As Xu Fugui's matter was dealt with, the He family's life fell into peace again, and He Daqing also returned to normal. As for whether he had any connection with Tao Ying, He Ping'an was not quite sure.

The dull days were like quicksand in the hand, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the Jia family to hold a full-month banquet for Banggeng. He Ping'an also released Jia Zhang back to the courtyard the day before the full-month banquet as agreed.

That evening, after everyone finished their meal and were chatting in groups of three or five, they saw Director Wang from the Street Office walking into the courtyard with Jia Zhang, followed by two police officers.

"Everyone is here, let me tell you something: you all should know about what happened to Jia Zhang a while ago. She came back today not because she was acquitted, but because the government was grateful to the Jia family for their good attitude in admitting guilt and their active and proactive admission of mistakes. That's why they released Jia Zhang to attend the full moon banquet for her grandson Jia Geng." Director Wang was of course invited by He Ping'an to come and support Jia Zhang, otherwise the Jia family might not be able to get together a table for the full moon banquet tomorrow.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, the government will let you go back for one day because of your deep love for your children. Don't even think about running away. These two police officers will be watching you!" After Director Wang explained the reason to everyone, he warned Ms. Jia Zhang.

"Please rest assured, Director Wang. As long as I can attend my grandson's full moon banquet and see him again, I will be willing to die and will not run away." Perhaps thinking of her future life, Jia Zhang choked up a little.

"Alas, if I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place. We are all neighbors of the Jia family. Please help with the Jia family's full-month banquet." Director Wang looked at the choking Jia Zhang, and seemed to be moved with sympathy, so he asked the people in the courtyard to help organize the Jia family's full-month banquet.

"Deputy Director He, what do you think?" Director Wang said, looking at He Ping'an.

Director Wang was just asking He Pingan if he had anything else to say, but He Pingan pretended not to understand and just followed Director Wang's words and said

"I know what Director Wang means. I will attend Jia Geng's full moon banquet tomorrow!"

Director Wang's face froze at first, then he seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Yi Zhonghai.

"Director Wang, as Jia Dongxu's master, I have no choice but to do my duty. Don't worry!" He Ping'an deliberately misunderstood, but Yi Zhonghai really misunderstood. He thought Director Wang asked him to help organize the Jia family's full moon banquet.

Director Wang was speechless when he heard Yi Zhonghai's words: He Ping'an had a purpose, so he said that on purpose. Do you, Yi Zhonghai, also have a purpose? Didn't I ask you for help? I just guessed that you were going to be in trouble.

"Well, that's great. We should help each other if we live in the same courtyard!" Director Wang was speechless but his words were full of praise.

"Deputy Director He, please arrange accommodation for these two public security comrades tonight!" This time, Director Wang did not allow He Ping'an to speak freely, but made a direct request.

"Well, just live in my house. There are many rooms and it's right in the central courtyard." He Ping'an nodded in agreement.

Director Wang said a few more words and turned to leave. Then everyone in the courtyard looked at He Ping'an.

"I'll be back tomorrow at noon to attend the banquet!" He Ping'an repeated what he had just said and then turned around and went home.

"What is the Jia family's rule?" Yan Bugui asked

"Old Yan, please wait for a moment and we will discuss this. I will give you an answer later." After saying this, Jia Zhang walked towards the Jia family. Jia Dongxu and his wife thanked Yan Bugui and left too!

"I still hold the same opinion. We should make it more lively!" Jia Zhang ignored Yi Zhonghai who followed in and said to Jia Dongxu.

"Mother-in-law, it's not appropriate to hold a grand ceremony for our family's current situation!" Qin Huairu was no longer afraid of Jia Zhangshi. Without waiting for Jia Dongxu to speak, she directly refuted

"Snapped"

"I'm not dead yet. It's not your turn to make the decisions for the Jia family!" Jia Zhang slapped Qin Huairu in the face and taught him a lesson.

"Mother-in-law! I'm sorry." Qin Huairu was stunned by the slap from Jia Zhang. Looking at Jia Dongxu who was silent beside her, she realized that she was a little too proud of herself and quickly apologized.

"Sister-in-law, although Huairu was a little anxious, what she said was very reasonable! Do you want to reconsider it?" Yi Zhonghai saw that Jia Zhang was about to go to jail and he didn't know whether she would be able to come back, so he had already taken on the role of the head of the Jia family.

"Dongxu, take that little slut to Yan Bugui's house and tell him that our Banggeng's full moon banquet must be held with great fanfare." After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Jia Zhang did not react at all. She completely ignored Yi Zhonghai and instead instructed Jia Dongxu.

"Got it, Mom, let's go, Huairu." Jia Dongxu directly pulled Qin Huairu away

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu who was leaving with a dark look in his eyes. He knew that master and disciple could not compare with mother and son, but he still felt uncomfortable seeing such a scene.

"Are you envious? It's useless. Dongxu is my son! If you, an old bachelor, want to have your own child, wait for your next life!" Jia Zhang looked at the man in front of her and naturally knew what he was thinking.

"Jia Zhang, you're going too far!" Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang angrily.

"Hmph! Why are you so anxious now? Am I going too far? Even if I am going too far, I will not scheme against my own apprentice, and I will not alienate the mother-child relationship of other people's families!" Jia Zhang directly pointed out Yi Zhonghai's plan.

"You..." Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang with some surprise.

"You think you are the only smart person in the world and everyone else is stupid. No, you are not a smart person. The problem in my family was suggested by the old woman in the backyard who pretends to be deaf and dumb! She deserves to be extinct!" Jia Zhang scolded Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old woman with a mocking look on her face.

"What do you want? Don't forget that you are a criminal now. You don't know if you can get out alive!" Yi Zhonghai threatened coldly.

"Yes! I am a criminal and may not live long. Do you think I can take you and that old deaf man away?" Jia Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai with a crazy look on her face.

"Tell me! What do you want to do?" Yi Zhonghai was not an ordinary person after all. He calmed his mind and looked carefully at Jia Zhang in front of him. He felt that she was a little strange, as if he saw her for the first time.

"You pay for the Jia family's wedding banquet this time. Don't think of crying poor. I know you still have a lot of private money!" Jia Zhang said

"You... are good" Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and said

"Haha, you old bastard, you look righteous on the surface, and you seem warm-hearted to everyone, but you are actually insidious and selfish in private, and you are even wary of your own wife. Let's see what you will do when you get old!" Jia Zhang did not let Yi Zhonghai go just because he agreed to pay the money, but instead became even more aggressive.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I do need someone to take care of me in my old age, but that person may not be Jia Dongxu!" Yi Zhonghai said with a gloomy face.

"You've invested so much, are you willing to let go? You didn't give up when I was around. Now that I'm about to get into trouble, will you let go?" Jia Zhang said disdainfully.

"I've agreed to pay the money. What else do you want?" Yi Zhonghai obviously didn't want to go on and said directly.

"Tomorrow I will ask Jia Dongxu to worship you as his godfather at the banquet, and make him swear in public to take care of you in your old age. You didn't lose out on the banquet money, and this can be considered a family recognition banquet," Jia Zhang said dejectedly.

"What?" Yi Zhonghai was obviously stunned by the sudden surprise! He never thought that Jia Zhang would make such a decision one day.

Yi Zhonghai was a gloomy person. Although he was angry about Jia Zhang's insults just now, he was not as angry as he showed on his face. The reason he did this was mainly because he was worried that Jia Zhang would ask for too much.

There is one thing that Jia Zhang said is very true. He has invested too much time, energy and money in Jia Dongxu. He will never let go unless it is absolutely necessary, especially when Jia Zhang is about to serve her sentence. This is also the reason why he compromised before. He originally planned to spend some money to send Jia Zhang away and let her go on the road honestly. Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang's second request was to ask Jia Dongxu to worship her as his godfather, and in front of everyone, asked Jia Dongxu to swear to provide for her in her old age.

"Why?" Although Yi Zhonghai was happy about Jia Zhang's decision, he knew that Jia Zhang had always been on guard against him and had always disagreed with Jia Dongxu's support for him in his old age. According to Jia Zhang's current situation, she should have held Jia Dongxu tighter. Why did she let go? Yi Zhonghai couldn't understand!

"Oh! You, a bastard, will never understand that a mother is willing to give up everything for her children!" Jia Zhang's words made Yi Zhonghai feel ashamed.

"Don't be happy too soon, I have conditions for this!" Jia Zhang said again

"What conditions?" Yi Zhonghai asked nervously

"I want you to swear to treat Dongxu as your own son. Forget it, your oath is as unreliable as shit. You can do it yourself!" Jia Zhang thought of Yi Zhonghai's character and said helplessly.

"Don't worry, I will raise Jia Dongxu as my own son," Yi Zhonghai promised with a serious face.

"Okay, get out! I don't want to see you now!" Jia Zhang said and started to chase people away.

"Yi Zhonghai, remember your words. If you break your promise, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!" Jia Zhang said with a grim face before Yi Zhonghai left.

Yi Zhonghai looked back at Jia Zhangshi. It was only at this moment that he realized that he had never thoroughly understood the woman in front of him. Looking at Jia Zhangshi's appearance, he did not say anything and left directly.

"Mom, I'm back!" Jia Dongxu followed Yi Zhonghai into the house immediately after he left, obviously not going to Yan Bugui's house.

"Well, where is that little slut?" asked Jia Zhang

"I sent her to Yan Bugui's house." Jia Dongxu said with a smile

"Not that stupid!" Jia Zhang smiled with some relief after hearing this.

"Mom, the things are here, what should we do?" Jia Dongxu said anxiously, not knowing when Qin Huairu would come back.

"No hurry. While Qin Huairu is away, I want to tell you something private." Jia Zhang took the thing handed over by Jia Dongxu and did not continue the topic.

"Mom, please tell me!" Jia Dongxu looked at his mother and said

"Dongxu, I have just discussed with Yi Zhonghai and asked him to be your godfather. Tomorrow, when everyone is gathered, we will hold a ceremony for everyone to witness. Then you will swear to take care of him until his death." Jia Zhang said

"Why? Aren't we?" Jia Dongxu disagreed.

"Shut up and listen to me. We must do what we agreed on before, but you have to be my godfather too. What's the reason? First of all, Yi Zhonghai has no children or relatives, only a sickly wife. If we succeed tomorrow, Yi Zhonghai will definitely not survive. Zhang Cuihua has a heart disease and can't stand too much stimulation. It is estimated that she will not live long after Yi Zhonghai's death. By then, you, as the victim, can inherit the things of the Yi family. Secondly, it's like buying an insurance policy. It's better to be safe than sorry. If I fail tomorrow, I will take all the responsibilities and you will push them to me. Anyway, I will go to jail and I don't care. After I leave, relying on the relationship of godparents, he may continue to get close to you. Finally, Yi Zhonghai is cunning and we have to let him down. Is there anything he can be more proud of than being my godparents?" Jia Zhang told her calculations.

"I know." Jia Dongxu felt a little sad after hearing what his mother said.

"Mother-in-law, I'm back!" Qin Huairu said respectfully as she entered the room.

"Go ask Yi Zhonghai for the money. He has already agreed!" Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu who was pretending to be hypocritical and said with disdain.

"Dongxu, why are you going there? Isn't there someone who is anxious to be the head of the family? Let her go!" Jia Zhangshi stopped her son when she saw him going to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Yes, Dongxu, you stay here and accompany your mother!" Qin Huairu didn't want to offend Jia Zhang who was about to go to jail, so she also persuaded him.

Not long after Qin Huairu left, Jia Zhang winked at Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu understood and walked quietly to the door. Suddenly he opened the door and looked around. After finding no one, he went back into the room and nodded at Jia Zhang.

Then the mother and son began to discuss tomorrow's plans and what to do if they encounter any unexpected situations.

"Mom, isn't this too cruel?" Jia Dongxu said with a look of reluctance.

"You think I want you to remember, Dongxu, that some things should be done without doing them, or done thoroughly. Just looking at the current situation, if He Ping'an doesn't have a backup plan, our business is actually not safe. Qin Huairu said something very right, He Ping'an can afford to lose, but what about us?" Jia Zhang said, and then looked at her son with regret.

"Besides, if you can suppress Qin Huairu, why would you bother with this? Didn't you see how she looked today? I haven't even left yet, and I've already ignored you. What about in the future?"

"I understand, mother!" Jia Dongxu thought about what Qin Huairu did today and no longer objected

"By the way, have Qin Huairu's family been notified?" Jia Zhang suddenly asked, as if she remembered something.

"We've notified her parents, brothers, sisters, and cousins! Why did you call so many irrelevant people, mom?" Jia Dongxu answered his mother's question with dissatisfaction.

"What do you know? If you don't invite so many people, how can you spread the news of Qin Huairu back to Qinjia Village? If you don't spread the news back to Qinjia Village, how can you let the Qin family sever their relationship with Qin Huairu? If you don't cut off Qin Huairu's retreat, how can you guarantee that Qin Huairu will stay in the Jia family obediently after the incident!" Jia Zhang explained to Jia Dongxu helplessly.

Perhaps Jia Zhang was angry with Jia Dongxu. After saying these words, she ignored Jia Dongxu and instead looked at her grandson with a kind face.
