Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

After get off work, the courtyard began to bustle with people talking about things. As soon as Qin Huairu entered the house, Jia Zhang glared at her with triangular eyes and began to question her, "Qin Huairu, how did you do in the exam this time?"

Qin Huairu pretended not to hear anything and continued to cook dinner. When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu pretending to be confused, she knew that she must have failed the exam. Her face immediately darkened, "Why? Didn't that old fellow Yi Zhonghai help you?"

Qin Huairu's face turned red and white. Her mother-in-law's sarcastic words made her blush. Ever since she and Yi Zhonghai were blocked in the cellar last time, although Yi Zhonghai told others that he was delivering food to her family, everyone in the yard knew that Yi Zhonghai and she were having an affair.

It's just that no one bothered to tell anyone about it, except for one person of course, and that person was Sha Zhu. It was not known whether Sha Zhu really didn't understand or was pretending to be confused. He believed whatever Yi Zhonghai said and had no doubt about his relationship with Yi Zhonghai at all.

But after my mother-in-law returned home, she returned to her old ways. After I made a fuss before, my mother-in-law had been well behaved for a few months, taking care of the children and cooking. But since this incident, my mother-in-law returned to her old ways and lived the life of an old lady again.

He would pinch Qin Huairu or say something mean to her from time to time, and Qin Huairu had to endure it because she was in the wrong.

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly, knowing that if she didn't speak up, her mother-in-law would probably say something unpleasant.

Banggeng and Xiaodang are in the room now, and she can't let the children hear this.

"Mom, during the assessment, the factory leaders and other masters were in charge, and the uncle was not motivated at all."

"Hmph, you will definitely not be able to use any strength when you get old." Jia Zhang gave Qin Huairu a blank look.

"Qin Huairu, I still say the same thing. I am old and can't control you, but you should also take care of your three children and don't let them go out and be pointed at by others. Also, you are the daughter-in-law of my Jia family. Now there are no adult men in my Jia family. Don't give me a child."

At this time, Jia Zhang's words were already very impolite, and these words deeply hurt Qin Huairu's heart. She felt very wronged. She and Yi Zhonghai had compromised, but was it because she couldn't keep it? No, if it wasn't for the child, how could she be with such an old man?

Qin Huairu's tears were falling, and Jia Zhang saw this and cursed her as a "fox spirit."

Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, and then said to Banggeng and Xiaodang, "Go play in the yard first. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

Banggeng, who was curled up on the stool, stood up immediately after hearing this and pulled Xiaodang out.

Although he didn't understand what grandma said to mom just now, when he saw Qin Huairu crying, he knew that grandma was bullying mom again. But he was so scared that he could only shrink there.

After Banggeng and Xiaodang left, Qin Huairu closed the door and said to Jia Zhang: "Mom, I think we need to have a good talk."

Jia Zhang snorted coldly and turned her face away from Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu didn't care and continued, "Mom, I know you don't like me, but do I want to be with that old man Yi Zhonghai? That old man Yi Zhonghai wants me to give birth to a child for him."

"What?" Jia Zhang turned around in shock. This was clearly bullying the Jia family because they had no one. A family of widows, and suddenly someone was pregnant, that clearly meant something was wrong. If people got to know about it, their family would be in trouble.

"This is going to kill our family!" Jia Zhang opened her mouth and wanted to howl, but Qin Huairu stopped her in time, "Mom, stop yelling and listen to what I have to say."

Jia Zhang retracted her "magic power" and looked at Qin Huairu to see what she could say.

"Mom, I went to the hospital before I went to work and asked the doctor to put me in an IUD. Doesn't Yi Zhonghai want a child? I'll make sure he's extinct."

Jia Zhang was shocked by the news revealed by Qin Huairu. Looking at her daughter-in-law with eyes full of hatred, Jia Zhang didn't know what to say.

"So you plan to keep doing this from now on?"

Qin Huairu did not answer Jia Zhang's question, so Jia Zhang continued, "Doesn't Sha Zhu like you too? Why don't you marry him? Then we can at least live in the same yard, and you can take care of the child."

Qin Huairu shook her head. She knew that this was Jia Zhang's way of testing her. She was afraid that she would abandon the child to live a good life, but she really looked down on Sha Zhu.

"Mom, don't you understand now? Shazhu likes to be ambiguous with me, likes this kind of close yet distant feeling, and even likes to have a relationship with me, but deep down he still hopes to marry a working virgin."

"He really doesn't like me." Qin Huairu laughed at herself. "Just like what happened a few days ago, can Sha Zhu really not see anything? Everyone in the hospital actually knows what's going on, but Sha Zhu is just pretending to be confused. If he really wanted to marry me, he would have beaten Yi Zhonghai up if he encountered such a thing. But what about now?"

"He's just watching the fun. Humph, I finally understand. Even if I get together with Shazhu, I won't let him have an easy life."

Qin Huairu's gloomy expression frightened Jia Zhang. She had never seen Qin Huairu with such an expression before. The strong unwillingness and hatred in her words frightened Jia Zhang.

"Huai Ru, what do you think should happen to our family?" Jia Zhang became even more worried.

Qin Huairu was relieved when she saw her mother-in-law's tone softened. She was really afraid that Jia Zhang would make a big deal out of it. By that time, neither family would be in a good situation.

"Mom, let's keep it as it is now. We will slowly raise Bang Geng up. When he grows up, we will go after those who bullied us."

Jia Zhang sighed helplessly, "Then you should work hard and try to get promoted to a higher level."

It would be fine if she didn't talk about this. Once she talked about this, Qin Huairu became even angrier. "Mom, you don't know. Old Yi Zhonghai didn't teach me any skills. I didn't understand anything, so I wanted to ask him. He just said a few words and then stopped talking. I went to ask others for advice, but most of the people in the workshop were old Yi Zhonghai's disciples. They didn't teach me any skills at all."

Jia Zhang's face turned red with anger. Yi Zhonghai wanted to control the Jia family in this way. It was a good plan.

"Huai Ru, you're right. We can only endure it now. Doesn't he want someone to take care of him in his old age? Then we'll just have to wait and see."

Today, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had their talk and reached a united front. It also marked that Qin Huairu really became the black lotus in the play.
