Chapter 279 Finding a Wife for He Yuzhu
After hearing this, Xu Damao was immediately anxious. He stared at Lou Xiaoe with wide eyes and asked suspiciously, "Are you telling the truth?"
Lou Xiao'e met Xu Damao's questioning gaze without fear, and responded calmly: "You can ask around about this kind of thing. Everyone in the Siheyuan knows about it. Then everything will be clear!"
Xu Damao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back in the end. He knew very well that if He Feng really had a close relationship with He Yuzhu, then he must not easily provoke He Yuzhu in the future. Thinking of this, Xu Damao turned around and left in a hurry without saying anything.
After all, this matter still needs to be clarified. Although Xu Damao knows that Lou Xiao'e would not lie to him, he still finds it a little bit unconvincing. You know, He Yuzhu and He Feng have always been at loggerheads with each other.
At the very least, Yi Zhonghai would not agree to this matter.
At the same time, the cold winter months were undoubtedly the most difficult and hard time for Jia Dongxu.
At this moment, he curled up on the cold kang, shivering as he looked at Qin Huairu beside him, and shouted angrily: "Why are you still standing here? Go out and borrow some coal quickly, do you really want to freeze me to death?"
Qin Huairu nodded timidly and said, "Okay, Dongxu, I'll go out and borrow it now." Then she wrapped her thin cotton coat tightly and hurried out of the room.
Jia Dongxu huddled under the quilt, shivering, and thinking to himself. For some reason, he had recently felt more and more strongly that it would be difficult for him to hold on until Banggeng came back.
Moreover, as time went by, Qin Huairu became less and less obedient to him, and sometimes even ignored his words.
If this continues, before Banggeng comes back, I'm afraid my life will become more and more difficult. I might even be secretly dealt with by Qin Huairu. After all, Jia Dongxu also knows that he is a useless person.
Speaking of Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu was even more angry. After all, Yi Zhonghai was having an affair with Qin Huairu. If he hadn't been in trouble, he would have to teach Yi Zhonghai a lesson.
Just at this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Jia Dongxu's mind - why not ask He Feng for help?
As long as he can take action and send Yi Zhonghai to jail, wouldn't that avenge the previous shame? Thinking back, if Yi Zhonghai hadn't interfered, how could I end up in such a situation now? It's a pity that I still need to rely on Yi Zhonghai's help, otherwise, I would have exposed his crimes to the public without hesitation.
Jia Dongxu decided that when Banggeng came back, he would tell Banggeng all the things. As long as Banggeng could become independent, he would send Yi Zhonghai in to see what Yi Zhonghai could do.
The lively atmosphere of the New Year gradually faded away, and time always passed by in a flash. In the past, every time at this time, He Yuzhu would lead the stick to go door to door to ask for money, but this year was different from usual. He only went to Yi Zhonghai's house.
When He Yuzhu stood at the door of Yi Zhonghai's house, he knocked gently, then said with a smile: "Uncle, Happy New Year!" However, what greeted him was Yi Zhonghai's angry and dissatisfied look.
Yi Zhonghai frowned and said to He Yuzhu in a reproachful tone: "Zhuzi, what's wrong with you now? Don't you know the situation of the Jia family? They live in hardship. As a neighbor, how can you be so cold and indifferent?"
But He Yuzhu was not shaken by Yi Zhonghai's words. He looked him straight in the eye and responded firmly: "Master, I have figured it out now. The Jia family is not doing well, but it is not my fault. If I continue to act like before, I am afraid I will never get married in my life."
He Yuzhu is not stupid. He just didn't react for a moment before. Now, after hearing what Uncle He Feng said to him, he understood it all at once.
Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was slightly stunned, and then he asked again: "Zhu Zi, didn't Qin Huairu say before that she would introduce you to a wife? Why haven't you seen any follow-up?"
He Yuzhu was a little confused by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment. After a moment of silence, he stammered, "Uncle, um... I'd better go back first. I have to go out and help someone cook later." After that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Yi Zhonghai originally planned to let He Yuzhu stay at his house for dinner, and invite Qin Huairu to come over, so that they could sit together and have a good chat, and maybe they could resolve the conflict. But seeing He Yuzhu's hurried departure, he could only sigh helplessly.
After all, Yi Zhonghai found an idea all of a sudden: "Yes, didn't Qin Huairu say that she would introduce a wife to He Yuzhu? This matter is a breakthrough. Let's see if we can deal with He Yuzhu from this direction."
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai hurried to the Jia family. After all, this matter still needed Qin Huairu to deal with it. Wouldn't it be back on track by then?
At this time, Jia Dongxu was eating with his bowl in hand. When he saw Yi Zhonghai entering the house, he did not even raise his head, but just asked casually: "Uncle, what are you doing here?"
Yi Zhonghai naturally knew why Jia Dongxu was so cold towards him, but he did not say a word.
After all, in his opinion, why bother too much with a person who is about to die? Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai forced a smile on his face and said, "Dongxu, the new year is here, I'm here to wish you a happy new year! By the way, where is Qin Huairu?"
Hearing this, Jia Dongxu nodded slightly, indicating that he knew Yi Zhonghai's intention. But just as he was about to respond, he saw Qin Huairu hurriedly walking out of the inner room.
"Uncle, you are here. Is there something important you want to tell me?" Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai with a puzzled look on her face.
Yi Zhonghai cast his eyes to Jia Dongxu who was silent at the side, and then quickly turned back to Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu saw this and said, "Why don't we go out and talk."
Qin Huairu knew that Yi Zhonghai came here probably because of He Yuzhu's matter, so Jia Dongxu didn't need to know about these things, so as to avoid any misunderstandings from Jia Dongxu.
Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly in agreement, glanced at Jia Dongxu, and then followed Qin Huairu out of the house.
