When Zhao Xuelin came into the room, still holding Jiang Weiguo in her arms, she slowly coaxed him into the cradle. While rocking him, she looked at the money on the bed. Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows proudly. Zhao Xuelin picked up the stacks of money and started counting them. Jiang Feng ignored her and went out to fetch water to wash the money.

When Jiang Feng came in and hadn't finished counting yet, Jiang Feng pushed her twice. Zhao Xuelin frowned and looked at Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng whispered, "Count to integers, and then continue counting after washing. Put it on the table over there, I won't touch it."

Zhao Xuelin rolled her eyes at Jiang Feng, quickly finished counting in her hand, put the counted ones aside, and went out with the basin and towel. She came back in a few minutes later. Jiang Feng watched Jiang Weiguo fall asleep, and slowly moved the cradle to the side. Zhao Xuelin continued counting from what she had just done.

After counting everything, he said to Jiang Feng, "No, I don't remember that much. It should be around 3,500. Did you put more money in?"

"Yes, I was thinking that since it's your first time saving money, 3800 yuan would be a good amount. And March th happens to be Women's Day, so I'll give you a festive number so that you can remember it for a while."

Zhao Xuelin said, "You usually seem so smart, why are you so stupid today? This is all the money I have. I must keep some for living expenses. How can I save it all?"

Jiang Feng slapped his head and said, "You don't have any money on you, so a ten or twenty bucks will be enough. The bank is about to close this month anyway."

Zhao Xuelin rolled her eyes, snuggled into Jiang Feng's arms, and said coquettishly, "No more, I know you must have more on you, can you take some more as living expenses, it's so hard to make up the whole number."

Jiang Feng stretched out his hand and lifted Zhao Xuelin's chin, saying, "It's not impossible, but it depends on your performance. If you perform well, of course there will be no problem."

Zhao Xuelin said charmingly: "Oh, I can't do it, you know that."

"Why not?" Jiang Feng leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear. Zhao Xuelin raised her hand and hit Jiang Feng a few times, then rolled her eyes and lowered her head.

By the next morning, many people in the yard had gone out early and the house was locked. It seemed that Jia Zhang's incident had scared everyone. The money disappeared without a trace and there was no clue. No matter how rich or poor the family was, they had no idea.

Those who had some savings went to the bank with their household registration, while those who didn't have much simply kept the money on them. From what Jia Zhang said, the money on them was not lost.

Zhao Xuelin and Li Xiaoyan went out with Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu in the morning. They took them to the bank and told them to be careful. Then they got on their bikes and went to the factory.

Yi Zhonghai also arrived at the factory with a mission. As soon as he got to work, he went to ask for leave for Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu was very busy today. After waiting for Yi Zhonghai to leave, she took out all the money she had saved and told the two children to stay at home and not go out.

After saying that he would come back to pick it up later, Qin Huairu also hurried to the bank. Due to time constraints, when Qin Huairu arrived at the bank, Zhao Xuelin and the others had finished their business. Since they came out, they walked towards the vegetable market again.

After Qin Huairu finished the formalities, she left a few dozen yuan on her and hurried back to the courtyard. She still had to take her child to the street office and the Women's Federation. After finishing her business, she had to go to the hospital in the afternoon. Her day was fully scheduled.

After returning to the courtyard, Qin Huairu looked back at the Jia family when he reached the door. The door was still closed, so they probably hadn't gotten up yet. Qin Huairu shook his head, went into the house, called Xiaodang and Huaihua, took yesterday's injury report, closed the door and went out.

I first went to the street office to inquire. I found out that I had remarried and my daughter was still at my late husband's home, but her family members were abusing the child, and I wanted to get my daughter back.

After hearing what happened, the aunt from the street office also looked at the injury report. There were not only new injuries, but also old injuries. She could not believe that in the new society, there would still be such vicious mothers-in-law and vicious grandmothers. She immediately grabbed people and went to arrest Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu begged bitterly, I just want to transfer the child’s household registration out and not let the child live with her. I don’t want to do anything to my mother-in-law. Although my husband is dead, I still have feelings for her. Now I just want the child back, and we just don’t have to do anything in the future.

Aunt Zhang also looked at Qin Huairu with new eyes. At least she was a person who cherished the old times. From what she said, her husband had been dead for six or seven years, and she had been relying on her own work to support a family of four. Now she had remarried and was still supporting her mother-in-law. If she had not been wronged this time and found out that her child was being abused at home, she would probably have swallowed her anger.

Aunt Zhang said directly: "Don't think too much. I will take you to find the comrades from the Women's Federation. Then we will go to the yard together to see what she means. If she agrees, it's fine. If she doesn't agree, don't blame us for taking coercive measures."

Qin Huairu had something to hide, so she naturally didn't dare to arrest anyone right away. She said, "Sister, no, not for now. I came here today just to consult. I still need to go back and have a good talk with her. If she is willing to solve it properly, there is no need to trouble the government. After all, her son is dead, and now I have to take my granddaughter away."

Aunt Zhang sighed, thinking that she was also a pitiful person, and her tone softened: "Go back and talk to her nicely. It would be best if she agrees. You can solve it privately. If she disagrees, come to me. You can't let the child suffer any injustice."

Qin Huairu thanked him repeatedly and said that she had already taken the child over and just wanted to go through the formal procedures to avoid any future entanglements.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Zhang, Qin Huairu went to the Women's Federation again. The Women's Federation could not tolerate such a thing of favoring boys over girls, and only after Qin Huairu had talked his mouth dry did they give him a chance. They told him to talk to them first, and when the Women's Federation came, they would arrest people directly.

After asking around, Qin Huairu had an idea in her mind and knew what Jia Zhang wanted. However, this matter still required the cooperation of Yi Zhonghai and she would discuss it with him when she returned. Qin Huairu took the two children back to the courtyard, made a quick meal at noon, and boiled an egg for each of the two children.

I arranged for the two children to have a rest at noon, and told them not to go out to play in the afternoon and wait until their mother had talked to their grandmother. Otherwise, who knows what she would do if they saw them.

Xiaodang and Huaihua nodded obediently. Qin Huairu touched the two children's heads, sighed and walked out. He came to the hospital alone in the middle of the day and found the doctor who had inserted the IUD at that time. He explained the situation and arranged the operation that afternoon. By the time Qin Huairu was able to walk and came back slowly by himself, it was almost 5 o'clock.

He forced himself to prepare all the dishes. He really didn't want to move. He waited until Yi Zhonghai came back and saw Qin Huairu lying on the bed. Qin Huairu said that she had a stomachache and couldn't cook. The dishes were all ready. There were steamed buns for lunch. Yi Zhonghai had to do it himself. He fried two dishes and made some millet porridge.

After finishing the meal, Yi Zhonghai brought millet porridge into the house, helped Qin Huairu up, and said while holding the porridge: "You should eat a little. Are you feeling better now? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "No need to go. I feel better now. Let Xiaodang take Huaihua to sleep first. I have something to tell you."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Just take a rest first. We can talk about it after you've rested. Anyway, the child is here now, so just rest assured."

At this time, Jia Zhang had already thought of how to deal with Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai, and planned to find them after dinner. There was still food for this month, but Jia Zhang wanted to eat something good, so she went to get the money, otherwise she would not notice that the money was missing.

Qin Huairu watched Yi Zhonghai feeding her porridge, and she knew that Jia Zhangshi would come at any time. She had no worries now, and she had lost her money, so she would definitely find a way to make up for it. There was no place for her to run wild in the yard except on Qin Huairu.

While eating, she told Yi Zhonghai about what she had asked at the street office and the Women's Federation today, which gave him some information. Yi Zhonghai was of course happy to hear this, and patted the bed excitedly and said, "They should send someone to take her back directly, so that everyone can have peace."

Qin Huairu whispered, "Don't think about that. She still has evidence against us. If she reveals it, none of us will benefit. If we all go to jail, what will happen to the two children?"

Yi Zhonghai had been enjoying the pleasures of his life and had long forgotten about being caught cheating. When he heard Qin Huairu talk about it, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and said, "What should we do? Are we just going to be blackmailed by her? We can only do what she says."

"That's definitely not possible. We need to find a way to hold something against her so that she doesn't dare to speak out. But it's a bit difficult now. She's alone and has no one to worry about. If she really has no food to eat, she will definitely come to our house to cause trouble, and..."

Seeing Qin Huairu hesitating and not finishing his words, Yi Zhonghai asked, "And what? Just say it directly."

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and said, "Zhong Hai, I have something to tell you. In fact, she forced me to get an IUD after I gave birth to Huaihua."

Yi Zhonghai only felt dizzy for a moment, but fortunately he was sitting on the bed. He supported himself with his hands and looked at Qin Huairu, with anger in his eyes.

Qin Huairu hurriedly continued, "Zhong Hai, you know that my family really couldn't make ends meet at that time. The rumors you heard in the factory were all true. There were several mouths to feed at home, and I was a woman, earning so little salary, and I couldn't learn anything.

Apart from this body, what can I do, but I have only had relationships with three men, the others were just casual affairs, and after I married you, I have never had any contact with those people again."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were bloodshot and he was breathing heavily. In fact, he knew in his heart that these things happened in the past. Since he married Qin Huairu, the two had basically been together, and there were indeed no rumors about her and that man in the factory.

However, as a man, he still felt uncomfortable, including the issue of whether he could have children. Although he himself could not have children, at that time the two of them signed an agreement to have children. Qin Huairu must have known that it was impossible to have children and she was lying to him.
