Curiosity drove him to leave his room and quietly walk towards the middle courtyard. There, he saw the

The two shadowy figures were obviously a man and a woman.

"Master Yi, why did you call me out so late?" There was some dissatisfaction in the woman's voice.

"You're afraid of being discovered." The man responded, "There are so many people in the yard, and if your mother-in-law hadn't mentioned asking my family to give you some food today, we wouldn't have had the chance to meet alone."

Hearing this, Yang Ming was shocked.

He originally thought that this was just a private meeting of some resident, but he didn't expect it to be Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai.

He lamented that human hearts were unpredictable. Yi Zhonghai, who seemed upright on the surface, actually had such a relationship with Qin Huairu.

He recalled the description in the plot that Yi Zhonghai once delivered corn noodles to Qin Huairu in the middle of the night. He originally thought that he was kind and helpful, but he didn't expect that such a truth was hidden behind it.

"It's all my fault, my mother-in-law. If she hadn't stopped me from transferring my hukou to the city, our family wouldn't have ended up like this." Qin Huairu complained, "How are we going to live in the future?"

"Huai Ru, don't worry." Yi Zhonghai comforted, "I won't let your family get into trouble. Dong Xu is my apprentice, and you are his daughter-in-law, so I will naturally take care of you. But you know, my family's situation is a little special..."

"Master Yi, what do you mean?" Qin Huairu asked in confusion.

"I'll tell you the truth." Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, "Your aunt can't have children, and my old age care will be a problem. If you are willing... to give birth to a child for me, I can raise it in the Jia family. I can guarantee that your family will have a worry-free life."

Yang Ming was dumbfounded when he heard this in the dark.

He didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to make such a request.

At this moment, when Qin Huairu was full of complaints, Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to reveal the "unreasonable wish" in his heart that was difficult to conceal.

"Hey, this... doesn't seem right?"

"How can I be so sorry to Dongxu? What should I do if he finds out?" Obviously, Qin Huairu was full of resistance to Yi Zhonghai's proposal.

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements as long as you are willing to agree." Yi Zhonghai continued to lobby patiently, trying to waver Qin Huairu.

"Then...can I...think about it more carefully? Besides, I'm pregnant now..."

"Okay, Huairu, you need to think carefully about it."

"Even if not for yourself, you have to consider the child. Your mother-in-law is not easy to deal with."

Yang Ming, who was standing aside, had roughly guessed the twists and turns in this matter, and a hint of mockery appeared on his face.

He had never expected that Yi Zhonghai, at his age, would still have such thoughts. ·………

But Yang Ming did not intend to let Yi Zhonghai's wishful thinking succeed easily.

He quickly walked to the door of the vegetable cellar, quickly locked it, and then shouted loudly in the yard.

"Something bad has happened! There is a fire!"

"There's a fire in the vegetable cellar. Come and help put it out!"

Sure enough, when they heard that the vegetable cellar was on fire, everyone woke up from their sleep and came out with various tools to check. Some held ladles, some carried buckets, and some even held chamber pots...

When they rushed to the door of the vegetable cellar, they found that there was no fire.

But when they opened the door of the vegetable cellar, the scene inside left them dumbfounded.

"Lao Yi, Huai Ru? What are you doing..."

"Oh my god, the old man is still as good as ever!"

"Qin Huairu's figure..."

"Oh, honey, stop twisting it. I don't dare to look at it anymore!"

Although the light was dim at night, it was enough to see the two people in the vegetable cellar.

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu hurriedly sorted out their clothes while explaining awkwardly. That...

During the meeting, I was thinking about sending some food to Huairu, so I secretly sent it to her at night. Oh, this statement...

Everyone present was in disbelief and looked puzzled.

How could it be that they were in such a mess when it was just a delivery of food? Even their clothes looked messy? Yi Zhonghai, you shameless person, how dare you take advantage of my daughter-in-law!

A figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd, like a ball of angry black wind, and pounced directly towards Yi Zhonghai.

Her hands were as sharp as eagle claws, and her nails covered in mud scratched several deep scars on Yi Zhonghai's face! This was none other than Jia Zhang.

At this moment, Jia Zhang showed amazing strength.

Although she was a head shorter than Yi Zhonghai, she was able to pin Yi Zhonghai down firmly at this moment, sitting on his waist and tearing him apart frantically.

Soon after, Jia Dongxu also rushed over. Seeing the miserable state of his wife, he was burning with anger. Yi Zhonghai!

I must teach you a lesson today, you beast!

After saying that, the two men launched a fierce attack on Yi Zhonghai.

Jia Zhang saw that her son was even angrier than herself, but when she saw that Qin Huairu remained calm, she became even more furious.

So she suddenly turned to Qin Huairu and slapped her hard in the face.

Snapped--

I will beat you to death, you shameless woman!

What? Being the daughter-in-law of my Jia family is unfair to you, and you have to get involved with Yi Zhonghai, the old man?

If you weren't pregnant with my Jia family's child, I would have skinned you alive today! Even so, Jia Zhang still felt unsatisfied.

She slapped Qin Huairu several times in a row, leaving her face unrecognizable.

The people around were stunned when they saw this.

After a brief moment of shock, they realized that if they continued like this, someone might get killed, so everyone stepped forward and forcibly separated the four people.

At this time, Liu Haizhong also regained his spirit. He put his hands behind his back and walked around Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu several times with a leader's demeanor.

With a gloating look on his face, he said seriously: Lao Yi, what on earth is going on?

Why are you and Qin Huairu here in such a mess in the middle of the night? If this gets out, how will our courtyard save face?

Don't forget, she is Jia Dongxu's wife, and Dongxu is your apprentice. How could you do such a stupid thing! Yi Zhonghai looked embarrassed at this moment.

His face and body were covered with scratches, his eyes were swollen like a panda's, his hair was messy, and his clothes were tattered.

The whole person looks like a homeless person.

In addition to the physical pain Yi Zhonghai was suffering, what he was more worried about was how to maintain his unshakable reputation.

After all, if the neighbors in the yard caught him and Qin Huairu behaving strangely in the dim cellar late at night, his position in the community would be in jeopardy once word spread.

Yi Zhonghai realized this and quickly adjusted his expression. He pretended to be innocent and explained, "You don't know, last night my sister-in-law mentioned that there was a shortage of food at home, so I asked Huairu to come and get 20 kilograms of cornmeal. But unexpectedly, someone played a prank and locked the door of the vegetable cellar, so the two of us were trapped."

"This is what you see." He turned to Qin Huairu and motioned for her to cooperate with him.
