Chapter 253 Obtaining Jia Zhang's Consent
Qin Huairu walked into the house with a woven bag in her hand. She took out the lunch box and put it on the table gently, then said to Jia Zhang who was sitting there, "Mom, I'm back."
Jia Zhang showed a kind smile on her face: "Come back and have dinner. You have been helping in the kitchen these days. Our meals have improved a lot. Look, Bang Geng and the others have gained some weight."
As she spoke, her eyes unconsciously fell on the children who were eating with big mouthfuls of food. Her eyes were full of satisfaction. Then she turned to look at Qin Huairu and asked, "By the way, how many days can you help in the kitchen in the canteen?"
Qin Huairu heard what Jia Zhang said, and looked at Bang Geng and the others eating with gusto, and said with satisfaction in her heart: "Yes, but there are still four days left, and the canteen will not be needed."
When Jia Zhang heard this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of disappointment. She sighed, continued to eat her meal with a bit of tastelessness, and had no interest in talking to Qin Huairu anymore.
After dinner, Qin Huairu asked Banggeng to take his sister into the house to play, while she sat next to Jia Zhang. After hesitating for a moment, she finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Mom, there is something I want to tell you."
Jia Zhang raised her head and stared at Qin Huairu's serious and earnest expression, feeling an indescribable doubt and uneasiness in her heart.
She slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, folded her hands in front of her chest, and stared at Qin Huairu intently, as if trying to find the answer from her eyes.
Qin Huairu took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and said clearly and firmly: "Mom, I want to remarry."
When Jia Zhang heard this, the expression on her face froze instantly, as if she was frozen by a piece of ice. She stared blankly at Qin Huairu, her eyes wide open, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
After a long while, she slowly spoke, her voice trembling: "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Can you say it again?"
Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang's face full of disbelief, took a deep breath, then looked at Jia Zhang firmly and repeated, "Mom, I said I want to remarry."
When Jia Zhang heard that Qin Huairu was going to remarry, her face turned pale. She stood up suddenly, clenched her hands into fists, and her eyes flashed with anger.
In her opinion, if Qin Huairu remarried, she would lose a source of income and even her support in old age. She could not imagine facing the difficulties of life alone, and the panic and anxiety in her heart made it impossible for her to remain calm.
"Dongxu? Come up and take a look. Is this the wife you married?" Jia Zhang suddenly shouted loudly, her voice full of anger and disappointment.
She seemed to want to stop Qin Huairu from remarrying by mentioning Jia Dongxu, as if she thought that Jia Dongxu's ghost could appear here and prevent all this from happening.
However, Qin Huairu was not intimidated by Jia Zhang's anger. Seeing Jia Zhang's complete refusal to cooperate and even trying to suppress her thoughts by mentioning Jia Dongxu, she could not help but feel angry. She shouted loudly, "Mom!"
Jia Zhang was startled by Qin Huairu's sudden angry shout. She was stunned for a moment, then realized her mistake. She looked at Qin Huairu's firm and angry eyes, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little weak.
She knew she couldn't push too hard, otherwise it might backfire. So she tried to calm herself down and said in a calm tone, "Go ahead and I'll listen."
Qin Huairu saw that Jia Zhang's attitude had softened, so she also slowed down her tone, but there was still a hint of firmness in her tone: "Mom, Director Yang of our factory proposed to me today, and I agreed."
When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu say that Director Yang proposed to her, her first reaction was disbelief. She frowned and looked at Qin Huairu in confusion, as if trying to find the answer from her eyes.
Her second reaction was surprise, wondering how Director Yang could be interested in Qin Huairu. But then she thought of Director Yang's identity and status, and her heart was moved.
She rolled her eyes and asked cautiously, "Huai Ru, if you remarry, what will happen to Bang Geng and I? Director Yang has his own children."
When Qin Huairu heard what Jia Zhang said, a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face. She nodded gently, with a hint of sweetness in her voice: "Jianye said that I can bring you and Banggeng and the other three to marry together."
When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately showed a look of surprise on her face. She held Qin Huairu's hand tightly and asked with some excitement and anxiety:
"Really? Do Bang Geng and the others need to change their surnames?" In her opinion, changing surnames is a very important issue. If they change their surnames, they will no longer be children of the Jia family.
Qin Huairu smiled and shook her head, saying, "No need to change it, he has no requirements for this. Mom, do you agree?" There was a hint of expectation and nervousness in her tone, fearing that Jia Zhang would object.
Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu's expectant eyes, patted the back of her hand, and said earnestly, "I agree, Mom agrees. I thought you were deceived before, but now that I know it's Director Yang, I feel relieved."
As she spoke, a relieved smile appeared on her face. Then, Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu and continued, "But, Huairu, you already have an IUD, and you only have one child, Banggeng. You have to win the heart of Director Yang."
"After all, he is a man of status and position. You have to make him loyal to you and do more good things for the family, okay?" There was a hint of advice and expectation in her tone, as if she was imparting her life experience to Qin Huairu.
When Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhangshi mention her IUD, her face froze slightly. She thought to herself that although she already had an IUD, if necessary, she could take it out and give birth to a child for Jianye.
After all, in this family, only a boy can really stand firm. When the time comes, it should be no problem to let the child help out a little.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu adjusted her mood and said to Jia Zhang with a smile: "Mom, I know, don't worry, Banggeng is my child, I am definitely thinking about him."
Then, Qin Huairu continued a little embarrassedly: "Mom, usually Banggeng and the others are closer to you. Can you tell them about this?" She lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and looked a little nervous.
Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu's nervous and expectant expression. Although she secretly spat at her as a "foxy woman" in her heart, her face quickly put on a gentle smile.
She knew that she and Banggeng would have to rely on Qin Huairu in the future, so her tone was full of comfort: "Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job for Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua."
Qin Huairu was grateful when she heard Jia Zhang's promise. She raised her head, tears in her eyes, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mom." She paused for a moment and continued:
"By the way, I will go get the marriage certificate with Jianye tomorrow. We'll talk about it after everything is settled. After all, I'm afraid of unexpected changes." There was a hint of worry and caution in her tone.
Jia Zhang originally wanted to show off that she was the "mother-in-law" of the factory director, but after hearing Qin Huairu's words, she quickly stopped the idea. She knew that now was not the time to show off, and she couldn't let Qin Huairu have any dissatisfaction or waver.
So, she said solemnly: "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter and I will definitely not tell anyone before you get the certificate."
After saying this, Jia Zhang stood up and gently patted Qin Huairu's shoulder to comfort her. She turned and walked into the house, ready to take care of the three children.
