Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 7

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the street was still deserted, with few people.

Li Weidong took two steps back before he could clearly see the person who hit him.

"So it's Jia's sister-in-law. Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Qin Huairu was holding a jar in one hand and covering his chest with the other, a little panic could still be seen on his face.

"Li Er... the second brother."

"You should call me by my name, these two brothers don't sound very nice."

Li Weidong shook his head, then knelt down to pick up the basket.

Taking the flour bag away, it can be clearly seen that several eggs inside have been broken.

Qin Huairu originally wanted to make a joke, but when she saw this scene, she was dumbfounded.

Then I feel a little dizzy.

egg?

And she accidentally broke it?

Li Weidong cleaned out the broken eggs and broke six in total.

Looking at the broken eggs, he frowned.

If you put it in an ordinary house, you will definitely not be willing to throw away the broken ones, even if they are stained with dirt, you have to clean them up.

But Li Weidong is used to the life of later generations, and now he has a game farm by his side, so he doesn't like it.

"Sister-in-law, I was a little anxious just now, but you didn't pay much attention to the road. For these broken eggs, let's add two to one and make five. How about one of us taking three?"

Although I didn't pay attention to a few eggs, it is obviously impossible to say that nothing happened.

Generosity can sometimes be seen as weakness and bullying.

"Me, I take three?"

Qin Huairu's face turned pale.

Who doesn't know that eggs are precious these days?
And her family's situation is very special.

Her husband died less than half a year ago, and she just gave birth to a young daughter. There is also a mother-in-law, a son, and an older daughter at home.

Although the factory took care of her and let her replace her husband in the rolling mill, she was regarded as a regular worker, but she was paid the minimum wage.

The livelihood of the whole family is on her shoulders, and life is tight.

As for eggs, the last time I ate them was when my little daughter was just born. As a person with special needs, I received a ticket for two catties of eggs at the street office.

But in fact, most of the eggs went into the stomachs of the son and the eldest daughter.

She can't bear to eat.

And right now, let her pay three eggs?
Where did she get the eggs?

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't have any eggs. I just bought these eggs at the Pigeon Market. The conversion is twenty-five cents, and three is seventy-five cents. Just give me the money."

Li Weidong seemed to see through her thoughts, and spoke again.

Hearing Li Weidong's words, Qin Huairu murmured silently—it was dark.

Twenty-five cents for an egg?

Why don't you go grab it?
If you buy it with an egg ticket, it's only [-] cents a catty.

Eggs are small these days, about ten to a catty.

Equivalent to a nickel.

When it came to her, it doubled five times?
A big man knows how to bully widows.

Even though he was upset in his heart, Qin Huairu still managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Brother Li...Weidong, can you see if this works? I'll buy egg tickets at the end of the year and return them to you."

If she was asked to buy three eggs for seventy-five cents, she would not be willing to kill her.

There is a shortfall of sixty cents.

You can buy dozens of catties of Chinese cabbage.

"The end of the year?"

Li Weidong dragged his voice, and under Qin Huairu's expectant eyes, he flatly refused.

"no!"

"You, if you go to the black market to buy eggs, it's illegal buying and selling, so you're not afraid that I will report you?" Qin Huairu said angrily.

Of course, she just said it casually.

"Go ahead."

Li Weidong said calmly.

Since he dared to say it in person, he was not afraid of the other party reporting it.

Don't say anything without evidence, unless her family doesn't want to live in this courtyard.

After all, who doesn't have a difficult time?
Have you ever been to Pigeon City secretly?
"I have no money."

Qin Huairu didn't make any moves, so he simply played a rogue.

"If you don't have money, you can use other things to pay back." Li Weidong looked the other party up and down and smiled.

"Okay, if you're not afraid of your father breaking your leg, just come."

Qin Huairu stared and straightened her chest.

"Ah."

Li Weidong laughed lightly, and simply walked past the other party with a basket in his hand, but the sound came to Qin Huairu's ears faintly.

"You think so beautifully."

"For the sake of everyone living in the same courtyard, I will allow you until the end of the year, but by then there will be six eggs instead of three."

When Li Weidong's figure disappeared, Qin Huairu came back to his senses.

"He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks decent. I didn't expect him to be a dark-hearted person. I don't think he should be called Li Weidong. He might as well be called Li Erhei."

Qin Huairu became angry from embarrassment, and muttered bitterly.

Then she glanced at the broken egg thrown aside by Li Weidong, but it was a pity that it had completely seeped into the soil, and it was too late to save it.

This made her feel even more distressed.

When Li Weidong came home, he found that grandma was cleaning up the housework.

In other words, grandma hasn't slept since he left.

There is actually nothing to clean up at home, they are all half-new and not old belongings, and because there are few places to stay, no matter how you clean them up, they still look messy.

At the same time, Zhang Xiuzhen and sister-in-law also got up.

At this time, no matter if the new daughter-in-law or the old daughter-in-law wants to sleep until the sun rises, or let the mother-in-law bring the food to the bed, it is purely overthinking.

"Why did you come back so late?"

Seeing Li Weidong, grandma's hanging heart finally let go.

"The first time I went to the Pigeon Market, I couldn't help but do more shopping. Here, here are the flour and eggs I bought."

Li Weidong looked at grandma flatteringly, then put the basket on the table.

Grandma didn't pay much attention to what she bought, but Zhang Xiuzhen and Yang Fangfang both stared wide-eyed.

flour?

egg?

It's just that the former is distressed, thinking that he has spent all the money he gave to Li Weidong.

The latter is pure joy.

Is it possible to roll out noodles with flour and eggs and nest a poached egg?
"It's my good grandson who can buy flour and eggs."

Grandma took a deep look at her daughter-in-law, and boasted with a smile.

Even though Li Weidong was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but panic when he heard this.

The old lady's eccentricity is also very crooked.

"Well, it's good. I just boiled two eggs for Weidong's nourishment." What else could Zhang Xiuzhen say?
"Sister-in-law, I bought a total of [-] eggs, and boiled seven this morning, which happens to be one for each of our family." Li Weidong said.

"Seven?"

Yang Fangfang was a little unresponsive.

Isn't there eight people in the family?

My little uncle hurt his head, confused?

"Auntie, this flour is a total of eight catties and seven taels. Adding eggs, it costs a total of two yuan. After that, every three to five days, there will be such a large amount. You can cook whatever you want, and you can't eat it all day long." Wowotou."

Li Weidong ignored the confused sister-in-law, but said directly to Zhang Xiuzhen.

"Two dollars?"

Zhang Xiuzhen raised her voice a little, and looked at Li Weidong suspiciously.

Is this when she hasn't been to the black market?
Don't know the price?
"Well, it's just a coincidence. The one who sold the flour and eggs was a friend of mine, and he sold them to me cheaply." Li Weidong said calmly.

Isn't there a friend who sells pumpkins, and another friend who sells flour and eggs? In a few days, maybe even a friend who sells meat will come out.

As the old saying goes, rely on your parents at home and friends outside.

He Li Weidong doesn't have many other things, but he has many friends.

"What friend?"

At this time, Father Li came out of the room with a gloomy face.
