Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Chapter 26 Unexpected

In Jia Zhangshi's words, she had been both a father and a mother to her son and had finally raised him to adulthood and had a daughter-in-law. Shouldn't she be able to relax a bit?

Jia Dongxu always told Qin Huairu that his mother had a hard time raising him and asked her to be more understanding.

This understanding has lasted for ten years!

Even when she was heavily pregnant, she still did all the work that needed to be done.

After Jia Dongxu went to work, Qin Huairu took Xiaodang and went out, not wanting to face Jia Zhangshi.

As for the stick-shaped pun?

Since he was in school, Qin Huairu didn't need to worry about him much. Even if something happened, Jia Zhangshi would lend a hand, after all, Banggeng was her precious grandson.

As she passed the door of the rear room, Qin Huairu couldn't help but take another look.

When Qin Huairu saw that the door was locked, she sighed inwardly.

Last night, she spent half the night thinking about what Yu Li had said. She didn't know if Yu Li had said it on purpose to drive her away, or if Yu Li really had such thoughts.

I suppose it was to force her to leave!

But Qin Huairu couldn't help but recall the things Yu Li had mentioned about the couple. Yu Li said that Shen Zhishou never stopped talking at night.

Some things, the more you try not to think about them, the more they keep popping into your head.

Qin Huairu is in just this state!

……

Yu Li waited at the neighborhood office for a long time, but didn't get any suitable work. There were some physically demanding jobs, but these kinds of jobs were usually given priority to men.

Helpless, she could only wander around the courtyard house in a depressed mood.

On her way back to the courtyard house, Yu Li couldn't help but think about how Shen Zhishou had said he would help her find a formal job, but she wondered when that would be possible.

However, Yu Li didn't urge them.

After all, it's really hard to find a formal job.

If formal jobs were easy to find, the neighborhood office wouldn't have so many people waiting to be assigned work every day.

When Li walked to the alley outside the courtyard at No. 95, she saw Qin Huairu holding Xiao Dang.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

When Yu Li saw Qin Huairu, she greeted her with a smile, as if she wasn't the one who told Qin Huairu to sleep with Shen Zhishou last night, and that the two still had a harmonious relationship.

Qin Huairu's skin wasn't as thick as it was at the beginning of the story, and she was completely stumped by Yu Li's actions.

"Sister-in-law, would you like to come to my place for a while?"

"Ah, no, no, I'll just sunbathe for a while!"

Qin Huairu quickly refused.

She couldn't act like yesterday didn't exist, like Yu Li did.

As a result, Yu Li didn't give Qin Huairu a chance to completely refuse. She took her arm and pulled her away.

Qin Huairu was practically dragged back to the courtyard house by Yu Li.

When the two returned to the courtyard house, Yang Ruihua had just finished cleaning the public toilet. The moment he saw Yu Li, Yang Ruihua's face darkened.

Yu Li should have been her daughter-in-law.

But because of the house, their perfectly good daughter-in-law was gone, and they couldn't even make a scene.

However, every time I think about this, I feel frustrated!

The more comfortable Yu Li's life became, the more upset Yang Ruihua became.

As for Yu Li, she showed no kindness whatsoever when she saw Yang Ruihua. If she hadn't met Shen Zhishou, even if she knew the house didn't belong to the Yan family, she wouldn't have been able to get a divorce. She could only blame her bad luck.

Unlike now, she's incredibly lucky!

"Little Dang, come on, have some candy!"

When they got home, Yu Li found the candy jar and put a small piece of rock candy in Xiao Dang's mouth. She didn't dare to give him too much, since Xiao Dang was still young and if he accidentally choked on it, it would hurt both of them.

Looking at Yu Li, who was as enthusiastic as ever, Qin Huairu became increasingly confused about what Yu Li really meant.

After Yu Li said those things, why was she still able to interact with her without changing her expression?

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. I didn't think before I spoke yesterday. Please don't be angry!"

Seeing Qin Huairu's uncomfortable expression, Yu Li sincerely apologized to her.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu instinctively replied, "It's not your fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have come!"

"Sister-in-law, I know you had no choice!"

"I'm not blaming you!"

"Yeah, I was a bit too angry and confused at the time!"

"Don't hold it against me. From now on, let's keep in touch!"

Yu Li remained very close to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu felt a little awkward.

"My dear sister-in-law, please forgive me this time!"

"Let me tell you, just because I said the wrong thing yesterday, my husband kept me up half the night. I really know I was wrong!"

As soon as Yu Li said those words, Qin Huairu's face turned red instantly.

She couldn't believe that Yu Li, who had only been married for a short time, could speak so recklessly and without restraint.

"Yu Li, you, stop talking!"

Qin Huairu felt something was wrong. She felt that Yu Li's words were not simply an apology. But what exactly did Yu Li want to do?

Qin Huairu never dreamed that Yu Li really wanted to match her up with Shen Zhishou.

……

In fact, not only Qin Huairu couldn't have imagined it, but Shen Zhishou couldn't have either.

Shen Zhishou thought that after Yu Li said those words to Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu would stay far away from her from now on. After all, this was no longer the time before liberation, and taking a concubine was not allowed at that time.

Upon arriving at the grain depot, work continued to be busy.

Although Shen Zhishou wasn't tired, he still had to constantly move the grain from the warehouse to the front because there were many people buying grain. Therefore, he didn't have time to think about anything else.

Shen Zhishou didn't eat until lunchtime, when he was summoned to Su Fuying's office by the grain station director.

"Director, you wanted to see me?"

Shen Zhishou looked at Su Fuying with neither servility nor arrogance.

Su Fuying raised her hand, gesturing for Shen Zhishou to sit down and talk.

After Shen Zhishou was seated, Su Fuying told him about his job transfer.

"The person who will replace you will report for duty tomorrow. This is your transfer letter to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill!"

With a smile, Su Fuying handed a job transfer letter to Shen Zhishou.

Shen Zhishou quickly got up and took the job transfer letter, looking somewhat embarrassed. After all, he had just been officially hired and hadn't even had a few days of proper work before being transferred to another unit.

To be honest, I have somewhat let down the two leaders of the grain station who have nurtured me.

"Xiao Shen, don't overthink it. You're a capable person; it's really a waste of your talents to keep you at our grain station!"

"I hope you can achieve even greater success at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill!"

"Thank you, Director!"

"I will definitely work hard and not bring shame to our grain depot!"

Shen Zhishou could only offer polite words.

After all, he really didn't know what to say.

Su Fuying just smiled and said, "Alright, get back to work. Our grain station is counting on you until your replacement arrives!"

"Please rest assured, Director!"

Shen Zhishou made a solemn statement.

"These two guys are incredibly efficient!"

As Shen Zhishou left Su Fuying's office, he couldn't help but think of Wang Weigong and Yang Zhenhua. He had thought that it would take some time for these two to arrange a job change, but to his surprise, it was all settled in just two days.
