Chapter 127 A Long-Awaited Reunion, Yi Qin's Night Talk

Qin Huairu originally thought that life would continue like this.

Although Madam Jia often nags, at least she now has her own son.

In addition, they could also get decent food from Yi Zhonghai from time to time, even without asking, by taking advantage of Yi Zhonghai's concern for his son.

Although he can't compare to Cao Wei, he's certainly not as good as the best, but he's better than the worst.

Apart from Cao Wei, the food at their house was no worse than any other family in the courtyard, and was even slightly better.

After all, it should be known that Jia Zhangshi was also very picky when it came to food.

With Yi Zhonghai's financial support, she was naturally willing to contribute more, after all, her beloved grandson Banggeng also needed to eat.

But things are different now. The grain ration system, along with the era of ration coupons, shattered her dreams.

If they don't continue, then her family will probably have to go back to eating corn noodles.

She knew very well that stuff; not only was it not very nutritious, but it could also cause constipation.

She simply couldn't accept the thought of her once fair and tender son becoming so thin and frail in the future.

After taking a deep breath, as night gradually fell, Qin Huairu once again used the excuse of going to the toilet to leave the house.

She even imitated a cat's meow, which was also a secret code between her and Yi Zhonghai.

Upon hearing the voice, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Good heavens, his Huairu is finally willing to meet him.

However, having not seen each other for several years, Yi Zhonghai knew very well that he had to thoroughly control the other party this time.

Otherwise, if the Jia family ever does well again, wouldn't I never run into them again?

So that night, Qin Huairu's voice was almost hoarse from shouting, but Yi Zhonghai still refused to meet her. This left Qin Huairu somewhat bewildered, but she quickly came to her senses.

How could Yi Zhonghai not harbor resentment after all my rejections over the past few years?

However, in Qin Huairu's opinion, why should someone as good-looking as herself pretend to be an old man?

But given the current situation, there is no other option.

If once doesn't work, then try twice. Yi Zhonghai was quite depressed on the second day, until the third day.

Yi Zhonghai finally couldn't hold back any longer and quietly approached the vicinity of the toilet.

At this moment, Qin Huairu was extremely excited, but she was still blaming the other party in her words.

"Master Yi, aren't you going to think of a solution? What if my son and I don't have our food rations? What will we do then? Will we starve to death or go back to the countryside?"

Faced with Qin Huairu's attempt to play the victim, Yi Zhonghai did not immediately respond. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and made a sarcastic remark.

"Oh ho, what does that have to do with me? After all, you're a member of the Jia family. I thought you'd forgotten me, or rather, I'd forgotten too. What does this joke have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu panicked. If Yi Zhonghai denied everything, how would the Jia family survive?

She couldn't even bear to imagine it, so she couldn't help but sob softly, habitually trying to elicit sympathy once again.

"Waaah, Master Yi, you can even forget that kind of thing? Fine, let us orphans and widows starve to death. I'll take your son back to Qin Family Village. You can't see how Jia Zhangshi has treated me these past few years, so I don't care."

Looking at the pitiful Qin Huairu, and then remembering her mention of taking her son back to the countryside.

Yi Zhonghai's upper body finally softened, while his lower body hardened.

He couldn't help but grab Qin Huairu's small hand and begin to comfort her.

"Huai Ru, I know you're suffering, but you've never explained it to me even once, and it makes me feel bad too."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had grabbed her small hand, seemingly indicating that they could talk, Qin Huairu only felt nauseous.

After all, Yi Zhonghai was no longer an old man; he had even fallen into a cesspool before. The thought of him grabbing her hand made her feel nauseous.

But the situation was beyond her control, so she could only feign shyness.

"Oh dear, Master Yi, you're so mean!"

For Yi Zhonghai, these words were like a feather gently brushing against his heart; the temptation was simply irresistible.

While inwardly cursing Qin Huairu as a little slut, he also immediately wanted to take off his pants.

Upon seeing this, Qin Huairu panicked completely. To be precise, she only wanted to use her sob story and the other party's son to blackmail him.

Before Qin Huairu could even open her mouth or find a reason to argue, Yi Zhonghai seemed to see right through her.

He spread his hands and stated it directly.

"Huai Ru, maybe I'm overthinking it."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai prepared to pull up his pants and leave without looking back.

Just kidding. Although Yi Zhonghai felt sorry for his grandson Banggeng, he also knew that he absolutely could not let Qin Huairu control him like this.

I can't even touch it, and it makes my heart ache.

On what grounds?

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's resolute appearance, Qin Huairu could only laugh to herself.

It seems we have no choice but to take this path.

So Qin Huairu grabbed Yi Zhonghai and, as if sighing, continued with a somewhat aggrieved tone.

"I mean, at first, I'm a little afraid of pain."

These words made Yi Zhonghai's lips curl into a sudden smile.

After turning around, there was—

After a fierce five-minute battle.

Yi Zhonghai, who was able to eat meat again, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Qin Huairu is truly getting more and more attractive with age. Before, she possessed the youthful charm of a young woman in her late teens, but now she exudes the allure of a mature woman, captivating him completely.

Qin Huairu, at this moment, no longer felt nauseous.

There was no other way. After being starved by Jia Dongxu for so long, she suddenly felt that Yi Zhonghai's 5 minutes was not so bad after all.

Next, she stroked the other person's chest and couldn't help but act coquettishly.

"Master Yi, do you still want me to take your son back to the countryside?"

"Hehe, how could I bear to part with that? Don't worry, I'll continue to provide the food."

"How much will you give me?"

After all, Qin Huairu knew very well that if she wanted to return to the life she had before, with the implementation of the food system, the amount she had been given before would definitely not be enough.

Yi Zhonghai, of course, understood this principle as well. He couldn't help but lift Qin Huairu's chin and said with a wicked smile.

"That depends on your performance."

These words infuriated Qin Huairu, making her want to curse, but there was nothing she could do.

And so, the two parted ways briefly.

Two days later, Yi Zhonghai, still with a smug and pretentious expression, delivered the grain.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's changed attitude, the Jia family members naturally wore insincere smiles and kept praising him for not giving them money. Only Qin Huairu knew that this so-called grain was obtained by exchanging her body.

As he sighed inwardly, Jia Dongxu seemed to think of his own current situation and couldn't help but mention it.

"Master, look how miserable my family is right now. Could you ask the other neighbors in the compound to help me out?"

These words made Yi Zhonghai's eyes light up.

After all, supporting the entire Jia family on his own was a huge burden, and even with Qin Huairu and his son there, he still found it hard to accept.

If these neighbors had helped, things would seem much better.

But he quickly calmed down and thought of Cao Wei.

He immediately dismissed the idea.

"Don't forget that little bastard. He'll definitely cause trouble again, and he probably won't succeed."

Yi Zhonghai's resigned tone also stirred up resentment among the Jia family members.

But Jia Dongxu suddenly spoke up at that moment.

"Master, things are different now. Now, Huai Ru and my mother are out of food rations, and we could really starve to death. Why don't you give it a try?"

After realizing this, Yi Zhonghai's insecure heart seemed to be injected with a strong boost.

Yes, things are different now. Without a share of grain, the Jia family could really starve to death. Under these circumstances, what excuse could the other side possibly find?

These beastly neighbors can't just sit idly by, can they?
