When Lin Zhen returned to the house, he couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Lou Xiao'e smiled and asked: "What did Qin Huairu say to you? Are you back so soon? There's something wrong with your face."
Lin Zhen drank a glass of cold water and sobered up before shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "She's out of her mind. She asked me to drink in her room. Xiaodang and Sophora japonica are not here. Can I go? Really."
Lou Xiao'e joked: "Maybe I've whispered to you. Wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't go?"
"Quickly pull her down. I'm afraid I'll get raped as soon as I enter the house. If she comes to see us in the future, I'll let her talk here. I won't follow her out. There's no need to save face for her."
Lou Xiao'e nodded and said: "Okay, I listen to you. Haven't you been able to find fault with her during this period? Now that you know it, you can't go with her. She is more poisonous than Qin Jingru."
"Yes, Qin Jingru is just a little materialistic. In fact, he is not a treacherous person. He is not the same as Qin Huairu."
Qin Huairu was in a daze under the night sky for a while, then she ran to the sink and turned on the faucet and washed her hair with cold water.
After she woke up, she suddenly understood something.
The look that I was proud of no longer exists. Old people like to be rich, but young people don't.
Especially for Lin Zhen, no matter how beautiful he is, it is of no use. No matter whether he has the ability to pull out the stick, he will not help.
Both my mother-in-law and Banggeng could only stay inside.
Qin Huairu sighed. She didn't want to be so fat, but her appetite has increased. When she has no support, eating until she is full is the best way to comfort her.
After calling Xiaodang and Sophora japonica back to the house, she poured herself a glass of wine and drank it alone. She couldn't control it and finished the food.
The next day, she entrusted Sophora japonica to Aunt Yi to take care of her for the day, and then sent the baby to the daycare of the steel rolling mill before going to work.
In the evening, Qin Huairu's biological mother came to the courtyard.
The urgent letter arrived in the suburban countryside at noon. Aunt Qin heard that her daughter's family was in trouble, so she quickly took a long-distance bus to the city.
The last time I came to the city was when Huaihua was born. It has been more than two years since her mother's family came.
On the one hand, it’s because the team is busy with production and doesn’t have any holidays.
On the other hand, it is difficult to get along with the Jia Zhang family.
Therefore, it was only three days and two birthdays every year. Qin Huairu returned to the countryside so that they could see their daughter and grandson.
The last time I saw my daughter Qin Huairu was during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Aunt Qin came to the courtyard and frowned when she saw her daughter. Qin Huairu was much fatter than a month ago.
"Huairu, you?"
"Mom, you are here!"
"Grandma, you are here!"
Qin Huairu led Xiaodang and Huaihua to greet them quickly.
"Well, let's go inside."
When they arrived at the house, Qin Huairu asked Xiaodang and Huaihua to go out to play first.
I cried and told the story again, and also said that I asked Lin Zhen for help, but Lin Zhen ignored him.
Aunt Qin shook her head and sighed, "Oh... Huairu, this is your fate. When you were just twenty years old, there was no one more beautiful than you from all over the country. You represented the team to deliver agricultural products to the steel rolling mill.
Several workers wanted to marry you and asked matchmakers to come to our house, including Lin Zhen, but you didn't pick the right one, you picked the one with the shortest life and the least luck!"
Qin Huairu shed tears and said, "Mom, don't talk about this. There's no point in regretting it. No one has the ability to see before and after. They can't see what's going to happen in the future."
Aunt Qin said: "You can't see what's going to happen in the future, but you can see what's happening in front of you. You said that Lin Zhen didn't help you at all and didn't even enter your home. Didn't you consider your own reasons?"
Qin Huairu was stunned, "I...I've done very well in the past few months?"
"I'm talking about your appearance, not your character. If you are still the same as you were when you were twenty, let alone Lin Zhen, even Tang Seng will have to enter your house!"
Qin Huairu was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Aunt Qin said: "Look at you now, you are as fat as your mother-in-law. Do you think Lin Zhen will still have the same thoughts as when he asked someone to propose marriage to you?"
"I...I just thought about it. No one in the courtyard believes in my poverty. There is no need for me to pretend to be poor. Now I just want to keep a filial piety. It is impossible to ask Lin Zhen to do things. He
My assistant is as beautiful as I was when I was young, and there are no rumors about her?"
"Hey, Huairu, even if you don't pretend to be poor in front of the neighbors, you can't pretend to be rich. Look at how fat you are. When you go home during the Dragon Boat Festival, you make everyone in the village envious."
Qin Huairu nodded and said: "I know, I want to control it too, but my appetite goes up and down, and I feel flustered and uncomfortable if I don't eat enough."
"You'd better endure it for now, otherwise it will be difficult for you to find a home like this."
Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and said: "Where else can I find a home? With three children and mother-in-law, I can't leave, and no one will want me."
"Don't be stupid. If you have the chance, take your children and remarry. What's the use of your mother-in-law letting her be a lonely old man? If it doesn't work out, just marry the stupid person in the courtyard. I have thought about it carefully for you. After this stupid person comes out of prison,
He can't even find a wife. As long as Liu Yuhua doesn't remarry him, he can only marry you!"
"No, my mother-in-law won't agree."
"What does she care about? Have you visited her after she was arrested?"
"No, I'm going to go tomorrow morning."
"Don't look at it, and don't pick her up when she comes out. What's the use of keeping the reputation of filial piety? Don't eat or drink. Let her know that she can't live without you. If you leave her, your life will only be more nourishing. When the time comes,
You make it clear to her directly that you are going to marry Shazhu. If she agrees, take her there and continue to raise her. If she doesn’t agree, just marry directly and leave the child to her to show off her abilities!"
Qin Huairu was stunned. She didn't expect her mother to come home and teach herself a lesson first.
After all, she is still her own mother, and she always thinks about her daughter, without being pretentious at all.
Even though this approach was too straightforward, Qin Huairu still had great concerns and could not directly follow it.
"Mom, please let me think about it. Banggeng is not easy to deal with. He is very opposed to me getting together with Shazhu."
Aunt Qin said disdainfully: "Can a child become your home? As long as you are willing, a few words can open his heart. If he really doesn't agree, just talk to him directly while he is in the juvenile detention center before he comes out.
Silly Zhu got the marriage certificate. Anyway, Silly Zhu came out early. This is called killing first and telling later. When Bangge came out and disagreed, he was asked to go to the juvenile detention center. Children are not sensible and follow their parents to make trouble. Then there is only
One reason is that if you fight less, your brother will be more obedient back home!"
Qin Huairu was stunned again, her mother's words impacted her psychology again and again.
She had never dared to think so wildly.
When it comes to calculations, I'm worse than my mother.
But thinking about it carefully, I really can only rely on Sha Zhu alone in this life.
Others would simply not accept him with three children and a mother-in-law.
If we established the relationship early, we would save the neighbors from saying that they took advantage of Silly Zhu.
The most important thing is that Liu Yuhua must not be the first to remarry Silly Zhu.
Although Liu Yuhua now looks disgusted when talking about Sha Zhu, no one knows whether she will remarry Sha Zhu.
He couldn't take this risk. Since the first uncle Yi Zhonghai had tried so hard to instigate Sha Zhu and Liu Yuhua to divorce, he couldn't let them remarry again.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu nodded.
"Mom, to be honest, it's easy to talk to Bangge and my mother-in-law, but it's hard to say whether Shazhu will immediately agree to get the certificate from me. After all, there is an ex-wife in the backyard, and she is now thinner. She wants to have everything, and she has to have everything.
It’s not much different from when I was young, it’s even a little bit better.”
Aunt Qin thought for a while and said: "This is easy to handle. As long as Silly Zhu doesn't ask for remarriage as soon as he comes out, you will be able to take down Silly Zhu immediately? Just use..."
While they were talking, Xiaodang and Huaihua came in, "Mom, we are hungry, when will we make dinner?"
Aunt Qin said: "Let's do it. You can play at home and don't go out."
Then he said to Qin Huairu: "Come here, I'll tell you in a low voice!"
As he spoke, he whispered something into Qin Huairu's ear. Qin Huairu's face turned red and she asked in surprise: "Is this idea... okay?"
"It will definitely work. As long as Shazhu really tells you that he is a good person who only cares about face, you can use this trick to defeat him for the rest of your life! He will be able to collect the certificate from you the next morning!"
Qin Huairu thought for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I'll do this! If I lose my reputation, Mom, I will be driven back to the countryside by my mother-in-law. Don't let me go then!"
"Don't worry, silly girl. As long as your mother-in-law is not a fool, she won't drive you away. Even if she knows, she will still suffer the consequences of being dumb!"
"Yes! I listen to you. As soon as you come, the knot in my heart will be relieved."
"Except for the trick I mentioned, you can't get fat anymore, you must lose weight!"
Qin Huairu was a little embarrassed: "I will take my time and reduce my appetite slowly. Don't rush me."
Even though he said that, during dinner, Qin Huairu still snorted and took out a small pot.
Qin Huairu went to work as usual the next day and did not visit Jia Zhang.
Jia Zhang was panicked, thinking that Qin Huairu no longer wanted her and would throw her into a detention center.
When I asked the correctional officer, the answer was very official, telling her to repent properly and let her go when the time comes.
Mrs. Jia Zhang was ready to die, and she did not dare to hate Qin Huairu. She was afraid that her punishment would be suddenly increased, and she would spend the whole day in fear.
…………
In the blink of an eye, Sunday came again, and He Yuyu came to the detention center to visit Silly Zhu.
Silly Zhu was a little special this time. Every month when the rain came, he kept asking about He Feibiao and Liu Yuhua.
This time, I actually asked about Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang and their relationship.
"Yu Yu, how is Aunt Jia's health lately?"
He Yuyu frowned and said, "What are you asking about her for? It's disappointing. If you mention her again, I'll leave!"
"Hey, you girl, let me ask what's wrong? Sister Qin gave me a pair of cloth shoes last time she came here. Aunt Jia made them for me. Don't treat her like this."
He Yuyu sneered: "What's wrong with my attitude towards her? Are you not satisfied? Hold on to your dissatisfaction. I see you are very comfortable. Forget it, I won't come to see you next month. Anyway, Sister Qin every month I have come to see you twice, so one more for me is not more."
Silly Zhu pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Okay, okay! Let's just say I said something wrong. I didn't know what happened. You look angry. What happened? Did you quarrel with Aunt Jia?"
He Yuyu said coldly: "How dare you? Apart from Lin Zhen and Fei Biao's mother, there is no other person in the courtyard who dares to quarrel with her. Liu Jianguo was caught bullying someone a few days ago and has not been released from detention for 15 days. "
"Ah?! Why?"
"Because Banggeng went to the juvenile detention center again, this time for six months, and it will be the New Year when he comes out."
"This incident caused so much trouble that I wanted to take him out to play after I went out. By the way, is it because of that boy Liu Jianguo? He's looking for a beating!"
He Yuyu looked at Silly Zhu with contempt, "Oh, silly brother, in your eyes, Liu Jianguo deserves to be the victim even if he is a victim. You are not in the courtyard during this period, and I don't have much contact with Sister Qin's family. Slowly, from I learned a lot from Zhi Guo. Neighbors can’t just rely on likes or dislikes. They have to be reasonable. This time Aunt Jia was unreasonable and threatened that Zhi Guo wouldn’t be able to marry me. She was too arrogant and she should be detained!”
"Hey! You girl, I can tell. After following that boy Chen Zhiguo for a while, your ideological consciousness has become low. You just turn your elbows outward and adjust the cannon to hit in. I think Aunt Jia said That’s right, that kid can’t marry you!”
Snapped!
He Yuyu was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up.
"I won't come to see you anymore. Let's meet again when you are released from prison!"
"Ah? I, I was joking with you, why don't you know how to play?"
"I'm not kidding you, your words are too irritating, let's go!"
"Hey! Are you really leaving? I'm just teasing you. Come on, tell me what happened. Then I'll understand. Once I understand, I won't make you angry with your nonsense."
"Humph! Just wait and ask Qin Huairu!"
He Yuyu said that and left the visiting room without looking back. Silly Zhu shook his head in anger.
"They say that a married girl throws away water. She's not even married yet. I won't even say a word. Humph, if you really marry that guy Chen Zhiguo, I won't give you a dowry!"
…………
Jia Zhang finally survived fifteen days in the detention center.
When letting her out, she asked cautiously: "Comrade in charge, is there anyone outside to pick me up?"
"You have to walk out of the detention center to know this. Given your age, I don't think your family will trust you to go back alone. Someone should be waiting outside."
"Hey! Okay, thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you during this time!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang came outside the detention center with excitement and finally regained her freedom. The first thing she did after returning home was to take a painkiller to feel comfortable.
When I arrived at the gate, I saw that it was empty outside, with no sign of Qin Huairu at all.
Not to mention Liu Haizhong and his wife or the people in the courtyard.
Ms. Jia Zhang panicked instantly. The detention center was far away from her home. If she didn't take the bus, it would take more than three hours to walk back.
If she takes the bus, she doesn't have a penny on her. Qin Huairu gives her a pension of three yuan every month, all of which she hides at home.
If you don't want to continue spending the night in the detention center, you have to walk home step by step.
Mrs. Jia Zhang gritted her teeth and walked towards home. She started at 8 a.m. and didn't reach the entrance of the alley until 1 p.m.
Both legs were swollen, thirsty, hungry, hot and tired, and I just wanted to raise my voice and go to the courtyard to scold Qin Huairu.
Suddenly, he saw Qin Huairu turning around the corner with a smile on her face.
"Mom, why are you back? Xiaodang Huaihua and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
