Chapter 538 Jia Zhang comes to cause trouble
As night fell, the dim light flickered in He Yuzhu's house, reflecting the slightly messy scene inside. He Yuzhu was sitting at the table, the wine glass in front of him had been emptied several times, his cheeks flushed, and his eyes were a little blurry. Just when he was about to send Qin Huairu away, "bang bang bang", a knock on the door suddenly broke the silence in the house.
He Yuzhu was startled for a moment, put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up shakily, and staggered towards the door. He was still mumbling, "Who is this late at night?"
However, just as his hand was about to touch the door handle, a slender hand suddenly reached out and stopped him. It turned out to be Qin Huairu. With a panic in her eyes, she said anxiously: "Zhu Zi, who can come at this time? You don't have to open the door." There was a little nervousness in her voice, as if there was some unspeakable secret hidden outside the door.
He Yuzhu stopped, frowned, and looked at Qin Huairu with drunken eyes. He thought to himself that he had almost finished drinking, and the knock on the door was so urgent, maybe it was something important. So, he shook his head, trying to sober himself up, and then said, "No, I'd better go open the door and see who it is." As he said that, he was about to open the door again.
At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside the door. It was Jia Zhang. She was getting impatient waiting outside, and her heart was full of suspicion and doubt. After all, who knew what Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu were doing in the house. She shouted at the top of her voice: "Qin Huairu, what are you doing? Open the door." The voice was like a sharp knife, cutting through the tranquility of the night.
Jia Zhang felt that Qin Huairu had stayed in He Yuzhu's house for too long, and if she really did something to let down her Dongxu.
In fact, Jia Zhang didn't think it was impossible. After all, Jia Dongxu was a waste now. At that time, she could extort more money from He Yuzhu. This was Jia Zhang's idea.
Qin Huairu was shocked when she heard the familiar voice. She never expected that it was her mother-in-law Jia Zhang who came. Her heart skipped a beat and a flash of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly calmed down. She turned around and was about to ask He Yuzhu to open the door, but she found that He Yuzhu had already slumped in the chair, his head drooping, snoring softly, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
In fact, He Yuzhu was not really asleep. He knew everything in his mind. He knew that Jia Zhang's visit was definitely not a good thing. If he was awake now, he would inevitably have an argument with her, and the scene would definitely be very ugly. So, he suddenly had an idea and pretended to be asleep. He closed his eyes, breathing evenly, secretly thanking himself for his quick reaction.
Qin Huairu looked at the sleeping He Yuzhu, feeling angry and amused. She had not expected that He Yuzhu would be so cunning now. She sighed helplessly and thought to herself, "This Zhu is quite clever at the critical moment." But now that things had come to this, she had no other choice but to go out and open the door herself.
Qin Huairu took a deep breath, walked slowly to the door, and opened it with trembling hands. As soon as the door was opened, a strong wind blew in her face, and then, with a crisp sound of "slap", Jia Zhang slapped Qin Huairu in the face. Jia Zhang's eyes widened and said viciously: "Qin Huairu, what are you doing in the room? Who told you to close the door?" Her eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if she wanted to eat Qin Huairu alive.
Qin Huairu was a little dazed by the slap, and her face was burning with pain. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she still suppressed the grievance in her heart and did not speak. She knew that arguing with Jia Zhang at this time would only make things worse. She lowered her head, a trace of helplessness and sadness flashed in her eyes, and she stood there quietly, letting Jia Zhang scold her.
Jia Zhang stood at the door of He Yuzhu's house, with a calculating look on her face, and she was still making a small calculation in her mind. She was expecting to ask He Yuzhu for some money. In her opinion, this matter was all up to her. She thought that as long as she played a little pitiful, the silly boy He Yuzhu would definitely pay.
Besides, Qin Huairu is already in their house, so there is no place to go to seek justice for this matter. If He Yuzhu doesn't give the money, then I will just publicize it in the Siheyuan.
Let’s see what that bastard He Yuzhu can say then.
However, when she walked into the room, she saw He Yuzhu lying on the table, mumbling something incoherent, obviously drunk.
Jia Zhang's eyes widened, looking at the scene in disbelief, and she couldn't help muttering, "Oh, why is He Yuzhu drunk? I haven't even received the money yet!"
Her well-planned plan went down the drain in an instant, and the expression on her face became extremely ugly.
At this time, Qin Huairu also followed in. Seeing He Yuzhu's drunken appearance, she rolled her eyes at Jia Zhangshi. She was a little too excited at the moment. She had just said so many good things to He Yuzhu and was about to convince him. Unexpectedly, Jia Zhangshi suddenly showed up and ruined her good fortune. Qin Huairu stamped her feet and said anxiously, "Mom, I was about to convince He Yuzhu, why did you come here? You messed up everything by coming here!" Her tone was full of complaints.
Jia Zhang ignored Qin Huairu's complaints. She scanned the room. She thought He Yuzhu was drunk and there must be a lot of delicious food in the room. But she looked around carefully and found that the table was clean and there was no food.
Jia Zhang's brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character. She looked at Qin Huairu angrily and asked loudly, "Qin Huairu, did He Yuzhu say he would bring some vegetables to our family?" The voice was so sharp that it seemed to blow the roof off.
Qin Huairu shook her head helplessly. She just wanted to talk to Jia Zhang about Qin Jingru, but before she could say anything, Jia Zhang was already unhappy.
Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips and yelled at the top of her voice: "He Yuzhu, you bastard, why didn't he bring any vegetables to our family? Didn't he know that our life is difficult?" She became more and more excited as she spoke, spit flying out, and the fat on her face trembled.
Qin Huairu wanted to persuade Jia Zhangshi to stop being so excited, after all, He Yuzhu didn't mean it. But when she thought about how drunk He Yuzhu was, what was the point of saying this?
Saying it would only make everyone unhappy. So she had no choice but to sigh helplessly, walked up to Jia Zhang and held her arm, and said softly: "Mom, forget it, stop making trouble, let's go back first."
