Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Jia Zhang was originally the only daughter of Zhang, a tailor in Nancheng. Her family was not poor but not wealthy either. She made ends meet by relying on her sewing, mending, embroidery and needlework skills.

In those days, there were wars and disasters one after another, and many people were living in fear of their future. Logically speaking, with Aunt Zhang's family background, it should be more than enough for her to find a wealthy family of equal status.

But because a fortune teller came to the house and insisted that Aunt Zhang was sarcastic and mean, and was an unlucky person who would bring bad luck to her husband.

As a result, Aunt Zhang had no matchmaker to propose marriage to her. Seeing that her peers' children were already babbling, Tailor Zhang could only ask around for help.

Later, by chance, she married Old Jia, took her husband's surname, and was called Jia Zhang. As for her real name, it had long been forgotten by everyone.

Now it seems that the fortune teller in hemp clothes who was swaggering around in the market had hit the nail on the head, and he revealed the ill-fated fate of Jia Zhang in a sharp way.

Even so, Jia Zhang had the audacity to call her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu a jinx.

Li Weijun was not fond of this man. He was aggressive and unruly, acted like a spoiled child, took advantage of his seniority and was good at moral blackmail.

She doted on Jia Dongxu and her grandson Banggeng since they were young. Apart from anything else, the fact that this old woman instigated Banggeng to steal is enough to show that this is the root of all the troubles in the Jia family.

Although Jia Dongxu has passed away young, as long as Jia Zhang is still around, the growth path of the Thief of the Holy Stick meme is unlikely to change at all.

"Mom, you've been crying all the way, your voice is hoarse, drink some water, and then we'll listen to what the uncle has to say."

Qin Huairu brought a bowl of water and advised earnestly.

When her husband Jia Dongxu got into trouble, apart from the initial surprise and sadness, she slowly and quickly came out of the haze.

If it were before, Qin Huairu would probably have cried until she was hoarse and fainted on the spot after hearing such shocking news.

But now that her belt was loosened, Qin Huairu felt more relieved than having a heavy burden lifted from her shoulders at Jia Dongxu's sudden response.

"Take the water away, I don't want to drink it!"

"Who cares about your hypocrisy? My Dongxu has married you for more than ten years, but you only have a few stools as a dowry. You can't make money or food, and you put all the burden on Dongxu. If you were useless, would Dongxu have to work overtime without getting enough rest? You useless thing!"

Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu, angrily smashed the bowl to the ground, her ferocious face full of resentment and hatred.

The pottery bowl broke into pieces and scattered on the ground, looking extremely messy.

Qin Huairu was frustrated and did not answer. She bent down and silently swept the ceramic bowl away, then lifted the door curtain and walked out.

Here, a large number of respected elders from Nanluoguxiang gathered. Some were clan elders of the Jia family, some were directors of the street office. Even Yi Zhonghai, the eldest uncle of the Siheyuan, could only stand among this group of people.

"Sister-in-law, is Aunt Zhang bullying you again? It's just a bowl of water, isn't it? You clearly meant well, it's fine if she doesn't appreciate it, but why did you break the bowl!"

Seeing that Qin Huairu was wronged, Sha Zhu stepped forward in indignation and raised his fist.

Qin Huairu calmly shook her head and said, "Silly Zhu, there is no reason for this kind of thing. You should just listen to the arrangements of the clan elders. I will trouble you again for the buffet. I will not give you any less money when the time comes."

After that, she bowed respectfully to the big guy who came to help, and said gratefully: "Thank you for taking care of my family's affairs. I am a woman and don't understand the rules and regulations. I rely on the neighbors to take care of me. If there is anything I am concerned about, please give me some advice."

With such a humble attitude, many neighbors who came to help hurriedly helped Qin Huairu up, lending their strength and money.

No matter what the Jia family's reputation was in the courtyard before, death is the most important thing now, and the pension from the steel mill has not been approved and allocated.

We still have to do our best to help the Jia family overcome the current difficulties. Even if we don't do it in a grand manner, we have to at least give Jia Dongxu some dignity.

So, led by the elders of Jia Dongxu's family, several experienced elders began to discuss Jia Dongxu's funeral arrangements.

The rest of the people were busy with their own things. When the buffet was held in a few days to bury Jia Dongxu, if they just gave a greeting, everyone would naturally come to help.

Li Weijun watched the scene happening before his eyes and also felt deeply saddened.

In any case, Jia Dongxu and I are fellow travelers.

Although Li Weijun, who was familiar with the plot, had already anticipated Jia Dongxu's ending, when it really came to this, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

But things in this world are unpredictable. The only thing we can do now is to make the living happier. Even if we are beaten and bruised by life, we still have to bite the bullet and move on.

Thinking of this, Li Weijun found Qin Jingru who was holding the child and asked the girl to take a message to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu must continue to implement the eagle-training strategy, as now is the critical moment.

Jia Dongxu left suddenly. Who will be the head of the Jia family in the future will all depend on who can suppress the other in terms of momentum this time.

Take just now for example, Jia Zhang knew that a lot of neighbors were watching outside the curtain, but she still smashed cups and lost her temper. Wasn't her purpose to make a show of force?

Give Qin Huairu a warning. If she can handle it, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can stand against each other. If she can't handle it, she will probably be submissive in front of her mother-in-law from now on.

By then, the person who would work as a fitter in the steel rolling mill would probably be Qin Huairu herself.

Therefore, Jia Zhang was a very shrewd and cunning person. Even at this point, she still did not forget to plan.

But in Li Weijun's opinion, Jia Zhang was a completely cowardly paper tiger. She looked fierce and irritable, but in fact, she was extremely afraid that Qin Huairu would divorce her and run away.

Now that Jia Dongxu is no longer a hindrance to Qin Huairu, she has become a widow. With her stunning looks, it would be easy for her to find another job in the city.

If all else fails, you can just go back to your parents' home and find a hardworking and down-to-earth husband. That's a piece of cake.

By then, Jia Zhang, at such an old age, would still have to pull the stick, which would be so miserable.

Her little trick can only fool Qin Huairu.

As Qin Huairu's behind-the-scenes strategist, Li Weijun had to remind her of her concerns.

"Brother Weijun, don't worry, I will make sure to tell my cousin every word of this."

After getting instructions from Li Weijun, Qin Jingru blinked her watery eyes, turned her head and found an opportunity to pass the message to Qin Huairu.

Hearing this, Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

After everyone left, only family members were left in the room.

Jia Zhang's true colors were exposed. She stopped crying and looked at Qin Jingru suspiciously. Jiang Yingying said, "Why did you bring these bad friends into the house? Our temple is small and shallow, and we can't accommodate these people."
