Siheyuan came through and sent Jia Zhang to prison

He Feng looked at He Yushui's expectant expression, smiled helplessly, and said nothing more. He walked to the bookshelf nearby, picked up a book, sat on a nearby chair, and began to read quietly. For a moment, the only sounds in the room were the sound of the radio and the rustling of pages.

At night, a quiet atmosphere enveloped the entire house. When it was time to rest, He Feng turned on the radio as usual, ready to listen to some evening news. Just then, a familiar signal sounded from the radio, followed by Chu Fei's voice coming out clearly.

Chu Fei's tone was slightly serious, conveying the message that Ma Ran and Kong Xiangbin were currently under investigation by their superiors. To avoid affecting the progress of the investigation, they could not be contacted for the time being. However, after this sensitive period, contact could be reestablished. At that time, Chu Fei would conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation into their backgrounds to clarify the situation behind them. He Feng listened quietly, his brows slightly furrowed, and he couldn't help but worry about Ma Ran's situation.

He Feng harbored an inexplicable trust in Chu Fei, a trust born from their past interactions and experiences. Compared to Kong Xiangbin, He Feng was actually more inclined to believe that Ma Ran was on his side. However, without solid evidence, he knew better than to rely solely on his intuition. In this complex environment, every word could have unintended consequences, so he could only bury his suspicions deep in his heart, waiting for the right moment to verify them.

In the courtyard, Qin Huairu watched Qin Jingru successfully get a job at the supply and marketing cooperative and her life became increasingly comfortable. The fire of jealousy in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She knew that the salary at the supply and marketing cooperative was not low, and the job was stable and respectable. Every time she saw Qin Jingru's radiant appearance, Qin Huairu felt like a thorn in her heart.

That day, after work, Qin Huairu happened to run into Qin Jingru in the yard. Something in her heart moved, and her face immediately changed into a look of concern. She took the initiative to greet her and said, "Jingru, you... just got back from get off work?" In fact, Qin Huairu had already known that Qin Jingru worked in the supply and marketing cooperative. She asked this question just to bring up the topic.

Qin Jingru knew that Qin Huairu was pretending. She smiled slightly and deliberately said, "Sister Qin, have you forgotten? I am working at the supply and marketing cooperative now. I just got off work." Qin Jingru looked at Qin Huairu's hypocritical look and felt a little disdainful in her heart, but still maintained superficial politeness.

Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru, a flicker of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and put on a pitiful look, saying, "Jingru, you also know our family's current situation. It's really too difficult. Look, I'm your cousin, and we're the closest relatives. Can you talk to He Feng and see if you can arrange for me to work in the supply and marketing cooperative as well? You see, my cousin's life is really unbearable."

As Qin Huairu spoke, she wiped away her non-existent tears with her hands, trying to arouse Qin Jingru's sympathy.

Qin Jingru couldn't believe her ears. She hadn't expected Qin Huairu to be so shameless as to say such things. She looked at Qin Huairu, feeling annoyed, but still said patiently, "Sister Qin, you know this matter well. It was arranged by my uncle, and I can't tell He Feng directly." Qin Jingru didn't want to get involved in Qin Huairu's mess. She knew that Qin Huairu always liked to take advantage of others, and this time she definitely had no good intentions.

Qin Huairu was not willing to give up easily. She held Qin Jingru's hand and continued, "Jingru, we are a family. Even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. Just help your cousin. Your cousin will definitely not forget your kindness in the future." Qin Huairu held Qin Jingru's hand tightly, her eyes full of expectation, as if she would not let go unless Qin Jingru agreed.

Qin Jingru really didn't want to waste time with Qin Huairu here. She wanted to get rid of Qin Huairu's entanglement as soon as possible. So, she had an idea and said, "Sister, how about this? I will talk to Brother Zhuzi when I go back, and then ask He Yuzhu to tell uncle. What do you think?" Qin Jingru thought to herself, let's send Qin Huairu away first. As for whether He Yuzhu would help, that was none of her business.

Qin Huairu was overjoyed when she heard this. She was fully convinced that He Yuzhu might still be thinking of her kindness. If He Yuzhu was willing to help, she could use this opportunity to get close to him. Maybe with her efforts, He Yuzhu would divorce Qin Jingru.

After all, her life in the courtyard was not easy. After her husband Jia Dongxu passed away, the burden of the family's life fell on her alone. She had long wanted to find someone to rely on. Thinking of this, Qin Huairu seemed to have seen the beautiful picture of herself working in the supply and marketing cooperative and living a good life. A smug smile appeared on her face.

Qin Huairu stood there, imagining various scenarios in her mind. She even thought that if she could use this opportunity to reconcile with He Yuzhu, with her own means, she might be able to send Qin Jingru back to the countryside. In her mind, Qin Jingru was just a girl from the countryside. Why did she live such a comfortable life here?

Every day, seeing Qin Jingru dressed in nice clothes and with a happy smile on her face, Qin Huairu's heart felt like being gnawed by countless ants, and the flame of jealousy burned in her heart. What's more, Qin Jingru was brought here from the countryside by her own hands, and she felt that everything Qin Jingru had now should belong to her.

At this moment, Qin Huairu was filled with hatred towards Qin Jingru. However, when she saw Qin Jingru holding fresh vegetables in her hands, her deep-rooted desire to take advantage of others began to take over again. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she forced a flattering smile on her face. She looked at Qin Jingru and said, "Jingru, can you give me the vegetables in your hand? You also know the current situation of our family. Jia Dongxu is paralyzed in bed and can't do anything. I have to support all the big and small things at home by myself. Life is so difficult."

As Qin Huairu spoke, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, trying to make Qin Jingru sympathize with her.

Qin Jingru never expected that at this time, Qin Huairu would still want to take advantage of her. It was really ungrateful to the extreme. If it was when she first came to the courtyard, Qin Jingru might have shared some of the food with Qin Huairu out of consideration for their sisterly love.
