Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Although he has reached the age where he needs to work and earn money to support his family, his family's current situation does not warrant the need for Banggeng to do hard labor and carry heavy bags!

Qin Huairu felt more and more sad as she looked at the wound on her back. Although children from poor families have been responsible for their own affairs since ancient times, it was really difficult for her to do so at this point.

Sha Zhu blinked and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Regardless of how their family is doing and whether they need a young child to do hard labor, it is heartbreaking to see him suffer such a serious injury.

Then he pulled Qin Huairu aside and said, "Look, this kid has really reformed. Would he have been able to put aside his pride and do hard labor in the past? How about we help him?"

Sha Zhu wanted to help, but he had to get Qin Huairu's consent.

If Qin Huairu doesn't agree, then everything is useless.

You might end up doing something bad with good intentions.

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, and her eyes involuntarily drifted towards Banggeng.

Banggeng sat on the chair and took a sip of Sanlouzi, which made the tip of his tongue a little numb due to the spiciness.

His eyes occasionally secretly look like Qin Huairu...

Qin Huairu thought a lot at this moment. Although this child is well-behaved and sensible now, he may need more training.

"Wait and see! We can explore the way here first, and tell him when things are settled. Let him have a taste of the hardships of society at this stage, so that he will know how to cherish the hard-earned good job in the future!"

Sha Zhu listened to Qin Huairu's arrangements and nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

Then the two returned to the dining table and brought another plate of fried pork with peppers.

"Come on, come on. Your mom saw that you were working so hard, so she gave you a plate of food. Eat as much as you can, and don't leave any."

When Banggeng saw Shazhu bringing the dishes, his eyes turned into crescents with joy.

"Thank you, Uncle Silly, thank you, Mom!"

As he spoke, he held the steamed bun in his left hand and took big bites of food with his right hand, eating with great relish.

My mind has gone through 180 twists and turns...

"Come on, come on, eat slowly. If it's not enough, your silly uncle will have to cook another dish. You are at the age when you are growing up, but you are doing hard labor."

Qin Huairu was picking up some food for Banggeng while she was tearing up and looked very distressed.

The mother will blame herself if she cannot give her child the best life.

After Banggeng had eaten and drunk his fill, he returned to the Jia family and fell asleep on the bed. In fact, Jia Zhang also felt sorry for the child, and was even more afraid that the child would become distant from her in the future if he was so close to Qin Huairu.

But after the Yi Zhonghai incident, she thought very clearly.

As long as Banggeng has a chance to live a better life, she will no longer back off from taking care of the child.

Because she really doesn't have the ability to help him. After all, she will have to rely on Banggeng to support her in her old age!

No matter how close his relationship with Qin Huairu is, in this courtyard, not providing care for the elderly is the biggest sin.

"Jingru, are you two asleep?"

After seeing Banggeng off, Qin Huairu came to her sister's house in the backyard.

Qin Jingru heard someone knocking on the door in the room and asked Xiao Shigan to run errands.

"Aunt, why are you here? Why are you still awake so late?"

Xiao Shiqian asked in a smart way, and then pulled Qin Huairu into the house.

Xiao Shigan has eaten a lot of meals cooked by Sha Zhu since he was a child, so he is very close to Qin Huairu's family.

"Hi, I couldn't sleep, so I thought of coming over to chat with you guys!"

Xiao Shiqian widened his eyes and pouted, "But... I can sleep! Aren't you deliberately disturbing our rest?"

Although Xiao Shigan muttered softly, Qin Huairu heard it clearly.

"You are such a small fry! Where's your mother? I have something to discuss with her!"

"Mom, my aunt wants to talk to you about something, you two should get up and wake up!"

Xiao Shiqian let out a roar and shouted towards the inner room, then took his brother back to bed and went to sleep.

Although he is very curious at this age, he has always maintained an indifferent attitude towards these trivial matters between women. You talk yours, I sleep mine, and we don't disturb each other.

Inside the house, Qin Huairu burst into tears after just saying a few words, which scared Qin Jingru and made her confused.

"What's wrong, sister? Did Shazhu bully you? I'm going to find him right now!"

Qin Jingru didn't know what was going on. She thought that it was Sha Zhu who made her unhappy. As a member of her family, she naturally couldn't just stand by and watch her cousin being bullied.

Qin Huairu quickly stopped him, "That's not true! What are you thinking! During this period, Banggeng has been eating at home every day, and Shazhu has been busy running around without any complaints. I am already very relieved."

"What? Bang Geng really eats at your house every day? Yesterday, I heard Third Aunt say this and I didn't believe it. How can it be true? If you two are short of a son, can't you just have your own children? Why do you care about that little bastard!"

Little bastard?

Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru in confusion, her eyes full of fear.

Qin Jingru also realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly explained.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I just said that because I saw that Banggeng was a very bad kid in the past. Don't you think this kid has caused enough trouble? I don't believe that he has truly changed for the better!"

Qin Huairu naturally understood this sister. Although her words were unpleasant, she was just speaking her mind.

"He has really reformed. The reason why I am so excited today is because... this kid actually went out to do hard labor and carry heavy bags, leaving his back covered in bruises. How can I not feel bad for him?"

Carrying heavy loads? Doing hard labor?

Qin Jingru swallowed her saliva and felt a little moved.

"Really? He actually put down his face and did hard labor?"

Qin Huairu nodded silently, indicating that it was absolutely true.

The two sisters chatted in the house for a long time, and Qin Jingru finally understood why her cousin visited her late at night.

"Sister, it's not that I refuse this, but... I don't think Weiguo will help!"

Seeing that Qin Jingru was in a difficult situation, Qin Huairu looked embarrassed.

"Sister, you said that as a mother, I can't just watch my child suffer. Now our family's Weiguo has the ability to help. He has a wide network of contacts and knows leaders. With a little help, he can definitely help Banggeng find a job, even if it's not a formal job!"

Qin Huairu was just trying to settle for the second best and give herself a way out.

But Qin Jingru pursed her lips, indicating that this matter was not that simple.

"Sister, I've made note of this. I'll discuss this with Weiguo when I get back to the room, but don't blame me if it succeeds or not!"

Hearing Qin Jingru give in, Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know that Banggeng was a bad kid in the past, but he was led astray by Jia Zhang. Now he wants to turn over a new leaf, and as an elder we can't deny him a chance! He only needs a job to turn things around!"

Qin Huairu once again emphasized the importance of work, and Qin Jingru agreed.

"After all, Banggeng was just an ignorant child. How could a child have any bad intentions?"

The more Qin Jingru listened, the more confused she felt. She felt like the couple had been brainwashed by Banggeng. They kept speaking for Banggeng and showed the selfless dedication of a parent. They believed that as long as their child could live a good life, they would do anything.

"Okay, I know about it! The weather is quite cold, you should go back first, sister! I'll tell you when I have any news."

As she spoke, Qin Jingru found a piece of clothing for Qin Huairu to put on, fearing that the strong wind would freeze her on the way back.
