Siheyuan: Liu Guangtian's happy life

The next day after work, Liu Guangtian took Qin Huairu and his family to the factory office to find Director Yang.

The factory gave a pension of 600, which included the previous funeral expenses.

Jia Dongxu's work position can be inherited by the Jia family, so Qin Huairu can come to work after giving birth.

During Qin Huairu's pregnancy, she received a subsidy of 27 yuan per month until she finished her confinement and went back to work.

Leading the Jia family to the factory gate, Liu Guangtian said to them:

"Aunt Jia and Sister-in-law Huairu, I won't see you off. You still have to live your lives after Brother Dongxu leaves, so don't be too sad."

"And sister-in-law, from now on you are a formal worker. Go to the street office to transfer your household registration. By then, you and your son, Xiaodang, and the baby in your belly will all be city dwellers, and you won't have to worry about food rations anymore."

Qin Huai was no longer sad at this time. Jia Dongxu was gone, and she still had a big family to support. She was happy after hearing Liu Guangtian's words. She was finally a city dweller and a glorious worker!

Although there are many people, old and young, at least she doesn't have to farm in the countryside. She doesn't want to live that kind of life again.

Now that she is a city dweller, her children will also be city dwellers after their household registration follows hers, and they can eat commercial grain, so they no longer have to go out to buy expensive grain.

There are two widows in the family, both of whom have lost their husbands. She is still young, so can she find another one?

Qin Huairu was thinking about something when Jia Zhang pulled on the corner of his clothes. He then reacted and said to Liu Guangtian:

"Guangtian, thank you so much for these days, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do!"

"Yes, Guangtian! Thank you, auntie, for helping us solve this big problem. Otherwise, our family really doesn't know what to do, Jia Zhang agreed."

Liu Guangtian waved his hand and said:

"Well, we are all neighbors. It's just a small favor. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. This is what should be done."

"Don't say thank you anymore. Auntie, go back and have a rest. I have to go back to work at the factory."

Qin Huairu also said upon hearing this:

"Okay then, we'll go back first. Thank you Guangtian!"

Liu Guangtian took out a few candies from his pocket and handed them to Banggeng and Xiaodang, telling them to be good and then went back to the factory.

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Guangtian's back and sighed in her heart, what a great man he is, it would be even better if he could help her family, but it's a pity that he belongs to someone else!

Jia Zhang was a person who could see what Qin Huairu was thinking at a glance, but she knew that Liu Guangtian was not someone to be trifled with, so she said:

"Huai Ru, forget it. Liu Guangtian is not someone you can mess with. He helped our family this time because he is the leader of the factory and he had to stand up. Whether he will help us in the future is another matter."

Qin Huairu naturally understood, but he was just unwilling to accept it.

"Mom, of course I know, it's just a pity. You said that we have two widows in our family now and the one in my belly will make three children in the future. Without a man in this family, we might be bullied. If he is willing to help us, we won't have to worry in the future."

"Don't worry about it. The neighbors in the courtyard can't bully us. We have Yi Zhonghai. Now that Dongxu is dead, Yi Zhonghai will help our Jia family even more."

"Have you forgotten that Dongxu said he would help Yi Zhonghai with his old age? Isn't it the same if you also help Yi Zhonghai with his old age in the future?"

Qin Huairu was a little reluctant. In the past, her husband was willing to take care of his master in his old age because he was still alive. Now that he is gone, will Yi Zhonghai still recognize their family?

I guess they are now considered a burden, and it is probably too late to get rid of them.

"Mom, how can our family afford to support an old man in his old age? I think it will be hard for me to support our family when I work. Aren't you pushing me into trouble?"

Jia Zhang looked disdainful and said to Qin Huairu:

"Humph, you are still too naive. When Lao Jia left, Dongxu was only a little old, but I still raised him. How much sadness and tears did I feel? Don't I know that?"

"Do you think I don't know what people in the courtyard say about me? I just want to throw a tantrum and act unreasonable so that no one will bully us. If I cry like you, I will probably be bullied to death in the future."

"A widow is always surrounded by gossip. When I was young, my mother was no worse than you, Qin Huairu. She was also a beauty in the village. When Lao Jia passed away, I was still young. I don't know how many stinky men had their eyes on me."

"In the past, Shazhu's father, Xu Fugui, and even Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard all had their eyes on me. I got a lot of food from them, but I, your mother, still kept my bottom line and didn't let down Lao Jia."

Huh? Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang in shock, as if the door to a new world had been opened!

It was the first time that Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang talk about her youth. She didn't expect there were such things. But she found it a little unconvincing when Jia Zhang said that she looked as much as herself when she was young.

Looking at Jia Zhang, who weighs nearly 180 pounds, she is like a sow. How can she have the nerve to say that she was not inferior to me when she was young? Will I be like her when I am old?

Jia Zhang didn't care about Qin Huairu's puzzled expression and continued:

"There are so many ways to be a widow. I will slowly teach you in the future. But I warn you in advance that you must not do anything to let down our Dongxu, otherwise I will not forgive you."

Qin Huairu quickly explained:

"Mom, what are you talking about? Dongxu is so good to me, how could I let him down? Don't worry!"

"Well, you better be!"

"Let me tell you, you are a newly widowed woman, and there are many stinky men who want to take advantage of you. I know that there are several young men in the courtyard who have been secretly looking at you, like Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng, etc. They used to look at you with strange eyes. Don't say you don't understand."

"Since Shazhu is married now, it would be hard for you to take advantage of him. For someone like Xu Damao who is not married, he will be lost if you just do something. If you give him a little sweet treat, he will empty out his rice jar for you."

"Don't think this is shameful. If I hadn't been struggling to make ends meet, I wouldn't have done this. It's all for the sake of supporting Dongxu."

"As long as you know your limits in the future, there is no man who is not lustful. Take for example, Sha Zhu's father, He Daqing, who was so bewitched by the widow that he lost his way and even abandoned his own son and daughter and ran away with the widow."

"If you, Qin Huairu, have the ability to find a capable man to support our family, I don't mind. But one thing is that you must not help him have a child, otherwise he won't care about your child."

"My daughter-in-law, these are the experiences that I have gained from being a widow for so many years. I will not lie to you."

The more Qin Huairu listened, the colder her heart became, and she got goose bumps all over her body. She didn't expect that Jia Zhang had such a side to her, and she was a little impressed by her in her heart.

But deep down in her heart she still wanted to find an honest and reliable man to remarry. She was still young and could have children, and she was very confident about her appearance.

When she heard Jia Zhang's story about He Daqing, she felt very envious. She longed to be like that widow and have a capable man to help her.

Thinking of Sha Zhu, he sighed in his heart. Isn't Sha Zhu the best candidate? He had been very attentive to me in the past. He was also the chef in the cafeteria and there were leftovers to take away every day after get off work. He was definitely the best candidate to recruit, just like his father He Daqing. But now that he was married, it was not easy to make a move.

You said your father is helping others to frame others, so why are you getting married? It would be great if you could follow in your father's footsteps and join in the conspiracy together. And you have three children for nothing. You are such a fool!

Qin Huairu now feels a little resentful towards Sha Zhu. She used to call her Sister Qin, but now that she is married, she calls her Sister-in-law of the Jia family.

Qin Huairu is also very confused now, but the seed of the vampire lotus in her heart has sprouted, and she is just waiting for the harvest!
