Chapter 155: The Jia family returns to the pre-liberation era, Qin Huairu's demands

Just as Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu returned home, the people outside did not leave, but were waiting for the "good show" to come, wanting to see what would happen next.

Soon.

The door of the Jia family's room was opened, and Jia Dongxu said to Jia Zhang outside: "Mom, come in for a moment."

"What are you going into?"

"Why did you ask Qin Huairu to come out and hide?"

"I want to see, she has the guts to steal my private money, and now she is so cowardly?"

"Wasn't she very tough at home before?"

"Come out, what is she afraid of?"

"..."

Apparently, Jia Zhang had endured for a long time the fact that Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were "plotting" in the house without telling her. Now that they had finished discussing it, Qin Huairu was hiding in the house and refused to come out, which made her even more convinced that it was Qin Huairu who had stolen her private money.

"Mom, if there is anything you can't talk about, come in first."

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to beg.

If the commotion continues, even if the police aren't called, it will become a laughing stock for other people in the hospital.

After venting for a while, she felt that a group of people were watching the fun around her, and then saw Jia Dongxu's embarrassed face. Jia Zhang had to control her temper and walked back to her room reluctantly.

Even if it was really Qin Huairu who stole her private money, she could only endure it in order not to make things difficult for her son.

The most important thing now is to get back those private money.

"Where's Qin Huairu? Ask her to come out."

When she entered the house, she found that Qin Huairu was not there. Jia Zhang knew that she was in the inner room and thought that she was hiding and didn't dare to see her. She was immediately furious.

"Mom, please keep your voice down. Those people are still outside! Don't let others laugh at you."

Jia Dongxu hurried to comfort him.

Seeing how irritable Jia Zhang was, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but feel hesitant about what he should do next.

As soon as Jia Dongxu finished speaking, Qin Huairu came out from the inner room.

When Jia Zhang found the slap mark on Qin Huairu's face, she was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at Jia Dongxu.

This is the first time that Jia Dongxu has laid hands on Qin Huairu after marrying her for so many years!

But in this matter, Qin Huairu really deserved to be beaten.

Just when Jia Zhang began to make excuses for her son, she saw Jia Dongxu suddenly plop down on his knees in front of her.

The same scene inside the house happened again.

But this time, Jia Dongxu was kneeling not to Qin Huairu, but to Jia Zhang.

"Mom, I'm sorry!"

"I'll be honest with you. I took the five hundred plus dollars of your private savings."

"Don't shout!"

"Please don't shout. If you recruit everyone, not only will I be finished, but our family will be finished as well."

"..."

Jia Dongxu's opening gave Jia Zhang a big "surprise", making her feel caught off guard.

Before she even had a chance to react, Jia Dongxu's reminder or warning came out.

"Dongxu, are you kidding me?"

Even though Jia Dongxu admitted that he was the one who took the private money, Jia Zhang was still a little bit unconvinced.

Look at the slap mark on Qin Huairu's face. Isn't it because Qin Huairu stole his private money and Jia Dongxu was so angry that he taught her a lesson?
"Mom, I'm not kidding!"

"No matter how angry or unacceptable what I'm about to say is, you must remain calm. Can you promise me that?"

"Dong... Dongxu, you talk, mom is listening."

"I used your private money to pay off my gambling debts..."

"Gambling debt? What!"

"mom!"

"Dongxu, you..."

"..."

Knowing that Jia Dongxu was involved in gambling and had lost all his private money because of it, and that it had started a long time ago, Jia Zhang felt that Jia Dongxu, who was kneeling in front of her, was so strange.

Is this still his son?

No matter how outsiders evaluate Jia Dongxu, in Jia Zhang's eyes, Jia Dongxu has always been her only and best son.

Being addicted to gambling and even losing all his family fortune is something that Jia Dongxu has nothing to do with.

But I never expected it!
"Dongxu, how dare you?"

Everything went dark before her eyes and Jia Zhang felt like she was going to faint on the spot.

"mom!"

Seeing that Jia Zhang was almost unable to stand and was about to fall, Jia Dongxu quickly stood up and supported her.

"Mom, I know I was wrong."

“I will definitely change this!”

"But you must not report it to the police station, otherwise if they arrest me, who will take care of you in your old age?"

"Think about it, I'm still cleaning toilets and renovating them in the factory! If the factory knew that I stole your money and went gambling, even if they didn't fire me, they would at least give me a severe punishment."

"If I lose this job, my family won't even have 18 yuan a month. How are we going to survive?"

"Look, this is the IOU I wrote to you, along with the 100 yuan I paid you. I will definitely correct my attitude and behave well next time, and I will pay you back slowly when my salary increases."

"Not only that, I will also pay you back the pension money I haven't given you during this period, as well as the money you spent on buying medicinal flowers..."

"..."

Listening to Jia Dongxu's words, Jia Zhang suddenly found that she didn't know what to say.

What can she do?

At this time, she really hoped that her private money was really stolen by thieves outside, rather than being lost by Jia Dongxu overnight.

At the very least, if the thief steals something, there is a chance that it can be recovered.

But if Jia Dongxu lost it all, it would be gone.

The whole family had worked hard to save up their wealth for so many years, but it was all gone like that.

The key point is that Jia Dongxu’s words just now also reminded her.

Things have come to this, if Jia Dongxu loses his job, their family will be completely out of options.

What's more, Jia Dongxu is her only biological son. Even if Jia Zhang wants to beat him to death now, she can't really report to the police station and have him arrested, right?

However, Jia Zhang had already begun to be disappointed with her son Jia Dongxu.

His gaze fell on Qin Huairu standing beside him. Looking at the red slap marks on her face, and then thinking about how she had taken the blame for Jia Dongxu but he had treated her like that, the expression on his face became complicated.

All of this was caused by his own son.

"Huai Ru, Mom is sorry!"

Jia Zhang, who was heartbroken, finally found her conscience and apologized to Qin Huairu.

Not only do I feel guilty, I'm also afraid.

Not to mention what happened before, just based on her attitude towards Qin Huairu just now, Jia Zhang was really afraid that Qin Huairu would feel wronged and run back to her parents' home again.

If I run away again this time, I may not come back.

After all, all their family assets had been squandered by Jia Dongxu alone, and their monthly salary was so little that it was almost the same as that of a poor household.

Before, I planned to let Jia Dongxu live a hard life and then work hard to make progress.

As a result, from today on, their whole family will really start to live a hard life, and they don’t know when it will end.

Faced with her mother-in-law's apology, Qin Huairu did not say a word, and there was no ripple in her heart.

Because she didn't know how long her mother-in-law's conscience would last this time.

However, Jia Zhang was not in the mood to care about these things now. The most important thing right now was how to handle and resolve this matter. There were so many people watching outside!
After a while.

The door of the Jia family's room was opened again, but only Jia Zhang and her son Jia Dongxu came out.

Qin Huairu had just been slapped by Jia Dongxu, and the slap mark was still there. It was obviously not appropriate for her to come out at this time, otherwise she would not know how to explain to everyone later. "Jia Zhang, have you asked clearly whether your private money was stolen by Qin Huairu?"

"That's right, you called all of us here for your matter, but you guys just locked yourself up."

"What was the result? Tell me!"

"Where's Qin Huairu? Why didn't I see her come out?"

"Jia Dongxu, call your wife out and explain it to her face to face!"

"..."

The appearance of Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi caused the people waiting outside to start gossiping.

Hearing everyone's voices, Jia Zhang's face turned ugly, but she had to force a smile and apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone. I was confused. The private money was not lost. I moved to a new place last time and forgot about it... I'm sorry to call everyone here so late..."

"what the hell!"

"Ms. Jia Zhang, aren't you playing a joke on all of us?"

"That's right, is there anyone like you?"

"Fortunately it wasn't lost. If you had just acted like that, suspecting both Wang Weiguo and your own daughter-in-law, maybe everyone would have become a thief in your eyes."

"unlucky!"

"It's gone. It's gone."

"Not at all."

"..."

Jia Zhang herself stood up and said that the money was not lost. Naturally, the whole hospital meeting could not continue. Everyone complained a few words and left before Yi Zhonghai announced the adjournment of the meeting.

In the eyes of everyone, tonight was a farce, but Wang Weiguo knew that Jia Zhang was now suffering in silence and could not express her pain.

There's nothing she can do about it. It's her fault for giving birth to and raising such an unlucky and spendthrift guy like Jia Dongxu.

Not surprisingly.

Even if Jia Zhang hated Jia Dongxu for not living up to her expectations, she could only swallow her anger.

"Sister-in-law, is your private money really not lost?"

The crowd dispersed gradually, but Yi Zhonghai walked towards Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu, mother and son.

Yi Zhonghai actually didn't believe Jia Zhang's final statement.

What a child's play.

Although Jia Zhang had made many jokes in the yard, what happened today was a bit outrageous and weird.

Not only Yi Zhonghai, other people in the courtyard may also have doubts and doubts, but since Jia Zhang said so herself, what else can they say?
"Master Dongxu, I'm sorry for causing you trouble today."

More than 500 private money and a gold ring were completely lost. What's more, the culprit of all this was actually her own son. She also learned the shocking news that he was a gambling addict. Jia Zhang's spirit was completely gone today, but she couldn't let Yi Zhonghai know this.

Jia Zhang was not unaware of Yi Zhonghai's purpose in accepting her son as his apprentice and helping their family over the years, but she did not take it too seriously, or perhaps she was fearless.

But these days are different.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai had a "request" from Jia Dongxu, but if he knew that Jia Dongxu was a gambling addict, it would be uncertain whether this "request" would still exist.

Once they are gone, their attitude towards them may not be the same as before, let alone helping the Jia family with all their might.

Today's Jia family really cannot do without Yi Zhonghai's support.

Seeing Jia Dongxu also said a few words of apology and then helped Jia Zhang back, Yi Zhonghai, who stayed there, frowned.

a long time.

Looking at the Jia family with the door closed, Yi Zhonghai, who was standing outside, sighed somewhat dejectedly and turned back to his room.

……

The night is getting darker.

On an evening when there is not much entertainment, the residents in the courtyard have gradually prepared to turn off the lights and go to bed.

The same is true for the Jia family.

"Bang Geng, you sleep with grandma tonight!"

"No, I want to sleep with mom!"

"Be good! I'll buy you a soda tomorrow!"

"Really?"

"Can grandma still lie to you?"

"Then I will sleep with you, grandma. I love you the most."

"..."

Before sleep.

Jia Zhang specially coaxed Bang Geng to her bed to create a separate "world for two" for Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, obviously wanting Jia Dongxu to coax Qin Huairu.

After all, during this period of time, especially today, Qin Huairu had suffered a lot because of her and Jia Dongxu, so naturally she had to be comforted.

Jia Dongxu naturally understood Jia Zhang's intention, especially since Jia Zhang had just called him out to give him some instructions.

Seeing the little actions of Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu, the mother and son, Qin Huairu obviously guessed something. Instead of feeling any joy in her heart, she felt a little annoyed.

After some time.

After Jia Zhang coaxed Banggeng to sleep, her snoring could soon be heard outside.

"Huai Ru, I'm sorry for making you suffer today."

"Do not touch me!"

"Huai Ru..."

"Jia Dongxu, let's calm down for a while!"

"Qin Huairu, don't be shameless!"

"If you dare to touch me, I will go back to my parents' house tomorrow!"

"Huai Ru, don't be angry, I just..."

"Rest! You have to go to work tomorrow."

"..."

He originally wanted to say some soft and nice words to Qin Huairu, or even "comfort" her in a man's way, but Qin Huairu didn't give him this opportunity at all, and didn't give him any face at all.

Afraid of angering Qin Huairu so much that she would go back to her parents' home, Jia Dongxu didn't dare to move. However, he felt embarrassed and sulked. He could only turn his back and close his eyes to the cold wall.

Not long after, Jia Dongxu fell into a deep sleep and began to snore.

At this time, Qin Huairu opened her eyes and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

When the night is deep and the people are affectionate.

Everyone in the yard was fast asleep. In the Jia family's house, where snoring was heard everywhere, Qin Huairu, who couldn't fall asleep at all, quietly got up and left.

Qin Huairu walked lightly to the front yard and looked at the east wing where the lights were off. She stood outside for a while, but she was afraid of disturbing other people in the yard, so she didn't dare to go forward and knock on the door.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly saw Wang Weiguo open the door.

Qin Huairu sneaked in on her own without Wang Weiguo's hint.

"You didn't sleep?"

As soon as she closed the door, she couldn't wait to hug Wang Weiguo and asked in a low voice.

Looking at Qin Huairu in his arms, Wang Weiguo couldn't help but teasingly said, "I was asleep, and suddenly a little wild cat came outside and woke me up again."

Qin Huairu blushed when she heard this.

"Have you been wronged in the Jia family again?"

Wang Weiguo felt helpless when he noticed that the slap mark on Qin Huairu's face had not yet completely disappeared.

"Hmm~"

"Do you want a towel this time?"

"Wang Weiguo!"

"Ok?"

"love me!"

"..."
