Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 454 That’s all
"without"

Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shook her head and said, "Nothing! I just had a stomachache, so I went to the toilet."

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang's face darkened, and she angrily asked, "You think I'm old and my eyesight is blurry, so I'm useless, right?

I tell you, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. I can tell at a glance at your little flaws.

If you had any sense, you would have handed over your mistress.

Otherwise, I will call everyone over here and let everyone take a good look at what kind of bitch you are, Qin Huairu!"

After saying that, she moved her fat body and walked towards the door, pretending to make a big deal out of it.

However, even when she walked to the door and put her hand on the door handle, she didn't hear Qin Huairu say a word.

This made her so angry that she wanted to call everyone in the yard over immediately to expose Qin Huairu's true face.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she didn't dare to open the door, let alone call everyone in the yard.

Because she knew that if she really did that, she would never be able to expect Qin Huairu to take care of her in her old age.

At this time, Qin Huairu saw that Jia Zhang was still standing at the door, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Although she was 90% sure that Jia Zhang would not dare to make a big fuss, the remaining 10% possibility was enough to make her nervous and worried.

Fortunately, she made the right bet in the end, and exposed the true face of Jia Zhang, the paper tiger.

However, in order to make her life easier in the future, she did not press on the victory, but covered her face with her hands and cried, giving Jia Zhang a way out.

"Wow~ I don't, I don't have any mistresses, why don't you believe me?"

"Humph!"

When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu say this, she snorted coldly, then turned around and said sarcastically, "I hope you didn't, but take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Look at your seductive face. Anyone can tell what you were doing just now! How can I trust you?"

"mom!"

Qin Huairu heard this, raised her head, looked at Jia Zhang with tears in her eyes, and then said with a firm face: "You must have seen it wrong, I didn't do anything to let you down.

If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"you"

Seeing Qin Huairu's fearless look, Jia Zhang was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.

But even so, she couldn't do anything to Qin Huairu, because she had to rely on Qin Huairu for everything she ate and drank!

If it had happened a few years ago, she might have been able to take out Jia Dongxu's portrait and set up a mourning hall to torture Qin Huairu, but ever since that storm outside, she didn't dare to call back the soul anymore, let alone set up a mourning hall at home.

Therefore, she also lost the only means to restrain Qin Huairu.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed Qin Huairu to act so recklessly.

"mom!"

Qin Huairu saw that Jia Zhang's arrogance was suppressed, and she suddenly made up her mind. Then she walked forward slowly, stretched out her hand to hold Jia Zhang's arm, and said pitifully:
"Since Dongxu left, you know best how I have treated this family, the children, and you.

No matter what I do, isn't it all for our family in the end?
Besides, I already have an IUD, aren’t you worried?”

Hearing this, Jia Zhang's expression slowly eased up. Then she opened her mouth and asked in a deep voice, "Then you have to tell me who he is, right?"

When Qin Huairu heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she looked at Jia Zhang steadily, without saying a word for a long time.

"Fine!"

Seeing this, Jia Zhang knew that Qin Huairu would never tell her, so she could only nod and said with a sad face, "Now that you have become powerful, I can no longer control you.

Tomorrow, you can send me back to the countryside! Let me fend for myself there, and stop being an eyesore to you here!
I just hope that, seeing how good Dongxu was to you and how he passed away at such a young age, you must help him raise Banggeng and keep the Jia family's incense going.

Otherwise, even if I die, I will never let you go."

After saying that, she shook off Qin Huairu's hand, then quickly walked into the inner room, took out her packages and packed her luggage, pretending that she wanted to pick up her bag and leave.

Since intimidation doesn't work, she can only retreat in order to advance.

At the same time, she also wanted to see if Qin Huairu was really sure of her?
If this is the case, then she has to think carefully about what to do next.

Qin Huairu frowned when she saw Jia Zhang's actions.

She knew that Jia Zhang was doing this just to threaten her, to make her bear the stigma of being unfilial and to make her unable to hold her head up high from now on.

However, after so many years of living together day and night, she had already figured out Jia Zhang's personality.

Therefore, she was not anxious at all. Instead, she stood there and watched with interest for a long time before she slowly walked in and pretended to be nervous and said:
"Mom, what are you doing? Aren't you deliberately letting me get poked in the back and scolded?"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang snorted coldly, and then said with indignation on her face: "Anyway, you have already done such a shameless thing, aren't you afraid of being gossiped about."

"mom!"

Qin Huairu frowned, then said helplessly: "What kind of person am I? Don't you know? No matter what I did, it was for our family, right?

Besides, you are old now and in poor health. You have to take painkillers every month. What will you do if you return to the countryside?"

"fine!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she panicked a little, then pretended to be tough and said, "It's a blessing to live to this age. If I die early, I can see Dongxu earlier and tell him about the good things his wife has done."

"Fine!"

Qin Huairu was secretly annoyed when she heard that Jia Zhang had even moved Jia Dongxu out, and then she pretended to be sad and said, "Since you don't want to believe me, then I have nothing to say.

Anyway, I will die one day, and when that day comes, I will go and explain to Dongxu.

I believe he will understand me. "After hearing this, Jia Zhang instantly remembered the scene when Jia Dongxu always defended Qin Huairu in front of her, and she couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

As the saying goes, when you get a wife, you forget your mother.

Under such circumstances, even if she could really meet Jia Dongxu, it would be impossible for her to let Jia Dongxu come up and teach Qin Huairu a lesson.

She might even let Jia Dongxu complain first.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little upset.

"mom!"

Qin Huairu saw that Jia Zhangshi did not refute, and knew that she had seen the situation clearly, so she hurriedly persuaded her: "Why don't you not go back to the countryside? I promise that no matter what happens, I will definitely be filial to you and take care of you until the end of your life."

Hearing this, Jia Zhang raised her head and glanced at Qin Huairu, her attitude slightly softened.

However, she was still a little angry at Qin Huairu's behavior of bullying the strong, so she didn't say anything in the end.

"mom!"

Qin Huairu frowned when she saw this, and then hurriedly continued to persuade: "You also know that we are the only two left in the Jia family now. If we can't be of one mind, who will look at us in the eye in the future?

Besides, you should be the one who knows best what kind of person I am over the years.

Since I promised you that I would raise the children and take care of you in your old age, I will definitely do it.

Do you believe me? "

After saying this, she looked straight at Jia Zhang with a pleading look on her face to show her sincerity.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu's very honest eyes, and thought that it was Qin Huairu who was supporting the family all these years and prevented the Jia family's incense from being cut off. The anger in her heart unconsciously dissipated a little.

What's more, under the current circumstances, even if she doesn't want to, what can she do?
Could she really give up her life in the city where she had someone to serve her and go back to the countryside to wait for death?
Thinking of this, her spirit immediately deflated, and she sat down on the bed somewhat sadly, sighing, "Forget it, forget it, our family still depends on you after all, and I, a useless person, should not cause you any more trouble.

From now on, you can do whatever you want! I won’t care about you anymore.”

After saying this, she did not look at Qin Huairu, nor did she say anything harsh as she did in the past. Instead, she quietly put the clothes she had packed back.

Because she knew that Qin Huairu had already taken control of her.

Therefore, instead of continuing to fight with Qin Huairu and making it difficult for him to eat and sleep well, it is better to take a step back for the time being and wait for an opportunity to take back the power of decision in the family.

Qin Huairu finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Jia Zhang had finally stopped making a fuss.

Afterwards, she hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly to comfort him, "Mom, don't worry! As long as there is a chance, I will definitely get Banggeng a job so that he can come back early to marry and have children, and continue the family line of our Jia family."

"Ok!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she nodded slightly in agreement.

Although Qin Huairu did not say it explicitly, she guessed from this sentence that Qin Huairu's lover should be Li Guoqiang.

This made her feel both surprised and happy.

If this is true, then the Jia family can be considered to have climbed to a high position.

After all, given the current situation of the Li family, even if she was unwilling to admit it, it could not change the fact that the Li family had become the strongest and most promising family in the compound.

Not to mention anything else, just the deputy district head and the district committee director standing behind the Li family are enough to make the Li family a popular family in the eyes of many neighbors.

In addition, what made her feel most at ease was that Li Guoqiang's age and status were quite different from Qin Huairu's, and he also had a fairy-like daughter-in-law and six young and beautiful concubines.

So no matter what, the Li family would never agree to let Qin Huairu in.

And she naturally didn't need to worry that Qin Huairu would abandon the family.

Even if possible, she could try to get some benefits from the Li family.

For example, asking the Li family to help Banggeng find a job, a marriage partner and a house, and asking the Li family to give her some pension money every month, etc.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and a smile of longing appeared on her face.

Qin Huairu saw Jia Zhang suddenly laughed, and immediately guessed what she was thinking, and then hurriedly said, "Mom, this job quota thing is not so easy to handle, you must not do anything rash."

"Got it!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she nodded and agreed, "Don't worry! I'm not a three-year-old child. I know the seriousness of the matter."

As she spoke, her eyes swept over Qin Huairu's beautiful face, and she couldn't help feeling curious, not understanding how Li Guoqiang did it.

You know, she has been knowledgeable in her life and has discussed health-preserving techniques with many male comrades, but she has never seen results similar to Qin Huairu's.

Could it be that there is some secret here?
Thinking of this, she wanted to find out more, but she was worried that it would arouse Qin Huairu's vigilance and suspicion.

Therefore, she could only keep this matter in mind and talk about it when she had the chance in the future.

At this time, Qin Huairu had no idea what Jia Zhang was thinking. When she saw how cooperative Jia Zhang was, she finally put her mind at ease.

Moreover, she felt even happier when she thought about how she wouldn't have to be so secretive when she went to Li Guoqiang to satisfy her cravings in the future.

Just when she was thinking of some way to get Li Guoqiang to help get a job for Banggeng, she suddenly heard a snoring sound in her ears.

When I turned around, I saw that Jia Zhang had fallen asleep in the quilt without me noticing.

This made her feel funny for a moment, and then tired.

In fact, if she hadn't had a mother-in-law like Jia Zhang who was lazy and always thinking about how to control her, she wouldn't have had such a hard life over the years.

Fortunately, her children have grown up now, and by chance, she has a young and strong partner, which finally gives her some hope for the future.

Not long after, she lay down on the bed, with a sweet smile, and slowly fell asleep, just like when she had just married Jia Dongxu.

At the same time, on the other side, Li Guoqiang had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by a loud cry.

Then, he got up and looked, only to see that Luo Huijuan had been holding Dabao in her arms and feeding him, while Erbao and Sanbao were crying with their fists clenched and their mouths opened.
