qin Huairu saw her mother-in-law's social circle reopen, and then understood why she was renovating.

After Bang Geng visited Jia Zhangshi's house once, he couldn't bring himself to leave.

He didn't say anything, just spending more and more time at Jia Zhangshi's place.

Xiao Dang followed once, but after being chased out by Jia Zhangshi, he couldn't forget her house.

"Mom, when will our family be able to live in such a nice house?"

Qin Huairu pinched the money she had saved over time, feeling an urge, but thinking of her family's situation, she pressed down her restless heart.

"Xiao Dang, our family can't compare to your grandmother's."

"Mom has no money; my salary only covers our meals."

"We can only wait for you to study hard and Earning Money, you Earning Money, our family can also decorate beautifully."

Hearing this, Xiao Dang excitedly raised his little fist: "Mom, I will study hard."

Qin Huairu smiled with relief.

Sha Zhu glanced at Jia Zhangshi's house and snorted.

"You're just messing around, showing off."

Living in the same courtyard, he naturally knows what happened.

Liu Shumin looked at her family's two main rooms, feeling a bit eager, but after looking at her family's money, she had to face reality.

There's no way around it; now only Sha Zhu earns money in her family, and she has to support both her natal family and her own, and Sha Zhu's previous savings are almost all squandered by her.

Now hearing Sha Zhu's muttering, she said unhappily.

"What are you muttering about for no reason?"

"Tell me, what can you do? A chef who just makes side dishes all day gets a level-eight wage."

"If you don't embarrass yourself, I'll still be embarrassed."

"And you still look down on Jia Zhangshi, who can afford to renovate—can you?"

"Besides being able to feed me, what else can you do?"

"Study, study—you don't study; earn money, earn money—you're just loafing around."

"I heard you're having conflicts with your supervisor again."

"Look at what you can do—why don't you go to heaven? Who do you think you are? You're just a cook; being able to make side dishes doesn't change that."

Sha Zhu was very unconvinced.

"What the hell is that supervisor? He can't do anything right, just top-notch at flattery."

"He orders me around all day and even gives me small shoes to wear."

"I'm telling you to change………"

Liu Shumin didn't let him finish, and launched a barrage of blows.

"I let you, I let you—you shameless wretch, who do you think you are? You stinking cook, what are you being arrogant about?"

Sha Zhu also got anxious.

"Liu Shumin, I'm telling you, if you keep calling me a stinking cook, I'll get angry."

Upon hearing him still dare to threaten her, Liu Shumin grabbed a feather duster and whipped.

"You make me anxious, you make me anxious?"

Sha Zhu can't be hit, can't be scolded.

Moreover, as her pregnancy progressed, Liu Shumin's temper also flared, often erupting for no apparent reason.

He Yuzhu could only flee the house with his head in his hands.

"A decent man doesn't fight women; I can't afford to provoke her, nor can I hide?"

Liang Ladi saw this, smiled, and greeted.

"Oh, Sha Zhu, kicked out again."

Sha Zhu may lose to a person but not to the situation, wearing an expression of 'you wouldn't understand'.

"Hey, how can that be called being kicked out? This is fighting is kissing, scolding is love—what couple doesn't quarrel?"

Liang Ladi gave him a thumbs up, then pushed her cart and prepared to go out.

Only then did Sha Zhu notice Liang Ladi's bicycle.

"Hey, Liang Ladi, you bought a bike?"

He said while turning around.

Yo, brand new, Liang Ladi, you're quite wealthy.

Is it 180?

Liang Ladi slapped the handlebar.

It's manganese steel, 186, exchanged for ten industrial coupons.

Sha Zhu was so envious he couldn't stand it; he also wanted it, but he was really short on money.

This is indeed a good thing; in our courtyard, this is the only scorpion cake.

Liang Ladi still had something to do, she waved at him.

Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore; I have things to do, I'm leaving first.

After saying that, she went out.

Sha Zhu clicked his tongue in amazement.

You say, Qin Huairu and Liang Ladi, both are widows, why is the difference so huge?

After saying that, he also walked out.

These days, he prefers to stay outside, because Liu Shumin is really inexplicable.

San Da Ye, tending to his own vegetable rack, watched Liang Ladi walk by, muttering to himself.

Is this Liang Ladi really that rich? She even bought a car.

Fourth-level worker, indeed impressive.

He was also envious to the point of impossibility.

Yu Li helped with the chores.

Dad, is Liang Ladi really that wealthy?

San Da Ye nodded.

That's a fourth-level female welder; there aren't many like that in the whole Jingcheng.

Generally speaking, for a female worker to reach level five is already heavenly, requiring decades of effort; Liang Ladi is so young, she's already a level-four worker, and reaching level six in the future is not impossible.

She, a woman, is worth two men; you should learn from her.

Yu Li was silenced by a few words from San Da Ye; in this household, if you can't earn money, you have no say.

Even if she earns money, she still has no say, because the more she earns, the more she has to pay; her parents-in-law always find a way to take her money.

Even now, she still has to live by relying on others.

Envious of Qin Huairu's day; when will our family also be able to split off?

Li Da Xiong these days has been working on the construction crew; because Yang Qing's long-term rental project is progressing smoothly, the workload of the street construction crew has also risen linearly; he remembers Yang Qing's words, seize a deadlock, the effect is very obvious; he went from odd jobs to becoming a temporary worker; if the long-term rental project continues to develop, his chances of becoming permanent are very high.

Moreover, as his work stabilized, he also started to have some money; his skinny body gradually gained muscle.

As soon as he went out, he saw Yu Li; because the weather warmed up and she wore less, her figure became even more prominent.

He couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

Yan Fu Gui saw his piggy brother look, and his face immediately turned cold.

What are you looking at, you little bastard; be careful I'll gouge out your eyes.

Li Da Xiong, feeling guilty, withdrew his gaze, then shrank back, didn't dare to speak, and fled in disgrace.

San Da Ye, seeing this, spat.

Damn thing.

In this big courtyard, the most disliked are Yang Qing and his family; everyone else is an orphan.

However, because Yang Qing used to be the main target, Li Da Xiong has still managed to get by.

Moreover, they originally had parents too; it's only been a few years since their parents passed away.
