The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Then say:

"Okay, then you can go back tomorrow!"

Qin Huairu nodded:

"Okay, Mom, I'll go with you to the steel mill tomorrow to hand over my work. I'll take the three kids with me too, since there's no ration here and we don't even get a bite to eat."

Back in the countryside, at least my daughter and I will have something to eat!

To everyone's surprise, Jia Zhangshi chose to stay here.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was serious, Jia Zhangshi panicked immediately, even though Jia Zhangshi was selfish and self-serving.

However, the Jia family's legacy is also very important, especially for Bang Geng; otherwise, they wouldn't have spoiled Bang Geng so much.

They've spoiled the brat so much he's turned into a brat.

Jia Zhangshi said:

"No, the sorghum must stay. If the sorghum has no food, then it can eat mine. I'll eat less!"

An older woman said coldly:

"Alright, since you put it that way, we can't say anything more. From now on, when the food is ready, everyone will eat their own rations."

No one can shamelessly take more than their share!

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia was immediately displeased:

"Hey old lady, who are you calling shameless?"

15 An older woman said with a smile:

"Hey, this is hilarious. I'm just shameless and take more than my share, but I didn't name names."

If you insist on taking it out on yourself, there's nothing I can do!

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing what the older woman said.

Qin Huairu knew that if she gave in this time, she would be finished. Qin Huairu said:

"Alright, since that's what you think, then you can have the great idea. I'll take Xiao Dang and Huaihua with me!"

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhangshi felt extremely flustered, fearing that Qin Huairu might be given the job.

I can't do it myself. It won't be long before the steel mill fires me.

If there are no more job openings, you might not even be able to keep your own house.

Jia Zhangshi was quite confident in Qin Huairu's appearance; otherwise, she wouldn't have let her son marry Qin Huairu in the first place.

Once Qin Huairu leaves her home, she will surely find another family soon, and then she will remarry.

How will I survive? And what if I have a stepfather? What if he sends me to that place and mistreats my grandson?

However, Madam Jia did not know whether Qin Huairu was bluffing or genuinely meant it.

Then, gritting his teeth, he asked:

"Qin Huairu, is that really what you think?"

Qin Huairu said to Jia Zhangshi:

"Mom, I'll call you Mom one last time. After I hand over my work tomorrow, we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore."

As a widow, the country supported my remarriage. After I remarried, I became someone else's wife.

I don't want to starve to death here. Everyone says that you've eaten the food rations of the four of us.

We had no food. How Dongxu went missing, others may not know, but don't you know?

If it weren't for the few of us eating Dongxu's rations, Dongxu wouldn't have been pulled into the machine due to exhaustion.

I don't want to die in the steel mill just because you want to eat your fill.

That's right, this job belongs to Dongxu. Logically speaking, as Dongxu's wife, there's absolutely no problem or fault on my part in taking this job.

But Dongxu was very good to me when he was alive, and I can't kill his mother just because Dongxu is gone.

However, I cannot be buried with Jia Dongxu just because Dongxu was good to me when he was alive.

That's impossible, so I'll give you back your job and a way to make a living. As for how you'll live from now on...

That's your own business. As for me, I'll just take it one step at a time. Can a living person be killed by holding in their pee?

I can support my two little girls and myself by doing whatever I want.

If all else fails, I'll go to the countryside to farm. Although I haven't worked in the fields for many years, I did grow up in the countryside.

I've also farmed, it was tiring, but at least I didn't starve in this era!

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, everyone looked at her in surprise. Qin Huairu had instantly changed everyone's previous perception of her.

It's all because of the state of the world. If anyone could survive, who would live like this?

Despite everyone's sympathy, no one in the compound said a word.

After all, everyone is short of food. If we pity Qin Huairu, who will pity our own family?

Seeing the indifferent looks in the eyes of the people around her, Qin Huairu felt even colder. After all, these were her neighbors who lived with her day and night.

"They really all stood by and watched me die," Qin Huairu said.

"Okay, don't worry, I only want the money I've earned myself over the past few years, I don't want anything else!"

You should know that since Qin Huairu started working, although her salary is not low, she has been very frugal with her money.

Most of the money was obtained by pleading poverty to others; the money earned on their own was basically saved up.

In the past two years, Qin Huairu has saved up about three hundred yuan.

With this money, even if Qin Huairu didn't go back, she could still find a place to stay and eat with her two young girls.

If Madam Jia knew Qin Huairu's thoughts, she would panic and blurt out what she had said.

Does he really have to apologize to Qin Huairu and admit his mistake?

You should know that in the past, Madam Jia Zhang was the absolute ruler of the Jia family. She could do whatever she wanted with her daughter-in-law.

But now it seems that things are not as I expected.

Qin Huairu actually said that, and didn't give herself any way out at all.

Is Qin Huairu being too assertive?

Do not?

In fact, Qin Huairu is still the same Qin Huairu. The reason why Qin Huairu did this is because of Yi Zhonghai.

Upon hearing the whole story, Qin Huairu understood Yi Zhonghai's attitude.

If I were to go against Yi Zhonghai, then the consequences would be dire, whether in the compound or on the field.

He himself had no good end, so if Jia Zhangshi stayed here, then it would have nothing to do with him anymore.

I will definitely leave this place of trouble.

If Jia Zhangshi were to take him away, then Yi Zhonghai would take care of him in this compound.

Qin Huairu knew very well who Yi Zhonghai was.

If you offend Yi Zhonghai, he might not do anything to your face, but who knows what this cunning old man behind the scenes might do?

Qin Huairu's choice was hard for everyone to believe, but Yi Zhonghai understood why she made that choice.

Although I made a mistake, the punishment at the steel rolling mill will certainly not be serious.

As for the reputation of the compound, I haven't found a suitable elderly person in it.

Of course, Qin Huairu can be considered half of Yi Zhonghai, but only half. Qin Huairu understands Yi Zhonghai, and the intelligent Yi Zhonghai also understands Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai knew exactly what kind of person Qin Huairu was.

It's important to know that the two of them could be considered master and apprentice at the steel rolling mill, and Yi Zhonghai's every move at the steel rolling mill was closely watched.

Yi Zhonghai was fully aware of all this, and he had personally witnessed how the men of the steel mill were completely manipulated by this pretty widow.

Qin Huairu got what she wanted, but only after being taken advantage of by a man.

However, Qin Huairu did not act dissolutely, nor did she do anything with other men.

Because Yi Zhonghai had someone test the waters, offering only a thousand yuan, Qin Huairu still didn't agree.

After all, Qin Huairu still missed Jia Dongxu at this time, and was still very loyal to him.

However, whether or not this will happen in the future, neither Qin Huairu nor Yi Zhonghai knows. After all, in order to survive, no one can know for sure.

So Yi Zhonghai, leaning on his cane, coldly observed the whole affair.

Everyone knows what's going on, but they just stand by and watch.

Upon seeing this, Jia Zhangshi said:

"Okay, then we'll go for the handover tomorrow!"

I never imagined that Jia Zhangshi would be so ruthless, abandoning her own grandchildren for her own sake!
