After the marriage, Hu Dayong moved into the Qin family home with his twin children.

Qin's father naturally owned many properties and shops in the old society, but they were all handed over later. By the time Qin Hanshu was born, the family had nothing left, and even their two-courtyard house had been occupied by more than ten families.

Qin Hanshu and Yang Aizhen returned to the courtyard. It wasn't time to leave work yet, and there weren't many people in the courtyard.

Hu Dayong was a butcher at the meat processing plant. Although his son, Hu Bingbing, was born mentally challenged, he looked like a normal person and had a lot of strength. So Hu Dayong took him under his wing as an apprentice, which was also a way of giving him a job.

The father and son have not returned yet; only the stepsister, Hu Wenwen, is at home.

The Qin family lived in a courtyard house facing north, with three main rooms and two side rooms, which was quite spacious for that era. — This could be considered a reward for Qin's father's voluntary surrender.

One of the three main rooms was allocated to Yang Aizhen and Hu Dayong, one to Hu Bingbing and one to Hu Wenwen, and Qin Hanshu occupied a small side room. The other side room was filled with miscellaneous items.

As soon as Qin Hanshu got off Yang Aizhen's bicycle, she went straight to the room where she had lived as a child, which she had later given to Hu Wenwen.

Inside the room, Hu Wenwen sat at her desk, playing with the prayer beads she had "borrowed" from her.

The 108-bead Bodhi seed rosary was specially obtained by Qin Hanshu's father from a business trip to Tibet when she was a newborn and was frequently ill.

In Qin Hanshu's heart, this is the most important thing her father left her.

Qin Hanshu walked over quietly.

It's unclear whether Hu Wenwen was too engrossed in playing with the game to notice that Qin Hanshu had already approached.

Taking advantage of her inattention, Qin Hanshu quickly reached out and snatched the prayer beads away!
