Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

It's getting late, everyone should go home now.

Yi Zhonghai misjudged the situation; he never expected that the prestige he had built up over the years in the institute would be so easily destroyed.

The neighbors dismissed his self-righteous pronouncements with disdain, offering direct rebuttals without giving him any face.

Now that he's in trouble, Yi Zhonghai can't care about anything else and can only try to shirk his responsibility for taking care of the deaf old woman.

Otherwise, they'll really be sucked dry forever.

"Old Liu, Old Yi says he has no relation to the deaf old lady and can't take care of her. What do you think we should do?"

It's impossible to escape by using He Daqing's words.

There was more than one person in the institute who wanted to get rid of Yi Zhonghai.

Liu Haizhong is one of the most prominent figures in this movement.

He Daqing displayed his prowess tonight, stealing the spotlight, while Liu Haizhong was just worried about not having a chance to shine.

Just as I was dozing off, He Daqing handed me a pillow.

"This is easy to handle."

Everyone, listen to me.

Look, Mr. and Mrs. Yi Zhonghai have no children, and the deaf old lady has no children either. Their situations are so similar; they are practically family.

Without children, they all lack family affection.

I think Yi Zhonghai could recognize the old lady as his mother.

Yi Zhonghai may not have children, but he can have a mother.

Wouldn't that make things perfectly legitimate, and we wouldn't have to worry about what others might say?

Do you all agree with what I said?

I have to say, the mouth in the bangs is really sarcastic.

This passage repeatedly vehemently criticizes the extinction of both Yi Zhonghai's and the deaf old woman's families.

"exactly!"

"Yi Zhonghai, you may not have children, but you can have a mother!"

All the neighbors applauded and cheered.

It's so satisfying to dump the deaf old woman, this burden, on Yi Zhonghai's head.

No, no!

My mother passed away many years ago, how can I possibly adopt another child? That would be unfilial!

Yi Zhonghai quickly continued to decline.

This marriage is absolutely not to be accepted, otherwise Yi Zhonghai will truly have no good days ahead.

The deaf old woman who had fallen to the ground hurriedly got up, picked up her cane, and ran towards Yi Zhonghai.

She wouldn't let such a great opportunity slip by.

As long as we can lock down Yi Zhonghai, we won't have to worry about retirement.

"Son, my dear son, Mom is here!"

Yi Zhonghai was caught in a dilemma. Looking at the deaf old woman's twisted face, he finally hurriedly led Yao Min through the crowd and ran home.

I've already lost enough face tonight, so one more won't make a difference.

"Yi Zhonghai, your mother is here!"

The neighbors began to laugh loudly, retaliating fiercely against Yi Zhonghai for causing trouble.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai and Yao Min entered the room, they quickly closed the door, turned off the lights, and pretended to be turtles.

No matter how loud the noise outside was, he remained silent.

This incident completely destroyed the public image he had painstakingly built up in the hospital, and he lost all prestige.

Forget about manipulating public opinion in the institute; just getting by by keeping a low profile would be a miracle.

Once the main character had run away, everyone had had their fill of laughter and went home to rest.

Only the deaf old woman remained, standing dumbfounded in front of Yi Zhonghai's house, shouting.

When He Daqing returned home, he found his wife lying on the bed with her eyes open, clearly waiting for him.

What exactly happened tonight?

Qin Huairu kept He Daqing's advice in mind and usually stayed in the east courtyard, living a secluded life and not caring much about the people and things outside.

However, she was quite curious about the constant commotion in the courtyard.

I don't know how something from a courtyard house could cause so much trouble, even more than in Qin Family Village.

"Yi Zhonghai wanted to persuade us to take care of the old lady in the backyard."

As a result, your man turned the tables on you, and he ended up getting himself into a trap.

He Daqing took off his coat and shoes and slowly crawled into bed.

After Qin Huairu warmed up the bed, He Daqing felt very comfortable. It's just different when there's a woman around.

"He's a strange person. We're not related to him at all, so why should we take care of him in his old age?"

Does the old lady have no children?

Qin Huairu has no intention of taking care of others in their old age; she'd be lucky if she could take good care of her own family.

"Yes, both of their families have no descendants."

"When you get old and no one takes care of you, you'll be eaten alive and your fortune will be ruined. Are you scared?"

He Daqing gently rubbed his wife's cheek with his cold hand.

"Hate."

Qin Huairu gave a coquettish sigh.

"I'm not afraid when you're here."

"Huai Ru, let's give Yu Shui a younger brother or sister as soon as possible."

That way you'll have more security in the future, how about it?

Before his wife could agree, He Daqing moved closer to her.

……

Two days later, the storm gradually subsided, and Mr. and Mrs. Yi Zhonghai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Yi, you really are something else, always coming up with bad ideas."

Now that things have turned out like this, how are we supposed to stay in the courtyard?

Yao Min sighed repeatedly as she looked at the smashed window.

After that night, the deaf old woman harassed them even more.

He would smash the windows with his cane from time to time, disturbing the peace of Yi Zhonghai's family.

Yao Min hasn't slept well these past two days.

"Hey, it's all because we don't have children that we get bullied by them."

At this point, the two exchanged a glance and sighed in unison.

This is the tragedy of having no descendants: old age without children, easily bullied, and unable to fight back.

It's alright now that Yi Zhonghai is young, but things will only get worse when he and his wife get older.

The jackals in the yard are all waiting to tear a piece of flesh from them.

"A teacher for a day is a father for life, so we still have to find Xudong."

Otherwise, if we talk in the courtyard, no one will respond, and it simply won't work."

Yi Zhonghai began to miss the days when Jia Xudong was around.

Although this apprentice is not very useful, at least he can still speak up for us.

With him around, how could Yi Zhonghai have fallen into a helpless situation and been besieged by everyone?

"I think we should adopt a child as soon as possible."

"Let's raise a younger child, someone who doesn't know any better, so that when he grows up, we'll have someone to rely on."

Yao Min was not optimistic about Jia Xudong.

What good could that idiot Jia Zhangshi possibly raise?

Jia Xudong is a complete waste; he only makes things worse.

"I've been teaching him for so many years, let me give it another try."

If all else fails, we'll consider another option.

Yi Zhonghai is the kind of person who won't give up until he hits the Yellow River or the South Wall.

"I'll go see Liu Wu again tomorrow."

Chapter 33 The Military Control Commission came to the door.

After finishing his work in the afternoon, He Daqing picked up his empty lunchbox and prepared to go home.

The food at the steel mill canteen was cheap and affordable, but the menu was rather limited, so He Daqing would sometimes buy groceries to take home and change things up.

On his way home, He Daqing saw from afar that Yi Zhonghai had not returned to the courtyard, but instead was heading towards Liu Wu's house.

Knowing the other party's intentions, He Daqing shook his head. He didn't expect that after only a few days of peace, Yi Zhonghai would cause trouble again.

However, this time He Daqing did not follow behind to find out information, but went straight home.
