1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Yan Bugui glanced at the third aunt, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I dare not say anything else, but the chickens of the Jia family are definitely not from a legitimate source.

Look at the way Jia Zhangshi was trying to cover up something just now, she thought she was hiding it well, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

Qin Huairu might have done something shameful in the factory.

Otherwise, with Jia Zhang's protective and aggressive personality, would she allow others to spread bad things about Qin Huairu?"

On the other side, the second aunt brought Liu Guangfu back home, still muttering to herself, expressing her indignation at Jia Zhang's behavior just now.

However, she did not blame Liu Guangfu for fighting. After all, from what she heard from them, Banggeng really asked for it. Everyone else was avoiding him, but he still took the initiative to provoke and get a fight.

After the residents of the courtyard dispersed, they continued to talk about Jia Zhang's behavior, and their words were full of contempt.

When people gathered in groups of three or four, the topic of conversation always revolved around the affairs of the Jia family.

Qin Huairu, also benefited from this incident, and became the focus of everyone's attention in the courtyard. All kinds of speculations and rumors spread quickly in the courtyard as if they had wings.

In the east wing, Li Weiguo's mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

I thought to myself: In these days when entertainment options are extremely scarce, with no TV to watch and no cell phones to play with, daily life is as dull as boiled water.

It's so hard to have such a farce about to be staged, just like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples. We must watch it carefully, just to add some fun to these boring days and relieve our boredom.

He walked slowly to the bedside, lay down, and rested his hands comfortably behind his head, waiting for the night to fall and the show to officially begin, as if everything that was about to happen was just a wonderful performance prepared for him.

At the Jia family's side, Jia Zhang looked out at the yard through the dusty glass, her brows furrowed, her heart beating like a drum.

As soon as she brought Banggeng back to the house, the whispers in the yard surged into her ears like a tide, and the focus of everyone's discussion was not Banggeng and her, but Qin Huairu, who worked in the factory to earn money.

Jia Zhang was filled with remorse, blaming herself for being too impulsive and reckless. She only thought about how Bang Geng should not be wronged, but she did not consider the impact on Qin Huairu if the matter became a big deal.

She knew better than anyone that the origin of the chicken leg must be shady.

What if Qin Huairu is questioned but can't explain it clearly, what should she do?

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Jia Zhang's palms and her back felt slightly cold. She paced back and forth in the room, feeling uneasy.

Banggeng was completely unaware of his grandmother's worries. He was sniffing his nose and looking at his grandmother's abnormal behavior with a puzzled look on his face.

Ever since he entered the house, he had prepared himself to be scolded, but after waiting for a long time, his grandmother showed no intention of mentioning the matter.

Banggeng secretly rejoiced in his heart and slowly moved towards the door, glancing at his grandmother from time to time. Seeing that his grandmother didn't notice, he ran out of the house like a wild horse.

He selectively put aside what he had just done and happily went to play with his "good friends".

In the steel rolling mill, Qin Huairu was busy working, surrounded by the roar of machines. The smell of machine oil filled the air, mixed with the sweat of her co-workers.

Suddenly, her right eye began to twitch without any warning. The rhythm of the twitching was like a small hammer, hitting her heartstrings again and again, making her feel upset.

She had an ominous feeling in her heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

Qin Huairu tried to remain calm, gently covered her right eye with her hand, and pretended to look around casually. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly took off her sleeves, stood up, left her work station, and walked towards the factory.

In recent days, Li Huaide has been particularly concerned about her.

I made an agreement with her the day before yesterday that I would give her 30 kilograms of food coupons today.

The two have gone on many dates and have developed some "understanding" with each other.

In Qin Huairu's eyes, although Li Huaide is married and philandering, he is indeed very powerful and can solve many of her life's problems.

However, she mentioned the issue of salary increase many times, but Li Huaide never agreed.

Qin Huairu went to the toilet first. After coming out, she looked around carefully to make sure that no one was paying attention. Then, like a thief, she walked towards the old warehouse where she had agreed to meet with Li Huaide.

In the past, in addition to dating here, they would occasionally meet in Li Huaide’s office.

But after all, there are too many people in the office, and Qin Huairu always feels uncomfortable and can't move freely.

Later, Li Huaide changed the date location to this old warehouse.

When approaching the old warehouse, Qin Huairu faintly heard voices coming from inside.

Her steps stopped instantly, and her body froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Could it be that Li Huaide has other lovers besides her? When this thought came to her mind, Qin Huairu suddenly felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.

She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the movement inside, her heart in her throat.

Inside the warehouse, Li Huaide was looking at Liu Lan with a broad smile on his face, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, waiting for Liu Lan to give him a satisfactory answer.

This Liu Lan was quite pretty, not inferior to Qin Huairu at all, and even more charming in some aspects.

But her husband was a good-for-nothing who indulged in drinking, whoring and gambling, and neglected his family, leaving Liu Lan with the burden of raising the child alone.

Li Huaide is well aware of Liu Lan's predicament. He believes that under the pressure of life, Liu Lan will do as he wishes.

After all, he could give Liu Lan much more than what she had now.

Liu Lan lowered her head and nervously twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, which became wrinkled.

After a long time, she finally mustered up the courage and whispered, "I promise you."

After saying that, her face instantly turned red, like a blooming rose, and she turned away shyly.

Li Huaide was the only one left. Looking at her graceful back, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva secretly, feeling secretly proud in his heart: This Liu Lan must be more to his liking than Qin Huairu.

In the alley outside the warehouse, Qin Huairu clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Her heart was like a pot of mixed feelings, with all kinds of emotions flooding into her mind.

She knew very well that in Li Huaide's eyes, she was just a plaything for his amusement. As long as he gave her some benefits, she would have to obediently cater to all his demands.

She had no power to interfere in Li Huaide's affairs with other women.

Although Li Huaide was still nice to her at the moment, she understood that all this was just a passing cloud. One day, Li Huaide would get tired of her and abandon her.

Qin Huairu secretly swore in her heart that she could not just sit there and wait for death anymore and must make plans early.

After she calmed down a little, she straightened her dark blue work clothes, took a deep breath, straightened her chest, pretended nothing had happened, and walked into the warehouse with confidence.
