Siheyuan: I can change size at will

The Jia family's mood at this moment was as if shrouded in dark clouds, full of gloom and sadness.

Qin Huairu held Xiaodang in her arms, while Jia Zhang held Banggeng tightly. The four of them sat in front of Jia Dongxu's mourning hall, silent and anxious.

The candlelight in the mourning hall flickered, illuminating their contemplative faces, and it seemed as if even the air was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

Jia Zhang was the first to break the silence. She sighed and said with emotion, "Fortunately, we got to the deaf old lady's house before.

If the steel mill wants to take back the building of our Intermediate Court, then let it do so. I don’t want it.

From then on, our family of four moved into the deaf old lady's house. "

Although her voice was trembling, her tone revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Qin Huairu's heart tightened when he heard this.

She looked up at Jia Zhang and said worriedly, "Mom, how are we going to live in the future?"

There was worry and uneasiness in her voice.

Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her triangular eyes: "How are we going to live? Of course you have to go out to work to support us.

Go out and find a job tomorrow, even a part-time job is fine, just find me a class and send the salary home every month."

There was an unquestionable command in her tone.

Qin Huairu's heart trembled after hearing this, and she said hesitantly: "This...Mom, it's hard to find a job now.

Look, Yan Jiefang has been looking for a job for a year and still hasn’t found one, not even a temporary job.” Her voice was filled with helplessness and pain.

Jia Zhang was unmoved. She snorted coldly and accused, "Why? You have to go find it even if you can't find it! If you don't go out to work, do you want me, your mother-in-law, to go out to work? Do you want to tire me to death?"

Her voice was sharp and piercing, which frightened Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu quickly explained, "Mom, that's not what I meant." There was a hint of trembling and grievance in her voice.

However, Jia Zhang didn't believe her. She snorted coldly and continued, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to wear me out and then take over this family completely.

I tell you, this is impossible. Also, don't even think about remarrying. If you dare to get in touch with any man, I'll report you to the police station for having an affair." Her words were full of threats and warnings.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu felt aggrieved and helpless. She really didn't have so many thoughts. She just wanted to contribute to the family.

However, in front of Jia Zhang, she felt powerless to refute or defend herself.

At this time, Sha Zhu was so excited that he couldn't sit still in the house.

After hearing the conversation between Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi, he was secretly delighted.

He thought: "That's good now. Jia Dongxu is dead. Qin Huairu is a widow now. I can be with her openly."

Sha Zhu has always had a special feeling for Qin Huairu.

He liked girls from the city, preferably teachers and doctors, the kind that were educated and well-mannered. But every time he went on a blind date, the girls he liked didn't like him, and the girls who liked him, he didn't like them.

So Sha Zhu wasted half a year and went on countless blind dates, but failed to find a partner.

At this time, when he saw that Qin Huairu had become a widow, he felt a little hope in his heart.

He was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard, and when he saw Qin Huairu coming out to use the restroom, he immediately chased after her. He shouted, "Sister Qin, Sister Qin..."

Qin Huairu looked behind him carefully and found that Jia Zhang was not behind him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned to look at Sha Zhu, frowned and said, "What are you doing? You scared me. Don't hang around me anymore. My mother-in-law has been keeping a close eye on me lately." There was a hint of dissatisfaction and warning in her voice.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu with a gentle smile on his face, and said softly: "Sister Qin, now you are single again, we are together, who can say anything to us?

Life must go on, and we can live better if we support each other."

Qin Huairu was slightly moved when he heard this, but then he shook his head and said softly: "Go away, Zhuzi, don't think about it.

You know my current situation, and I have two children. How can I be a burden to you?"

Seeing this, Sha Zhu patted his chest hurriedly and said firmly: "Sister Qin, look at what you said.

What's wrong with two children? I'll take them and raise them as my own.

Although I, Shazhu, don’t have much money, it’s more than enough to support you three.”

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu's serious eyes and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

To be honest, she was indeed a little moved.

Jia Dongxu's death left the family without its pillar, and she had no idea how she would live in the future.

If I marry Sha Zhu, maybe I can really find a way out.

However, at this moment, Jia Zhang's voice suddenly came, breaking the silence: "What are you two doing?"

Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu were both startled and turned around to see Jia Zhang standing behind them, looking furious. She had obviously seen what had happened between the two of them, and her face was terribly gloomy.

"Aunt Zhang, you misunderstood." Sha Zhu hurriedly explained, "We didn't do anything, we were just chatting casually."

But Jia Zhangshi didn't listen to his explanation at all. She rushed forward, grabbed Qin Huairu, and dragged her back home. As soon as she entered the house, in front of Jia Dongxu's portrait, Jia Zhangshi slapped Qin Huairu's face hard.

"Ouch, Mom, stop hitting me."

Qin Huairu covered her face and begged for mercy. Tears welled up in her eyes, but they never fell.

She knew that crying at this time would only make Jia Zhang even angrier.

Jia Zhang glared at her and said viciously, "This slap is a warning to you. If you dare to continue to hook up with Sha Zhu, I will beat you to death on behalf of Dong Xu. Although our Jia family has fallen, we are not something that can be bullied by just anyone."

Qin Huairu took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and then said softly: "Mom, you misunderstood. I actually have nothing to do with Sha Zhu. I just think that our current situation is very difficult and we need someone to help. And Sha Zhu... he is willing to help us."

Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Qin Huairu to say that. She looked at Qin Huairu's determined eyes, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

She knew that Qin Huairu was telling the truth, but as a mother, she could not accept that her daughter-in-law had any relationship with another man.

However, she also understood that in this situation, they really needed help.

"I just used him, I don't have any feelings for him.

How can Shazhu compare to Dongxu?" Qin Huairu continued.
