He Daqing, the head chef of the second canteen, suddenly ran away at noon.

There was something going on at the factory, so they sent Liu Wu to find him.

I came along with them.

You look familiar. Are you from the factory?

How did you get injured like this?

The White Widow was very good at socializing; she quickly steered the conversation towards Jia Dongxu, giving him something to talk about.

"Yes, yes, I am Jia Dongxu from Workshop 2 of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

He lives in the same courtyard as He Daqing.

Jia Dongxu quickly picked up the conversation.

Smelling the sweet fragrance emanating from the white widow, Jia Dongxu felt dizzy, as if he were floating on clouds, light and unreal.

His voice trembled slightly.

"I came here to look for He Daqing because I care about him."

However, there was a misunderstanding with the villagers, which is why I got hurt.

"You care so much about your neighbors, you're such a good person."

"Look at your injury, let me wipe it for you."

The white widow took out a white handkerchief, leaned close to Jia Dongxu, gently wiped the sweat and dirt from his forehead, and asked him with concern.

"No, I can do it myself."

Jia Xudong had never seen anything like this before.

He hurriedly raised his hand to stop her, but accidentally grabbed the white widow's fair wrist.

Both of them were startled, and after a few breaths, Jia Xudong reluctantly let go.

"I'm sorry, I was reckless."

Miss Bai, I'm alright.

Jia Dongxu turned his head away, avoiding the white widow's handkerchief, looking embarrassed.

Deep down, I kept replaying the feeling of that touch in my mind.

Bai Zhan's hands were truly smooth, delicate, and soft, with a texture like silk.

Widow Bai was an experienced woman; she could easily see through Jia Dongxu's little scheme.

He wore a virtuous and upright appearance on his face, but his mind was already filled with lustful thoughts.

Changes in a certain part of the body are irrefutable evidence.

"It's getting late. If we don't go back soon, we might not make it to Beijing tonight."

Since we can't find He Daqing, let's retreat.

The white widow put away her handkerchief and pretended to leave.

Jia Dongxu quickly stood up and said anxiously, "We've been looking for so long, why don't I help you look for a while longer?"

Even heroes have their moments of indifference, let alone a coward like Jia Dongxu.

Now, Jia Dongxu only has eyes for Widow Bai and is thinking about how to spend more time with her.

They completely lost their vigilance.

They fell into a trap without even realizing it.

"Alright then, we've come all this way, let's look for it together again."

The white widow smiled slightly, knowing perfectly well that the fish had taken the bait.

……

He Daqing returned to the courtyard house just as Chen Lei finished work.

Ten days later, the renovation of the east courtyard was completed on schedule, and all the custom-made furniture was in place, so it was ready for occupancy.

"Master He, what do you think of the house renovation?"

Chen Lei led He Daqing to inspect the east courtyard.

The remaining payment can only be settled after the project has been inspected and accepted without any issues.

Chen Lei dared not accept the money if the matter was not handled properly.

He Daqing looked around the courtyard inside and out.

After Chen Lei's renovation, the once somewhat dilapidated courtyard became smooth-walled, bright-eyed, and neatly arranged, looking brand new and spotless.

The brightly colored bed and chairs blend seamlessly with the room, complementing each other perfectly and creating a pleasing aesthetic.

The potholes and uneven areas in the yard have been filled in and the yard has been neatly paved.

This little courtyard is truly a wonderful place to live.

"Master Chen, your skills are superb. I really didn't make a mistake in choosing you."

He Daqing nodded in approval, then took out four large bills and paid the remaining balance.

"Thank you, Master He. If you need any more masonry or carpentry work in the future, just come to my father and me."

Chen Lei let out a hearty laugh.

He Daqing is a discerning person; he doesn't skimp on the money he's owed.

Chen Lei works hard, earns money happily, and the quality of his projects is top-notch.

"I will definitely contact you if I need anything."

After the house was finished, He Daqing wanted to invite Chen Lei and the two craftsmen to have a meal together.

However, they were in a hurry to go home after receiving the payment, so they declined.

That evening, He Daqing moved into the courtyard with his daughter, cooked a big meal, and celebrated properly.

While the He family celebrated, the Jia family was in dire straits.

It was already late at night, and Jia Dongxu still hadn't returned.

Chapter 16 Jia Dongxu Caught in Adultery

"Someone, help!"

A mournful wail echoed through the courtyard.

With crutches and dragging her broken leg, Jia Zhangshi barely managed to crawl out of the house and cried for help.

Despite her injuries, Jia Zhangshi was not strong enough and her voice was not as loud as usual, but it could still be heard throughout the entire courtyard.

Unfortunately, all the neighbors in the courtyard stayed inside, and none of them dared to come out and help.

Everyone still vividly remembers Yao Min's incident.

Regardless of the truth, no one wants to get involved in the Jia family's affairs.

It's better to be safe than sorry; if I get scammed, that would be disgusting.

Seeing that she couldn't get anyone to come by calling out, Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to support herself and prepare to knock on doors one by one.

Jia Zhangshi only had one son, and her future hopes rested entirely on Jia Dongxu.

If something really happens to Jia Dongxu, how will she live?

Not long after, there was a series of urgent knocks on Yi Zhonghai's door.

"Yi Zhonghai, come out and help!"

If you don't come out, I'm going to smash my head against this wall and die right here. Then you'll have to come and collect my corpse!

As the saying goes, a kind person is often bullied, and a good horse is often ridden.

Ever since she successfully extorted money from Yao Min last time, Jia Zhangshi subconsciously labeled Yi Zhonghai's family as easy to bully.

Whenever something happens, they go to Yi Zhonghai's house to make a scene.

"boom!"

The door suddenly burst open, and Yao Min, gritting her teeth and glaring angrily, stepped out of the house with a kitchen knife in her hand, and began to curse Jia Zhangshi.

"You shrew Jia Zhangshi, how dare you come to our house to cause trouble!"

I'm telling you, if you keep causing trouble, I'll fight you to the death!

Yao Min was increasingly angry these past few days because her kindness had been trampled on. She couldn't eat or sleep because of the resentment she was holding in, and she had nowhere to vent her anger.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhangshi dared to come and cause trouble, which really pushed Yao Min to her limit.

Yi Zhonghai, who followed her out, quickly hugged Yao Min from behind to prevent her from doing anything foolish.

"Amin, calm down, calm down!"

Yi Zhonghai knew in his heart that his wife had been wronged.

However, firstly, there was no evidence to prove their innocence, and secondly, they had to maintain their relationship with Jia Xudong as his mentor, so they did not pursue the matter further.

Who knew that Jia Zhangshi would be so reckless as to dare to come knocking on our door?

That idiot is practically asking for death.

Yao Min's frenzied behavior truly frightened Jia Zhangshi, causing her to fall to the ground and scream loudly.

"Murder! Murder! Yao Min is going to kill someone!"

Someone come quickly! "

As the situation escalated, the residents of the central courtyard could no longer remain silent and had no choice but to open their doors and call over their neighbors from both the front and back yards, gathering together and converging on Yi Zhonghai's house.

With such a big commotion, the east wing was inevitably affected as well.
