Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Qin Huairu walked into the courtyard with tears in her eyes and saw He Yuzhu pushing his bicycle out. Qin Huairu immediately put on a pitiful look, hoping that He Yuzhu could care about her and comfort her like before.

He Yuzhu didn't even raise his eyelids, just walked past her and walked out of the courtyard.

Qin Huairu suddenly felt deeply frustrated. Her son, whom she treated wholeheartedly, didn't like her. Even Sha Zhu, who had eyes only for her before, looked down on her.

Qin Huairu was heartbroken, but also filled with endless resentment towards Sha Zhu. You knelt down and licked me like that before, why do you just stop licking me now?

Qin Huairu said with sinister eyes: "Silly Zhu, you can't escape from my palm. You are my licking dog for a while, and you will be my licking dog for the rest of your life."

Qin Huairu came back to her senses and walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Uncle and aunt, thank you for your hard work. I am here to pick up Xiaodang and Huaihua!" Qin Huairu said with gratitude on her face.

Xiaodang and Huaihua saw Qin Huairu and hurried over to hug her.

"Mom, you are finally back!"

Qin Huairu gently rubbed Xiaodang and Huaihua's heads, with a maternal light shining in her eyes.

Yi Zhonghai saw that Qin Huairu's eyes were red and swollen, and asked with concern: "Huairu, why are you crying?"

Qin Huairu said with a sad face: "My mother-in-law brought half a roast duck to Banggeng, and Banggeng scolded me for being useless and for not loving him."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Banggeng is too ignorant. He doesn't understand how difficult it is for you as a mother."

Qin Huairu said helplessly with satisfaction: "Bang Geng was taught badly by his grandmother. He only cares about himself and doesn't consider other people's feelings at all."

Yi Zhonghai comforted him: "Banggeng is not a bad kid by nature. As long as he is educated well, he will change."

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and said, "As long as my mother-in-law is around, I have no way to educate him."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Your mother-in-law is indeed a problem. I will find time to have a good talk with her."

"Uncle, thank you!" Qin Huairu thanked again.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "It's okay! By the way, is your mother-in-law taking care of Bang Geng in the hospital tonight?"

Qin Huairu said in a deep voice: "Yes, doesn't Bang Geng only like his grandmother? Then I will fulfill his wish and let his grandmother take care of him for a few days."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "This is a good idea. Your mother-in-law is lazy and only likes to do easy things. She will be impatient after taking care of Banggeng for two days at most. By then, Banggeng will be able to see the true face of his grandmother."

Qin Huairu forced a smile and said, "That's what I thought too!"

Yi Zhonghai changed the subject and asked, "How have you thought about the plan I told you about yesterday?"

Qin Huairu said with difficulty: "Uncle, my mind is completely focused on Bang Geng now. I don't have the energy to think about other things. I will give you an answer after Bang Geng is discharged from the hospital, okay?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Then when are you going to arrange for Bang Geng to be discharged from the hospital?"

"Just these few days! The hospital fees are too expensive, I can't afford it at all." Qin Huairu said bitterly.

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be worried and asked, "Will being discharged from the hospital so early have any impact on Bang Geng's condition?"

"There will definitely be some impact, but there's nothing we can do about it. Who blames me for being a useless mother?" Qin Huairu's face was full of self-blame.

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Qin Huairu would ask him for money again, so he changed the subject calmly.

"Huai Ru, I heard that you had a fight with your mother-in-law this afternoon. Can you tell me why?"

Qin Huairu's eyelashes trembled when she heard this. She knew clearly that the reason why Yi Zhonghai chose her to be his elderly care provider was because he valued her filial piety. If this filter was gone, Yi Zhonghai would definitely not help her family anymore.

Bai Lianhua is worthy of being Bai Lianhua. Her eyes instantly turned red, tears kept rolling in her eyes. She looked like she was about to cry but couldn't. She said with a sad face:

"Uncle, you know me well. I never fight back or say anything back at my mother-in-law, but she was really too much today. I couldn't help it and fought back a few times."

"Today, I went to pick up my mother-in-law from prison with good intentions, but she slapped me without saying a word. I understood that she was in a bad mood in prison, so I didn't make a fuss about it..."

"On the way back, she kept insulting me, as badly as she could, but I didn't bother with her."

"After returning to the courtyard, she had a fight with the second aunt. She didn't beat the other one, so she came to hit me. I was so angry at the time that I subconsciously fought back."

"Uncle, please judge for yourself. How can there be a mother-in-law like her? Not only does she not share the pressure with her daughter-in-law, but she also uses her daughter-in-law as a punching bag and beats her up whenever she is not satisfied."

Qin Huairu became more and more sad as she spoke, tears streaming down her face, looking heartbroken.

When Xiaodang and Huaihua saw Qin Huairu crying, they also started crying.

"Don't cry, Mom!"

Xiaodang gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Qin Huairu's eyes.

Qin Huairu ignored Xiaodang's comfort and continued crying:

"Uncle, you say I have it easy. My husband died at a young age, leaving me with three hungry children. My mother-in-law not only does nothing, but also always causes trouble for me. I have to go to work during the day, and when I come home at night, I have to wash clothes, cook for them, and clean up the mess."

"Besides, she keeps all the money for herself and never spends it on the family. I really can't stand it any longer."

"Sometimes I wonder, why do I have to take care of this family and live such a hard life?"

"Why don't I just find someone else to marry? Anyway, the country now supports widows to remarry..."

Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly changed when he heard this. If Qin Huairu really married out of the Siheyuan, who would take care of her in her old age?

He had invested so much energy and money in the Jia family, but he didn't expect that it would be in vain in the end. He hurriedly tried to comfort them:

"Huai Ru, I actually support remarriage. This way you will feel better."

"But have you ever thought about it? If you get better, what will happen to your three children?"

"If you remarry, your mother-in-law will definitely keep Banggeng and let you take Xiaodang and Huaihua away. With your mother-in-law's personality, do you think she can teach Banggeng well? Without you, Banggeng will definitely be useless."

"Also, if you bring Xiaodang and Huaihua together to form a new family, can you guarantee that Xiaodang and Huaihua will be happy?"

Hearing this, Xiao Dang said in fear, "Mom, I don't want to leave the courtyard, I don't want to be separated from my brother and grandma, and I don't want to have a stepfather. He will beat me."

Huaihua said in a baby voice, "Mom, I don't want to be separated from my brother either. My brother loves me so much. He will make beggar's chicken for me."

Qin Huairu choked up and said, "But mom really can't hold on any longer."

Xiao Dang said excitedly: "Mom, I believe in you, you can persevere."

Huaihua echoed, "Mom, you are the greatest mother in the world. I believe you can do it."
