Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"If he doesn't come back with you, then give up on him, settle down and get married, and live your life well."

He Yushui made up her mind and took the lead in walking forward.

"Okay, let's go to Baocheng to find my dad!"

Cao Xu watched He Yushui's steps forward. "He Daqing, we'll meet soon. It's time for you to come back."

P.S.: He Daqing is coming back to fight. Will chaos and turmoil be far behind?

To explain, Qin Huairu's job transfer was to advance the plot. By freeing her up, she would have more time to deal with the old woman from the Jia family.

Chapter 88: A Confrontation with Jia Zhangshi, First Encounter with the Simp He Daqing! [Please Subscribe]

The Jia family's courtyard house.

The Jia family had a very lavish lunch today: three dishes of stewed cabbage and potatoes with pork belly, a whole plate of red sausage, and a dish of peanuts.

They ate steamed buns made from two kinds of dough and drank millet porridge with diced meat and carrots.

At the dinner table, Jia Zhangshi and her grandson Banggeng were competing to see who could grab the food the fastest, while Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua were eating their food one bite at a time.

"Grandma, don't just eat the meat, leave some for me. They took a plate of it, and there are only a few slices left."

Jia Zhangshi put a piece of fatty meat with skin in her mouth, and her mouth was full of oil.

"Bang Geng, you need to know how to respect your elders, you know?"

"Grandma suffered in the countryside for a month to avenge you, and you won't even let her eat a couple more slices of meat?"

Banggeng took the plate of red sausage from the side and poured the last eight slices of red sausage into his own bowl.

As he put the plates back, he saw his two younger sisters looking at him expectantly.

He gritted his teeth, took four slices from his own bowl, and gave two slices each to Xiaodang and Huaihua.

"Eat up, that's all. Two slices each, and four slices for your arm."

"Don't blame me, blame Grandma for being greedy and eating all of your share."

Xiao Dang and Huaihua smiled when they saw the two extra pieces of sausage in their bowls.

"Thank you, brother. You're the best. Grandma doesn't care about us at all."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia felt quite uncomfortable.

"Hey, you two ungrateful brats, when has Grandma ever stopped loving you?"

"When have we ever had a good meal without you guys getting a share?"

"I don't love you all, and you don't even know how to respect your grandmother."

As she spoke, she reached out with her chopsticks and picked out a piece of red sausage from each of the two children's bowls.

"Consider this your way of showing respect to Grandma!"

Xiao Dang is alright; she's already used to her grandma's preference for boys and her gluttony.

But Huaihua was only four years old, still a little child. When she saw her grandmother take the sausage from her bowl, she immediately felt wronged and was about to cry.

"Grandma, why are you fighting with Huaihua for food?"

When Jia Zhangshi heard that Bang Geng had complained about him, she immediately became angry.

"You little brats, Grandma raised you all these years, how is eating a piece of sausage considered stealing?"

“Let me tell you, if it weren’t for Grandma watching over you, who knows what would have happened to you?”

Seeing that Huaihua was about to cry with her little mouth pouting, Jia Zhangshi scolded her with a stern face.

"Don't cry, or you won't get to eat."

Qin Huairu had just arrived when she heard Jia Zhangshi scolding the children. She lifted the curtain and said...

"What's wrong? Can breaking a vow of virginity really cause an argument?"

When Xiao Huaihua saw her mother return, she immediately turned around and pouted.

"Mom, Grandma won't give me sausages, and she won't let me eat."

Qin Huairu pulled Xiao Huaihua into her arms and coaxed her.

"Why wouldn't Grandma give you sausage? Grandma was just teasing you."

"Here, let Mom give you some sausage."

After speaking, Qin Huairu prepared to stuff the locust flower with sausage, but when she looked at the table, she saw that all the dishes on the table had been swept away.

Qin Huairu sighed and said nothing. She glanced at the bowl of stalks and saw that there were still some in it, so she picked up a piece with her chopsticks and put it into the bowl of locust flowers.

"Come here, locust flowers, look, there they are."

Banggeng pouted.

"Mom, those are mine. I just gave them to the two of them. Grandma took them."

Qin Huairu said.

"Alright, what's wrong with you eating one less bite? Can't you see your little sister is about to cry?"

"You can eat it if you want, but if your sister cries, you can comfort her."

Thinking of how difficult it would be to comfort Huaihua when she cried, Banggeng tilted his head and muttered to himself.

"Forget it, I guess I'm just unlucky."

Qin Huairu raised her hand and flicked Bang Geng on the forehead.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

When Madam Jia saw that Qin Huairu had hit her grandson, she put down her chopsticks and said...

"Why did you hit him?"

"Little brat, will you die if you eat less?"

Qin Huairu opened the cupboard and took out some pickled radishes.

"Mom, watch your mouth."

"You're arguing with a four-year-old child. Wouldn't that make the person lose face if they heard you?"

When Madam Jia heard Qin Huairu insult her, she was so angry that her nose almost twisted out of shape.

"Qin Huairu, who are you talking about? Who are you saying is immoral?"

Qin Huairu sat down on a chair and hugged Xiao Huaihua to her arms.

She picked up the bowl, took a sip of porridge, and ate some pickled radish and steamed buns made from two kinds of flour.

"I wasn't talking about you, you're the most virtuous."

Banggeng and Xiaodang lowered their heads and chuckled when they heard their mother's words. Seeing this, Jia Zhangshi scolded them.

"What are you laughing at? Even eating can't shut you up!"

Qin Huairu knew that Jia Zhangshi was using the scolding of the child as a pretext to scold her.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was ignoring her, Jia Zhangshi lowered her head, finished the rest of the porridge, and looked at Qin Huairu to ask.

"How are Sha Zhu and Xu Damao doing?"

Qin Huairu said while eating.

"What else can happen? It's just like that."

"By the way, the factory has made its decision on how to handle this."

As they spoke, Qin Huairu briefly recounted what had happened at the hospital to Jia Zhangshi.

When Jia Zhangshi heard that Xu Damao was only punished in the workshop below, and that Qin Huairu was not going to pursue the matter, she immediately became furious.

"Qin Huairu, have you lost your mind?"

Why don't you hold Xu Damao accountable?

"So, the Xu family secretly gave you money? How much?"

Qin Huairu's forehead was covered with black lines.

"Mom, what are you saying? What kind of person do you take me for?"

"Also, if I took the money, could I not tell you?"

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi was about to ask more questions, Qin Huairu spoke up.

"Alright, let me tell you the truth."

"It's not that I want to let Xu Damao go, it's that Deputy Factory Director Li wants to bail him out."
