Siheyuan: The Cellar

After dinner, Gao Huilan cleaned up and brought the meal to the deaf old lady in the backyard.

During the time Yi Zhonghai was in prison, Old Lady Long stopped coming to Yi Zhonghai's house for dinner. Instead, she went even further and asked Gao Huilan to deliver the food to her directly.

Gao Huilan didn't know what was wrong with her, but she actually agreed to this request.

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything about this.

After all, Qin Huairu might need the deaf old lady's favor soon for work. He would not fall out with the deaf old lady at this time.

After Gao Huilan left, Yi Zhonghai made himself a cup of Gaosui and drank tea like a big boss while lying on the recliner.

As for the dishes on the dining table? A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, so Yi Zhonghai would definitely not wash them.

But at this moment, Qin Huairu pushed the door and walked in.

"Master, what do you think I should do now? Chen Guoliang and Liu Li are unwilling to accept the settlement!"

As soon as she entered the house, Qin Huairu started crying.

"Huai Ru is here, hurry up and sit down and talk. Your belly is bigger now, it's not like before, you can't cry easily."

As for Qin Huairu's words, Yi Zhonghai had no intention of responding at all. Instead, he became concerned about Qin Huairu's health.

"Master, I don't have the mood to sit down now! I went to ask about it before. If Dongxu is sentenced, his position and current house may be taken back by the factory.

What should I do with my unborn baby?"

Hearing Qin Huairu talking about the baby in her belly, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but move his gaze to Qin Huairu's lower abdomen.

Qin Huairu is now two months pregnant, although it has not yet shown much, but because of the changes in hormone secretion in the body.

This makes Qin Huairu look even more charming and attractive than usual.

As Yi Zhonghai watched, he couldn't help but feel a little dry in the mouth.

My throat moved up and down unconsciously.

The body slowly began to stand up.

Qin Huairu, who was sitting opposite Yi Zhonghai, naturally noticed these subtle changes.

He couldn't help but secretly curse Yi Zhonghai for being disrespectful to his elders.

But when she thought about how miserable she would be if Jia Dongxu was really sentenced, would she have to go back to the countryside with her child in disgrace?

I finally got married to the city. How can I go back so easily?

Isn't it because I can't let go of my identity as a city dweller that I have been tolerant of Jia Zhang again and again?

Otherwise, based on his temper in the village, he would have beaten Jia Zhang to a pulp long ago.

No, I have finally made it to the city and I absolutely cannot go back to the countryside.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu made up his mind, stood up and sat next to Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, please help me think of a solution!"

Qin Huairu held Yi Zhonghai's arm and shook him, luckily Yi Zhonghai was almost confused.

However, Yi Zhonghai is not a fool after all. He will get confused at the slightest hint of something sweet. He is a man who will not release his eagle until he sees the rabbit.

How could I compromise for such a small profit?

He pretended to cough twice to calm himself down.

Then he said righteously: "Huai Ru, what are you doing? It will be disgraceful if others see you. Don't worry, Dong Xu is my disciple. If I don't help him, who will?"

The words sounded righteous, but Qin Huairu felt disgusted in his heart.

You say you are so upright. What are you doing with your hands? Don't move!

But on the surface, Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai with gratitude and said, "Master, even if I have to work like a cow or a horse, I will repay you."

"That's not necessary. It's fine like this."

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard this. Is that it? What?

Yi Zhonghai didn't give Qin Huairu a chance to respond. He then said, "But having said that, I don't have any solution for Dongxu for the time being.

Although I have worked for so many years and know some people, most of the people I know are concentrated in the fields I am familiar with.

Dongxu has now been transferred to the procuratorate. What will happen to him in the end depends on his fate. I can do nothing about this."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu suddenly felt very disappointed, as if she had been taken advantage of for free. She was just about to let go of the two hands that were holding Yi Zhonghai's arms.

Unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai gasped while talking to him.

"However! Although I can't do anything about Dongxu's trial, I can still say a few words about the factory."

"Really? Master?"

Qin Huairu was overjoyed, and even her voice became excited.

"Well, but the problem now is, even if I can keep your job in the factory, who will go to work, you or your mother-in-law?"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's originally excited mood calmed down.

Yes! Even if the job is saved, what does it matter? Dongxu is in prison, who will go to work?

Jia Zhang? Qin Huairu couldn't imagine how Jia Zhang would react if she made this request.

What about herself? But when Qin Huairu thought about how she worked so hard just to support Jia Zhangshi, a lazy old woman, she was furious.

Moreover, even if I wanted to go, I couldn’t go now! How could I go to work when my belly was only two months old?

Besides, did you work so hard to marry and move to the city just to work?

For a moment, Qin Huairu fell into deep thought.

Yi Zhonghai naturally also saw Qin Huairu's dilemma.

Then he said, "Forget it. Actually, I wasn't too sure about this matter. So let it be!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Huairu immediately became anxious. Then, he made up his mind.

Even if you work in the city, you are still a city dweller, right?

It's better than working in the countryside, facing the earth and being exposed to the wind and sun every day!

"No, Master, our family cannot live without this position! Please help me! I will take over the position, I can do the work."

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai showed an embarrassment on his face.

"Huai Ru! Let me tell you the truth! Originally, I was only 50% sure of doing this. You are pregnant now, how can you take over the job? If you want to go, you will have to wait until next year. In this case, my confidence is even lower!"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Qin Huairu suddenly panicked and hugged Yi Zhonghai's arm and shook it again.

But Yi Zhonghai seemed to be asleep, lying on the recliner, motionless.

Qin Huairu was extremely anxious when she saw that Yi Zhonghai did not accept the challenge.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai lying on the recliner with his legs stretched out and swaying, he made up his mind again.

He stood up and walked in front of Yi Zhonghai, then held his waist and knelt down carefully.
