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

Finally, he poured the wine on the ground, as a toast to his first love, which had never even begun and was already coming to an end.

........................................................................

"That's settled then. Go to the neighborhood committee tomorrow to get the certificate, and you and Liu Yuhua can pick up the certificate in a couple of days."

"Getting things done before work will put my mind at ease."

In the cellar, Qin Huairu kept thinking about the words He Daqing had said to He Yuzhu before he left. She covered her face and sat on the ladder, crying bitterly.

At this moment, she cried like a child. In the thirteen years since she married into the Jia family, she had never cried like this, not even when Jia Dongxu died.

She used to rely on Sha Zhu, treat him as a tool to support her family, and see him as a money bag from which she could withdraw money at any time.

But now that she knows Sha Zhu is getting married in three days, she suddenly feels that she is starting to feel jealous of that fat Liu Yuhua.

Thoughts that I had never considered before began to sprout in my mind, and they became clearer and clearer.

In what way is Qin Huairu inferior to that fat woman Liu Yuhua?

Although she had three children and used to work in the factory, her looks and figure still far surpassed Liu Yuhua's.

Why can Liu Yuhua marry Sha Zhu, but I can't?

She has known Sha Zhu for over a decade, and they've had countless interactions in recent years. In terms of feelings, Liu Yuhua isn't even worthy of carrying her shoes.

He has already inquired about his mother-in-law's situation at the police station, and it's confirmed that she will be imprisoned.

Upon hearing the result, Qin Huairu felt no sadness, but rather a secret joy, and a sense of relief.

Her mother-in-law is in jail and will definitely not be able to return home for a while, so she will be free of a major burden.

Originally, she planned to have Bang Gengren Shazhu become her godfather, learn his skills from him, and thus keep him by her side.

But later He Daqing disagreed, and the matter was dropped. She then thought that if that didn't work, she would send the stalks to the recycling station.

I can work as an apprentice at a scrap metal recycling station and earn thirteen yuan a month, plus a subsidy of one yuan and fifty cents, which makes fourteen and fifty cents a month.

Bang Geng earns enough money each month to support himself, and his salary can be used to support his family, which will greatly reduce his burden.

But now that my mother-in-law is in jail, I not only don't need to support her these past few years, but I also don't need to give her any money for her old age.

The money I borrowed from her before doesn't need to be repaid yet; in fact, she never intended to repay it anyway.

In this way, she has her own 31 yuan salary, which is enough to support herself and her two daughters.

Based on their previous standard of living, she and her two daughters could never spend all their money and could even save some each month.

Now free from burdens, Qin Huairu has begun to entertain thoughts she never dared to consider before: remarrying!

That's right, Qin Huairu is going to remarry. After having this thought, the first person she wanted to remarry was He Yuzhu.

It's not that she didn't think about others, but rather that others weren't within her consideration.

Not to boast, but if Qin Huairu were to announce that she was going to remarry, the number of people from the steel mill willing to marry her would be too many to count on one hand.

However, Qin Huairu has a child, and she has to consider her child when she remarries. Those men who marry her are only doing it for her sake and may not necessarily be good to her child.

Moreover, if she marries someone else, she will most likely have more children, and how many she has will depend on the other person's mood.

When she has her own children, how will people treat the three children she brought with her (Qianqianhao)?

But He Yuzhu is different. If she marries him, Shazhu will definitely treat the three children the same as before, as his own.

The most important issue is that Shazhu is infertile, so she doesn't need to worry about having children.

She no longer needed to scheme; her three children would be Sha Zhu's support in the future, and everything Sha Zhu would have in the future would belong to her three children.

Without her mother-in-law's obstruction, it would be much easier for her to remarry Sha Zhu; all she needed to do was win over He Daqing.

To deal with He Daqing, all you need to do is take down Sha Zhu. Once Sha Zhu is captured, He Daqing will be much easier to handle.

In the long run, her remarriage to Sha Zhu is far more beneficial than harmful to Uncle Bi.

After thinking everything through, Qin Huairu made up her mind: Sha Zhu cannot marry any other woman, and Liu Yuhua is even less acceptable; he can only marry her!

Qin Huairu stood up and left the cellar. On the way, she began to plan how to get Sha Zhu to agree to marry her.

He Yuzhu drank for a while, feeling increasingly annoyed by the wine. He got up, took off his cotton-padded coat, and prepared to go to sleep.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and lifted the curtain to see Qin Huairu standing outside.

"Oh, Sister Qin, what brings you here?"

Qin Huairu stood behind the door, smiling as she looked at He Yuzhu.

"It's freezing cold, why are you making me stand outside the door to talk?"

When He Yuzhu saw Qin Huairu's little look, he immediately forgot about the promise he had made that afternoon.

He turned slightly to the side and extended an invitation to Qin Huairu.

"No, please come inside. It's warm inside."

Qin Huairu entered the room and saw the dishes that had not yet been cleaned up, and then she saw the bed that had already been made.

"Silly Zhu, are you going to sleep without even clearing away this table?"

He Yuzhu said somewhat awkwardly.

"I drank quite a bit and was a little tired, so I thought I'd take a nap and then clean up."

Qin Huairu rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward.

"When you wake up, the room will smell terrible, and it won't go away even after three days of ventilation."

Seeing Qin Huairu help tidy up, He Yuzhu didn't stop her.

At first, he wasn't used to it, but he quickly got used to it. Over the years, Qin Huairu would come back from time to time to tidy up for him.

He was already used to this behavior, and he picked up the kettle and brewed a pot of fresh tea.

"Thank you for your help, Sister Qin."

Qin Huairu replied while tidying up.

Why are you being so polite with me?

Qin Huairu truly lived up to her reputation as a master of household management; she had tidied up 883 in no time.

Seeing that Qin Huairu had washed her hands, He Yuzhu led her to sit down at the table and handed her a cup of tea that had already been poured.

"You've been busy all day, have some water."

Qin Huairu took the tea and drank a sip, pretending not to know anything.

"How did the blind date go today? Did it go well?"

He Yuzhu said.

"I guess it's settled. Tomorrow we'll go to the neighborhood committee to get the certificate, the day after tomorrow we'll get the marriage certificate, and the day after that we'll get married."

Qin Huairu said.

"Why the rush? It's only three days at most!"

He Yuzhu said.

"We can't afford to be in a hurry; Fengzeyuan needs to start work on Monday."

Qin Huairu asked in confusion.

"Fengzeyuan?"

"Are you going to work at Fengzeyuan?"

He Yuzhu didn't seem particularly excited; he simply nodded.

“My dad used his connections and went to great lengths to get me in.”

"Although I was his assistant and a second chef, it was a stable job, much better than running around doing odd jobs on the street."

Being a cook at Fengzeyuan was naturally better than doing odd jobs; even being a sous-chef was more respectable than being a regular cook.

Qin Huairu knew exactly what Fengzeyuan was, and now that she knew Shazhu was going to work there, she was very happy.

"Congratulations! First you married your beautiful wife, and then you joined Fengzeyuan. You've achieved success in both marriage and career."

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

"Alright, Sister Qin, stop teasing me about this double harvest."

Qin Huairu asked in surprise.

"I'm not mocking you, I'm congratulating you."

"Getting back a secure job is no easy feat; you must cherish it."

He Yuzhu snorted.

"What's there to be happy about? I'm doing this job at the cost of my happiness for the rest of my life."

Qin Huairu asked, looking puzzled.
