Chapter 872 Qin Huairu was scolded by Jia Zhangshi
Qin Huairu secretly groaned in her heart. She never thought that Yi Zhonghai would be so shrewd this time and not as easy to fool as before. However, when she thought about the house in the backyard, if she couldn't get it, Jia Zhang's temper would make her life very chaotic and even drive her crazy. After weighing the pros and cons, she gritted her teeth, looked up at Yi Zhonghai, and said helplessly: "Uncle Yi, please let me go back and think about it carefully. Do you think this is okay?" After saying that, her eyes revealed a hint of hesitation and struggle.
Yi Zhonghai wasn't as simple-minded as He Yuzhu, who was easily led by others. He looked at Qin Huairu with deep eyes and said coldly, "Qin Huairu, I'm going to go back and rest first. You must give me a definite answer tomorrow morning. If there's still no movement by dawn, you should know what I should do then." His tone was filled with unquestionable majesty, as if warning Qin Huairu not to play any tricks.
Qin Huairu was immediately anxious when she heard this. She wanted to try again. After all, it would be better if the problem could be solved without such extreme means. In her mind, Yi Zhonghai was old-fashioned and stubborn, like a patient who was stuck in a dead end and difficult to understand. She frowned and tried to communicate with Yi Zhonghai in a more gentle way: "Old Yi, this matter..."
But Yi Zhonghai didn't buy her tricks at all. He wasn't like He Yuzhu, who could be coaxed into submission with just a few nice words. Without even glancing at Qin Huairu, he turned around and walked back to rest with a steady pace, leaving Qin Huairu standing there blankly, staring at his departing figure.
Qin Huairu bit her lip, her heart filled with resentment. She subconsciously cast her gaze towards Gu Nan's family, her eyes burning with jealousy and resentment: "Gu Nan, your family is doing so well now, why can't you help our family? Are you content to watch us struggle in this hardship?" At this moment, her hatred was not only directed at Gu Nan's family, but also at He Yuzhu's family. She couldn't help but wonder, if He Yuzhu was still like before, listening to her and helping her with everything, why would she have to work so hard and run around asking for help?
Qin Huairu was helpless and couldn't think of any good solution. She really didn't want to do those things that were so humiliating and begging others, but the pressure of life left her with no choice.
Qin Huairu returned home exhausted and troubled. As soon as she entered, Jia Zhang came over like a cat smelling fish, eagerly asking, "How's it going, Qin Huairu? Has old man Yi Zhonghai agreed to pay? He's only so useful. If he doesn't agree, let's not ask Banggeng to support him in his old age. Let's see what he can do!"
When Qin Huairu heard this, she knew that Jia Zhang must have thought so. She hesitated for a moment, as if thinking for a long time, before slowly speaking, "Mom, Yi Zhonghai is also short of money right now and can't come up with any money at all. Can we think of a way to get this money ourselves?"
In Jia Zhang's mind, she always felt that others were calculating against her. When she heard Qin Huairu's words, her eyes widened and she looked at Qin Huairu suspiciously: "Qin Huairu, did Yi Zhonghai already give you the money? Are you planning to save it secretly?"
Qin Huairu never expected that Jia Zhang would speculate about her so maliciously. She was angry and anxious, and hurriedly said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? How could you think of me like that?"
Jia Zhang knew in her heart that she had indeed said too much and had been too careless with her words. But with her stubborn and face-conscious personality, how could she easily apologize to Qin Huairu? She stiffened her neck, glanced at Qin Huairu, and said unhappily, "How should I know? I'm not a god! Besides, I really don't have any money in my pocket right now. I can't take out a single penny." Her attitude was still very tough, with no intention of giving in.
Qin Huairu was so angry that her face turned red and her chest heaved violently. She opened her mouth and wanted to argue a few more words, but Jia Zhang didn't give her a chance at all. She turned around and walked into the house, muttering, "I've been busy all day and I'm so tired. I'm going to bed." After a while, her pretended snoring was heard, and the sound seemed to be deliberately annoyed by Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu stood there, bewildered, not knowing what to do. Just as she was filled with anxiety, like an ant on a hot pan, the image of He Yuzhu suddenly flashed through her mind. Yes, He Yuzhu usually took good care of her family. Maybe he could lend her some money to help with her immediate needs.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu could no longer care about anything else. She hurriedly put on a coat and went out. Jia Zhangshi heard the noise without even raising her eyelids, thinking to herself: As long as you are at home, I don't care about anything else. As for what Qin Huairu was thinking, she knew that she had no control over it.
Qin Huairu hurried along and soon arrived at the door of He Yuzhu's house. In the past, when she came to He Yuzhu's house, she always pushed the door open and walked in without any courtesy. But today, she was surprised to find that the door of He Yuzhu's house was locked. In desperation, she raised her hand and knocked on the door gently, her voice filled with a bit of anxiety and expectation: "Zhuzi, I am Qin Huairu, Zhuzi, are you there?"
After a while, the door creaked open, and it was not He Yuzhu who appeared at the door, but Lu Jia. Lu Jia looked at Qin Huairu with a puzzled look on her face. She didn't know why Qin Huairu came to see He Yuzhu so late, but out of politeness, she smiled and asked, "Sister Qin, it's so late, I wonder what you want to see Zhuzi about?"
Qin Huairu subconsciously glanced inside the room, feeling a little hesitant, but at this point, she couldn't care less. She looked at Lu Jia, a hint of embarrassment flashing through her eyes, and stammered, "Lu Jia, I have something private to tell He Yuzhu, you see..." She had hoped that Lu Jia would tactfully avoid the situation, but Lu Jia stood there, showing no intention of leaving.
At this moment, He Yuzhu heard the sound and came over from the inner room. He saw Qin Huairu standing at the door, a hint of surprise on his face, and asked casually: "Sister Qin, what do you want to talk to me about? I've been working all day and my back is sore. I'm just about to rest. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly."
Qin Huairu looked at Lu Jia, then at He Yuzhu, gritted her teeth, and mustered up the courage to say, "Zhuzi, I...can I borrow some money? We really can't make ends meet at home, and the children are crying because they are hungry. I really have no other choice." As she spoke, her eyes turned slightly red, and her face was full of helplessness and pleading.
