Chapter 156 Qin Huairu Asks for Chicken Soup
When Jia Zhang heard what Xiao Dang said, she immediately understood the whole story. She curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "This Xu Damao, isn't it just Lou Xiao'e who is pregnant? As for stewing chicken soup, it's really a waste of money. Look at you when you were pregnant, how could you drink chicken soup? Aren't these children growing up well?"
Qin Huairu listened to what Jia Zhang said and thought to herself, "I do want to drink it, but someone has to cook it for me. You are saying these sarcastic words now, but when I had no milk, you didn't even care about me." Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to say anything more and could only continue to steam the corn flour silently.
Seeing Qin Huairu still standing there, Jia Zhang showed an unhappy expression on her face. She glared at Qin Huairu and said unhappily, "What are you still standing there for? Go get some chicken soup for my good grandson!"
Qin Huairu heard this and said with some embarrassment: "Mom, this is the chicken soup that Xu Damao made for Lou Xiao'e to nourish her body. It's not appropriate for me to ask for it. Besides, Xu Damao may not give it to me even if I ask for it."
When Jia Zhang heard this, she flew into a rage. She slammed the table and said angrily, "What's inappropriate about this? We are all neighbors, so what's wrong with asking for some chicken soup? Besides, our child wants to eat meat, why shouldn't Xu Damao give it to him? If he tells you to go, just go!"
As she spoke, Jia Zhang began to slap her thighs with her hands and immediately started to cry: "Dongxu, look at your wife, you've only been gone for a short time and she's already disobeying me..." Her crying echoed in the room, making people feel annoyed.
Qin Huairu was completely helpless after being manipulated by Jia Zhangshi. She frowned and showed a helpless expression on her face. She didn't want to get entangled with Jia Zhangshi anymore.
So Qin Huairu took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Mom, don't cry, I'll go get some chicken soup now!" After that, she walked out with a big bowl without waiting for Jia Zhang's reaction.
Qin Huairu walked to Xu Damao's room and knocked gently on the door. Xu Damao was waiting for the chicken soup in the room. When he heard the sound, he looked at his wife who was sleeping on the bed and found that she was not awake, so he got up and opened the door.
Xu Damao opened the door and saw Qin Huairu standing at the door with a bowl in her hand. He frowned and asked in a low voice, "Qin Huairu, what are you doing here? Don't you know that my wife is pregnant? You almost woke her up just now."
Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao's serious expression and felt uncomfortable. But when she thought of the purpose of coming here today, she blinked her fox eyes, looked at Xu Damao, and said in a tender voice:
"Da Mao, the chicken soup in your house smells so delicious. Can you give me a bowl? The children at home haven't tasted meat for a long time. Just consider it as if I'm borrowing it from you." Her voice was a little coquettish and pleading, trying to touch Xu Damao's heart.
However, Xu Damao was not moved by her sweet words. He looked at Qin Huairu coldly and said, "Qin Huairu, do you think I'm stupid? This chicken soup is for Xiao'e to nourish her body, how can I just give it to you? You should go back and stop making trouble here." After saying that, he was about to close the door and send the guest away.
Qin Huairu saw Xu Damao was about to close the door, and she quickly stretched out her hand to stop him. Her face was full of urgency and pleading. She stared into Xu Damao's eyes and said with a pleading tone: "Damo, please have pity on us orphans and widows. The children at home haven't tasted meat for a long time. As long as you give me this bowl of chicken soup, you can ask me to do anything."
Xu Damao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked Qin Huairu up and down, as if he wanted to see through her with his eyes. His eyes wandered over Qin Huairu, and finally fixed on her face, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth. He slowly said, "Qin Huairu, it's not wrong to give you chicken soup, but what good will it do me?"
Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao's eyes and understood what he meant. She took a deep breath and made up her mind. Anyway, she had already had an IUD inserted, so there was nothing to be afraid of. So, she gritted her teeth and said directly: "You go to the cellar and wait tonight."
Xu Damao was immediately happy when he heard this. A hint of pride flashed in his eyes. He took the bowl from Qin Huairu and said with a smile, "Okay, you wait."
Xu Damao turned around and walked back into the house. After a while, he came out with a big bowl of chicken soup. Xu Damao specially added some chicken heads, chicken butts and other parts that they didn't usually eat.
He handed the chicken soup to Qin Huairu, and took this opportunity to gently touch her hand. His action was very covert, and a voice that only the two of them could hear rang in Qin Huairu's ears: "Don't forget it tonight."
Qin Huairu felt his touch and her face blushed slightly, but she didn't show it. She just gave Xu Damao a seductive look, then turned around and left.
Xu Damao looked at Qin Huairu's back, with a smug smile on his face. He said "Pooh" softly, then turned back to the house. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lou Xiao'e had woken up and was sitting on the bed looking at him.
He felt guilty for a moment, but soon calmed down, put on a smile, walked over and said, "Xiao'e, you're awake. Are you hungry? The chicken soup mom made for you is ready. I'll serve you a bowl."
Lou Xiao'e sat on the bed, staring at Xu Damao with a hint of doubt and inquiry in her eyes. She did not directly answer Xu Damao's question, but asked calmly:
"Who came just now? I saw you carrying the bowl out." Although her voice sounded calm, Xu Damao could catch a hint of suspicion in it.
Xu Damao's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Lou Xiao'e to ask this. He quickly adjusted his mindset, put on a smile, and replied, "Hey, who else? It was Qin Huairu. She came to me to ask for chicken soup. This chicken soup is specially made for you. How could I give it to someone else?"
After saying that, Xu Damao saw that Lou Xiao'e still had an expression of disbelief, so he continued to explain: "Don't we not eat chicken heads and chicken butts? I felt sorry for Qin Huairu, so I picked out the parts we didn't eat and gave them to her. She just thanked me profusely and said she would repay me in the future."
When Lou Xiao'e heard that Xu Damao gave Qin Huairu the chicken buttocks, she showed a hint of disgust on her face. She felt that she would not eat these things, let alone give them to others. But she did not ask further, and directly said to Xu Damao: "I'm hungry, give me a bowl of chicken soup and pick up a chicken leg to eat."
Xu Damao was relieved to see that Lou Xiao'e didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and agreed quickly: "Okay, I'll get it for you right away."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the stove and began to serve chicken soup to Lou Xiao'e. He carefully served a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup, then picked up a large chicken leg and put it in the bowl, and brought it to Lou Xiao'e's bed.
Lou Xiao'e took the bowl, blew gently on the steam on the chicken soup, and then drank it in small sips. Xu Damao stood aside, looking at her with a smile on his face, secretly glad that what happened just now did not arouse Lou Xiao'e's suspicion.
