Only then did Qin Jingru remember that Qin Huairu was now the big boss in the courtyard and she had to pay attention to the influence of the masses.
If something happened to Jia Zhang for no apparent reason, the old women in the compound might think that Qin Huairu was behind it.
After all, for the current Jia family, Jia and Zhang are a burden.
Not only does Jia Zhang make trouble every day, she also likes to take painkillers, which is a heavy burden for the Jia family, which is not wealthy.
Even if it is finally confirmed that Jia Zhang's accident had nothing to do with Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu will still have a bad reputation for not taking good care of her parents-in-law.
In this day and age, if you are not filial, people will scold you in the spine.
so.
After Qin Jingru realized the seriousness of the problem, she took Qin Huairu to the third uncle's house.
The third uncle had just finished eating at this time and was licking his porcelain bowl.
The porcelain bowl was licked clean, but the third uncle still did not give up and tried to stuff the last bit of rice into his stomach.
Seeing the two people coming in, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed.
After putting the porcelain bowl aside, he stood up and said with a smile: "Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, it's so late, why are you here?"
Qin Huairu pretended not to see it and said with a smile: "Third uncle, have you seen my mother?"
"No, isn't she at home?" the third uncle said with a frown.
at this time.
The third aunt heard the conversation outside and walked out of the house.
"Qin Huairu, today I heard that Mrs. Jia Zhang had a big quarrel with Mrs. Zhao in front of Lao Zhao's house in the compound next door."
"Why, aren't she and Aunt Zhao good friends?"
"It seems that Jia Zhang wanted to borrow money from Aunt Zhao, but Aunt Zhao didn't lend it to him. So the two quarreled. Later, Aunt Zhao's son also came and had a big quarrel with Jia Zhang. Later Jia Zhang
I left the compound next door and I don’t know where I went.”
After listening to what the third aunt said, Qin Huairu knew that Jia Zhang must have left the compound to borrow money to buy painkillers.
It's just that it's getting so late now. Even if Jia Zhang can't borrow the money, she should be back. Where did she go?
The third uncle also felt that the matter was a bit serious.
He knew very well that an old woman like Jia Zhang had no friends at all.
"Master, will something happen to Jia Zhang?"
Qin Huairu didn't answer, Qin Jingru shook her head and said: "Impossible. An old woman like Jia Zhang has no money, and they won't take advantage of her. What happened?"
The third uncle agreed and nodded: "That's true."
Several people discussed it for a while but had no clue. Qinhuai Road did not take it lightly.
She took Qin Jingru and the third uncle with her, and was about to leave the compound to search when she met Li Weidong who was returning from drinking.
After solving a serious problem today, Li Weidong had a nice drink at Liang Ladi's house.
Then he lent another 20 kilograms of stick noodles to Liang Ladi before he came back satisfied.
Several people looked anxious and panicked. Li Weidong stopped, frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Qin Huairu told the news about Jia Zhang's disappearance.
"Brother Wei Dong, we are going to find the Jia Zhang family now."
Li Weidong didn't care about the Jia Zhang family, but he could also understand Qin Huairu's difficulties.
"Qin Huairu is so late. We don't know where Jia Zhang is. Even if you search blindly, there's no way. So I still suggest that you go directly to the police station to report the case. Let the comrades at the police station help find Jia Zhang."
When Qin Huairu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
As for whether the comrades from the police station would take the initiative to find Jia Zhang now, Qin Huairu didn't care.
But as long as the case is reported, it means that Qin Huairu has done her best.
Even if it was a common family matter or something unexpected happened, it would not have much to do with him.
Qin Huairu looked at Li Weidong and said, "Brother, this is a good idea. I will go to the police station to report the case now."
After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she hurried to the police station to report the crime.
Of course, because Ms. Jia Zhang was missing for a relatively short period of time, the comrades at the police station would not say anything and immediately sent people to look for Ms. Jia Zhang.
Day 2.
Qin Huairu got up early in the morning.
She was going to report the news of Jia Zhang's disappearance to the neighborhood office.
She had just finished washing her face when Jia Zhang's voice came from behind.
"Come and take a look. My old wife didn't come home all night, and my daughter-in-law was not worried at all. She slept at home. Have you ever seen such an unfilial daughter-in-law?
Dongxu, you died so early, and I, a lonely old woman, am suffering here. Open your eyes and see how your wife treats me."
When Qin Huairu heard this, she immediately became furious.
at this time.
The residents who had just gotten up were washing their faces by the sink. They were all alarmed by Mrs. Jia Zhang and gathered around her.
After everyone heard Jia Zhang's words, they all started talking quietly.
"What, Jia Zhang didn't come back last night?"
"Qin Huairu is really outrageous. No matter how wrong Jia Zhang is, no matter how bad she is, she is still his parents-in-law. How could Qin Huairu see Jia Zhang missing and not look for her?"
"I think Qin Huairu is morally corrupt and is not worthy of being the boss of our courtyard house."
Qin Huairu walked out.
Pointing at Jia Zhang's nose, he asked: "Jia Zhang, where were you last night?"
Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said: "Qin Huairu, where I go has nothing to do with you. The problem now is that you don't come to me. It shows that you are an unfilial woman."
Seeing this situation, Qin Huairu felt a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I listened to Li Weidong last night, otherwise I would have suffered a big loss today.
Qin Huairu sneered and said, "What evidence do you have that I didn't find you?"
"Looking at what you said, you were lying in the room fast asleep when I came back. Isn't this obvious?" Jia Zhang thought she had Qin Huairu under control.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Huairu sneered: "After I found out you were not at home last night, I took the third uncle and Qin Jingru. I searched the whole neighborhood but couldn't find you."
"The third uncle is the steward of our compound, and he always listens to you. Qin Jingru is your cousin, and she also listens to you. Who knows if you deliberately let them cover for you, so the two of them don't know what to do.
You cannot serve as a witness."
Jia Zhang held his arms in his arms, feeling that he was sure to defeat Qin Huairu this time.
Qin Huairu sneered and said: "Maybe they will help me cover up. But after you disappeared, I immediately went to the street police station to report the case. There should be records in the police station now. You didn't say that the comrades at the police station would also help me cover up, right?
"
Hearing this, Jia Zhang was immediately speechless.
No matter how courageous Ms. Jia Zhang is, no matter how unreasonable she is, she would not dare to slander the comrades at the police station.
Mrs. Jia Zhang smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, I misunderstood, my daughter-in-law. Do you actually care about me so much? I'm here to say I'm sorry."
After speaking, Jia Zhang turned around and wanted to enter the house, but was stopped by Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu stared at Jia Zhang and said coldly: "Jia Zhang, where did you go last night? Now please explain to me clearly."
"I just went to a friend's house. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's not talk anymore. I'm a little sleepy now and I have to go back to sleep."
"Ms. Jia Zhang, you were not at home all night last night. I doubt you did anything good."
After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she turned to look at the onlookers and said, "You guys may already know Jia Zhang very well. How can someone like her have any friends? Even if she has friends, they won't let her stay overnight."
Hearing this, the residents who were watching nodded their heads.
"Yes, Qin Huairu is right. Housing in the city is extremely tight. Many families have five or six people in a family crowded into one room. How could it be possible for Jia and Zhang to live there."
"Yes, Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't come back all night last night. Maybe she went to do something bad."
"I think Jia Zhang should be asked to explain his whereabouts. We can't let him go easily."
Jia Zhang never expected that she originally wanted to take advantage of Qin Huairu this time, but she did not expect that Qin Huairu would take advantage of her instead.
Of course, she didn't want to tell the story with Zhang Dafa, so she crossed her arms and put on a rogue face.
"Qin Huairu. Wherever I go, that is my freedom. I am your in-laws, not your daughter. You can't control me."
"Yes, I may not be able to control you, but there are comrades at the police station. You didn't come back last night. I went to the police station to report the case. If you don't explain your whereabouts clearly, I will tell the comrades at the police station that you are
He deliberately tempted me to report a false case and wasted the manpower and material resources of the comrades at the police station." Qin Huairu said coldly.
Now it was Jia Zhang's turn to be confused.
She didn't expect that Qin Huairu would take the matter to the police station again.
If the comrades at the police station really investigate, then all the things she did will definitely be found out.
When Jia Zhang thought about the consequences of this incident, she was immediately shocked.
She quickly looked at Qin Huairu and said in a low voice: "Qin Huairu, in fact, I wanted to tell you about this when I came back just now.
But this is an internal matter of our family, so we should talk about leaving privately. Now let’s go into the house and I will tell you the matter.”
Although Qin Huairu didn't know what Jia Zhang wanted to do, she knew people like Jia Zhang.
If it was an honest matter, she would have spoken out aggressively by now.
Therefore, Qin Huairu did not agree to Jia Zhang's request, but said with a cold face: "Jia Zhang, everyone is here now. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
The onlookers were so excited to see the excitement that it was no big deal, and they all nodded and said.
"That's right. Mrs. Jia Zhang, we are all neighbors. There is something you can't say."
"You didn't really do something shameful, did you?"
"Jia Zhang, aren't you sorry for Lao Jia?"
It has to be said that the people's eyes were sharp and they actually guessed everything about the incident.
Jia Zhang didn't expect it either.
At this time, Mrs. Jia Zhang's face turned red and she gritted her teeth and said, "Everyone, please stop arguing. I did not come back last night, but I was at my partner's house."
boom.
These words were like a thunderbolt, ringing in the ears as they exited the house, making their heads buzz.
"I heard you right, Jia Zhang actually has a partner."
"Are you kidding? He is already in his 50s now. How can he have a partner?"
"Oh my God, Mrs. Jia Zhang actually brought a green hat to her hometown."
Qin Huairu didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be like this.
She looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang in disbelief and said, "Mr. Jia Zhang, you didn't come back last night, and you were messing around with a wild man outside. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Qin Huairu, what are you talking nonsense about? How could I be messing around? Yes, I am indeed Xia Dongxu's mother, but now my hometown has been dead for decades. Even Jia Dongxu is dead, can't I pursue
My own happiness?”
Seeing Jia Zhang's menacing look, Qin Huairu was speechless.
Yes, what Jia Zhang did sounds a bit unreliable, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that he was not wrong.
Qin Huairu couldn't make up her mind for a moment, so she could only ask Jia Zhang to go back to the house first.
Then she looked at the residents and said: "It's almost time to go to work now. You guys should go back quickly. Clean up and don't delay going to work."
The residents in the courtyard ate a lot of melons and went back satisfied.
Of course, Qin Huairu had no intention of letting Jia Zhang go, she just wanted to find Li Weidong's help.
Qin Huairu didn't even eat breakfast, so she came to Li Weidong's house.
At this time, Li Weidong had just gotten up, Yu Li brought hot water, and Li Weidong was about to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Qin Huairu walked in and said with a smile: "Brother Wei Dong, I need your help with something."
Li Weidong washed his face hastily, and then asked Yu Li to cook first. He followed Qin Huairu to the door.
Qin Huairu told Jia Zhang's story in detail.
Li Weidong paused and was dumbfounded: "Jia Zhang has found another partner at such an old age. It's really incredible."
"Not only did I find a partner, but I also stayed at someone else's house last night. Jia Zhang did it. Isn't this kind of thing a shame?"
Li Weidong did not answer Qin Huairu immediately, but took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and took out one. Qin Huairu quickly took out a match and lit Li Weidong's cigarette.
Li Weidong then said: "Qin Huairu, this matter is not a good thing."
Seeing Qin Huairu's surprised look, Li Weidong continued: "Now Jia Zhang is getting more and more mischievous. Although you are trying to control Jia Zhang by not letting her take painkillers, this is not a long-term solution.
.
After all, Jia and Zhang are your parents-in-law.
Even if he did something too extreme.
There is nothing you can do against him.
If you deal with Jia Zhang, the residents in the compound will definitely have objections to you.
So now it is better to take this opportunity to marry off Jia Zhang."
Qin Huairu thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.
If Jia Zhang continues to stay in the Jia family, it will only cause trouble for her.
If Mrs. Jia and Zhang really married out of Siheyuan, they would have nothing to do with the Jia family in the future.
After Qin Huairu figured it out, she nodded heavily at Li Weidong and said gratefully: "Brother Weidong, thank you so much. I will go back and discuss with Jia Zhang about getting him married."
