Lin Jingyuan gave Lü Changwei some instructions, then got into the car and they went to Lin Zhijie's place together.

The Li family warmly welcomed Lü Changwei.

Lu Changwei was very satisfied with the marriage and began to introduce himself.

"I'm about to be transferred to civilian work. Because of my outstanding performance, my job assignment was specially improved when I transferred."

I will serve as the deputy director of the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau in the future.

The bureau will assign me a house. I plan to choose one nearby.

His meaning was quite clear: this was to make it easier for Li Pan to visit her parents' home in the future.

Outside, Yi Zhonghai and a few others gathered together.

"This is outrageous. Such a big thing as a blind date, and they didn't even report it to us three old men."

Liu Haizhong was summoned over and heard the news, which immediately made him extremely angry.

Yi Zhonghai and the others didn't think he was wrong; on the contrary, they all agreed.

However, they wouldn't be as foolish as Liu Haizhong to say it out loud.

Yi Zhonghai said, "Old Yan, did you hear those two talking at the door just now? What are their backgrounds?"

Yan Bugui said, "Old Yi, he's a soldier. The aura he exudes is like someone who's killed people. How could I dare to get close?"

"You saw it yourself, why didn't you go up and ask?"

Liu Haizhong was in the backyard, unaware of the news. Seeing the two men's timid expressions, he couldn't help but laugh.

"You two are too cowardly. So what if they have a powerful aura?"

Do you think soldiers would dare to beat up ordinary people like us?

Yan Bugui said, "You'll see for yourself when that soldier comes out of the Li family's house."

Liu Haizhong retorted defiantly, "Let me take a look. I've seen the world, how could I be scared by a soldier?"

Yan Bugui not only failed to persuade Liu Haizhong, but also said a few provocative things to him.

Yi Zhonghai naturally understood Yan Bugui's purpose, but he did not point it out.

He also wanted Liu Haizhong to go out and test the waters.

"By the way, Lao Yan, Miao Jianye didn't come out. Is no one home at his house?"

Yan Bugui said, "They went out early this morning on Sha Zhu's bicycle."

Oh, and they took a lot of things with them; they must be going back to their hometown.

The three of them looked grim when their hometown was mentioned.

Their experience in Tongzhou had already spread throughout the surrounding area. Many people teased them about it.

Qin Huairu exclaimed "Ah!" and her face turned somewhat pale.

Yi Zhonghai asked, "Huai Ru, what's wrong?"

Qin Huairu was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. She was also going back to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

However, I spent half the night discussing things with Yi Zhonghai yesterday and forgot about going back to my parents' home.

It can't be said that I've forgotten.

The main reason is that she doesn't really want to go back.

Now that there are no suckers around, she'll have to use her own savings when she goes back to her parents' home.

She couldn't bear to take too much.

If I take too little, my sister-in-law from my maternal family will gossip.

"I was so busy watching the fun that I forgot I was supposed to go back to my parents' home."

This matter cannot be kept secret any longer.

Everyone lives in the same courtyard, so it's easy to tell who's home and who isn't.

The Jia family doesn't need to entertain guests on the second day of the Lunar New Year; Qin Huairu usually goes back to her parents' home on the second day.

Everyone's attention is now focused on the Li family's matchmaking event, and no one is paying attention to her.

But she will soon be noticed.

Yi Zhonghai was actually not happy about Qin Huairu returning to her parents' home.

He hoped that Qin Huairu would be filial, but the one who should be filial is himself, not Qin Huairu's family.

If Qin Huai were to become too close to her family, her status as a neighbor would diminish.

But I can only think about it; I absolutely cannot say it.

Never let him say anything unfilial.

Liu Haizhong, unaware of those details, said, "I remember there are buses in the city that go to your parents' house. If you pack now, you can still make it in time." Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai pitifully, wanting to go back to the house with him to discuss going back to her parents' house to buy things.

However, Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to spend the money and pretended not to understand.

Helpless, Qin Huairu could only console herself by paying Yi Zhonghai the money first. She would settle the score with Yi Zhonghai after he received his salary.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to delay and went home to pack her things.

When Jia Zhangshi saw her packing her things, she immediately became dissatisfied.

"What are you going to do? Where are you taking your things from home?"

Qin Huairu explained, "I need to go back to my parents' home. If I don't go back, my father will bring my family here. You don't want them to come either, do you?"

Jia Zhangshi naturally did not want to.

Every time Qin Huairu's family comes to visit, they lose face along with them.

It's one thing to be embarrassed, but the Jia family doesn't have a good reputation in the neighborhood anyway.

What pained Jia Zhangshi was that the family needed to entertain Qin Huairu's family members.

Those people eat too much.

“Everything in the house is reserved for Banggeng. You, as his mother, should think of Banggeng, if not the family.”

That's unnecessary talk.

Qin Huairu didn't want to bring anything back to her parents' home. But what could she do?
She needs to maintain her image as a dutiful daughter-in-law and cannot ignore her family.

"Hey Banggeng, do you want to come to your grandpa's house with Mom?"

Madam Jia immediately retorted, "You filthy wretch, what do you think you're doing? Bang Geng is a member of the Jia family, what does he have to do with the Qin family?"

Even the stalker wasn't willing to go.

He had only seen his maternal grandfather a few times; those people were strangers to him.

Moreover, from a young age, Jia Zhangshi taught him that those people were poor relatives of the Jia family.

Qin Huairu did not insist, mainly because she was reluctant to spend the money on the train ticket.

Seeing Qin Huairu return to her parents' home, Yi Zhonghai started to promote her again.

"Huai Ru is truly filial. Even with such difficulties at home, she still thinks about her parents' home."

Liu Haizhong's expression suddenly turned rather unpleasant. He angrily got up and left.

His eldest son didn't even come back when he was down on his luck, so it's no wonder he couldn't be happy.

Yan Bugui's face was also pale. His son looked the same. Yan Jiefang hadn't returned for over a month.

At this point, bringing up filial piety with the two of them is like rubbing salt into their hearts.

Looking at Liu Haizhong's retreating figure, Yi Zhonghai said, "Look at him. He loses his temper at the drop of a hat, as if he's still the leader of the workers' picket team."

Yan Bugui felt the same way as Liu Haizhong, so he spoke up for Liu Haizhong.

"Alright, Lao Yi, stop mentioning how filial Qin Huairu is to you. She only goes back to her parents' home a few times a year, and every time she does, you have to give her a piece of your mind."

Yi Zhonghai was displeased and said, "Old Yan, how can you talk like that?"

Do you know how important Huai Ru's filial piety is to us?

Yan Bugui said, "I didn't see that. Even if she is very filial, she is only filial to Jia Zhangshi, and at most to you as well."

"Old Liu and I don't need her to be filial."

Yi Zhonghai sneered, a laugh that sent chills down Yan Bugui's spine.

"What, am I right?"

Yi Zhonghai snorted: "You just think that because you have many children, they will be filial to you in the future, right?"
But look at how they treat you during the Chinese New Year.

Do you think they will change their minds and become filial to you in the future?
Stop dreaming!

Compared to Huairu, they are far inferior.

Yan Bugui was somewhat angry. Yi Zhonghai's words were practically a direct statement that he would have no one to support him in his old age.

For him, this was an utter disgrace.

People without sons have no one to take care of them in their old age.

"Only you would treat Qin Huai like a treasure."

Yi Zhonghai said proudly, "Huai Ru has always been a good child."

How many people can be so filial to a wicked mother-in-law?

Only Huai Ru can.

Old Yan, I'm putting this out there: Huairu is destined to be the only filial child in our compound. (End of Chapter)
