1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 309: Extending the Claws

At this moment, Li Weiguo's heart was full of worries.

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let Li Weilan go to work, but all he could do was to give her a few more instructions.

Grandma Li overheard what Li Weiguo told Li Weilan and a smile appeared on her lips.

Li Weiguo and Li Xinchuang returned to the courtyard, washed up briefly, and went back to their rooms to rest.

He lay on the kang and turned on the system's invincible detection radar.

Ever since he discovered that Yi Zhonghai had ill intentions towards Qin Huairu, using his consciousness to monitor Yi Zhonghai has become his daily routine.

At this moment, he was like a hunter, staying in the dark every night, quietly waiting for Yi Zhonghai's next move.

In the west wing of the central courtyard, the lights were dim and yellow.

Qin Huairu sat quietly on the kang, like a lifeless statue, staring at the two sleeping children with dull eyes, and couldn't help sighing.

Today, there were still only three of them in the room, mother and son, and Jia Dongxu had not come back again.

Ever since I went back to Qinjia Village with Jia Dongxu, everything seemed to be heading for a worse direction.

Jia Dongxu became more presumptuous than before, and his indifference towards her was like the cold wind in winter, biting and ruthless.

In the past, Jia Dongxu would at least come back and tell her before going out, but now, he is too lazy to even go home, and every time he asks the old man across the street to give him a message.

Qin Huairu felt more and more uneasy. She didn't understand why everything turned out like this.

She felt that the situation at home was developing towards a situation she could not imagine.

In order to shut Xu Damao up, she was forced to have sex with him. And Jia Dongxu seemed to have guessed her relationship with Li Dahu. Everything she did now seemed like a joke?

But now, she is in deep trouble.

Her relationship with Xu Damao made her like a fish on the chopping board, and she could only be controlled by Xu Damao.

Today Xu Damao dared to touch her blatantly, what about tomorrow?

What about the day after tomorrow?

Qin Huairu didn't dare to think about it. She just felt as if she was tightly bound by an invisible net and couldn't break free.

Fortunately, Xu Damao did not come back tonight, otherwise she felt that she would be crushed by this invisible pressure.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Qin Huairu came back to her senses, straightened her clothes, then stood up and walked outside.

Her steps were heavy, as if she needed to use all her strength to take each step.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Yi Zhonghai, an old man from across the street.

Qin Huairu had a puzzled look on her face. What was the matter with this old man coming here at this time?

"You are an old man. What brings you here?"

Qin Huairu asked, her voice a little hoarse, as if filled with endless fatigue.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu's condition, his eyes lit up.

This state is good! Because only in this way can he have a chance.

When Jia Dongxu asked him to deliver a message today, he agreed without thinking.

If it were in the past, he would have lectured Jia Dongxu.

I told him a lot of truths, but now he has his own ideas.

He began to indulge Jia Dongxu in order to make Qin Huairu lose hope, and he wanted to be the one who gave her hope.

"Qin Huairu, I came to see you and the child."

Yi Zhonghai said with a hint of concern on his face, but there seemed to be something else hidden in this concern.

Qin Huairu paused when she heard that, then she reacted and moved aside to let Yi Zhonghai enter the room, then she closed the door naturally.

"Uncle, please sit down."

Qin Huairu said, then took a cup and poured a glass of water for Yi Zhonghai.

The two men did not go into the inner room, but sat down at the table in the main room.

Yi Zhonghai stared at Qin Huairu and asked in an elder's tone: "Huairu, what's wrong with Dongxu recently? Why doesn't he come home all the time?"

Qin Huairu lowered her head guiltily, bit her lip, and said sadly: "I don't know, Uncle. He has changed since my mother-in-law left."

When she said this, Qin Huairu felt a lump in her throat and began to sob softly.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Alas, this child. Maybe he is under too much pressure because of your mother-in-law's affairs. Qin Huairu, don't worry too much. If you have any difficulties, tell me and I will help you."

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Yi Zhonghai. A glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Thank you, uncle. I appreciate your kindness. They say people help people in times of emergency but not in poverty. I don't know when my family's situation will end..."

As she spoke, her tears couldn't help but fall like beads from a broken string.

Yi Zhonghai stared at her tearful look with his eyes wide open, and an inexplicable impulse welled up in his heart.

Yi Zhonghai sat on a stool with his hands hanging naturally on his legs. At this moment, he couldn't help but clench his fists, as if he had made a major decision.

Then, he suddenly stretched out his hand and held Qin Huairu's hand tightly.

Qin Huairu was so frightened by Yi Zhonghai's actions that she forgot to shed tears. Her expression changed from sadness at first to confusion, and finally to horror.

She instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but Yi Zhonghai's hand was held very tightly, like an iron clamp.

The fear in her heart continued to spread, and she looked out the door in panic. Fortunately, she had closed the door just now.

Then she whispered, "Uncle, what are you doing?"

Qin Huairu tried to break free from Yi Zhonghai's hand, but instead of letting go, he held it even tighter.

There was a complex light flashing in his eyes, showing desire and a hint of pity.

Qin Huairu struggled hard twice, but to no avail.

At this moment, she heard Yi Zhonghai lower his voice and say, "Qin Huairu, when you went to Xu Damao's room, I was outside the window."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, making Qin Huairu's eyes widen.

She didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to say that. She suddenly felt like a person who had been stripped naked. The feeling of being naked made her extremely ashamed.

Her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

"Uncle, you...how could you..." Qin Huairu's voice trembled with deep fear.

Yi Zhonghai continued, "Huai Ru, I know it's not easy for you, but Xu Damao is not a good person. You shouldn't have that kind of relationship with him."

Qin Huairu's tears welled up again, and she felt that she was in a desperate situation.

"Uncle, I was forced to do this. I had no choice."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Huai Ru, I am the only one who can help you now. As long as you listen to me, I promise to let you and the children live a good life."

Qin Huairu glanced at Yi Zhonghai, her eyes full of despair.

Then tears couldn't help falling like beads from a broken string.

Qin Huairu's mind went blank. She really couldn't understand why things turned out like this.

"Master, you can't do this..."

Yi Zhonghai disagreed. Seeing Qin Huairu like this, he seemed even more excited.

"Jia Dongxu doesn't care about you at all. He hangs out outside all day. You won't have a good life following him."

Qin Huairu struggled desperately, her heart filled with fear and anger. "Uncle, please let me go! If you don't let me go, I will call for help."

Yi Zhonghai sneered, "Go ahead and shout, it will be a good opportunity for everyone to come and see who you, Qin Huairu, are!"

"At that time, do you think they will believe you or me?"
