As someone who had experienced the world, Qin Huairu naturally understood the meaning of Yang Ming's words. She hesitated in her heart, but looking at Yang Ming's deep eyes, she knew that this was her only hope.

However, it was obvious that Yang Ming did not leave Qin Huairu any room for maneuver.

"If you find it hard to accept, please go back." There was no warmth in his words.

"After all, Jia Dongxu is unemployed now, but Yi Zhonghai is still here, right?" He went on to say, "Perhaps because of the past relationship between your two families, Yi Zhonghai can give you some meager help, at least so that you won't starve."

These words made Qin Huairu's heart tighten suddenly. Yi Zhonghai?

Over the past few months, she has seen through the other party's true intentions behind his superficial enthusiasm (for money), and knows that his kindness to the Jia family is just because he hopes that Jia Dongxu will take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.

The more she understood this, the more Qin Huairu felt that Yi Zhonghai was not the reliable person she had imagined.

She took a deep breath and walked to the door, but did not leave immediately. She closed the door gently, turned back, her face full of tears.

She seemed to say to her husband in her heart: Dongxu, everything I do is for our family. An hour later, Qin Huairu left Yang Ming's residence with a hint of uneasiness.

She tightened her clothes, buttoned them up, and then walked towards Yi Zhonghai's residence.

"Master," she asked softly, "how are Dongxu and my mother-in-law doing now?"

A complicated expression appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face and he shook his head.

"There is no way," he sighed, "The Military Control Commission has made it clear that unless the person involved forgives, any plea will be in vain."

"Huai Ru, what does Yang Ming have to say?"

When she mentioned Yang Ming, Qin Huairu's mind flashed back to the humiliating scenes. But she still tried to stay calm and spoke slowly.

"Yang Ming said," she paused, "our family must compensate him fifty yuan, otherwise he will not drop the case.

child. "

"Fifty yuan? That's an exorbitant price!" Yi Zhonghai said angrily.

He knew that Jia Dongxu's monthly salary was only 27 yuan, and it was difficult to support a family of three, not to mention that they had just married a wife not long ago.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will eventually have to lend this money to the Jia family.

But compared to the predicament of Jia Dongxu losing his job and the Jia family losing their source of income and needing him for long-term support, Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"Forget it," he sighed, "The most important thing now is to keep Dongxu's job, and everything else can be put aside for now."

Although Yi Zhonghai's words were unintentional, they hit Qin Huairu like a hammer in the heart. She felt that she had done something wrong to her husband and was filled with guilt.

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words at this moment, she was even more frightened, thinking that he had discovered something. But seeing that Yi Zhonghai looked normal, Qin Huairu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She pretended to be embarrassed and continued, "Master, but our family really can't afford so much money. As you know, my mother-in-law manages all the money in the house, and I don't even know where she keeps the money."

Actually, it's not a big deal.

In that case, I will advance the money and ask Dongxu to pay it back to me when he comes back.

As Dongxu's master, I should help him. Master Yi, you are really a benefactor to our family!

It is Dongxu's blessing to meet a master like you.

Qin Huairu showed a hint of joy on her face, but she had other plans in mind. She knew that although the money was borrowed, her mother-in-law would probably take it for granted and would not consider returning it. Since the financial power of the family was not in her hands, Qin Huairu was too lazy to care about these things.

Yi Zhonghai was satisfied to see Qin Huairu's reaction.

He naturally understood the ins and outs of this, but at this moment he hoped that Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu would remember his kindness.

As for Jia Zhangshi, he let her stay for the time being. It was also a test for Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu to see if they could take care of the elderly in a filial manner.

If Jia Zhang becomes a stumbling block on his road to retirement, Yi Zhonghai doesn't mind making arrangements for her in advance.

At the same time, Yang Ming couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although he had taken advantage of others before, Qin Huairu was able to raise three children alone, which showed her extraordinary tenacity.

However, he soon noticed that Qin Huairu had turned back again. What happened to you?

Qin Huairu, do you think my previous hospitality was not thoughtful enough and want to add another one?

Qin Huairu glared at Yang Ming, the charm in her eyes was heart-moving. But Yang Ming had already experienced the world and was unmoved by this. He just said calmly:

If nothing happens, you'd better go back early to avoid being seen and causing unnecessary speculation.

Qin Huairu felt a little unhappy after hearing this. She called herself the flower of Qinjia Village, and even though she was already a married woman, she was still the focus of everyone's attention. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others often looked at her secretly. Only Yang Ming seemed to always keep a certain distance from her.

Yang Ming, didn't you say before that as long as my family compensates you fifty yuan, you would go to the Military Control Commission to withdraw the complaint?

The money is here, when can Dongxu go home?

Yang Ming was a little surprised to see Qin Huairu readily take out fifty yuan.

However, when Yang Ming adjusted his thoughts slightly, he realized that the fifty yuan might be exactly the price paid by Yi Zhonghai, the so-called "sucker".

However, whether it was Yi Zhonghai's generosity or the Jia family's wealth, Yang Ming accepted it with a calm attitude and without any guilt in his heart. After all, in this incident, Yang Ming was the real victim, and his position was firm and irrefutable.

"Okay, go now." Yang Ming said calmly, "I will go to the Military Control Commission tomorrow and report the matter truthfully."

Seeing Yang Ming being so indifferent, Qin Huairu's nervousness eased a little, but then she felt dissatisfied.

This is like some women, when others praise her beauty, she may denounce it as frivolous;

When he ignored her, she felt that he was ungrateful. In short, women's minds are always complicated and changeable, especially those with outstanding looks.

"Jia Dongxu, someone has withdrawn the charges against you. You can leave now." The military control committee informed him.

Jia Dongxu, who had spent a long and fearful night in the Military Control Commission, was filled with indescribable joy when he heard the news.

He couldn't wait to leave this gloomy place. However, when he saw his mother Jia Zhang was still in another cell, he immediately asked anxiously.

"Mom, what's going on? How come I came out and you are still here?"

The guard explained coldly: "Because someone just dropped the charges against you, but your mother's situation is different. Her crime is already proven beyond doubt. Without the victim's forgiveness, she must continue to stay here."

The guards were very cold towards Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu, mother and son, not only because they had committed serious crimes, but also because they had been making a lot of noise since they were detained, keeping the guards awake all night.

If there had not been a ban on lynching prisoners, the guards would have taught them a lesson long ago.

Jia Dongxu looked at his mother's expectant eyes helplessly and could only comfort her with a few words: "Mom, don't worry, I will find a way to get you out."

After returning to the courtyard, Qin Huairu saw that only her husband came back alone, and she couldn't help wondering: "Dongxu, where is mom? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Jia Dongxu sighed and replied, "Mom is still in the Military Control Commission."

Qin Huairu was surprised and said, "How is this possible? Yang Ming clearly said before that as long as we pay fifty yuan, he will let you out."

"No, I'm going to go and argue with him!" Qin Huairu turned angrily and walked towards the backyard.
