Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

"Huai Ru, what do you say, we should go find the old immortal?

If he could figure out that the deaf old lady was a traitor, then he could definitely figure out who was framing our Bang Geng.

It just so happens that we can go and ask him which immortal our Banggeng is the reincarnation of. Then we can bring back a statue of the Banggeng immortal!

So that these neighbors can come to worship day and night, so that our family will not be accepting their gifts in vain, what else can Director Wang say?"

As she spoke, there was no trace of anger on Jia Zhang's face anymore, instead she was filled with excitement and joy, and it was obvious that she thought her idea was very reliable.

Qin Huairu frowned and thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "The old immortal is the head of Baiyun Temple, can he just calculate these trivial matters for us?

Besides, Director Wang's words this time were very unpleasant. He will never allow our family to say that Banggeng is the reincarnation of a god again!"

Jia Zhang was in high spirits, thinking that she had come up with a brilliant idea that could solve all of the Jia family's current troubles and even enhance the reputation of her own Banggeng Immortal.

Moreover, if she invites back an immortal king from his previous reincarnation, she will just have to lie at home and count money for the rest of her life. So how can Jia Zhang tolerate Qin Huairu who disobeys her wishes?

She immediately scolded him, "Do you have any brains left? Are you qualified to be a mother? Are you still the mother of my grandson Banggengxianren?"

After being scolded for no reason, Qin Huairu's tears, which were already about to fall, could no longer be held back. They slid down her cheeks and hung down her chin. The light in the room shone brightly, revealing two tear marks on her face.

There was a look of misery and confusion. I was afraid that if Sha Zhu took a look at him, he would be so anxious that he wouldn't be able to sleep in the detention room tonight.

However, Jia Zhang in front of Qin Huairu didn't care about all this. When she saw Qin Huairu crying again, she became even more angry.

"Cry, cry, cry. All you do is cry all day long. You're such a good crybaby. No wonder our family is so poor!

I really doubt whether Dongxu was killed by your crying. Otherwise, considering that he could give birth to an immortal son, he must be a very blessed man. How could he die so early?

I shouldn't have listened to Dongxu in the first place. Marrying a country girl is a miserable life. Not only has she killed Dongxu, but now she is also dragging down our family's only hope - the Immortal Banggeng.

Don’t let him become an immortal or a high official, you must——!”

Hearing this, Qin Huairu could no longer hold back her emotions and immediately agreed in a tearful voice: "Mom, I will listen to you, I will listen to you. Let's go to Baiyun Temple tomorrow."

Qin Huairu raised her head as she spoke and begged:

"But mom, you have to promise me that if the old immortal refuses to say who is throwing dirty water on Bang Geng, and refuses to say which immortal is the reincarnation of Bang Geng, then we will return the food when we come back, okay?"

Originally, Jia Zhang was somewhat relieved to see Qin Huairu was so obedient to her, but when she heard what Qin Huairu said next, she immediately looked furious again.

He pointed his finger at her head and said, "You are so stupid. Fortunately, Bang Geng is not like you!

How could the old immortal not help us? Didn't you see how eager he was to take our Banggeng as his apprentice last time? It's his blessing that we're asking him for help now.

Listen to my mother, as long as we bring Bang Geng with us, he will be happy when he sees Bang Geng, and he will agree to whatever we say."

Qin Huairu was a little skeptical, but she did not see the old Taoist priest in the courtyard the last time he came, so now she could only nod her head at whatever Jia Zhang said.

Seeing Qin Huairu's behavior, Jia Zhangshi was dissatisfied but still had a soft heart, and comforted her again: "Huairu, I'm not blaming you for what I said, and everything that happened before is in the past.

The most important thing in our family now is Banggeng. Banggeng will definitely be successful and become a high-ranking official in the future. What we should do and what we can do now is not to hold him back, not to let others throw dirty water on him, and to take good care of him as he grows up.

Mom knows you’re having a hard time, but who in our family isn’t having a hard time?

Banggeng is already 12 and will soon be 13. You should just be patient for a few more years. When he becomes a high-ranking official, you can enjoy a peaceful and happy life. Mom is already so old. How many more years can she live? Can she still enjoy that happiness?

So what I’m worrying about now is all for your own good!”

Qin Huairu raised her head with tears in her eyes and looked at Jia Zhang: "Mom, I know!"

After saying this, Qin Huairu lowered her head and wiped away her tears. She had never believed in Jia Zhangshi, with her strong physique and the fact that she just ate and did no work every day.

In her opinion, it would not be too much to live another thirty or forty years at least!

She herself was exhausted physically and mentally every day. She was busy all day long at work, taking care of the family, and had not had a rest for several years. At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder who would live longer between her and Jia Zhang!

I guess it’s Jia Zhang who’s afraid!

Qin Huairu's tears welled up again as she thought about it.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was still so obedient, Jia Zhang was so moved that tears rolled down her face, and she relaxed a little. She was not afraid that Qin Huairu would be forced into a corner by her and would really abandon the Jia family.

In fact, she was not afraid of abandoning the Jia family. With Qin Huairu's looks and work, it would not be difficult for her to find another husband with her child. The difficult part was taking her mother-in-law, who was just waiting to die, with her.

That's why Jia Zhang would throw a tantrum in the yard for no reason, acting shamelessly and arrogantly, just to let Qin Huairu know that she, Jia Zhang, is not someone to be trifled with.

Even if Qin Huairu really found another husband, Jia Zhang would be able to make her family restless in order to intimidate Qin Huairu.

But sometimes, Jia Zhang was afraid that she would intimidate Qin Huairu too much and make her feel that she might as well die and give up the job, just like what happened just now.

So Jia Zhang would comfort Qin Huairu with words and give her a glimmer of hope. But how to strike the right balance was something that Jia Zhang had already figured out after more than four years.

When Dongxu had just had the accident for a year or two, she was really scared. She wished she could keep an eye on him when she slept, for fear that Qin Huairu would run away when she woke up and leave her three children behind.

But now!

——There is a greedy cat curled up next to the salted fish. She has been watching them for several years but they dare not take a step forward. Jia Zhang is now much more relieved about Qin Huairu.

In just a few years, when Qin Huairu is old and ugly, and when Banggeng grows up and becomes successful, she will not bother to control Qin Huairu like this!

By then, I'm afraid that even if she whips Qin Huairu, she won't leave!

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang felt that she had been worrying too much today. She even felt hungry and quickly stopped thinking about the beautiful life in the future.

She turned her head and looked at Qin Huairu and said softly, "Huairu, go cook first. It doesn't matter if you and I go hungry for a while!

We can’t let the three children suffer from hunger with us, they are growing up now!”

Qin Huairu thought it made sense, so she nodded, stood up, and went straight out to the stove to busy herself. She only raised her hand to wipe away her tears from time to time, perfectly embodying what it means to be a bullied young wife.

Combined with the quarrel and the sound of banging on the table in the Jia family's house just now, anyone can tell that the daughter-in-law of the Jia family is being punished by her evil mother-in-law again!

Yi Zhonghai, who lived next door, had been paying attention to what was happening at the Jia family. He only retracted his gaze when he saw Qin Huairu come out, stopped cleaning the yard, and turned back into the house.
