Chapter 352 Jia Zhang's helplessness and self-reliance
After hearing Qin Huairu's words and seeing her so calm, Jia Zhang panicked. She didn't know if what Qin Huairu said was true, but it seemed to be true, and her household registration was indeed with Yi Zhonghai, so her momentum suddenly weakened.
"Huai Ru, don't blame mom. There is nothing I can do. That old man Yi Zhonghai doesn't care about me anymore. What should I do? Please, help me. I really have no money. I don't know where to eat tomorrow. For the sake of our past friendship, please help me and just give me some food." Jia Zhang pleaded.
"Mom? What kind of mom are you?" Qin Huairu vented, "You are the daughter-in-law of the Yi family, not the mother of my Jia family. You old fool, you deserve this. I raised you for most of my life, but I couldn't warm your heart as hard as a rock. You still have the nerve to talk about kindness? If you hadn't taught Bang Geng bad things, would he have ended up like that? If you hadn't been unable to keep it, Xiaodang and Yi Zhien would have been together. You deserve this. You want to eat my food? You're dreaming. I'm not cooking now. I eat in the cafeteria every day."
Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhang was filled with rage, but she couldn't vent it out. She felt extremely uncomfortable. "Huairu, please, don't look at the gold face, look at the Buddha face. After all, I am Dongxu's mother. If I starve to death, how will you explain to Dongxu in the future?"
"Puchi!" Qin Huairu couldn't help laughing.
"why are you laughing?"
"What am I laughing at? Should I give an explanation to Jia Dongxu?" Qin Huairu sneered. "What kind of explanation should I give to him? I'm not even going to ask him for an explanation. The damn short-lived ghost has really screwed me over. To tell you the truth, I regret it so much now. If I could go back to the past, I would rather marry an old widower in the village than marry into your Jia family. As for your family, the mother-in-law is not a human being. She can't do anything except eat. She's full of bad intentions. The son is a coward. Apart from being good-looking, he can't do anything. Tell me why I was blinded by shit and ended up marrying into your family?"
"Huai Ru, you can't say that. If you hadn't married into my Jia family, could you have lived the life you have now?" Jia Zhang asked.
"Bullshit, how pretty was I back then?" Qin Huairu said, "If it weren't for you, an old fool, obstructing me, I would have married Sha Zhu long ago, and I'm the boss lady now."
"No, when did I stop you?" Jia Zhang denied.
"Get out of here right now and don't hang around in front of me. I don't want to talk to you," Qin Huairu said irritably. Even now, she still felt irritated when she thought of Sha Zhu.
"Huai Ru, do you really want to do this to me?" Feeling that her plea was hopeless, Jia Zhang threatened again.
"You can think of any tricks you want. Do you think I'm afraid of you? The worst that can happen is death, but I will take you with me before I die." Qin Huairu threatened.
Seeing Qin Huairu's resolute expression, Jia Zhang's heart sank. She knew that her plan with Qin Huairu was basically hopeless.
So, she didn't say another word to you and went home to wait for Yi Zhonghai. She had to find a way to make a living today no matter what.
……
Just like that, time soon came to evening. After finishing his meal, Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard leisurely. Now he had completely let it go. Death was a matter for the future. Now he just wanted to live a good life and stop thinking about those tiring things.
As soon as I entered the door, Jia Zhang came to greet me with a smile, looking like a good wife and mother.
"Old Yi, you're back! Come and sit down. I'll pour you some water."
"Hmm?" Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang and said bluntly, "Don't, Jia Zhang, don't be like this. I get goosebumps when I see you like this. Just tell me what you have to say. I know you very well. I will definitely feel uncomfortable if you smile. Just tell me what you have to say. Don't pretend to be a good person."
"Old Yi, what are you talking about? We are a couple," Jia Zhang said. "I have been thinking about this for a few days. We can't go on like this. We stay in the same room all day without saying a word. Are we still a couple? We will be laughed at by others if we see us again."
"Ms. Jia Zhang, don't say these useless things. You know very well how you married me. It's impossible for me to be a real couple with you. Just tell me what you want to do. Your tricks are useless in front of me." Yi Zhonghai reminded.
Hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Jia Zhang stopped pretending to be a good wife and mother and pretended to be pitiful. "Old Yi, I know what I did was wrong, but since it has come to this, we should just make do with it. You see, I'm getting skinny from starvation recently. You can't just watch me starve, or else it will get out and your reputation will be bad."
"Reputation?" Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, "Do you think I have a reputation? Jia Zhang, don't talk about this. I have figured out that you just want me to support you, right?"
"Yes, how about it? We can live together. I will cook for you at home and come back to serve you, just like Li Fengjuan." Jia Zhang said.
"Don't even think about it. You are not even as good as Fengjuan's toes. There is no way I can live with you. What's more, I don't have the money to support you. I work outside and eat day by day. Where can I get the extra money?" Yi Zhonghai refused.
"You have no money? Who would believe that?"
"Believe it or not, I am working for others to earn a living," Yi Zhonghai said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu doesn't care about you anymore, right? I advise you to change and stop waiting for others to feed you all day. You have been acting like an ancestor since Dongxu got married. It has been decades, and you have enjoyed all the happiness you should have. It is time for you to support yourself and stop expecting others to support you."
"Old Yi, I want to do it too! But I'm so old and an old woman. How can you ask me to do anything for you?" Jia Zhang said bitterly.
"Let me show you a way. Recently, I've seen a lot of people picking up garbage on the street and selling it for money. Most of them are old ladies and old men. This is very suitable for you." Yi Zhonghai suggested.
"Picking up trash? How is that possible? I can't afford to lose face as a human being." Jia Zhang immediately objected.
"I say, Jia Zhang, do you really think you are the landlady? Do you still have the face to lose? You can do it or not, but don't expect me to support you." Yi Zhonghai said contemptuously.
"Old Yi, can't we really discuss this?"
"No, I want to divorce you anyway. If you don't want to just stay like this, I don't care. You don't want to live in the Jia family, but insist on living in my house. You can live there if you want." Yi Zhonghai said indifferently.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai like this, Jia Zhang knew that her plan had failed, but she didn't have much hope in the first place.
"Okay, Lao Yi, I'll go pick up trash tomorrow. Can you take me with you? You don't have to do it yourself, just take me to see how others pick up trash." Jia Zhang gave in. She had no choice. She wanted to survive and didn't want to starve to death.
"That's fine. Come out with me tomorrow morning." Yi Zhonghai said indifferently.
