The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

"Hello, what are you doing?"

"We are looking for Qin Jingru. I am Jingru's mother, and this is Jingru's father~!"

Early in the morning, Li Feng was washing his face in the house. While wiping his face with a towel, he heard a conversation outside the house.

"Oh, look at my brain. I came here last time when I got married, but I didn't remember it for a moment~!"

Goalkeeper Yan Bugui was very polite. After all, too much time had passed. They hadn't seen each other for more than a year. When Qin Jingru's parents suddenly came to the yard, he really didn't remember them for a while.

"It's okay, it's okay. You come here less often, but I still remember you. You are the second uncle in the hospital, and you are also a teacher in the school, teaching and educating people~!"

Jingru's mother was also very polite in her words and seemed like someone who could handle things in a respectable manner. However, Qin Jingru's father had difficulty speaking. He looked like a country boy and became a little timid after moving to the city.

The farmer in the countryside had dark skin, a towel wrapped on his head, and clothes and pants made of homespun cloth. Even though he was wearing a brand new pair of Liberation shoes, he still looked honest.

"Hurry up and go over. You must have asked for leave. Being a parent is not easy. Don't be polite with me. Wait a minute, Ma Hua has to go to work~!"

Ma Hua and Qin Jingru have been married for such a long time, and their parents have never come to visit them before. But they came at this time. How could Yan Bugui not guess why they came?

Although the words were very obscure, Qin Jingru's parents couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard what Old Yan said. They felt a little embarrassed and found it difficult to speak for a moment. Their faces became unnatural and their smiles became more restrained.

Qin Jingru's father even lowered his head, as if he had done something shameful and had been exposed in public, becoming a laughing stock.

"We didn't want to come, actually. No matter how ignorant she is, she is still my niece. Well, in the countryside, everyone is just a farmer. We don't have many relatives in the city. They asked Jingru's father to come and ask. It's all like this. What can we do? After all, she is a relative~!"

Qin Jingru's mother patted her belly with both hands, looking embarrassed, and the smile on her face turned into a sad face.

Because of this incident, no one dared to get involved. Qin Huairu's parents were now under close watch. They couldn't even leave the village, let alone go to the city. With all kinds of rumors, they could only beg Jingru's parents to go to the city to find out what had happened.

After all, the father's generation still owed a favor. Although Qin Jingru did not marry the cook, she eventually married Ma Hua, so she still owed a favor to Qin Huairu's family.

The sources of information in rural areas are limited. Even if they knew about it, they would not dare to believe that their own children could do such a despicable thing. After all, Ma Hua is a cadre now, so he can at least find out some information.

This is probably why Jingru's parents came to the yard today~!

Li Feng stretched his head to watch this scene, and immediately guessed what was going on.

Qin Jingru's father, who had stood straight all his life in the village, seemed to have his back broken again this time. He hunched over like a hunchback, and faced the various looks from his neighbors with his head lowered even more.

This scene was more or less maintained by Qin Jingru's mother, who greeted the neighbors with a flattering smile. When she passed the central courtyard, she glanced at the locked door of the Jia family. The expression on her face was extremely complicated.

If it weren't for the close relationship between their fathers and their brothers, if their family didn't also need to understand the whole story, why would they even give up today's work points and go to the city to ask?

"Jingru, Mahua~!"

After passing the Moon Gate, Ma Hua's mother started calling out the names of her daughter and son-in-law, but just listening to them made one feel that her energy was lacking.

"Hey, Mom, Dad, why are you here~?"

"Why are you asking these questions? Let mom and dad come in first~!"

Qin Jingru, who was making a fire and cooking, heard her mother's shouting and immediately ran out of the house. Seeing her parents coming together, she asked heartlessly.

After all, he was still Ma Hua. After being promoted, his way of dealing with people was different from before. He pulled Qin Jingru's arm and invited his mother-in-law and father-in-law into the house.

When Qin Jingru's father saw his son-in-law who was an official in the factory, he found it difficult to face her. The indifferent reaction of the people in the yard seemed to have given the farmer the answer. When he thought that his eldest brother's family affairs might involve his daughter and son-in-law, he was so frightened that he almost fell when he crossed the threshold.

Compared to Qin Huairu, who has been married for so many years and rarely goes back, Qin Jingru at home has indeed behaved much better.

At that time, when Ma Hua was driving a truck, he would take Qin Jingru with him. Whenever they passed by the Red Star Commune, they would go back to take a look. During the holidays, they would also bring gifts to the family. Compared with the Jia family, Ma Hua was really a good son-in-law.

Even the pair of Liberation shoes on his feet that he was reluctant to wear were brought back by Jingru. If it weren't for this time, the matter was really puzzling and the two of them would have been really embarrassed to go to their son-in-law's house to disturb him.

"Ma Hua, Qin Huairu's affairs won't involve you, right? If the factory asks about it, you must not say you have any relationship with her, just say that the engagement is broken off. Ah, don't let it affect you~!"

When Qin's mother came in, she first looked at her daughter's belly, frowned, and then hurriedly talked about business.

Although her husband and Qin Huairu's father are brothers, once it affects her son-in-law's career, she has to deny the marriage. Finding a son-in-law who drives a truck is already a big deal in Qinjia Village, not to mention that Ma Hua has now been promoted to a cadre.

At this time, Qin's mother was still able to distinguish between the important and the unimportant, and knew that she had to take care of her own family first. As for Qin Huairu's family, she could not help them, but kept her distance from them. She must not let Ma Hua suffer the consequences.

Compared with Qin's mother's reaction, Jingru's father sighed deeply, his brows twisted into a "川" shape, and sat on the long bench in the Ma family, sighing and slapping his forehead with his hands.

The people in the countryside have not seen much of the world. When such a big thing happened at home, these honest farmers not only could not accept it, but also did not know how to deal with it.

"Mom, I'm fine. That was her personal behavior. Jingru isn't a direct relative, just a cousin. Have you forgotten that when I moved in, she sold all the furniture in my house? Our relationship has been severed for a long time~!"

"Dad, have a cigarette. Actually, I can guess why you came here today. You didn't have breakfast, right? Jingru, add two handfuls of rice to the pot and boil two eggs. You finally came here, so give mom and dad some nourishment~!"

After personally offering his father-in-law a cigarette and extinguishing the match head, Ma Hua asked Jingru to go and get busy, and then they sat on a chair in the living room together.

"You said, Huazi, it's okay that she hasn't been back for so many years. We know it's not easy for her in the city. We are farmers, and we know that our mother's family is not strong enough~!"

"But she is an honest and decent person. No matter how difficult it is, she has never made any mistakes. Marrying her to the city is not just about subsidizing her parents' family. If she can live a good life, her parents will be relieved~!"

"Now, without making any noise, such a big thing suddenly happened. She didn't think about her parents who raised her and tried to marry into the city and find a worker. Now, she has been in such a mess. How can she explain to her parents~!"

It seemed as if Qin's father had finally found someone he could confide in. He squatted on a long bench, puffing on his cigarette with a look of sorrow on his face.

Ma Hua knew that his father-in-law was not talking about his own Jingru, but Qin Huairu. He seemed extremely worried. For people of their generation, it was like a monster had appeared in the family and the sky was falling.

For rural people, being able to go to the city, eat commercial grain, and have a stable income, life can’t be better.

Even if the husband died, didn't she get the compensation? No matter who held the power, the meat was rotten in the pot. She also took over the job, got a salary from the factory, ate public meals, moved into a building, and lived in a building. For rural people, this was tantamount to changing their destiny.

Once he turned out to be a traitor and a spy, the news was a huge blow to his family, especially to his close relatives, as they felt that he was giving up his good life and making things difficult for them.

"Ma Hua, we are in the countryside and don't know much about it. You are a cadre, you know more than us. We are Jingru's uncle, so we are here to ask, is there any room for negotiation on Qin Huairu's matter?"

"You said Qin Huairu didn't even graduate from elementary school and can't even read a few words. How can she be a spy? Could it be that someone made a mistake and she just fell in love with him and didn't get involved?"

Compared to Qin's father's helplessness, Qin's mother held on to a glimmer of fantasy. At this time, she would rather admit that she had an affair with the spy than admit that she was really involved.

Otherwise, in the countryside, the Qin family would never be able to hold their heads up.

Ma Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head, completely shattering his mother-in-law's fantasy. If she was an adulterer, it wouldn't be like this now, and there would be no room for maneuver. There was no room at all, and she had admitted it in her confession. (End of this chapter)
