Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Looking at the extra figure in the central courtyard, He Yuzhu seemed to be deep in thought.

Qin Huairu is indeed ruthless.

When faced with difficulties, they betrayed those around them.

She had schemed to gain so much from Qin Jingru, but now that she was in trouble, she had somehow managed to pull Qin Jingru back once again.

I just don't know who the target is this time?
Is he still Xu Damao?

He Yuzhu didn't think it could be anyone else.

There are only so many suitable people in the courtyard house.

The Yan family is so shrewd; they certainly wouldn't marry a daughter-in-law from a rural area.

If Yan Jiefang dared to marry Qin Jingru, Yan Bugui would absolutely dare to kill his own family for the greater good.

As for Liu Guangtian in the backyard, he also looked down on Qin Jingru. The entire Liu family was obsessed with officialdom, and Liu Haizhong would never be interested in Qin Jingru.

The others were either married or not old enough.

He Yuzhu saw Miao Jianye, thought for a moment, and then gave up.

Yi Zhonghai would absolutely not allow him to get married. Since Qin Huairu is in cahoots with Yi Zhonghai, she certainly wouldn't oppose him.

At most, she was using Qin Jingru to keep Miao Jianye on his toes and get some benefits out of him.

This is her old trick.

Qin Jingru started using this trick when she was seven or eight years old.

He Yuzhu didn't know whether Miao Jianye would fall for it.

But He Yuzhu knew that Xu Damao's grandson would most likely fall for it.

He Yuzhu passed by the Central Court without saying a word to the Qin sisters.

Qin Jingru waited until He Yuzhu entered the house before asking, "Sister, how come you have such a neighbor in your courtyard?"

He didn't say a word to his neighbors.

This isn't a case of killing one's father or stealing one's wife, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?

He probably wanted to marry you before, but you didn't like him, right?

A bitter feeling welled up in Qin Huairu's heart. She vowed that if He Yuzhu showed even the slightest intention of marrying her, she would marry him immediately without hesitation.

Unfortunately, all of this was just wishful thinking.

He wouldn't even lend her money, let alone marry her.

Even if she didn't lend it to him for free, He Yuzhu wouldn't be happy.

"You better shut up. Let me tell you, it took me a lot of effort to get an old man to agree to let you stay."

Don't cause me any trouble.

Qin Jingru said with dissatisfaction, "I know, I just wanted to ask."

Sister, seriously, did you really do something shady to the He family?

Otherwise, why would the He family refuse to acknowledge you?

Qin Huairu glared at him.

Qin Jingru quickly said, "Don't glare at me. I just want to understand."

Look, the adults in the He family are ignoring you, and even their children won't talk to you.

I'm just curious.

Qin Huai took a deep breath and suppressed her dissatisfaction.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself and would directly drive Qin Jingru away.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Qin Huai threw down what he was holding and walked towards Yi Zhonghai's room.

Qin Jingru was stunned and very puzzled. She noticed that Qin Huairu entered Yi Zhonghai's house more casually than she entered the Jia family's.

She wasn't like she was when she was little and didn't understand anything; she had some vague guesses.

He Yushui and a few others walked in from outside, chatting and laughing.

After get off work, the girls went shopping together and bought a lot of things.

Upon entering the courtyard, I was startled to suddenly see an unfamiliar figure.

Once they could clearly see Qin Jingru, they looked at each other.

They immediately saw through Qin Huairu's intentions and, with a sense of schadenfreude, prepared to watch the show.

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up when she saw the group of people. Their clothes were much more fashionable than hers.

"He Yushui, Li Pan, you're back."

The two were surprised that Qin Jingru would speak to them, and it took them a moment to react.

"Qin Jingru, come see your sister."

"Yes. Are you on holiday?" "We just got off work."

Hearing that the others had gone to work, Qin Jingru's eyes revealed deep envy.

"Do you also work in a steel rolling mill?"

"No, it's in another unit."

The group had no interest in continuing their conversation with Qin Jingru, so they all went home.

When Qin Jingru came last time, Xu Xiaoling didn't come to the courtyard and didn't recognize her.

Xu Xiaoling followed Li Pan into the house and asked, "Is she Qin Huairu's sister? She's really pretty."

I remember that Madam Jia didn't like Qin Huairu's family, so how did she manage to get her to come over?

After Li Pan put away the things the group had bought, she said, "You don't understand Qin Huairu. She must be using Qin Jingru to scheme against others."

By the way, you should go check out the backyard.

The last time she came, your brother practically adored her.

As Xu Xiaoling's younger sister, she knew Xu Damao's character all too well.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately ran to the backyard.

After Qin Huairu came out of Yi Zhonghai's room, Qin Jingru followed her into the Jia family's residence.

"Sister, are He Yushui and the others working?"

Qin Huairu said, "They've graduated from university, isn't it normal for them to have jobs?"

"Where do they work?"

"Li Pan and Xu Xiaoling are at the Industry Bureau. Why are you asking about this?"
The Industry Bureau isn't a place just anyone can get into; don't even dream about it.

Qin Jingru asked curiously, "Is the Industrial Bureau better than your steel rolling mill?"

A fleeting look of envy crossed Qin Huairu's eyes: "Of course."

If they go to inspect the steel rolling mill, our factory leaders have to accompany them.

Isn't that amazing?

Qin Jingru's eyes sparkled, filled with longing.

"By the way, what about He Yushui? I've only heard you mention Xu Xiaoling and Li Pan, but I haven't heard you mention He Yushui."

Doesn't she work at the Industry Bureau?

Qin Huai sighed: "She's not in the Industry Bureau. But her workplace is definitely better than the Industry Bureau."

"Even better than the Industry Bureau? What kind of organization is that?" Qin Jingru's curiosity grew even stronger.

Qin Huairu said, "There are many better units in Beijing than the Industrial Bureau."

None of this concerns you.

Why are you asking these questions when you only graduated from elementary school? Don't say I don't have connections to get you in; even if I did, you're not qualified.

Qin Jingru smiled awkwardly: "I was just asking. Sister, could you find me a job at your factory?"

"If I become a worker, it will be much easier for me to find a partner in the future."

Qin Huairu didn't even bother to acknowledge Qin Jingru.

She went from being a country girl to a worker; what a price she paid.

Qin Jingru didn't contribute anything, yet she still wanted to get something for nothing.

After Qin Huairu left, Madam Jia Zhang spoke up: "You want to be a worker? You should marry a capable man first."

Qin Jingru said, "I want to too. But I don't know anyone. Auntie, could you please put in a good word for me with my sister?"

Jia Zhangshi pursed her lips: "If your sister had that ability, our family would have been living a life of luxury long ago."

Do you know how much a job in a steel rolling mill is worth these days?

"How many?"

Jia Zhangshi said with a hint of pride, "At least a thousand yuan."

Qin Jing quickly did the calculations and was immediately quite frightened.

She lived in the countryside and only earned a few work points a day. Those work points were worth only a few cents.

It would take her forever to save that much money.

She didn't dare mention work because she couldn't come up with that much money.

Madam Jia didn't want to talk about this, so she said to her, "If you want to work, you have to find a way yourself. In our courtyard, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao will definitely be able to help you get a job."

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up again, and she ran into the yard to think of a solution.

Qin Huairu walked over and whispered, "Mom, what are you doing? Can Sha Zhu and Xu Damao help our family?"

Madam Jia said nonchalantly, "Let's give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, our family won't suffer any loss." (End of Chapter)
