"Look at what you're saying! Everyone in the neighborhood knows I'm a kind-hearted person!"

After a pause, Madam Jia added, "Just tell me if you've broken up with that widow. If you two really have, I'll introduce you to someone better another day, but you'll have to give me some compensation for my trouble."

Oh, so you wanted to make money off the lucky draw.

Upon hearing this, He Daqing lowered his guard.

I just learned about the Jia family's situation from Sha Zhu. They lost their house, their job at the steel mill, and most importantly, Jia Dongxu is gone.

The Jia family is now considered one of the rare exceptions, barely making ends meet with the money they earned from selling their workstations and Jia Zhangshi's manure cart.

From this perspective, it's understandable that Jia Zhangshi wanted to earn some money for the occasion.

“We’ve already divorced. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways. If you, Jia Zhangshi, find someone suitable, you can introduce them to me. If it works out, I’ll give you a red envelope.”

Now that even Sha Zhu has a wife and children, He Daqing naturally wants a wife, children, and a warm bed as well.

"Just you wait and see, I'll arrange for you to meet in a while." Madam Jia suppressed a smile and turned to go back to the backyard.

Once home, Jia Zhangshi couldn't wait to call Qin Huairu over.

"Qin Huairu, He Daqing is back. He's not leaving again this time, and he's divorced that widow Bai."

"Oh dear, our family has suffered for so long, we can finally see some hope."

As Jia Zhangshi rambled on and on, Qin Huairu became more and more confused.

Is there a direct connection between He Daqing's return and their family's hope for the future?

He Daqing is Shazhu's father, but not Jia Zhangshi's father.

What's causing this excitement?

"Mom, He Daqing doesn't have a very good relationship with our family, does he?" Qin Huairu interrupted Jia Zhangshi's rambling.

If I remember correctly, the last time He Daqing returned to the courtyard house, he had a conflict with their family.

Madam Jia glanced at Qin Huairu: "The past is the past, and the present is the present. He Daqing is divorced. He's divorced, do you understand?"

Qin Huairu naturally didn't understand.

The divorce has nothing to do with their family.

Seeing that Qin Huairu still didn't understand, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but raise her chin: "I'm not bragging, but when Old Jia just left, He Daqing pursued me, but I thought he was useless and ugly, so I ignored him."

"Our family is having such a hard time right now. If He Daqing were willing to help us, wouldn't things get better?"

As Jia Zhangshi spoke, she couldn't help but slurp her saliva.

She hasn't eaten meat for months.

The thought that He Daqing was a cook and must have plenty to eat and drink made her mouth water.

To be honest, back when Sha Zhu was bringing lunchboxes home, he lived a really comfortable life.

"Wait, let me sort this out first." Qin Huairu raised her hand, feeling that the information was a bit confusing.

What did it mean that Jia Zhangshi had once pursued her?

Could it be that Jia Zhangshi wants to remarry?

Holy crap!

Qin Huairu pieced the information together, and her heart tightened immediately.

Jia Zhangshi is currently her money-making tool, providing her with sixteen yuan a month. If she remarries, she'll be finished.

Not only do I have to take care of the piglet, but I also have to pay attention to the baby in my belly, and I'm losing sixteen dollars every month.

"Mom, do you mean you want to remarry? And specifically marry He Daqing?"

Qin Huairu asked tentatively.

"What remarriage? Why use such an unpleasant language!" Madam Jia Zhang raised her triangular eyes in dissatisfaction: "I want He Daqing to help us. If he performs well, we can let him marry into our family."

"Let me make this clear beforehand: I'm not after He Daqing as a person; I'm doing this for the sake of our family."

"And it also depends on He Daqing's performance. He just came back from Baozhou and doesn't even have a job yet, so I definitely won't pay any attention to him."

It was for this reason that Jia Zhangshi told He Daqing that it would be in a while.

This period was Jia Zhangshi's observation period for He Daqing.

"oh......"

Qin Huairu felt relieved after hearing this.

So all of this was just Jia Zhangshi's wishful thinking. It's unlikely that she and He Daqing could make it work and live together.

First of all, the white widow was much prettier than Jia Zhangshi.

After tasting white flour steamed buns, how could He Daqing still eat cornbread?

So Qin Huairu wasn't flustered at all.

Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting away about crickets and crickets, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the courtyard.

Upon closer listening, it seemed that something had happened at Xu Damao's home.

"Second Aunt, Second Aunt, come out quickly! My wife is acting strangely."

Upon hearing that Xu Damao was in trouble, Jia Zhangshi rushed out without a second thought.

"Heaven has eyes! That damned Xu Damao has finally gotten his comeuppance! Qin Huairu, come with me to take a look."

Now, in the entire courtyard, the person Jia Zhangshi hates the most is not Chen Jun, but Xu Damao.

It wasn't just because Xu Damao had tricked her badly before, but because Xu Damao always bullied Jia Dongxu.

He once overturned Jia Dongxu's wheelchair at the slightest disagreement.

When Jia Zhangshi heard this, she only regretted that she wasn't home, otherwise she would definitely have fought with Xu Damao.

So when Jia Zhangshi heard Xu Damao's anxious voice, she ran as fast as she could.

Along with the parents, Aunt Er and others also came to the courtyard.

"Xu Damao, don't worry, what's wrong with your wife?"

The second aunt was still wearing an apron, clearly tidying up at home.

“She…she said her stomach was uncomfortable, like she was about to give birth.” Xu Damao said anxiously, “But I don’t know anything about this stuff. Second Aunt, please go and take a look. I’ll go borrow a cart first.”

At this moment, Xu Damao seemed somewhat lost and confused, clearly frightened by Hou Guifang's stomach pain.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Er didn't utter a single unnecessary word and hurriedly went into the house.

Xu Damao wasn't idle either; he took off running to the front yard to borrow a cart.

Before long, Aunt Er came to the yard to call for help.

They called a few people into the house and carried Xu Damao's wife, Hou Guifang, onto a cart.

"Xu Damao, don't worry, your wife is about to give birth." Aunt Er instructed, "Take your wife to the hospital first, and then send someone to inform your parents."

Because Hou Guifang has experience in childbirth and everything is going smoothly, the second aunt is not worried at all.

"Okay, I'll go right now!"

Xu Damao said he wasn't in a hurry, but he pulled the cart very quickly.

Jia Zhangshi, who had originally planned to watch the spectacle, was completely dumbfounded.

"No way, how could that damned Xu Damao be a father! He deserves to die without any offspring!"

"After doing so many despicable things, even if you have a child, it won't have an anus!"
