Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

His good reputation in this yard and even in the surrounding area would be completely ruined.

At this time, Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai with hope: “Master!”

Yi Zhonghai nodded, "Okay, I'll pay the fifty dollars as your master, now let's talk about the engagement."

Mrs. Yi, who was standing by, felt very reluctant to give such a large sum of money as a betrothal gift to her son Jia Dongxu, but her husband had already agreed. What else could she say?

The other neighbors in the yard still looked confused:

"What's going on? The marriage is already decided? Really, fifty yuan is the betrothal gift."

"Old Yi is really generous to the Jia family. Who would believe it if he had no relationship with Jia Zhang?" Qin Huairu was completely stunned.

What's going on? Have you discussed this with me?

When she saw her father and brother preparing to follow Yi Zhonghai back to the house to discuss her marriage, she finally exploded.

"Dad, how could you do this? Have you asked me?" She said with grievance in her voice, "I never said I wanted to marry Jia Dongxu. How can you decide my future without my permission? I will never marry anyway."

Qin Dashan was dragged into the house by Yi Zhonghai and suddenly became furious. He shouted, "What are you talking about? Parents make the decisions. Don't you understand this principle that has been passed down since ancient times?"

After saying this, he didn't care about Qin Huairu's ** at all, and pulled Yi Zhonghai to walk into the house. Yi Zhonghai just glanced at Qin Huairu, then smiled and pulled Qin Dashan and the others inside, while Jia Zhangshi on the side looked very proud.

The squinting woman glanced at Qin Huairu and sneered in her heart: "Hmph! Wait until you enter our Jia family and see how I deal with you." She was still thinking that fifty yuan of betrothal gift would be enough to make Qin Huairu suffer in their family.

Jia Dongxu was extremely happy at this time, he was finally going to marry the woman he loved. "Huai Ru, what your uncle said is right, you can't disobey your parents' orders, you still have to be obedient!"

As he said this, Jia Dongxu wanted to pull Qin Huairu into the house. Qin Huairu immediately felt disgusted and dodged, and ran quickly towards the cross-courtyard. She knew that the only one who could save her now was Grandpa Liang. At this time, Xu Lingyun also came out of the room. She looked at the actions of Yi Zhonghai, the Qin family father and son with disdain, and also went to the cross-courtyard...

Qin Huairu ran to the cross-yard and rushed directly into Grandpa Liang's study, crying: "Grandpa Liang, please save me."

Seeing Qin Huairu in tears and looking pitiful, Grandpa Liang was startled at first, and then said with pity: "Child, don't worry, tell Grandpa Liang what happened, I will take care of it for you."

"No matter how big the matter is, we still have to abide by the law and human feelings. This is a new world. The country emphasizes marriage autonomy and does not allow arranged marriages. They are breaking the law." Grandpa Liang was furious. "Let's go and see who dares to openly break the law!"

He said as he pulled Qin Huairu towards the middle courtyard. Seeing that the old man was willing to help, Xu Lingyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and followed them back to the middle courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang were shocked when they saw Qin Huairu running towards the cross-courtyard, but they still didn't care. They thought that the rules that had been passed down for thousands of years could not change much in just a few years after liberation.

As for Qin Dashan and his father, they believed that they had the right to make the decision for their daughter, and they were justified no matter what. Seeing the old man coming with Qin Huairu, Qin Dashan tried to grab his daughter and said in a deep voice:

"Old man, I respect you, but I'm telling you now that my Huairu will no longer be a maid for your family, so please don't interfere in our family's affairs. Her affairs should be decided by her parents, and outsiders have no right to interfere."

But the old man is not a vegetarian. He pushed away the hand that Qin Dashan stretched out and scolded, "Shut up, I tolerate you because you are Huairu's father, otherwise I will definitely teach you a lesson today."

Indeed, the old man's majesty is definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary old man. He has seen so many dignitaries in his life, how could he be afraid of the Qin family father and son? Sure enough, when the father and son saw the old man's sharp eyes, they immediately wilted.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was about to speak, the old man looked at him directly and did not give him a chance to speak.

"Although I came from the old society, this is a new era and a new country," the old man said firmly, "Freedom of marriage is now a basic right. Your idea of ​​parents' orders and matchmakers' words is outdated."

Then, the old man ordered: "Sister-in-law Yan in the front yard, help me find the comrades of the Military Control Commission. Today, I want to see who dares to violate the country's policy."

Yi Zhonghai quickly defended himself: "Old man, it's really not that serious. No one violated the policy."

"Besides, the country should also respect the traditions of the people, right? The rules that have been passed down for thousands of years are still there!" Jia Zhang was also looking at Mr. Liang with dissatisfaction. In her opinion, this matter was no longer a question of whether to marry Qin Huairu, a country girl, but a matter of saving face for the Jia family. But how could she say this? After all, she and Yi Zhonghai did something shameful last night. If Old Jia knew about this, he would probably strangle her to death.

Mr. Liang smiled coldly: "Don't bother me, just leave it to the Military Control Commission." The old man would not get entangled in such a trivial matter, nor would he use his connections. On the one hand, such a thing is not worth the trouble; on the other hand, he is an outsider after all, and doing so will only destroy his own face. This is why he repeatedly emphasized the policy. At the same time, he also wants to see what Qin Huairu means - it's a test.

If Qin Huairu herself has no ambition, then all her words are just empty talk. What if she is blamed for helping her? Who would be willing to take the blame? How could the old man with rich life experience not understand this?

Seeing Yan's wife go to the Military Control Commission, Yi Zhonghai was extremely anxious, but he was powerless to stop her. He was just an ordinary resident and had no power to stop her. After a while, Yan's sister-in-law came back with two cadres from the Military Control Commission, one of whom was a newly transferred female comrade who was specifically responsible for managing Nanluoguxiang. She had a dignified temperament and looked like a strong woman.

After the two arrived at the Intermediate Court, they learned about the situation. The female cadre said seriously:

"Now is a new country and a new era. We advocate free love and marriage autonomy, and do not allow arranged marriages." Hearing this, the Qin family father and son and Yi Zhonghai were speechless. But they did not expect that the female cadre would immediately say: "Of course, if both parties are willing, there is no problem."

The Qin family father and son immediately felt a glimmer of hope. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang were even more proud. Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Dashan looked at Qin Huairu and advised: "Xiaoru, Dad is thinking about you. Look at how good the Jia family is. It would be strange if you don't enjoy happiness if you marry into the Jia family."

"Dad doesn't want you to go back and suffer. Even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about your brother and others." After hearing this, several old residents almost laughed out loud. The reputation of the Jia family on this street is as bad as a stinking ditch. Do you think you really don't know what kind of people the Jia family is?

Yi Zhonghai continued to strike while the iron was hot and said, "Xiao Qin, your father is right. Dongxu grew up with you and is an honest man..." He praised the Jia family in one breath. However, the old residents present knew that these words were all false, which really made people laugh - are you telling the truth, Yi Zhonghai!

Qin Huaili said to Huairu, "Huairu, just listen to your father. In the future, your two brothers and I will be in the city, and you will definitely feel more secure."

Jia Dongxu said sincerely: "Huai Ru, I am sincere to you and will treat you well in the future." But the old man remained silent at this moment, feeling that there was no point in saying more.

Although he knew a lot about Courtyard 95 and the Jia family, it was useless to say that. The key to everything still depended on Qin Huairu's own choice. Xu Lingyun seemed very worried. In her opinion, if Qin Huairu married into the Jia family, it would be like throwing herself into a fire pit. But since the old man didn't say anything, she could only sigh helplessly.

At this moment, all eyes were on Qin Huairu. Her final decision disappointed everyone, especially those who hoped she would compromise.

She didn't think highly of Jia Dongxu, not to mention that what she saw in the vegetable cellar last night made her extremely disgusted. The thought of marrying Jia Dongxu made her extremely sick.

Even if she remained single for her whole life, she would never condescend to marry into the Jia family. Therefore, she wiped away her tears and turned to the two comrades from the Military Control Commission: "Please help me, I was forced to do this, and I am not even familiar with Jia Dongxu."

"In fact, my family only forced me to do so for the fifty yuan betrothal gift and because Yi Zhonghai and his friends promised to help my brother find a job." She said frankly. After listening to her story, Mr. Liang still had no expression on his face, but seeing Qin Huairu's firm attitude, he decided to fully support her. Xu Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief, silently thanking Huairu for not being fooled.

The two comrades from the Military Control Commission said in a deep voice: "The situation is now very clear. Xiao Qin's attitude is very clear."

"Therefore, no one has the right to rape her, not even her father and brother. At the same time, we warn you that if you continue to exert pressure and cause any serious consequences, we will hold you accountable to the end." Hearing these words, Qin Dashan was afraid but also unwilling to give in. He quickly argued:

"Comrades, you are right, but she is my biological daughter!"

"I also raised her, and we have no intention of forcing her. The Jia family is of good status, and we plan to get engaged first, so that they can get along slowly in the future, which can be regarded as a step-by-step way of falling in love." Qin Dashan tried to show some cleverness.

The military control comrade surnamed Wang said seriously: "My surname is Wang, you can just call me Comrade Wang." What Qin Dashan said did not violate the regulations.

"The key point now is that Qin Huairu doesn't want to, and this cannot be forced."

He looked at Qin Huairu and continued to ask: "So, what do you mean? Are you determined not to marry Jia Dongxu, and are you considering trying to get along slowly before deciding whether to get married?" Comrade Wang asked cautiously.

Qin Huairu said without hesitation: "I don't want to have anything to do with Jia Dongxu, and I don't want to marry him."
