It's a case of making use of waste.
Even if Qin Huairu doesn't say it today, tomorrow there will be related rumors spreading; rather than sit and wait anxiously later, it's better to proactively confess now.
Qin Huairu, in front of the neighbors, clearly explained how she found a job for Bangeng and the efforts she made for Bangeng's job.
During the narration, she exaggerated her hardships as much as possible.
There were also some inner details she didn't mention, such as the unspeakable secrets between Deputy Factory Director Li and Qin Huairu; she shrewdly chose to conceal them.
She deliberately exaggerated the evil of Jia Zhangshi.
That is, Jia Zhangshi recklessly boasted and ruined Bangeng's prospects; Qin Huairu repeatedly said that it was because of Jia Zhangshi's uncontrollable foul mouth that someone filed a report, and that person, in anger, withdrew their previous promises.
That's the meaning.
Bangeng's job is gone.
Who let Bangeng's job go down the drain? It's this person before us who claims to be doing good for Bangeng but actually does everything to ruin Bangeng's prospects—Jia Zhangshi.
Also someone who is good at acting.
Qin Huairu, having explained the whole story, pointed at Jia Zhangshi and said: "Just because I complained a few sentences at you, telling you to watch your mouth, you got unhappy, saying I'm unfilial, saying Bangeng is unfilial. I said if you don't like living in the city, go back to your rural hometown; you slapped yourself, saying Bangeng hit you, and had the neighbors judge: Bangeng is your grandson, he's a bastard, how could he dare hit you? Do you really think I, Qin Huairu, am dead? You keep saying 'our Jia family,' yet this is how you consider our Jia family?"
