Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

midnight.

Jia Zhang couldn't sleep anyway, so she turned on the light and prepared to go to the bathroom, only to find that Qin Huairu was not asleep either.

Qin Huairu was thinking about Zhang Zhiqiang. Now that she learned that Ran Qiuye had given birth to a son, she felt that her life had become a lot darker.

"Huairu."

Jia Zhang cried out softly.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Qin Huairu responded that what happened in the afternoon had made things awkward between the two of them, but it couldn’t stay awkward forever.

After all, the Jia family has no men, and Bang Geng has not grown up yet, so now they have to rely on the two widows to support them.

"Hey, can we talk? Mom wants to tell you something from the bottom of her heart."

Jia Zhang sighed and said, a shrewd look flashing in her eyes, which was completely different from usual.

"it is good."

Qin Huairu followed Jia Zhang to the table and sat down on the bed, saying that she was afraid of disturbing Banggeng and the others' sleep.

Qin Huairu was still waiting to see what Jia Zhang was going to say to her, but instead, Jia Zhang knelt down in front of her.

"Mom, please get up quickly. You are shortening my life."

Qin Huairu anxiously helped Jia Zhang up. After all, Jia Zhang was the mother-in-law, so how could a mother-in-law kneel down to her daughter-in-law?

"Huai Ru, you can't remarry. If you remarry, the Jia family will not be able to survive."

This is also the reason why Jia Zhang couldn't sleep today.

Now the Jia family is entirely supported by Qin Huairu. If Qin Huairu is determined to remarry, she will no longer care about the Jia family.

The Jia family would be finished. If Qin Huairu took the three children away again, it would be the end of her life.

Jia Zhang has long lost her ability to make money. Leaving her alone in the Jia family would be no different from taking her life. How long can the several hundred yuan pension money last?

"Mom, what are you talking about? Which man is willing to marry a widow with three children? Get up quickly."

Qin Huairu said helplessly and helped Jia Zhang to sit down.

"You're not going to remarry?"

Jia Zhang asked. She had to know a definite answer, otherwise she would not be able to sleep well.

"I won't remarry. I just said that. I was wrong today. Mom, I apologize to you."

Qin Huairu said something softly, saying that the three children at home still had to be taken care of by Jia Zhang, and no problems could be allowed to occur to the two of them.

"Mom is not right, but Banggeng is indeed growing up. How can he bear to eat vegetarian food every day?"

Jia Zhang explained that she just wanted to eat meat, but it was impossible for her to tell the truth at this time.

"Just bear with it for a while. I'll think of a way. Now that Shazhu is gone, no one will send them meat."

Qin Huairu said with a sigh.

Although she looked down on Sha Zhu, it was undeniable that Sha Zhu was really good to their Jia family. Now that Sha Zhu was gone, the Jia family suddenly fell into difficulties.

Now she can only rely on Yi Zhonghai, but Yi Zhonghai is too shrewd and it is impossible for him to help them without reservation like Sha Zhu.

"That's all we can do. Thank you for your hard work, Huairu. The family can only rely on you now."

"Mom knows you blame me in your heart, but I'm a widow and there's really nothing I can do."

As Jia Zhang spoke, she burst into tears and looked very miserable.

"What are you talking about, mom? No matter what, you are my mother-in-law. How can a daughter-in-law blame her mother-in-law?"

Jia Zhang really cried, which had a great impact on Qin Huairu. She also said that she had never blamed Jia Zhang.

"Huai Ru, you really don't blame mom?"

"real."

Qin Huairu nodded firmly and started to cry.

"Huai Ru, my good daughter-in-law."

The two widows, one big and one small, hugged each other and cried.

…………

The next afternoon.

Zhang Zhiqiang returned to the courtyard. He wanted to take a shower and get ready because he had to go to work tomorrow.

As a result, an unexpected guest knocked on the door.

Zhang Zhiqiang thought it was Xu Damao, but after opening the door he found out it was a woman.

"Who are you? Yan Jiecheng's wife?"

Zhang Zhiqiang asked. He and Yu Li had never spoken to each other before, so he didn't know why she came to see him today.

"Yes, my name is Yu Li, Comrade Zhang Zhiqiang, I need your help with something."

Yu Li blushed slightly and spoke.

"Looking for me? Your father-in-law is the third uncle in the courtyard. If you have any problem, you should look for her."

Zhang Zhiqiang asked doubtfully.

He was keenly aware that this might be a trap. Are the three uncles in the yard going to deal with him again? So he didn't think of letting Yu Li into the house.

"Um, Comrade Zhang Zhiqiang, can I go in and talk?"

Yu Li asked awkwardly.

"Let's talk about it here. No one is home right now. If we stay alone in a room, it will be bad for your reputation if it gets out."

Zhang Zhiqiang became more and more convinced that this was a trap and was determined not to let Yu Li enter the house.

"Then... that's fine."

"It's like this. I spend the day pasting matchboxes at the street office. Sometimes I follow my husband to do odd jobs. This is my job."

Yu Li began to introduce her basic situation.

"and then?"

Zhang Zhiqiang motioned Yu Li to continue. To be honest, Yu Li is still very beautiful.

After getting married with him, Ran Qiuye now has the charm of a mature woman, while Yu Li still seems like a little girl. I don’t know why.

"I don't want to go on like this. Comrade Zhang Zhiqiang, I know you have many friends and connections. Can you help me get a job in the steel mill?"

"Don't worry, I can do the job."

Yu Li added.

She really didn't want to live like this anymore. If she didn't work, she wouldn't get paid. Unlike formal workers like Zhang Zhiqiang, she had one day off a week and could take leave if she had something to do, and her pay would not be deducted.

"???"

"Why should I help you?"

Zhang Zhiqiang was speechless. There were so many people working in the steel rolling mill, and everyone was assigned a position. How could there be any extra vacancies?

Even if there is, why should he help Yu Li? If he helps Yu Li today, will Wang Li or Liu Li come to him tomorrow? That doesn't make sense.

"I……"

Yu Li was silent. People nowadays are very simple and honest. They believe in helping others and giving roses to others will leave a lingering fragrance on your hands.

Why does Zhang Zhiqiang ask for something in return for helping others? This is not a good person.

"Comrade Zhang Zhiqiang, this is the fifty yuan I saved. Could you please help me out? I really don't have anything else to give."

Yu Li looked at Zhang Zhiqiang with a pleading look.

Originally, she could ask Yi Zhonghai for help in this matter, but Yu Li's sixth sense told her that Yi Zhonghai was not a good person, so she came to Zhang Zhiqiang for help.

Zhang Zhiqiang looked at the money in Yu Li's hand. There was only one Big Unity banknote, and the rest were scattered bills.

"The worker's position is definitely not acceptable. Every position is full. Can you accept helping in the kitchen?"

"The good thing about this place is that lunch is free, but the work intensity is not low and the salary is just so-so."

Zhang Zhiqiang asked. He had a good relationship with Director Hao, the director of the second canteen, and if Yu Li was willing, he could help convey a message.

After all, his monthly salary is only 99 yuan now. He can earn half a month's salary by just saying a few words. Why not do it?

As for the money, it was earned by Yu Li with great difficulty and it had nothing to do with him. If he asked Yan Bugui to do this, he would only spend more.
