Ye Zhao felt that her worldview was being reshaped.
But on the other side, Qin Huairu's life wasn't so easy.
The courtyard house is neither too big nor too small.
Lou Xiao'e returned with Wang Shouren's child, and even the two old men combined couldn't suppress the news. They'd come back so openly; how could they possibly keep it quiet?
There are far too many people around who are jealous of Wang Shouren.
Sure enough, the day after Lou Xiao'e left, a bunch of real-name reports were filed.
It wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't reported it, but once I did, it became a problem.
Good heavens!
He resigned, and moreover, he received a shocking piece of information from the ministry.
He doesn't just have Lou Xiao'e, he also has Qin Huairu!
Qin Huairu, who had been quietly observing the situation, was completely stunned.
The Qin family is currently experiencing a low temperature.
Banggeng, Huaihua, Xiaodang, and Jia Zhangshi remained silent, staring intently at Qin Huairu.
Over the years, the Jia family has lived a fairly good life, neither rich nor poor, although Bang Geng did go to the countryside in the end.
"Mom, is this your reason for not wanting to talk to me?" Banggeng said leisurely.
He still remembers the hardships he endured in the countryside during those years. If he hadn't begged Sha Zhu for so long, he might not have been able to return so quickly.
Qin Huairu was not afraid.
Over the years, she has been the one making the decisions in this family.
"I don't want to talk to you." Qin Huairu scoffed. "Back then, I was willing to give you my workstation. Have you forgotten who ruined it in the end?"
At this point, Madam Jia said angrily, "What, you surnamed Qin, you think you're right to be a slut? If it were a few years earlier..."
"What if it had been a few years earlier? A few years earlier, if I had gone to jail, you would all have starved to death." Qin Huairu laughed: "So what, Mom, what can you do to me now? Even if I leave your Jia family now, so what? Would you dare let your eldest grandson support you?"
Jia Zhangshi: ...
She really didn't dare. She knew all too well what kind of person Bang Geng was—ambitious but incompetent. He was good for nothing and always ate everything. With Qin Huairu, at least she could at least make ends meet. At most, she'd just do some housework and wouldn't have to worry about her daily meals.
Sticky stalk: ...
He really didn't want to support Jia Zhangshi.
The two of them suddenly realized that this family really couldn't function without Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu said leisurely, "Now that this matter has been exposed, you two should live your lives well from now on."
"You surnamed Qin, what do you mean! What, you shameless whore, you've seduced a big shot and are going to abandon our family?!" Madam Jia immediately sensed something was wrong.
Jia Zhangshi was not very educated; she only acted according to her own set of logic.
When faced with a problem, she'd make a scene if it didn't align with her interests, only stopping when making a scene wouldn't solve the issue. She was the same way back then; after being warned by the Women's Federation, she toned it down somewhat because she knew that reputation represented everything in this world. Qin Huairu couldn't leave, nor dared she leave; she had been made a role model.
But things are different now; times have changed.
It's not that this era no longer values reputation, but rather that Qin Huairu has lost her reputation, which no longer binds her. Therefore, she panicked. She had to keep Qin Huairu.
Doesn't she know what a "bang geng" looks like?
He calls her his "good grandson" all the time, but when it really comes down to it, only Qin Huairu is someone he can rely on.
Bang Geng was different. He wasn't the same kind of person as Jia Zhangshi. Or rather, he was stupid and wicked. After hearing about Qin Huairu and Wang Shouren's affair, he wanted to go home and confront his mother. But clearly, this young man was no match for his mother. In a fit of rage, he blurted out, "I don't have a mother like you!" After saying that, he ignored Qin Huairu and stormed out.
Qin Huairu paused for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, continuing to pack her things. She was leaving; she hadn't had any expectations of Bang Geng to begin with, and she hadn't taken his words to heart.
Seeing Qin Huairu packing her things, Jia Zhangshi became anxious and snatched the things from her hands, saying, "You're not leaving!"
“Jia Zhangshi.” Qin Huairu looked at her coldly.
"You're not leaving! Let me tell you, you surnamed Qin, you were born a member of the Jia family, and you'll die a ghost of the Jia family!"
Jia Zhangshi spoke harshly, but inwardly she was panicked. She had experienced many things in her life, big and small, and knew what kind of people they were. Whether in the countryside or the city, as long as you were ruthless enough, you could always gain a foothold. But now, facing Qin Huairu, she had an indescribable feeling, similar to the feeling she had when facing Director Ma years ago.
No, it's even more formidable than when facing Director Ma back then.
She didn't realize that this was a display of confidence and disdain.
Over the years, Qin Huairu and Wang Shouren haven't simply been playing cards in bed. They've been genuinely getting to know everything about this world.
Previously, Madam Jia had subconsciously overlooked Qin Huairu's imposing presence because she dared not imagine what she would do if Qin Huairu left one day. But now, Qin Huairu was truly leaving, and she was helpless.
What threats are you using?
Threatening with a stick-shaped pheasant?
No, that doesn't make sense.
She knows herself just how ruthless a woman can be when she's ready to be cruel.
Qin Huairu looked at her indifferently and simply said, "Let go!"
"I won't let go! Huaihua, Xiaodang, you two quickly try to persuade your mother!"
Huaihua and Xiaodang stood silently behind their mother.
Madam Jia was stunned: "What do you mean!"
“Let’s go with Mom,” said the young Huaihua. “Don’t you like your brother? Let him stay and keep you company. Besides, my sister and I are fine going somewhere; we won’t stay.”
They'd had enough of this house long ago.
The two girls were no pushovers either. Xiao Dang had already discovered the relationship between Qin Huairu and Wang Shouren long ago.
After all, these days, if you pay a little attention, it's quite easy to notice these kinds of things when living under the same roof.
The mother and her two daughters had a frank talk. From then on, the two girls often came to the backyard to eat. Wang Shouren didn't mind; having two more girls wouldn't be a big burden for him. Besides, the two girls were quite cute, and teaching one was the same as teaching both. So, the two girls ate and studied at the same time.
After the college entrance examination was reinstated, they all got into good universities. This time, they're just back for a holiday.
