Seeing her cold attitude, Xu Damao didn't say anything more, so he smiled and left. Qin Huairu looked at his back, feeling helpless and angry. She knew that a man like Xu Damao would only become more and more aggressive. But she also knew that she could only endure her current situation.

One day, after get off work, Qin Huairu found that there was little food left at home. She felt nervous, thinking that the children still needed to eat, so she decided to shamelessly go to Xu Damao to ask for more food coupons.

She came to Xu Damao's office and knocked on the door gently. Xu Damao looked up and saw that it was her, and a smug smile appeared on his face: "Huai Ru, what's the matter?"

Qin Huairu whispered, "Director Xu, we don't have enough food at home. Can you give me some more food coupons?"

Xu Damao stood up with a smile and walked in front of her: "Of course, Huairu, it's not difficult. But you know, everything has a back and forth."

Qin Huairu's heart tightened, and she suppressed her discomfort and asked in a low voice: "Director Xu, what do you mean by back and forth?"

Xu Damao chuckled and reached out to gently touch Qin Huairu's hand: "You are a smart person, you should understand what I mean."

Qin Huairu just felt uncomfortable all over. She knew she had no choice. For the sake of her family, she could only endure it. She nodded and forced a smile: "I understand, Director Xu."

Xu Damao nodded with satisfaction and handed her a few food coupons. "Huai Ru, don't worry. I will help you as long as you need it. You have to remember that we are friends."

Qin Huairu took the food coupons with mixed feelings. She tried to hold back the tears in her eyes and whispered, "Thank you, Director Xu. I will remember it."

After returning home, Qin Huairu put the food coupons on the table and sighed. She knew that she had to endure these humiliations for the sake of her family. She told herself that as long as she could hold on, everything would be fine.

In the following days, Qin Huairu continued to work in the factory and tried to avoid contact with Xu Damao. However, she knew that Xu Damao would not let her go easily. Every time she saw him, she felt uneasy and disgusted.

That day, Qin Huairu was busy working when she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her: "Huairu, how have you been lately?"

Qin Huairu looked back and saw that it was Xu Damao. He walked up to her and looked at her with ambiguous eyes. Qin Huairu felt disgusted, but still forced a smile: "Thank you Director Xu for your concern, I'm fine."

Xu Damao nodded with satisfaction, then moved closer, his voice becoming more ambiguous: "Huai Ru, you know, women as beautiful as you are rare in the factory. If you need anything, whether it's work or life, as long as you ask, I'm willing to help."

Qin Huairu suppressed her disgust and forced a smile: "Thank you, Director Xu, I will."

Seeing her cold attitude, Xu Damao didn't say anything more, so he smiled and left. Qin Huairu looked at his back, feeling helpless and angry. She knew that a man like Xu Damao would only become more and more aggressive. But she also knew that she could only endure her current situation.

As the days passed, Qin Huairu still worked hard in the factory to support her family. However, the humiliation and anger in her heart did not ease, but became heavier as time went by.

One day, Qin Huairu came home from get off work and saw her children playing in the yard with happy smiles on their faces. She felt warm in her heart and felt that all her patience and efforts were worth it. For the sake of her children, she was willing to endure everything.

However, at this moment, Xu Damao suddenly appeared in front of her. He looked at Qin Huairu with a smile, his eyes flashing with ill intentions: "Huairu, how have you been recently?"

Qin Huairu's heart tightened, and she suppressed her discomfort and whispered, "Director Xu, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."

Xu Damao smiled, walked closer, and whispered, "Huai Ru, I have good news to tell you. There is a promotion opportunity in the factory recently, and I think you are very suitable."

Qin Huairu was surprised and nervous when she heard this. She knew that such an opportunity was very rare, but she also knew that Xu Damao would never give her such an opportunity for no reason.

"Director Xu, is the promotion opportunity you mentioned true?" Qin Huairu asked cautiously.

Xu Damao nodded and said with a smile: "Of course it's true. As long as you are willing, I can help you get this opportunity. However, you also know that such a good thing does not come for free."

Qin Huairu's heart sank. She knew what Xu Damao meant. She was full of contradictions and struggles, but for the future of her children, she finally nodded: "Thank you, Director Xu. I will work hard."

Xu Damao nodded with satisfaction, then reached out and gently stroked Qin Huairu's hand: "Huairu, don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I will definitely let you live a good life."

Qin Huairu suppressed her disgust and forced a smile: "Thank you, Director Xu. I will remember it."

After returning home, Qin Huairu looked at the happy faces of the children, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She knew that she had to endure these humiliations and grievances for the sake of the children. She told herself that as long as she could hold on, everything would be fine.

As the days passed, Qin Huairu still worked hard in the factory to support her family. The humiliation and anger in her heart did not diminish, but she also learned to live strong under these pressures.

She knows that as long as she perseveres, she can overcome any difficulties and challenges for the sake of her children's future. She believes that one day, she will have her own happiness and hope.

On a summer night in the courtyard, the wind blew gently, and the leaves rustled. Qin Huairu was busy in the yard, sorting out the freshly washed clothes. She was in a good mood, but suddenly she heard some low voices, and her name was faintly mixed in. She stopped what she was doing and listened attentively.

Several women sat in a corner, lowering their voices, but their words were full of malice and contempt. "Have you heard that Qin Huairu has been a bit unfaithful to her husband recently, hanging out with that idiot Zhu every day, and not avoiding suspicion." A woman whispered with a disdainful expression on her face.

"Yeah, no wonder people say the man in her family died early. I guess there's a reason for that." Another woman continued, her words full of sarcasm.

Qin Huairu's heart tightened when she heard this, and the clothes in her hands fell to the ground. She immediately bent down to pick them up and tried to calm herself down. She knew very well how easy it was for rumors to spread in this courtyard, and how difficult it was to refute them.
