Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The Jia family naturally heard the news from outside.

Madam Jia's face was ashen as she glared at Qin Huairu.

Bang Geng didn't give Qin Huairu a friendly look either.

Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua hid to the side, not daring to speak.

Qin Huairu, on the other hand, continued to solve problems by crying.

"Mom, what exactly happened? Why did you go to see that old bastard Yi Zhonghai in the middle of the night?"

Ultimately, the young pheasant was the first to speak up and launch an attack.

Qin Huairu looked up at Jia Zhangshi, hoping she could speak up for her.

The plan to trick Yi Zhonghai into spending money was something the two of them discussed together.

She went to Yi Zhonghai in the middle of the night to ask for money, which was also with Jia Zhangshi's tacit approval.

But Jia Zhangshi remained unmoved and even showed a look of disdain.

Madam Jia wasn't stupid; how could she possibly admit to something so shameful?

Helpless, Qin Huairu could only cry and explain, "Do you think I wanted this?"
You need to eat meat, going out costs money, and Xiaodang needs to pay tuition. With so many expenses, what can I do?
I had no choice but to swallow my pride and beg others.

In our courtyard, only one old man is willing to help me. If I don't ask him, who else can I ask?
I would like to ask Sha Zhu for help, but would he help our family?
From childhood to adulthood, when has Sha Zhu ever taken care of you?

Only one old man was willing to help our family.

He only earns thirty-five yuan a month now.

If I don't beg him, where will the money come from?

You only spend five yuan a day when you go out to play.

Don't you ever think about how much I earn in a month?

The money I earn in a month isn't even enough for you to spend in a week.

what can I do?
Woohoo..."

Qin Huairu's words left Bang Geng speechless.

He sat silently to the side, just like Jia Dongxu had back then.

Only then did Madam Jia speak up: "Alright, stop talking. It wasn't easy for your mother to support this family."

Eat quickly, and then go do whatever you need to do.

With Jia Zhangshi speaking up, Bang Geng stopped asking about the matter.

He finished his meal in a few bites and got up to go out.

He originally wanted to ask Qin Huairu for money, but after glancing at her twice, he didn't dare to say it.

Xiao Dang quickly finished eating, grabbed her schoolbag, and went to school.

Little Locust Flower was left all alone. Not daring to stay inside, she ran out to the yard to play by herself.

The children in the courtyard had all been told by their families not to play with the Jia family's children.

So after Xiao Dang started school, she felt particularly lonely.

Only then did Madam Jia speak, asking Qin Huairu, "What did you do with Yi Zhonghai last night? How did you manage to cause such a commotion?"

This was something that Jia Zhangshi particularly couldn't understand.

If the two of them were having an affair and someone heard them and broke in and caught them, she could understand.

However, because the two were playing too wildly and making too much noise, they were trapped inside the house, which is incomprehensible.

She couldn't understand how something could cause such a commotion.

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi mention this, Qin Huairu felt a surge of fear.

When she got home last night, she didn't dare close her eyes at all.

Although it was dark inside, there were many flashlights outside, so we could still see some movement inside.

The scene of that chair flying into the air and then crashing heavily to the ground is still flashing through her mind.

"Mom, I've only been in Uncle's house for a few minutes, and I haven't even finished talking. What can I possibly do?"

Madam Jia clearly didn't believe it: "Could talking make such a big noise?"

Qin Huairu's face turned deathly pale: "Mom, do you believe me? I saw it with my own eyes. Uncle's table suddenly disappeared and then fell from the sky."

Madam Jia was first startled, then somewhat angry. She was the ancestor of the spirit summoning ritual; it would be one thing if Qin Huai made up other lies, but he dared to use this one to deceive her.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not making this up. Everything I said is true," Qin Huairu said very seriously.

Madam Jia said disdainfully, "If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. I'm asking you, do you really want to marry Yi Zhonghai?"

Qin Huairu saw that Jia Zhangshi didn't believe him, but there was nothing he could do. No one would believe such a thing if he told them.

Even if you say it out loud, you might be reported for promoting feudal superstition.

That's why she didn't say anything last night.

"I was just trying to fool Sha-zhu. I never thought about remarrying and I would never do anything to betray Dong-wook."

When Jia Dongxu was mentioned, Qin Huairu's eyes were filled with fear.

She believes that Jia Dongxu was responsible for what happened last night.

When Madam Jia heard that Qin Huairu was unwilling to remarry, she was relieved. The Jia family was currently being supported by Qin Huairu, and she would also rely on Qin Huairu for her old age.

She could tolerate Qin Huairu doing anything, except for remarrying.

"It's good that you think that way. Bang Geng will be an adult soon. He'll be looking for a partner soon. As his mother, you can't remarry."

Qin Huairu nodded: "Don't worry, I won't remarry."

She added to herself, "Even if I remarry, I will not marry Yi Zhonghai."

With her beauty, she has too many men to choose from, and she wouldn't even look at that stingy old man, Yi Zhonghai.

If Yi Zhonghai had given her the money readily, she wouldn't have needed to go to him in the middle of the night, and she wouldn't have been discovered.

Jia Zhangshi said, "You should avoid Yi Zhonghai for now, and we'll talk about it after things have calmed down."

Qin Huairu thought the same way, so she didn't send breakfast to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai went to work hungry. He was very unhappy to see Qin Huairu avoiding him.

However, many people on the street looked at him with strange eyes, and he didn't dare to go to Qin Huairu.

Some of the bolder ones even deliberately asked Yi Zhonghai when he was getting married.

The entire steel rolling mill was talking about this.

Liu Lan came to find He Yuzhu, wanting to get firsthand information.

He Yuzhu told her directly, and then instructed, "Have your sisters help make this marriage happen."

Liu Lan asked, "Why? If you let Yi Zhonghai marry Qin Huairu, wouldn't that be giving Yi Zhonghai an easy advantage?"

He Yuzhu explained, "Since Yi Zhonghai married Qin Huairu, he can no longer ask others to help Qin Huairu."

From now on, the responsibility of taking care of Qin Huairu will fall entirely on him.

Only by binding them both together can I live a comfortable life.

Liu Lan pouted and quickly ran out.

Gossip is all about timeliness; if you say it even a minute late, it's outdated news.

It would be too embarrassing to talk about things that others already know.

As a top figure in the gossip world, Liu Lan absolutely will not allow anyone to beat her to it.

Soon the factory leaders also found out.

Li Huaide came specifically to He Yuzhu to inquire about the situation. He was greatly relieved to receive confirmation from He Yuzhu.

"It would be good if the two of them got married."

He Yuzhu could see the relief in his heart. His past relationship with Qin Huairu was the thing Li Huaide regretted most.

"Then you should hint to the leaders of the Women's Federation and the Trade Union to have a heart-to-heart talk with them."

Li Huaide adopted He Yuzhu's suggestion and went back to instruct the two departments to have heart-to-heart talks with Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu respectively.

In an effort to mitigate the negative impact, the neighborhood committee also visited the courtyard and spoke with the two individuals separately.

During this period, Qin Huairu neither brought Yi Zhonghai meals nor washed his clothes.

They claimed it was to avoid suspicion.

But Yi Zhonghai didn't think so.

In Yi Zhonghai's view, the innocent will remain innocent.

Others can avoid suspicion, but Qin Huairu shouldn't.

He gave Qin Huairu money and they agreed to have dinner together. For Qin Huairu to do this is unfilial.

He turned to look for Yan Bugui, wanting to have dinner with the Yan family.

However, Yan Bugui, fearing He Yuzhu's targeting, did not agree. He even advised Yi Zhonghai to simply marry Qin Huairu.

After much persuasion, Yi Zhonghai was tempted. (End of Chapter)
