I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

"Hahaha, still going? Kind-hearted? Goodness, Qin Huairu, isn't it just that your husband at home is useless, so you come out to find someone to help you out? I'm just curious, if your husband is useless during the day, why don't you find someone to help you at night? It's only because my husband is pure, otherwise, hehe."

As soon as he said that, everyone in the courtyard covered their mouths and chuckled.

Jia Dongxu, with his head down, had a ferocious expression on his face. He stared intently at Zhou Weiguo out of the corner of his eye, but dared not utter a single word.

Zhou Weiguo glanced at his watch and said coldly, "Since your Jia family won't pay back the money, then this matter is simple. I'll go call the police right now."

In Yi Zhonghai's eyes, Qin Huairu was the main person in charge of his retirement care. How could Jia Dongxu possibly take care of someone? Qin Huairu was the only one who could take care of him. If the police were called, it would have a huge impact on Qin Huairu's future, which would be a huge problem.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai immediately became anxious.

He said anxiously, "For the country, for the country, please wait a moment, let me talk to Dongxu."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai walked up to Jia Dongxu and said earnestly:

"Dongxu, if Zhou Weiguo reports it to the police and your family can't pay back the money, Qin Huairu will likely go to jail. Have you thought about Banggeng? If Huairu really goes to jail, who will take care of Banggeng?"

Moreover, if things escalate to that point, the factory will definitely find out, and then how will they deal with you? No matter what, you are Qin Huairu's man, and you must take responsibility for this matter, otherwise it will definitely have a huge impact on your work at the factory.

Don't forget, Zhou Weiguo is also the head of the technical department. If he causes trouble at the factory, you might lose your job.

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu panicked and said in a flustered manner, "Master, I really don't have that much money. All I have in total is a little over 100."

Yi Zhonghai beckoned to Qin Huairu, who hurriedly ran over. "Huairu, given the current situation, Zhou Weiguo definitely won't give up until he gets the money. Tell me how much money you have left, and hand it all over."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu's face was full of grievance: "Uncle, I really..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yi Zhonghai raised his hand to stop him.

Yi Zhonghai stared at Qin Huairu and said sternly, "Huairu, this whole thing started because of you. Tell me how much money you have, understand what I mean?"

Qin Huairu felt uncomfortable under Yi Zhonghai's gaze, and then spoke with a wronged expression: "Uncle, I was just about to say something, but you interrupted me. I only have the 30 yuan that Zhuzi lent me last time, and a few small bills."

Yi Zhonghai gave Qin Huairu a deep look, then said, "Go get the money."

Then he turned to the older woman and said, "Cuilan, go and get 270 yuan."

Upon hearing this, the older woman was about to speak when Yi Zhonghai shook his head to stop her. She could only sigh helplessly and turn to go home.

As soon as Qin Huairu entered the house, she saw Jia Dongxu following behind her.

She said somewhat guiltily, "Dongxu, why are you following me? Hurry up and get the money, an old man is waiting."

Jia Dongxu looked at her with a half-smile: "Come on, I'll go with you to get the money first. My money is in my clothes, it's easy to get."

Qin Huairu lowered her head, her expression changing repeatedly.

Then he went to the bottom of the wardrobe and pulled out a box.

She rummaged around inside for a while before finally pulling out a small cloth bag.

Jia Dongxu snatched the cloth bag and opened it; inside were only 32 yuan.

He said with a gloomy face, "Qin Huairu, don't try anything funny with me, or I'll beat you to death! You're my wife, and you've done this kind of thing, and you've even had affairs with Zhou Weiguo and Shazhu. Zhou Weiguo was right when he said that Shazhu lent you so much money, I don't believe he didn't touch you! Now even if I beat you to death, people will say I did the right thing."

After saying that, Jia Dongxu turned and walked out, while Qin Huairu followed him out with a wronged look on her face.

After receiving the money from the two men, Yi Zhonghai carefully counted it. It was exactly four hundred yuan. Without saying anything more, he handed it directly to Zhou Weiguo.

Zhou Weiguo reached out and took the money, casually stuffing it into his pocket. Then, he handed the IOU to Yi Zhonghai, saying, "Old Yi, this IOU is for you. How you handle it is entirely up to you. The rest is none of my business." After saying that, he turned and went home without looking back.

Yi Zhonghai's expression turned somewhat unpleasant as he looked at Zhou Weiguo's indifferent demeanor.

Then, he turned to look at the neighbors and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, you don't need to rush to pay back this 270 yuan. I'm an old man and I don't need it right now. If you ever have any difficulties in the future, come to me. Don't bother Shazhu and Zhou Weiguo, understand?"

Qin Huairu's eyes reddened, and she nodded forcefully, her voice choked with emotion: "Thank you, sir. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back. But..." The words trailed off, turning into a sigh.

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, his eyes full of doubt: "Huai Ru, is there something else?"

Qin Huairu bit her lip, hesitating to speak: "Dongxu and I gave all our possessions to Zhuzi. But the hospital said Banggeng needs to be properly nourished. It's okay if I miss a few meals, but what if Banggeng doesn't get enough nutrition and doesn't recover well?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth inwardly.

He thought to himself: I just paid you 270, and now you want me to bleed again? But he didn't show it on his face.

He just shook his head helplessly: "Sigh, this is what worries me too. I had to get your aunt to take out all the money in the house to cover this hole. Don't do this kind of nonsense again."

After saying that, he turned and walked home.

The crowd dispersed as soon as the excitement died down.

Qin Huairu watched Yi Zhonghai's departing figure, shaking her head with a wry smile.

She knew that there was probably no hope of getting the old man to help supplement the corn's nutrition this time.

Then, she turned around and went back to the Jia family.

Jia Dongxu stood there, his eyes fixed on Sha Zhu's house, a deep hatred surging in his eyes.

At this moment, all he could think about was how to get revenge on Zhou Weiguo and He Yuzhu, how to rescue Jia Zhangshi, and ideally, how to get back all the money he had lost.

Even if it really doesn't work, as long as those two people suffer, that's fine too.

"Bad luck?" Jia Dongxu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a brilliant idea, and he hurried home.

Back home, Qin Huairu glanced at Bang Geng, who was still fast asleep, and tiptoed around without disturbing him.

Just as they were about to cook, Jia Dongxu returned with a beaming smile.

He locked the front door as soon as he entered, went straight into the inner room, and closed the door behind him.

This unusual behavior left Qin Huairu completely baffled.

She wondered to herself: Was Dongxu going to take a nap? Driven by curiosity, she quietly walked to the door of the inner room.

Through the crack in the door, one could see Jia Dongxu hunched over the table, seemingly writing something.

Qin Huairu quietly peeked into the inner room, and the door creaked open.

Upon hearing the noise, Jia Dongxu, like a startled bird, quickly hid the paper in his hand.

This action made Qin Huairu's heart sink; Jia Dongxu clearly no longer trusted her.

But what caught her attention even more were the three words on the paper she had just glimpsed: "Letter of Complaint." She couldn't help but wonder: Who was Dongxu going to report?
