Chapter 437: Let this matter out
The quarrel between the two gradually subsided, but the low pressure in the room still permeated. Jia Zhang sat on the chair, regretting her impulsiveness in her heart, but she still said: "Cry, and think about what to do in the future when you have cried enough. You can't keep your life in such a mess."
Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Jia Zhang with red and swollen eyes. She sobbed and said, "Mom, I don't want this to happen, but I really have no choice in this situation. Banggeng is also criticized by his classmates at school. I am worried about his studies and future."
After hearing this, Jia Zhang's expression eased a little. She sighed and said, "Alas, I feel sorry for the child, but the incident has already happened. We have to find a way to minimize the impact. Don't just cry. You have to cheer up."
Qin Huairu wiped her tears and nodded, "Mom, I understand. I want to find a time to have a good talk with Banggeng, so that he can truly realize his mistake and never make the same mistake again. Then I'll talk to the teacher and see if I can get the classmates to stop talking about this matter."
Jia Zhang hummed, and then continued: "That's more or less. In addition, you have to control him and don't let him get too close to that old man Yan Bugui. If it weren't for his instigation, would Banggeng have been able to steal the chicken?"
"I understand. I will never let Banggeng come into contact with him again." Qin Huairu responded.
After a while, Jia Zhang got up and went to the kitchen to cook, and Qin Huairu followed to help. Although the two did not speak again, the tense atmosphere before had disappeared, and the quarrel was temporarily over. However, the problems in life still lay before them, and they needed the joint efforts of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to solve them. The relationship between them was also quietly changing in these frictions and reconciliations.
That morning, it was still light and most people in the yard were still asleep. Qin Huairu tiptoed out of the door, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then quickened her pace to go out of the yard. She was a little nervous, but also a little expectant, because her former lover had promised to send her some money and food today, and it was really important for her to help the family.
But who knows, enemies often meet on narrow roads. Xu Damao had a stomachache last night and was now rushing to the public toilet with his hands on his stomach. As soon as he reached a corner, he saw Qin Huairu walking in front of him with a strange look on her face. His curiosity was immediately aroused, and he slowed down his steps and followed quietly behind.
Qin Huairu came to the entrance of a remote alley. A man was standing there with a cloth bag in his hand. When he saw Qin Huairu coming, he handed it to her. The two of them talked in a low voice for a few words. Although they were a little far away and couldn't hear what they said clearly, the situation was worth pondering in Xu Damao's eyes.
Xu Damao saw that this was ready-made gossip, and he immediately became excited. He was about to yell at the top of his voice and call everyone in the yard to come over to see this "excitement". Qin Huairu turned her head and saw Xu Damao. She was so scared that her face changed. She hurried over and said in a low voice: "Xu Damao, you are not allowed to yell. If you dare to tell anyone about what happened today, I will never let you go."
Xu Damao, however, looked very proud, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, Qin Huairu, what a good thing you did, secretly doing it behind everyone's back. If I didn't tell anyone, it would be such a shame for this wonderful scene."
Qin Huairu was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She begged, "Da Mao, we are neighbors. Please have pity on me. It's not easy for a widow like me to raise a child. If this gets out, how can I stay in the yard in the future? The children will also be pointed at by others."
Although Xu Damao was somewhat shaken, he still said stubbornly: "Hmph, that won't do. What you did was not decent in the first place. If I don't expose it, who knows what you will do in the future."
Qin Huairu bit her lip, her mind racing, thinking of a solution. She continued, "Da Mao, if you don't say anything, I will think of you for any benefits in the future. If you need a meal or something, I will make it for you. Please be kind this time."
After hearing this, Xu Damao began to weigh the pros and cons. On the one hand, he felt that if this matter was exposed, Qin Huairu would suffer enough. On the other hand, he thought that if he could get some benefits from Qin Huairu, it would not be bad. He hesitated for a long time before reluctantly saying, "Okay, okay, I'll give you face this time, but you have to keep your word."
Qin Huairu felt relieved and nodded quickly, saying, "Don't worry, Damao, I will definitely do what I say."
Xu Damao snorted, turned around and walked towards the public toilet, looking back as he walked, wondering if he had caught Qin Huairu with something that he would use to his advantage in the future. Qin Huairu quickly took her things and hurried home, feeling anxious all the way, fearing that Xu Damao would regret it one day and tell the truth again.
That morning, Qin Huairu got up early as usual and prepared to go to work. She was holding a chamber pot in her hand, intending to empty it first before rushing to the factory. But who would have thought that as soon as she walked onto the stone slab in the yard, a small patch of water had accumulated on the stone slab. Qin Huairu was not paying attention, her foot slipped, and she fell forward.
With a scream, the chamber pot in her hand also slipped out of her hand and hit the ground with a clang. The urine inside instantly spilled out, and Qin Huairu had no time to dodge, and she fell hard into the puddle of urine. In an instant, a pungent odor spread, making people want to cover their noses.
This noise immediately attracted many neighbors in the yard. The first one was Auntie. She went out and saw Qin Huairu's embarrassed appearance. She was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help laughing. While laughing, she said, "Oh, Qin Huairu, how did you do this? How did you fall on it? Oh, this smell is too strong."
Soon after, Yan Bugui also came over. He had a stern face at first, but when he saw Qin Huairu's miserable appearance with urine stains all over her body, he couldn't help but smile and said jokingly, "Qin Huairu, you put on such a show for us so early in the morning. How can you be so careless? How are you going to work today when you smell like this?"
The neighbors gathered around and looked at Qin Huairu. Some young wives covered their mouths and laughed. Some children pointed at Qin Huairu and laughed, shouting, "Look, Qin Huairu fell into the urine. It stinks."
