Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Qin Huairu recalled the time before she got married.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai went to see her and described the courtyard house to her.

She claimed to be a master craftsman at a steel rolling mill, with a high salary, and that she didn't have a son yet, and that all her future assets would be hers.

He even told her that he was the eldest uncle in the courtyard, and that the entire courtyard would help the Jia family.

The results of it?
The Jia family is a complete mess, with an unreasonable mother-in-law and an incompetent husband.

I won’t say that anymore.

When she married Jia Dongxu, she wasn't after the Jia family; what she truly valued was Yi Zhonghai's promise.

Who could have known that Yi Zhonghai's promises would change after she married Jia Dongxu?

They were reluctant to give money, and only offered cornmeal as food.

Except for not having to work in the fields, it's the same as living in the countryside.

She married into the city to live a better life, not to suffer.

If everyone lived the same life, she wouldn't say anything.

But not the same.

The He family, also located in the Intermediate People's Court, ate meat almost every day. He Yushui even started to become picky about her food.

How could she accept this?

She wanted to build a relationship with He Yuzhu, thinking that a little kid like him would be easy to manipulate.

Reality, however, slapped her in the face.

That brat He Yuzhu doesn't like pretty women at all; he avoids her whenever he sees her.

What can she do?
If you want to eat your fill and eat well, you have to find your own way.

She could only use her advantages to get close to other people in the courtyard.

She did all that for the Jia family.

She didn't eat the most of the things she obtained through her own abilities.

She worked so hard for the Jia family, yet her reputation was almost ruined by Jia Zhangshi.

If Yi Zhonghai hadn't stood up for her and explained things, she would have been labeled a shameless slut.

Hey……

A sigh revealed Qin Huairu's complex thoughts.

She doesn't regret what she did back then.

If I have any regrets, it's that I missed out on He Yuzhu.

If she knew how capable He Yuzhu is now, she would never have let He Yuzhu go back then.

It's too late to say anything now.

Qin Huairu just wanted to know, did she really want Tang Yanling to follow in her footsteps?
That's her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, should we reconsider? Yanling... what if Banggeng finds out?"

Madam Jia also sighed, "This is the fate of the women of the Jia family."

Do you think that stopping her will prevent her from doing that?

As she said this, Jia Zhangshi stared intently at Qin Huairu, making Qin Huairu feel uneasy.

Qin Huairu quickly understood what Jia Zhangshi meant.

Jia Zhangshi thought she was shameless and felt she couldn't handle her.

Qin Huairu wished she could slap Jia Zhangshi across the face.

Do you really think she did it voluntarily back then?

He was forced to do it.

She wouldn't be willing to do that if Yi Zhonghai could keep his promise, or if Jia Dongxu could be successful.

Doesn't she want to live an honest and upright life? She does.

But she couldn't help it.

Our family's circumstances don't allow it.

"Don't look at Yanling like that. Yanling is a good wife. As a wife, she should uphold the virtues of womanhood."

Nobody wants to ask someone for help unless they have no other choice.

Jia Zhangshi also understood what Qin Huairu meant.

When Qin Huairu openly refers to Tang Yanling, she is actually referring to herself.

Qin Huairu wanted to tell Jia Zhangshi that the reason they did those things back then was because the Jia family was not well-off.

Jia Zhangshi dismissed this with disdain.

If she doesn't understand others, how could she not understand Qin Huairu?

Qin Huairu is that kind of person at heart.

Even if the Jia family's conditions are three times better, as long as there are people with better conditions than the Jia family, Qin Huairu will follow the same old path.

At most, the Jia family just let her do it ahead of time.

To be honest, Jia Zhangshi was very unhappy that Jia Dongxu was marrying Qin Huairu. Jia Zhangshi's original idea was to marry someone from the city with good family conditions.

In this way, the wife's family can take care of the Jia family in the future and prevent the Jia family from being bullied.

Unfortunately, all of this was ruined by Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai brought Qin Huairu to Jia Dongxu, and after seeing Qin Huairu, Jia Dongxu insisted on marrying no one but her.

Just as he had guessed, after marrying Qin Huairu, the Jia family never had a single good day.

These words remained unspoken to Jia Zhangshi, who kept them to herself.

She didn't dare tell anyone else.

It's a done deal that Jia Dongxu is going to marry Qin Huairu. Saying it out loud will only make Qin Huairu resent her.

After Jia Dongxu passes away, her future retirement will be in Qin Huairu's hands, so she dares not say anything more.

"You don't need to explain for her. I've been through this before, I understand everything."

Qin Huairu, don't forget who Xu Damao is.

Yanling has been in contact with him a lot. Can you guarantee that nothing will go wrong?

"If they have a child, how will our Jia family ever face anyone again?"

"Xu Damao has been unable to have children for a long time," Qin Huairu said with a gloating tone.

She also harbored deep hatred for Xu Damao.

To be honest, she could be considered Xu Damao's mentor.

Now that Xu Damao has become successful, he's turned his back on her and doesn't care about her at all.

Madam Jia knew that Qin Huairu had relented: "Can you guarantee that she will only look for Xu Damao?"

If Qin Huai judges others by his own standards, he certainly wouldn't dare to make any guarantees.

Cast a wide net to catch many fish, and choose the best ones to catch.

These are the qualities a qualified "pure and innocent" person should possess.

Just as Qin Huai made up his mind, Tang Yanling and Xu Damao's conversation could be heard outside.

Xu Damao returned from the toilet and had just entered the courtyard when Tang Yanling saw him.

"Uncle Xu, you're back. I've made some warm water, please wash your hands."

This is basically the same old routine.

Tang Yanling lived in a courtyard house, so she naturally heard about Qin Huairu's story of washing clothes.

Others might think that Qin Huairu's actions are simply due to diligence.

As someone who is also innocent and pure, Tang Yanling knew very well that Qin Huairu's true intentions were not what they seemed.

She had to admit that this trick was really effective.

Especially in this courtyard house, the neighbors have all been fooled.

With Yi Zhonghai and his three powerful backers, no one dared to question Qin Huairu's motives when she did what she did.

She was inspired by Qin Huairu's methods.

It's impossible to wash clothes.

She felt she couldn't keep going.

Moreover, it doesn't wash clothes very well.

For your laundry to be effective, it needs to be seen by others.

As long as someone pretends not to see it, doing laundry is just a waste of time.

Just look at He Yuzhu, and you'll understand.

If Qin Huairu is washing clothes in the Intermediate People's Court, others may not be able to see it, but He Yuzhu definitely will.

They just pretend they can't see it, what can Qin Huai do?

He managed to fool a bunch of old men by doing laundry, but he let the fattest fish go unnoticed.

This is a classic case of picking up a sesame seed but losing a watermelon.

Tang Yanling would never do something so foolish.

Little did she know, Qin Huairu also didn't want to do such a foolish thing.

Qin Huairu's focus was also on He Yuzhu; she chose others purely because He Yuzhu wouldn't fall for her tricks.

Tang Yanling learned from Qin Huairu's experience and chose to use this kind of thing to get closer to her.

Xu Damao was highly skilled and daring; even though he knew this was a ploy, he didn't try to hide.

"Yanling, Banggeng really got a great deal by marrying you."

A hint of smugness appeared on Tang Yanling's face, but it quickly turned into frustration.

Bang Geng got a bargain, but she ended up losing money.

It was alright before she had children, but now that she has children, she doesn't know if she can escape the hellish Jia family.

She didn't want to end up like Qin Huairu decades later.
