Qin Huairu straightened her body, then raised her hand to show Jia Zhang.

"The street has arranged an odd job for our family. This winter, I have five cold sores on my hands. My hands hurt and I don't want to talk."

"I said I'd do it back and forth with you. Anyway, it's just a little nimble sitting down, so it won't take any effort. In other people's homes, it's just two people doing it, and you'll have a headache."

"You have a headache, why don't you go to work? My hands hurt and I don't want to talk."

She tried to talk to Mrs. Jia Zhang, but the old witch ignored her, so she couldn't bear to say anything. She couldn't ask a mother-in-law to do anything.

Just because you endure it doesn't mean you feel comfortable in your heart. Whoever endures this pain knows it well. The water is freezing cold at more than ten degrees below zero, and these hands are cleaning workpieces in the water.

Even if Mrs. Jia and Zhang helped her for a few days, she wouldn't have frostbite on her hands, and there would be a crack on the back, which would become purulent many times and never heal.

Before, no one hurt her, no one cared about her, no one cared about her, and even scratched her, but now she didn't want to be so angry.

Qin Huairu took out a box of sun plaster patches from her pocket, then took out one patch and used it on her hands.

Maybe the effect of treating frostbite is so good that I can’t earn enough money for it.

Or people who are suffering from the cold won’t buy it.

This frostbite is uncomfortable. It itches very much when it's hot, hurts when it's cold, and pus will form when exposed to water. It won't heal for a long time. It's uncomfortable but not fatal. People who can afford it can't survive the cold, and those who can't afford it can just endure it.

It's past.

Therefore, even though this sun ointment is very famous, it has not been passed down.

Yi Chuanzong bought this for Lou Xiaoe. During the two days when the weather got cold, a small red pimple appeared on the tiger paw that he touched frequently. He quickly went to buy medicine and gloves. In the end, the medicine was useless and he wore gloves for two days.

Okay, this tiger claw must have hair on it.

Just now, the two of them were sitting together chatting. Yi Chuanzong habitually held Qin Huairu's hand. Seeing that Qin Huairu's hand was almost the same as Sister Hua's previous injury, he naturally felt distressed and simply took the sun ointment.

come out.

"You still buy medicine? How much money do you earn, and you just buy medicine? Why is this box not worth fifty cents? Qin Huairu, are you crazy?"

Jia Zhang's heart exploded as soon as she saw a box full of medicine. Of course, this odd job can't make as much money as working in a factory. The minimum apprenticeship is seventeen and a half yuan. Once the temporary worker's daily quota is full, that's

Ten dollars a month.

A day's salary is only more than 30 cents, and a box of medicine is only one or two days' salary. She can still bear to buy one or two strips. There are more than ten strips in it. How long will it take?

This ointment is similar to a plaster the size of a Band-Aid. Normally people use it by cutting it. One plaster can be used two or three times. Here, I saw that each plaster has been applied, and the left hand is applied to the right hand. It is really used.

Not distressed at all.

"The Chinese New Year is almost here. I have worked for more than two months and spent a few cents to maintain it. I can live a comfortable New Year. You will also spend a lot of money taking medicine."

Qin Huairu replied in a subtle way.

Comparing one's feelings with one's own, she did nothing wrong. Mrs. Jia Zhang is her mother-in-law, not her child. It doesn't matter if she suffers for her child. There is no good in suffering for her mother-in-law, so why bother.

Sitting in front of the stove, Qin Huairu pressed her hand carefully. She could feel Yi Chuanzong's heartache when he looked at her hand. She was extremely happy at that time.

Yi Chuanzong's concern made her happier than the ointment. Her man loved her as much as if there was a little sun in his heart. Of course she had to take good care of herself obediently.

In fact, there was one thing she didn't say, otherwise Jia Zhang would be more anxious. There were two boxes of sun ointment in her pocket.

When Yi Chuanzong went to buy medicine, he habitually bought two copies. After all, one side of the two wives was freezing, and the other side might be about the same. He also bought two gloves, but neither of them used any ointment.

It'll be fine after two days of wearing gloves.

Ms. Jia Zhang was speechless. Her illness was an illness, and other people's pain was pain. Qin Huairu could spend the money she earned, but she had a headache and did nothing to spend it.

Feeling suffocated, Jia Zhang could only use her usual move - Spreading. She suddenly let out a wail, sat on the edge of the bed, leaned back and began to slap her thighs.

"Okay, Qin Huairu, you are going to pay your legal salary today. Dongxu didn't give it to you when he was here. This is your private money. You must have something on your mind for a long time! You can't live this life!"

Dongxu!"

Jia Dongxu is a stingy person, so the money he earns will naturally not be taken care of by Qin Huairu. It has always been held by Jia Zhang. After all, it is his mother, and he is not afraid of losing the money.

But, after all, they were a couple, so Jia Dongxu left some money for Qin Huairu. Jia Zhang also knew that this was just looking for a reason to act up.

Listening to such cries, Qin Huairu had complained many times in her heart. She had been subjected to a lot of rules in the past three months, and she was already tired of it.

No matter what Jia Zhang cried, she said calmly: "If you think you can't survive this life, I will go back to the village. Anyway, you have about 700 yuan, and you can live for more than ten years if you save some money."

, it’s the four of us who are dragging you down.”

"You can work a little bit until retirement age, and then you can be a five-guarantee household and receive some public food. The old deaf lady in the backyard is living a pretty good life. You can go and learn in advance."

At the same time, she added in her mind, 'You have to be kind and willing to let someone live in your house, and that person has to be as kind, grateful and capable as the ancestor, and there is a good old man like the uncle, so that you can live comfortably.'

"What! You want to go back to the village!"

Jia Zhang suddenly jumped up from the bed and looked at Qin Huairu in disbelief.

Life in the city is a bit hard, but life in the village will only be even harder.

This year, ten work points are 15 cents. A big man only earns 15 cents a day, which is only 4 yuan and 50 cents a month. The salary is three times lower than the average wage in the city. Even the odd jobs are done by big men in the village.

If you can live in the city twice as long as you live in the city, who would want to go back to the village?

"Qin Huairu, why are you so cruel! What will you do to the three children when you go back? My poor stick!"

At this time, Ms. Jia Zhang was already scared. The three children were miserable, and she was naturally even more miserable.

Qin Huairu frowned and looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang crying there. She said loudly: "It's not what I want the three children to do, it's what you want the three children to do! I work outside to make money, come back

I still have to serve you, so you can sleep soundly in the middle of the night and I have to take care of the little Sophora japonica at night. If you are still not satisfied, what do you want me to do?"

"I have been enduring it for the sake of my three children. If you don't like me, then you can drive us back to the village. I came from the village originally. The poor family will be poor, and the rich family will be rich. If we are hungry, we will be poor."

Even if we, the four of us, have a bad life, we don't have to live a decent life in this city, working hard with our heads down and having to listen to your criticism, as if I'm not a human being."

It is a little more difficult to enter the city in this village, but that means you don't know the way.

In just over ten years, the permanent population of Forty-Nine City has doubled from more than three million, which means that in the past ten years, more than 100,000 people have moved into Forty-Nine City every year.

Just like living in this courtyard house, Yi Chuanzong suddenly came over, worked in a factory as a formal worker, and his household registration directly changed to a city household registration.

There are also many ways to transfer household registration. If you don’t know the way in the village, when you get to the city, it becomes a topic of conversation after dinner.

There are a lot of people at this time, and after staying in the city for a long time, and chatting a lot, you will naturally know how to get into the city, what kind of work you can do, and how to survive in the city.

Qin Huairu didn't really want to take her child back to the village. There was indeed a gap between life in the village and the city. She couldn't let her child suffer with her.

However, she really doesn't want to suffer from Jia Zhang's side anymore. As long as Jia Zhang doesn't give her any rules, she can accept working and supporting such a person. After all, she has been calling her mother for ten years.

, if the relationship is not good, it will not be good, even if you have endured it for ten years, you still have feelings.

If it didn't work out, she would find a way to move out of this courtyard and find a job. It was not impossible for the four of her to live in this city.

Qin Huairu stroked her hair gently, thinking of the slightly deserted courtyard, she thought of the man again.

He liked stroking her long hair like this at that time.

This man was very generous and seemed to accept her in his heart. He gave her one hundred yuan at a time, saying that he would not let her suffer.

Qin Huairu didn't ask for that much, and she had no place to spend the money. She was with Jia Zhang in the city, and Jia Zhang calculated her little salary. It would not be enough to spend one penny more, but it would not be enough to spend one penny less.

.

In the end, she only took ten yuan, thinking that she would buy something for her parents when she went home in two days.

Life in the village is hard, and it has been even harder in the past three years. Ten yuan means almost two months of work. A couple working together in the fields for a month cannot earn ten yuan.

If she could take it back, it would be equivalent to one-tenth of the extra year's income. Her family would be able to live a good New Year, buy some coal to keep warm, eat better during the New Year, keep it without spending it, and live a more relaxed life in the coming year.

, the rich man is relieved to be alive.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was completely panicked now. Looking at Qin Huairu's somewhat absent-minded look, she seemed to really want to return to the village!

How can that work?

She had no idea at all.

The reason I gave Qin Huairu some rules before was just to give this wife a slap in the face.

After all, a single young man like Yi Chuanzong came here. He seemed to be doing well in the factory. He was also tall and strong. Looking at the safety, she was afraid that Qin Huairu would have something to worry about, so she only cleaned it up every three days.

tidy up.

It would be okay if he was like Silly Zhu. If this person were more energetic, he wouldn't be a wife now, so he wouldn't be a threat.

It wasn't until Yi Chuanzong got married that she felt relieved.

But when she secretly went to Lingongyuan, she saw Li Hao, the clerk, making porcelain with his daughter-in-law. Qin Huairu simply behaved well and ignored this person at all.

However, she didn't dare to relax, and she still followed the rules every now and then, nodding when nothing was wrong.

Is this annoying people now?

This completely goes against her original intention!

Jia Zhang took it cleanly and softly.

"Huai Ru, are you really angry with Mom? Mom talks too much. Isn't this all for our family?"

"Now that Dongxu is gone, I don't have the energy to move around for a few years even though I'm sick. I'm afraid you've neglected the three children."

"Mom won't talk about it from now on, but we still have to live our lives. In fact, mom doesn't mind you spending money, but these fifty cents are not small money. The current situation in our family makes me anxious, right?"
