Sha Zhu had originally planned to kick Hu Youyu out. Since his sister was unwilling, he certainly couldn't let anyone directly into the rain-soaked room. But Qin Huairu's sudden words put him in a dilemma.
"Brother, get rid of them. I don't want them here," He Yushui continued.
But after she finished speaking, Sha Zhu turned his gaze to Qin Huairu, waiting for further instructions, which infuriated He Yushui.
"He Yuzhu, are you even my brother? Are you just going to stand by and watch someone bully me? If you don't get rid of this person right now, I'll immediately sever all ties with you. From now on, I'll go my own way, and you can go yours." He Yushui's angry brother turned into He Yuzhu again.
"Rain, don't be so stubborn. Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. Since you, Aunt Jia, have already brought them home, what's wrong with you talking to them?"
"Let's get to know each other first. If it's really not a good fit, then we can talk about something else, okay?" Seeing that Sha Zhu was about to give in, Qin Huairu had no choice but to take matters into her own hands.
She understood her mother-in-law's thoughts; it was nothing more than the referral fee and possibly He Yushui's house.
"Sister-in-law Jia, it's none of your business how I handle my affairs. You said you'd introduce me to someone, but did anyone tell me beforehand or ask for my opinion?"
Besides, I, He Yushui, am a high school graduate with a decent job. What kind of man can't I find? Why would I want to find a man in his forties?
"If you ask me, Sister-in-law Jia, haven't you been widowed for several years? Why don't you ask Aunt Jia to introduce you to someone? It's good to keep the good stuff in the family. If they don't like you, Aunt Jia can marry into the family."
Ignoring her brother's frantic winks from the side, He Yushui unleashed all her attacks on Qin Huairu. Despite Yushui's quiet nature, she can be quite sharp-tongued when she wants to argue.
Qin Huairu's face flushed red and then turned pale as she was being scolded. Even Jia Zhangshi never imagined she would one day be married off. Before Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi could speak, Hu Youyu spoke first.
"Little sister, don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly look down on this woman? I do like her. As for that Jia family's eldest sister-in-law, if it's possible, you could marry your daughter-in-law to me. I think she's quite nice too," Hu Youyu quickly defended herself.
While in the cell, he noticed that Jia Zhangshi's daughter-in-law was beautiful. Although she had given birth, she had a unique charm that suited his taste.
Madam Jia never expected that introducing a potential partner would lead to her daughter-in-law being introduced to someone else; it was truly a pleasant surprise. If it weren't for her grandchildren and the thought of having someone to support her in her old age, she would have actually wanted to marry Qin Huairu off for that hundred yuan.
But when the time comes, should Hu Youyu call her sister-in-law or follow Qin Huairu's example and call her mother-in-law? For a moment, Jia Zhangshi fell into deep thought.
"He Yushui, what nonsense are you talking about? Today is Aunt Jia's blind date for you, why are you talking about such irrelevant things?"
It's getting late, so just chat with them briefly.
When Sha Zhu heard that Qin Huairu was going to be married off, he was furious and blurted out whatever came to mind.
“Okay, He Yuzhu, from now on you are you and I am me, we have no relation. We will separate our households later and live our own lives from now on,” He Yushui cried.
“Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, today this guy from the outer courtyard came to our courtyard and insisted on entering my room. What do you think we should do? I’m all alone in this courtyard and have no one to rely on but you three uncles in charge.”
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui had originally been watching the commotion from the sidelines. In such matters, with people from the compound involved, they generally couldn't interfere. But now that He Yushui had gone this far, they had to step in.
“Hu Youyu, He Yushui doesn’t want to see you, so you should go back,” Yi Zhonghai advised.
"No way. I'm here now, what kind of blind date is it if I don't even go through the door? I'm definitely going to go through this door today." Hu Youyu realized at this point that she seemed to have been tricked, so naturally she was unwilling to give in.
"You're not going back, huh? See if these young people in our compound will let you in. Jie Cheng, Guang Tian, Xiao Li..."
Liu Haizhong had been in leadership for some time, and his official demeanor grew increasingly arrogant. He began to boss around the young people in the compound.
Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's shout, the young men in the compound immediately stepped forward and surrounded Hu Youyu. These men had long disliked him and wanted to beat him up.
"No, we're all family here. I don't necessarily want to go in for a blind date, but Sister-in-law Jia took 5 yuan from me as a matchmaker, so she should return it to me."
Surrounded by so many people, Hu Youyu began to back down, but he betrayed Jia Zhangshi. It turned out that Jia Zhangshi had already received 5 yuan from the matchmaker for the introduction, and if things went well, there would be more money, which explained why Jia Zhangshi was so eager.
No one expected that Jia Zhangshi would be so treacherous, even betraying people in her own compound. Everyone was whispering and gossiping about the Jia family.
"Why would you want to back out? Just go on the blind date. Nobody can do anything to you. Sha Zhu is Yu Shui's brother. If Sha Zhu agrees, no one else will dare to do anything to you."
"If they dare to hit you, I'll call the police immediately and have them all thrown in jail." A refund is out of the question; Jia Zhangshi is prepared to stand her ground.
Hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, the other young men in the compound hesitated to act. Since Sha Zhu had agreed, it was a family matter; if they really beat him, they might end up in jail. They relaxed slightly, waiting for the elders' instructions.
However, Liu Haizhong and the others were intimidated by Jia Zhangshi and dared not say anything more about hitting her. The key was that Sha Zhu was on her side, so they really couldn't say anything.
"What are you afraid of? Beat him up, and then we'll take him to the police station. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."
This scumbag dares to act like a hooligan in our compound! Beat him to death!
Just as everyone was at a stalemate, Xu Damao, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke up. Xu Damao had initially not wanted to get involved, but he noticed that Sha Zhu, that idiot, was still hesitating at this crucial moment.
If he hadn't spoken up, none of the young people in the compound would have dared to stick their heads out, and today they might have actually succeeded with Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu's group.
No one expected Xu Damao, who had always been unenthusiastic about the compound's affairs, to speak up. But since Xu Damao had spoken, his influence far surpassed that of the other old men in the compound. Even setting aside the fact that he was the factory director, Xu Damao's relationship with the bureau leaders meant that he could get away with assaulting someone today without any consequences.
"Go, I'll beat you to death!" As a worker at the auto repair shop, Yan Jiecheng wasn't about to let someone steal the title of the first to charge. After hearing Xu Damao's words, without thinking, he raised his leg and kicked Hu Youyu.
"I'll beat you to death!" When the other young men heard that Xu Damao was willing to back him up, they followed Yan Jiecheng and rushed forward, afraid of being late.
In an instant, Hu Youyu, who had been incredibly arrogant, was beaten into a cowering position by several young men, begging for mercy.
