Chapter 85

Before marriage, he could proudly pat his chest: I am a man!

After marriage, his chest couldn't be straightened up anymore.

But he didn't dare to divorce, fearing being criticized.

Life was very oppressive!

"Are you blaming me?"

"Jia Gen, you have no conscience."

"This family, if I hadn't been managing it inside and out, could it have lived so well?"

"You're not grateful at all, and you still blame me. Tell me, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

Jia Zhang pointed at Jia Gen's nose and cursed.

"I was wrong!"

Jia Gen admitted his mistake on the spot.

"Where were you wrong?"

Jia Zhang questioned.

"I was wrong..."

Jia Gen stood obediently in front of Jia Zhang, like a student who made a mistake, reviewing in front of the teacher, his attitude serious and his expression uneasy.

"Haha, Old Jia is being lectured again."

"Sigh, Old Jia marrying Jia Zhang, it's really eight lifetimes of bad luck!"

"If it were me, I'd pin Jia Zhang to the ground, break her dog leg, see if she still dares to throw a tantrum?"

The old houses in the fifties didn't have good sound insulation.

If the sound inside was a little loud, people outside the wall could hear it clearly.

The neighbors weren't surprised at all.

The same scene happened at least two or three times a week, sometimes once a day. Old Jia was managed like Jia Zhang's grandson.

"Jia Zhang is simply a tigress. When I marry a wife, she must be gentle, beautiful, and not like Jia Zhang."

He Yuzhu sat at his door, looking at the Jia family.

Being extorted one hundred yuan by the Jia family, and beaten by He Great Qing, he was full of resentment, planning to add some trouble to the Jia family.

The bad water in his stomach was no less than Xu Damao's.

"He Yuzhu, what are you looking at?"

Xu Damao sneaked up to He Yuzhu's side.

"Get lost, itchy skin? Looking for a beating?"

He Yuzhu didn't want to pay attention to Xu Damao.

"He Yuzhu, are you trying to take revenge on the Jia family?"

"What a coincidence, I don't want the Jia family to have a good time either."

"How about we cooperate?"

Xu Damao also looked in the direction of the Jia family.

Neither of them noticed that Yi Zhonghai had returned. He wanted to go home and saw He Yuzhu and Xu Damao staring at the Jia family.

"He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, what are you two doing?"

"You two brats, I'm telling you, be honest. The Jia family is having a blind date today, none of you are allowed to go and make trouble."

"Especially you, Xu Damao, I know you're full of bad water."

"If anything happens, I won't spare you."

Yi Zhonghai warned the two strictly.

He Yuzhu nodded.

He listened to Yi Zhonghai.

Xu Damao curled his lips.

"Is it any of your business?"

"You're not the First Master anymore. Besides, did you see me making trouble?"

Xu Damao glared at He Yuzhu.

Useless guy!

"You..."

Yi Zhonghai's old face turned red on the spot.

Being stripped of his position as First Master was his greatest humiliation, the thing he was most sensitive about others mentioning, but Xu Damao poked his most painful scar.

Yi Zhonghai raised his palm, his eyes slightly red, about to slap Xu Damao.

"Hmph, I won't lower myself to your level."

"You two remember, whoever goes to make trouble, I won't spare him."

Yi Zhonghai put his hand down again.

Letting He Yuzhu beat Xu Damao was fine no matter how he beat him.

He couldn't.

Him beating Xu Damao would be bullying, which would seriously affect his image. He couldn't do things that destroyed his image, he just had to endure it with temperament.

Xu Damao also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time.

Two women came outside the Sihe Academy.

Matchmaker Zhang brought Qin Huairu to the Sihe Academy.

"Matchmaker Zhang, are you introducing a partner to Jia Dongxu again?"

"My God, this girl is really pretty, introducing her to Jia Dongxu is a bit, uh, never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything, hurry in!"

Seeing Qin Huairu.

The Third Aunt guarding the door was shocked.

This girl was dressed a bit plainly, but her appearance was too beautiful.

She had never seen such a beautiful girl, wasn't it a waste to introduce her to Jia Dongxu?

"Fine, then I'll go in first."

Matchmaker Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Third Aunt knew when to keep her mouth shut and didn't let anything slip.

The two arrived at the middle courtyard, in front of the Jia family's door.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were both stunned, staring at Qin Huairu with their mouths open.

She was too beautiful!

Bang!

The Jia family's door closed.

Couldn't see Qin Huairu anymore.

The two finally came back to their senses.

"He Yuzhu, you're drooling."

Xu Damao came back to his senses first.

He Yuzhu reached out to wipe it.

Where was the drool?

"Xu Damao, you're playing with me!"

He Yuzhu was furious.

"When did I play with you?"

"Think about it yourself, were you drooling just now?"

Xu Damao stepped back three steps, distancing himself from He Yuzhu.

Hmph!

He Yuzhu snorted coldly.

His heart was full of the shadow of the emotional figure.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman. At the first moment, Qin Huairu's shadow was firmly branded in his mind.

He Yuzhu’s path of being a sycophant had begun!

The Jia family.

Jia Dongxu was stunned the moment he opened the door. Just like He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, his eyes went blank, staring fixedly at Qin Huairu’s collagen-rich face.

Matchmaker Zhang smiled slightly.

It was a success.

The Jia family was definitely a done deal.

Now it all depended on Qin Huairu. Would she take a liking to Jia Dongxu?

"Dongxu, Dongxu?"

"Are you not going to let us in?"

Matchmaker Zhang called out loudly twice, snapping the spellbound Jia Dongxu back to reality.

"Ah, right, please come in, please come in quickly!"

Jia Dongxu stepped aside.

He had forgotten.

His left leg hadn't healed yet, and he needed a crutch to walk. In his rush to step aside and make way, the crutch didn't keep up, and with a thud, he slammed onto the ground.

He ended up prostrating himself right in front of Qin Huairu.

Giggling!

Qin Huairu was amused.

Matchmaker Zhang couldn't help but laugh out loud either.

Jia Zhang and Jia Gen of course couldn't laugh; it was embarrassing, too embarrassing!

"Useless thing, why aren't you getting up yet?"

Jia Zhang scolded.

"I'm getting up right now."

"I just injured my leg; I promise you, my leg is absolutely fine."

"In just a month, no, at most half a month, I'll be like a healthy person again, able to run, able to jump, and I definitely won't fall again."

Jia Dongxu explained in a panic.

He was too satisfied with Qin Huairu; he had taken a liking to her at first sight and was terrified that Qin Huairu wouldn't be satisfied with him.

"Little Qin, I've already told you."

"Dongxu's leg is just injured, not disabled, and it won't leave any lasting effects. You don't need to worry about his leg."

Matchmaker Zhang helped explain.

Qin Huairu was still a bit worried. She wanted to move to the city and marry a city dweller; she didn't want to marry a disabled person. How would she spend the rest of her life?

"You came from the countryside, you must be tired after walking so far, right?"

"Come, sit down quickly!"

"You must be thirsty, right?"

"I'll go pour you a glass of water."

"..."

Jia Dongxu began to busy himself.

Jia Zhang’s face darkened.

Jia Dongxu was being too attentive to Qin Huairu.

She hadn't even married into the family yet, and he was already fawning over her like this.

If she did marry in, would he even remember she was his mother?

Jia Zhang felt a surge of annoyance, feeling her status was under serious threat!

Outside the door.

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao had gathered together again.

"He Yuzhu, that little brat Jia Dongxu doesn't deserve such a beautiful girl at all. How about we find a way to ruin it for him?"

Xu Damao whispered a suggestion.

"That wouldn't be very good, would it?"

He Yuzhu agreed in his heart.

He held a grudge against the Jia family.

He had also taken a liking to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu’s little appearance was exactly to his aesthetic taste.

"What's not good about it?"

"That young girl is so beautiful, do you have the heart to watch her jump into a fire pit?"

As soon as Xu Damao saw He Yuzhu’s expression, he knew he had agreed.

"You're right, too."

"Jia Zhang is lazy and greedy, throwing her weight around. Whoever marries into their family definitely won't have a good life. We are doing a good deed by saving her."

He Yuzhu found an excuse for himself.

"Right, we are doing a good deed!"

Xu Damao agreed.

The two whispered and muttered, coming up with a plan.

Keep an eye on the Jia family.

When the matchmaking ended, they would quietly follow, stop Qin Huairu, and speak ill of the Jia family—no, inform her of the truth about the Jia family.

"Xu Damao, you aren't planning on making a move on that girl, are you?"

"Are you trying to cut in line?"

He Yuzhu glared at Xu Damao.

He was certain Xu Damao was capable of such a thing.

"How could that be?"

"I'm still young, I haven't reached the legal marriage age yet, so even if I wanted to marry, I couldn't. What about you? You aren't planning on making a move on her, are you?"

"I saw you drooling just now!"

Xu Damao was also suspicious of He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu was being too proactive.

It didn't fit his usual personality.

At the same time.

Wan Ping'an was harvesting rice in the six-mu field.

Of course, he wouldn't do it himself.

He, Xu Huirong, and Chen Xue were sitting in the shade, eating watermelon and watching Cai Quanwu and the others harvest the rice.

"Ping'an, I want to use the golden rice to brew wine. I've claimed it, you must save some for me."

The moment she saw the golden rice.

Xu Huirong decided to brew wine.

The quality of the golden rice was too high; the wine brewed from it would definitely be a heavenly nectar!

"Don't worry, I will reserve a batch specifically for you."

Wan Ping'an nodded.

"And me."

"I'm not brewing wine, I'll buy some to eat myself."

Chen Xue also pre-ordered some.

The two women knew very well that with the quality of the golden rice, as soon as it went on sale, it would definitely be snatched up. If they didn't order in advance, they might not be able to buy any.

Both women had their own businesses and couldn't leave for long, so they soon returned.

Wan Ping'an also prepared to head home.

"Old Cai, let's stop here!"

"First, thresh the harvested rice; I'll take some back."

At Wan Ping'an’s request.
