Chapter 612

Qin Huairu never imagined she would hear such wolfish words about selling Jia Zhangshi from Xiao Dang's mouth; she was frightened, her eyes showing a hint of terror.

It was not only fear of Xiao Dang's idea to sell Jia Zhangshi.

More so, she worried about her own future.

Everyone grows old one day.

What would Qin Huairu do then?

Bangeng could not be relied upon, Huaihua's whereabouts were unknown, Qin Huairu could only choose the tallest among the dwarfs, relying on Xiao Dang among the three children to support her in old age.

Even one who could sell her own grandmother—what else could she not do?

Moreover, Qin Huairu clearly knew Xiao Dang harbored strong hatred toward the Jia family, not only hating Jia Zhangshi but also hating Qin Huairu herself.

The fate of Jia Zhangshi after being sold was very likely Qin Huairu's own fate.

Thinking she might be sold.

Qin Huairu did not know how to face Xiao Dang.

A widow's heart.

A chill ran through her.

Selling Jia Zhangshi.

This was Xiao Dang's idea.

She even told this idea to Qin Huairu.

Through Xiao Dang's expression, Qin Huairu saw that Xiao Dang hoped she would join her in doing this; although Qin Huairu lacked virtue, she was still greatly startled.

Speaking from the heart.

Even though Jia Zhangshi had made Qin Huairu's life difficult for so many years, tormenting her from a young widow into an old widow, Qin Huairu still harbored hatred toward Jia Zhangshi in her heart.

Appearing to say they would never have dealings again.

In truth, Jia Zhangshi still lingered in her heart.

This innate feeling made it impossible for Qin Huairu to truly ignore Jia Zhangshi.

Facing Xiao Dang's words about selling Jia Zhangshi, feeling frightened was understandable.

She stared speechlessly at her own daughter, her serious expression as if sizing up a stranger she did not know.

Was this still her daughter Xiao Dang?

How had she become such a cold-blooded person?

Seeing Qin Huairu look at her this way, Xiao Dang let out a cold snort, squeezed out a hint of a smile, and slowly spoke.

She knew Qin Huairu would not easily agree to join her, to join hands in selling Jia Zhangshi.

The matter of selling Jia Zhangshi.

Required long-term planning.

Xiao Dang had confidence she could persuade Qin Huairu to join her in doing this.

"Mom, my grandmother has done evil for so many years; I guess you must hate her in your heart. Since I can remember, she has picked on you in every way—not blaming you for not giving her a grandson, then blaming you for giving her two money-losing burdens, manipulating you in every aspect, wanting to eat well while also wanting you to observe widowhood for the Jia family—are you willing? If it were me, I would not be willing."

She leaned her head toward Qin Huairu.

Her words carried a hint of temptation.

"Mom, you still have me; I am your reliance. Now the Jia family is just the three of us. If you join hands with me, my grandmother is merely a dispensable big fart. Without my grandmother, the Jia family will be yours to command—you can do whatever you want, no one will stop you, no one will cause trouble for you, saying Qin Huairu must do this, cannot do that."

Her tone shifted.

She caught her breath.

"You might be surprised I have such thoughts, because I realized that as long as my grandmother is in the Jia family, our Jia family cannot prosper. I don't know if you've heard the neighbors gossiping, but anyway, I have heard it."

Xiao Dang repeated the neighbors' gossip like a parrot, with appropriate embellishment in between.

"Why the Jia family has fallen to this state is entirely due to Jia Zhangshi's troublemaking. If Jia Zhangshi were not lazy and gluttonous, Jia Dongxu would not have died. If Jia Zhangshi were not courting disaster, Bangeng would not be in prison, Xiao Dang would not have become like this for money."

All mistakes.

Are Jia Zhangshi's fault.

Jia Zhangshi's existence.

Severely constrained the Jia family's development, affecting Qin Huairu and Xiao Dang's future.

"Think about it—if there were no my grandmother, you would already have had a happy family. It was my grandmother who personally pushed you into the fire pit. She wants to eat well, drink well, does not work, does not earn money, making you run around outside. You are a widow, with no backing, no reliance—where would things come from for my grandmother to eat lazily? Yet my grandmother still watches you like a spy watching little devils. I have seen several times: when you go out at night, she presses her big face against the glass, peeking secretly at you. When you return, she quickly lies down pretending to sleep."

"Xiao Dang."

"Mom, you will surely ask me if I'm joking with you. I seriously tell you I have no thought of joking with you, no intention of joking. I truly want to sell my grandmother, and you don't need to do anything—you just need to agree to this matter. When necessary, cooperate with me a little. I do this not for myself, but for our Jia family. Without my grandmother, you can now bring the Jia family's work and remarry. I do not resent your remarriage; everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness. As your daughter, I can only bless your remarriage."

Qin Huairu's head.

Buzzed continuously.

Her mind was in turmoil.

Her whole body felt like it was about to explode.

"Mom, opportunity must not be lost—lost opportunity never returns. My grandmother will only delay our Jia family's affairs; she cannot stay in our Jia family. If she stays, our Jia family might stir up some trouble."

"Xiao Dang, can you tell me why you're doing this?"

Qin Huairu asked.

There is no groundless resentment.

Xiao Dang previously treated Jia Zhangshi well.

This sudden return to tell Qin Huairu she wants to sell Jia Zhangshi.

Surely Jia Zhangshi did something to offend Xiao Dang, provoking her.

Qin Huairu just wants to know what Jia Zhangshi did to provoke Xiao Dang to the point of selling her.

"Do you still remember what happened last night?"

Yesterday's commotion.

How could Qin Huairu not remember.

Jia Zhangshi returned, and boasted to Qin Huairu, saying the Jia family could divide how much how much money, this money Jia Zhangshi must hold in her hand, and also said Qin Huairu must remarry, having no right to take the Jia family Xiao Dang's money.

In the end, a mix-up occurred.

Jia Zhangshi, because of eating for free, caused the Jia family to lose an income of over one thousand yuan.

Just because of this matter.

Qin Huairu also slapped Jia Zhangshi two big slaps.

"Could it be unrelated to last night's incident?"

Although Xiao Dang said nothing.

But Qin Huairu still unconsciously felt a sense of helplessness rise in her heart.

Jia Zhangshi in the Siheyuan also has a nickname, a pig teammate who specializes in sabotaging her own teammates, guessing Jia Zhangshi again did something to sabotage Xiao Dang.

"What you said is not wrong at all, this grandmother of mine, does not do good deeds, specializes in doing things that sabotage our Jia family people, you probably don't know, my confirmation at Bai Xu, just because of my grandmother, got soaked, I was fired, fortunately Manager He is not bad, considering the many years we've been neighbors in the Dayuan, gave me a full month's salary."

Qin Huairu was furious.

Stunned, she stared at Xiao Dang.

A look of disbelief and terror.

Xiao Dang was fired by Bai Xu.

This is unacceptable.

Qin Huairu, just because Xiao Dang worked at Bai Xu, allowed her, a widow who was usually not well-treated at the Yagangchang, to also inexplicably be pursued by people.

Many people actively approached Qin Huairu to get close, praising her for having the ability to arrange Xiao Dang to work at Bai Xu.

Also because Bai Xu's salary is quite high.

These few months, the Jia family's living conditions have significantly improved, although still the lowest in the Siheyuan, but some foods that were previously unaffordable can now be bought back with extra money.

Originally thought such good days would continue indefinitely.

On a clear day, a great thunderbolt struck.

Xiao Dang, at the critical moment of impending confirmation.

Was fired.

Qin Huairu stared open-mouthed at Xiao Dang, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

"Do you know why?" Looking at Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang said word by word: "My grandmother found Manager He, pointed at the scar on her face, saying I, Jia Xiao Dang, hit her this paternal grandmother, the cause being Bai Xu canceled my right to recommend people, causing the Jia family to lose a sum of money, in front of many people at Bai Xu, I asked Manager He to give me the chance to recommend people, saying if Manager He does not return the right to recommend people to me, Jia Xiao Dang, I, Jia Xiao Dang, will continue to violently beat her, Jia Zhangshi, saying she, Jia Zhangshi, cannot survive, and will have to kneel before Manager He."

Qin Huairu's mouth.

The eldest.

Jia Zhangshi's divine operation.

Startled her.

It turns out it really was Jia Zhangshi who did something wrong to Xiao Dang.

What the hell is this.

"There is a clause in Bai Xu's rules and regulations: family harmony, filial piety to parents, respect for elders, and they accused me of violating this clause, thus firing me."

"You didn't tell Shazhu, this is all your grandmother's idea, has nothing to do with you, besides, Shazhu has known our neighbors for decades, wouldn't he not know what kind of person your grandmother is?"

Qin Huairu guessed this is a trap, a trap specifically targeting the Jia family people.

How much Shazhu hates the Jia family people, Xiao Dang and them perhaps don't know, but Qin Huairu knows clearly.

Huaihua so begged Shazhu, but Shazhu didn't let Huaihua stay at Bai Xu, Xiao Dang only sought Shazhu once, and Shazhu let Xiao Dang enter Bai Xu.

The hiring was too smooth.

Perhaps the initial hiring was precisely for today's firing.

What could be more painful than having dust knocked down from the heavens?

"Manager He clearly told me, although I was wronged, I also cannot stay at Bai Xu, saying now at Bai Xu, many people are waiting to see a joke, keeping me is a small matter, if someone uses me hitting my grandmother to make a big fuss, he also cannot stay at Bai Xu, you guess if someone gave my grandmother money, not much, just one hundred yuan, would my grandmother not sit firmly and solidly on the fact that Bai Xu employee Jia Xiao Dang hit her, would they not frame me for hitting her as being instigated by Manager He."

Qin Huairu said nothing.

The words are rough but the reasoning is not.

Xiao Dang's one sentence encompassed everything.

Don't say.

Jia Zhangshi really is such a person, one who for money can do anything.

I sighed in my heart.

Jia Zhangshi has done evil again.

No wonder Xiao Dang insists on selling Jia Zhangshi dead or alive.

"Then what are your plans next? I now work at the Yagangchang, just a street sweeper, nominal team leader, if someone deals with me, you take over my position, also sweeping the street, you are in your twenties, if you really can't, you can take my position."

At this moment, Qin Huairu.

Has just shown a bit of a mother's demeanor.

Spoke of taking over the position.

"Having work also makes it easier to discuss marriage, women, not marrying is not acceptable, even strong women need a man to rely on, this is a truth summed up by Mother over a lifetime, as for your grandmother, we won't deal with her anymore."

"Your work, you keep it, I don't need you to worry."

"You are my daughter, who else should I worry about if not you?"

"Do you now think I am your daughter? When my grandmother wanted to sell me for money to save Bangeng back then, why didn't you think I am your daughter?"

"Xiao Dang, Mom."

"Past matters, not to be mentioned, I have work, Manager He found me a job at the slaughterhouse, just say hello to San Daye, then follow what he said, and I can go to work."

Qin Huairu knew that Yan Fugui was in partnership with someone to open a slaughterhouse.

It was said that he had the backing of Bai Xu.

The business was doing well.

Better than working a regular job, and with Yan Fugui's pension, his life was quite good; his children would come back from time to time to visit him.

Qin Huairu truly envied him.

With Yan Fugui looking after Xiao Dang,

nothing untoward would happen.

"Your affairs, Mother no longer worries about them—when are you going to work at the slaughterhouse?" Qin Huairu thought of another matter, "What kind of man do you want to find now? Tell me, Mother, and I'll make arrangements for you when I have time—looks good or bad, we won't discuss that; as long as he truly cares for you, you need bring nothing from home, and I'll give you a dowry of one hundred yuan so you can properly start your life with someone."

"Do you think my grandmother would possibly let you give me a dowry of one hundred yuan? Recently, I've also heard some rumors—my grandmother is thinking of selling me for a better price, so I still say the same thing: the Jia Family has my grandmother, and we can't have anything good— for your sake and for mine, we must sell my grandmother."

"Xiao Dang."

"If you don't object, I'll take it as your agreement."

Qin Huairu ultimately still did not speak her opposition.

She had spent her entire life.

Ruined by Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhangshi had also ruined Xiao Dang's first half of life; if she were to ruin his second half as well, she could not bear it in her heart, so she would wait and see.

With this thought in mind, Qin Huairu chose to remain mute, watching Xiao Dang busy himself—sometimes slicing braised meat, sometimes fussing over white flour mantou.

Until Jia Zhangshi entered, only then did Qin Huairu let out a sigh from her throat.

"Ah!"

Before entering the door.

Jia Zhangshi, still in good spirits.

Hearing Qin Huairu sigh once.

Her face instantly clouded over.

Recently, during this period, she had grown increasingly displeased with Qin Huairu, always feeling that Qin Huairu was not a good person, resenting herself in her heart—how could she have fallen for Yi Zhonghai's poison and agreed to Qin Huairu marrying Jia Dongxu?

If they had found a female comrade with work in the city, the Jia Family would not have come to this state.

She rolled her eyes at Qin Huairu, and without courtesy began to retort sharply.

"Qin Huairu, what do you mean? How have I, an old woman, offended you? I just stepped in with my front foot, and you sigh with your back foot— if you think I'm an eyesore, then hurry up and move out; I won't stop you, but before you move out, you must leave behind the Jia Family's work— this is our Jia Family's property."
