Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

After returning home, Jia Dongxu put the lunch box in his hand on the cabinet beside him and asked, "Mom, you accompanied Huairu to the hospital today. What did the doctor say?!"

"What else can I say?! I'm pregnant!" Jia Zhang replied sullenly, and continued to mend the soles of the shoes in her hands that were already patinated.

"Pregnant?!" Jia Dongxu's face immediately showed a surprised expression, and he said: "Good! Good! Good! Huairu! If you can give birth to a big fat boy this time, you will be a hero of our Jia family!"

Jia Zhang added at the right time: "If you give birth to another money-loser, you will get out of our Jia family!"

"Mom! What are you talking about?! If she's gone, who will give birth to my child?! At most, I can find a suitable family and give the child away." After saying that, Jia Dongxu walked to the table and sat down. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took two puffs, then said: "Mom, go find Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui later. Ask them to find a way to get the people in the yard to help our family."

Jia Zhang learned her lesson this time and did not agree immediately. She asked hesitantly, "Son, is this possible? Even if they both agree, they still won't be able to get past the Street Office, right?!"

Jia Dongxu said: "No matter what, it's always a good idea to give it a try. We can't let the baby starve to death before it's even born, right?!"

Jia Zhang thought about it and finally compromised: "Okay! I'll go to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui later."

Jia Dongxu continued, "Take Qin Huairu with you!" Then he looked at Qin Huairu and said, "If they don't agree. Qin Huairu, do you know what to do?!"

Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat. She looked at Jia Dongxu with fear in her eyes. Her body shivered unconsciously. She agreed obediently, "I know."

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai returned home. Liu Guiying made tea as usual and handed the teacup to Yi Zhonghai. But today Liu Guiying said to Yi Zhonghai mysteriously: "Old Yi, Qin Huairu is pregnant!"

"What?!" Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and asked with a smile: "How did you know?!"

Liu Guixiang said: "Mrs. Jia Zhang came back from the hospital with Qin Huairu and started cursing at the door of her house, saying that she couldn't even support herself, and yet she wanted to give birth to a child. Isn't this going to kill the Jia family?!"

Yi Zhonghai's face changed instantly and he said, "Is what Jia Zhang said a human language?! What do you mean you can't even support your own family and yet you want to give birth to a child and threaten the Jia family's life?!"

Liu Guixiang said, "There are floods and droughts in our courtyard." Then Liu Guixiang suddenly said, "Old Yi, if Qin Huairu gives birth to a child and the Jia family doesn't want it, can we take it over and raise it?!"

Yi Zhonghai asked: "Why do you think so?!"

Liu Guiying replied: "I just said it casually!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Wife, it's not that I don't want to bring this child here to raise. If Qin Huairu's baby is a son, the Jia family will definitely not let the child go. If it's a daughter, we just need to pay some money and ask the Jia family to bring it over, there will be absolutely no problem. But our two families are neighbors. If we see each other every day, I'm afraid that after a long time, the child will know her own background and won't be able to be raised well."

Liu Guiying said, "Old Yi, if it really doesn't work, let's move! Move out of this courtyard. That way, no one will gossip about us."

Yi Zhonghai asked: "What should we do with the deaf old lady?!"

Liu Guiying replied: "I will go and persuade the old lady to move with us when the time comes."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. Moving out of this courtyard would just avoid some trouble. After hesitating for a while, Yi Zhonghai said, "Find a chance to talk to the old lady about this and see how she reacts."

"Hey!" Liu Guiying responded and left the house.

It was eight o'clock in the evening. Seeing that her husband looked very worried, the third aunt could not help but ask, "What's wrong?! You have been absent-minded all night?!"

Yan Bugui said, "Look, Qin Huairu is pregnant. According to the Jia family's past practices, they will definitely come to our housekeeper. It's already this time, and Jia Zhangshi hasn't come to find us?!"

The third aunt smiled and joked, "It's good that she didn't come. What?! Are you upset because she didn't come?!"

Yan Bugui quickly replied: "No way! I just think it's a little abnormal."

It is said that people pick on the weak. In Jia Zhang's eyes, of the two managers in the courtyard, Yan Bugui has become a tough guy and is not easy to deal with. In her eyes, Liu Haizhong is a soft persimmon. Two hours ago, around six o'clock, Jia Zhang took Qin Huairu to the backyard to find Liu Haizhong. However, Liu Haizhong did not show up, so Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were pushed back by Liu Haizhong's wife. After being frustrated in the backyard, Jia Zhang did not want to go to the front yard to find Yan Bugui.

After a while, Yan Bugui saw that it was almost time, so he walked to the door, closed it, locked it, and went back to his room to sleep.

Just after midnight, Yi Zhonghai climbed out of bed. Liu Guiying was awakened by Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Old Yi, it's so late, what are you doing?!"

Yi Zhonghai replied: "I haven't had a bowel movement for two days. I just had a stomachache, so I'm going to the toilet outside. You can continue to sleep!"

"Hey! Be careful!" Liu Guiying didn't doubt him and turned around to continue sleeping.

Yi Zhonghai pretended to take some toilet paper and went out. Not long after, Qin Huairu also came out of the house. A quarter of an hour later, Qin Huairu came to the place where she and Yi Zhonghai had a tryst. Seeing Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu said straight to the point: "I guess you already know about my pregnancy?! When will you help me arrange a job?!"

Yi Zhonghai replied: "Don't worry! I'm already thinking of a way. Even if I give you a job now, you can't do it."

Qin Huairu said: "Whether you can do it or not is none of your business. Just give me the job."

"Okay, I will find a way to arrange your job as soon as possible." After saying that, Yi Zhonghai reached out and touched Qin Huairu's face, thinking to himself: "It is said that if you want to be pretty, you have to be filial. When Jia Dongxu dies, Qin Huairu will have a job." Halfway through his thought, Yi Zhonghai showed a strange smile on his face. Although this smile was short, it did not escape Qin Huairu's eyes. Qin Huairu was frightened by Yi Zhonghai's smile and felt that Yi Zhonghai was a devil. A devil that she could not get rid of.

Qin Huairu quickly calmed herself down and said, "Yi Zhonghai, can you give me some money and tickets?!"

As if he had been prepared, Yi Zhonghai took out twenty yuan and ten kilograms of food coupons from his pocket and said, "Use them first. We'll talk if it's not enough."

Qin Huairu collected the money and tickets and said, "I've been out for too long. I'm going back first!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu's back, narrowed his eyes, and began to think about how to send Jia Dongxu away.

About five or six minutes later, Yi Zhonghai had just entered the house when Liu Haizhong came out from the backyard. Yi Zhonghai heard the footsteps and immediately hid by the window. He opened a corner of the curtain and saw Liu Haizhong walking past the door. Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "Where is Liu Haizhong going so late at night?!" Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai opened the door and quietly followed him out.

Yi Zhonghai followed Liu Haizhong all the way to the entrance of Pigeon City. Yi Zhonghai watched Liu Haizhong enter Pigeon City, and seeing that he could not find any evidence, he could only return to the courtyard first.
