Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

"Get out of here, and don't stay at my house again. You've brought shame to the Jia family."

Jia Zhangshi was truly desperate; Sha Zhu refused to let her in, and Qin Huairu wouldn't take her in either.

Now that she's fallen to this state, Jia Zhangshi's old stubbornness has resurfaced.

"Qin Huairu, you shameless hussy, how dare you not let me into the house! I am the rightful daughter-in-law of the Jia family..."

"Dongxu, Lao Jia, you should take Qin Huairu away... She won't let me into the house, she's probably afraid I'll ruin her plans."

Qin Huairu was once again berated by Jia Zhangshi, and people also spoke ill of Qin Huairu.

“Your mother-in-law is in such a miserable state, and you still won’t let her go home.”

Many people know perfectly well that Qin Huairu and her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, are equally matched.

Just then, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui arrived at the scene.

If Yi Zhonghai doesn't take charge and the two of them don't step in, this courtyard will be in complete chaos.

"Give way to everyone, give way to everyone."

"Everyone, young and old, please make way."

Someone recognized Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's voices and quickly cleared a path for them.

"Second Uncle and Third Uncle are here. Let's see what they have to say."

Qin Huairu was furious after being scolded by Jia Zhangshi.

"They're here, so they're here. Let's see how these two gentlemen solve the case."

When Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui entered, they saw Jia Zhangshi collapsed on the ground, her whole body filthy.

Chapter 173 Jia Zhangshi is homeless

Qin Huairu stood at her own door, seemingly not allowing Jia Zhangshi to enter the house.

Anyone would have done the same.

Qin Huairu was usually bullied by Jia Zhangshi the most. Before Jia Zhangshi got married, she would beat and scold Qin Huairu.

She had always suspected that Qin Huairu was having extramarital affairs.

Now that rumors are circulating that she once did the most despicable job and even had an affair with Yi Zhonghai, she naturally has no face to speak.

"Sister-in-law, get up first, the ground is cold."

Only then did Madam Jia slowly stand up.

Liu Haizhong coughed, as if announcing his authoritative presence.

Indeed, now that Yi Zhonghai is not showing his face, he is the highest-ranking official in the courtyard.

Even the lowest-ranking official wields power.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment, let me say a few words."

“Qin Huairu, what you are doing is wrong. No matter what, Jia Zhangshi is a member of the Jia family and has given birth to a son for the Jia family. It is unreasonable and illogical for you not to let her into the family.”

Qin Huairu was already reluctant to speak, and although she felt she was right, she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle..."

"If we let him into the house, how will our Banggeng ever be able to hold his head up again?"

Just as Qin Huairu was saying this, Banggeng, who was hiding behind his own door, seemed to understand what the adults meant.

He ran out and spat at Jia Zhangshi several times.

"You wicked woman, you're not allowed in my house."

"Mom, if you let her into the house, I'll kill myself."

Bang Geng is already ten years old and knows what shame is.

The rumors circulating outside had already reached his ears.

Others even said he was a bastard, not a descendant of the Jia family.

This made Bang Geng very angry.

After saying that, Bang Geng rushed out of the house and ran outside.

Qin Huairu was worried that something might happen to Bangfeng, so she ran out to look for her son.

Huaihua and Xiaodang kept crying.

Uncle Yan Bugui shrugged, feeling that things were getting increasingly complicated.

So they quickly discussed it with Liu Haizhong.

“Old Liu, let’s not force ourselves to make the decision. If Qin Huairu really can’t accept Jia Zhangshi, how about we find her another place?”

“Look at Banggeng, he’s practically dying. If anything happens to this child, we can’t bear the responsibility.”

Liu Haizhong readily agreed, as he was also afraid of something going wrong.

"How about this, let's discuss it with the old lady and arrange for Jia Zhangshi to stay in the old lady's empty room for a few days, and then we'll work on Qin Huairu."

An agreement has been reached.

The key point is that the deaf old lady is no pushover either.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui brought Jia Zhangshi to her door, and the old lady didn't know what they were there for at first.

Liu Haizhong gestured and spoke, and she finally understood his intention.

"I can stay one night, but you have to pay me."

The old lady is very calculating; you can't take advantage of her.

"Grandma, how much do you want?"

The deaf old lady simply held up one finger.

“One cent? Madam Jia, you can give me the money.”

But the old lady shook her head repeatedly.

"A dollar."

Jia Zhangshi screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Grandma, you're overcharging! How can you charge a dollar for a room for one night?"

"No, I won't pay."

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui knew that Jia Zhangshi was a stingy hen.

Since the two sides could not reach an agreement, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui also found the situation to be tricky.

"One of you is trying to raise the price on the spot, and the other refuses to pay no matter what. We can't handle this anymore."

"Sister-in-law Jia, then you should find a place to stay yourself."

Madam Jia panicked immediately. The weather was about to get cold, and Qin Huairu wouldn't let her in. She couldn't stay outside all night.

"Okay. I'll pay this dollar."

Having no other choice, Jia Zhangshi had to take out a dollar.

The matter has finally been calmed down.

Sitting at home, Li Jianjun felt his breathing become smoother.

Jia Zhangshi's mouth was vicious; this can be considered retribution.

Not only are they divorced, but they are now homeless.

...

The next day, Li Jianjun went to work happily. When he arrived at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, he received a new task.

Ran Qiurui needed to compare data with data from other sister factories because of a certain data point.

Therefore, Director Yang meant that she wanted to send Li Jianjun to be her bodyguard.

Li Jianjun was puzzled. Ran Qiurui was conducting research at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, and as the head of the security department, ensuring its safety was within his job responsibilities.

Why did Ran Qiurui need him to accompany her when she went to other factories for research?

Factory Director Yang seemed to sense Li Jianjun's confusion and said, half-jokingly and half-enviously.

"Jianjun, the big leader introduced Ran Qiurui to you, and now you are Ran Qiurui's rightful partner."

"I assigned you to be Ran Qiurui's bodyguard, and you're not even grateful? Are you secretly happy about it?"

That's what happened.

Li Jianjun was naturally more than happy to accept this.

"Haha, such a beautiful girl, if I were thirty years younger, you wouldn't stand a chance."

Factory Director Yang drooled; Ran Qiurui's beauty surpassed that of any woman he had ever seen.

Unfortunately, he is now middle-aged and no longer has that opportunity.

"Then I thank Director Yang for giving me this opportunity."

Rather than saying that Director Yang gave Li Jianjun a chance, it would be more accurate to say that Director Yang did so to curry favor with the higher-ups and to give Li Jianjun the title of matchmaker.

“Jianjun, don’t you know how to drive? It’s quite a long way from our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill to the Second Steel Rolling Mill.”

"Why don't you drive my car over there?"

In those days, cars were only affordable for high-ranking officials; ordinary people could only dream of owning one.

In the 1960s, there were no Santana, Audi, or BMW; the only domestically produced car was the Hongqi sedan.

The Hongqi sedan's performance is almost considered garbage by today's standards, but it was top-of-the-line back then.

Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, which is why the factory director was provided with a Hongqi sedan.

These cars are usually reserved for specific individuals, and ordinary people are not qualified to ride in them.

Li Jianjun had never driven a car in this life, and his hands were itching to do so.
