The Dream Fulfillment Master in the Courtyard

At the Jia family's dinner table.

Qin Huairu has already shared her thoughts with Jia Dongxu.

Before Jia Dongxu could reply to Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhangshi dropped her chopsticks.

"Qin Huairu, is it that my words don't carry weight?"

"I already told you, we don't have that much money!"

"Go borrow money from Yi Zhonghai? Is it that easy to borrow money? If we do, how much of a favor will our family owe him?"

"Are you only comfortable if you drive me crazy?"

"Mom, it wasn't me, I didn't!"

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhangshi with a pitiful expression, then looked at Jia Dongxu, hoping that Jia Dongxu could say a few words for her.

Unfortunately, Jia Dongxu only glared at Qin Huairu before immediately accusing her, saying, "Qin Huairu, what's wrong with you? Don't you know our family's situation?"

"We'll do as Mom says on this!"

Without any hesitation, Jia Dongxu immediately sided with Jia Zhangshi.

"Mom, don't be angry. Qin Huairu is just a country girl; she doesn't know anything. Why are you arguing with her?"

"You guys eat, I'm not hungry!"

Having already eaten an extra meal outside, Jia Zhangshi wasn't about to give up so easily. She didn't continue eating, but simply got up and went back to the kang (heated brick bed).

Jia Dongxu slapped Qin Huairu across the face.

"Qin Huairu, you do absolutely nothing all day long! I'm not raising you to cause trouble for my mother!"

"Kneel down and apologize to Mom!"

Jia Dongxu immediately displayed the authority of the head of the family.

On the other side of the table, Bang Geng finally realized what was happening and started crying.

His crying actually helped Qin Huairu.

In Jia Zhangshi's heart, Banggeng was her precious grandson!

"Alright, why are you shouting so loudly? You're scaring the guy!"

Jia Zhangshi knew when to stop.

Qin Huairu felt wronged after being slapped and rushed out of the house with tears in her eyes.

However, neither Jia Zhangshi nor Jia Dongxu took Qin Huairu's running away seriously; this wasn't the first time.

Qin Huairu had nowhere to go in the city.

My family lives far away and is just a poor farming family. Even if they found out, what could they do?

Qin Huairu ran out of the Jia family home and stood in the courtyard, overwhelmed with grief.

She did nothing wrong; she was only trying to do what was best for the family. Why was she hit?

A cold wind blew by, and snow began to fall from the sky, the icy snowflakes rustling down.

Qin Huairu listened to the voices of Shen Zhiyu and Sha Zhu talking coming from Sha Zhu's room, and her gaze immediately fell on the side room where Shen Zhiyu was staying.

She remembered that when Shen Zhiyu came back that afternoon, she lit a stove in the house.

Stimulated by the cold, Qin Huairu subconsciously went to the side room where Shen Zhiyu was staying.

The side room was indeed very warm.

However, Qin Huairu didn't dare turn on the lights.

She carefully reached the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and touched the area under the mattress.

The surface of the kang (heated brick bed) was warm.

Her icy hands greedily absorbed the warmth of the kang (heated brick bed) and mattress. Qin Huairu lay on the quilt, tears streaming down her face.

She married into the Jia family and behaved herself well, taking care of her mother-in-law and managing the household. Everyone in the courtyard said that Jia Dongxu was very lucky to have married such a good wife.

But who knows what kind of life Qin Huairu lived in the Jia family?

……

Shen Zhiyu and Sha Zhu toasted each other and quickly finished a bottle of Xifeng liquor.

This is a bottle of wine that weighs one jin (500 grams)!

Actually, it's not a big deal.

After all, it's only five ounces per person.

However, this liquor is quite strong!

"Master He, please wait a moment, see you tomorrow!"

See you tomorrow!

Sha Zhu was a bit drunk, so he only saw Shen Zhiyu to the door and didn't see her off any further.

Shen Zhiyu tried her best to maintain her balance. Her body's alcohol tolerance was still as unreliable as ever. She wondered if she would wake up and go back to normal after getting drunk this time!

Back in the room, Shen Zhiyu didn't turn on the light and went straight to the kang (a heated brick bed).

Slightly drunk, all he wanted to do was crawl into a warm bed and get some sleep.

Qin Huairu, who was lying on Shen Zhiyu's kang (a heated brick bed), was startled when she heard the door open. Guessing that it was Shen Zhiyu returning, she quickly got up, ready to apologize. However, she found that Shen Zhiyu hadn't even turned on the light and had walked straight onto the kang.

Shen Zhiyu didn't even notice that she was right in front of her.

Then, Qin Huairu bumped into Shen Zhiyu.

"Comrade Shen, you're drunk, let me help you..."

"Qin Huairu...?"

Shen Zhiyu was already a little confused at this point.

He couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams at the moment. When he heard Qin Huairu's voice, he didn't think much of it and just muttered something.

This is his house; Qin Huairu couldn't possibly be here at this time!

So, it was just a dream!

Since it's a dream, it's naturally Lao Tzu's dream, and Lao Tzu is in charge!

……

More than half an hour later, Qin Huairu fled the side room in a disheveled state. She did not dare to go directly back to the Jia family, but squatted in a sheltered corner, her eyes filled with tears.

She didn't know what sins she had committed to deserve this.

It's impossible to explain exactly what happened!

Qin Huairu couldn't figure it out for a moment, but by the time she came to her senses, it was already too late.

At that time, Qin Huairu dared not shout anymore!

In the end, she could only silently bear it all!

Crouching in the corner, Qin Huairu didn't know who to hate.

Do I hate myself for going to the side room?

He resented that Jia Dongxu didn't come looking for him.

Qin Huairu felt that her life had suddenly become bleak.

She crouched in the darkness of the corner, hugging her shoulders, tears streaming down her face.

Meanwhile, at the Jia family home, Jia Zhangshi, seeing that Qin Huairu hadn't returned after being gone for so long, called Jia Dongxu out to look for her. She even acted as if she was very concerned for the young couple, saying things like, "What couple doesn't quarrel and bicker? They fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed!"

Unfortunately, Jia Dongxu remained unmoved.

"Mom, why are you bothering with her?"

"I think it's because we were too good to her before, which made her forget her place. She comes from the countryside, what kind of job can she do? Sweep the streets or clean up latrines?"

Jia Dongxu's disdainful words were all whispered to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu felt even more aggrieved!

Is she really that bad?

She is from the countryside, that's true, but how come all she can do is sweep the streets and clean up night soil?

Upon hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Madam Jia snorted and said, "Don't you listen to me anymore?"

"Listen, listen, listen, I'll go out and find her right now, okay?"

Jia Dongxu agreed impatiently.
