At the beginning, he took his seven younger siblings to join Yi Zhonghai.

"Look at this, the whole compound has one show-off, one idiot, and one shrewd idiot. It's quite a lively place."

Madam Jia pointed to the door and said disdainfully.

"Mom, please say less. What do you think about what I discussed with you yesterday?"

"I think my master is right. He wouldn't harm us for no reason."

Jia Dongxu shook his head helplessly, then asked again.

Did the college student say anything?

After a long silence, Madam Jia asked again.

"You mean Zhongding? You should know him by now, he's been around for years. He never gets involved in the people and things in the institute."

Jia Dongxu shook his head and said.

"Old Yi couldn't come up with this, I reckon it was that college student who came up with it, go ask him."

"Take all these shoes with you and let them try them on to see if they fit. If they don't, bring them back and I'll alter them."

Jia Zhangshi glanced at him, then took out several pairs of cloth shoes of different sizes from beside her.

"What are you doing? You're just giving these shoes away like this?"

Jia Dongxu took the cloth shoes and asked with a pained expression.

"You're no better than that Yan Bugui. Stop nagging. I bought the cloth and thread with my own money; you didn't spend a penny of it."

Jia Zhangshi glared at him and said angrily.

"Why are you comparing me to Old Man Yan, who's so stingy?"

Jia Dongxu said with dissatisfaction.

Qin Huairu, who was breastfeeding Jia Dang, looked up at him upon hearing this.

On being stingy.

You're even stingier than him.

However, she dared not say it aloud.

She had no status in this family.

She wasn't the one who left Jia Zhangshi with no other options but to risk being criticized and denounced.

The infamous Widow Qin, who set up a funeral hall late at night.

"Stop talking nonsense. Take your wife, Banggeng'er, and Xiaodang with you. Lower your voice. We're poor, so we can't be tough. Humility is key."

Madam Jia rolled her eyes, got up angrily, and left the house.

Her footsteps were so heavy that the floor trembled.

"I can't bear to wear these shoes, and Yi Zhongding and the others don't need them, so they don't even look at them."

"Besides, what kind of knowledge could a little brat who hasn't even grown his first beard possibly have?"

Jia Dongxu still looked distressed.

"Why did my mother-in-law want me to go with you? Her last words to me were those."

"Come on, I'll do the bowing part. There's no need for you, Uncle Jia, to lose face, okay?"

Qin Huairu patted him and smiled charmingly.

Jia Dongxu thought about it for a moment and decided it was a good idea.

A short while later.

The two then appeared in the Yi family's courtyard.

"Master, mistress, uncle, these are shoes my mother-in-law made. They're not worth much. She said they were to thank you for giving us advice."

Qin Huairu placed the eight pairs of shoes she was holding on the table and said with a smile.

Her beautiful eyes were also secretly observing Yi Zhongding.

This person is really good-looking.

And it's really big.

It's the playground in the backyard of the Yi family.

Her dog, Bang Geng, always plays so much that he doesn't want to go home.

Unfortunately, her mother-in-law was always unwilling for her to bring her son to play.

Moreover, this man was different from the other men in the courtyard.

He never looked at her with any "evil" eyes.

Even if they bump into each other face to face, they will just exchange a polite greeting and leave.

If it were the other young people in the courtyard.

They wish they could glue their eyes to themselves.

Especially Xu Damao, he was really annoying, with a piercing gaze and a lewd smile on his face.

And that silly Zhu.

Don't think I won't know just because you're sneaking around.

"Look, why are you doing all this? Your family isn't having an easy time these days, why are you giving away so many shoes?"

"Listen to your master, take it back. Let him wear the parts of the stick that he can wear, and take the rest to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for some household expenses."

Yi Zhonghai was also a little happy when he saw the shoes.

But I don't want to owe the Jia family a favor.

So they pushed the shoes back.

So many years.

This is the first time I've received such a "huge" return gift from the Jia family.

"Oh dear, Master, this isn't for you and your wife. My mother-in-law said that the child runs around a lot and wears out the shoes."

"She made these herself; they're comfortable to wear, durable, and they don't cost much."

"This isn't for you; my mother-in-law gave it to my husband's younger brothers and sisters-in-law (mainly to get their advice)."

Qin Huairu pushed the shoes directly in front of Yi Zhongding.

"My brother is right. We don't lack shoes. We appreciate your kindness, but please take the shoes back. We're all family here, no need for formalities."

Yi Zhongding said with a smile.

"You can't take back a gift you've given away. I know you have plenty of shoes, but it's not the thought that counts, so you can't expect me to take it back."

Qin Huairu said with a gentle smile.

"Since it's such a kind gesture from you, sister-in-law, then accept it. Here, have some candy."

Seeing that the situation was appropriate, Tan Xiulian spoke up.

"Mom, I want to go to the amusement park."

Banggeng took the candy, held it in his hand, and turned to say something.

"You child, don't you have any manners? Say thank you to the housewife."

Qin Huairu's expression changed, and she said with a stern face.

"I want to go to the amusement park! Woohoo..."

The dog started crying and making a fuss without any regard for the situation.

"Master's wife, I'm so sorry, my mother-in-law has spoiled them rotten."

Qin Huairu said awkwardly.

"Hey, he's still young. You take him there. Zhonghua is playing with his younger siblings there too."

Tan Xiulian waved her hand, appearing indifferent.

But she already felt incredibly disgusted with it.

After all, they were used to eating the "delicacies" that Yi Zhongding's younger siblings enjoyed.

Who could stomach such "grass roots" as a stalk of a stalk?

Even when my own children, Zhongxin and Zhongyan, were only two or three years old, they weren't this ill-mannered.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu's beautiful eyes flickered, gleaming with an inexplicable light.

She thought that she couldn't handle Yi Zhongding, who was the eldest brother.

Surely I can handle these little kids like Yi Zhonghua?

He coaxed her with a few words.

Save some goodwill first.

In the future, we can use these little dolls to deepen our relationship with the Yi family.

And she noticed it too.

Yi Zhongding was different from the others in the institute; he was very capable and even got into university.

In the future, our family might need his help.

The mother-in-law once said that Yi Zhongding was a loyal and righteous person, and suggested that Jia Dongxu get to know him better.

However, Jia Dongxu simply couldn't bring himself to admit it.

This might be an opportunity.

In the past few years, she hadn't been very attentive to helping the Yi family take care of their children.

Now I'm genuinely starting to regret it.

Qin Huairu carried Xiao Dang and followed the already unbridled Bang Geng to the backyard.

"Dongxu, did your mother agree to change her household registration based on your wife's wishes?"

Yi Zhonghai then asked.

"She didn't say whether she agreed or disagreed. My mom said to ask my uncle's opinion again. She said my uncle is a college student and has knowledge."

Jia Dongxu wiped his face, suppressing his shame as he spoke.

He also harbored resentment towards Qin Huairu.

You were supposed to be the one to bow your head, weren't you?

Why did they just run away?
