Qin Huairu knew that if she wanted to pay back the money, she would have to rely on Yi Zhonghai's help. So she told him everything she had just said to him, and at the end, she asked anxiously, "Uncle Yi, can you tell me what to do about this? You have a wide network of contacts and many ideas, so you have to show me a way forward."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes turned, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Isn't this a good opportunity? You are Qin Jingru's cousin, and I am He Yuzhu's uncle Yi. We have a very close relationship. When the time comes, we can go to his house under the pretext of celebrating for He Yuzhu. It will be lively and he will still have the nerve to chase us away and ask you for money?"

After hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes lit up. She thought it was a good idea and a smile immediately appeared on her face. She said, "Uncle Yi, this is a great idea! I'll prepare a bottle of wine and have some fun. But I really don't have money to buy wine now. Uncle Yi, you see..." As she spoke, she looked at Yi Zhonghai with expectant eyes.

Yi Zhonghai knew that he couldn't afford it without paying. In desperation, he took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu was about to mention that she owed He Yuzhu money, hoping that Yi Zhonghai could help her a little more, but Yi Zhonghai seemed to see through her thoughts and said hurriedly, "I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to do, so I have to leave first." After that, he left in a hurry.

Qin Huairu was helpless and couldn't think of anything else to say, so she could only turn around and walk back silently. As she walked, she secretly thought that maybe one day He Yuzhu would be in a good mood and stop asking her about the money she owed him. Thinking of this, she unconsciously showed a smile of expectation on her face, and her steps became lighter, and she walked happily towards home.

Time passed quietly in silence, and a night passed in a flash. The morning sun gently sprinkled on the courtyard, awakening the sleeping people. He Yuzhu got up early, packed up carefully, and then took He Yushui and walked excitedly towards He Feng's residence.

The two men came to He Feng's door. He Yuzhu raised his hand and knocked gently on the door, shouting, "Uncle, are you up?" His voice was full of uncontrollable excitement.

He Feng opened the door sleepily, looked at the energetic He Yuzhu and He Yushui, and said with a puzzled look: "What's wrong with you two so early in the morning? You come here so early."

He Yuzhu grinned and said, "Uncle, you have a good memory. Didn't we agree that today we should celebrate the relationship between Qin Jingru and me?"

He Feng suddenly realized it and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Yeah, if you hadn't told me I would have forgotten it, look at my brain. Okay, I remember it, don't worry, you two."

He Yuzhu was just about to say something else when he saw Ma Xin walking towards him with a smile on her face, carrying bags of things.

As soon as He Yushui saw Ma Xin, she felt inexplicably unhappy. Her woman's intuition told her that this Ma Xin had a special relationship with her uncle. She frowned slightly, looked at Ma Xin, and asked with a hint of coldness in her tone, "Why are you here?"

Ma Xin was somewhat overwhelmed by this sudden hostility, but she still smiled politely and said, "I just heard that there was a celebration today, so I came here to join in the fun."

He Feng saw He Yushui's little mood, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Zhu Zi, this is my friend Ma Xin. Since today is the day for you and Qin Jingru to celebrate, doesn't it seem a bit lonely for our family alone? So I asked Ma Xin to come over to have some fun together."

He Yushui wanted to say something else, but He Yuzhu was overjoyed. In his opinion, this Ma Xin might be his uncle's girlfriend. It would be great if his uncle could have a companion. He smiled and said, "Uncle, what are you talking about? It's best for the family to be together and have fun. More people means more fun."

He Feng smiled and said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, go back and pack up and get ready. I'll be there in a while."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Okay, uncle." Then he was about to turn around and go back. At this time, Ma Xin hurriedly handed the things he bought to He Yuzhu and said, "This is a gift for you. It's just a small token of my respect."

He Yuzhu took the gift and thanked him repeatedly: "Oh, you are so polite, Comrade Ma Xin, thank you. You spent so much money." He Yuzhu happily carried the gift and walked home with He Yushui. Along the way, he talked to He Yushui about his uncle and Ma Xin. The courtyard was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, as if foreshadowing that today would be a day full of joy...

He Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Ma Xin with a smile in his eyes, and said with a hint of surprise and emotion in his tone: "I really didn't expect that I just mentioned it to you casually last time, but you kept it in mind. I am really touched." Ma Xin smiled back, revealing a bit of sincerity and tenderness in his eyes, and said: "I really don't have many friends in this place who I can talk to, so I care about every word you say, and naturally I will not forget it."

He Feng's heart moved, he stared into Ma Xin's eyes, and mustered up the courage to say: "Yes, we are friends who have experienced life and death together. In the process of facing danger together, my feelings for you have gradually changed. I... I want to pursue you, Ma Xin, can you be my girlfriend?" Upon hearing this, Ma Xin's face flushed slightly, and a trace of surprise and panic flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect He Feng to confess so suddenly. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at He Feng and said: "This, this is a bit too sudden. I am a little overwhelmed for a moment. Can you give me some time to think about it?"

He Feng nodded quickly, his eyes full of expectation and determination, and said: "Of course I can, I am willing to wait, no matter how long it takes, I will always wait for you. You don't have to feel any pressure, just tell me when you have made up your mind." Then, He Feng and Ma Xin chatted casually for a few more words, and then turned and walked towards He Yuzhu's house. Because he knew that He Yuzhu's family had already started cooking, and everyone had agreed to get together.

At this time, Qin Huairu happened to pass by and inadvertently saw Ma Xin and He Feng talking together, and she immediately became suspicious. She looked closely and found that Ma Xin was actually walking towards He Yuzhu's house, and she couldn't help but be surprised. She thought to herself, this is not a trivial matter, I have to tell Yi Zhonghai quickly. So she hurried to Yi Zhonghai's house.
