When Yan Bugui saw Zhao the matchmaker enter the courtyard, his gossip-loving nature immediately ignited: "Sister Zhao, whose child are you arranging a marriage for?"
Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also looked at Zhao the matchmaker with great curiosity.
Matchmaker Zhao didn't hide it, after all, it couldn't be kept secret: "I'm here this time to find a partner for Qin Huairu from the Intermediate People's Court!"
Hearing what Zhao the matchmaker said, the three old men were dumbfounded.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui glanced at Yi Zhonghai and remained silent.
Yi Zhonghai quickly retorted, "Who told you to introduce Qin Huairu to someone? This is just ridiculous!"
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Zhao the matchmaker was displeased: "Qin Huairu's mother-in-law is crazy now. Her son has been in jail for eight years, and her two daughters will probably be married off in a few years. If she doesn't remarry, she'll just stay at home, frowning and waiting to die every day!"
"The man was generous enough to let her remarry with her mother-in-law, because he valued Qin Huairu's filial piety."
This time, Yi Zhonghai had nothing to say.
He couldn't possibly let Qin Huairu remarry and bring him, an old man, along, with her, could he?
That's absolutely impossible!
Bringing your mother-in-law along is a sign of filial piety from a daughter-in-law, but bringing along an unrelated old man is a sign of mental illness!
After saying that, Zhao the matchmaker ignored the three old men and went straight into the Jia family's house.
As Zhao, the matchmaker, entered the Jia family home, Yi Zhonghai paced anxiously outside, wondering what they were saying.
But I was too ashamed to go in.
More than an hour later, Zhao, the matchmaker, finally emerged from the Jia family home with a big smile on her face.
As soon as Matchmaker Zhao left, Yi Zhonghai hurried to the Jia family.
Seeing Qin Huairu sitting in the room, Yi Zhonghai asked urgently, "Huairu, I heard you're going to remarry?"
“Uncle, I have no hope of staying in this house anymore! My mother-in-law has gone mad, Bang Geng is in jail, my daughter-in-law has run away, and my two daughters will be married off in a couple of years. What am I still doing here? I should live for myself for the next two years. These past few years have been too tiring!” Qin Huairu sighed and looked at Yi Zhonghai with a desolate tone. “The man doesn’t mind that I have a mentally ill mother-in-law. He even promised to give a hundred yuan as a bride price and promised to help Bang Geng find a wife and have children after he gets out. I have no reason to refuse!”
Qin Huairu had gone this far, and Yi Zhonghai couldn't find a reason to refute her, so he could only leave helplessly.
Chapter 571, Qin Huairu Remarries, Xiao Shan Heads to Hong Kong! (Please Subscribe!)
Soon, the news that Qin Huairu was going to remarry spread throughout the entire courtyard.
At Xiao Shan's house, Ding Qiunan, who was looking through medical books, said to Xiao Shan with some emotion, "Qin Huairu has had a tough time all these years!"
"It wasn't easy!" Xiao Shan nodded and said, "But it was her own choice, so she can't blame anyone else!"
Ding Qiunan agreed with Xiao Shan's words: "But what will happen to Xiao Dang and Huaihua if she remarries with Jia Zhangshi?"
“Xiao Dang is already working at the textile factory. Although it’s just a temporary job, she can support herself!” Xiao Shan said after thinking for a moment. “As for Huaihua, she graduated from high school this year. I guess she’ll be working at the textile factory too! Maybe Xiao Dang and Huaihua will be more comfortable at home after Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu leave!”
Ding Qiunan changed the subject: "By the way, when are you leaving Hong Kong? How long will you be staying?"
"Let's go next week!" Xiao Shan said after thinking for a moment. "If it weren't for the difficulty in obtaining travel permits, I would really like to take you all to Hong Kong with me!"
Ding Qiunan said with a smile, "Yan Yan still needs to study, and Jing Shu is so young, what are you taking us for!"
Xiao Shan didn't say anything more.
Because Ding Qiunan's words also make sense. The child is still young, and taking him to Hong Kong may not be a good thing for them.
Ideally, they should finish junior high school in Beijing, and then we could take them to Hong Kong for high school and university.
This way, they can be less affected by negative influences when they study in Hong Kong.
That evening, Xiao Shan came and knocked on the Jia family's door.
Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, Huaihua, and Jia Zhangshi were having a meal.
Qin Huairu opened the door and saw Xiao Shan standing there. She asked curiously, "Xiao Shan, what brings you here? Come in, come in and sit down!"
After Xiao Shan went inside and sat down on a stool, he said to Qin Huairu, "Sister-in-law, I heard you're going to remarry?"
"Well... it's not confirmed yet!" Qin Huairu said somewhat embarrassedly. "By the way, is there something you need?"
Xiao Dang and Huaihua just sat there without saying a word; they had also heard about her mother's remarriage.
They neither agreed nor disagreed with this matter, because it had no impact on either of them.
Xiao Shan nodded and said, "There is indeed something I need to discuss with you."
"Discuss this with me?" Qin Huairu looked at Xiao Shan with some suspicion. "What is it?"
Xiao Shan slowly said, "It's like this, aren't you going to remarry with Aunt Jia? Then are you going to sell this house? I'll buy it at a high price!"
This time, Xiao Dang and Huaihua were in a hurry.
Before Qin Huairu could speak, Xiao Dang quickly said, "Mom, Huaihua and I still need to stay here!"
Seeing Xiao Dang's anxiety, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "This is easy to discuss. Xiao Dang and Huaihua can continue to live here until they get married and move out! I'll contribute 1,000 yuan for these two houses plus the two earthquake shelters outside. Sister-in-law, please consider it. If you agree, please contact me before next week. After next week, I may have to go out of town on business."
Xiao Shan glanced at Xiao Dang and Huaihua and continued, "With this thousand yuan, you can prepare a generous dowry for your two daughters without having to worry about the groom's family. Besides, with a financial foundation, you'll have more confidence to speak up at home after you remarry."
A thousand yuan is definitely a high price these days.
Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "Xiaoshan, I plan to leave this house to Banggeng. Banggeng needs a place to live after he leaves home! If he doesn't have a house, he can forget about getting married and having children in the future!"
Xiao Shan didn't press the issue. He looked at the house and said, "Alright, I respect your opinion, sister-in-law. But you also need to consider this: if no one lives in this house, it will quickly fall into disrepair!"
After saying this, Xiao Shan got up and left the Jia family.
Xiao Shan wanted to buy the Jia family's house because he wanted to get some property for his children in Beijing.
As soon as Xiao Shan left, Xiao Dang and Huaihua immediately stepped forward to persuade Qin Huairu to sell the house.
Whether or not a woman brings a dowry makes a difference to her status in her husband's family!
Without a dowry, one lacks confidence in speaking.
Looking at her two daughters, Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Xiaodang, Huaihua, your eldest brother is already over thirty! If he doesn't even have a place to live, what kind of talk is that? Needless to say, the house must be reserved for Banggeng."
"Besides, this is the Jia family's house, and it should be kept for the Jia family. I can't let down your deceased father."
Hearing that Qin Huairu had even brought up Jia Dongxu, Xiao Dang and Huaihua naturally couldn't say anything.
A few days later, Qin Huairu got married in a low-key manner.
She married a section-level cadre in a factory in another district of Beijing.
This man had no children; his wife died of illness, and he still had his mother at home.
The reason she was willing to marry Qin Huairu was because she valued Qin Huairu's filial piety!
I hope to find someone who is willing to take good care of my mother!
Jia Zhangshi left with Qin Huairu, and Xiao Dang and Huaihua moved into the main house of the Jia family.
With the Jia family gone, the courtyard became much quieter.
Yi Zhonghai is now more silent than before. He rarely speaks and even cooks his own meals.
He Yuzhu still remembers what the old lady said!
If the Jia family treats Yi Zhonghai badly, let him provide a meal.
Things changed too quickly; now the Jia family only has two daughters left.
However, Yi Zhonghai is rich and can cook for himself, so he won't suffer any losses.
So He Yuzhu didn't bother to care.
He still has a wife and children to take care of!
A few days later, Xiao Shan brought his mother-in-law, Feng Chunlian, to his home so that she could keep Ding Qiunan company.
He also instructed He Yuzhu and Xu Damao to help take care of his wife and children.
Of course, Xiao Shan also made sure to give each of his wife and children a jade pendant to wear close to their bodies.
In case they encounter any trouble, I can know immediately and rush over!
After arranging everything, Xiao Shan took the train to Guangzhou with his travel permit!
After arriving in Guangzhou, take a boat to Hong Kong.
Because Xiaoshan had a pass, the journey went smoothly.
After learning of Xiao Shan's arrival time in Hong Kong, Lou Bancheng had already sent people to wait for him at the port.
So as soon as Xiao Shan got off the ship, he encountered the people Lou Bancheng had sent to pick him up: "Xiao Shan, over here!"
Looking at Lou Xiao'e who was greeting him, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Sister Xiao'e, why did Uncle Lou send you to pick me up personally? You could have just sent someone else!"
"What? Are you unhappy to see your sister?" Lou Xiao'e glared at Xiao Shan and said.
Xiao Shan quickly replied, "No, no, what I mean is, how could I trouble Sister Xiao'e to come and pick me up?"
"Xiao Shan, it's been so many years, and you're still as talkative as ever!" Lou Xiao'e said to Xiao Shan with a smile. "Let's go, my car is parked outside!"

After leaving the port, Lou Xiao'e drove Xiao Shan towards the Lou family home.
Along the way, Lou Xiao'e asked many questions about things in the courtyard.
Xiaoshan responded to each of them.
Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness upon learning that an older woman had also passed away.
Upon arriving at the Lou family's residence, Lou Bancheng warmly welcomed Xiao Shan.
During the meal, Lou Bancheng asked Xiao Shan with some curiosity what kind of business he planned to do in Hong Kong this time.
Upon hearing Lou Bancheng's question, Lou Xiao'e also looked at Xiao Shan with a face full of curiosity.
Seeing the curious father and daughter, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "I have quite a few businesses I want to get into! But I plan to acquire a newspaper company first to play around with!"
Lou Bancheng and Lou Xiao'e were both stunned to hear that Xiaoshan was planning to acquire the newspaper.
"Xiao Shan, the newspaper market in Hong Kong is basically saturated now. If you want to get involved, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult!" Lou Bancheng said to Xiao Shan with some concern.
Lou Xiao'e chimed in, "Yes, Xiaoshan, if you want to enter the media industry, starting with a TV station is better than starting with a newspaper!"
It must be said that Lou Xiao'e has a very keen eye; she immediately saw Xiao Shan's intention to enter the media industry.
Seeing that Lou Bancheng and Lou Xiao'e were not optimistic about his plan, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Uncle, Sister Xiao'e, you don't need to worry. Since I have this idea, I must have had a complete plan beforehand!"
Seeing Xiao Shan's determined look, Lou Bancheng and Lou Xiao'e could only exchange a helpless glance.
"So, is there anything we can help you with?" Lou Bancheng asked Xiao Shan.
Xiao Shan nodded: "Uncle Lou, could you please help me find out if there are any newspapers for sale that have a good reputation, preferably those with their own printing plant!"
"Okay, wait for my news!" Lou Bancheng said without hesitation.
Xiao Shan then looked at Lou Xiao'e: "Sister Xiao'e, are you free tomorrow?"
"Yes!" Lou Xiao'e nodded.
Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Then could you come with me to look at houses tomorrow, and take me to register a company while you're at it!"
"Of course, no problem!" Lou Xiao'e nodded. "As for houses, I remember there are quite a few for sale around here. Would you like me to take you to see them?"
"of course can!"
The next day, Lou Xiao'e took Xiao Shan for a walk around the neighborhood.
Xiao Shan directly bought a pretty good house.
For now, we just need to find a place to stay. Once we bring my wife and children over, we can move to a better place.
Seeing Xiao Shan so generously buy a house outright, the saleswoman at the sales office practically drooled over him.
As they left the sales office, Lou Xiao'e teased, "Xiao Shan, those girls just now practically wanted to pounce on you and devour you. You'd better be careful when you go out in the future!"
"Okay, from now on I'll bring more bodyguards when I go out, and I'll keep myself completely covered!" Xiao Shan said with a smile.
With Lou Xiao'e's help, the company registration was completed very quickly.
After leaving the Industry and Commerce Bureau, Lou Xiao'e looked at the documents in her hand and said to Xiao Shan, "Taishan Group? Xiao Shan, your company name is really grand!"
"Absolutely! I'm determined to turn Taishan Group into a top-tier global enterprise!"
Hearing Xiao Shan say that, Lou Xiao'e laughed and said, "Then I'll be waiting for that day! When I come to you for a meal, you can't turn me away!"
