Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

Jia Zhangshi thought to herself that her daughter-in-law must want to go home for a good meal.

Qin Huairu then told her about bringing Qin Jingru to meet Sha Zhu for a blind date.

"This is really good news!"

Madam Jia immediately perked up and sat up.

"You must make this happen."

She now especially misses the days when she received help from Sha Zhu.

Compared to my current life, it's a world of difference.

"I will try my best."

Qin Huairu gave a vague answer, but she dared not make any guarantees.

If things don't go well, who knows how much Jia Zhangshi will scold me later.

Speaking of which.

Qin Huairu married a city man in order to live a better life.

But her current life is actually not as comfortable as it was back in her rural hometown.

Therefore, in addition to bringing Qin Jingru into the city.

Going home for a good meal and replenishing one's body is also one of the reasons.

"Mom, remember to make the cornbread a little softer before giving it to Xiaodang for lunch!"

Qin Huairu gave some instructions with some concern.

"I know, I know!"

Madam Jia seemed a little impatient, waved her hand, and then suddenly remembered something to remind her:

"By the way, didn't you raise a few free-range chickens?"

“Go and talk to your in-laws and ask them to bring two back.”

"Just say that I'm injured and need to recover, and bring any other good stuff you have with you."

"Don't even mention that there's nothing good in the countryside. That Xu Damao used to bring back plenty of good stuff from the countryside."

"Oh."

Qin Huairu nodded with a wronged expression, then hurriedly left with Banggeng in her hand.

In this day and age, it is very common for mothers-in-law to bully their daughters-in-law.

However, if Qin Huairu dared to say even a single bad word about Jia Zhangshi, it would be tantamount to being unfilial.

"Bang Geng, when we get to Grandpa's house, if anyone asks..."

"You must remember to say that your family eats wheat flour every day and has pork with every meal..."

Qin Huairu kept reminding Bang Geng as she walked.

Every time she goes back to her parents' home, she attracts a lot of envious and jealous glances.

This made Qin Huairu very proud, and she wanted to maintain this glamorous image even if it meant putting on an act.

Just as the mother and son walked out of the screen wall and turned into the alley.

They ran into Xu Damao, who was sighing and complaining.

Chapter Sixty-Two: A Rare Harmony in the Courtyard!

"Xu Damao! How dare you come back?"

Qin Huairu exclaimed in surprise, quite taken aback.

"what happened?"

Xu Damao looked puzzled. Why don't I dare to come back?

"Don't you know? Zhao De is looking for you everywhere. He said he'll send you to the crematorium once he finds you."

Qin Huairu looked him up and down, quite curious.

"What did I do to offend him?!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao was so angry that he jumped up and down, while at the same time revealing a hint of fear.

"He said you tricked Qianqian away..."

Qin Huairu briefly recounted what had happened, and then asked:

"What exactly happened between you two?"

"How could Qianqian have been so traumatized!?"

Xu Damao was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that Qianqian had already been sent to the hospital!

"It's none of your business, don't ask so many questions!"

Xu Damao was unwilling to elaborate; at that moment, what concerned him most was...

Has Qianqian already handed over the huge sum of money to Zhao De?

Xu Damao really can't tell right from wrong; Zhao De had already made that clear.

If someone finds him first, report it to him.

You will receive a pound of pork as a reward.

This infuriated Qin Huairu.

Seeing that Xu Damao seemed completely unconcerned.

Although she was very curious, she had no choice but to turn around and leave.

After she had walked a distance, Banggeng asked:

"Mom, why don't we report him and take that pork back?"

"Bang Geng, it's not easy for us to get that portion of pork."

"Zhao De will definitely say that we failed to catch Xu Damao and let him escape, so he won't give it to us."

Qin Huairu had considered everything very thoroughly.

"Besides, even if we did bring the pork home, your grandma would probably eat most of it anyway."

"She's too fat and should lose weight. Mom will take you back to the countryside to eat meat."

"Oh!"

Xu Damao had absolutely no interest in asking where Qin Huairu had gone.

After all, this is a critical moment concerning life and death, and we cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

He was thinking:

What if that huge sum of money fell into Zhao De's hands?

If he chooses to report it.

Do not!

He might not report it.

Xu Damao recalled Qin Huairu's words from earlier.

When Zhao De returned to the courtyard in the morning, he didn't mention the huge sum of money at all.

Therefore, Zhao De likely intended to keep it for himself.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Qianqian had concealed this money from Zhao De.

She also intended to embezzle it.

However, after careful consideration, Xu Damao sadly realized...

I felt as if I were trapped in a predicament, unable to escape like a general being tossed about.

Because in either case, he would need to find Zhao De.

If you go to him, the first thing you'll get is a good beating.

Given his current physical condition, it's almost certain that he'll be crippled, or even seriously injured.

Moreover, even if they were beaten, this huge sum of money could not be made public.

We can only ask privately and quietly; what if Zhao De denies it?

If Zhao De really didn't take that money, then he'll have to go find Qianqian.

But he certainly wouldn't tell him which hospital Qianqian was staying in.

With so many hospitals, where am I supposed to find one?

If this money is made public, will we all be doomed?

Nobody wants to have a good life?
