Just as He Yuzhu was on his way to Jia's house, Xu Damao's father Xu Fugui stopped him.

"Pillar?"

He Yuzhu heard the news and turned his head to look over.

Seeing that it was really He Yuzhu, Xu Fugui immediately went up to him and started chatting with him.

"Zhu Zi, it's really you. Why are you back? Didn't our Damao come back with you?"

In response to Xu Fugui's question, He Yuzhu explained directly,

"Uncle Xu, Damao didn't come back with me this time. He stayed in Jingzhou for the New Year."

Xu Fugui nodded after hearing He Yuzhu's answer and continued to ask, "Zhuzi, how is our Damao now? This brat has been gone for almost a year and he didn't even send a letter home. We old couple are so worried."

He Yuzhu heard this and immediately said,

"Uncle Xu, don't worry, Damao is doing well now and is already a public official, but due to the special nature of the department, there are some things I cannot disclose.

Anyway, your Damao is pretty good."

Hearing this, Xu Fugui looked at He Yuzhu with gratitude.

"Zhu Zi, our Damao's achievements are definitely inseparable from your help and support. I didn't expect that our Xu family could produce an official. Please accept my greetings."

Facing Xu Fugui's actions, He Yuzhu immediately helped him up.

"Uncle Xu, what are you doing? We are from the same compound. It is my duty to help Damao. Besides, Damao is a good person."

When Xu Fugui heard He Yuzhu say that his son was a good man, he was a little confused. He didn't understand why He Yuzhu said that, but he didn't think much about it.

After a brief greeting, the two separated.

After saying goodbye to Xu Fugui, He Yuzhu went straight to the Jia family. At the door, he saw a young man helping Jia Zhang fetch water.

He Yuzhu recognized at a glance that the young man was Jia Banggeng, the eldest son of Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu.

If there are three worst people in the entire courtyard, in He Yuzhu's mind, the first one is the beast Jia Banggeng!

The second is Yi Zhonghai, the “God of Morality”.

Then there is the "considerate" Qin Huairu.

Although this He Yuzhu is not that He Yuzhu, the feeling of empathy makes him subconsciously feel disgust and resistance towards people like them.

At this time, the sharp-eyed Jia Zhang saw He Yuzhu's sudden visit and choked with an unpleasant look on her face.

"Hey, isn't this Shazhu? What are you doing in our house? You are not welcome here."

When He Yuzhu heard what Jia Zhang said, he was neither angry nor annoyed, he just stood there calmly.

When Qin Huairu, who was in the house, heard the noise coming from her mother-in-law outside the door, she immediately came out holding Jia Huaihua in her arms.

When she saw that the person coming was He Yuzhu, her expression was very complicated.

When He Yuzhu saw the baby in Qin Huairu's arms, the first thing he thought of was the child of that dead guy Jia Dongxu. According to the time calculation, it should be Xiaodang's sister Huaihua. He really didn't expect that these three shameless little ones were born.

Then He Yuzhu took the lead in explaining his purpose.

"Sister Qin, how are you these days?"

Qin Huairu nodded immediately after hearing He Yuzhu's concern, and replied,

"It's ok. How is your family?"

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Well, it's not bad. I just happened to be passing by our 49th city this time, so I stopped by to take a look at the Siheyuan."

When Jia Zhang heard what He Yuzhu said, she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Huai Ru, this He is not a good person. Let's not waste time talking to him. I think he just came to our house to show off."

Jia Zhang's words made He Yuzhu look a little unhappy. He immediately retorted, "Zhang Cuihua, what do you mean? I came here to find my sister Qin, not to find you. Where is your son Jia Dongxu? Why can't I see him?"

He Yuzhu's words made Qin Huairu look very ugly, and she stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Zhang Cuihua, who was standing by, heard this and angrily scolded, "He, you are talking about something else. Where my son is is none of your business."

Qin Huairu saw that her mother-in-law and He Yuzhu were about to quarrel, so she immediately took the lead and took her mother-in-law Zhang Cuihua's hand and came into the house.

"Mom, go back to your room and rest first. There's no need to quarrel with He Yuzhu. I want to talk to He Yuzhu alone. Is that okay with you?"

When Jia Zhang heard her daughter-in-law's request, she unexpectedly did not object, but nodded in agreement.

Because Jia Zhang had her own plans. She knew that since her son Jia Dongxu passed away, the entire Jia family was nominally under the control of her as the elder, but in reality, the one who would rely on was her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu.

For this reason, she did not dare to disobey her wishes too much. She still had to rely on others to take care of her in her old age, so she just went along with Qin Huairu's request.

She is so smart...

Qin Huairu then handed Jia Huaihua in her arms to Jia Zhangshi, and then went straight out of the house.

She looked at He Yuzhu in front of her with a complicated expression.

"Zhu Zi, there are no outsiders here now, just say whatever you want to say."

Seeing Qin Huairu speak directly to the point, He Yuzhu stated his purpose.

"Sister Qin, to be honest, I just came to see if you are okay on behalf of my father. I feel relieved to see that you are okay."

In fact, He Yuzhu lied. His father, He Daqing, the old pervert, had long forgotten about Qin Huairu since he got together with Bai Mudan. He was the typical kind of person who would not recognize any relatives after he had put on his pants.

The reason why He Yuzhu said this was to get close to Qin Huairu and win her favor.

When Qin Huairu heard He Yuzhu mention his father He Daqing, a blush appeared on her pretty face.

"Zhu Zi, go back and tell your father that I am doing fine recently. If I have the chance, I will go to see him."

He Yuzhu nodded upon hearing this.

"OK, all right.

By the way, Sister Qin, on the way here I heard the neighbors were all saying that your husband Jia Dongxu had died. Is this true? I remember your husband was in good health. How could he die for no reason? Was he sick? Or what?"

If someone else asked this question, Qin Huairu would definitely curse without hesitation, but He Yuzhu was different. He knew that the other person really cared about him.

After all, she had a brief romance with his father He Daqing. If she didn't have a man, she would probably be He Yuzhu's stepmother.

Facing He Yuzhu's question, she sighed helplessly, then slowly began to explain the reason.

"Zhu Zi, it's a long story. Dong Xu was trying to protect me, but he had a conflict with some local evil forces and met with an unexpected disaster."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he was quite shocked and couldn't help asking,

"Sister Qin, this shouldn't be the case. I remember your man has a backer named Liu Kai. How could something like this happen?"
