Upon hearing this, Yan Jiefang returned to the house in dejection, and did not forget to glance at He Yushui before leaving.

After Yan Jiefang left, Yan Fugui looked at He Yushui and said, "Yushui, I apologize to you on behalf of my Jiefang. Don't worry, he won't dare to bother you again."

After all, they lived in the same courtyard, and Yan Fugui was the third uncle. He Yushui didn't want to embarrass Yan Fugui, so he nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, third uncle." After that, he took the reluctant Sha Zhu back to the central courtyard.

As soon as he entered the house, Sha Zhu broke away from He Yushui and said, "Yushui, why are you holding me? I need to have a good talk with that old man Yan Fugui. How dare Yan Jiefang, who is such a scoundrel, covet my sister!"

Qin Yanru, who was holding He Xiao in the room at this time, saw Sha Zhu's angry look and asked curiously: "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand a word?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu recounted what happened in the front yard and said, "Yan Ru, you said that the Yan family is so stingy, and whose daughter would not suffer after marrying into the family? We all saw what Yu Li was like back then."

Qin Yanru nodded in agreement and said, "Zhu Zi, that's what you said."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at He Yushui, fearing that she was young and had been fooled by Yan Jiefang, so he took her hand and said, "Yushui, listen to your brother. The Yan family is not a good place to live. Don't be stupid."

Upon hearing this, He Yushui's pretty face turned red like an apple. She stamped her feet and said angrily, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I'm still young and I can't consider these things for now. I'll talk about them after my work is stable." As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ping's appearance appeared in her mind.

Qin Yanru was relieved after hearing this and said, "That's good. If you have someone you like, you must tell your sister-in-law so that she can check for you."

When Sha Zhu saw He Yushui's shy look, he felt as if the cabbages he had raised were being eaten by pigs, and he felt jealous.

In the blink of an eye, it was August and Qin Huairu had to go to work, otherwise she would not have money to give to Jia Zhangshi, so the child was left to be taken care of by Aunt Yi, and she gave Aunt Yi five yuan every month, of course, this money was paid by Yi Zhonghai.

Originally, Qin Huairu wanted to give the child to Jia Zhang, but how could Yi Zhonghai be willing to hand the child over to Jia Zhang, unless he was crazy.

But Qin Huairu couldn't not go to work, and he didn't want to use his own money to support that old hag Jia Zhang, so he had no choice but to turn to Aunt Yi.

Aunt Yi nodded and agreed because of their past relationship. After all, the extra five dollars a month could allow her to buy more delicious food for Xiaobao.

The weather in August was very hot. Jia Zhang was sitting at the door of her house in a daze. Ever since Bang Geng disappeared, Jia Zhang had become less talkative and would sit at the door in a daze from time to time.

West across the courtyard.

Under the shade of the grape trellis, the little girl Nuonuo and her brother Xiaobao were sitting on a cool mat playing. There was a piece of chilled watermelon on the stone table next to them. Wang Xiuzhi was sitting at the door, looking at the two little ones with a smile on her face.

Because the gate to the west wing was open, Jia Zhang was able to see what was going on in the courtyard. At this moment, Jia Zhang's eyes were full of resentment. Her grandson was lost, but they were having a happy gathering together. Why!

However, she only thought about it in her mind and didn't dare to have any bad intentions. After all, the Lin family was not someone to be trifled with, and she still had to wait for her eldest grandson to come back and honor her.

Qin Jingru came to the middle courtyard holding Xu Fang, and saw Qin Yanru holding He Xiao sitting at the door to enjoy the cool air, and smiled and said: "Sister Yanru, I came to play with you."

Qin Yanru looked at the small shaded area at her doorstep and said with a smile, "My doorstep is not good. We can't have a big party here. Why don't we go to the west wing and talk to Aunt Wang for a while?"

Qin Jingru smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Pingzi's house must be cool with a grape trellis."

West across the courtyard.

Wang Xiuzhi, who was watching her grandchildren playing, saw Qin Yanru and her sister come in and said with a smile: "Come quickly, there is freshly chilled watermelon here."

Qin Jingru and Qin Yanru didn't hesitate to put the child on the mat. Qin Yanru said to Nuonuo, "Nuonuo, can you help auntie look after little brother?"

Nuonuo blinked her big dark eyes and grinned, "Okay, Nuonuo will help auntie take care of the little brother and sister."

Qin Yanru touched Nuonuo's little head and said, "Okay, Nuonuo is so good."

They came and sat down next to Wang Xiuzhi, who took two pieces of watermelon and handed them to the two of them, saying, "It's a hot day, eat a piece of watermelon to cool down."

The two of them didn't hesitate to pick up the watermelon and started eating it. Qin Jingru was surprised and said, "Auntie Wang, why are your watermelons so delicious? Where did you buy them from? I'll ask Damao to buy some for me when I get home."

Wang Xiuzhi smiled and said, "I don't know either. Pingzi brought them back. Why don't you wait for him to come back and ask him?"

Qin Jingru said while chewing a watermelon: "Okay, I'll ask Brother Pingzi when he comes back."

The deaf old lady at Aunt Yi's door saw several people eating watermelon in the yard and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. On such a hot day, how comfortable it would be if she could eat a watermelon cooked with well water.

Auntie Yi naturally understood what the deaf old lady meant, so she smiled and said, "Old lady, please take good care of Xiaobao. I will go buy you a watermelon."

The deaf old lady smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed and said, "Okay, go ahead. Xiaobao, I'll take care of you."

Auntie Yi nodded and got up to leave to buy some watermelon. Jia Zhang, who was not far away, also got up and left with her eyes moving.

Not long after, Aunt Yi and Jia Zhang came back together, each holding a big watermelon in their hands.

Aunt Yi put the watermelon into the house and soaked it in water, waiting for a while for it to cool down before eating it, while Jia Zhang just opened it and ate it, with her mouth full of watermelon seeds.

Little Huaihua, who was living at the doorstep of Yi Zhonghai's house, saw Jia Zhang eating watermelon and swallowed her saliva with greed. Little Huaihua was still young and didn't know much, so she trotted over to Jia Zhang and said timidly, "Grandma, Huaihua wants to eat watermelon too." After saying that, she looked at Jia Zhang and put her little hand in her mouth.

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you eating watermelon when you're a money-loser? It's your luck that you're not starving to death." After that, she continued to eat the watermelon and ignored Xiao Huaihua.

When little Huaihua saw that Jia Zhang refused to give her watermelon, her big eyes were filled with tears of grievance. However, she knew that Jia Zhang was powerful, so she did not dare to cry out loud.

Auntie Yi couldn't help but sigh when she saw it, and walked over to take Xiao Huaihua back, and she didn't forget to call Xiao Dang and said, "Let's go eat watermelon with Auntie Yi."

The deaf old lady saw this and cursed, "Zhang Xiaohua, you damned girl, you are not a human being. You will get your retribution sooner or later."

Jia Zhang ignored her and ate her watermelon. This pissed off the old deaf lady. She was about to stand up and teach Jia Zhang a lesson, but was stopped by Aunt Yi, who said, "Forget it, old lady. You don't know what kind of person Jia Zhang is. It's not worth getting angry with her."

Jia Zhang heard everything about the conversation between the two. Now that the stick was lost, she had nothing to be afraid of. If the deaf old lady dared to cause trouble for her, she would definitely not tolerate it.

Steel rolling mill, at the entrance of the technical department.

Cui Dake was walking back and forth at the door. Ever since he saw Jiang Xiyue for the first time, Cui Dake could not forget her, so he came to the technical department every day. Everyone understood what that meant.

At first, Cui Dake was still able to enter the office. But after his purpose became clear, the young men in the technical department stopped tolerating him and would not let him into the office every time he came. After all, they also had their own little thoughts. If one of their own people succeeded her, it would be understandable, but if this flower was picked by an outsider, how could they be happy?

During her time in the technical department, Jiang Xiyue was almost indifferent to everyone, which earned her the title of a cold beauty.

As soon as Jiang Xiyue came out of the technical department, Cui Dake stopped her and asked, "Chief Jiang, where are you going? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Jiang Xiyue shook her head and said calmly: "Thank you, but no need."

On the way to the toilet, Jiang Xiyue felt Cui Dake following her, and her brows couldn't help but frown.

When Jiang Xiyue entered the women's restroom, Cui Dake looked around and found that there was no one, so he prepared to climb the wall to peek. However, as soon as he moved, he was discovered by Jiang Xiyue in the restroom. Her eyes turned cold and she pointed a lightning ball at Cui Dake.

Cui Dake, who had not yet climbed up the wall, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground. The scream immediately alarmed many people. When Jiang Xiyue came out, she saw Cui Dake lying on the ground with his body charred, and there seemed to be a smell of coke.

He thought to himself that if he wasn't afraid of someone losing their life, he would have controlled the thunder ball, which would have killed Cui Dake in one blow.

Cui Dake was sent to the hospital by the workers, while Jiang Xiyue returned to the technical department.

Office of the Chief of Police.

Ya Ru came in from outside and said, "Brother Pingzi, Cui Dake from our factory was struck by lightning and has been sent to the hospital."

Lin Ping frowned when he heard this. How could he be struck by lightning? This was even more difficult than winning the lottery. Then he remembered that Jiang Xiyue had the attribute of lightning, and shook his head and said, "I don't think it was struck by lightning."

Ya Ru understood instantly and looked at Lin Ping and said, "Could it be that girl Xi Yue? But why would she kill Cui Dake?"

Lin Ping knew what kind of person Cui Dake was. If he hadn't offended Jiang Xiyue, how could Jiang Xiyue have dealt with him? However, Cui Dake even dared to have thoughts about his own woman, which meant that he was seeking death, so he got up and left the office.

At the entrance of the technical department.

Jiang Xiyue had just returned for a while when she heard her colleague say that someone was looking for her at the door. She went to the door and saw that it was Lin Ping. Her pretty face turned red and she asked, "Brother Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Ping smiled and said, "There are too many people here, let's talk somewhere else."

Jiang Xiyue nodded obediently after hearing that, and followed Lin Ping out of the technical department. The technicians who had been staring at this place were stunned. It was the first time they saw Jiang Xiyue being shy. Usually, Jiang Xiyue had a face that said "keep away from strangers".

One of the technicians said, "Fuck, isn't Director Lin married? Why is he here to see our Deputy Section Chief Jiang?"

Another technician said, "Maybe he came to discuss business with Section Chief Jiang."

After hearing this, everyone thought about it and realized that with Jiang Xiyue's background, how could she be someone else's lover? It was simply impossible, so they all felt relieved.

In the small garden, Jiang Xiyue blushed and said, "Brother Lin, why did you come to see me at this time?" This was the first time they met alone since the last time, so Jiang Xiyue felt a little nervous.

Lin Ping reached out and rubbed Jiang Xiyue's little head and said, "Tell me, how did Cui Dake offend you and make you use the thunder ball to deal with him?"

Jiang Xiyue got angry when Cui Dake was mentioned, and immediately showed a childish look and said angrily: "Cui Dake is a beast. He actually wanted to peek at me when I went to the toilet, so I struck him with lightning."
