Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person
Chapter 50 A Woman's Reliance
"Labangtao" usually occurs when the head of the household has encountered an accident—whether it's illness, disability, or even death. This situation arises when the entire family can no longer make ends meet.
But what about Jia Dongxu?
He has good hands and feet, and a proper job.
In this way, they indirectly recruited Sha Zhu to help them.
This only shows one thing: Jia Dongxu lacks ambition.
What good can come of following a man like that?
In Yu Li's opinion, a man like Jia Dongxu shouldn't get married.
"Sister-in-law, you're still young. You can find someone else after leaving the Jia family. But if you wait a few more years, you'll be old and faded, and you'll be tied down to the Jia family for life!"
Yu Li didn't think there was anything wrong with advising Qin Huairu to get a divorce.
As a woman and a neighbor, even without her own ulterior motives, she felt that Qin Huairu should divorce Jia Dongxu.
Jia Zhangshi, as the mother-in-law, was extremely harsh on Qin Huairu.
As for Jia Dongxu, he prefers to ignore it rather than see it, and even if he does see it, he pretends not to.
As for the children?
Yu Li thought that children who had the blood of the Jia family should be of the same lineage as the Jia family in their bones.
A child like that is better off not having!
"Yu Li, stop talking, I can't get a divorce!"
Qin Huairu sighed, "I've cut off all contact with my family. Without the Jia family, I don't even have a place to live!"
"I still have a rural household registration!"
"If I leave the Jia family, the neighborhood committee will definitely force me back to the village!"
"I haven't worked in the fields for over ten years. What can I do if I go back to the village?"
"My family definitely wouldn't want to take me in; they might even marry me off to some old man who's already dead to get money!"
After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she looked up and glanced at Yu Li.
Yu Li also fell silent.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that she had oversimplified things.
On the surface, she is different from Qin Huairu; she has an urban household registration.
However, if she had gone straight home after divorcing Yan Jiecheng without a job, she would have been looked down upon.
She followed Shen Zhishou so readily, wasn't that because she didn't consider this point?
This world is too harsh on women!
"Sister-in-law, it was my oversight. Please pretend I didn't say anything!"
Yu Li ended the conversation.
……
When Shen Zhishou returned home, he noticed that Yu Li seemed a little down.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Zhishou waved the piece of pork he was carrying, "I was just thinking we'd have meat for dinner tonight!"
Yu Li saw the pork that Shen Zhishou was carrying and couldn't muster any interest.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Shen Zhishou put the meat in the kitchen, then turned around and hugged Yu Li.
"Honey, why don't you come back to your parents' house with me this day off?"
"Okay!"
Shen Zhishou did not hesitate.
In the storyline, there is no introduction to Yu Li's family background. All that is known is that she has a younger sister named Yu Haitang, who is the most beautiful girl in the steel mill and a positive role model.
He's just not very bright!
In Shen Zhishou's opinion, people who can be fooled by Xu Damao are not very smart.
Of course, this also shows that the Yu family's family background must be average.
After all, Xu Damao's methods for wooing girls are simply eating out, buying them clothes, and saying nice things.
If the Yu family were well-off, Yu Haitang wouldn't have been so easily fooled by Xu Damao, especially since Xu Damao was a divorced man!
"Why did you suddenly decide to take me back to your parents' home?"
Shen Zhishou was genuinely curious.
Something must have happened during the day.
Yu Li thought for a moment, then told Shen Zhishou about her conversation with Qin Huairu. A little nervously, she said, "You're so good to me, I'm afraid that one day you'll treat me badly, and I..."
"Silly wife, what are you doing...?"
Shen Zhishou found out what had happened, but didn't know how to respond. "Wife, I swear to you, this oath can be taken back."
"There's a long road ahead, so nothing we say now will make a difference. If you want to maintain contact with your family, then go ahead, I have no objection!"
Shen Zhishou didn't see anything wrong with Yu Li's idea of leaving herself a way out.
That's enough that she can be honest with him!
As for relying on one's maternal family?
Relying on others is unreliable, relying on mountains is unreliable!
Shen Zhishou felt that it would be more reliable to help Yu Li find a formal job.
Having a job made her feel at ease.
Unlike Qin Huairu, she wouldn't be forced to rely on the Jia family.
"Honey, don't worry, I won't be a fool to help my family. I... oh dear, I'm not going to say anything more. I must have lost my mind!"
"I'll go stew the meat!"
Yu Li broke free from Shen Zhishou's embrace and ran to the kitchen.
Shen Zhishou didn't go to the kitchen to help. Instead, he strolled over to the central courtyard, intending to have a chat with Sha Zhu.
Finding a job for Yu Li is not an easy task.
Shen Zhishou is preparing to follow in Li Huaide's footsteps.
After all, it's said that although Lao Li has issues with his lifestyle, he's actually quite capable when it comes to getting things done, as long as the benefits are right.
Coincidentally, Shen Zhishou is not short of money now.
Sun Hu and his gang helped Shen Zhishou accumulate a considerable amount of wealth.
Thinking of Sun Hu, Shen Zhishou was quite puzzled. So many people had disappeared, yet there hadn't been any commotion. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
When they arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, Sha Zhu still hadn't returned.
Qin Huairu was still washing clothes.
On her back, she was carrying Xiao Dang.
As for Jia Dongxu, he was acting as if he were blind, chatting with Yi Zhonghai.
At this moment, Shen Zhishou somewhat understood why Yu Li thought Qin Huairu should divorce Jia Dongxu. This Jia Dongxu really was a scoundrel.
But Shen Zhishou didn't say anything.
If Qin Huairu doesn't want to change, no one can help her.
Although Shen Zhishou was willing to help others, the prerequisite was that the person knew how to save themselves.
This is a matter of attitude!
Of course, if Shen Zhishou was simply lusting after Qin Huairu's body, he could have easily gone over and struck up a conversation, said a few good words for Qin Huairu, and given Jia Dongxu some pointers.
However, Shen Zhishou always felt that this would be a problem.
The Jia family is not just the Jia family.
Yi Zhonghai stood behind the Jia family!
Behind Yi Zhonghai was a deaf old lady.
"Xiao Shen!"
Shen Zhishou had no intention of chatting with Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, but Yi Zhonghai called out to him.
"Master Yi, is something the matter?"
Shen Zhishou glanced at Yi Zhonghai, but did not go over; instead, he stopped in his tracks.
"I have a question for you."
Yi Zhonghai had a big smile on his face.
Shen Zhishou walked over, also with a smile, and said, "Master Yi, what's the matter? Please tell me!"
"I heard your wife asked Qin Huairu to help her make a cotton coat today. I just wanted to ask, where did you get those cotton ration coupons?"
"Uh, it was an older brother of mine who helped out!"
The black market is a place many people frequent, but it's forbidden to talk about it.
This is a matter of unspoken rules!
"Xiao Shen, could you get me some too?"
Jia Dongxu smiled ingratiatingly, "My dog Banggeng has grown quite a bit this year; his padded coat and pants are too short. Don't worry, I won't let you help him for nothing!"
