Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

The beef brisket rice porridge, with its perfect color, aroma, and taste, is even more delicious.

The aroma of beef wafted outside through the chimney of Wang Lin's house.

Wang Lin's family eats early; other employees who have been working all day are just getting back now.

As soon as Qin Huairu got home, she took a basin and prepared to go to Wang Lin's house to "borrow some meat," claiming it was to nourish the pig's body.

"Brother Wang Lin!"

Sure enough, just as Wang Lin and the others were enjoying their meal, Qin Huairu showed up at the door with a basin in her hand, licking her cheeky face.

"Boom boom boom!"

The knocking sounded somewhat urgent.

Qin Huairu could already smell the aroma of meat from Wang Lin's house from the doorway. Wang Lin must be eating meat at home today!

Fang Yue heard the knocking, but Wang Lin showed no intention of opening the door. She asked, "If you don't open the door, will she break it down?"

Wang Lin nonchalantly munched on a beef tendon and said, "If she dares to break down the door, I'll call the police and make her pay for the repairs. Trying to get something for nothing! No way!"

After hearing this, Fang Yue continued eating without worry, because she was really afraid that Wang Lin would soften his heart again and cause trouble for himself.

Qin Huairu pounded on Wang Lin's door and shouted, "Brother Wang Lin! I know you're home! Open the door, Bang Geng is still young! I want to borrow some meat from you!"

Chapter 68 The Heartless Wang Lin

I'll come to your door to borrow some meat!

This reasoning is, undeniably, quite common in this era.

Qin Huairu used the excuse that her son was still young and needed more nutrition, which was an excellent starting point. However, she overlooked her son's true nature; he was a complete ingrate, disliked by everyone in the yard.

Several minutes passed, and the people inside continued eating and drinking but refused to open the door for Qin Huairu.

This made Qin Huairu feel a little awkward standing outside with a large basin in her hands.

When others come to borrow meat, they use bowls! But Qin Huairu, that bitch, actually used a basin. She really is a black-hearted white lotus. If she could, she might even go in and let Wang Lin take the pot away.

"Boom boom boom!"

Qin Huairu banged on the door even harder this time. She refused to believe that they could still eat while she kept banging on the door.

Unfortunately, Qin Huairu underestimated the determination of the people inside; they refused to open the door.

Five minutes passed, and Qin Huairu felt that a layer of paint on the door had been knocked off, but the person inside remained unmoved, as if they couldn't hear anything at all.

Qin Huairu stared at Wang Lin's door, gritting her teeth. If she could, she really wanted to kick the door open right now.

Just thinking about the disappointed look in Bang Geng's eyes when she went back, and the expression of resentment towards her own incompetence, Qin Huairu simply raised her leg and kicked him.

With a loud thud, the lock on Wang Lin's house door, which hadn't been repaired for years, was broken, and the door opened.

Hearing the noise, Qin Huairu reached out to push the door open, as if victory was in sight.

But the next second!

Qin Huairu felt a tremendous force as she pushed the door open; the door slammed into her forehead, sending her flying.

The moment Qin Huairu entered the room, Wang Lin chose to kick her.

Qin Huairu tripped and fell at Wang Lin's doorstep, the basin falling to the ground with a thud.

The deaf old woman across the hall watched everything from her window; she didn't go out.

Qin Huairu, the deaf old lady, disliked him, and she disliked Wang Lin even more. She wouldn't get involved in the affairs of two people she didn't like.

Qin Huairu felt a slight pain in her buttocks. Before she could even get up, Wang Lin, holding a bone and gnawing on the beef attached to it, said to Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu! You kicked down my door! Pay up!"

"Pay me money?" Qin Huairu said shamelessly, "Wang Lin! It was clearly your door that knocked me down, you should pay me back!"

"What a joke! Where am I?" Wang Lin thought to himself as if he were listening to a huge joke.

"Of course I know this is the backyard! But so what if it is the backyard? You knocked me down with your door." Qin Huairu sat on the ground and refused to get up.

"This is my doorstep! Why are you, a widow, not at home taking care of your ungrateful son, banging and kicking my door? Are you bored and have nothing better to do?" Wang Lin said while gnawing on meat, deliberately.

"You... Wang Lin! I just came to your door to borrow some meat! I didn't expect you to not only ignore me at home but also hurt me!" Qin Huairu always managed to present her fallacies as if they were the truth.

"Widow Qin! Are you coming to borrow meat and a basin? This isn't borrowing, it's robbing!" Fang Yue's voice rang out behind Wang Lin. She was also eating meat from a bowl and mocking Qin Huairu.

"Nonsense!" Qin Huairu stubbornly denied it, saying, "I just took it from home. If you're willing to lend me the meat, I'll just go back and get a new bowl."

Bowls come in big and small sizes, so she can just go back and find a bowl that's about the same size as a basin.

Wang Lin pointed to the handprint on the door and said to Qin Huairu, "You can try to argue! But if I call the police, it won't just be ten yuan for door repairs."

There were indeed several handprints on the door. Qin Huairu retorted, "The handprints on your door might be someone else's. Why do you say they're mine?"

Wang Lin had seen people who were stubborn before, but he had never seen anyone like Qin Huairu who was both hypocritical and stubborn. He chuckled and said, "Then I can only call the police and let the officers handle it."

Calling the police at the drop of a hat!

Qin Huairu hated this about Wang Lin the most: why couldn't they resolve the issue by holding a hospital-wide meeting? Once the police were called, all her methods became useless. In order to prevent Wang Lin from calling the police, Qin Huairu got up and said, "Let's let everyone judge this matter."

Summoning!

Qin Huairu's favorite thing to do is to call for backup!

Wang Lin, however, did not do as Qin Huairu wished. He saw through her thoughts at a glance and said, "Your methods can only fool the idiots in the yard. When something happens, of course we'll call the police to punish you beasts."

Animals!

Qin Huairu's face flushed with anger as she retorted, "Wang Lin! You're just looking down on everyone because you have resources! Who do you think you are!"

Wang Lin answered bluntly, "I look down on you! You have hands and feet, but you only rely on taking advantage of the men in the factory to bring food home, and you even sneak into the warehouse with Xu Damao for a few steamed buns."

Although it's just one sentence, it contains a lot of information.

Qin Huairu took advantage of the male employees at the factory, one of whom was Xu Damao!

Fang Yue looked at Qin Huairu with disdain after hearing Wang Lin's words!

I never imagined that Qin Huairu was such a person behind the scenes!

"You're talking nonsense!"

Qin Huairu's face turned deathly pale in an instant. How could Wang Lin know so much! There was no way anyone else could have known that she and Xu Damao had gone into the warehouse, yet Wang Lin had to tell everyone.

The deserted warehouse had always been Qin Huairu's hideout, her camp where she earned food and supported her family by using her beauty. Wang Lin knew all about it, which gave Qin Huairu the illusion that her life was being monitored.

After intimidating Qin Huairu, Wang Lin reached out and demanded, "Ten yuan! No compensation! Then I'll have to spread the word in the yard about what you, Qin Huairu, have done in the factory."

This is a blatant threat!

"I have no money! All the money is in my mother-in-law's hands."

Qin Huairu panicked. She couldn't care less about borrowing meat now. If Wang Lin went out and spread rumors, and things couldn't be calmed down, what would she do? She had to give five yuan of her monthly salary to her mother-in-law, and the rest was her life-saving money! She had to hide it carefully; it was her lifeline!

Over the years, Qin Huairu's family has lived a very comfortable life thanks to numerous donations from the compound. Not only have they saved a considerable amount of money, but they have also created the illusion of extreme poverty for the other residents, making them believe that Qin Huairu's family is living a miserable life.

The truth is, Qin Huairu's family is doing better than anyone else's. Jia Zhangshi has not only not lost weight, but has actually become plump! This situation is similar to that of Liu Haizhong, that power-hungry scoundrel, who is living a very comfortable life.

"I'll give you ten minutes! If you don't see ten yuan by then, I'm going to tell everyone all about your glorious years, Qin Huairu." Wang Lin wasn't going to put up with Qin Huairu. She said she had no money? No way! She still had at least several hundred yuan in her savings, and more.

"Brother Wang Lin! I..." Qin Huairu still wanted to play the victim to gain sympathy, but when she saw Wang Lin's sharp eyes, it seemed to be telling her that no matter how pitiful she acted, he wouldn't feel sorry for her for a second.

How could there be such a heartless man in the world!

Chapter 69 He Yuzhu Beats Up the Third Uncle

To avoid paying money, I'll keep acting, even if it's awkward.

"Brother Wang Lin! I only tapped your door twice and it broke. My family really doesn't have the money to compensate you."

Qin Huairu prostrated herself at Wang Lin's feet, holding his legs with both hands. She vividly portrayed a widow who had suffered a lot, and even her crying was so realistic that it was hard to believe she was crying, making her seem pitiful.

"No money?" Wang Lin kicked Qin Huairu, who was clinging to his leg, away and said to her with a look of disgust, "Stop pretending. The compound has donated a lot to your family. Are you going to take it out yourself or should I arrange it for you?"

"Wang Lin, what are you saying? I don't understand! The money our neighbors donated to our family has already been used to buy food." Qin Huairu blinked, her expression innocent and naive.

"Stop pretending!"

If anyone else were to act cute like this, Wang Lin might give them a second glance, but Qin Huairu, a middle-aged widow, acting cute! The scene is a bit too much for the eyes.

Seeing that Wang Lin was unyielding and that the methods she usually used to manipulate other men were not working on him, Qin Huairu became somewhat insecure.

Could it be that my charm has diminished recently?

Normally, as long as he gives a glance, Sha Zhu will happily offer up cornmeal.

Why did switching to Wang Lin stop working?

Qin Huairu never doubted her looks; after all, she was the most beautiful woman in Old Qin Village!

Seeing Qin Huairu dawdling like that, Wang Lin lifted his leg to leave and said, "Since you don't know what's good for you, I can only go and spread your reputation so that others know what kind of person you are."

"No!" Qin Huairu was shocked and quickly grabbed Wang Lin with both hands. If Wang Lin spread this, how could she live in the factory?

Wang Lin dodged Qin Huairu's hand and repeated two words with a stern face: "Pay up!"

Ten yuan!

This is their family's food supply for a whole month.

Qin Huairu was reluctant to pay, but Wang Lin knew too many of her secrets. If she didn't obediently comply, the consequences would be just as unbearable as before.

Wang Lin looked at Qin Huairu, knowing that she would obediently hand over the money to avoid trouble.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, Qin Huairu took out ten yuan from the inside pocket of her clothes.

This ten yuan was money Qin Huairu had painstakingly saved up from her salary, and she was about to give it to Wang Lin before she even had a chance to enjoy it, so she was somewhat unhappy about it.

Wang Lin snatched the money away, not even glancing at Qin Huairu, and warned, "Don't come to the backyard if you have nothing better to do. Why don't you go to the front yard and bother other people? If you bother me, do you think I'll give you a single grain of rice? You used to be so smart, how come you've become so stupid now?"

The speaker may not have meant anything by it, but the listener may have taken it to heart.

Fang Yue covered her mouth; Wang Lin's words were a bit too much.

Isn't this a roundabout way of saying Qin Huairu is stupid?

After hearing what Wang Lin said, Qin Huairu suddenly realized, "That's right! My main battlefield is in the front yard, where I can easily handle someone like Sha Zhu. Why did I have to come to the back yard to provoke Wang Lin, only to end up getting no benefit from it?"

It seemed that Qin Huairu had found her purpose in life after her enlightenment. She stopped delaying and picked up the basin from the ground to return to the front yard.
