Chapter 44 Dongxu's Accident
Throughout March, Li Changjiang felt that his career was steadily improving. After Yu Li became pregnant, Wang Jianfeng felt that his life was even better.

Of course, some are happy and some are sad. Wang Jianfeng's family is happy, but Jia Dongxu's family is sad. The reason is that something happened to Jia Dongxu.

Ever since Qin Huairu went back to her parents' home to take care of her pregnancy, Jia Dongxu began to completely let himself go.

Smoking, drinking and playing cards are the norm, and recently he has become obsessed with Widow Li. In fact, this should be a trap. Widow Li's name is Li Jinlian. Her husband used to work in a machine repair factory. A year ago, her husband died of illness, leaving her with three children. It is really difficult to raise the children alone, so she wants to find someone to help her.

Jia Dongxu often went there to play cards with his friends, and they became familiar with each other after a while. Then by chance, Jia Dongxu had a relationship with this young widow. To say that Li Jinlian's appearance was only average, much worse than Qin Huairu, but she was good at dealing with people and could arouse men's desire to protect her, so Jia Dongxu got on board.

Logically speaking, Jia Dongxu had no advantage, and he was not Li Guafu's first target. The others were not willing to fall into her trap, so he could only settle for the next best thing.

As for Jia Dongxu, because Qin Huairu returned to her parents' home, he suddenly felt like he was freed from all the constraints, but his salary was not high and his family did not have much money.

Since he was a gambler and a widow, he had no money left and could only resort to crooked means, such as stealing spare parts from the steel mill and selling them outside.

It was okay at the beginning, it was just a small fight and no one found out. He knew that small fights would not be easily discovered, but big fights could not be hidden and would easily cause trouble.

However, the appetite of the young widow has been growing recently, and Jia Dongxu can't satisfy her, so he wants to get rid of Widow Li. But he finally caught the fish, so how could he let it run away like that?

Widow Li directly threatened to come to their house to make trouble. Jia Dongxu was so angry that he beat the young widow, which really stirred up a hornet's nest.

The next day, Jia Dongxu was beaten by someone. The attackers were none other than several brothers from Widow Li's family. In the end, he was forced to write an IOU for 120 yuan.

Jia Dongxu had to pay back 10 cents every month and pay it off within a year, otherwise they would come to trouble him. He dared not say anything and could only swallow this.

In fact, he found out that he was being plotted the first time. He didn't care much at the time, and Li Jinlian didn't have any demands. But now it seems that he was just playing the long game to catch a big fish.

After this incident, the Jia family's life became difficult. Fortunately, Qin Huairu didn't know about these things, otherwise there would be more trouble.

In fact, Jia Dongxu's job is not the lowest in the Siheyuan. The Jia family lives in poverty and has to scheme everywhere. This is related to Jia Dongxu's idleness. When his father, Lao Jia, was still alive, he went to the Eight Great Hutongs with Sha Zhu's father He Daqing. Therefore, Lao Jia has been working in the city for many years, but still has no money to buy a house.

After liberation, the country began to redeem those women who had fallen into prostitution, and the eight famous alleys in the old city were no longer there.

Of course, He Daqing preferred the widow. Later, for some unknown reason, he ran away to Baocheng with the White Widow, leaving behind Shazhu and his sister.

As for Lao Jia, before liberation, there was an accident at the Lou's Steel Rolling Mill where many people died. The factory paid a lot of compensation and let Jia Dongxu, who had just become an adult, take over Lao Jia's job.

Jia Dongxu also approached Jia Zhang and wanted to ask her for some money to compensate for the loss, but was rejected by Jia Zhang.

Although she felt sorry for her son, she would never pay if she could avoid it.

Jia Dongxu could only sigh helplessly, but the matter was not over yet. On the day Jia Dongxu was beaten, his third leg was given special care.

It was very painful at the time, but there was no reaction afterwards. In the past two days, he started to urinate blood, and there was no reaction. He didn't dare to say anything, so he could only go to the hospital secretly.

The doctor's result made him despair. He was already disabled and incapable of human life due to the serious damage to his lower body. The doctor then said: "You don't have to be too pessimistic. Although the chances of recovery are slim, there is still hope."

But in reality, Jia Dongxu also knew that the hope was indeed slim.

So Jia Dongxu, who was indignant, took his weapon and went to seek revenge. As a result, the matter became a big deal and the person involved called the police. Later, the matter of Jia Dongxu looking for the widow was also exposed.

Fortunately, the news that he was disabled was not exposed, otherwise the matter would probably not be resolved peacefully.

After that, no one wanted to make a big deal out of it, so they just settled it privately.

Yu Li gossiped about these things to Wang Jianfeng at night, and Wang Jianfeng was also very surprised by Jia Dongxu's sweeping operation.

After he started having contact with Qin Huairu, Jia Dongxu also started to stir up trouble outside.

Qin Huairu probably didn't know about this yet. Although the news had spread in the courtyard, no one wanted to offend the necromancer. In addition, Qin Huairu was in the countryside, so no one had time to tell her.

However, this matter probably won't be kept secret for long, Qin Huairu will know it sooner or later.

The incident with Jia Dongxu sounded a wake-up call to Wang Jianfeng. Although he was much better than Jia Dongxu, there was no guarantee that nothing might go wrong.

The truth was similar to what Wang Jianfeng thought. Qin Huairu was indeed kept in the dark, but the matter was exposed again by the bootlicker Sha Zhu.

After Qin Huairu found out about this, she had a big fight with Jia Dongxu, but was eventually suppressed. In the end, Qin Huairu went straight back to her parents' home.

Although Qin Huairu was suppressed, Jia Dongxu did feel guilty towards her, so he could only comfort her with kind words. In the end, Qin Huairu only accepted it on the surface, but in fact, he and the Jia family had completely parted ways at this time. It was just that they were restricted by the restrictions on marriage in that era. Otherwise, according to the situation in later generations, they would most likely have divorced.

After that, Qin Huairu's frequency of returning to the courtyard changed from twice a month to once every two or three months until the child was born.

Then Wang Jianfeng was also implicated by Jia Dongxu, and Qin Huairu began to contact Wang Jianfeng more frequently. There was no way out, as Wang Jianfeng had become her only support.

In the days that followed, Wang Jianfeng had no choice but to go to Qinjia Village to see Qin Huairu several times, and Qin Huairu became more and more attached to him.

Wang Jianfeng couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or not. The key point was that he had no way to solve it, and Qin Huairu's belly was getting bigger and bigger, so he could only comfort her silently. Of course, these are all later stories.

Now Wang Jianfeng is mainly concerned about Yu Li, and he doesn’t think much about Qin Huairu’s problem.

My brother-in-law has found a job, but this job is much worse than Yu Li's.

In fact, that was only relatively speaking. The job was a kitchen helper in the textile factory. To be honest, this job was not that bad. I was just helping the chef. But working in the kitchen, at least I wouldn't starve even in years of disaster.
