After getting the money, Jia Dongxu felt relieved, but he was still worried about Jia Zhangshi, so he gave her some advice before leaving.

"Mom, Huairu and I are leaving first. You have to control your temper. Outsiders won't be so accommodating to you."

Jia Zhang now knew that she could not escape punishment, and feelings of anxiety and fear surged in her heart. She held Jia Dongxu's hand tightly.

"Son, you have to be more careful and let me suffer less. I have suffered enough to raise you."

Listening to Jia Zhang's pleading, Jia Dongxu recalled his past memories.

After the sudden death of Old Jia, Jia Zhang's temperament changed drastically in order to support the family, and he saw it all.

Jia Dongxu's eyes were red, and he choked up: "Mom, don't worry. As long as I can make Zhuzi vent his anger, I will kneel down for him."

Qin Huairu stood aside, looking at the mother and son who were crying in front of her, she curled her lips slightly, feeling very disdainful.

She thought to herself, if you, Jia Zhang, had honestly paid the money, you wouldn't have ended up like this.

Not only was the rent less than a hundred yuan, but the Jia family's reputation was also ruined by Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu could even imagine how others would point fingers at her after this matter became known.

Seeing that they had almost vented their emotions, Qin Huairu secretly pulled Jia Dongxu, reminding him that it was almost time to leave.

Jia Dongxu calmed down and wiped away his tears: "Mom, let's go first."

Jia Zhang could only let go and watch them leave.

When she reached the door, Qin Huairu suddenly stopped and grabbed Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu turned his head and looked at her with some confusion: "Huai Ru, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Huairu looked up at Jia Dongxu and said softly, "Brother Dongxu, go find the uncle and make the decision. I'll stay here and stay with our mother."

After hearing Qin Huairu's proposal, Jia Dongxu thought about it for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Huai Ru, you are really thoughtful. Then you stay, I will go to discuss this matter with Master."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Qin Huairu hurriedly reached out to hold Jia Dongxu, leaned close to him and whispered: "Remember to keep some of this money and borrow it from Master first."

Jia Dongxu mistakenly thought that Qin Huairu was worried about the expenses of the future child and wanted to relieve his pressure, and he was touched.

He looked at Qin Huairu affectionately and nodded solemnly.

Qin Huairu was thinking of borrowing the money first and then dealing with future matters later. Maybe she could get it for free.

She looked at Jia Dongxu's back as he walked away, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she walked back into the room, leaving the door ajar.

Jia Zhang stared with wide eyes as she watched Qin Huairu walking towards her. She was about to ask a question but was interrupted by Qin Huairu.

"Mom, don't say anything yet. What do you think of what I will say today?"

Qin Huairu was going to take her gold coins today, so she stopped pretending.

When Jia Zhang saw that Qin Huairu was no longer as submissive as before, she became furious and her face darkened as she was about to explode.

Qin Huairu took a step closer and glared at her fiercely: "Come on! Do it! It just so happens that I can't afford to raise this child, so you, the grandmother, have to end it."

Although Jia Zhang looked down on Qin Huairu, she still attached great importance to her grandson. Her arrogance disappeared in an instant and she was forced to take a step back.

After all, she has not evolved into a necromancer yet. Her son is still alive, and she also has a grandson, so she still cares about both of them.

Jia Zhang gnashed her teeth and stared at Qin Huairu in front of her, growling viciously: "Okay! Qin Huairu, I really underestimated you. But don't forget, I will come back."

"Xinghua Temple!"

Qin Huairu stared at Jia Zhang's face, reading out the place name word by word, while carefully observing the changes in her expression.

When she suddenly heard this name that was weighing on her heart, a trace of astonishment flashed across Jia Zhang's face.

Her eyes narrowed slightly and she looked at Qin Huairu with a hint of fear.

"How did you..."

Her words stopped abruptly, and she was obviously trying hard to control her emotions.

Jia Zhang closed her eyes and tried hard to calm her inner panic.

Qin Huairu didn't know what this meant, but when she saw Jia Zhangshi so panicked, she knew that her idea was correct.

She was secretly proud of herself, she didn't expect that this incident could bring such benefits.

He Yuzhu did not lie to her. This place name could really scare Jia Zhang.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but smile.

"Mom, as the saying goes, if you don't want others to know, don't do it. Don't you think you can get away with it?"

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang's trembling fingers and deliberately said some ambiguous words to make Jia Zhang believe that she really knew something.

Jia Zhang opened her eyes, looked at Qin Huairu deeply, turned around and sat down on a stool nearby.

She took a deep breath, her eyes regained their calmness, and looked at Qin Huairu: "You really surprised me. Tell me, what do you want today? At worst, both sides will be destroyed."

Qin Huairu showed a triumphant smile on her face and waved her hands: "Mom, you are too kind. How can telling this kind of thing to others do good to my family? I just feel sorry for Brother Dongxu, and I want you to give us some money to help us."

Jia Zhang no longer looked down on Qin Huairu and nodded in agreement. She thought back to the people who were shot at that year and didn't want to increase the punishment this time.

"Look, haven't we reached a consensus? If you give us money, we will just be grateful. When you come out, we will still take care of you. Isn't that good?" Qin Huairu continued to persuade.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu who was pretending to be serious in front of her and felt disgusted. She was a thousand-year-old fox, why was she performing "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" in front of her?

She was too lazy to expose him, and just waved her hand impatiently: "Don't say these useless things. Just tell me, how much money do you want?"

There are not many opportunities like this, so Qin Huairu is not in a hurry to end it.

She didn't respond and continued, "Mom, when I first got married, I wanted to change my household registration to a city hukou, but you stopped me because of my family's land. It also made my family very unhappy, and I have rarely returned to my parents' home in the past few years."

When Jia Zhang heard her mention this, a trace of regret flashed through her heart, but who knew that she would take it back later?

Who doesn’t have a rural household registration? She still feels so wronged!

"Come on, come on, stop talking about this useless stuff. Tell me how much you have already said, or it will be gone. I'll just go to jail."

Qin Huairu felt that the time was right and nodded gently: "Three hundred!"

"How much?" Jia Zhang was startled and suddenly stood up from the stool and shouted loudly.

Qin Huairu raised her eyebrows and looked into Jia Zhang's eyes.

"I don't care about the past. The money you gave me for my household expenses and Brother Dongxu's wages in the past few years is limited. This amount is just to get back the wages."

Jia Zhang sat back with a gloomy expression and glared at Qin Huairu fiercely.

Seeing her like this, Qin Huairu stood there with a smile, silent and waiting for Jia Zhang's reply.

The dim holding room fell into silence, with Jia Zhang's panting echoing in it.

After weighing the pros and cons, Jia Zhang closed her eyes in pain and said in a hoarse voice: "Forget it, there is a layer on the bottom of the bedside table, and there is a passbook inside."

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up. She asked for so much and didn't think she could really get it, so she boldly asked for 300. In the end, Jia Zhang agreed without bargaining, which made her couldn't be more satisfied.

In all her life, this was the first time she had seen so much money. Although she hadn't seen the cash yet, wasn't it coming soon?

After Jia Zhang said this, she felt relieved and the pressure on her heart was relieved a lot.

She sighed and looked at Qin Huairu with a complicated expression: "Get out of my sight immediately. I don't want to see you."

Qin Huairu had achieved her goal, and she was much more pleasing to Jia Zhangshi who had exploded with gold coins.

She didn't care what the other person said, smiled and bowed to say goodbye: "Okay, Mom, take care. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he walked out of the room quickly without hesitation.

In the office of the deputy director of the subdistrict office, Fu Zhen raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was almost time.

He picked up the document on the table, slowly stood up, and walked steadily towards the door.

Not far from the door was Director Wang Xia's office. Fu Zhen knocked gently on the door and waited patiently for a response.

"Come in!" Wang Xia's familiar voice came through the wooden door.

Fu Zhen pushed the door open and walked in with a smile. When he looked up, he saw Wang Xia and He Yuzhu talking happily, both with smiles on their faces.

Seeing this scene, he felt relieved and smiled even more brightly: "Hey, Director, I didn't expect you to have guests here?"

"This is He Yuzhu, a progressive youth from our neighborhood. He came to the neighborhood office today to handle some matters."

After Wang Xia introduced He Yuzhu, she asked him, "Director Fu, do you have any urgent business?"

Fu Zhen raised the document in his hand and responded with a smile: "Isn't there a document that needs both of us to sign? I've brought it to you."

As he spoke, he gently placed the document in his hand on the desk and motioned for her to check it.

Wang Xia reached out and took the document, then lowered her head and began to read it carefully.

Fu Zhen turned around and looked He Yuzhu up and down quickly with a look of approval on his face.

"Comrade Xiao He, you are young and promising! Look at your physique. Do you want to join the army?"

When He Yuzhu met this unfamiliar deputy director, he didn't know whether his words were true or not, and he didn't need Fu Zhen's recommendation either.

He stood up, smiling: "Director, thank you for your kindness. I don't have this idea for the time being, I have a little sister to take care of at home."

"Oh, it's okay. I just saw that you are in good health, so I said it casually. You don't have to mind it." Fu Zhen found it reasonable for him to refuse.

He changed the subject and asked unconsciously, "What are you here to deal with today?"

Although He Yuzhu felt a little strange, he still told the truth. After all, it was not a secret.

Fu Zhen nodded slightly after hearing this, and caught a glimpse of Wang Xia who had finished reading the document and was signing it.

He walked forward and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder affectionately: "Young people have good vision. This matter will be taken over by our street office. It will not be reported directly to the police. Your neighbor can also be punished less severely."

After Fu Zhen finished speaking, he turned to look at Wang Xia and said, "Director, have you signed it? I'll leave first."

Wang Xia closed the pen, stood up and handed him the document: "Director Fu, it's really hard for you to come here in person for such a small matter."

"Hey, don't we just have some time? Just come over here." Fu Zhen laughed, "Director Wang, I'm leaving now."

"Okay, then I won't see you off." Wang Xia looked at him with a smile.

Fu Zhen raised his hand, turned and left the office.

After Fu Zhen left, Wang Xia turned to look at He Yuzhu with a meaningful smile on her face: "Zhuzi, do you understand?"

"Ah? What's going on?" He Yuzhu saw the expression on Wang Xia's face and immediately realized, "Is this deputy director here to beg for mercy?"

Wang Xia nodded with satisfaction and glanced at her watch: "Let's go, the house deed has been completed. Let's go and negotiate with the Jia family, and the matter will be settled."

He Yuzhu was still thinking about this inexplicable person. He nodded and followed Wang Xia out.
