Get something in the courtyard

Yi Zhonghai didn't give up and delayed it for another day, making trouble with Sha Zhu.

In the end, Sha Zhu still didn't go, and even almost slapped him a few times.

With no other choice, Yi Zhonghai could only tearfully embark on the journey to the northwest with Qin Huairu. When buying the train ticket, Yi Zhonghai regretted it. At that time, he only wanted to take Sha Zhu out of the courtyard so that he could easily fool him, but he did not consider whether Sha Zhu would agree.

Otherwise, he would not have boasted that he would go to the northwest with Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu went out with only a few clothes and nothing else, which clearly meant that he would be responsible for the expenses on the road.

The joy of seeing my son was diluted by these troubles.

An old man, with a beautiful middle-aged woman, behaving so intimately, is really suspicious.

I was constantly being reported along the way.

Fortunately, the two had experience going to Baoding and had prepared complete documents, so they were not arrested.

Even under Qin Huairu's tears and Yi Zhonghai's moral blackmail, those who were unaware of the situation helped them a lot of money out of guilt.

This made Yi Zhonghai feel much better.

You know, since his moral kidnapping was destroyed by Wang Kun, he has never used it to his heart's content. He once thought that moral kidnapping had lost its effectiveness, but this time when he went out, he regained a lot of confidence.

Qin Huairu saw that this trick was so effective, and the two of them began to cooperate closely.

When they arrived in the Northwest, they had earned enough money for their travel and food expenses.

Qin Huairu thought happily that if she had known that making money was so easy, she would not have worked so hard at the steel mill to exchange steamed buns with others.

After getting off the train, they took a bus to the county town where Banggeng was working. They stayed in a guesthouse in the county town for one night before finding a donkey cart to go to the village where Banggeng was working.

When the two saw Bang Geng, he was grinding wheat. Beside him stood a young woman, looking at him.

Qin Huairu cried when she saw this. Banggeng looked like an old ox pulling a millstone for others.

"Awesome."

Bang Geng, who was grinding the millstone, looked up when he heard the sound, recognized Qin Huairu, and started crying aggrievedly: "Mom, why did you come to save me just now?"

The mother and son hugged each other and cried.

Qin Huairu almost vomited when she smelled the stench on Banggeng. She could never have imagined that this old man could be her son.

You know, when she was young, when she was looking for a partner, she not only required the other person to be from the city, but also required him to be good-looking.

Whether it was Yi Zhonghai, the lover before marriage, or Jia Dongxu, both of them looked very handsome.

The appearance of the Bangteng is naturally good, and there are few people on the whole street who can compare with the Bangteng.

"How did you become like this?"

Banggeng cried even more aggrievedly. He had a very good life since he was a child. When others were hungry, he could eat meat.

Even though he and Sha Zhu had a falling out later, the conditions at home were a little worse, but still better than here in the northwest.

He had never suffered any hardship since he was a child, so naturally he couldn't stand the environment in the northwest.

It was fine before I found this widow in front of me. I could use the money Qin Huairu sent me to improve my food.

After being cheated by the widow, his money was confiscated and he had to work hard every day. In just half a year, he became so old.

"Bang Geng, mom is here, you can't just cry. Hurry up and invite mom to sit inside."

The cry of "Mom" made Qin Huairu stop crying and Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened. The two looked at Bang Geng in disbelief.

"What exactly is going on."

The widow smiled and said, "Mom, my name is Zeng Yuting, and I'm Banggeng's wife. Didn't he write to tell you?"

As a senior widow, Qin Huairu was very sensitive to her own kind, and she sensed the same kind of aura from Zeng Yuting. "Bang Geng never told me about marriage. Don't call me mom."

Zeng Yuting was still smiling, and pointed at Bang Geng: "You are such a heartless person. You said you would write a letter to tell Mom, why are you still hiding it from me?"

Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai also wanted to know this question, so they watched Banggen together.

But Bang Geng didn’t dare to say it.

When he was arrested, he was so scared that he wrote a confession. This confession is still in his father-in-law's house.

They were afraid that Qin Huairu would be angry and would not send money to Banggeng, so they controlled Banggeng and did not allow him to write letters home casually. If he wanted to write a letter, he had to write it according to what they said.

"Didn't I want to give you a surprise?"

surprise?

Scary enough.

Qin Huairu saw that Banggeng was abnormal at first sight, and knew that something was wrong, so he decided to ask Banggeng privately before making any decision.

Just as she was feeling relieved, two children ran in from outside, a boy, about seven years old, and a girl, about four years old.

After they came in, they ran to Zeng Yuting and shouted, "Mom, we're back."

"Look at how fast you've run. You've all become mud monkeys. Come with me. Your grandma and grandpa are here to see you." Zeng Yuting walked to Qin Huairu, holding one of their hands each.

Many of those who came here with Banggeng were from BJ and some were from nearby Hutong, including Yan Jiekuang, who grew up with Banggeng.

The villagers knew a lot about Banggeng's family. They knew that Qin Huairu had hooked up with an ugly man from the courtyard and they were even about to get married.

If it weren't for Bang Geng's disturbance, the two of them would have really gotten together.

Banggeng hasn't been home for many years, so the two of them probably took advantage of Banggeng's absence and did it without prior approval.

"Hello grandma, hello grandpa." Without waiting for Qin Huairu to explain, the two children shouted quickly.

Bang Geng frowned and glared at Zeng Yuting: "What nonsense are you talking about. That's an old man in our courtyard, not my father. My father died a long time ago."

Zeng Yuting quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know."

Qin Huairu didn't care about this misunderstanding at all. After all, she and Yi Zhonghai were used to being misunderstood.

What really shocked her were the two children in front of her. The younger one was okay, his age was acceptable. But the older one was not right. Banggeng went to the countryside in 1970, and it has only been seven years this year. No matter how you calculate it, Banggeng's child can't be seven years old. Even if Zeng Yuting married Banggeng while pregnant, the child would not be seven years old.

The only explanation was that the widow in front of her was a widow with a child. She looked at the younger one and saw that he looked nothing like Banggeng.

Neither of the two kids is a good kid.

As a widow, she naturally knew what this meant. A normal widow would never give birth to a child for a second man for the sake of her own children.

Wouldn’t the Banggeng family be wiped out in the future?

Bah, wrong.

No matter what, Bang Geng can't marry this woman.

If Banggeng wanted to marry, there would be plenty of candidates. There were three suitable ones in Siheyuan alone. Whether it was Xueer, Doudou, or He Qiaomei from Shazhu's family, they were all better than the woman in front of him.

As soon as this idea came out, it immediately took root in Qin Huairu's heart. She wanted to take Banggeng back to the courtyard immediately and propose marriage to him.

No matter which of these three people Banggeng marries, he won't have to worry about his future. Of course, the best one is to marry Xueer. Wang Kun has a high position and a rich family. He is also well-known for loving Xueer. Xueer also has a house in her name. Banggeng will not have to worry about anything when he returns to BJ.

Of course, she also knew that it was difficult, so she settled for the next best thing and married He Qiaomei. (End of this chapter)
