My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 91: Teasing Qin Huairu

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Jia Dongxu was instantly moved. He hadn't expected that the person who genuinely cared about him in the end would be Zhang Lei, who had always been at odds with his family. At that moment, Jia Dongxu felt extremely guilty.

Seeing the moved expressions on Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi's faces, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Who will come with me to pay the treatment fees?"

Jia Zhangshi walked straight up to Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, why don't you hurry up and go with Zhang Lei?"

Then she whispered in Qin Huairu's ear: "Wait, make him pay more money."

Immediately, everyone in the room was speechless, thinking to themselves, "Damn it, Jia Zhangshi, why don't you talk in private? Why are you whispering in front of everyone? Who can't hear you?"

Jia Dongxu was incredibly embarrassed, thinking to himself that his mother was really bizarre, asking people to pay more money right in front of them.

Zhang Lei simply smiled and remained silent.

Qin Huairu gave Zhang Lei an awkward smile.

Seeing this, no one wanted to stay any longer, so they said goodbye and left.

Soon, Qin Huairu and Zhang Lei arrived at the payment area.

Zhang Lei pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket, counted out 30 yuan, and handed it to Qin Huairu, saying, "You can pay 30 yuan first."

Qin Huairu's eyes widened at the sight of Zhang Lei's wealth.

Soon, Qin Huairu took the 30 yuan, paid only 20 yuan, kept 10 yuan for herself, and quietly hid it in her bosom.

Zhang Lei saw it, but didn't say anything.

Qin Huairu turned around and saw that Zhang Lei had seen through her little scheme. She could only smile awkwardly and say, "Zhang Lei, thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to my family."

Zhang Lei looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Let's go over there. I want to talk to you."

Qin Huairu glanced at the deserted corner, then nodded and followed Zhang Lei over.

After walking over, Zhang Lei immediately cornered Qin Huairu against the wall.

Qin Huairu was startled and said, "Zhang... Zhang Lei, don't do this."

Seeing Qin Huairu's panicked expression, Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Qin Huairu, don't worry, I won't do anything to you. My wife is much prettier than you."

Hearing Zhang Lei say this, Qin Huairu blushed and said, "Then, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "What am I doing? Guess."

Qin Huairu, still blushing, said, "I don't know."

Seeing Qin Huairu's reaction, Zhang Lei stopped teasing her and said, "Qin Huairu, have you ever thought about what your future life will be like?"

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's question, Qin Huairu asked in a daze, "What do you mean by that?"

Looking at Qin Huairu, Zhang Lei said, "Qin Huairu, you are indeed good-looking, able to bewitch Sha Zhu completely. But your tricks are just child's play, and they only work on Sha Zhu."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Qin Huairu replied directly, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Zhang Lei looked at her and said, "It's fine if you don't know, it's okay if you don't know. Anyway, I wanted to tell you about your current situation so you won't work yourself to death and not even know how you died."

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Qin Huairu asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Lei looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, you're not stupid, how can you not understand your current situation?"

Qin Huairu remained silent after hearing Zhang Lei's words.

Zhang Lei continued, "Look at your family. Before, Jia Dongxu was earning money outside, and you stayed home to take care of him, so overall, you were doing alright. But look at you now, Jia Dongxu has broken his leg. Your family is missing one breadwinner, and you've gained a burden. Who do you think will have to take care of Jia Dongxu from now on?"

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Qin Huairu's heart was in turmoil. Her mother-in-law was usually very lazy and had never done anything like sweeping or washing clothes. The responsibility of taking care of Jia Dongxu would definitely fall on her shoulders.

Seeing Qin Huairu's thoughtful expression, Zhang Lei knew she had taken his words to heart.

Zhang Lei continued, "How old is your son? Only five or six, right? You have to take care of him, take care of Jia Dongxu, and then take care of your annoying mother-in-law. Think about it, no matter how hard-working you are, you can't possibly take care of three people at once. Besides, Jia Dongxu isn't earning money anymore. Will the factory let you inherit his job? If you inherit the job, won't you have to go back to the factory and work like the men?"

Zhang Lei's series of words left Qin Huairu stunned.

He took out 10 yuan and put it in Qin Huairu's arms, and casually patted the White Rabbit candy.

Qin Huairu was startled and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Lei didn't answer, but simply smelled his hand and said slowly, "It feels pretty good, and it smells nice."

Seeing Zhang Lei's shameless behavior, Qin Huairu felt wronged and wanted to cry, but when she glanced down at the 10 yuan in her arms, she forced herself to hold it back, feeling both angry and annoyed.

Looking at Qin Huairu's expression, Zhang Lei became increasingly excited.

He said, "Qin Huairu, think carefully about what I said. If you can't understand it, then wait and see. Experience for yourself what I just said, and see what kind of life the Jia family will end up in."

Zhang Lei paused, then added, "Oh, by the way, I should also remind you that judging from the old lady's reaction today, Yi Zhonghai has already given up on the Jia family. He probably won't be taking much care of them anymore, so your lives in the courtyard will likely be even more difficult."

Seeing Qin Huairu pondering her words, Zhang Lei walked directly up to her.

Zhang Lei reached out and lifted her chin, saying, "Qin Huairu, if you've figured things out, remember to come find me. I can show you a way to live a good life."

After saying that, Zhang Lei smiled and left.

It took Qin Huairu a while after Zhang Lei left before she slowly came to her senses.

Her mind was in turmoil, and she kept thinking that if what Zhang Lei said was true, her life in the Jia family would be miserable.

Qin Huairu carefully put away the 10 yuan Zhang Lei gave her, then looked down at the pinch mark on her chest.

Strangely, she felt no aversion at all; on the contrary, she thought Zhang Lei was a very energetic person.

After a short while, Qin Huairu quickly walked to the ward.

"Qin Huairu!" Seeing Qin Huairu return, Madam Jia quickly asked, "How much money did Zhang Lei give?"

Qin Huairu looked at the anxious Jia Zhangshi and answered in a low voice, "He paid 20."

Upon hearing the price of 20 yuan, Jia Dongxu nodded in satisfaction, but Jia Zhangshi pouted and muttered, "It's still Zhang Lei. His family is so rich, why doesn't he pay more? Only 20 yuan, what a stingy guy!"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhangshi in disbelief, thinking to herself: "Others are already doing a good deed by giving you money for no reason, and this Jia Zhangshi is still not satisfied."

However, recalling Zhang Lei's words earlier, Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment and cautiously asked, "Mom, judging from that older woman's words and actions just now, does that mean Yi Zhonghai wants to abandon our Jia family?"
