Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Qin Huairu came out of the bathhouse, feeling refreshed and finally a smile appeared on her face.

Yi Zhonghai said softly: "Huai Ru, are you hungry? Let's find a place to eat."

Qin Huairu smiled awkwardly and said, "Master, why don't we go home and eat? I don't have any money with me."

Yi Zhonghai said generously: "You don't have to pay, the master will treat you to a meal at Quanjude."

Qin Huairu was tempted, but she said, "Master, the price of Quanjude is not cheap."

"Don't worry, Huairu. Master has worked for so many years, so he can still afford a roast duck meal."

"Thank you, Master."

Half an hour later, the two walked out of Quanjude satisfied.

Yi Zhonghai said tenderly: "Huai Ru, let's go get the marriage certificate while we still have time!"

Qin Huairu frowned slightly and declined politely: "Master, I haven't thought it through yet."

Yi Zhonghai said in a dissatisfied tone: "What else is there to consider? Our affair has been known to everyone. If we don't get married soon, the foam will drown us."

"Also, we must tear up the marriage certificate before the factory finds out, otherwise you will most likely be fired."

"Think about your work, think about Banggeng, thank Xiaodang and Huaihua, you should make a decision now."

Qin Huairu was horrified when she heard this. The other party was right. If they didn't get the marriage certificate as soon as possible, she would really be fired from the steel mill.

The work at the steel mill was the main source of income for her family. Without this job, her whole family would be starving.

But she was extremely reluctant to marry Yi Zhonghai, who was more than 30 years older than her.

At this moment, He Yuzhu's figure suddenly appeared in her mind, and she cursed in her heart:

"Silly Zhu, it's all your fault, damn it, why don't you want to marry me?"

"If you had married me, I wouldn't have been forced by this hypocritical old man. It's all because of you. I will never let you go."

Seeing that Qin Huairu was full of hesitation and was reluctant to agree, Yi Zhonghai decided to raise the stakes.

"Huai Ru, if you agree to marry me, not only will the money you owe me be written off, but I will also immediately pay to rescue Bang Geng."

Qin Huairu was silent for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "These conditions are not enough..."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said with a slightly unhappy look: "Huai Ru, do you have any other conditions? We can discuss it."

Qin Huairu said seriously, "In addition to the above conditions, you must give me a betrothal gift of 200 yuan, and all your future wages must be given to me. You must also make a will stating that after you die, all your property will be inherited by me."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's brows twisted into knots and he said angrily:

"Qin Huairu, don't you think your requests are too much?"

Qin Huairu shook her head gently: "I don't think so!"

"Master, now that we've come to this point, let's speak frankly!"

"You are almost sixty years old now, and I am only in my twenties. I married you at such a young age, definitely not because of love, but because of money. If you can't give me enough money, why should I marry an old man like you with gray hair?"

"As for the factory job, I don't care at all now. I earn less than 20 yuan a month sweeping dirty and smelly toilets. I can earn more than that by making matchboxes at home."

"Also, Bang Geng, you're right. He has lost his value in training. The police station can keep him for as long as they want!"

Qin Huairu's blunt words hurt Yi Zhonghai's pride, making him furious and his face turned livid.

Yi Zhonghai suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Huai Ru, now that everything has been said, I won't hide it anymore."

"The reason I want to marry you is not only to solve my physiological problems, but also to have you provide for my old age. If I give you all my salary and you don't provide for me in the future, I won't even have a place to cry."

"Don't rush to make promises to me. What's your mother-in-law like? What's Bang Geng like? You know better than anyone."

"I used to approve of you and thought you were filial, but now with your attitude towards Jia Zhang, do I think I dare to entrust the rest of my life to you?"

Qin Huairu's face turned ugly when she heard this, and she asked coldly, "What do you want me to do to make you feel at ease?"

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "I won't give you any empty promises. Except for keeping my salary, I agree to all other conditions."

Qin Huairu said firmly: "No! You keep your salary yourself? Do you want me to use my salary to support you? What's the difference between this and freeloading?"

"Master, words are as dull as water. I don't want to argue with you again and again. From now on, no matter how much your salary is, give me half of it."

"These are my conditions. If you don't agree, then we'll go our separate ways. From now on, I'll go my way and you'll go your way."

"I, Qin Huairu, have suffered enough in my life. I don't want to put myself in a difficult position for the sake of so-called family and family affection."

"If we can't come to an agreement, I would rather be fired and take Xiaodang and Huaihua back to the countryside, or abandon everything and run away to a place where no one knows me, remarry and have children."

Yi Zhonghai's expression froze and he was angry, but seeing Qin Huairu's firm attitude, he was silent for a moment and finally nodded.

Qin Huairu said calmly, "Then let's go home first, write down the conditions we have agreed on, then go to the street office to get a certificate, and then go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate."

"it is good!"

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to agree, but he suddenly felt that he was being led by Qin Huairu, and he felt a little unhappy.

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard together. When everyone saw them, they couldn't help pointing and talking.

Qin Huairu ignored everyone's discussions, went back home, found her household registration book, and turned around to leave.

Jia Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "Qin Huairu, you just came back, where are you going now?"

Qin Huairu said perfunctorily: "Go to Yi Zhonghai's house. He agreed to lend money to rescue Bang Geng."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Huai Ru, thank you for your hard work. Come back soon!"

Qin Huairu ignored Jia Zhangshi and walked straight to Yi Zhonghai's house. Just as she arrived at the door of Yi Zhonghai's house, Qin Huairu suddenly turned around and walked towards the backyard and came to the door of Xu Damao's house.

"Dong dong!"

Lou Xiao'e opened the door and saw that the person coming was Qin Huairu. She said in a cold tone:

"Widow Qin, what do you want from me?"

Qin Huairu said with a shy face: "Xiao E, you know I can't read, I want to ask you for a favor, help me read an agreement."

Lou Xiao'e said calmly, "What agreement?"

Qin Huairu laughed dryly and said, "My prenuptial agreement with Yi Zhonghai."

Lou Xiao'e was surprised and said, "Are you really planning to marry that old man Yi Zhonghai?"

Qin Huairu said bitterly: "Everyone knows about the affair between him and me. What's the point of not getting married?"

Lou Xiao'e wanted to give them some advice, but then she thought better of it. After all, these two people were not good people.

"Give me the agreement!"

"Yi Zhonghai is still writing the agreement at home. I would like to ask you to accompany me to Yi Zhonghai's house."

Lou Xiao'e didn't want to go at first, but she was curious about the contents of the agreement, so she finally nodded.
