Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Among the crowd, Qin Huairu's eyes never left Li Weijun.

At this moment, she was holding the washing basin in her hands, and seeing a quarrel that was about to break out being deftly resolved by Li Weijun, she could not help but feel a surge of warmth in her heart. Her eyes were shining with joy, as if they could penetrate the surrounding noise and reach Li Weijun's heart.

Qin Huairu's character always makes people feel pity for her - she always gives warmth and support to others inadvertently.

Qin Huairu knew that her relationship with Li Weijun was destined to be "in name only". She was a widow with a group of children - the children of the Jia family.

In that era, even ordinary families found it difficult to bear the burden of raising so many children, not to mention having to face all kinds of difficulties in life.

For Qin Huairu, just ensuring that the children have food to eat every day is already a very difficult task. But even so, she has never had any complaints and always tries her best to take good care of every child.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Qin Huairu would sit alone in the yard, looking at the starry sky, her heart filled with longing and worry about the future.

She knows that the pressure of life may make her breathless, but she never gives up easily. She always tells herself that as long as the family can stay together, no matter how big the difficulties are, they can overcome them together. This strong and optimistic attitude allows her to maintain a warm and soft heart in the difficult life.

When Li Weijun appeared, Qin Huairu felt unprecedented peace of mind. Although there were insurmountable obstacles between them, Li Weijun always gave her strength and support inadvertently.

He not only helped her materially, but also gave her great spiritual support. The appearance of Li Weijun was like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating Qin Huairu's originally gloomy life. Therefore, whenever Qin Huairu saw Li Weijun successfully solve a difficult problem, she would feel happy from the bottom of her heart.

Today, when the dispute subsided, Qin Huairu looked at Li Weijun's confident and calm appearance, and the gratitude in her heart was beyond words.

She knew how precious it was to have such a trustworthy person by her side in this challenging time. She silently made a wish that she could be as strong as Li Weijun, and at the same time she hoped to bring more warmth and support to Li Weijun.

At this moment, Qin Huairu's face was filled with a happy smile, as if all her worries and sorrows had disappeared with the end of this dispute.

If it were a heartless woman, how could she be willing to work like a slave for the Jia family and live as a widow all her life after Jia Dongxu's death?

Therefore, Qin Huairu is virtuous and has the character of a good housewife who can manage the household. This character is determined in Li Weijun's mind. It's a pity that she was born at the wrong time. I was born before you, and you were born when I was old.

It was destined that he could only have an affair with Qin Huairu, instead of Li Weijun marrying her into the Li family in a legitimate way.

This can be said to be the greatest sorrow between two people who know and love each other. They cannot fully display their love in public, and can only secretly confide in each other in the long night.

Seeing that Qin Huairu, this silly girl, was actually happy for Li Weijun, the guard Zhang Yunzhen standing next to him was so envious that his drool was almost dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Comparing yourself with others will only make you feel miserable. How could Li Weijun be so lucky to have such a good lover like Qin Huairu? After his philandering was exposed, Qin Huairu didn't even think of adding fuel to the fire and instead came forward to make trouble.

Instead, the primary purpose was to help Li Weijun worry about his family's children. What more could a husband ask for?

Not to mention Qin Huairu's pretty face, which was enough to make her the most beautiful girl in Nanluoguyuan. In Zhang Yunzhen's impression, after working as a guard for so many years, he had seen enough noble ladies from all walks of life.

Some of them seem elegant, kind-hearted, and benevolent, but in fact their personalities may be twisted and dark. And if we just talk about appearance, Qin Huairu can definitely be called a beauty.

At least if Zhang Yunzhen were to choose, he would definitely choose Qin Huairu without hesitation between Ji Xiaotao and Jiang Xifeng. It's not that he has any other hobbies, but simply because he loves Qin Huairu's non-competitive character.

"Oh, you silly girl, Li Weijun doesn't have any troubles anymore, but why are you so happy? In my opinion, you are too virtuous. Although we women should pay attention to supporting our husbands and raising children and be virtuous like ladies from wealthy families, if you are too virtuous, wouldn't it appear that you are weak and can be bullied? In my opinion, you should also go up and negotiate with Li Weijun. While you are still pretty and not old, ask Li Weijun for more benefits. Otherwise, when he leaves and the tea is cold, if Li Weijun gets tired of the old and loves the new, you won't have time to cry then."

The third aunt felt very sorry for Qin Huairu's behavior. She asked herself, if she were Qin Huairu, she would definitely not miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Li Weijun, either you give me enough benefits, and I will not cause trouble but just watch the show quietly from the side, or you fight to the death and let everyone know what happened between us. If your reputation, Li Weijun, is ruined, don't blame me for being ruthless and cold-blooded.

"Third Aunt, look at what you said. Li Weijun and I are just ordinary neighbors. What does his emotional dispute have to do with me? If I step forward, wouldn't it be a complete joke? You should relax and stop giving me advice."

Qin Huairu seemed to be disdainful of what Third Aunt Yang Ruihua said and directly denied that she had an ambiguous relationship with Li Weijun.

You have to know about this matter. The neighbors in the entire Nanluoguxiang more or less know some of the inside story and details of the matter, but there is no substantial evidence. At most, they just discuss it privately as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Qin Huairu was also happy about this. After all, she was a widow now and she had to consider her reputation in the past. She ran into Li Weijun's bed in the middle of the night and enjoyed the rare comfort.

But later, after Li Weijun got a plaque from the old man and hung it on the wall, Qin Huairu also seemed much bolder and more presumptuous.

During this period, as long as Ji Xiaotao and Jiang Xifeng were not in the courtyard, Qin Huairu would always stay out all night. As for Xiao Huaihua being hungry in the middle of the night, it was her mother-in-law who fed her the milk that Qin Huairu had warmed up in advance.

At the beginning, Qin Huairu's mother-in-law had some complaints, and she ridiculed her husband openly and covertly about this kind of thing, often saying things like she was unfaithful to her husband before and after meals.

But later, with the endorsement of Li Weijun and the old man, Qin Huairu's mother-in-law could only turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye.

She was also aware of the current situation of the Jia family. There was no backbone or pillar, and with so many burdens, they had to take care of food, school, and medicine. If Qin Huairu pretended to be noble and cold all day long just to maintain her chastity,

Wouldn’t all the people in the Jia family starve to death in the house?

It might not be a bad thing that Qin Huairu is following Li Weijun now. At least Qin Huairu's food ration can be saved. In addition, the food at Li Weijun's place is good. Li Weijun takes Qin Huairu to drink crucian carp soup every now and then, so her milk supply is much more sufficient.

Unlike before, when Jia Dongxu was alive, Qin Huairu had insufficient milk, which made little Huaihua so hungry that she cried all night long.

What Qin Huairu’s mother-in-law didn’t know was that the main reason why Qin Huairu was short of milk at that time, in addition to the lack of nutrition, was that there were too many mouths drinking milk.

Li Weijun ate up all of Xiao Huaihua’s food rations. What else could Xiao Huaihua do if she wasn’t hungry?

"Hey! Just pretend I didn't say anything, just pretend I didn't say anything, okay? You and Li Weijun have nothing to do with each other. Huairu, as someone who has been through this, I still want to give you a piece of advice. As women, we should first consider ourselves, unlike those men who only seek pleasure and enjoyment. In the end, we women are the ones who suffer."

Third Aunt Yang Ruihua was frustrated and speechless for a moment. She really didn't expect Qin Huairu to be so devoted to Li Weijun, so she could only give up reluctantly.

The third uncle squatted on the side to join in the fun, poked his wife, the third aunt Yang Ruihua, with his hand in annoyance, and complained: "I say you gossip, what are you doing here? Qin Huairu and Li Weijun are innocent, and you are making trouble here. If this gets out, it will change Li Weijun's reputation. What do you think, Brother Song?"

It can be seen that in order to gain Li Weijun's favor and thus obtain the management task of the Beijing Procurement Network, the third uncle has been a little too flattering at this moment.

Song Laogou listened to the Third Uncle's flattering words and nodded seriously: "What the elder brother said makes sense. We should pay attention to evidence for everything, not just empty words. Our head of the family is self-disciplined, and he and sister Qin Huairu can only say that they appreciate each other. How can there be so many crickets? If you ask me, these people must be idle. They are all honest after digging in the ground under the scorching sun for a while."

"Right, right, right. These people are just meddling in other people's business. If you ask me, they should find something to do with these gossipers. By the way, Brother Song, do you think that I am responsible for the procurement in Beijing? It should be OK, right?"

The third uncle Yan Bugui finally revealed his true intentions. He had been fawning and trying to please Song Laogou during this period of time. He even stewed the salted fish that he usually didn't want to eat at home, and even got a pot of white wine.

It can be said that it is a huge investment, and we are just waiting for things like purchasing to make some profit to make up for the loss.

Song Laogou was naturally a shrewd fox who knew how to control people's hearts, so he agreed without hesitation: "Of course, Big Brother is literate and has a clear mind, and can distinguish right from wrong. I think our boss made the right choice. I have no objection to you being the purchasing manager for the capital."

"That's good, that's good. By the way, we still have the wine in the house, and the pound of pig ears. Take this opportunity to prevent those greedy guys in my family from eating them. Brother Song, let's go back and continue eating and drinking, and talk in detail if we have anything to say."

Yan Bugui was extremely satisfied with Song Laogou's words. He was a man who would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. He had already invested so much money, and if Song Laogou refused to accept his toast, he would be punished.

Then Yan Bugui wanted to let this country bumpkin see what it means to be stingy and mean. Even a fly leg can smell bad.

Seeing that Song Laogou was about to go back to the house to continue drinking, Qin Huairu took a few steps forward and asked in a low voice.

"Song Gongming, from what you said, there is a problem with Ma Xuewu in Cantou Village. I have long known that he is a fence-sitter and cannot be trusted. How is my father doing in Qinjia Village recently?"

Previously, Qin Huairu helped her father to ask Li Weijun for the identity of the person in charge of the purchasing division of Qinjia Village, so that she could receive some rations, rice and flour from Song Laogou every month.

Now something strange has happened to Ma Xuewu in the Canning Village. I wonder if my dad, the person in charge of the purchasing division, has been affected?

Facing Qin Huairu's question, Song Laogou hesitated for a moment, but said without hiding anything: "Don't worry, Madam, our head of the family has specifically explained your father's affairs. Even if the people under us don't eat or drink, your father will never get less than what he deserves. Madam, please rest assured about this. Laogou knows it clearly in his heart."

"What do you mean by big lady or small lady? Gongming, your mouth is full of honey all day long, talking nonsense."

Although Qin Huairu seemed quite dissatisfied with Song Gongming's title of "Madam", the comfortable expression on her face revealed that she was satisfied with the title.

"This silly girl is completely hopeless. She thinks being the first wife is beautiful, but she doesn't know there are second and third wives behind her."

Auntie Yang Ruihua complained helplessly from the side.

Qin Huairu naturally didn't care about what Third Aunt Yang Ruihua said, and happily prepared to leave with the laundry basin.

At this time in the room, Li Weijun, who was able to easily get away, walked straight towards Qin Huairu.

When the two people's eyes met, they both ran to the middle courtyard in tacit understanding.

Third Aunt Yang Ruihua and her group also knew how to avoid suspicion, so they all went back to their rooms to rest tacitly.

"Huai Ru, I may have to go to Luosha Country to participate in a friendly competition in the future. I guess I won't be back for a long time. You are alone in the courtyard, so you must take good care of yourself. I will arrange for Song Gongming in advance to protect your safety. By the way, here is 20 yuan. Take it first, just as pocket money for the time being. I'm sorry to have wronged you during this period. After I finish the urgent things at hand, I will take you to the beach to have a look, and we will pick conches and eat squid together."

Qin Huairu nodded heavily in response to Li Weijun's tender affection.
