Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

Qin Huairu couldn't believe her ears.

He asked Jia Zhang to confirm: "What did you say? Want me to get an IUD?"

"Yes, I just want to get an IUD!"

"Dongxu is gone, what's the point of me getting an IUD? How can you be so mean to others?" Qin Huairu's voice changed.

Jia Zhang explained: "I'm not insulting you, I'm doing this for your own good and for the good of this family. Do you really think it's easy for two women like us to raise three children? You only make more than 20 yuan a month when you take over. The children eat, go to school, buy clothes, etc. It doesn't cost money. Why is Yan Bugui so stingy? He only makes more than 50 yuan a month, but he still has a hard life. Do you think what you earn is enough?"

"But that's not possible...!" Qin Huairu stopped talking halfway through. She certainly knew what Jia Zhang meant.

Jia Zhang said, "What's the big deal? You're not covered in gold and silver. Everyone has gone through the same thing. Once the boy grows up, our lives will be better! Before that, you have to be willing to sacrifice yourself and not let anyone catch you. If you don't get an IUD, what if you get pregnant?"

Now Qin Huairu was really speechless and had to admit that what Jia Zhang said made sense. Food, oil, salt and firewood all cost money. Before, Jia Dongxu had to do odd jobs in addition to working to make ends meet.

The salary I get now is much less than what Jia Dongxu got before. If I don’t think of a solution, how can I survive?

So she responded softly: "Okay, I got it, I'll go to the hospital after I finish reporting tomorrow!"

"Oh, that's right. From now on, when we are outside, one of us will play the good cop and the other the bad cop. This way, no one will dare to bully us, you know?" Jia Zhang advised.

"I see!"

"Okay, go to sleep, you still have to go to work tomorrow!"

Jia Zhang's snoring could be heard soon, but Qin Huairu couldn't sleep any more.

What her mother-in-law said just now completely shattered her three views. Is this the fate of a widow?

Didn't I have any problems before? Oh, no, I was pregnant at that time and didn't have a job. Naturally, I didn't see many people at home. And He Yuzhu was also staring at me!

Ever since I got married at the age of 18, the men in the yard have often glanced at me, but they restrained themselves because of my neighbor.

It seems that such days will no longer exist in the future. Qin Huairu sighed and covered her head with the quilt.

The next morning, Qin Huairu got ready.

When Yi Zhonghai was about to go out, he followed him out and said, "Uncle, go to work!"

"Well, Huairu, are you ready? Okay, let's go together. I'll take you to report!" Yi Zhonghai glanced at Qin Huairu, who was dressed pretty much.

"Thank you then!"

Arriving at the steel rolling mill, Yi Zhonghai led Qin Huairu to the office building.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, he ran into Li Huaide who was also walking in.

"Old Yi, where are you going?" Li Huaide also noticed Qin Huairu beside Yi Zhonghai, and his eyes lit up at that moment.

Yi Zhonghai stopped and said, "Good morning, Director Li. This is Qin Huairu from our hospital. Today is her first day at work. I brought her here to report!"

"That's great. I have to go upstairs too. I'll take her there. You should go to work quickly, or you'll be late!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Yi Zhonghai then turned to Qin Huairu and said, "This is Director Li from our logistics department!"

Qin Huairu called out coquettishly, "Hello, Director Li!"

"Well, you too, come on, follow me upstairs!"

Li Huaide walked up the stairs, and Qin Huairu followed him, taking two steps at a time: "Well, your name is Qin Huairu, right? Which department are you assigned to?"

"I'm the successor and should be working in the workshop!" Qin Huairu replied.

"Oh, the work in this workshop is hard. You, a woman, may not be able to bear it!" Li Huaide said with pretended concern.

"Hey, it's not that hard, it's good enough to have a job!"

"That's true, but the workshop is really not very suitable for female comrades. You can try it first. If you don't feel comfortable, you can come to my office and find me. I will see if I can help you adjust your position!"

Qin Huairu was indeed a white lotus. Although she had not yet fully awakened, she immediately understood the hidden meaning in Li Huaide's words. Her expression changed slightly, and then she smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Director Li. If I really can't adapt, I'll have to trouble you again!"

"These are all trivial matters! Okay, we are at the Personnel and Labor Department, come in!" Li Huaide then walked into the Personnel Department first and said to the people inside: "Xiao Wang, come and help her with the procedures for taking over the job!"

With Li Huaide's words, the people from the Personnel Department cut in line and completed the process for Qin Huairu. After that, Li Huaide took her to the finance and warehouse to get her food certificate, meal tickets and labor insurance. Only then did Li Huaide separate from her.

After coming out of the office building, Qin Huairu looked at the sky. It was clearly blue, but she felt that it was not that beautiful.

After a while, Qin Huairu calmed down, walked out of the factory gate and headed towards the hospital.

There was a time difference between him and Qin Huairu and the others. When Qin Huairu left the factory gate, Li Bowen arrived at the factory with Lu Yan and Chen Xiaoyun.

With Li Bowen around, the two of them completed the procedures much faster. After everything was done, Li Bowen took them to their respective jobs. Lu Yan was assigned to be a waitress in the canteen. She usually just cleaned the place and didn't have to do anything else. This was a special arrangement by Li Huaide.

As for Chen Xiaoyun, Li Bowen arranged him to work in the food warehouse. Not only was the work less tiring, but he could also see him often. Moreover, Li Bowen was familiar with the people in charge of the warehouse and could help them if there was anything.

"Okay, Xiaoyun, then you stay here with Sister Shen to learn about the situation. I'll go help Yueyue get her school registration!" Li Bowen arranged for Chen Xiaoyun, then turned to the warehouse manager and said, "Sister Shen, I'm leaving my daughter's mother in your care. Don't let anyone bully her!"

Sister Shen was over 40 years old and had seen everything. After seeing the two people's state, she knew what was going on. But it was none of her business, so she smiled and said, "I know. Don't worry. With me here, no one dares to bully her. You should just go and do your thing."

After Li Bowen walked away, Sister Shen whispered to her, "Bowen and I are siblings, and he doesn't treat me as an outsider, so it's okay in front of me. But you should be careful in front of other people in the factory. Don't affect his future."

Chen Xiaoyun nodded: "Don't worry, sister, I know what to do!"

"Oh, that's right. Come on, I'll take you around our warehouse. There's actually nothing to do usually. It's just registering the materials in and out of the warehouse!" After saying that, he led Chen Xiaoyun deeper into the warehouse.
