Chapter 94 Jiang Qinghua Helps Xiaoju
"Brother Qiang, let me discuss something with you," Xiao Ju asked Xiao Qiang, who was lying on the bed and playing with his mobile phone while cleaning up the housework.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Qiang replied casually, without even raising his head.
"You see, my mother and I had a very unpleasant quarrel last time because of the bracelet. I think..." Seeing Xiao Ju's hesitant look, Xiao Qiang replied impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be like that." Hesitating. If there's nothing important, you'd better stop talking. I've been working hard all day, and when I come back, either my mother has something to do or you have something to do, so you mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can't let me calm down for a while? "
After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, he put down his cell phone, lifted up the quilt and lay down, turned around and gave Xiao Ju a cold back.
Xiaoju looked at Xiao Qiang's impatient look and swallowed back what she was about to say.
"Brother Qiang, Niuniu is out of milk powder, can you give me a few hundred yuan?" Xiao Ju was making milk powder for Niu Niu. When she saw that the milk powder can was empty, she said to Xiao Qiang.
"You want money again? Didn't I just give you a few hundred some time ago? Did you spend it all so quickly? If you don't have milk powder, don't drink it. You're so old, it's time to stop breastfeeding." Xiao Qiang replied impatiently.
"Brother Qiang, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you're not a family member. Although I don't make any money at home, there are so many places where I need to spend money. Niuniu's clothes, your clothes, and the food expenses of the whole family are all covered by the few hundred dollars you gave me. Yuan. Since I gave birth to Niuniu, I haven't bought any new clothes, and you still ask me where the money went!" Xiao Ju replied angrily, "I said I had to go to work, but you didn't let me, so what do you want me to do? manage?"
"I only have a few hundred yuan with me, and the rest of the money is with my mother. Why don't you go find her!" Xiao Qiang replied angrily.
have to!If you want it, you don't want it. Otherwise, Jiang Qinghua said that he would be divided into households. With only expenses and no income, it would be too frustrating to live this life.
One afternoon not long after, Xiaoju was busy cooking in the kitchen. Niuniu was crying loudly in the car and had to be held by her mother.
At this time Jiang Qinghua walked in: "Xiaoju, is Brother Qiang at home?"
"Tsinghua, you're here!" Xiao Ju walked out of the kitchen with a smile, "Brother Qiang went out to the car and hasn't come back yet." Xiao Ju replied while taking Niuniu out of the car.
"Oh, Brother Qiang asked me to deliver this material. Since he is not at home, I will give it to you first." Jiang Qinghua said and walked towards Xiaoju.
While the two were chatting, a burning smell wafted over.
"Oops! My food!" Before Xiao Ju could finish her words, she hurriedly ran to the kitchen with Niu Niu in her arms.
"Xiaoju, leave Niuniu to me. You go and get busy." Jiang Qinghua walked up quickly and took Niuniu from Xiaoju's hand.
Jiang Qinghua took Niu Niu to play in the yard, and the laughter of the two reached Xiao Ju's ears from time to time. Niu Niu had not laughed so happily for a long time. Xiao Qiang was busy racing cars every day and had no time to accompany Niu Niu. Even if I have one or two days of rest every month, I don’t know why I go out. Anyway, I always have no time to accompany Niu Niu.Because of this, Niuniu only feels close to her mother at home and loves to pester Xiaoju at all times.Jiang Qinghua, on the other hand, would tease him for a while because he met her occasionally. Niu Niu didn't recognize him, so the two older children could play together very well.
After seeing Xiao Ju come out of the kitchen after finishing her work, Jiang Qinghua said: "By the way, Xiao Ju, I forgot to tell you that the underground water pipeline will be repaired in the village soon, and I don't know how long the water supply will be stopped. Remember to prepare more in advance. Water!"
"Thank you, Tsinghua University." After Xiao Ju thanked Jiang Qinghua University, she turned around and filled the bucket with water, preparing to pour it into the one-meter-high water tank.
Seeing this, Jiang Qinghua stepped forward quickly, took the bucket from Xiao Ju's hand and said, "Come on, I'll pour it, you stay with Niu Niu."
"No need to trouble you, I can do it myself." Xiao Ju said shyly.
"Xiao Ju, you said you let me, a grown man, stand by and watch a woman do such strenuous work. Isn't that a slap in the face!" Jiang Qinghua said pretending to be sullen.
"Okay then." Xiaoju hesitated for a moment and then stopped refusing. She handed the bucket to Jiang Qinghua with a smile.
While Jiang Qinghua helped Xiao Ju pour buckets of water, he asked, "Xiao Ju, has your mother-in-law started playing mahjong again recently?"
"Yes! After the police came last time, she stayed at home for a period of time. Now she started going out to play mahjong all day long. But since that incident, she has stopped saying bad things to me. What a bad word." Xiaoju said with a smile.
"Well, it's hard to change a country's nature, so you should be more careful. By the way, have you mentioned the division of ownership to Brother Qiang?"
"No, I wanted to mention this a few times, but when I saw Brother Qiang's impatient look, I didn't have the nerve to mention it." Xiao Ju lowered her head and replied.
"Brother Qiang, is he still worried about the last time you called the police? He really is, why can't he tell right from wrong? It's obviously his damn problem." As he spoke, the water was already filling up, "Okay, Xiaoju, the water tank is full, it’s time for me to leave. If you have any heavy work in the future, just come to me. Anyway, I’m at the village committee, so it’s not far away.”
"Excuse me, Tsinghua University." Xiaoju hugged Niuniu and taught her with a smile, "Niuniu, please tell me, thank you uncle."
Niu Niu imitated and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you, uncle."
"Niuniu is so good! That uncle is leaving first." After Jiang Qinghua finished speaking, he pinched Niuniu's little face affectionately.
After Xiao Qiang came back from get off work in the evening, Xiao Ju handed over the materials: "Here! Jiang Qinghua sent it to you today."
"He didn't say anything, did he?" Xiao Qiang asked calmly after taking it.
"I didn't say anything!" Xiaoju replied calmly.
"Stay away from him from now on, you know?" Xiao Qiang said with a hint of anger.
"Why? Isn't he your good buddy?" Xiao Ju asked doubtfully.
"You are almost thirty, and you have never found a partner. If you get close to him, you are afraid that outsiders will gossip." Xiao Qiang reminded him intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiaoju said "Oh" and said nothing.
After a period of silence, Xiao Ju timidly said: "Brother Qiang, I want to discuss something with you. Do you think we should separate households with mom? This can also avoid a lot of family conflicts."
"Dividing households? Isn't that just dividing the family? You can't imagine it! Do you know how difficult it is for my mother to raise me by herself?!" Xiao Qiang became angry when he heard this and shouted loudly.
"Did Jiang Qinghua give you the idea today?" Xiao Qiang continued to ask when Xiaoju remained silent.Xiaoju still lowered her head and said nothing.
"I knew it was this guy who had the bad idea, but you didn't have that much in mind." Xiao Qiang said angrily.
"I think household division is good. In terms of life philosophy, we young people and old people have many differences. Moreover, household division does not mean that you ignore your mother, but this can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. For example, the bracelet last time If we separate the families, there won't be such misunderstandings." Xiao Ju replied.
"You still have the nerve to mention the bracelet. If you hadn't called the police, could my mother have lost this person? Seeing my mother suffer such injustice, I am really unfilial as a son." When the police came, Xiao Qiang was not at home. This matter was later told to Xiao Qiang by Xiao Qiang's mother, and Xiao Qiang always held a grudge against Xiao Ju.At this moment, Xiaoju actually used the bracelet to make trouble, and Xiao Qiang was even more angry.
"Brother Qiang, I called the police so that I could get my mother's bracelet back as soon as possible! Besides, she slandered me in front of the whole village about stealing her bracelet. Why didn't you come out to say a word for me at that time? Isn't my face like this? Isn't it a face?" Seeing Xiao Qiang getting angry at her without distinguishing right from wrong, Xiao Ju also became a little angry and couldn't help but raise her voice.
"Then I don't have any evidence to prove that you didn't take it! Your mother's family is so obsessed with money, how can we guarantee that you won't take advantage of it?" Xiao Qiang shouted.
"Xiao Qiang! Am I such a person in your eyes? You chill me so much!" Xiao Ju said, sitting on the bedside and crying loudly.
"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. If I hadn't paid back the scholarship for you, would you have followed me?" Xiao Qiang asked loudly.
"Brother Qiang, I am very grateful to you for paying back my bursary for me. From then on, I believed in my heart that you are a good person, so I chose to be with you, not what you understood." Xiao Ju cried. argued.
"Come on, Xiaoju, don't say it better than you sing it. Your family's 8 yuan gift money was also designed by you early in the morning to make me take advantage of you, right? I'm so stupid, because of this matter, I didn't lose anything My mother is complaining." Xiao Qiang said bitterly.
"Brother Qiang, you have to speak with your conscience. I told you before we got married. My family has a heavy burden. If you can accept it, we can be together again. You are the one who considered agreeing. How can this be blamed on me again? Are you on?" Xiaoju stepped forward and asked.
"You are playing hard to get, and I have fallen into your trap!" Xiao Qiang replied angrily.
Just as the two were bickering, Xiao Qiang's mother walked in: "Why are you two arguing so late at night if you don't sleep?"
"Mom! Xiaoju instigated me to separate from you." Xiao Qiang replied harshly.
"Separate the family? Xiaoju, this is your fault. Is it easy for me to work hard to pull the big Qiangzi by myself! You have only been married to an outsider for a few days, and you think I am an eyesore to you?" Xiao Qiang's mother asked aggrievedly. asked Xiaoju.
"Mom, you misunderstood me. I meant that household division is good for all of us. This can avoid many unnecessary family conflicts." Xiaoju explained with difficulty.
"I think I'm only treating you, okay? Qiangzi, come here, I have something to do with you." Xiao Qiang's mother said while waving to Xiao Qiang.
Xiao Qiang followed his mother out, leaving Xiao Ju sitting on the bed alone and sobbing softly.
After the mother and son entered the back room together, Xiao Qiang asked: "Mom, what do you want from me?"
"Qiangzi, do you know what dividing households means?" Xiao Qiang's mother whispered mysteriously.
"Isn't it just a separation?" Xiao Qiang replied in confusion.
"My silly son, you didn't even know that you were being tricked and sold. After the household division, it means that our family will have two household registers, and Xiaoju's half of this house will be divided. In the future, Xiaoju's household registration will also be lost. Once it is in your household registration book, it has nothing to do with me. Even if our house is demolished in the future, she will have to share half of it. If there is no household division, the head of the household will still be your mother. No matter what happens in the family in the future, she will be the head of the household. With your mother's consent, she can't afford to make any trouble." Xiao Qiang's mother whispered to Xiao Qiang.
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang suddenly realized: "So that's it! I didn't realize that Xiao Ju is really good at scheming."
Xiao Qiang's mother replied: "Do you think she went to college for free?! Well, I told you a long time ago that I asked you to find a local girl to get married, but you just didn't listen. Let me tell you, they These outsiders are very clever, I heard that there are many people in neighboring villages who have been defrauded of their household registration."
"Fake household registration?" Xiao Qiang asked doubtfully.
"After three years of marriage, the other party will move their household registration and then get divorced. In this way, you can get a BJ household registration for free. You will have capital if you look for it in the future." Xiao Qiang's mother explained to Xiao Qiang in a low voice.
"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Qiang looked unbelieving.
"That's why I said you were stupid. Anyway, from now on, we two must be more careful, and don't let Xiao Ju succeed! She was the one who tricked me into losing the bracelet this time." Speaking of this matter, Xiao Qiang My mother was very angry and said, "How come my mother's life is so miserable? She has such a mean-spirited daughter-in-law. She has never suffered from such cowardice in her life." Xiao Qiang's mother started to cry as she spoke. stand up.
"I'm sorry, Mom, it's all my unfilial piety that makes you feel wronged." Xiao Qiang kept comforting him.
