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

"But the deaf old lady found out about what happened this afternoon and gave me an order not to get involved in your family's affairs."

"Besides, even if I go against the old lady's wishes and plead with Director Wang, I'm afraid he won't help you for nothing."

Qin Huairu knew that when Yi Zhonghai said that the help wouldn't be for nothing, he was actually implying that he wouldn't do it for nothing.

After hearing him say that the deaf old woman wouldn't let him help, Qin Huairu hated the old woman.

This deaf old woman usually advised Sha Zhu to stay away from her, and now she even wants to watch her son go to a juvenile detention center.

She saw through the deaf old lady's plan: to use the stick to get her into the juvenile detention center as leverage to sever ties between her family and the He family.

Thinking of this, a sense of regret welled up in her heart. How could she have fallen for Xu Damao's trick?

Now things are really messed up. Not only is Bang Geng going to juvenile detention, but Sha Zhu has also been implicated. What will happen to their family now?

"Grandpa, just tell me straight, how can you help me rescue the stick?"

Yi Zhonghai put his hand on Qin Huairu's shoulder and whispered.

"Huai Ru, don't you understand my feelings?"

Yi Zhonghai's actions made Qin Huairu feel extremely uncomfortable, and his wrinkled face made her feel disgusted.

But right now, Yi Zhonghai is the only one who can save Banggeng, and she can't gamble with her son's future.

After considering the pros and cons, Qin Huairu decided to pretend to agree to him first.

Just like how she tricked Xu Damao, she got the benefits first.

Once Bang Geng is rescued, she can back out; she's done this kind of thing before.

After thinking it through, Qin Huairu pursed her lips and said.

"Uncle, I understand what you mean."

"As long as you rescue the stick, I'll let you do whatever you want."

Yi Zhonghai's face lit up with surprise upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, and he reached out his hand to her.

"It's a deal?"

Qin Huairu put on an extremely troubled expression.

When Yi Zhonghai's face showed signs of anxiety, she slowly extended her hand to give him a high five as a gesture of goodwill.

"A word is settled!"

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

After Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard, she heard Jia Zhangshi scolding Xiao Dang and Huaihua from inside the house.

She quickly ran a few steps, pushed open the door and entered the room, where she saw Huaihua sitting on the bed, tears streaming down her face.

"Mom, why are you scolding Huaihua? She's so young."

Jia Zhangshi rebuked.

Shouldn't I have scolded her?

"At such a young age, she hasn't learned anything else, but she has learned to betray her brother and eat her own flesh."

"Your brother loved you so much, yet you betrayed him and caused him to be arrested."

"You both ate chicken, so why weren't you arrested by the police?"

Qin Huairu came to the bedside and hugged the locust flowers to her chest.

"Mom, you've gone too far! How can you talk to your own granddaughter like that?"

Jia Zhangshi pointed to the two children.

"Granddaughter, what use is this granddaughter to me?"

"Will they be able to take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die?"

"Even if we raise them, they'll still end up marrying off to someone else. They're just two money-losing brats!"

After finishing her tirade, Madam Jia's face hardened.

"Let's not talk about them anymore. How's my grandson? Why didn't you bring him back?"

Jia Zhangshi's words had just angered Qin Huairu, who retorted irritably.

"Do you think we own the police station?"

"If you're so capable, go to the police station and rescue Banggeng. What's the point of playing tricks on a child?"

Jia Zhangshi said.

"What would I need you for if I were useful?"

"Tell me, when are they going to release my grandson?"

Qin Huairu felt a pang of pain in her heart at the mention of the stick, she whispered.

"They said they would send him to a juvenile detention center for three months."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi immediately exploded.

"What, three months?"

"Is a juvenile detention center a place for humans?"

"In three months, my grandson's future will be ruined!"

"Qin Huairu, what are you still sitting here for? Hurry up and think of a way to save my grandson!"

Qin Huairu had practically begged and pleaded with everyone for the sake of the stick, and now, hearing Jia Zhangshi's words like this...

A nameless rage suddenly rose within her, and she straightened up and shouted at Jia Zhangshi.

"Now you're worried? Why weren't you ever worried when you were spoiling the kids?"

When Jia Zhangshi saw that Qin Huairu was truly angry, her tone immediately softened.

"Why are you still saying all this? The most important thing now is to save the stick."

"By the way, Yi Zhonghai, why don't you go find Yi Zhonghai? Isn't he familiar with the people at the police station?"

“And there’s He Yushui, that ingrate. Go find her. She’s the one who stood up and accused my grandson of stealing chickens. She has to get my grandson out.”

“If she doesn’t save me, I’ll make a scene at her workplace and at her boyfriend’s police station.”

"Her current boyfriend was introduced to her by our family, and now they've settled down."

Instead of bringing six gifts to express their gratitude, they sent my grandson to the police station because of a chicken.

"These two are a match made in heaven, a pair of ungrateful wretches!"

Qin Huairu was getting a headache from Jia Zhangshi's endless stream of insults.

"Alright, stop shouting so late at night. Aren't you embarrassed enough already?"

"I've already spoken to the old man about the stick, and he agreed to go plead with Director Wang tomorrow."

"If you can't handle this, then don't bother with it."

"If you can manage it, then go ahead and manage it; it won't bother you."

After saying that, Qin Huairu ignored Jia Zhangshi and took off her coat to coax Xiaodang and Huaihua to sleep.

As the night deepened, Qin Huairu, who had been tossing and turning all night, slowly fell asleep.

Jia Zhangshi quietly got out of bed, put on her clothes, ran to the outer room to get the things she had prepared beforehand, and then left the room.

P.S.: In the next chapter, we'll torture that old hag Jia Zhangshi! Please give me flowers and ratings!!!

Chapter 31 The Heart-wrenching Screams of Madam Jia

When Jia Zhangshi arrived at Xu Damao's house in the backyard, she laid out the things she had prepared in advance one by one.

She crossed her legs, sat down on the ground, and started crying.

"My son, come back quickly! Your son has been murdered."

"Bang Geng is going to suffer, please come and save him."

"Old Jia, you'd better come back soon, or our family will be doomed."

“They took Banggeng to the police station; they’re trying to harm our grandson.”

"Dongxu, your mother is useless. It's bad enough that we can't get enough to eat or wear on a regular basis, but now someone is going to cut off our family's path to a better life."

"You two, please come back! Come back! Take the bad guys away and save our family..."

In the backyard of the Liu family, the second aunt, who had finally fallen asleep, vaguely heard crying coming from the yard.

She slowly opened her eyes and listened carefully before realizing that there were indeed cries coming from outside, which made her feel uneasy.

With a knot in her heart, Aunt Erda dared not sleep any longer. She pushed Liu Haizhong, who was snoring loudly beside her.

"Old Liu, wake up! Wake up!"

Liu Haizhong is a level seven blacksmith, and he does manual labor.
