Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

When Zhang Yu received Xu Damao's call, he had already learned that Li Dawei had moved into the compound. When Xu Damao mentioned that he was willing to reduce the price of the house from 300,000 yuan to a total of 180,000 yuan, Zhang Yu sneered and bluntly concluded that the house was only worth 10,000 yuan, and it was up to him to decide whether to sell it or not. Anyway, the place had long been turned into a staff dormitory, so one more room was nothing.

Xu Damao was given another three days to think.

Xu Damao returned to the compound with a look of tears on his face. He had seen the construction team gradually moving in. Among the piles of decoration materials in the compound, there were an astonishing number of cement bags.

When he got home, he was shocked to find that the house was covered with dust, and the bed sheets and pillowcases seemed to smell like dust. How could he live in such a place? Xu Damao decided to move back to his parents' house that night. However, his parents also encountered obstacles. They were worried that the house would be occupied by others, and they resolutely drove him out.

Xu Damao returned home unwillingly and started cleaning, but was always disturbed by the noisy construction workers. He saw them having fun in the yard, some playing mahjong, some playing cards, which was extremely noisy and seriously affected his sleep.

He wanted to argue with them, but he was timid because he saw the momentum of more than ten people, so he had to endure it. The arrival of this group of workers made Xu Damao's life quite inconvenient. There was no place to go to the toilet, and he couldn't win the fight to use the faucet.

On the other side, Zhang Yu fulfilled his promise and came to the Jingcheng Hotel where Qin Huai Ru Ru was. Xiao Dang and Huai were already waiting there. When the two sisters saw Mr. Zhang, they immediately stood up and saluted to greet him.

Qin Huairu felt sour. Although she had come to the box to wait ten minutes ago, her daughters still ignored her. Zhang Yu said to them gracefully, "Xiaodang, Huai, congratulations on your family reunion."

The two looked at each other. Although they had some doubts about the party arranged by Zhang Yu, they did not express it, thinking that this was a small event organized by Zhang Yu. Qin Huairu knew that it would be impossible to invite her daughter in her own name, so she borrowed Zhang Yu's name.

After the four of them sat down, Qin Huairu asked the waiter to serve the dishes. He noticed the cold relationship between the three women. There was almost no verbal communication between them, and there was no eye contact at all. Zhang Yu noticed Qin Huairu's trick.

Taking the initiative to break the silence, Zhang Yu asked, "Sister, Brother Zhuzi is unable to attend tonight due to some matters. Can you tell me how long you plan to stay?" He glanced at his daughters in front of him.

Qin Huai Ruru glanced at her daughters' expressions and replied, "Originally I didn't have any long-term plans and wanted to take Xiaodang and Huai with me, but they insisted on not giving up their lives in the capital, so I had to stay a little longer and wait for the right opportunity before making plans." Then Huai countered with cold words:

"You disappeared for so many years, and now you are just talking nonsense and pretending to be kind. I am married and have a family, so I can't go with you."

Xiao Dang also agreed, "That's right. We have lost our mother since you left. We don't need a mother like this."

Qin Huairu's chin trembled slightly. The difficulties in her past life forced her to choose that semi-public livelihood, which became an indelible flaw in her life. Facing her daughters' revelations, she felt extremely painful, as if she had lost her understanding.

Zhang Yu listened to the quarrel quietly, but in fact he supported Huai and Xiaodang in his heart. Qin Huairu's life was difficult at that time, and although her salary was not much, she could still support a group of people. Her problem was laziness and inaction.

Looking back, she had worked in a factory for many years for her husband's career. If she had been diligent and enterprising, promotion would not have been impossible, but she maintained a low salary for a few years.

After all, if Qin Huairu insisted that she was unwilling to endure hardship, it was just because she wanted to find a long-term meal ticket - to rely on others to support herself and her entire family.

Qin Huairu was engaged in a half-open business, which was necessary for survival, but it was her own voluntary choice and no one forced her.

Zhang Yu may have hurt her, but he may have felt guilty about the death of his unborn child. As for the rest, he did not owe Qin Huai Ruru anything.

Part of the reason why Zhang Yu cared for Xiaodang and Huai over the years was to comfort his deceased sons, but more importantly, he valued their self-reliance and self-improvement.

"Xiaodang, Huai, although Sister Qin is your biological mother and may have chosen the wrong path at first, she still cares about you. Remember, she always gives priority to you three children in any interests." Zhang Yu advised.

"Mr. President, I know you are a reasonable person and don't want to see such family disputes. But the problems in our family are too complicated to be summarized in a few words." Xiao Dang responded respectfully.

Zhang Yu sighed: "Originally, I shouldn't interfere too much in your family affairs, but it is undeniable that she is your real mother."

Huai said bluntly: "I really would rather be single than have a bad one. I don't want a mother who will only humiliate myself." These words were like a thunderclap, and Qin Huairu felt as if she was electrocuted, and tears poured down her face.

Looking at her mother's painful expression, Huai continued, "Do you know how we sisters struggled to grow up in this world? Do you know how the neighbors evaluated you? When we were in trouble, how much we longed for your company?"

"I'm sorry, Huai, Xiaodang. Mom came back this time to make up for your mistakes." Qin Huairu said this, trying to use money as a tool to restore family affection.

"Compensation?" Xiao Dang sneered, "We don't expect compensation, we just want to live a quiet life." Obviously he did not trust his mother's kindness.

Realizing that Qin Huairu was trying to impress him with money, Xiaodang continued: "We can support ourselves and don't care about your money."

Looking at her sister's bulging belly, Qin Huairu said in a trembling voice: "Huai, you are pregnant." Even Zhang Yu beside her was surprised.

The two sisters got married late due to the hardships of life and became pregnant in their thirties, which makes them considered elderly pregnant women.

Huai covered her belly to confirm, without flinching: "Yes, I am pregnant, but this has nothing to do with you."

Then Xiaodang stood up and held his sister's hand: "I hope today's meeting will be the last chance for you and me." After that, the two of them greeted Zhang Yu and turned to leave.

Qin Huairu hurriedly chased after him, but soon returned disappointed.

To Mr. Zhang, she said dejectedly, "I'm sorry for letting you see this." She sat there limply, powerless.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu comforted them: "They suffered too much in their childhood and need time to adjust. I am willing to give them space." His understanding was obvious.

"I sincerely want to do something to compensate them, but I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it. What do you think of my plan last night?" Qin Huairu said in an earnest tone.

In fact, Zhang Yu knew the key points behind this banquet. Before attending the banquet, he had learned about Zhao Zihao's preliminary investigation into Qin Huairu's situation.

According to the entry and exit records, her whereabouts were indeed found, and her status when checking into the Beijing hotel was confirmed to be that of a returned overseas Chinese.

However, Zhang Yu studied her entry and exit records and realized that there must be something hidden. The records showed that Qin Huairu was frequently in and out of the country and had gone to Chicago three days before they met.

Perhaps she arranged this trip specifically in order to make the world believe that she was an overseas Chinese returning to China.

As for today's dinner, Qin Huairu seemed to want to restore her relationship with her daughter, but she actually had other thoughts.

After all, why should we invite outsiders to attend the reunion dinner among three people?
