Siheyuan: Rebirth of Shazhu, Many Children and Blessings

"Shazhu, I really didn't mean it." Qin Huairu explained anxiously.

"At that time, my aunt kept asking me about Jingru's whereabouts, but I really couldn't answer.

She also said she was going to my house to wait for Jingru to come back, so I accidentally let it slip.

"Sister Qin, don't worry. I don't blame you." He Yuzhu pulled Qin Huairu to comfort her.

"The most urgent task now is to find out what happened after Jingru returned."

"You want me to go back again?"

"Yeah." He Yuzhu nodded, "Sister Qin, don't you want to go back?"

"No." Qin Huairu shook her head, "It's just that I just returned not long ago, so it's a bit difficult to explain."

"You mean the Jia family?"

"Yeah." Qin Huairu nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "Shazhu, you also know the situation of my family."

"It's just that there's no gain without pain." He Yuzhu sneered, "Just say that the chickens, ducks, geese and other things at home have grown up, and your parents are going to give them to you to eat, so they asked you to go home and get them.

I will prepare your things and pick you up at the station."

"Yes." Qin Huairu no longer had any worries, so she agreed to it.

On the day of rest, Qin Huairu took the bus back home.

As usual, she gave the prepared tickets and money to her parents.

"Mom, do you know what's going on with Jingru now?"

Qin Huairu did not rush to her house directly, but first asked her parents about the situation.

"There's nothing you don't know." Qin Huairu's mother told her everything she knew.

"I heard that Qin Jingru found a strange man in the city and didn't want to go home. After she came back a few days ago, she insisted on moving out.

Then her mother asked her if she had obtained a marriage certificate, and Qin Jingru said no.

Tell me, what kind of words are these?"

"Then what?" Qin Huairu asked.

"What else could happen? The mother and daughter had a big fight, and her mother directly called her shameless. The scolding was very ugly.

However, Qin Jingru always said that her life in the city was a thousand times better than in the countryside, and she was willing even if they didn't get a marriage certificate.

Finally, her mother was so angry that she locked her in the house and wouldn’t let her go out.”

Having said that, Qin Huairu's mother suddenly looked at her.

"Huai Ru, you don't know the man of Jing Ru, do you?"

"Mom, are you kidding me? How could I know Jingru's man?

Besides, I just heard you say this and I know about this."

"It's good that you don't know. I'm telling you, it's better for you not to get involved in this matter."

"That's not good..." Qin Huairu said, "Come to think of it, Jingru went to the city because of me."

"Oh, hey, please don't mention this." Qin Huairu's mother quickly stopped her.

"It would be so embarrassing if this matter were made public. If you take the blame on yourself like this, we might not even be relatives anymore."

"It's not that serious, right?" Qin Huairu's heart sank, and she felt that this trip back might not be smooth.

"How come it's not that serious? I've never heard of it. Can the root of the tongue crush someone to death?"

Qin Huairu was also a little anxious at this time, "No, Mom, I have to go check on Jingru's situation."

"Huai Ru, why are you doing this? It's no good for you to get involved in this matter. It will only make things more complicated." Qin Huai Ru's mother sighed, somewhat confused.

"After all, Jingru and I are of the same age. It would be good for me to go and persuade her. Who knows, maybe she will be willing to listen to me."

"What you said does make some sense." Qin Huairu's mother agreed with her.

"Then go ahead, but don't talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, Mom."

Qin Huairu went straight to Qin Jingru's house and knocked on the door.

"Huai Ru, why are you here?" Qin Jingru's mother came to open the door, with obvious fatigue on her face.

"Aunt, I just heard my mother talk about Jingru, so I wanted to come and see her."

Qin Huairu tried her best to make her voice sound calm.

Qin Jingru's mother was silent for a while, as if she was thinking about whether to let Qin Huairu enter the house.

But in the end she still moved aside to open the door and let Qin Huairu enter the house.

Qin Huairu walked into the house and found that the door to the inner room was locked. From time to time, she could hear Qin Jingru's voice.

"Mom, please let me out!"

When Qin Huairu heard Qin Jingru's call, she turned and looked at Qin Jingru's mother with a questioning and concerned look in her eyes.

"Aunt, Jingru..."

Qin Jingru's mother sighed, with a look of helplessness and pain on her face.

“Huai Ru, I don’t know how much you know, but Jing Ru has been thinking about moving to the city since she came back from the city last time.

I asked her where she planned to live but she didn't tell me. I asked her whether she and her boyfriend had got married but she didn't tell me either.

Later, I asked her if she had found a married man, and she remained silent.

Tell me, how could Jingru do such a shameful thing?

If I let her go out of this house, how will her father and I be able to hold our heads up high in the village in the future?"

Qin Huairu listened with mixed feelings.

She knew that Qin Jingru's mother did this out of love and concern for her daughter.

"Uncle, can I go in and talk to Jingru?" Qin Huairu asked softly.

Qin Jingru's mother hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, go and persuade her, maybe she will listen to you."

So Qin Huairu walked to the door of the inner room and waited for Qin Jingru's mother to open the door.

As a result, Qin Jingru seemed to notice that her mother was opening the door, so she stopped making a fuss.

As soon as Qin Jingru's mother opened the door, Qin Jingru rushed out instantly.

Qin Jingru's mother saw that Qin Jingru was still trying to run out, so she yelled, "Qin Jingru, stop right there!"

"Mom!" Qin Jingru looked back at her mother and called out helplessly.

"If you leave this door today, don't call me mom anymore."

"If you don't want to scream, then don't scream." Qin Jingru snorted coldly, "How can you be a mother like you? You locked up your own daughter for so many days!"

"Qin Jingru, how on earth did I raise a daughter like you!"

Qin Jingru's mother was somewhat helpless, "Do you have any sense of shame?"

"Mom." Qin Jingru argued, "What's the use of shame when you don't have enough to eat or warm clothes?

Aren't you just afraid that the villagers will gossip about you? Just let them gossip. Anyway, no matter what they say, it won't hurt me.

I still eat well, dress well, and live a very carefree life.

If you support me, I, as a daughter, can still show my filial piety to you and dad."
