Siheyuan: The opening earthquake of stealing and replacing pillars

As the saying goes, there are unexpected changes in the weather. The winter snow comes and falls as soon as it is expected. In just one hour, the courtyard is covered with white.

"Ah!"

In the corridor of the backyard, there was a figure curled up. In the cold winter night, she was shivering with cold. This person was Qin Jingru who was kicked out of the house by Xu Damao.

"Huazi, Huazi!" Hearing the noise, Wei Hong hurriedly pushed Ma Hua who was sleeping.

"What are you doing? Sleep well!"

"Hua Zi, there seems to be someone crying outside the door, and it's a woman!" Wei Hong said nervously.

With a "click", Ma Hua lost all sleepiness. He listened carefully and found that it sounded like someone was crying, sobbing, and it was very sad and scary!

"Go out and take a look!"

"I won't go. It's so creepy in the middle of the night!" Ma Hua was timid and shook his head like a rattle.

"I won't go. It's no use looking at me!"

"Look how scared you are!" Wei Hong rolled her eyes and said, "A grown man is afraid of ghosts?"

"Aren't you afraid you can go?"

"I'll go, I'll go!"

Wei Hong snorted and said, "It's a new society now. No matter what kind of monsters and demons there are, I can wipe them out with my righteousness!"

As she said this, she put on her cotton coat, turned on the light, and then moved carefully to the door. When she opened the door, the first thing Wei Hong saw was that the snow was so heavy and the weather was so cold that she couldn't help shivering.

"Qin, Qin Jingru!"

Looking at Qin Jingru whose head was covered with snowflakes, Weihong was stunned!

"Xiao, Xiaohong!" Qin Jingru shouted out the two words with difficulty. There was no other way, her tongue was almost frozen!

Wei Hong hurried over to put the clothes on Qin Jingru, then patted the snow off her head and said distressedly: "Why are you not going home so late at night? What are you doing here?"

"Xu, Xu Damao doesn't want me anymore!"

"A-choo!" Qin Jingru sneezed several times!

"Let's talk inside!" Wei Hong quickly pulled Qin Jingru into the house.

"Hua Zi, get up quickly!"

Ma Hua got up and saw that it was Qin Jingru. He was also stunned.

"what happened?"

"What else can he do? Xu Damao kicked his wife out. He is still a man. You should let your master give him a good beating. He is such a bastard!" Wei Hong said as she poured Qin Jingru a cup of hot water.

"No, I mean why did you bring her to our house?"

Ma Hua was concerned about the relationship between his master He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, so he was afraid of being gossiped about. He could not help but complain to Wei Hong, "Even if they want to help, it's not our turn. There are still the elder uncles. Oh, isn't her sister Qin Huairu? Go find her!"

"Don't chase me away, don't chase me away!" Qin Jingru was like a frightened bird. She kept begging, "My sister doesn't want me anymore. Please, don't chase me away..."

As he was talking, he fainted!

"Qin Jingru, Qin Jingru!" Wei Hong called out anxiously, but unfortunately Qin Jingru didn't respond at all.

"Now it's okay, we're in big trouble!" Ma Hua said helplessly.

"What kind of trouble can it be?"

Wei Hong called Ma Ling to get up, and the two of them worked together to lift Qin Jingru to the bed, and then covered her with a quilt. Qin Jingru was temporarily warm, and her consciousness gradually recovered, but she was still talking nonsense.

"Don't chase me away, don't chase me away..."

"Okay, okay, I won't chase you away. Go to sleep~" Wei Hong kept comforting Qin Jingru.

You know what, this sentence worked better than any panacea. Qin Jingru really stopped making noises and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

She stopped making a fuss, but Ma Hua started to get upset again.

"What do you call this?"

Wei Hong knew what Ma Hua was worried about. There was a conflict between the Xu family and the He family, and everyone in the courtyard knew it. But then again, we can't just watch people freeze to death on our doorstep. As the old saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. This can also be considered as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds!

"Why are you so worried? I didn't say that she can stay here forever! Go back and explain to your master. Tomorrow morning, I will go find the old man. He is a good man in this courtyard and he will not ignore it!"

Since his wife said so, what else could Ma Hua say? He had to agree.

Little did they know that Qin Jingru, who was "asleep", silently shed tears after listening to their conversation.

……

The next morning, Wei Hong took Qin Jingru to find Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle, this is what happened. Now you tell me what to do!" After saying that, Wei Hong looked at Qin Jingru with sympathy!

Qin Jingru was crying with tears and snot, she looked so pitiful, didn’t she?

Yi Zhonghai and the aunt looked at each other. They didn't know what to do. If it were in the past, they might have taken Qin Jingru in for Qin Huairu's sake, but now, both families had severed their relationship, so it was difficult to help!

Besides, there’s no more room to squeeze in at home, and Banggeng is still here!

"How about this, I'll go talk to Qin Huairu about it. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. I don't think she will ignore it!" Yi Zhonghai said as he walked out.

At this time in the He family, Ma Hua confessed everything to He Yuzhu. He thought his master would be furious, but He Yuzhu just smiled.

"It's not impossible to let her live here, but she has to pay for the rent first. Also, didn't your wife say that the coal briquette factory is hiring temporary workers? Ask her to sign up Qin Jingru. We can't miss out on any reward!"

How can I describe this woman Qin Jingru? She is like a blank piece of paper, with big breasts and no brains. She learns from everyone she follows, but she is not bad in nature. Qin Huairu says that she is ungrateful, but that is not the case. The truly ungrateful one is Qin Huairu.

When Qin Jingru first married Xu Damao, she always tried to find ways to help the Jia family, but the old Jia family members were greedy and demanded endlessly, which made Xu Damao anxious. He thought that if they continued to eat like this, even the golden nest or the silver nest would be emptied, so he cut off all contact with them.

As for finding a job for Qin Jingru, it was actually because He Yuzhu felt sorry for her. It was not easy for a country girl to come to the city alone to work hard. Besides, after she got a job, she would be able to cheer up and continue to fight with Xu Damao. Why not?

On the other side, Qin Huairu's house was more lively. As soon as Yi Zhonghai explained the situation, Jia Zhang jumped up and down and cursed, "It really serves you right. What do you call this? Retribution, it's really retribution, bah!"

Qin Huairu was moved with compassion. Just as Yi Zhonghai said, broken bones are connected by tendons. If her family knew that her cousin was bullied, and she, as her elder sister, not only did not help, but also stood aside and watched the joke, how disheartening it would be!

"Uncle, you've seen the situation at my house. Even if I wanted to help, I'm powerless!"

How could Yi Zhonghai not know this?

"Alas! I think it would be better if Qin Jingru could live in the room next to the pillar first. I will go and persuade Xu Damao that they have been together for so many years and should not let the lack of children affect their relationship!"

"Uncle, it's useless for you to go. Don't you know Xu Damao? He's a man who doesn't care about his relatives when he gets naughty. He needs a strong man to deal with him. I think it's better to let Sha Zhu go!"

Qin Huairu wanted to take this opportunity to see He Yuzhu's reaction. If he agreed, it would mean that he still cared about her in his heart.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and felt that what Qin Huairu said made sense. If anyone in this hospital could control Xu Damao, it would have to be He Yuzhu.

After Yi Zhonghai left, Jia Zhang began to blame Qin Huairu again.

"I say, Huairu, you really shouldn't care about her, you ungrateful little thing!"

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and said nothing. She thought, if I don't care about her, how will everyone look at me? How will Sha Zhu look at me? After all, we are relatives. Even if we break bones, we still have tendons. If Sha Zhu misunderstands that I am a heartless and ungrateful person, I will never be able to clear myself up even if I jump into the Yellow River!

……

"Qin Jingru, I don't want to ask about the problems between you and Xu Damao, but if you want to live with me, you have to pay for the room. I'm only thinking of you out of pity, otherwise I wouldn't bother to care about you!"

He Yuzhu's words were extremely cold, even colder than the weather in the old city. Qin Jingru couldn't help but shiver.

"I know!"

Qin Jingru hurriedly took out her only twenty yuan, which she had saved by living frugally, just in case Xu Damao turned against her one day.

He Yuzhu certainly didn't care about the twenty yuan. He just wanted to let Qin Jingru know that there was no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world.

……

Qin Jingru followed Wei Hong back into the house and couldn't help crying again. After all, they had been married for so many years, and Xu Damao just wanted her away if he didn't want her. Even if he had raised a dog for so many years, he should have had feelings for it. But the fact was, she was not even as good as a dog.

"Jingru, since things have come to this point, don't be sad. If Xu Damao doesn't want you, it's his loss!"

Qin Jingru cried bitterly: "Wu~, Xiaohong, how should I live in the future?"

Wei Hong thought for a moment and said, "There is always a way out. Jingru, our coal briquette factory is now recruiting temporary workers. The work is a bit hard and dirty. If you are willing, I will take you to sign up today!"

"I do! I do!"

Qin Jingru cried with joy: "Sister Hong, you are really my great benefactor. I, I kowtow to you!"

As she was about to kneel down, Wei Hong had never seen such a scene before, so she quickly helped Qin Jingru up.

"Jingru, you have to cheer up and show your man that you can live well without him!"

"Ok!"

Qin Jingru nodded vigorously. This time she had made up her mind that she must make a name for herself and not let Xu Damao look down on her again.
