Siheyuan: Seventeen-year-old He Yuzhu

When Xu Damao heard her shouting for help, his face changed. If someone really came, he would not be able to explain himself clearly, and he could not let the old lady escape now.

He stuffed the cloth back into the woman's mouth.

His mind was racing, trying to come up with a statement that would persuade the aunt not to worry and not tell Yi Zhonghai about what happened today. He would wait for a chance to take Yi Zhonghai down in one fell swoop.

Xu Damao said, "Auntie, please stop shouting."

"It's for your own good that I don't untie you."

"Think about it, Yi Zhonghai is just out for a while. If I untie it for you, he will definitely come looking for you when he comes back and finds out."

"And you can't run far in such a short time. It's easy for him to find you. At that time, he will definitely treat you worse. Maybe he will not only lock you up."

"Can you accept this result?"

After listening to this, the aunt thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true. She was persuaded by Xu Damao, but she was still anxious because she couldn't let me be tied up forever.

Xu Damao seemed to understand her worries and said, "Auntie, please bear with me for a while. Keep it as it is for now. When Yi Zhonghai comes back, don't tell him that I was here."

"Don't alert him."

"After I go back, I will find a chance to tell the second and third uncles about this matter, and then gather all the people in the yard to come together. At that time, it will be equivalent to catching the person red-handed, and Yi Zhonghai will not be able to deny it at all."

"You will be saved."

"After this, Yi Zhonghai will definitely not dare to cause trouble for you again."

When the aunt heard this, she thought it was a good idea and nodded in agreement.

Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally fooled the old lady.

He went on to say, "Auntie, Yi Zhonghai will be back soon, so I'll leave first."

"You must remember what I said and don't tell Yi Zhonghai about this."

"Trust me, it won't be long before I can get you out safely."

The aunt nodded expectantly.

Xu Damao left the inner room, locked the door, then left Yi Zhonghai's house and locked the outer door as well.

It's like it's never been opened.

......

As evening approached, Yi Zhonghai walked back with a satisfied look on his face and light steps.

He recalled everything that happened this afternoon and felt it was as beautiful as a dream.

It seems like I'm back to my youth.

Qin Huairu, this woman is really good.

I'll come more often in the future.

He even thought, the rumors outside that my health is not good and I can't have children, I think they are all false.

The reason why I haven’t been able to have children for so many years must be because of this old lady.

This time, I am having an affair with Qin Huairu. Maybe she can get pregnant with my child.

Qin Huairu has been pregnant before, so her body must be fine.

If she is really pregnant with my child, then let her divorce Jia Dongxu and I will support her.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't stop smiling as he imagined the future scenes.

He opened the door and went to the inner room. He saw that everything was normal. But he took one look at the aunt and felt disgusted.

How can this woman be compared with Qin Huairu? I used to be so nice to her.

You just stay in the house quietly.

After a long while, Qin Huairu came back from outside. She was holding vegetables in her hands, as if she had just come back from buying vegetables, and her face was full of satisfaction.

It’s unexpected that Yi Zhonghai is still in good health at this age. He is better than Jia Dongxu before, and much better than Xu Damao and the mistresses I found outside.

It made my legs weak.

Yi Zhonghai also gave her some money, saying it was for her to buy medicine, but in fact he just wanted her not to spread the matter.

Qin Huairu naturally accepted it with peace of mind.

Give me money, why not?

When I got home, Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang had already woken up.

Jia Dongxu sat at the table, drinking.

Jia Zhang was sitting on the bed, sewing the soles of her shoes.

They all felt groggy, as if they had not woken up yet.

This isn’t right. I’ve been sleeping soundly these past few nights and even took a nap today, so why do I still feel this way?

Jia Dongxu thought that it might be because he drank every day and never sobered up, so he stopped thinking about it and continued drinking.

Jia Zhang was very alert. She felt that there was definitely something wrong with this matter.

When I woke up this afternoon, I didn't see Qin Huairu.

Thinking about it again, it was usually her and Jia Dongxu who went to bed first, and she had no idea when Qin Huairu went to bed.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that there is something wrong with Qin Huairu.

Jia Zhang went to the place where she hid the money and saw that the money was still there safely and had not been touched by anyone. She breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't touch the money, so why did she do that?

Jia Zhang couldn't understand it, and she didn't say anything.

It’s hard to say about this matter. Maybe I just felt sleepy these days, so I slept so deeply. It’s not Qin Huairu’s fault.

She decided to observe Qin Huairu carefully first to see if she could find out anything fishy.

Seeing Qin Huairu coming back with the dishes as usual, there seemed to be nothing special.

However, Jia Zhang felt that there was something wrong with Qin Huairu. There was nothing special about her behavior, but her condition was different from before.

Qin Huairu seems to be in a good mood now, full of energy, as if there is some good news.

This is very wrong.

Jia Zhang secretly took note and continued to observe.

At dinner, she ate as much as before, but Qin Huairu was only eating the steamed buns and didn't eat any vegetables. There was no expression of dissatisfaction on her face, instead she seemed a little happy.

She suddenly realized a possibility: there might be something wrong with the food.

I wonder if Qin Huairu put any medicine in it.

So Jia Dongxu and I ate our food and fell into a deep sleep, while Qin Huairu was fine.

She couldn't eat anymore all of a sudden, and when she thought about how much she had just eaten and how she had been tricked, her face instantly turned ugly.

He put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

Jia Dongxu was drinking and eating happily. He became even happier when he saw that Jia Zhangshi stopped eating.

She eats the most at every meal.

Now that she doesn't eat anymore, all the food is mine.

He moved his chopsticks quickly, picking up food continuously and eating with big mouthfuls.

When Jia Zhang saw Jia Dongxu's look, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she finally held back and did not remind him.

Even if there is really a problem, just sleep a little longer and it will be fine.

If I say it now, it will definitely alert Qin Huairu.

I must take a good look at what Qin Huairu is trying to do behind our backs by making us sleep so deeply every day.

Qin Huairu was a little confused when she saw that Jia Zhangshi stopped eating. She was the one who ate the most in the past, so why did she change her temper today?
