I asked you to cross the courtyard, why do you say such things to everyone you meet?

Qin Huairu came home from get off work, opened the door, and was stunned by the layout in front of her.

She looked at the portrait of her dead husband for a long time without saying a word.

Jia Zhang was already waiting for her. She had been standing at the door, watching Qin Huairu come in.

She followed him back secretly.

When Jia Zhang came into the room and saw Qin Huairu staring at her son's portrait, she said in a deep voice, "Kneel down."

Qin Huairu turned around and saw her mother-in-law. She knew it was her doing. She threw her bag behind the door and said to Jia Zhang: "You want to use this method to stop me, right?"

"Kneel down." Jia Zhang didn't say anything else, she just wanted Qin Huairu to kneel down.

Qin Huairu said firmly, "I won't kneel. Why should I kneel? I have served you and taken care of the children for so many years. I have done nothing wrong to him. I won't kneel."

Jia Zhang: "Then get out of this house. This house belongs to our Jia family, and the children are also the blood of our Jia family. You can't take any of them away."

Jia Zhang spoke with some excitement. She was angry when she saw Qin Huairu's unrepentant expression.

Qin Huairu was also annoyed when she heard what Jia Zhang said. It didn't matter whether she had a house or not, as long as she had a roof over her head to live in. But the three children were her flesh and blood, and she couldn't just ignore them.

She said: "The child is mine, why are you stopping me?"

When Jia Zhang heard what Qin Huairu said, she did not reply to her, but said, "I can't take down this portrait. I want the children's father to see how their mother is immoral. I also want to tell the children what their father thinks in the underworld."

Jia Zhang's words were really poisonous, and they directly hit Qin Huairu's weak spot. She could not care about other people's opinions, her mother-in-law's opinions, or her dead husband.

But it is impossible for her not to care about her children's opinions. Why did she do so much? It was for the children! Otherwise, she should have married off long ago. Why did she have to stay in the Jia family and suffer so much?

Qin Huairu had tears in her eyes: "Why did you hurt the child?"

Jia Zhang was annoyed when she heard this: "I hurt the children? I was saving face for you! Didn't you see that I coaxed the children out? Since you are determined to remarry, I don't care about the children's feelings anymore."

As Jia Zhang spoke, she couldn't help feeling a little proud. No matter how capable you, Qin Huairu, are, what can you do?

Unless you are willing to give up your three children, otherwise, humph! There is no way you can remarry.

Qin Huairu was also anxious: "Okay! You want this, right? Fine, then I'll call out all the elders in the courtyard and let them judge what kind of mother-in-law you are."

Having said that, Qin Huairu ran out with tears in her eyes.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu who was running away. She smiled coldly and did not try to stop her. Everything was within her calculations.

She glanced at the door, packed up all the things in the mourning hall, hid them, and waited for Qin Huairu to bring people to the door.

After a while, Qin Huairu really led the elders in the yard to come over, including the deaf old lady, the eldest uncle and his wife, the second aunt, the third uncle and his family, and so on.

As they walked, they said, "This Jia Zhang is really something. How can she use children to do magic? This is just nonsense."

Qin Huairu led the crowd into the house, and she said: "Come in and take a look! My mother-in-law..."

Then she couldn't continue speaking, because there was nothing in the room that she mentioned, as it had already been hidden by Jia Zhang.

She was home alone today and had rehearsed many times, just waiting for Qin Huairu, the chicken, to jump in!

"Hey! How come it's gone!" Qin Huairu searched everywhere in disbelief.

"What do you want us to see?" someone wondered. Isn't this quite normal?

Jia Zhang sneered in the inner room. She came out and said arrogantly, "What's going on? What are you guys doing?"

The deaf old lady was not used to her: "What are you talking about?"

Jia Zhang didn't argue with him. She waved her hands and said, "You can do whatever you want!"

She was very confident that no one could find the place where she hid her things, because no one knew it except her.

Qin Huairu still didn't give up and said to everyone: "There is a mourning hall right here. My mother-in-law must have hidden it while I was out."

She started searching through all the boxes and cabinets for it, but still couldn't find it.

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, she said aggrievedly, "Really, what I said is true. Just now, there really was a mourning hall with portraits hanging there."

Seeing the child was feeling very aggrieved, the aunt comforted her and said, "It's okay, Qin Huairu, I believe you, don't worry, how about this, you can call us when your mother-in-law hangs the things out again."

Yi Zhonghai also said: "Yes! Huairu, don't worry, we are all on your side. No matter what, it is your mother-in-law's fault. You can't hurt the child!"

The deaf old lady also expressed her opinion: "I believe it, I believe it, her mother-in-law is capable of such a thing. She is a worthless thing."

But other people really can't do anything about this kind of thing. It would be fine if they were caught in front of everyone, but there is no evidence and Jia Zhang refuses to admit it, so what can you do?

So everyone comforted Qin Huairu and left. It was not that they had no sympathy, but they just couldn't just stand there and waste time!

After everyone left, Qin Huairu was still rummaging through the drawers. She didn't believe that she couldn't find it. How could so many things be hidden in an instant?

But she never found it. She closed her eyes in a trance, as if she could still see the scene of the mourning hall being set up in the central hall.

At night, Qin Huairu was sleeping in a daze, and she heard some noise.

"Who!"

Qin Huairu got dressed and stood up to check.

As soon as I walked into the central hall, I saw Jia Zhang kneeling and praying in front of the prepared mourning hall.

Qin Huairu was startled.

At this time, Xiaodang was also awakened: "Mom, who is it?"

Qin Huairu looked at the child, the mourning hall, and her mother-in-law who was praying constantly.

She mustered up her courage and walked into the mourning hall, saying to Jia Zhang: "I beg you, please stop doing this, okay? You're scaring the child again."

Jia Zhang ignored her and continued to do as she pleased.

Qin Huairu was helpless. She knew what Jia Zhang wanted to hear, so she said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't remarry, okay?"

Jia Zhang finally responded: "Are you serious?"

Qin Huairu: “Take it seriously”

Jia Zhang was secretly delighted: "Don't regret it"

Qin Huairu: "No regrets."

Jia Zhang said, "Okay, listen to me. If you regret it, you will be punished."

Qin Huairu sighed and said nothing.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu and her son's portrait. Suddenly, she stood up and took the portrait down. She walked to Qin Huairu and said to her, "Come, look at my son's portrait and say it again."

Qin Huairu looked at this horrifying scene and said, "Mom, please don't force me, okay?"

Jia Zhang: "I'm not forcing you to do this. Mom has been through this before. Qin Huairu, let's just let this go. If I don't tell you, you know the consequences."

Qin Huairu turned around and looked at the house behind her, holding back her tears and repeating what she had just said.

Jia Zhang nodded with satisfaction and sent Qin Huairu back to sleep.
