Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

"Uncle Yi, please tell me what you need. I will definitely help you if I can."

Qin Huairu hadn't reacted yet. In her opinion, Yi Zhonghai was Jia Dongxu's master, and he would not harm her no matter what.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu and whispered:

"Huai Ru, you also know that Uncle Yi and your Aunt Zhao haven't had a child for so many years. I went to the hospital for a check-up some time ago. The doctor said that there is nothing wrong with my body. The main problem of not being able to have a child is with your Aunt Zhao."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Qin Huairu felt inexplicably uneasy, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Uncle Yi, I... I don't really understand what you mean."

Yi Zhonghai stared at Qin Huairu's face and suddenly smiled meaningfully.

"Huai Ru, you should know what I mean. I will not beat around the bush and just say it straight. Uncle Yi hopes that you can help me give birth to a child of my own. As long as you can help me realize this wish, I will not only help you transfer to another position, but also give you a sum of money every month in the future."

When Qin Huairu heard Yi Zhonghai say this, she was so scared that she took a few steps back.

"Uncle Yi! Please don't joke with me like this. You... You are Dongxu's master!"

Qin Huairu only felt that the Mr. Yi in front of her was so strange and scary.

He had always been a good guy before.

I didn't expect that the other party would actually set his sights on me.

Since Yi Zhonghai has decided to reveal his cards, he simply stops pretending.

He glanced at Qin Huairu calmly and said:

"It's true that I am Dongxu's master, but Dongxu is dead. And Huairu, it must be difficult for you to be a widow with three children now. Why don't you follow me in the future? Although I can't give you a formal status for the time being, I can still guarantee that you will have enough food and drink with my current salary."

There was no way Qin Huairu would agree to this now. She quickly shook her head and refused:

"Master, this is impossible! If a widow gives birth to a child, wouldn't that be adultery? How can I live my life if people find out?"

Yi Zhonghai patiently said:

"Huai Ru, I have thought about this for you. When the time comes, just tell them that you want to remarry and leave the Jia family, and I will then arrange for you to give birth to a child in the countryside. And if Gui Lan leaves in the future, I will marry you."

When Qin Huairu heard Yi Zhonghai say that he wanted to marry her, she just felt sick.

She looked at Yi Zhonghai with disgust and said coldly:

"Uncle Yi, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I'm blind, so just pretend I never came to see you today."

Qin Huairu said this and prepared to turn around and leave.

But she was immediately stopped by Yi Zhonghai.

"Huai Ru, don't rush to refuse this. There is something I forgot to tell you. The master who is leading you now is actually my apprentice."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but turn around and look at Yi Zhonghai in surprise.

Yi Zhonghai now completely tore off his disguise and looked Qin Huairu up and down with an unscrupulous look on his face and said indifferently:

"You should be able to guess why I want to tell you this. I am not afraid to tell you that no matter which position you are transferred to, my face as Yi Zhonghai will be good."

Qin Huairu felt like she was falling into an icy cave at this moment.

She looked at Yi Zhonghai in disbelief and opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Seeing Qin Huairu's expression, Yi Zhonghai just felt very happy.

It feels so good to control other people's fate, especially when the object is a beautiful woman like Qin Huairu.

"I'll give you some time to think it over. If you agree, come find me yourself."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai no longer paid any attention to Qin Huairu and turned away.

Qin Huairu just felt extremely desperate at this moment. She wished there was someone she could rely on.

The last time I felt this desperate was when Jia Dongxu died.

Feeling her vision beginning to blur, Qin Huairu could no longer hold back and ran to the open space outside the workshop, squatted on the ground, and burst into tears.

Qin Huairu was crying.

Then she heard someone calling her.

"Sister Qin?"

When Qin Huairu heard someone she knew calling her, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and stood up.

She looked up, but she didn't expect that the person calling her was Wang Jianjun.

At this time, Wang Jianjun was wearing the factory's clothes and was accompanied by a half-grown young man.

"Jianjun? Why is it you? Why are you here?"

"I just happened to bring my brother here to start work, and I saw you, Sister Qin, when I passed by here..."

Wang Jianjun didn't expect to meet Qin Huairu at the factory.

Now think about it, wasn’t Qin Huairu the one who took over Jia Dongxu’s job after his death?

The person with him was Wang Jianshe.

Wang Jianjun is sixteen years old this year.

The minimum age to take over the steel rolling mill is sixteen, so Wang Jianjun let him help with the work at home for a few years and only brought him to the factory when he was old enough.

Originally, I was planning to find a connection to arrange for him to work with a better master.

Who knew that I would meet Qin Huairu crying on the road.

Although Wang Jianjun disliked the Jia family, since Qin Huairu had not offended him, he would not vent his anger on her.

Out of curiosity, he greeted and asked about the situation.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. I just happened to encounter some difficulties."

Qin Huairu seemed to see Wang Jianshe there, so she forced a smile and didn't mention her own affairs.

Wang Jianjun glanced at Qin Huairu.

He actually felt quite sympathetic towards the woman.

Her husband died early, and it was not easy for a woman to raise three children. On top of that, she had an unreasonable mother-in-law and a disappointing son.

Moreover, she usually sells her body in exchange for food for the sake of her own children.

The only thing that people criticize is that he and she dragged Sha Zhu around and wasted his time for several years, and also raised a son who became a thief.

As for other things, Wang Jianjun didn't think Qin Huairu had done anything unforgivable.

Most of the time, they are just forced by this era.

Out of sympathy, Wang Jianjun said something more.

"Sister Qin, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Qin Huairu didn't expect Wang Jianjun to care about her.

I thought that given the relationship between the two families, it would be good enough if Wang Jianjun didn't add insult to injury.

She looked at Wang Jianshe hesitantly, and seemed to be about to speak.

Wang Jianjun understood, and he immediately said to Wang Jianjun:

"Jianshe, go wait aside. I have something to talk to this sister about."

Wang Jianjun nodded and then ran away.

Seeing Wang Jianshe walking away, Qin Huairu hesitated for a while before briefly repeating to Wang Jianjun what Yi Zhonghai had just said to her.

She didn't expect Wang Jianjun to be of any help.

Now she just wants to find someone to talk to.

"So you're saying that Yi Zhonghai wants you to bear his child?"

Wang Jianjun was also a little surprised after hearing Qin Huairu's account of what happened.

He knew that Yi Zhonghai had always been worried about retirement issues.

Who could have thought that this old fellow at his age would still want to have sex with young girls and keep his apprentice's wife as a mistress.
