Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 181 Calculation
"Old Jia passed away early. When I was leading Dongxu, life was much harder than it is now. Yi Zhonghai was not a quiet person at that time. He was a coward and didn't know whose fault it was. You even went to get help from Yi Zhonghai in the middle of the night. I made such a fuss because I was afraid that you would suffer. We all went through it that way. When Banggeng grew up, we got through it. Dongxu was the same at that time. He was about to have good days..."

Jia Zhang couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke. She turned and took Qin Huairu's hand and whispered, "Huairu, please burn incense for Dongxu and go to the hospital to have the IUD removed tomorrow. Just think of it as a good thing. I'm afraid I'll have to put you through this in the future."

"mom……"

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang in disbelief. Asking a widow to get an IUD inserted, wasn't that just asking her to...

Although she had sold her body many times in the factory before, she only winked and talked to the men and never let them take advantage of her.

Thinking about what she might have to do in the future, Qin Huairu's eyes were full of resistance and she stammered, unable to speak.

"Huai Ru, this is all for Bang Geng. Mom will buy some more insoles to see if I can help you. If you don't want to, find a way to get a permanent job quickly. If you do, Bang Geng won't be hungry anymore."

Jia Zhang tried to suppress the pain in her throat and tried to persuade him gently, with an inexplicable emotion flickering in her eyes.

Qin Huairu was completely shocked by what Jia Zhang said. If she looked at Jia Zhang at this moment, she would probably see the calculation in Jia Zhang's eyes.

That’s right, the reason why Jia Zhang asked Qin Huairu to get an IUD was not only to make Banggeng’s life better, but also to force Qin Huairu to stay in this family.

Qin Huairu, who had an IUD, would have more and more leverage over her, so she wouldn't have to worry about Qin Huairu abandoning their family and running off with someone else.

Even if she met a romantic man who was willing to marry Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu would have to use the evidence she had on her to marry him, bringing her whole family with her.

"Mom, I'm going to get an IUD tomorrow."

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng who was still hiding in the corner, then looked at Xiaodang who was sitting obediently beside her and dared not make a sound, and finally patted Huaihua in her arms, and finally agreed to Jia Zhang's request.

Her children are all at growing age, and this is the only way out for her to feed them better with her current salary.

Qin Huairu, who was used to being helped by others, never thought about focusing on the exam. Deep down, she felt that it was impossible for her to pass the exam in advance.

……

The Jia family decided the future, and Xu Damao's family was no exception.

"If the guards hadn't followed me, something serious would have happened. I've been in the hospital the past few days and I didn't even thank the guards. I toast to you."

Xu Damao drank the wine in the glass as he spoke, with an incomprehensible emotion in his eyes.

Guard Zhou raised his glass to toast Xu Damao, took a sip and said with a smile: "Brother Damao, what are you talking about? What is the relationship between our two families? Do we need to be so polite?"

Zhou Weimin held down Xu Damao's hand as he was about to pour the wine, and gently advised: "Da Mao, the guard is right, why are you being so polite to us? Sister Xiao'e is still in the hospital, don't drink too much, in case something urgent happens, drinking too much will cause trouble."

Not long after the show ended in the Central Courtyard, Xu Damao came with some wine and food and asked him and the guards to come and have a drink together.

Looking at Xu Damao's current appearance, the wine today was a fake thank you, but the briefing was real.

Thinking of this, Zhou Weimin gently kicked the guard's leg.

Xu Damao put down the bottle and said angrily, "What's the problem? There are many people in the hospital. They don't need me."

He took out an envelope from his pocket and put it on the table, saying self-deprecatingly: "Guard, this is not given to you by me, please don't misunderstand. I remember the kindness in this matter, you should keep it, otherwise my father-in-law will be worried." "Okay, then I will keep it."

Guard Zhou chuckled, put the envelope away, and immediately stood up and said, "Brother Damao, I know this is not what you meant, don't take it to heart."

After saying that, Guard Zhou walked out the door without looking back.

Xu Damao just watched, then suddenly raised the bottle and took a big gulp of the wine.

"Wei Min, look, this is my father-in-law. Do you believe that someone else would be able to smash a bottle on my head?"

"Okay, I know you're angry, but you married your wife, so you have to bear the consequences yourself."

Zhou Weimin patted Xu Damao on the shoulder. He was not surprised at all that Lou Ruizhong would do such a thing.

It's not the same as a few years ago. If Lou Xiao'e gets into trouble, Lou Ruizhong will definitely be rejected if he goes to the police.

In this situation, Lou Ruizhong couldn't help but be careful. It was normal to repay the favor with money.

Having been in Lou Ruizhong's position for so long, it has become ingrained in his bones that solving problems with money is something he cannot change.

Xu Damao was silent for a long time, then he smiled and whispered, "Yes, I married my wife myself. Wei Min, do you think I did something wrong?"

Zhou Weimin did not answer, but asked: "Did something happen?"

It was really too abnormal that Xu Damao suddenly came back from the hospital and looked so disheartened.

"I was in the hospital taking care of Lou Xiao'e today. A senior leader was staying in the ward next door. I heard it when I passed by..."

"Wei Min, I can't be a leader anymore. This is how my life will be."

In the end, Xu Damao didn't say what he heard. He laughed at himself and started drinking again.

Zhou Weimin stood up and looked outside the door to make sure no one was eavesdropping before closing the door. He said jokingly, "This is how my life will end, Damao. How much do you despise me? It's just a matter of class background. Are you still a man if you want to risk your life?"

"You, you, cough cough cough...Wei Min, did you know this a long time ago? Do you have any way to help me?"

Hearing this, Xu Damao choked on the wine and started coughing repeatedly, but he didn't care about the discomfort and rushed to Zhou Weimin anxiously as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Don't want to drink anymore? If you don't want to drink anymore, sit down and talk. Do you look like you're talking about serious matters?"

Zhou Weimin sat down at the table leisurely, opened the bottle of wine beside him that he had not drunk yet, poured himself a glass, and took a sip slowly.

Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly sat down again and said flatteringly: "Brother, I called you brother, Wei Min, please tell me quickly, this is not a joke, how I will live the rest of my life depends on you."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Zhou Weimin put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Da Mao, the composition issue is difficult to say, but it is also simple to say. You are quite familiar with Nan Yi, right? Before he was transferred to our factory, his composition was much worse than yours. Because of the composition issue, he was fired from the machine repair factory, but look at him now?"
