Siheyuan, my new life

Jia Dongxu snorted heavily. He didn't believe a word the woman said, but he still needed her cooperation, so he sneered and said, "I was planning to go to the street office to get a divorce tomorrow after you leave."

Before Jia Dongxu could continue, Qin Huairu knelt down in front of him and begged, "Dongxu, no, please don't divorce me. I will serve you like a slave in the future. As long as you don't divorce me, I will agree to anything you want."

What Qin Huairu feared most was being kicked out of the Jia family. You know, she was originally a rural hukou. Once divorced, she could only return to Qinjia Village with her two children. Thinking about the hard life she had in the countryside before, how could she be willing to go back? What's more, she had to return to the countryside with her two children? Moreover, the rural concepts and ideas are very conservative now. Most people look down on divorced women. Divorce is different from widowhood. The status of a widow in the village is much higher than that of a divorced woman.

When Jia Dongxu saw the woman kneeling in front of him and begging desperately, he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart, but he soon came to his senses. This was the detention room of the Security Department, and he couldn't waste time, so he said: "Qin Huairu, I can keep you and the child in the Jia family and in the city, but you must agree to a few conditions of mine."

Qin Huairu immediately raised her head with joy, staring at the other person with her peach blossom eyes, and kept saying: "Dongxu, tell me, as long as you can let me and the child stay in the Jia family, I will agree to it."

Jia Dongxu took out a cigarette box from his pocket, lit up a Da Shengchan, took a puff and complained secretly. It was much worse than the Mudan cigarettes that Secretary Xiao smoked. When he got the money from Yi Zhonghai, he would find a way to buy a few boxes of Mudan cigarettes to enjoy. He suppressed his inner calculations and said, "First, let Yi Zhonghai compensate me with one thousand yuan in cash. Remember, it is cash. The money I borrowed from him before will be written off. Second, you two must keep your mouth shut and never acknowledge the child's background. In other words, the child must have the surname Jia. Third, the living expenses of the two children will be borne by Yi Zhonghai. You must give me at least twenty yuan a month as living expenses for the children. As for all the expenses of Banggeng's marriage in the future, they will also be borne by Yi Zhonghai." After he finished speaking, he stared at the woman in front of him while smoking.

Qin Huairu thought carefully about the three conditions proposed by Jia Dongxu and felt that they were not excessive. She believed that Yi Zhonghai would agree to them, so she nodded: "No problem, I agree to all these conditions. I will talk to Yi Zhonghai with you later."

Jia Dongxu didn't waste any time. He walked out the door and found Secretary Xiao who was smoking not far away. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Secretary Xiao, I have already talked to Qin Huairu, but I still need to talk to Yi Zhonghai together."

Secretary Xiao didn't say anything either. He just threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and walked into the detention room.

The subsequent negotiations with Yi Zhonghai went smoothly, but Yi Zhonghai also put forward his own conditions, which was that Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu and Banggeng would be responsible for his and his wife's retirement in the future. Of course, after he and his wife passed away, the house, work station and property would also be left to them.

It was not until then that Jia Dongxu realized that Yi Zhonghai had actually bought the house he was living in with his own money at some point. Jia Dongxu couldn't help but curse him inwardly as an old fox. There were so many people in the courtyard at No. 95, yet no one knew about this.

However, Jia Dongxu agreed to Yi Zhonghai's request for retirement care without any hesitation. He had already made up his mind that when Yi Zhonghai got old, he would kick him out of the house and let him fend for himself.

Yi Zhonghai promised to give Jia Dongxu one thousand yuan in compensation after he got out. Of course, neither of them mentioned severing the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu in the future. Obviously, they both tacitly agreed to this. Jia Dongxu knew that even if he brought it up now, the two would probably meet secretly in the future, so it would be better to turn a blind eye.

After achieving his wish, Jia Dongxu left the Security Department. He could still have a day off today, and he would not go back to the workshop to work hard.

However, Jia Dongxu did not go home after leaving the factory. After returning, he still had to deal with Jia Zhang's questioning, so he simply strolled around. At noon, he went to a fly restaurant, ordered a meat dish, and had a delicious meal.

In the afternoon, Jia Dongxu calculated the time and staggered back home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his mother, Jia Zhang, sitting at the dining table with a gloomy face, while the two children, Banggeng and Xiaodang, were huddled in the corner, sniffling constantly, with clear slap marks on their faces.

Jia Dongxu frowned and looked at Jia Zhang, and asked: "Mom, what's wrong? How can you hit the child like this?"

Hearing her son's question, Jia Zhang was like an angry wild boar, panting heavily and cursing viciously: "Dongxu, haven't you heard about the dead family Yi Zhonghai and the slutty vixen Qin Huairu? Now it's all over the outside world. These two bastards are not from our Jia family at all. What's the point of beating them up? I'm going to beat them to death!"

Seeing the two trembling children, Jia Dongxu first shouted at Jia Zhang in a low voice: "Shut up and stop making noise. Are you going to invite all the neighbors to watch the fun? I'll tell you later."

Then she walked over to Banggeng and Xiaodang and forced a smile: "Be good, Banggeng, take your sister to the inner room to play first. Don't worry, grandma won't beat you anymore."

After the two children entered the inner room, Jia Dongxu sat at the dining table. Looking at Jia Zhang who looked furious, he sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Mom, just listen to me honestly from now on. Don't make a fuss, and don't make a scene to scold Old Jia, otherwise don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Jia Zhang stared at her son in disbelief. She never expected that her son would speak to her like this. She was about to greet Old Jia, but when she saw her son's cold eyes, she had to shut her mouth obediently.

Jia Dongxu lit a cigarette and slowly began to tell her everything that had happened. He also told her the conditions he had agreed upon with Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

Jia Zhang looked at her son in shock. Just as she was about to yell, Jia Dongxu snorted heavily: "Did you take what I just said as bullshit? If you dare to mess with Old Jia, I will immediately drive you to the countryside and will not give you a penny."

Jia Zhang was like a rooster with its neck strangled. She burped but swallowed the words she was about to say. She glared at her son fiercely.
