Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Early the next morning, Qin Huairu went to Dongjun Hotel to find He Yuzhu.

Qin Huairu's original plan was to target He Yuzhu's biological son and daughter in order to coerce He Yuzhu into meeting her alone, and then scheme to take over the house in the backyard.

Unexpectedly, He Yuzhu would take his son and daughter to work at Dongjun Hotel every morning, leaving them in a daycare center for their studies and daily life. After get off work, he would take his son and daughter home together, leaving Qin Huairu with no opportunity to make a move.

In this situation, Qin Huairu had no choice but to resort to threats to force He Yuzhu to meet with her alone.

As He Yuzhu walked out of the back door of Dongjun Hotel, he saw Qin Huairu standing not far away, looking on expectantly.

Anger surged up instantly, his entire face filled with rage, and he stormed up to Qin Huairu and began to hurl insults: "Qin Huairu..."

"You're a madman, what exactly do you want?"

“I made it perfectly clear to you yesterday that even if I, He Yuzhu, give the house away to someone else, I will not sell it to the Jia family. You should give up on that idea.”

"I have an irreconcilable hatred for the Jia family, and you, Qin Huairu, are my irreconcilable enemies. I don't want anything to do with you anymore, so get lost..."

Hearing He Yuzhu call her a madwoman, Qin Huairu not only felt no shame, but took pride in it, and sneered as she replied, "Yes, I, Qin Huairu, am a madwoman."

"My son, Banggeng, is in jail for smuggling..."

"My eldest daughter, Xiaodang, ran away... My second daughter, Kuihua, ran away too. Now I'm all alone. Anyway, I don't have much of a life left. So what if I go crazy..."

"Silly Zhu..."

"I'll come to your house in the backyard tonight at eight o'clock to discuss the house..."

"Otherwise, this madman of mine might do something bad."

“Impossible…” He Yuzhu knew that Qin Huairu was about to make a move, but he did not immediately nod in agreement.

After all, Qin Huairu wasn't stupid. Just yesterday, he had righteously refused to discuss anything about the house in the backyard with Qin Huairu.

If Qin Huairu were to suddenly change his mind, even if he were foolish, he would know there was something wrong with the matter, and might even suspect that Qin Huairu had ulterior motives, thus becoming more vigilant.

Then his plan to do the opposite and scheme against Qin Huairu would not be able to continue.

He immediately put on an angry expression and said, "Don't even think about it..."

"I'll say it again: even if I, He Yuzhu, give the house away to someone else, I will not sell it to the Jia family."

“We’ve been divorced for years. There’s nothing but hatred between us. I feel like cursing whenever I see you, let alone meeting you alone.”

"Get out of here, I need to get back to work..."

Qin Huairu seemed to have already guessed that He Yuzhu would reject her suggestion. She did not show any anger or displeasure on her face, but instead answered with a frown.

"He Yuzhu..."

"You'd better think this through..."

"I've already made it clear to you, I have nothing left now, so I can do anything..."

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your wife, son, and daughter."

"Who knows, I might go crazy one day, find your son and daughter, and hurt them."

"How dare you..." He Yuzhu's anger intensified as he stared at Qin Huairu with wide eyes and questioned her.

Qin Huairu sneered and replied, "I'm a madman, there's nothing I wouldn't dare to do..."

"Even though you've sent your son and daughter to the hotel's after-school care program, I don't see an opportunity to make a move."

“But your son and daughter have grown up. As long as they go to school, there will be a time when they leave you.”

"If you don't listen to us today, your son and daughter should watch out. They might just disappear from Beijing one day..."

He Yuzhu's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, as if they could breathe fire, and he stared at Qin Huairu, asking, "Qin Huairu..."

Aren't you afraid the police will arrest you?

Qin Huairu replied with a helpless expression, "Anyway, I don't want to live anymore. Being arrested is good because at least someone will feed me, and maybe I can even reunite with Bang Geng in prison..."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was furious but couldn't do anything to her, and could only stare at her with bloodshot eyes, Qin Huairu was very happy, knowing that she had found He Yuzhu's weakness.

He spoke again: "Pillar..."

"I'm not going to eat you, I just want to get the house for Bang Geng to get married in before he gets out of prison..."

"I know you have a problem with the Jia family..."

"But it's not like I'm not going to give you the money..."

"Let's meet at your house in the backyard tonight at eight o'clock. I'm sure we can reach a conclusion..."

"If you don't go, then be careful about the safety of your own son and daughter..."

“If you go, regardless of whether we can reach a conclusion, I, Qin Huairu, guarantee that I will no longer threaten your son and daughter…”

He Yuzhu's hands were clenched into fists, his face full of anger. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke: "I'll go..."

"As long as you promise not to target my son and daughter in the future, I'll discuss the backyard house with you..."

“But if I find out that you have broken your promise, I, He Yuzhu, will make the Jia family pay the price, even if it costs me my life.”

"I, He Yuzhu, have a son, and you, Qin Huairu, also have a son..."

"Although he is in jail now, he will be released eventually."

“If he goes back on his word, I guarantee he’ll be in deep trouble… he might even end up in jail again.”

Hearing He Yuzhu threaten the stick, Qin Huairu still felt a little scared and flustered.

But the thought that after tonight, He Yuzhu's house in the backyard would belong to her, and that she would no longer be at the mercy of Yi Zhonghai's house, immediately suppressed her panic. She took a deep breath, forced herself to remain calm, and then answered very seriously, "Don't worry..."

"I, Qin Huairu, keep my word..."

"As long as you agree to discuss the house with me tonight, I promise I will no longer target your son and daughter."

…………

No sooner had Qin Huairu left Dongjun Hotel than He Yuzhu rushed into Wang Dong's office.

With a complex expression, he sighed to Wang Dong, "Dongzi..."

"The method you taught me is so useful..."

"Just one night later, that madman Qin Huai couldn't hold back anymore and threatened me with the safety of my son and daughter, saying that I must discuss the house with him in the backyard house tonight."

"What should I do?"

"Could we seize this opportunity to find something on Qin Huairu, then turn the tables on him and make him lose both his wife and his army?"

"That woman is so hateful..."

"This time, we absolutely cannot let her off easily." (End of Chapter)
