Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

At the same time, at He Yuzhu's house.

Liu Lan, who was eating with gusto, saw He Yuzhu in a daze and couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking about?!"

He Yuzhu replied: "Nothing?!"

Liu Lan asked in a sinister tone, "Are you feeling uncomfortable after seeing Qin Huairu being beaten?!"

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned, and then continued: "It's not that I feel uncomfortable seeing Qin Huairu being beaten. I just think Jia Zhang is so abominable. She doesn't think about how to treat her daughter-in-law better and keep her. She actually thought of such a crooked way?!"

Liu Lan said, "It is said that you can know a person's face but not his heart. Qin Huairu and I are both women. Women understand women best. Qin Huairu is not a person who is content with her lot. Otherwise, there wouldn't be rumors of her having ambiguous affairs with some people in the factory from time to time." Then she joked, "Why?! You want to have a taste of her too?!"

He Yuzhu shuddered, shook his head like a rattle with a strong desire to survive, and said, "I don't have such an idea!"

Liu Lan looked very confident and warned, "There is no best! If you dare to have such an idea, be careful that I will castrate you!"

When He Yuzhu heard Liu Lan's words, he suddenly felt a chill down there, and thought to himself, "Why is this woman so intimidating?! Can't she be a little gentler?!"

More than two hours later, Qin Huairu came back. When Huaihua saw Qin Huairu, her eyes immediately turned red. She threw herself into Qin Huairu's arms with a worried look on her face and asked, "Mom, are you okay?!"

"It's okay!" Qin Huairu replied, "Wait until I finish my meal. Let's pack up and leave here."

Huaihua asked, "Mom, it's so late, where are we going to live if we leave here?!"

Qin Huairu replied, "How can you not leave a way out for yourself?! When I took over your father's job, I thought about what your grandmother might do. So I secretly applied for a dormitory in the factory. Let's go there for a while." After saying that, Qin Huairu walked to the table, sat down and asked, "Where's the steamed buns?!"

"It's heating in the pot. I'll get it for you." After saying that, Huaihua ran to the stove, lifted the lid of the pot swiftly, took out all the steamed buns inside, put them in the steamed bun basket, and brought it to Qin Huairu's side.

Probably because she had been hungry for too long, Qin Huairu grabbed a steamed bun and wolfed it down. After finishing two steamed buns in a row, Qin Huairu finally showed a satisfied expression on her face and urged, "Go pack your things first."

"Oh!" Huaihua responded and ran into the inner room.

More than ten minutes later, Huaihua packed her things. Qin Huairu had finished her meal. Qin Huairu packed up all the leftovers, even the dumplings that had not been wrapped yet. Then she started to pack other things. But Qin Huairu did not forget to take out the two photos of her and Huaihua in the household registration book. After working for more than half an hour, Qin Huairu carried the large and small bags and went out with Huaihua.

"Qin Huairu, where are you and your daughter going with all these bags?!" Yan Bugui, who had just returned from a walk, asked curiously when he saw Qin Huairu walking outside with Huaihua.

Qin Huairu replied, "Third uncle, Jia Zhang adopted her eldest brother's third son as her son. Let him take care of her in her old age. I, the daughter-in-law, and Huaihua, the granddaughter, will become redundant. Rather than continue to live here and get in their way, we might as well move out early."

Yan Bugui asked: "Where are you moving to?!"

Qin Huairu looked pitiful, with tears in her eyes, and answered, "The dormitory in the factory. After the New Year, when the factory is open again, I will return the job to the Jia family. From now on, I will have nothing to do with them anymore."

Yan Bugui sighed and asked, "When will Jia Zhang come back?!"

Qin Huairu replied, "I don't know about that. Uncle, I won't tell you anymore. Let's go first!" After that, Qin Huairu took Huaihua and walked out of the courtyard gate.

Looking at the backs of Qin Huairu and Huaihua, Yan Bugui couldn't help but mutter, "What a sin!" and then went into the house.

Auntie Three, who was making dumplings, saw Yan Bugui coming in and asked, "Old man, who were you talking to at the door just now?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "Qin Huairu." Then he added, "She moved away with Huaihua."

"What?!" The third aunt showed a surprised expression on her face, and then asked in confusion: "Why are you moving out when you are living here so well?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "Isn't it Jia Zhang who caused the trouble?!" Then he changed the subject and said, "But then again, Jia Zhang is pretty smart when it comes to crooked ways. If it were someone else, Jia Zhang's actions might have worked. But who is Qin Huairu?! According to rumors, the number of men who have had affairs with Qin Huairu in the factory is too many to count on one hand. Would such a woman let Jia Zhang manipulate her?!"

"That's true!" The third aunt agreed and asked, "Old man, do you think that if the son that Jia Zhang adopted gets a job, will he really take care of Jia Zhang?!"

Yan Bugui thought for a moment and replied, "It's hard to say. We'll have to wait for a while to find out."

As time went by, the dawn came with the sound of firecrackers. At dawn, Jia Zhang and Zhang Denggao, who had spent the night in the police station, came back. Yan Bugui, who was exercising in front of his house, saw Jia Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law Jia, your daughter-in-law moved away with her daughter yesterday."

"What?!" Jia Zhang jumped up immediately after hearing the news, muttering a few curses and asking, "Where did they move to?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "I heard from Qin Huairu that she moved to the factory dormitory. She also said that she would give up her job after the Chinese New Year. I don't know anything else."

Jia Zhang said, "This Qin Huairu really doesn't know what's good for her. I've been through this myself, and I know it's not easy to be a widow at a young age. So I found a man for her. With a man, she will have someone to rely on in the future. But she took my kindness for granted." Then Jia Zhang pretended to sigh and said, "I have a hard time being a mother-in-law!" After that, Jia Zhang took Zhang Denggao to the central courtyard.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Old Li, who lived across from Yan Bugui, said, "What is this Jia Zhang singing about?! Is she stimulated by something?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "It's not because I'm irritated, but because I feel that life is too good now."

After a sleepless night, Jia Zhang returned home and didn't want to move anymore. She said a few words to Zhang Denggao and lay down on the kang to sleep. Zhang Denggao saw that Jia Zhang was asleep, and the smile on his face disappeared, and he began to look at the furnishings in the room.

After looking around, Zhang Denggao felt that the most urgent thing was to get the job first. With the job, he could gain a foothold in the city. Then he could slowly operate and find a way to get rid of the burden of Jia Zhang. The more he thought about it, the smarter Zhang Denggao felt. After staying at Jia's house for a while, Zhang Denggao went out.

At the same time, Qin Huairu got up and started to make breakfast. Not long after, Huaihua also woke up. Qin Huairu glanced at Huaihua and said, "Go wash up quickly, you can have breakfast soon."

"Oh!" Huaihua responded, quickly dressed and got out of bed, took her toiletries and went out. About ten minutes later, Huaihua came back. After putting her things away, Huaihua sat down opposite Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu pushed a plate of dumplings in front of Huaihua and said, "Eat!"
