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

He Yuzhu found Jia Zhangshi's words grating, and he almost couldn't help but get up and slap her.

But remembering Yi Zhonghai's instructions, he suppressed his anger and said...

"Jia Zhangshi, you are being completely unreasonable."

“Your son died before Huaihua was born. When Huaihua was born, you didn’t take her to the hospital. You insisted on giving birth at home.”

"It caused Sister Qin to have a difficult childbirth, and she almost lost her life."

"Huaihua was only two months old when Sister Qin finished taking care of all your affairs and then took over the workshop, where she worked for four years."

"Over the years, she has raised the child with great care and hardship, serving you food and drink without a single complaint."

"To support you, my wicked mother-in-law, and your three children, I have to put on a smiling face in front of my coworkers, and listen to their vulgarities in exchange for a few pounds of grain coupons."

"To keep her job, she, a woman from the countryside, studied blueprints with those who stayed up late by lamplight."

"Did she do all this only to receive harsh words from you, her mother-in-law?"

"I won't say anything if you insult me, but you insult Qin Huairu, the person who raised you. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

“Your son is dead. She is now a free person. It’s out of kindness that she supports you, and it’s only right that she doesn’t.”

"Do you think this is still the old society? Do you still believe in the old ways of being a member of the Qin family in the next life and in death?"

"It's not working anymore!"

"Let me tell you, I'm determined to marry Qin Huairu. I'm going to make her my wife!"

"New people, new things, new country. Marriage autonomy and encouragement of remarriage are instructions from the top leaders. Whether you, Jia Zhangshi, agree or not is irrelevant!"

"I've put up with you for a long time. If you dare to be unreasonable and insult people again, I won't be polite."

"If you push me too far, I'll not only marry your daughter-in-law, but I'll also change the surname of your grandchildren."

"Once you get out of prison, I'll send you back to the countryside and let you live out your days alone!"

Qin Huairu originally didn't want to interrupt, but seeing He Yuzhu say such things...

She thought that Sha Zhu was acting recklessly because of his mother-in-law, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Silly Zhu, my mother-in-law was just angry for a moment, why are you doing the same thing as her?"

"Her health is already poor, don't make her sick from anger."

Would Qin Huairu care about Jia Zhangshi's life or death?

Naturally, she didn't care; where Jia Zhangshi went was no longer within her consideration.

She came out because she was afraid that if Sha Zhu pushed Jia Zhangshi too far, things would get out of control and she would lose her job.

Also, she was going to marry He Yuzhu, but she never thought about changing the surname of Banggeng's three children.

Hearing Qin Huairu's words strengthened He Yuzhu's resolve to marry her, especially since Jia Zhangshi had just slapped Qin Huairu.

Even now, seeing her clash with Jia Zhangshi, she still comes out to protect her, which shows that she, like herself, is a person who values ​​relationships.

"Alright, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Madam Jia was so angry at He Yuzhu's words that she trembled all over. Now, seeing the two of them whispering to each other in front of each other, she was even more trembling.

"You dare, you idiot Zhu!"

“This house belongs to the Jia family, the children belong to the Jia family, and the steel rolling job belongs to the Jia family.”

"If you want to marry her, I can't stop you, but you won't be able to take the children, the house, or your job!"

Qin Huairu got angry when she heard this and was about to go forward to argue with Jia Zhangshi, but He Yuzhu grabbed her hand and gave her a look.

Seeing that Qin Huairu had stopped speaking, He Yuzhu knew that she understood his meaning. He grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and led her to Jia Zhangshi.

“…” Jia Zhangshi, look carefully, what I, He Yuzhu, want is Qin Huairu.

"You won't give us the children, the house, or the job, right? Then we don't want them either, we'll leave them all to you."

"You should go to the steel mill and work in the workshop to earn a wage to support your three children in the Jia family."

He Yuzhu paused for a moment before continuing.

"Oh, no, I forgot something."

"You've been arrested and taken to the police station for stealing Xu Damao's car. You'll probably be sentenced soon, at least three years."

"Three years is neither a long nor a short time. I heard you've saved up some money, haven't you?"

"Then you can leave it with Banggeng and the others. The three kids need at least fifteen yuan a month for living expenses."

"One hundred and eighty a year, five hundred and forty in three years, not including buying clothes and other items."

"That way, your secret stash of money will be enough for Bang Geng to last until he turns sixteen in three years."

"Once you're out, whether Banggeng lets you stay at home to be filial (Qianqian is good) or we send you back to the countryside, that's not our business."

"By then you'll be old enough to take over the business. Of course, if you don't want your grandson to take over, then you can come and work here yourself in three years."

"It doesn't matter who goes, the salary is sixteen yuan plus a two-yuan subsidy, eighteen yuan is enough to support an old man and his two younger sisters without starving."

"At worst, you can just eat cornbread and pickled vegetables and live a hard life for a few years."

Jia Zhangshi originally intended to put pressure on Qin Huairu with these three things, but she didn't expect Sha Zhu to ruin the situation.

For a moment, Madam Jia was at a loss. She looked at He Yuzhu angrily.

"Silly Zhu, you...you...uncle"

After stammering for a while, Jia Zhangshi's head tilted to the side, and she fainted due to a sudden surge of anger.

Upon seeing this, Qin Huairu hurriedly ran over, and He Yuzhu also came over to check her breathing and said.

"It's alright, he's still alive."

He Yuzhu reached out and pressed on Jia Zhangshi's philtrum, and Jia Zhangshi quickly woke up.

Qin Huairu and an older woman helped Jia Zhangshi up, and He Yuzhu watched as Jia Zhangshi slowly recovered.

"I know you're going to yell at me, but save your energy and let me finish what I have to say before you start yelling."

Madam Jia's eyes were bloodshot with rage; at that moment, she wished she could devour He Yuzhu alive.

She understood what He Yuzhu had just said; he was clearly trying to shift the burden onto her.

If she were to oppose his marriage to Qin Huairu and even want Qin Huairu to leave with nothing, then the responsibility of the Jia family would suddenly fall on her shoulders.

Qin Huairu was laid off, but the steel mill would reserve the Jia family's job openings out of consideration for Jia Dongxu's death.

But she was about to go to jail. Banggeng was still young, and the steel mill had age restrictions for its employees. Even if she went to the workshop as an apprentice, she would have to wait three more years until she turned sixteen.

For three years, she had to bear all the expenses for her three children, and eventually, her position was taken over by Banggeng.

It remains to be seen whether Banggeng will take care of her grandmother, who has been to prison, when the time comes.

Even if she were to be supported by her side, her salary would barely cover her expenses, making it difficult to live a good life. She knew in her heart that Banggeng did not have his mother's abilities.

There won't be another fool like Zhu who will come out to help them and ensure they have enough to eat and wear.

As Jia Zhangshi's expression gradually softened, He Yuzhu spoke calmly.

"So, you've figured it out now?"

"It's not that Qin Huairu can't live without your Jia family; quite the opposite, it's that your Jia family can't live without Qin Huairu."

"Don't even mention that you're about to go to jail. Even if you don't go to jail, do you think you can go to the factory to work and earn money to support your grandchildren?"

"When you're not around, and the children are separated from their mother and have no one to educate them, do you think they'll go astray and end up in this police station like you?"

Madam Jia didn't care at all about her two granddaughters. She figured they could just find someone to marry when they grew up and she could even get a dowry.

But she couldn't ignore her grandson Banggeng. If no one disciplined him, Banggeng would surely become a thief and audacious.

I'm afraid that before she gets out, this guy will have to go back to the reformatory, and by then it will be too late for the Jia family.

Even if she died then, she wouldn't have the face to see Lao Jia and her son.

"Silly Zhu, what exactly do you want? Do you really want to drive this old woman to her death?"

As the saying goes, "to kill someone is to destroy their spirit," and He Yuzhu's rebellious words can be said to have exposed Jia Zhangshi's last line of defense.

At this moment, she was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to agree to the marriage or not. She stood up and made a gesture as if she was about to bang her head against a wall.

"Silly Zhu, weren't you going to marry Qin Huairu?"

"Fine, I'll just kill myself right here in this house today, and let's see if you two can get through this."

When He Yuzhu saw an old woman and Qin Huairu blocking Jia Zhangshi's way, he spoke up.

"Don't stop her, let her crash into me. I want to see if Jia Zhangshi is willing to die."

"If she were willing to die, she would have already untied the rope in her belt and hanged herself when she was arrested by the police station. Why wait until now?"

Jia Zhangshi steadied herself and cursed at He Yuzhu.

"Shazhu, you're a complete bastard, a total scoundrel and bastard."
