1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao in disbelief, her eyes wide open and her face full of astonishment.

They haven't seen each other for a long time since the last time Xu Damao said those strange things.

Why did Xu Damao suddenly bring this up?

And what did he know?

Qin Huairu's heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness.

She kept her affair with Li Dahu very secret, and she was sure that no one else would know about it.

After all, no one had ever asked about her and Li Dahu over the years, not even her parents knew about it.

What is going on with this Xu Damao?

Why did he bring it up again today?

Could it be that Xu Damao was deceiving him?

Qin Huairu was not stupid. She knew that with Xu Damao's personality, if he had caught any substantial evidence, he would have started shouting long ago. If she guessed correctly, Xu Damao was cheating her.

But I couldn't help but feel panicky. What if he really knew something?

If this matter were to be known by other people, she would not be able to stay in this courtyard.

She suppressed her panic and glared at him fiercely.

"Xu Damao, stop looking for trouble! You look so well dressed, why don't you speak human language?"

Her tone was full of anger and dissatisfaction, her brows were furrowed, and her face was slightly flushed.

After much investigation, Xu Damao believed that his idea was absolutely correct and that there must be something going on between Qin Huairu and Li Dahu.

As for why Qin Huairu did not admit it, he had his own ideas.

After all, in this day and age, no one with a normal brain would easily admit to such an ugly thing.

Xu Damao lowered his voice and said sinisterly, "Qin Huairu, stop pretending in front of me. Don't I know what kind of person you are?"

Xu Damao not only approached Qin Huairu, but also leaned towards her. His action was ambiguous and bold.

Xu Damao's words and actions completely angered Qin Huairu. She clenched her fists and her whole body was shaking slightly.

On weekdays, Qin Huairu is known in the courtyard as an honest, hardworking person who is not afraid of hardship or fatigue.

Xu Damao's words and actions today touched her sore spot.

Qin Huairu's face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes were burning with anger.

She thought to herself, Xu Damao was going too far. Why did he keep harping on this matter? Was he trying to blackmail her with this?

She quickly stepped back, glanced at the broom beside her, and without thinking, she picked it up and hit Xu Damao with it.

"Xu Damao, I will make sure you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. I will beat you to death and then turn myself in..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Damao quickly turned around and ran away.

As he ran, he turned around and shouted to Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, don't... don't... hit me! You know what you did. Don't think that just because you don't admit it, it didn't happen!"

Of course, Xu Damao was a big guy and he ran very fast. He ran out of the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Qin Huairu was so angry that her face turned red, and she chased after him with a broom in hand.

He chased him all the way to the hallway, glaring angrily at Xu Damao's back as he ran away.

Her chest heaved violently, and her eyes were full of anger and helplessness.

She didn't know what Xu Damao would do next, or whether he would make this matter public.

She was filled with worries. If Jia Dongxu knew about this, her life would become even more difficult.

What Qin Huairu didn't know was that Xu Damao had never let her down, and Jia Dongxu already knew it.

Moreover, Jia Dongxu has already shown his disgust for her, but Qin Huairu is trapped in it without realizing it because she is involved in the situation.

At this time, the third aunt came out of the house in confusion.

The panic and embarrassed look of Xu Damao just now was seen by the third aunt. She said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, what happened? Is Xu Damao's grandson acting like a jerk again?"

Qin Huairu touched the sweat on her forehead and tried to calm herself down.

She said to the third aunt, "Third aunt, I'm fine. Xu Damao doesn't speak human language, I'll teach him a lesson." After saying that, she quickly tidied her clothes and hair, trying to hide her emotions.

The third aunt looked at Qin Huairu with concern in her eyes.

"Huai Ru, Xu Damao is not a good guy. Don't bother with him. Stay away from him in the future to avoid trouble."

Qin Huairu nodded, "I understand, Third Aunt. Thank you."

Her voice was a little hoarse, and her chest rose and fell as she breathed heavily, showing that the anger in her heart had not yet completely subsided.

Qin Huairu turned around, picked up the broom, and walked towards home step by step.

She had really used up all her strength in chasing Xu Damao just now.

He suddenly relaxed, as if all his strength had been taken off his body, and his steps became heavy and slow.

She couldn't understand why it was so difficult for her to live a good life.

The invisible pressure made her so tired that she could hardly breathe.

She has worked very hard for her family.

Why does she always have a feeling that she can't get through it? This feeling makes her feel helpless.

At the beginning, as a rural girl, she was able to marry into the city, which was an enviable thing in the village.

In the surrounding area, she is considered a lucky person by her fellow villagers.

It is so difficult to marry and become a daughter-in-law in the city.

She chose Jia Dongxu after careful consideration just to live the life of a city dweller.

At that time, in order to marry into the city, she did not ask for a dowry, just to let the Jia family see her determination.

When she first married into the Jia family, life was pretty okay.

Qin Huairu was also hardworking in the Jia family, and she wanted to live a superior life. She was busy with housework every day, taking care of the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and never complained.

However, later on, there were more and more conflicts in the family.

Ever since she married into the Jia family, her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, has become lazy, greedy and has become a hands-off manager.

But Qin Huairu never said a word to her mother-in-law. After all, compared with farming and working in the village, housework in the city was nothing.

Qin Huairu had never argued with Jia Zhang. Even when her mother-in-law caused trouble outside and fought with others from time to time, she just endured it silently.

She always felt that no matter how bad life in the city was, it was better than farming in the village.

But since last year, the family's life has become increasingly difficult because her mother-in-law has been in debt, and she has become worried.

Especially now, Xu Damao seemed to know her secret, which made her even more uneasy.

She walked into the house and looked at the familiar environment around her, but her heart was full of sorrow.

She thought about her current situation, the food shortage at home, the debt burden, and the uncertain factor of Xu Damao.

She didn't know what to do in the future or how to get out of these predicaments.

"Mom? I'm hungry and I want to eat..."

Banggeng woke up, rubbed his eyes, and sat up in a daze.

Qin Huairu's thoughts were suddenly pulled back. She quickly adjusted her mentality and walked into the house with a smile: "Bang Geng is awake? Hurry up and get dressed, wash up, and we'll eat!"

"Well, Mom, can I have half a cake today? I didn't eat enough yesterday, and I'm so hungry..."

Seeing her son's thin appearance, Qin Huairu took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as Banggeng is obedient, I will eat half an extra pancake today!"
