The conspiracy of the courtyard

The Military Control Commission immediately sent someone to take Qin Erni to the hospital. After examination, it was found that she was already more than a month pregnant. The Military Control Commission followed Chen Ping's advice and did not ask any more questions.

Since all parties agreed to the substitution marriage, there was no need to keep nagging about it. They did not mention the name change and directly notified Jia Dongxu to pick her up and take her home.

As for Qin Huairu's family, they have been detained for participating in Qin Baogen's bandit organization.

"Son, how did you know about Qin Erni, no, the things that Qin Huairu is doing now? Are you just guessing? I don't believe it. I feel like you are quite mysterious and know everything. Can you really see through people's hearts?" Chen Ping had too many questions to know.

Lu Zixuan smiled and said:

“As long as you pay attention to the details of life, understand everyone’s temperament, behavior habits, expression management, etc., observe carefully and make bold guesses, you can do it too.

Didn't you notice that what I asked you to say were all questions? This is to verify the answer and confirm the guess. As for knowing so much, didn't you tell me before? Are you wondering if Qin Huairu is so scheming at such a young age? I can only say that everyone has talent.

For example, you don't need to communicate with people for a long time, but you can accurately find the strengths or advantages of this person, praise them highly, gain their favor, and get what you want. This is commonly known as being sweet-mouthed and able to get things done.

Did anyone teach you? It was just a life instinct you developed from going to various rich people's houses to beg for food for a long time.

Do you understand? It means that when you are trying to get close to someone, you should say something auspicious and nice. No one has taught you, right? But you just know how to do it. This is instinct, also called talent.

You see, when I asked her about her childhood, she frowned first, which showed that she was nervous, and clenched her fingers, which showed that she felt guilty; when she mentioned her brother, her eyes narrowed for a while, which showed contempt, and her cheeks moved slightly, which proved that she was gritting her teeth, which showed hatred.

There are many details, and you will learn them slowly. You must first learn to observe everyone's eyes. When chatting with others, try to look them straight in the face, looking at their mouth or nose first, which shows friendliness. Don't look at people's eyes right away, and staring at them is provocative.

Don't understand? I'll teach you later. This is the essence of thousands of years of experience. I've spent many years studying and only learned less than 1% of it. If you understand it all at once, I'll look so incompetent.

Don't think this is simple, there is a lot of knowledge involved, including micro-expressions, psychology, body language, and so much more. You can start by learning how girls stamp their feet, which can express anger, coquettishness, and annoyance. This is the simplest body language.

Then start adding other things, and you will understand it after observing it yourself. Haha... go home."

Hearing that Qin Huairu was pregnant, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu were so happy that Jia Zhangshi told everyone that Jia Dongxu was blessed and that the Jia family had an heir. She went to the market to buy eggs and to exchange flour with Yi Zhonghai. She was so excited that she wished the whole world would revolve around her family.

When they heard that Chen Ping's benefits at work included white flour, they started knocking on the door again, begging for money.

"Chen Ping, I heard that your street office gave everyone white flour?"

"Aunt Jia, if you don't know the etiquette of being a guest and how to knock on the door, then don't knock, just shout directly. If you keep knocking on the door like you're announcing a funeral, don't blame me for being rude to you.

Look at what you have taught Jia Dongxu. You have been in the city for quite a while, right? Don't you even know the most basic manners? Please leave. When you learn the rules of knocking on the door and the etiquette of being a guest, come to my house again. Goodbye, I won't see you off."

Chen Ping didn't want to tolerate her unreasonable behavior anymore, so she drove Jia Zhang out of the house.

It's not that Jia Zhang didn't understand, she just didn't want to understand. She wanted to tell everyone in this strong way that her family was not easy to mess with. Not bullying them was also a way of life in the war years. If she didn't want to be bullied, she would become the strong party and bully others, letting everyone know her toughness and dominance.

But her tricks that always worked didn't work at all on Chen Ping, because Chen Ping was a person who would become stronger when facing strong people and weaker when facing weak people.

Jia Zhang hesitated outside the door for a quarter of an hour before she shouted:

"Chen Ping, are you home? I'm coming in."

She was unwilling to bow her head and did it her own way. Don't you think I'm rude? I shouted, and you didn't let me in, it's your fault.

But Chen Ping wouldn't let her in, and she really didn't dare to go in. She had witnessed what happened to Yan Bugui with her own eyes, so who would dare to go in easily?

After hearing Chen Ping say "Come in", Jia Zhang came in and explained awkwardly:

"I'm sorry, I'm used to not knocking on doors in the countryside. It's like this, I heard from Lao Yi that your street office not only pays workers, but also gives them flour, right?"

Chen Ping had guessed that she would come and had already placed the flour in the office. Although she had a tendency to be a saint, she would fight to the death if anyone tried to snatch her son's food.

So he pretended to be generous and said, "Yes, we responded to the country's call and donated it to children in need. We adults don't need too much nutrition, and children's throats are so thin, how can they swallow corn flour?"

Jia Zhang was the type who only listened to what she wanted to hear, and nothing else mattered. She smiled and said, "Isn't Huairu pregnant? I just wanted to exchange some with you to give her some more nutrition. I don't want my grandson to suffer, right?"

Chen Ping nodded in agreement. "Yes, you are right. We should increase nutrition for pregnant women. Let me ask my colleagues if they can't use it for the time being. I will exchange some for you. How much do you want? What's the price? I can talk to them."

When Jia Zhang heard about the price, she was a little reluctant: "Well, I don't know what the price is. It will be troublesome if it's more or less. You pay it first, and I'll send the money to you later. Is that okay? We are neighbors, so I won't give you less."

Chen Ping thought about it and suggested: "How about this? I won't pay for you. I'll let him talk to you, so that we don't have conflicts between neighbors because of this little thing. What do you think?"

Seeing that Chen Ping would not suffer any loss, Jia Zhang changed her words:

"Chen Ping, look at these neighbors, there's nothing to laugh at. To tell you the truth, after we got married, we didn't have much money left.

Can you help me first? You don't need it. When the child grows up, I'll give him more gifts during the Chinese New Year. Is that okay? If it weren't really difficult, I wouldn't ask you for this."

Chen Ping shook her head. "Aunt Jia, you don't understand what I mean. I mean, I don't want to get involved in your family affairs, understand? I don't want to get involved in anyone else's family affairs. If you are really in trouble, you can ask Master Yi for help.

According to Gong, he is the manager of this courtyard and should help needy families solve their problems.

Personally, he is the master of your Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu is your apprentice, and Yi Zhonghai has the responsibility and obligation to help you raise him."

Jia Zhang pretended to understand and said:

"There is such a saying? I just found out. You don't want to help me, is it because of Lao Yi? In this way, you can let me use your welfare temporarily. It won't take too long, and you can use it until Huairu gives birth. After all, it's issued by the government, and you didn't spend any money.

Next time Lao Yi causes trouble for you, I will definitely stand on your side. At the very least, I will be able to support you, right?

You've dealt with Lao Yi a few times. Look at the poor families you take care of every day. Who has stood up to speak for you? No matter how good you are to them, it's all in vain. At least I can remember your kindness, don't you think?"
