Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

She didn't care about arguing with these gossipy women anymore and quickly walked towards the courtyard house.

When she arrived home, she saw Qin Huairu cooking. She walked up to her and slapped her without saying a word.

"Snapped!"

The slap was crisp and loud, leaving Qin Huairu stunned, and even the neighbors who were washing clothes nearby were startled.

After Qin Huairu realized that it was Jia Zhangshi who hit her, she looked aggrieved.

"Mom, what are you doing? You hit me as soon as I got back?"

Jia Zhangshi angrily started cursing.

"Qin Huairu, you shameless slut."

"You did such a scandalous thing while I wasn't home, so why can't I hit you?"

"My son has only been gone for a short time, and you've already cheated on him. How can you do this to my Dongxu?"

Qin Huairu covered her face and said.

"Mom, I didn't. Don't listen to their nonsense."

Jia Zhangshi snorted coldly.

"No?"

"They've already cornered you inside, and you're still trying to argue with me!"

“I knew something was wrong when that old man Yi Zhonghai used to deliver things to my home in the middle of the night.”

"I never imagined that you two actually had an affair."

"Qin Huairu, you're really something! Even a rabbit won't eat the grass near its burrow!"

As soon as Jia Zhangshi said this, the neighbors started gossiping.

"So it turns out that the old man used to deliver things to Qin Huairu in the middle of the night."

"It seems these two have been together for a while now."

"Don't talk nonsense. Maybe Grandpa Yi is just trying to help the Jia family."

"Come on, if he wants to help, he should just deliver it openly. Why does he have to do it in the middle of the night?"

"Perhaps they were afraid of what people would say about them. There's always gossip around a widow's door, especially when there are two widows."

"If he's scared, he can just have an older woman deliver it. Why does he have to go and deliver it himself in the middle of the night?"

"You're right. If we're talking about doing good deeds, why doesn't he do them for my family? If you ask me, this is just a secret rendezvous to bring warmth."

Qin Huairu's face turned bright red upon hearing this, whether from being hit or from anger was unclear.

Originally, no one knew about Yi Zhonghai's financial assistance to the Jia family, but now, his own mother-in-law has revealed it all.

Now the whole courtyard knows that Yi Zhonghai secretly met with Qin Huairu in the middle of the night to offer her warmth.

This makes an already unclear matter even more muddy, but the facts are undeniable, leaving people speechless.

Originally, she only wanted to swindle Yi Zhonghai out of money, and there was no further development in their relationship.

After this incident, the factory will not take any arbitrarily action against them without evidence.

But in the eyes of the neighbors, Qin Huairu was having an affair with Yi Zhonghai, which ruined her reputation and made her lose face.

Previously, these were just rumors, but once this got out, she truly became a promiscuous and wicked woman.

"Mom, there's really nothing between me and that old man, you have to believe me."

Madam Jia was already furious and wouldn't believe Qin Huairu's words, so she continued to curse.

"Qin Huairu, even at this point, you're still trying to argue with me?"

"Do you think I will believe you?"

"How can our Banggeng hold its head high in front of others!"

As she was cursing, Jia Zhangshi started crying and making a scene. She sat down on the ground and wailed.

"Dongxu, my son, come and see for yourself what kind of woman you've found."

"If you had listened to me and not let her into the 853 family, our Jia family would not have been so disgraced and humiliated."

"She did something so immoral and disgusting, she really disgraced the Jia family!"

The neighbors in the courtyard originally disliked Jia Zhangshi, but seeing her current predicament, they felt a little more pity for her.

After all, no one would be in a better state than Jia Zhangshi if they encountered such a terrible situation.

Qin Huairu was also angered when she saw Jia Zhangshi sitting on the ground throwing a tantrum.

"Mom, let me be frank with you, I did nothing to betray Dongxu, compared to what happened to the Jia family."

"If you want to make a scene sitting on the ground, then go ahead and make a scene. If you don't believe me, go ask the factory security department yourself!"

After saying that, Qin Huairu turned to the neighbors who were watching the commotion.

"What happened yesterday was a misunderstanding. I went to an old man's house to borrow some money."

“Everyone knows that my mother-in-law made a mistake and was sent to the countryside for reform. She must have been hungry and cold for a month and suffered a lot.”

"I was thinking that when she comes back, I'll buy her some good food and drinks to help her recover."

"But as everyone knows, we have to stretch every penny, so we don't have any extra money."

"I went to borrow money from an old man, and he kindly lent it to me."

"To express my gratitude, I poured the old man a cup of hot tea."

"But that damned Xu Damao was indeed harboring evil intentions; he has harmed many people."

"Not only did he send our son Banggeng to a juvenile detention center, but he also had an affair and divorced Lou Xiao'e."

"For this, he was punished by the factory to work part-time cleaning toilets for a period of time, where he made an enemy of an old man."

“Last night he deliberately shouted loudly, which startled an old man, and the hot tea spilled on him. The old man had no choice but to take off his clothes.”

“That bastard Xu Damao spread rumors that I had an improper relationship with an old man, and even dragged everyone to watch, which led to what happened last night.”

"I was just too scared to explain the reason in time, which led to misunderstandings among many people and even caused an old man to be injured by the pillar."

"I've already made this matter clear to the security department today. Anyone who dares to use this incident to tarnish the reputation of the Jia family will be dealt with severely."

"Then don't blame me, Qin Huairu, for being impolite. This concerns my reputation. If you push me too far, don't blame me for smashing his windows and breaking his pots."

"Anyone who doesn't let me live a peaceful life will also have a bad day!"

After saying that, Qin Huairu took the stir-fried dishes back into the house, and the courtyard was quiet.

Even Jia Zhangshi, who was wailing on the ground, stopped. At that moment, a sentence came to mind for everyone present.

"Is this still the same Qin Huairu who was gentle, easily bullied, innocent-looking, and kind to everyone?"

After leaving the library, Cao Xu and Ding Qiunan rode their bikes to Wangfujing to go shopping. They visited many stores, but didn't buy much.

Cao Xu pushed his bike and watched Ding Qiunan walking ahead, thinking to himself that no matter what era, women's love of shopping is the same.

And they all have a common problem: they visit far more stores than they buy anything.

Time flew by and it was noon. The two arrived at Dashilan.

Seeing that Ding Qiunan wanted to continue shopping, Cao Xu quickly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

"It's getting late, how about we grab something to eat first?"

Don't be fooled by riding a bicycle; when you're out shopping, it's not very useful except for carrying some things. You have to walk and push it around.

Ding Qiunan didn't think much of it at first, but when Cao Xu mentioned eating, she actually started to feel hungry.

"Did you bring your ticket when you ate out?"

Cao Xu smiled.

"Don't worry, I can afford to treat you to eighteen dishes even if you order them all."

Standing in the sun, Ding Qiunan sniffed.

"Let's go eat roast duck then."

Cao Xu said.

"Alright, whatever you say. Bianyifang or Quanjude?"

Cao Xu had eaten roast duck twenty days ago with Lou Xiao'e, and after so many days, he really wanted to try it again.

There are two types of Peking duck in Beijing: one is roasted in a hanging oven, and the other is roasted in a closed oven.

Among hanging oven roasted ducks, Quanjude is the most famous, while Bianyifang is the top choice for braised oven roasted ducks.

It's important to understand that people's lives are quite difficult these days. Their daily meals consist of either cornbread and pickled vegetables or flatbread with stinky tofu.
