Siheyuan: I decide the fate of the world with my medical skills

Chapter 163 Confidentiality

He had planned for a long time, got rid of Jia Dongxu and forced Qin Huairu to remove the IUD, and finally made her pregnant. But when he was on a business trip to Baoding, he had no share in it, but he got a name for it inexplicably. It must be Qin Huairu who was behind it. This woman really deserves to be cut into pieces.

"Yi Zhonghai, you useless guy, since you have married Huairu, the daughter of our Jia family, then Banggen Xiaodang Huaihua is your child! Do you think that is not enough? You want more. You are already old, and you still want to have children. This is selfish." Jia Zhang scolded angrily.

Yi Zhonghai slapped Jia Zhang hard on the face without showing any weakness.

"Oh my, this is too much. Yi Zhonghai beat the old lady. Come quickly, Lao Jia, Dongxu, take her away from here. This is clearly bullying an orphan and a widow." Jia Zhang began to use the strategy of acting like a spoiled child.

At Chen Mu's house, after dinner and chatting, He Yushui and Chen Mu continued to spend time together.

On the other side, Xu Damao's whole family was laughing at Qin Huairu's experience in the house. They felt that this was the retribution she deserved because she dared to wrongly accuse someone else's wife. Fortunately, Chen Mu exposed Jia Zhang, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

Sha Zhu's family was also having a great time, as if everything was normal.

In the days that followed, Yi Zhonghai often abused and beat Qin Huairu, and tried hard to make her pregnant again.

Not long after, Qin Yanru went to the city to get medicine again and came to the Siheyuan. She was still thinking about asking Chen Mu to find a job for her, so she decided to ask about the progress.

Chen Mu thought for a moment and led Qin Yanru directly to Courtyard No. 49 in Chaoyangmen, one of his many courtyards.

As you step into the yard, the fresh scent of herbs and flowers hits you in the face.

"I can hire you to take care of the medicinal fields and do daily cleaning, but you are not allowed to disclose anything about this house to others. If you do a good job, maybe I can change your household registration to a city hukou. Can you do that?" Chen Mu suggested.

Hearing this, Qin Yanru nodded excitedly and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Chen, I will definitely live up to your trust."

Chen Mu emphasized, "And your parents are no exception."

Qin Yanru asked in confusion: "If they ask further questions, how should I answer?"

"Just tell me that you will help me with laundry, cooking, and growing flowers and grass. I will give you 30 yuan in cash and corresponding grain and meat exchange coupons every month. If others ask, just say that you are a temporary worker and only get 10 yuan to prevent others from being jealous. Remember, you must not reveal any information here, otherwise you will be fired by me." Chen Mu said earnestly.

"Please rest assured, Doctor Chen. I promise not to tell anyone. You are my lifesaver and I will never let you down." Qin Yanru promised with a serious expression.

"Then it's settled." Chen Mu instructed, "From now on, you will live in this room in the front yard. There is a toilet and bathroom here. This is the kitchen. Your task is to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard and keep the house clean. I will come here several times a month."

Qin Yanru nodded in agreement. Looking at the luxury facilities around her, she was shocked. Is this the mansion of a wealthy family? There is a toilet and shower room inside, and it is spacious and clean.

Qin Yanru felt like she was in a dream.

Since she had been helping with farming since she was a child, she was quite familiar with taking care of herbs. After getting the spare key, Chen Mu paid her the first month's salary and took her to visit the herbs that had been taken care of in the yard and let them be exposed to the sun. He took her to eat a meal, sent her back, and left.

Qin Yanru was filled with gratitude and secretly vowed to take good care of the yard.

Inside the cell,

"Qin Xianglin, you are released from prison today. Remember to start a new life." The prison guard reminded him.

"I will, prison officer. I will definitely be a good person." The fluffy Qin Xianglin replied. Half a year of prisoner life made him no longer the same as before, and he became bald.

His heart was filled with anger. He thought, "Qin Huairu, you bitch actually reported me. Just wait and see how I will teach you a lesson."

Touching his smooth scalp, he felt so resentful that he could not express it in words. Six months of suffering had left him penniless, and he did not know if the money he had hidden before was still there. Qin Xianglin was determined to collect the debt from Qin Huairu to vent his anger.

Little did he know that Qin Huairu paid the price for his mistake during this period - she aborted his child. Qin Xianglin returned to the simple apartment he had rented, but unfortunately the house had been locked. He used wire to pry open the door and entered. He found the money wrapped in cloth in the corner, and a look of joy flashed across his face: there were still more than 200 yuan, which was the reserve he had raised earlier.

Thieves always have multiple ways to avoid being caught, so Qin Xianglin kept his money in several places to ensure its safety. In total, he had more than 400 yuan in his hands.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to take a bath, eat a big meal, then enjoy himself at the home of a widow, and then think about how to **.

Qin Huairu wanted to break off relations with him, but he decided to strengthen the relationship. After a full meal, Qin Xianglin walked into an alley and found an acquaintance in a familiar half-closed door. He paid only five yuan to spend the night with her and even had a steamed bun for breakfast.

After breakfast, he came to the No. 95 courtyard and silently guarded the entrance of the alley. For several consecutive days, the bald Qin Xianglin kept observing the entrance of the No. 95 courtyard, and even Chen Mu noticed his whereabouts.

Qin Huairu simply thought it was funny. Her life was too peaceful, so it was quite surprising to see such jokes occasionally.

That day, Qin Xianglin happened to run into Qin Huairu who had just finished using the toilet, and immediately grabbed her and dragged her into the alley behind the courtyard.

At first, Qin Huairu was frightened because she was caught off guard, and when she saw Qin Xianglin's face, her eyes became even more panicked.

"Qin Xianglin, what do you want to do? Let go!" Qin Huairu shouted in panic.

"Qin Huairu, it's better to avoid trouble. You know my methods." Qin Xianglin said coldly.

"There's no need for you to always be dissatisfied with me. Our relationship ended a long time ago." Qin Huairu defended.

"Don't be naive. It was you who reported me and put me in jail for half a year. You made me never even see a woman. We have to settle this account." Qin Xianglin sneered and forcibly dragged her into the alley and did something shameful.

Afterwards, Qin Xianglin actually put the ten yuan he found in Qin Huairu's pocket into his own pocket.

Qin Huairu was furious, but she was afraid of the threat and dared not speak out to resist. She could only feel aggrieved in secret. Qin Xianglin warned her that if she played tricks, his revenge would be enough to make her face look bad.

Qin Huairu thought for a moment. Since it wasn't the first time, she just thought he was acting like a mad dog. But she was worried that she would get pregnant with Yi Zhonghai's child again like he did.

Yi Zhonghai had monitored her and not allowed her to take medicine. Qin Huairu knew that long-term medication was harmful to the body, so she thought about finding an opportunity to get an IUD later.

"Come to the tube building to see me once a week, otherwise you will bear the consequences. I will stay where I am." Qin Xianglin ordered, "If you report it again, don't blame yourself for the consequences."

This harassment made Qin Huairu truly afraid of this evil villain.

She felt aggrieved but had no one to tell about it.

Qin Yanru brought the meat back to Qinjia Village, all of which were exchanged by Chen Mu using meat coupons.

The meat is not expensive, but there are no tickets to buy it in the market.

In fact, Chen Mu seldom consumed these meat tickets himself. He often used them to help others solve problems. After accumulating a lot of them, he gave them as rewards for Qin Yanru's work.

"Girl, where did you buy so much meat?" Third Aunt seemed a little surprised.

"Mom, it was given by the employer. I now do laundry, cook, and look after the yard for my employer. The monthly salary is ten yuan. It was introduced by Doctor Chen. Although it's not much, it is a help to our family. Dad hasn't recovered yet, so he needs to eat more to supplement his nutrition." Qin Yanru answered, remembering Chen Mu's words to keep it a secret.

"Doctor Chen is such a kind person, Yanru, you must remember to repay his kindness. If Doctor Chen hadn't saved your father, your father would have died long ago. He has found a new job for you, so don't owe him anything." Qin Huairu's mother warned.

"Don't worry, Mom. I will never forget this love in my life." Qin Yanru said firmly. Although she lived alone in the yard, she was not lonely at all. Doctor Chen's library provided a lot of entertaining reading materials to pass the time.

Although Dr. Chen only came three or four times a month to collect herbs, she was already quite satisfied to be close to the man in her heart. She hoped that one day she would have the opportunity to repay him, and in other words, she hoped to respond to him with her own love.

"Sister, can you please talk to Doctor Chen and find a job for me?" Qin Jingru said earnestly.

Hearing this, Qin Yanru seemed to be in a dilemma: "This..."

"Our family owes Dr. Chen too much, so please don't create more trouble for him," my aunt reminded.

However, Qin Jingru still wanted to argue: "But..."

"Okay, Jingru, let's put this matter aside for now. You are already so old. Last time Huairu mentioned that she would find a partner for you in the city. How is the situation?" Aunt Qin asked.

"Don't mention it. That cousin's family is a mess. After her brother-in-law died, she hastily married an old man. I heard that she got pregnant unexpectedly last time, so she had an abortion and was severely punished by the old man," Qin Jingru said bluntly.

"How could it be? Jingru, you said Huairu married an old man? You must not talk nonsense," Aunt Qin said in surprise.

"Why would I lie to you? That person is actually my brother-in-law's former master. I heard..." Qin Jingru suddenly stopped talking halfway.

"What did you hear?" Aunt Qin asked.

"this..."

Qin Jingru didn't continue when she noticed Qin Yanru glaring at her.

"Yanru, just tell me what happened?" Qin Yanru's mother said.

Qin Yanru was frightened by the discussions and was reluctant to go to Compound No. 95 because of rumors that Jia Dongxu's death was related to Qin Huairu and the old man Yi Zhonghai. If this was true, it would be too scary.

Faced with this situation, Aunt Qin San did not ask for more details. Soon, snowflakes fell again in Beijing, and there was only half a month left before the New Year.

In the courtyard of No. 49 Chaoyangmen, Qin Yanru was still cold even though she was wrapped tightly in a red cotton jacket. Even though she had brought some warm clothing from home, she still felt the chill in the spacious room. After a simple meal, she wanted to go back to her room to sleep.

Chen Mu had already picked up all the herbs in the yard. Chen Mu had a rare moment of leisure, so he stepped into the yard and saw Qin Yanru, who was pale from the cold. He immediately asked with concern, "Why don't you turn on the fireplace? It's so cold, you need to keep warm."

"Brother Chen, I don't want to use too much firewood. I just have a slight cold. It's okay," Qin Yanru replied.

Chen Mu sighed softly: "You are already so cold, how dare you say you are fine?"

Chen Mu went into the house first, took out a plush coat and put it on her: "I'll give it to you first, it's best to keep warm."

Qin Yanru's eyes turned red, and her heart was filled with gratitude. Then, Chen Mu found more bupleurum and lit the fireplace. Soon the house was warm.
