Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 326 Jealousy

But nowadays, no one dares to be too open. Even if they ask someone for help, they do it in the name of helping each other among neighbors.

Even if Zuo Zhizhi wanted to secretly slip some money in, she was afraid that others would report her, so she could only use other things in exchange.

The Gu family sent a lot of fruits, brown sugar, peanuts, and red dates. These are all foods for confinement, so only a part of them was sent.

Just to express her gratitude to Aunt Ding, Zuo Zhizhi even took out the meat she had prepared earlier.

In this day and age, a family works hard for half a day just to have something good to eat.

Therefore, Zuo Zhizhi's taking out some meat every now and then naturally touched her heart.

Anyway, the things are not expensive, they were all prepared by Zuo Zhizhi in the previous world.

In the ancient world, there was no feed. All animals were fed by hand, so the pork tasted quite good.

After obtaining space in the apocalyptic world, Zuo Zhizhi did not have much possibility to harvest a large amount of meat, only some meat of mutant animals collected later.

It was naturally impossible to take these things out, so Zuo Zhizhi specifically looked for someone to collect them in the ancient world.

Although meat was a luxury in ancient times, since the family was rich, there was naturally no problem.

Zuo Zhizhi's space now has a large amount of edible meat stored in it, which can last for decades even if she eats it crazily without any scruples.

It is naturally not a problem to give some of it to express gratitude to Aunt Ding now.

But if he did that, his house would be too conspicuous, so he only gave some to Aunt Ding when no one else would notice.

In addition, Zuo Zhizhi also took a lot of cloth.

This is also a product of the ancient world. Because it is hand-woven cloth, the price is relatively high.

But as time goes by, there won’t be that much left.

Aunt Ding was naturally very happy and immediately agreed to help Zuo Zhizhi take care of the child for the next period of time.

Although the factory has a nursery, children are generally sent there when they are older.

When children are young, they are either looked after by someone or are brought directly to their mother's side.

Zuo Zhizhi didn't want to watch her child 24 hours a day, so she had to entrust it to someone else.

Aunt Ding was very happy, but other people in the yard were not so happy.

Especially the elderly ladies in the courtyard, they think they are no worse than Aunt Ding, but she is the only one who enjoys such good treatment, so they naturally feel unbalanced.

Originally everyone stayed at home to do the housework, but now one person is able to get a lot of compensation while doing the housework, so everyone is naturally dissatisfied.

However, Zuo Zhizhi and Aunt Ding did not have any financial dealings with each other. They only gave each other some items as gifts, and no one could find any fault with them, so they could only hate them secretly in their hearts.

Another person who was unhappy was Aunt Ding’s daughter-in-law Cao Fang.

Although Cao Fang tried every means to seize power in the Ding family after marrying into it.

But now, when Aunt Ding went to Zuo Zhizhi's house to help, she had to pack up the things she got by herself.

Even though part of the food was shared by the family, Aunt Ding secretly exchanged some of it for money with other people.

And this part of the things was naturally held in her own hands.

Cao Fang was very dissatisfied with this.

But after all, it was her family that took advantage. Even if she told this matter to others, no one would stand on her side, so she could only feel angry in her heart.

It was not until a month later that Zuo Zhizhi successfully left her confinement and went to work at the factory, but Aunt Ding's family issues had not been completely resolved.

Because she was worried, Zuo Zhizhi asked Aunt Ding to stay at home and look after the child.

On the surface, they said they were worried that the children would catch a cold if they went outside in such cold weather, but in reality, they were really worried about the people at home.

In fact, Aunt Ding had no objection to this, but was very happy.

Because I have been staying at Zuo Zhizhi's house, not only do I have a warm room, but there is also not much to do at home.

She would even clean the house, and spend the rest of her time looking after the children and sewing shoe soles.

As for the affairs of the Ding family, they were all handed over to Cao Fang. Although she was very dissatisfied, it was something that had been agreed upon long ago, and she could not refuse now.

For the safety of her child, Zuo Zhizhi also installed surveillance cameras to ensure that the child's every move can be detected.

Although I know that Aunt Ding has no bad intentions, it’s always good to be more careful.

When Zuo Zhizhi arrived at the factory, everyone greeted her the same way. Although some people pretended to be nice, they were actually very disdainful in their hearts.

According to Zuo Zhizhi's level of confinement, it was indeed too high for others, so it was normal for everyone to be unhappy.

But Zuo Zhizhi didn't take it to heart at all, and went to work happily.

In addition to her normal checks on work outside, she also takes time to check on the situation at home.

Only after confirming that there was no one else at home and the child was safe did I feel relieved.

There is no way. The person who takes care of the child now is just a neighbor and I can’t be completely trustworthy.

But based on the current situation, there is no better way, so we can only do this for the time being.

In the following months, Zuo Zhizhi lived a normal life. When the child was a little older, she sent him to a special nursery in the factory.

Although Aunt Ding was reluctant, she knew there was nothing she could do about it.

Previously, because there was no family to help, we were forced to ask other people to come.

Now that my child is older, I feel more at ease sending him to the factory.

Because all the children in the factory are sent here, not only can they come here at any time, but there are also people specifically responsible for their management, so there will definitely be no problems.

Before Zuo Zhizhi could react, she heard that something happened at home again.

He handed the child to Gu Jiqing and returned to Zuo's house alone.

But as soon as she entered the house, she found that the atmosphere at home was not right. However, Zuo Zhizhi seemed to be unaware of it. Instead, she said happily: "This is what I bought for you. What's wrong? I don't see any children running around outside."

At this time, Xie Hehua pulled Zuo Zhizhi to a room on the side. She kept sighing, waiting for Zuo Zhizhi to speak first.

But Zuo Zhizhi didn't indulge her. After all, they didn't have much friendship to begin with, and it was completely exhausted over the years. She just ignored her completely.

Because they were in the small compartment where Zuo Aijun lived alone, Zuo Zhizhi took out some snacks from her pocket without hesitation and shouted to Zuo Aijun and Zuo Hongxia outside.

"Aijun Hongxia, come here quickly. This is the candy I bought especially for you two."

Seeing them coming over, Zuo Zhizhi finally spoke: "Be careful, you can't eat too much of this candy, so remember not to let your nephew see it. You two can just eat it quietly!"
