The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

Thinking of that person, Qin Huairu couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Yi Zhonghai.

Although he was also a man she had schemed against, Qin Huairu really didn't want to have any contact with him.

There was no way around it; you have to understand that the other person wasn't particularly good-looking, and more importantly, they had an old-fashioned air about them.

For Qin Huairu, who had a high opinion of herself, she really didn't want to have anything to do with the other party. Last time, she only did it to ensure that she could get that much dowry and didn't want to make things difficult for her parents.

That night when we met, we just kept hiding from each other.

However, now that Qin Huairu has already experienced a day of good life, returning to her previous lifestyle is naturally something she cannot tolerate.

More importantly, her diet has returned to what it used to be.

For a whole week, I ate one cornbread and one steamed bun made from two kinds of flour every day.

This is while she is currently pregnant. Qin Huairu cannot even imagine what it would be like after she gives birth.

Does that mean we'll just have to go back to eating cornbread?

What's the point of marrying into the city then?

Most importantly, Yi Zhonghai's initial enthusiasm cooled down.

It wasn't that he had no hope, but rather that he had discovered Qin Huairu and she was deliberately avoiding him.

So Yi Zhonghai simply stopped providing aid to the Jia family.

After a struggle with her conscience, Qin Huairu finally gritted her teeth.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai return, she went up to him and couldn't help but ask a few words of feigned concern.

"Master Yi, if your wife isn't feeling well, I might as well wash your clothes for you."

This show of concern was quite seamless, since Yi Zhonghai's public image was that Li Mei was in poor health and needed to take medication year-round.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Although he was incredibly excited, and even a little bit hot about Qin Huairu's figure.

However, he still spoke in a very casual manner.

"That won't do, Huai Ru, you're still pregnant..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu inwardly thought how difficult Yi Zhonghai was to deal with, but on the surface she simply put on a pitiful appearance.

"Master Yi, isn't this how everyone in Qin Family Village has come through? Please don't refuse."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai raised an eyebrow, but instead of feigning refusal, he subtly reminded Qin Huairu.

"Alright then, Huai Ru, come pick it up later..."

Upon hearing the deliberately exaggerated delay, Qin Huairu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

But when night fell, as if resigned to her fate, she made up an excuse and went out to use the restroom.

This naturally led to the encounter with the door god, Jia Zhangshi. Upon seeing Qin Huairu wanting to go to the toilet again, he couldn't help but frown.

Every time Qin Huairu goes to the toilet in the middle of the night, she always manages to cause some trouble.

"Remember this, you only have ten minutes."

After Jia Zhangshi finished speaking fiercely, she finally let Qin Huairu leave.

Upon arriving at the restroom, Qin Huairu unsurprisingly saw Yi Zhonghai, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu come out, he could no longer suppress his excitement and couldn't help but go up to her and grab her small hand.

Even though Qin Huairu was somewhat prepared, she still felt nauseous inside, but on the surface she could only pretend to be panicked and try to pull her hand away.

"Master Yi, this is not right..."

When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu, he initially wanted to refuse. He simply let go of her hand and couldn't help but nod in agreement, saying, "Yes, that's indeed not a good idea."

Seeing this, Qin Huairu was completely at a loss for what to do.

She could only pretend to sob quietly.

"Waaaaah, Master Yi, why are you like this..."

Seeing Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance, Yi Zhonghai became both firm and weak.

After sighing, his tone still carried a hint of resentment.

"Huai Ru, look, you've been pregnant for so long, and you're only contacting me now. And what did Cao Wei say the other day..."

Qin Huairu, with her eyes slightly red and swollen from crying, looked pitifully at Yi Zhonghai.

"Master Yi, do you believe him but not me?"

He looked as if he had been betrayed.

Upon seeing this, Yi Zhonghai naturally shook his head and then casually took Qin Huairu's small hand.

"How could that be?"

Qin Huairu now understood that it was impossible to gain anything from the other party without giving something in return.

After Xiangchun realized this, she was forced to change her playing style.

"Master Yi, because of that one sentence, my mother is now saying she can't be sure if I'm carrying a grandson. She makes me do so much work every day, and I only eat cornbread. How can I have the energy to come to you?"

While Qin Huairu continued to play the pitiful card, Yi Zhonghai's heart was almost melting. He couldn't help but think of Jia Zhangshi's pig-like face, and how Qin Huairu, despite being pregnant, hadn't gained much weight; in fact, she seemed to have lost some weight.

So he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"That damned old woman, she hasn't even been pretending for two days. Huai Ru, speaking of the child in your belly..."

Although the months matched, Yi Zhonghai's personality still made him somewhat suspicious.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yi Zhonghai, and said with a slightly shy tone.

"Master Yi, don't you already know..."

Seeing this, and considering that the months matched, Yi Zhonghai had almost completely dispelled his last remaining doubts. Looking at Qin Huairu's appearance, his eyes were practically spitting fire.

"Master Yi, I'm currently pregnant."

Qin Huairu's reminder did not dampen Yi Zhonghai's enthusiasm; instead, he smiled in a deliberately lewd manner and spoke.

"Huai Ru, don't forget the new knowledge you learned before."

At this moment, Qin Huairu hesitated somewhat, but then she thought about her current situation.

In the end, he chose to bow his head.

A short while later, a satisfied Yi Zhonghai, disregarding everything else, simply pulled Qin Huairu into his arms.

And very generously, he took out 50,000 yuan and stuffed it into Qin Huairu's arms, speaking in a deliberately nonchalant manner.

"Huai Ru, take the flowers. Don't make yourself and the child suffer."

Qin Huairu cursed Yi Zhonghai inwardly for being stingy. He had such a high monthly salary, yet he only gave her 50,000 yuan. But she still pretended to be shy and accepted it.

After all, although she had a big appetite, she didn't dare to actually show it.

Furthermore, Qin Huairu was confident that Yi Zhonghai now believed the child in her womb was his.

In addition, if you find out that the other party has not had children for many years and want to make money off them, then once the child is born, wouldn't that be a lot of legitimate opportunities?

Afterwards, realizing she hadn't gotten anything out of Cao Wei, she forgot about the so-called happiness and instead gritted her teeth and gave him a reminder.

"Master Yi, that little bastard Cao Wei talked about me like that before, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

One sentence almost instantly ignited Yi Zhonghai's anger.
