Chapter 539 The Jia Family's Plot
Qin Huairu then pulled Jia Zhang out. Jia Zhang was still mumbling and cursing He Yuzhu as she walked.
Qin Huairu also had some bad words in her mouth. After all, He Yuzhu didn't help their family. He really deserved to die. But she only dared to mutter in a low voice.
What they didn't know was that He Yuzhu wasn't really drunk. He narrowed his eyes, watching them leave, his mouth slightly raised, thinking to himself: "Huh, how could I not know about your little tricks?"
He sat quietly on the chair, and waited until the sound of their footsteps completely disappeared before he slowly sat up straight, but his head still hurt a little.
He Yuzhu's eyes were full of surprise and confusion. He really didn't expect that Qin Huairu, who seemed kind on weekdays, would have such thoughts in her heart.
You know, in the past, he had helped Qin Huairu's family a lot. When he was still working in the kitchen, he would always bring some food from the canteen to them. Those steaming meals carried his kindness; when the Jia family encountered financial difficulties, he would not hesitate to take out his savings to help them through the difficulties. He thought that his efforts would be rewarded with gratitude, but reality gave him a heavy blow.
But what was the result? Qin Huairu, whom he had sincerely helped, and the sarcastic Jia Zhang, were both cursing him behind his back.
Those unbearable words were like sharp knives that pierced his heart. He didn't understand why his kindness was rewarded in this way, and his heart was full of grievances and anger.
He Yuzhu now only hopes to find a wife. From now on, other people’s lives will have nothing to do with him anymore.
On the other side, Qin Huairu was pulled back by Jia Zhang like a chicken. On the way back, Jia Zhang's dry hand twisted Qin Huairu's arm fiercely, causing Qin Huairu to cry out in pain.
Jia Zhang yelled in her shrill voice, "You are such a loser. You have been in He Yuzhu's house for such a long time, but you can't even do such a small thing. Look at you, what else can you accomplish? I was counting on you to get some benefits from He Yuzhu, but you didn't achieve anything at all."
Qin Huairu shook her head helplessly, her face full of bitterness: "Mom, I don't know what happened. He Yuzhu was very attentive to me before, but I don't know what happened this time. He seemed to have changed into a different person and didn't fall for it. I tried my best, but he just didn't do what we expected. I wonder if someone said something to him."
When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes started rolling around, and she suddenly slapped her thigh, as if she had thought of something: "Qin Huairu, could it be the deaf old lady in the backyard? That old woman always dislikes us, maybe she said something bad to He Yuzhu and ruined our good fortune."
Qin Huairu shook her head again and fell into deep thought: "Mom, I think it's Gu Nan. After all, Gu Nan is now the canteen director and has a lot of power. If Gu Nan keeps stopping He Yuzhu from going to the kitchen, He Yuzhu won't be able to go to the kitchen even if he wants to. And Gu Nan is a shrewd person. Maybe he has seen through our thoughts and deliberately interfered."
You know, Gu Nan had said this before. Now that He Yuzhu needs Gu Nan's help, he might regard Gu Nan's words as an imperial decree.
Both of them began to believe that it was Gu Nan who caused this. After all, He Yuzhu would never speak like this in the past.
In the dim room, the lights flickered, emitting a faint glow. Jia Zhang sat on the worn-out chair, leaning forward slightly, with a sinister look in her eyes. She nodded vigorously, her sparse white hair shaking, and gritted her teeth as she said, "Yes, it's that bastard Gu Nan! I don't know what tricks he used to make Zhuzi return to work in the kitchen. But we still need He Yuzhu's help. Zhuzi is the chef in the cafeteria, and he can make a lot of money. With his help, our lives will be better."
Qin Huairu stood aside, and when she heard what Jia Zhang said, she felt annoyed and couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Jia Zhang. In her mind, if it weren't for this old woman Jia Zhang staring at Jia Dongxu all day, she would have no time to take action.
If Jia Dongxu died, she could marry He Yuzhu smoothly, and her life would be prosperous, and there wouldn't be so many troubles. But she could only think about this in her heart, and she didn't dare to say it in front of Jia Zhang.
Qin Huairu suppressed her dissatisfaction, forced a smile on her face, nodded and said, "Yes, I plan to take some time off to go home and bring Qin Jingru with me. Jingru is young and beautiful, and she is also lively. Maybe she can win He Yuzhu's heart. When the time comes, we will let He Yuzhu work hard for our family."
But Qin Huairu hasn't been back for such a long time, and I don't know if Qin Jingru has found a partner. This is also a difficult question.
Jia Zhang's eyes lit up, and she instantly understood what Qin Huairu meant. She opened her toothless mouth, revealing a weird smile, and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, we should indeed bring Qin Jingru here. After all, He Yuzhu is back in the kitchen now, and this is a great opportunity. If that girl can take down He Yuzhu, we will have hope for the future. Zhuzi is a man of loyalty and righteousness, and he will definitely not ignore us when the time comes."
Jia Zhang was very happy when she thought of He Yuzhu bringing food home. After all, the food at her home could be improved. As for other things, Jia Zhang couldn't think so far ahead.
It was late at night, and Qin Huairu dragged her tired body back to bed. Although she had taken medicine, she had drunk a lot of wine tonight and her head was dizzy.
Qin Huairu staggered into the room and first glanced at Jia Dongxu lying on the bed. Jia Dongxu was snoring softly with his eyes closed. Then, she walked to the child's bed and looked at the child's sleeping face. Her heart softened. But the effect of alcohol was getting stronger and stronger. She felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Before she had time to think about it, she fell asleep on the bed in a daze, with a faint smile on her lips, as if she was looking forward to the good days after bringing Qin Jingru here.
Little did she know that Yi Zhonghai's aunt saw everything Qin Huairu did.
