Qin Huairu knew that if this matter was exposed, she would lose face in the courtyard. So she immediately nodded and agreed: "What the master said is true, it is the fact."

"Look, everyone! This cornmeal is the evidence," she said, pointing to the bag on the ground.

However, Jia Zhang was not convinced. She glanced at the cornmeal on the ground and said contemptuously, "Delivering cornmeal in the middle of the night? This excuse is ridiculous! You chose to meet here, so there must be some unspeakable secret!"

Jia Dongxu, who was standing by, had a serious look on his face. On the one hand, his wife and master were involved; on the other hand, he himself had not been promoted to a second-level fitter and still needed to rely on Yi Zhonghai for support. So, he quickly weighed the pros and cons and decided not to expose the matter.

Even if there was something between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, he couldn't break up with them.

Once the relationship between the two families breaks down, he will lose Yi Zhonghai's support and will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the courtyard.

Therefore, he planned to take advantage of the situation and treat the incident as a misunderstanding, and perhaps take this opportunity to ask Yi Zhonghai for some compensation.

So, Jia Dongxu said vaguely: "Mother, I think... Huairu and Master may have been misunderstood."

Hearing this, Jia Zhang looked at him in shock, as if she thought he had lost his mind because of the blow: "Dongxu, how can you excuse them? How can our Jia family tolerate such a frivolous woman!"

Jia Dongxu suddenly retorted loudly, which stunned Jia Zhang: "I don't allow you to slander Huairu like this! I've already said that this is just a misunderstanding!"

At this moment, not only Jia Zhang, but everyone else present also felt that Jia Dongxu seemed a little abnormal.

But since Jia Dongxu chose not to pursue the matter further, everyone just went with the flow and treated it as a misunderstanding and didn't pursue it any further.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a gripping drama seemed to be staged tonight. At first, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's abnormal behavior in the vegetable cellar was accidentally revealed. Then, to everyone's surprise, the mother and son of the Jia family launched a fierce attack on Yi Zhonghai. But the following reversal was unexpected.

Jia Dongxu, who was betrayed by his master, chose to keep quiet and even, according to Yi Zhonghai, attributed the whole incident to a misunderstanding.

Yang Ming, who was watching from the sidelines, nodded in praise, expressing his admiration for Jia Dongxu's tolerance and calmness. Jia Dongxu was truly a man who knew how to endure humiliation.

Under the cuckold, he could choose to forgive Qin Huairu. This forbearance is just like a "thousand-year-old turtle". However, Yang Ming also understood Jia Dongxu's difficulties.

The Jia family's position in the steel rolling mill and the courtyard house is closely linked to Yi Zhonghai's support.

“—83” In such a context, even in the face of such humiliation, Jia Dongxu could only choose to turn a blind eye and maintain superficial harmony.

After one night, no one knew about the tacit understanding reached between master Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu.

However, the next day, when the two worked together as usual, the residents of the courtyard were surprised.

"This Jia Dongxu is really generous!"

"How could he be so calm after being betrayed by both his wife and his master?"

"If it were me, I would have fallen out with Yi Zhonghai long ago!"

Of course, most people only discussed it in private and did not dare to mention it in front of Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu. But Sha Zhu was an exception.

"I said that Sister Qin and Uncle Yi are innocent."

"Sister Qin is so kind, how could she have an affair with a master?"

"Jia Dongxu, you are too rash. You almost caused a misunderstanding!"

As Sha Zhu kept talking, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai's faces darkened. They both knew the truth of last night.

And Sha Zhu's words were undoubtedly like rubbing salt into their wounds.

"Silly, shut up!"

Jia Dongxu finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at Sha Zhu to stop. Yi Zhonghai also looked solemn and said to Sha Zhu seriously:

"Zhu Zi, you'd better not mention what happened last night again."

"Rumors are terrible. If they get to the factory, it will damage the reputation of the three of us."

"Uncle, you are right." Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu nodded in agreement.

Yi Zhonghai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Sha Zhu finally quiet down. Last night's embarrassing experience had left him feeling exhausted.

In order to calm Jia Dongxu's anger, he paid a considerable price.

After the turmoil last night ended, Yi Zhonghai actually made a public guarantee, vowing to help Jia Dongxu successfully get promoted to the second-level fitter in the upcoming skills assessment.

At the same time, he also had to try to calm the aunt's inner anxiety.

After all, as Yi Zhonghai's partner, Yida Ma knew his deep desire to have offspring of his own blood. However, due to some unspeakable reasons, this wish was never fulfilled.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai's coveting of Qin Huairu was actually looking for an opportunity to continue his bloodline. After learning about what happened last night, the aunt showed a rare strong emotional fluctuation.

Facing her anger, Yi Zhonghai knew he was in the wrong and could only try his best to comfort her and vowed not to leave her because of this. After a series of promises and assurances, the family turmoil was barely calmed down.

However, even if they tried their best to cover it up, the scars on Yi Zhonghai's face, the obvious swelling in his eyes, and the

The scratches still couldn't hide the fierce conflict last night.

When they walked into the steel mill with Jia Dongxu, these obvious scars immediately attracted the workers' attention.

"Oh, Master Yi, what happened to you? It looks like something scratched your face."

"And your eyes, why are they so swollen? Did you have some unpleasantness with that person at home last night?"

"I heard that Master Yi and his apprentice's wife were in the vegetable cellar last night..."

These whispers made Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu look very ugly.

They didn't expect that the turmoil in the courtyard would spread to the steel mill so quickly, making them lose face.

"Who spread this news?" The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and anger.

They began to speculate which gossipy person had spread the news to the factory. Was it Yang Ming? Xu Damao? Or the second uncle who was present last night? But after some speculation and discussion, they still could not determine the mastermind behind it.

Finally, they decided to try to calm the storm. After all, if the news spread in the steel mill, they would lose face. Especially Jia Dongxu, he didn't want people to know that he was willing to wear this "green hat" for a few kilograms of grain.

At this moment, Yang Ming was the only one left in the design department, working silently. His figure looked particularly lonely in the empty office.

Despite the severe challenge of lack of manpower, Yang Ming had no complaints. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he chose to stick to his post.
