Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

"IUD?! Mom, why would a widow like me get an IUD?"

Qin Huairu asked before she could react.

"Why do I have an IUD? Of course I'm afraid you won't keep your promise. It's not without cost that you inherit my Jia family's work."

Jia Zhang looked at her daughter-in-law's pretty face and said disdainfully:

"Life is not easy for a widow. Mom is an experienced person and knows that women are like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties. When Dongxu's father just passed away, many people in the hospital were targeting me. Even Yi Zhonghai was no exception.

I can't control you if you mess around outside, but at least I can't let you get pregnant with a bastard."

Qin Huairu was also stunned when she heard this.

She didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai, who looked so honest and kind, would actually set his sights on her mother-in-law.

However, when she thought about the fact that Yi Zhonghai had once embezzled money from Sha Zhu, she felt that it was not impossible.

Qin Huairu was a little hesitant. She was still young and naturally wanted to remarry.

But the price of remarrying was unacceptable to her.

She didn't want to give up on the child.

She was silent for a while and finally raised her head and said firmly:

"Mom, don't worry, I won't remarry. I promised Dongxu that I would take good care of you and the child."

Jia Zhang also felt relieved when she heard Qin Huairu's words.

In fact, she was also afraid that Qin Huairu would remarry.

If that time really came, she would not be able to work in the factory at her age, and these children would be a burden, so she thought for a long time before proposing these two conditions for Qin Huairu to choose.

There were two conditions, but since Jia Zhang wanted to keep the child with her, Qin Huairu had no choice.

"This is your own decision. Mom didn't force you. Come with me to the steel mill tomorrow."

Qin Huairu nodded, accepting her fate.

The next day, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu took Jia Dongxu's ashes to the steel rolling mill.

Although the steel mill lost money, Jia Zhang felt that the money was not enough for her retirement.

So she wanted to get some compensation.

As soon as Director Yang arrived at the steel rolling mill in the morning, he heard his subordinates report that Jia Dongxu's family had come to the factory to cause trouble.

"Didn't the factory provide work injury subsidies to their family? Why did Jia Dongxu's family come here to cause trouble?"

"Director, Jia Dongxu's condition worsened a few days ago and she died after being sent to the hospital. Now her mother has come to the factory with Jia Dongxu's ashes to ask for an explanation."

When the secretary mentioned Jia Zhang, his expression was obviously a little ugly.

After all, this old woman was very difficult to deal with just now.

"Where is the other person?"

"I've assigned the people to the logistics department first."

"I remember Jia Dongxu has a master named Yi Zhonghai. Go and ask him to come over."

When Yi Zhonghai heard that Jia Zhang was coming to the factory, he felt a little upset.

Based on his understanding of Jia Zhang, he had no idea what this guy was doing here.

Yi Zhonghai, who wanted to get rid of the Jia family, decided not to get involved in this matter this time.

Sure enough, when Yi Zhonghai arrived at the logistics meeting room, he heard Jia Zhang swearing at the leaders inside.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to hide, but his secretary was right behind him and he couldn't get away.

As expected, when Yi Zhonghai entered, Jia Zhang shouted at him:

"Master Dongxu, you have to make the decision for Dongxu. Dongxu lost his life for the steel mill. Now the steel mill wants to withhold my compensation. The steel mill is so unjust!!!"

This was the first time that Director Yang encountered such a difficult woman.

The first thing he asked for was a thousand yuan in compensation.

She really dared to speak up.

It’s not that the steel mill can’t afford the money.

However, there are regulations for work injury compensation.

Moreover, Jia Dongxu’s work injury compensation has already been reported, and it is impossible for one person to get compensation twice.

Although Jia Dongxu was injured in the factory, Yi Zhonghai brought a certificate from the hospital when he applied for compensation.

Now that Jia Dongxu is dead, it logically has nothing to do with the steel mill.

It is impossible for Director Yang to approve any compensation for her at will.

Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to respond. If he dared to stand on Jia Zhang's side today, he would be offending the factory leaders.

He doesn't want to be made trouble by Director Yang in the future.

"Sister Jia, didn't I apply for work injury compensation for you before? The factory also compensated according to the highest standards, and you signed it at that time."

“That’s because my son was alive then, but now that he’s dead, you guys at the steel mill want to send me away with just a few hundred bucks. I tell you, it’s impossible!

My old Jia lost his life in this factory, and now my son is dead too. It was your steel mill that killed the male members of my Jia family!"

As Jia Zhang spoke, she started to cry.

Director Yang and several other leaders were also troubled by what they heard.

Director Yang didn't want to get involved with Jia Zhang, so he exchanged glances with Li Huaide.

Li Huaide had no choice but to stand up and say:

"Mrs. Jia, we at the factory are very sympathetic to your son's situation. But the factory's compensation was not determined by us. We are also powerless."

"Bullshit, my son is dead. You just say a few words and want to let it go! It's not that easy. If the steel mill doesn't pay me, I will hang myself here with Dongxu's ashes!"

When Qin Huairu heard this, although she was a little expectant, she still had a tearful expression on her face and stopped her mother-in-law.

Li Huaide had Jia Zhang spit all over his face and he had no choice but to retreat.

But when he saw Qin Huairu, he couldn't help but feel his eyes light up.

This woman is so beautiful.

She looks more attractive than Liu Lan.

Jia Dongxu is so lucky to marry such a beautiful woman.

The only pity is that he was a short-lived man and couldn't have the pleasure of having such a beautiful daughter-in-law.

But this is good news for him.

Qin Huairu's widow attributes just satisfy Li Huaide's preferences.

If only this woman could be put to work in a steel mill.

If I can use a little trick to win her over, I will have a blast in the factory.

Seeing that Jia Zhang was not willing to take in the smoke, Director Yang could only appease him with kind words and then took a few leaders to discuss a solution.

After all, Jia Dongxu’s incident happened at the steel mill.

The steel mill should not be too unsympathetic.

The most important thing is that if Jia Zhang makes too much trouble, the people above will find out.

By then it won't be just a matter of a few hundred dollars in compensation.

Therefore, Director Yang still hopes to suppress this matter as much as possible.

After several factory leaders left, they held a simple meeting and drew up a preliminary plan.

Li Huaide took the initiative to take charge of this matter for ulterior motives.

Since someone is willing to take over this mess, Director Yang is naturally happy to let go.

Li Huaide returned to the conference room and subconsciously glanced at Qin Huairu's body.

The eyes linger especially on some key areas.

Qin Huairu felt a little uncomfortable with this aggressive gaze.

She subconsciously dodged back.

Li Huaide pulled over a chair and sat down and said:

"Auntie, we leaders have just discussed this. We have come up with a solution for Comrade Jia Dongxu's pension issue. You can listen to it first.

The first is the issue of compensation. Our steel mill can only give you a maximum of 300 yuan in compensation plus funeral expenses."

When Jia Zhang heard the amount, she was not willing to agree to it. She jumped up and cursed:

"Your steel mill is treating beggars like this! Is my son's life only worth 300 yuan?!"
