Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's explanation, the three Qin brothers fell silent, and Huairu's mother burst into tears.

As for the younger generation like Qin Dashan and Qin Jingru, they didn't dare to speak.

There is a consensus in their family that when their grandfather was still alive, small matters could be discussed, but big matters were decided by their grandfather. After their grandfather passed away, the family still operates on the same principle: small matters can be discussed, but big matters are mainly decided by the eldest son, Qin Changshun. The eldest brother's role as father is not just a saying.

After a long while, Qin Changshun sighed deeply and said:

"Huai Ru, your father is incompetent and has made you suffer a lot since you were little. We can understand that you don't want to farm in the countryside for the rest of your life. We can also understand that you want to be envied by others."

At this point, Qin Changshun spoke coldly: "But you shouldn't have done so many disgraceful things, going door to door with a huge bowl the size of a washbasin asking for meat. You're a married woman, yet you've been having an affair with another man. And don't deny what happened at the factory. A couple of days ago, I had Dashan secretly come to your compound and find out all about it."

"You've done something so shameful, our Qin family can't afford to lose face like this. Anyway, you haven't wanted to come back to Qin Family Village all these years, and you've long forgotten about me and your mother. So don't come back in the future."

After saying this, Qin Changshun deflated like a punctured balloon, his spirits completely gone.

The second brother, Qin Changyi, tugged at Qin Changshun's arm and advised, "Big brother, don't be impulsive."

Qin Changyao added, "Brother, only we know about this right now; it hasn't spread throughout Qin Family Village yet. Why don't we give Huai Ru another chance? I believe she will realize her mistake this time and definitely change."

"Waaaaah."

When Huairu's mother heard that she was to sever ties with Huairu, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

Upon seeing this, Qin Jingru quickly went to her aunt's side, grasped her calloused hands, and gently patted her back with her other hand, hoping that her aunt would not be so sad.

Seeing this, Wang Feng shook his head inwardly. He hadn't expected it to be this serious.

Actually, it's quite normal when you think about it. This isn't in the future. In this era, family education and family traditions are very strict. The power of gossip is no joke. If Qin Huairu's affairs were to spread back to Qin Family Village or to the next village, how would her parents dare to go out and face people?

When people see her parents, they ask, "How much meat did your daughter get today?" or "How much money did she borrow from which man?" or "What am I doing with her in a messy relationship with some man?" How can her parents bear it?

In the rural areas of this era, reputation is of utmost importance. If this matter were to spread, Qin Huairu's parents would not be able to bear the ridicule and sarcasm from others, or the gossip about their family behind their backs. Her parents might commit suicide, or leave Qin Family Village to live in another place.

When Qin Huairu heard her father tell her not to return to Qin Family Village, her mind went blank. After a long while, she collapsed to the ground, completely powerless, as if she had lost her soul.

"Waaaaah, waaaah, Dad, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I'll never do it again, please, please forgive me this time! Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, please, please, please plead with Dad for me, I'm begging you!"

Qin Huairu came to her senses, knelt down beside her mother, grabbed her mother's trouser leg tightly, and cried hysterically as tears streamed down her face.

Seeing her daughter crying so bitterly, Huai Ru's mother choked out, "Old Qin..."

But before she could finish speaking, Qin Changshun raised his hand to interrupt her.

"I've made up my mind, none of you are allowed to plead for me."

As he spoke, Qin Changshun looked coldly at Huai Ru's mother and said in a deep voice, "This rebellious daughter has never returned to Qin Family Village to see us all these years. In her heart, we are no longer here. Now she has done so many things to disgrace my Qin family. If you still dare to plead for her, you can get out of Qin Family Village."

"Da Shun, Da Shan, Da Wei, throw Qin Huairu, that disobedient and unfilial daughter, out of here!"

"Yes, Uncle."

The three of them knew that their uncle was serious this time, so they dared not disobey. Each of them grabbed one of Qin Huairu's arms and dragged her out of the room, slamming the door shut behind them.

"No……!"

Qin Huairu pounded on the door, screamed hysterically, and cried her heart out, tears of despair streaming down her face.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah."

Huai Ru's mother covered her mouth, trying to hold back her sobs, but her body kept trembling and tears kept falling. If Qin Jingru hadn't been supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

Qin Jingru's second aunt and her mother also had red eyes. They both knew the personality of the eldest son of the Qin family. He didn't usually talk much, but once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.

By this time, quite a few people had come to the Intermediate Court to watch the commotion. How could they not have heard such a big commotion at Wang Feng's house?

Yi Zhonghai stood at his door, watching Qin Huairu being kicked out and crying her heart out, and he revealed a sinister smile.

Sha Zhu was just a spectator the whole time. He saw everything, from Qin Huairu's family beating up Jia Zhangshi to Qin Huairu being kicked out.

Seeing Qin Huairu crying so sadly and desperately, a complex expression appeared on his face.

Since his surgery, he has lost his infatuation with Qin Huairu, but he also doesn't harbor much resentment towards her.

It was all his own fault. He had been lusting after Qin Huairu's body before, and everything he did was voluntary. Now he treats Qin Huairu like a stranger.

Qin Huairu is now being kicked out of the house by her parents and is crying so desperately, which is largely due to him.

A while ago, when Qin Jingru's parents came to the courtyard, they had just finished dinner. Her father, He Daqing, saw Wang Feng taking Qin Jingru's parents to the backyard, so he followed them.

After Wang Feng left, his father, He Daqing, specifically sought out Qin Jingru's parents and told them a lot about Qin Huairu. This was something his father told him later.

Qin Huairu borrowed more than 500 yuan from him and hasn't paid it back yet. He had been bringing Qin Huairu lunchboxes for several years before, and in the end, he was caught by the security department for trying to bring meat for Banggeng to please Qin Huairu. He was eventually fired from the factory and had to pay 1,000 yuan in compensation.

He Daqing always believed that the main reason he had become so miserable was not Xu Damao or Yi Zhonghai, but Qin Huairu. It was Qin Huairu who caused his He family line to end. Now that he had a chance to take revenge on Qin Huairu, how could he possibly miss it?
