1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 349 Continue Planning

The fear was like a surging tide that instantly submerged her.

She knew very well that if this matter spread in the courtyard, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

In this old city where she had finally settled down, she no longer had a place to stay.

But then again, she had just taken over Jia Dongxu's position and became a city dweller. It was not easy to get this, so how could she give up so easily?

After thinking it over, Qin Huairu realized that she had to find a way to suppress the matter of Xu Damao.

She knew in her heart that the reason why Xu Damao hated them so much was because of the 600 yuan.

If they could persuade Yi Zhonghai to pay the money, maybe Xu Damao would calm down and stop bothering them.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu decided to go to Yi Zhonghai to discuss it.

How could she know that all this was part of Yi Zhonghai's plan.

At this time, Qin Huairu saw an old lady taking her daughter Xiaodang out, so she hurried to Yi Zhonghai's house.

After entering Yi Zhonghai's house, Qin Huairu was very cautious. She looked around carefully and made sure that no one was outside. Then she said to Yi Zhonghai anxiously, "Zhonghai, what do you think we should do now?"

The sadness on that face was like a dark cloud, and his eyes were full of anxiety and helplessness.

As for Yi Zhonghai, he had actually expected Qin Huairu to come, but he still pretended to be in deep thought, his brows knitted into a knot, and he said slowly: "Huairu, don't be anxious, we have to think of a solution."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes suddenly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

She gently pulled Yi Zhonghai's arm and said in a tearful voice: "Zhonghai, you know that Xu Damao's words have hidden meanings. He must know about our affairs. If he tells others, we will be finished!"

After saying that, she raised her head slightly and looked at Yi Zhonghai with tearful eyes. Her eyes were full of pleading, hoping that Yi Zhonghai could have an idea.

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while, then slowly said, "I know this is a serious matter, but if we give him the 600 yuan, how are we going to live in the future?"

He actually had his own plans in mind, but he just wanted Qin Huairu to feel that he was making a difficult decision for their future.

Qin Huairu bit her lip, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "Zhonghai, if we lose money, we can earn it again, but if our reputation is ruined, we will really have no way to survive. Besides..."

At this point, her face slightly blushed and she lowered her head, "I'm pregnant with your child, we can't let the child be criticized by others in the future."

When Yi Zhonghai heard the word "child", many complex emotions flashed in his eyes, including the joy of becoming a father and the worry about the uncertain future.

He was secretly delighted, thinking that Qin Huairu had gradually walked into the trap he had set.

He gently held Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Huairu, you are right. For the sake of the child, we must handle this matter properly."

When Qin Huairu saw that Yi Zhonghai was a little shaken, she quickly struck while the iron was hot.

She moved closer to Yi Zhonghai, her eyes flashing with a fascinating light that was both tender and firm.

She said in a gentle yet somewhat bewitching tone: "Zhong Hai, you are the person I can rely on most in this world. Ever since Dong Xu left, you have been the backbone of me and the children. This child..."

As she spoke, she gently touched her belly, "This is our child, the fruit of our love, and our hope for the future. You must protect us, mother and child."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu, and the tenderness in his heart surged up like a spring.

He gently held Qin Huairu in his arms and could feel Qin Huairu's body trembling slightly, with a hint of warmth.

This was the first time they had been so close since Jia Dongxu passed away. All the feelings that had been suppressed in their hearts suddenly burst out like a volcanic eruption.

Qin Huairu leaned in Yi Zhonghai's arms and sobbed softly: "Zhonghai, I know you are a responsible person. As long as you can solve the problem of Xu Damao, we will definitely live a good life in the future. I will always be with you, and our family, whether it is Banggeng and his family, or this unborn child, can live a good life."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai gently touched Qin Huairu's hair, his eyes became more determined, but this determination was also deliberately shown to Qin Huairu: "Huairu, don't worry, for you and the child, I am willing to do anything. I will find a way to return the 600 yuan to him. We can't let him ruin our lives."

Qin Huairu raised her head, her eyes full of emotion and love: "Zhong Hai, you are so kind. I knew you would definitely protect us."

After saying that, she took the initiative to kiss Yi Zhonghai, and Yi Zhonghai responded enthusiastically.

At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten all their worries and fears and were immersed in this brief sweetness and warmth.

However, once the sweetness wore off, the problems of reality came crashing down on us like a mountain.

Yi Zhonghai let go of Qin Huairu and frowned again: "Huairu, 600 yuan is not a small amount, we have to plan carefully. Moreover, even if we pay back the money, we still have to find a way to make Xu Damao shut up and not let him mess around anymore."

He knew in his heart that this matter required careful planning. He had to appease Qin Huairu and completely deal with Xu Damao. He also couldn't let himself suffer any losses. Everything had to be under his control.

Qin Huairu nodded quickly: "Zhong Hai, you are right. We must be careful in what we do and cannot make any more mistakes."

Just then, there was a sudden noise in the yard.

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu separated quickly like frightened rabbits, looking outside the house nervously.

It turned out that it was an old lady who brought Xiaodang back from buying groceries.

The sound was like an alarm, and Qin Huairu in the house was startled immediately, like a frightened deer.

There was a flash of panic in her eyes, and she hurriedly wiped away her tears with her sleeves, her movements seeming somewhat embarrassed and urgent.

Then, as if she remembered something, she tried to adjust her expression and posture, trying to bury her inner panic and anxiety and pretend to be natural as if she had just arrived here.

With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged woman and Xiaodang walked in, chatting and laughing.

The scene inside the house came into view, and Qin Huairu was seen asking Yi Zhonghai about Xiaodang's whereabouts, and she said that she was here to take Xiaodang home.

The auntie walked in with a sharp gaze and immediately noticed Qin Huairu's red eyes, which were like two ripe cherries, attracting everyone's attention.

The aunt couldn't help but feel a surge of pity, which spread across her heart like a trickle of water.

In her opinion, Qin Huairu lost her husband at such a young age, just like a lone boat that lost its direction in the vast ocean, and was helpless in this courtyard.

She could imagine the hardships Qin Huairu went through in raising a child alone. Those days must have been as difficult as walking through a bush of thorns.

An auntie couldn't help but walk forward, her eyes full of concern. She gently comforted her, "Huai Ru, don't be too hard on yourself. We all live in the same courtyard, just like a family. If we have difficulties, we will help each other. Just don't worry. If Xiao Dang and Bang Geng have any problems in the future, I'm here for you. I'm an old man, and I'll help as much as I can."
