Chapter 249

Jia Zhangshi strongly supported Yan Jiecheng's behavior; in the neighbors' eyes, it was outright clownish conduct, and everyone watching found it amusing.

The so-called amusement.

It is waiting for Jia Zhangshi to cry.

Everyone wants to know the reason Jia Zhangshi learns that Yan Fugui and Yan Jiecheng have severed ties—because Yan Jiecheng insists on marrying Qin Huairu—what Jia Zhangshi will look like, and whether she can still laugh so happily.

Surely she will cry.

After Jia Dongxu's death.

The Jia family then relied on Qin Huairu to support them.

Stemming from Qin Huairu's some immoral practices, the Jia family team led by Jia Zhangshi, who are fond of eating and lazy to work, indeed enjoyed over two years of good days.

Coworkers helped pay meal tickets.

Yi Zhonghai helped improve their life.

Originally uncommon white-flour steamed buns and meat dishes, the Jia family also ate them once in a while; they also used the cloth coupons and money provided by Yi Zhonghai to change into two new sets of clothes inside and out.

The Jia family's life.

The siheyuan is top-notch.

This is all thanks to Qin Huairu.

What is Jia Zhangshi afraid of?

Qin Huairu remarries.

This is equivalent to the Jia family's vital point.

The job is taking over Jia Dongxu's position; once Qin Huairu brings the job and remarries, the Jia family will have nothing left—not only will they have to move out of the current siheyuan, but also worry about Bangeng's growing up work and marriage matters, and the issue of Xiao Dang growing up and getting married.

These problems.

Could Jia Zhangshi not be aware?

Clear.

So she tolerates Qin Huairu; as long as she doesn't remarry, let Jia Dongxu wear the green hat.

Being cuckolded is still better than starving.

Yan Jiecheng marrying Qin Huairu, whether in the neighbors' eyes or in Jia Zhangshi's heart, is digging at the Jia family's wall and cutting off their retreat.

Jia Zhangshi cannot allow Qin Huairu to remarry.

This is tantamount to whetting the neighbors' appetites.

Sitting and waiting for a scene where Jia Zhangshi cries more than she urinates.

In order to promote this scene happening as soon as possible.

The neighbors became enthusiastic; with the airs of doing good deeds, they told Jia Zhangshi the truth of the matter.

"Aunt Jia, you might not know, this matter is related to your family?"

"What relation does it have to our family?"

The well-meaning person did not heed Jia Zhangshi's retorting, unpleasant tone.

He/she laughed a little.

Continued to narrate.

"A few days ago, when you and Bangeng weren't home, only Qin Huairu was in the house; Yan Jiecheng didn't know what came over him, said he had taken a liking to Qin Huairu, expressed his attitude to San Daye, saying Qin Huairu is a strong single mother, the neighborhood encourages single mothers to bravely pursue a happy life, saying he wants to take Qin Huairu into the Yan family as her husband, as a stepfather to Bangeng and Xiao Dang; San Daye disagreed, causing a commotion several times."

"Old Ma, you can't speak clearly; I'll supplement." The eager enthusiastic neighbor chimed in, answering, "Besides San Daye, now he's Er Daye; Er Daye disagrees with Yan Jiecheng marrying Qin Huairu, Yan Jiecheng says no matter what he will marry Qin Huairu; one says if he speaks of marrying Qin Huairu, he will not recognize him as his son; the other says even if he does not recognize him as his son, he still must marry Qin Huairu."

Jia Zhangshi didn't move at all.

How she was before.

How she is now.

She was frightened.

"Aunt Jia, do you understand? The matter of the Yan family severing father-son relations is related to your Qin Huairu; in my view, Yan Jiecheng has already prepared to marry Qin Huairu."

"Jiecheng, congratulations, you are about to marry Qin Huairu."

"Or Yan Jiecheng is impressive; we grew up together, my son is only over a year old, Yan Jiecheng already has both son and daughter, his son is already in elementary school."

"I disagree."

As expected.

This voice.

Jia Zhangshi shouted.

As people expected, upon learning that the Yan family's drama is related to Qin Huairu's remarriage, Jia Zhangshi no longer has the mood to watch the Yan family's jokes.

What else to watch.

Even their own backyard caught fire.

There was no expected shrewd and unreasonable behavior.

She started hopping foot.

Jumping up and down.

Exactly like a monkey whose peanuts have been snatched away.

Pointing at Yan Jiecheng.

Stammering, she said: "Yan Jiecheng, tell me clearly, is what they say true?"

Overall she still clung to a sliver of hope.

She wanted to hear from Yan Jiecheng's mouth words like "I will not marry Qin Huairu."

Unfortunately.

She is destined to be disappointed.

Yan Jiecheng just wanted to take advantage of the alcohol's effect and say what needed to be said.

Whether he can marry, when he can marry—it's not important.

The important thing is losing face for the Yan Family.

He was happy.

"Mom."

Whether sincere or feigned, Yan Jiecheng called out "Mom" to Jia Zhangshi.

This action.

This was beyond the neighbors' expectations; everyone thought that when facing Jia Zhangshi, Yan Jiecheng would definitely say something like, 'He wants to marry Qin Huairu, tell Jia Zhangshi not to block Qin Huairu from remarrying, otherwise go to the neighborhood office and have the neighborhood office intervene,' and similar warnings, but unexpectedly Yan Jiecheng didn't play by the rules: he neither expressed intent to marry Qin Huairu nor warned Jia Zhangshi not to block Qin Huairu's remarriage—this bastard just shouted 'Mom'.

Yan Jiecheng's single "Mom."

The neighbors who heard it were dumbfounded, and Jia Zhangshi was left at a loss.

The Yan family's son calling his Jia family grandmother 'Mom' is like a lice on a monk's head—plain as day.

The Jia family has five members.

Two widows and three children.

Bangeng is ten, Xiao Dang is eight, and Huaihua is one and a half years old.

Jia Zhangshi is in her early fifties.

Qin Huairu has just turned thirty.

It's obvious Yan Jiecheng is after Qin Huairu; he couldn't possibly be after Jia Zhangshi—if he were, he wouldn't call her "Mom," he'd just call her "Little Sweetie".

Jia Zhangshi's body trembled slightly, her head felt dizzy, and she felt the surrounding buildings spinning.

She was about to collapse and sit down on the ground.

Somehow she found the strength to stubbornly stay where she was.

But she couldn't faint.

She is the mainstay of the Jia family.

If she fainted and was sent to the hospital, Qin Huairu would secretly get a marriage license with Yan Jiecheng behind her back as her former mother-in-law, and the Jia family would have nothing left.

She gritted her teeth and held on.

"Who's your mother?"

Her voice rose considerably.

"You're surnamed Yan, I'm surnamed Zhang, my husband's family is Jia, I have no relation to you whatsoever—what right do you have to call me 'Mom'? Yan Jiecheng, I'm laying it out: you're you, I'm me, you have nothing to do with our Jia family."

"Mom."

That "Mom."

Compared to that earlier "Mom,"

it flowed much more smoothly.

and it was much more natural.

For Yan Jiecheng, this counts as a small breakthrough.

"Just because there's no relation now doesn't mean there won't be in the future, you heard what the neighbors said just now, it's perfect that the neighbors are all here; I want to have a good talk with you, Qin Huairu is your Jia family's daughter-in-law, that's certain, and I also acknowledge it, but there are some things we need to look forward, Dong Xu has been gone for over two years, Qin Huairu has also contributed over two years of strength to your Jia family, she is a good woman; a mother becomes strong, my meaning is, for the second half of Qin Huairu's life, I, Yan Jiecheng, will take care of her."

Jia Zhangshi almost couldn't catch her breath.

"Fine."

"Still going to take care of Qin Huairu for the rest of her life."

"What will you use to take care of her?"

"Don't you know Qin Huairu is everything to our Jia family?"
