Chapter 199: Aisle
Jia Zhang came out of the house with a very unhappy look on her face.
"It's your turn."
As she spoke, she looked at Qin Huairu with complicated eyes.
That look seemed to see through Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu was frightened by Jia Zhang's gaze. She didn't know what Jia Dongxu had said to her. Why did she look at her like that?
She began to speculate about the content of the conversation between the mother and son.
"What are you still standing there for? Come in quickly."
Jia Zhang urged dissatisfiedly.
Qin Huairu said "Oh" and walked in.
When their eyes met, Qin Huairu couldn't help but tear up when she saw Jia Dongxu.
When Jia Dongxu saw her like this, his heart softened.
Thinking about the conversation he had just had with Jia Zhang, he also felt that Qin Huairu had been a little wronged.
However, this is all I have in this life, and I can only compensate her in the next life.
"Huai Ru, are the children okay?"
It was Jia Dongxu who spoke first.
"Teacher Yan is helping to look after it."
Qin Huairu's voice was choked with sobs.
"Xiao Dang is still young and doesn't understand anything yet."
"When the stick grows bigger, there will inevitably be gossip in the yard. I'm afraid..."
Jia Dongxu sighed.
Qin Huairu observed his expression and said carefully:
"I want to send Banggeng to his grandmother's house in Qinjiagou to stay for a few days."
When she said this, Jia Dongxu's expression changed immediately.
"Dongxu, don't get me wrong, I...I'm just worried about Banggeng."
"Xiao Dang and I will not leave. We will stay at home to take care of Mom..."
Jia Dongxu felt a surge of anger in his heart.
The slight bit of guilt and pity that I had just felt towards Qin Huairu was now gone.
If she hadn't married me, Qin Huairu would still be hiding in the mountain village of Qinjiagou. Would she have the chance to move to the city?
Now that the Jia family is in trouble, she has started to think about it.
This woman...
He lowered his head and sneered barely perceptible.
When he raised his head again, he still looked kind.
"Huai Ru, my mother has always loved Bang Geng the most."
"After I leave, there will be no Banggeng around. I'm afraid she won't make it."
"Let's just forget about this."
"Bang Geng will know sooner or later. He is not a child anymore. He should experience some things sooner and stand on his own feet sooner. Then you and mom will have someone to rely on sooner."
"Besides, Banggeng's last name is Jia after all, and living in Qinjiagou is bound to make people gossip about him."
"Those who know about it think that your grandparents love you, but those who don't think about it think that you are going to 'get married'. What do you think, Huairu?" (Get married: a Beijing dialect for a widow to remarry.)
His words were neither soft nor harsh, but they directly pointed out Qin Huairu's thoughts.
Qin Huairu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, and said quickly:
"Dongxu, don't get me wrong, I really don't think so."
"I just feel bad for Bang Geng."
"You...if you don't agree, forget it. Just pretend I never said anything."
Qin Huairu's eyes rolled around.
She thought that it would be best if Jia Dongxu agreed, but if not, she would wait until he died and then slowly think of a solution.
When the couple was about to part, their conversation was full of suspicion and calculation.
"In that case, don't mention it again."
Jia Dongxu felt very depressed.
Before he died, Qin Huairu had already made up her mind.
He knew that he would not be able to keep her anymore.
He couldn't help but worry about Jia Zhang and Bang Geng.
No matter what, he can have a cuckold, but he can't accept that Banggeng's surname is not Jia!
"Huai Ru, my mother is sometimes unreasonable. She has wronged you for so many years."
Jia Dongxu decided to adopt a "soft" policy. He took Qin Huairu's hand and said.
"Why are you talking about this suddenly?"
Qin Huairu felt a little uncomfortable with Jia Dongxu's sudden tenderness.
"If you don't say it now, you won't have the chance to say it again."
Jia Dongxu's tone became increasingly gentle and affectionate.
"Huai Ru, in this life, it is I, Jia Dongxu, who have let you down."
"You are still young. You should plan well for yourself in the future and find someone who understands you..."
"Dongxu, stop talking."
Qin Huairu is a woman after all, and she is soft-hearted.
When Jia Dongxu said this, she felt touched and guilty in her heart.
"No, Huairu, I want to say it."
"Listen to me, the Jia family only has you and mom, and we can't support it."
"Although I miss my mother, I don't want you to suffer too much in the future."
"Leave Banggeng at the Jia family. If you have the energy to spare, take care of my mother."
"But first of all, think about yourself. If you meet the right person..."
Qin Huairu was so moved that she burst into tears and leaned on his arms and cried uncontrollably.
"Dongxu, stop talking. I won't leave the Jia family and I won't ignore my mother. Dongxu..."
Jia Dongxu looked down at the top of her head and sneered barely perceptible.
"If you encounter any problems in the future, please discuss it with Uncle Yi and Sha Zhu."
"Especially Shazhu. He is the only one in this courtyard who is truly kind to our family."
Jia Dongxu reminded implicitly.
He believed that Qin Huairu was a smart person and she knew what to do in the future.
Sure enough, she saw Qin Huairu looking thoughtful.
"Isn't Master Yi good to our family? He is your master, right?"
Jia Dongxu smiled bitterly.
These days, he thought over recent events in detail.
"It was only in the last two days that I finally understood him."
"Sometime ago, something happened to me, and my mom said that Master Yi had changed, but I didn't think so."
"The more I think about it now, the more I realize that I really didn't understand him before."
"I got into trouble these two times, and he said he would help me, but did he actually do anything?"
Later, Jia Dongxu heard that Yi Zhonghai was busy arranging a partner for Sha Zhu, and he suddenly understood everything.
He had a job before, and Yi Zhonghai expected me to provide for him in his old age.
Now that he couldn't be counted on, he immediately changed his target.
When I am no longer around, I am afraid Yi Zhonghai will just be pretending and won't care about the lives of the Jia women at all.
"Yi Zhonghai, he only has the pillars in his eyes now, do you understand, Huairu?"
"Forget it. I won't say much. You can figure it out when you go back and think about it slowly."
Qin Huairu is a smart person, and Jia Dongxu believes that she will figure it out soon.
"Also, don't provoke Jiang Bo, and don't even think about getting revenge on me."
"No matter who instigates you two in the future, remember what I said."
"I'm afraid someone will use you and your mother as a tool in the future."
Even when a person is about to die, his words are good.
When Jia Dongxu was dying, he had a much clearer understanding of many things.
Qin Huairu smiled bitterly:
"Mom, you know that, right? Can I persuade her?"
"If I say too much, she'll accuse me of having feelings for her."
Jia Dongxu sighed.
He also knew Jia Zhang's temper.
"Try to persuade her as much as you can. It's hard for you, Huairu."
Qin Huairu nodded with tears in her eyes.
The two talked for a while.
"It's time."
The prison guard reminded.
