this can be considered venting some of my anger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao smiled foolishly on the side; he was thrilled today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The farce ended here, and everyone returned to their own courtyards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because her last savings had been emptied, Jia Jia Zhangshi simply lay on the ground, continuing to make a scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, it was Sha Zhu and the First Uncle who dragged her back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a fat hag had exhausted them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the reason she was so well-fed was all because of Sha Zhu, that simp.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Second Uncle thought this, and immediately pondered how to curry favor with Chen Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brat, call your wife over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the front yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Uncle said to his son, Yan Yan Jiecheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he learned of Chen Tian’s true identity, he had been calculating how to get on good terms with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was just an elementary school teacher and didn't know how much power a so-called Senior Engineer had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew that the other party’s monthly salary was a few hundred yuan, not to mention the benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could any of that not be better than a teacher like himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Chen Tian only had himself to support, so no matter how he spent that few hundred yuan salary, he couldn't finish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had seen Chen Tian’s strength today; he hit Jia Jia Zhangshi whenever he wanted, and no one dared to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the Third Uncle feel quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the calculating Third Uncle naturally wouldn't try to oppose Chen Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, he thought of a pretty good idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tian was a golden bachelor now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man, no matter how high his salary, couldn't do without a woman to help around the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take laundry and cooking, for example; how could a rough man be as careful as a woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Uncle immediately thought of having his daughter-in-law, Yu Li, apply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have to know that neither the First Uncle nor the Second Uncle had a daughter-in-law at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Jia family’s relationship with Chen Tian was so tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, he wouldn't agree to let Qin Qin Huairu help at his house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculating this way, his daughter-in-law was the best candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, washing clothes for a yuan or two, cooking a meal for a few cents; that added up to quite a bit of profit a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be enough for their family to live a good life too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, what do you want with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Li wasn't very old, and her figure was very attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daughter-in-law, go and talk to Chen Tian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just say you’ll wash his clothes, help out, and clean up when you’re free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You saw it today; he’s a rich man now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And not only that, I heard the factory gives him a lot of good things every month.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go help him when you’re free, and get some things back while you’re at it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Third Aunt’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father of the children, your idea is really great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Yu Li goes to help, she might be able to get a lot of good things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Yan Jiecheng, hearing this, didn't object; on the contrary, he was full of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, Dad, Yu Li is so diligent, I believe Chen Tian won't refuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wife, go and help him; he definitely won't let you work for nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regarding their suggestion, Yu Li felt a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will he agree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the Third Uncle’s suggestion, Yu Li felt a bit worried, but also inexplicably expectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tian was clean and handsome, and his family background seemed quite good; he was simply her ideal type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she weren't already married, she might have had ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But being able to help him under this pretext, and seeing his face every day, didn't sound bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine, I’ll go talk to him about this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, just be diligent and hang around his house whenever you can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Uncle was full of pride now; he also felt his idea was quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll listen to Dad...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Third Uncle say this, Yu Li could only nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhu, tell me, are you stupid? Why go and provoke him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does the Jia family’s business have to do with you? Is it worth being so devoted?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Deaf Old Lady was lecturing Sha Zhu in his house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she hit the ground hard with her cane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu, that big fool, was almost having his soul hooked away by Qin Qin Huairu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandma, look at what you’re saying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Sha Zhu was immediately unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at how hard Qin Qin Huairu works; her family has so many people, and she supports them all by herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that kid Bang Geng, I really like him too; isn't it just stealing a few things? What’s the big deal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you ask me, the worst one is that Chen Tian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He knows Qin Qin Huairu’s family can barely make ends meet, yet he still wants them to pay so much money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could the Jia family possibly come up with so much money? And I couldn't just watch that child go to jail, so I got hot-headed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu felt he was full of heroic spirit at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, you’re getting cocky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you know what kind of life you’re living?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why give people so much money when you have nothing to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1732,"2026-06-16T18:09:03.510Z","2026-06-16T19:13:34.914Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9df76a94e86f5fa3f6df11645ba8def4eca442bddc5e3cf3732f7955d9eee640","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-20","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-18",308,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-cover.jpg"]
