Chapter 280 Looking for Qin Jingru
Qin Huairu shifted her gaze from Yi Zhonghai to Jia Dongxu and said softly, "Dongxu, I'm going out to talk to someone about something and will be back soon." After that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, Jia Dongxu was like a mute person, with his lips tightly closed and not saying a word.
In fact, Jia Dongxu knew very well that in the current situation, there was no other way but to endure. He could only swallow all the grievances and dissatisfaction, and wait until the other party relaxed their vigilance against him, and then look for an opportunity to give them a fierce counterattack.
After all, he is a disabled person now and needs to rely on Qin Huairu to earn money to support himself. His mother has also been arrested, so he should talk less.
After Qin Huairu left the house, she walked straight to Yi Zhonghai and asked in confusion, "Uncle, you specifically called me out, what's the important matter?"
Yi Zhonghai stared at Qin Huairu solemnly and said slowly: "Qin Huairu, have you ever wondered why He Yuzhu suddenly ignored you?"
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes when she heard this and replied unhappily: "Is there any need to ask? It's all because of that damn He Feng! If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be so many troubles!"
Qin Huairu now wishes she could kill He Feng. It would be fine if you ignored me, but why did you ask He Yuzhu to ignore me too? Don’t you know how difficult life is at home now?
Yi Zhonghai nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he agreed with her, but then added: "That being said, you can't blame He Feng entirely. After all, He Yuzhu is not young anymore, and it's time for him to consider getting married and starting a family. You should understand this, right?"
After hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but turn her head to look inside the house, muttering with difficulty: "But...but Jia Dongxu is still alive and well." Qin Huairu understood Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.
Yi Zhonghai knew exactly what Qin Huairu was planning, but he still shook his head gently and said earnestly, "Qin Huairu, given your current situation, the time is not yet ripe. But you have to keep He Yuzhu's heart firmly in your heart! By the way, I suddenly remembered something. Isn't there a cousin named Qin Jingru in your hometown village? Why don't you call her over and give it a try?"
Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she heard this, as if she was instantly enlightened. She slapped her thigh and said, "Oh my, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it! But..." As she spoke, she looked embarrassed and her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she had encountered a huge problem.
Yi Zhonghai saw this and asked with concern: "What's the matter?"
Qin Huairu sighed helplessly, shook her head with a bitter face and said: "Uncle, you know that I am very tight on money now, how can I afford to go back to my hometown to pick someone up? Besides, even if I can go back, I have to buy some things to bring with me. I can't just go there empty-handed!"
Yi Zhonghai naturally understood what Qin Huairu meant. After a brief thought, he took out a crumpled five-yuan bill from his pocket, handed it to Qin Huairu, and said generously, "Here, this money should be enough, right?"
When Qin Huairu saw the five dollars, she smiled brightly, as if a long drought had finally ended. She nodded hurriedly and said, "That's enough, uncle. You are really a timely help! Don't worry, I promise to bring Qin Jingru to us smoothly the day after tomorrow!"
Yi Zhonghai turned away with a dark face, feeling annoyed. He had never expected that not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also lost five dollars! This amount of money was not a small sum for him. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
On the other side, Qin Huairu hurried back home. As soon as she entered the door, Jia Dongxu came up to her impatiently, staring at her and asked, "Okay, tell me quickly, what does that old man Yi Zhonghai want to talk to you about?"
After a little hesitation, Qin Huairu told the whole story of Yi Zhonghai's visit to her, but she deliberately concealed the fact that Yi Zhonghai gave her money. After all, if Jia Dongxu knew about it, there was no telling what kind of trouble would happen.
After listening to Qin Huairu's narration, Jia Dongxu was immediately furious and roared in anger: "Yi Zhonghai is so bold and has such a rosy dream! He Yuzhu bullies our family so much on weekdays, and now he has the nerve to ask people to introduce him to a date? Is his brain broken? I think he is a complete fool!"
Qin Huairu knew the resentment and dissatisfaction in Jia Dongxu's heart, but at this moment she chose to remain silent and just stood quietly by the side listening to her husband vent his anger. After Jia Dongxu had almost finished scolding and calmed down a little, she slowly said: "Dongxu, although that is what I said, think about it carefully. If it weren't for He Yuzhu's help from time to time, our family would probably have collapsed long ago."
Jia Dongxu was stunned at first, then he smiled bitterly, as if he realized that Qin Huairu was right. After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these troubles. Go to the street and remember to buy some delicious food for your parents. They haven't tasted meat for a long time."
The night passed in a flash, and it seemed as if the day had come in the blink of an eye. He Feng went out to work early as usual, but unlike him, the workers in the steel mill did not need to go to work because it was a holiday.
In the early morning, just after the sun rose, Qin Huairu got up. She walked into the kitchen quietly and began to prepare breakfast for Jia Dongxu.
After a while, a very simple meal was ready. Qin Huairu brought the steaming porridge to the table, then turned to look at Zhang Anhua who was sitting next to her and said, "Aunt, it's New Year's Day, I want to go home to visit my parents."
Zhang Anhua smiled and nodded, showing her understanding and agreement, and reminded: "That's fine, but you can't go back empty-handed. Remember to buy something on the way back."
At this time, Jia Dongxu also came out of the room. After hearing their conversation, he glanced at Qin Huairu and said, "Well, you should go earlier and come back earlier, so as not to make your aunt too tired."
Qin Huairu nodded obediently and said, "Okay!" Then, she turned and walked out the door. In fact, she thought to herself that there were places selling things on the road anyway, so she would have enough time to buy them when the time came, and this way she could avoid Jia Dongxu's unhappy expression when he saw her spending money to buy things.
