He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Qin Huairu stretched out her hands to stop He Yuzhu who was about to leave, and said anxiously: "Zhuzi, you also know that Banggeng will be back tomorrow." She looked at the man in front of her with anticipation in her big watery eyes.

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at Qin Huairu impatiently and replied unhappily: "Banggeng is coming back? What does his coming back have to do with me! I have a lot of things to do myself, so get out of my way here!" After that, he tried to bypass Qin Huairu and continued to move forward.

However, Qin Huairu did not give up and continued to stare at He Yuzhu. Although she knew that the other party would most likely not agree to her request, she still refused to give up and said in an almost pleading tone: "Zhuzi, look...can you accept Banggeng as your apprentice? When he learns from you, he will have a skill in the future, right? Then you can teach Banggeng how to cook, okay?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but sneer and responded sarcastically: "Oh, you just wanted to occupy my house some time ago, and now you are planning to take my craftsmanship. Sister Qin, you really have a good plan!"

Qin Huairu's face turned pale instantly after hearing this, and a trace of despair and helplessness flashed in her eyes. But then, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly knelt down in front of He Yuzhu with a plop, and cried with tears in her voice: "Zhuzi, I beg you, please be kind and give Banggeng a chance, okay? As long as you are willing to accept him as your apprentice, I am willing to do anything for you!"

After hearing Qin Huairu's request, He Yuzhu showed a trace of disdain on his face. He looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Sister Qin, are you kidding me? Banggeng is a thief. How can I accept him as my apprentice?"

Qin Huairu was embarrassed after hearing what He Yuzhu said. She tried to persuade He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, Banggeng already knows he was wrong and he wants to learn. Just give him a chance."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Sister Qin, it's not that I don't want to give him a chance, but I can't accept a thief as an apprentice. This is my principle." After that, He Yuzhu turned and left, leaving Qin Huairu alone in a daze.

After returning home, He Yuzhu sat on the sofa, feeling a little irritated. He recalled his childhood, when he was also a naughty child, but his father always taught him to be an upright person. He Yuzhu felt that he could not go against his father's teachings, so he could not accept Bang Geng as his apprentice.

At this moment, Xu Damao came over with big strides. He saw Qin Huairu kneeling on the ground and showed a trace of surprise on his face: "Oh, Sister Qin, what's wrong with you? Why are you still kneeling here!" As he said that, he came closer and looked at Qin Huairu carefully.

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Xu Damao with tears in her eyes. She told him exactly what had happened in a sobbing voice: "Oh, Damao, I never thought that He Yuzhu would become so cruel! Back then, Banggeng always called him silly uncle affectionately. Who could have expected that he would become like this now? The world is so fickle and people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be!"

After hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Huairu's hand tightly, with a bit of cunning in his eyes: "Hey, Sister Qin, don't worry. Come to my brother's house tonight, I promise to come up with a brilliant idea for you."

Qin Huairu knew what Xu Damao was planning, but she had no other choice but to hope that Xu Damao could help her solve this difficult problem. So, she gritted her teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, Damao, I'm counting on you to help me with this matter. As long as you can solve the problem, I'll do anything."

Xu Damao dragged his slightly tired body back home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Jingru sitting by the bed, gently looking at the sleeping child in the cradle. He forced a smile on his face and said softly: "Jingru, our father's health has been getting worse and worse recently. He always has pains here and there. I think I must go back to see him and show my filial piety! What about you, do you plan to go with me, or stay at home to take care of the child?"

Qin Jingru raised her head and met Xu Damao's gaze. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a slightly apologetic smile, and replied: "Da Mao, you also know that this child is very naughty at home and can't leave someone to watch him all the time. If both of us leave, who knows what will happen. I think it's better for me to stay at home to take care of the child, otherwise when I go to your parents' place, the child is ignorant and will cause trouble for the two old people."

However, only Qin Jingru knew that the real reason why she was unwilling to follow Xu Damao back to her parents-in-law's house was not this. She was afraid that Xu Damao's parents would find out, after all, the child was not Xu Damao's biological child at all. Once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Moreover, Qin Jingru thought to herself that Xu Damao's request to go home to visit his parents might not be that simple. She always felt that this matter had something to do with Qin Huairu. Maybe Xu Damao was up to something again and wanted to do something behind her back. Thinking of this, Qin Jingru couldn't help but frown and worry secretly.

No one knew what happened, but when Xu Damao came back the next day, he looked at Qin Jingru and said, "Jingru, don't cook anymore. When Banggeng comes back, we can go check on him. After all, Banggeng has been in prison for such a long time, he probably doesn't recognize you as his aunt."

Qin Jingru nodded. The child had a cold these days, so he didn't go out for a walk. "Okay."

At this time, Qin Huairu and Xiaodang Huaihua came over and said, "Qin Jingru, give the child to my mother-in-law. We will be back soon."

Qin Jingru looked at Qin Huairu. You know, this was her baby. And Qin Jingru learned a strange thing during the conversation in the yard, that is, Banggeng is no longer a man now, he has nothing.

You have to know that your child is a son. If something happens to the Jia family, where can you go to seek justice?

"No, I can just go with the baby."

Qin Huairu glanced at Qin Jingru and knew that Qin Jingru was thinking the wrong thing: "Okay, it's getting late, let's set off early to save Banggeng from waiting anxiously."

Xu Damao nodded and said, "I'll go buy some food when I get back. We can have a good family gathering and get rid of the bad luck on Banggeng."
