"Sister Qin, how could my brother do this…"
He Yushui sobbed at Qin Huiru.
"Your brother might be in a bad mood. Don't take it to heart.”
Qin Huairu comforted him gently, but she felt terrible inside. She wanted to be comforted, but she could only comfort He Yushui first.
She didn't expect He Yuzhu to be so cold to her own sister.
Previously, although He Yuzhu was carefree and never lost out, he never said anything harsh to He Yuyu. He also doted on his sister, who was dependent on him. He would do whatever his sister said.
He had wanted to use this to improve his relationship with He Yuzhu.
Now that her hopes had been dashed, Qin Huairu felt dejected and did not know what to do.
Was that the only way?
Qin Huairu hesitated and was a little unwilling.
If He Yuzhu continued to provide her with money, she would not have such thoughts.
Now that He Yuzhu's support had been cut off, she hesitated. Even if that was really the case, why should she choose He Yuzhu? Naturally, she had to choose someone with better conditions who could really help change the life of her family.
As she thought about it, Qin Huiru no longer cared about He Yushui. She found her crying very annoying.
She had just suffered this little grievance. What was there to cry about?
With her brother supporting her and spoiling her, she could still go to school without any worries. She had no idea how hard life was.
Unlike him, who lived in the countryside and did not eat or drink well.
She had thought that she would be able to enjoy a good life after marrying into the city, but it was such a life, and she had to bear the burden of supporting her family.
She also wanted someone to dote on her and spoil her, but who would be willing?
He had initially seen a glimmer of hope from He Yuzhu, but now, that glimmer of hope was gone.
The more Qin Huairu thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. As a widow, even if she was virtuous and did not do anything, she would still have to bear the gossips and finger-pointing from the outside world. If she really did it in the future, she would be despised by tens of thousands of people, and her child would not be able to raise her head.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Qin Huairu really did not want to do this.
But now, she felt that she could not hold on any longer.
She was so tired from work, yet she had to be busy at home and carefully calculate how much she would eat for each meal.
Even if the child cried and cried that she was not full, there was not much food.
Because if he was full, he would not have anything to eat for the next meal.
She hoped and hoped that the child would be able to eat his fill every meal.
If he could do it, so what if he suffered some grievances?
……
He Yushui ran away.
He Yuzhu couldn't be bothered. She finished all the noodles, cleaned up the cutlery, washed up, locked the door, and went to bed.
As for He Yushui, he had his own room and did not need to worry.
During the feudal dynasty, this courtyard house belonged to a high-ranking official.
The room he lived in was the west wing at that time. It was also considered one of the master bedrooms. It was very big. Although it was only one room, it was actually as big as three tile-roofed houses.
In the feudal dynasty, only people with status could live in such a house, so there was a side room next to it. It was a very small room for maids to live in, so it was convenient for them to serve tea and water at any time.
Now, He Yushui was staying in this room.
He, on the other hand, stayed in the master bedroom alone.
At a time when housing was scarce and a few people were squeezed into a small house, with such a big house and a golden rice bowl, he was truly a tall, rich, and handsome man. Countless girls were willing to marry him.
However, because of his entanglement with the widow Qin Huairu and the bad rumors, no one was willing to introduce him to anyone.
However, he was really unlucky.
Helping out of kindness was like helping a bachelor.
The most important thing was that He Yuzhu could not reason with him because the atmosphere in this era was very good. Holding hands was a crime of hooligans.
Unmarried men were entangled with widows, and they were the most immoral. Everyone looked down on them, but of course, they could also be envious and jealous.
But no matter what, what He Yuzhu wanted to do the most now was to cut ties with Qin Huairu and wash away the rumors.
If He Yushui were to get involved, she would not even want her sister anymore.
……
The night was quiet.
He Yuzhu woke up at dawn. He didn't have a watch, so he didn't know what time it was.
In the courtyard, he was brushing his teeth by the sink. Qin Huairu was carrying a basin of diapers to wash them. The four-year-old Xiao Dang was beside him, calling him Uncle Silly in a childish voice.
He Yuzhu glanced at her and ignored her.
Qin Huairu bit her lip lightly and looked at He Yuzhu. She wanted to say something but did not know what to say. In the end, she lowered her head and washed the diapers.
He Yuzhu ignored the two of them. After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she was about to leave when she realized that the toothpaste was gone.
Subconsciously, he looked around. Little Dang was eating toothpaste.
Seeing He Yuzhu's gaze, Little Dang looked timid and cried out of fear.
"Little Dang smells good. I want to try it. It's cold and delicious. Silly Uncle, give me some. I'm so hungry.”
Looking at her like this, He Yuzhu's heart ached inexplicably.
"Little Dang, what are you doing? Spit it out. You can't eat it.”
Qin Huairu rushed forward and wanted to slap Little Dang's mouth. Little Dang sobbed, but he refused to open his mouth.
"Why are you like this, child?”
Qin Huairu was so worried that she was on the verge of tears.
It was so early in the morning that everyone in the other rooms heard it.
Yi Zhonghai, the eldest uncle of the middle court, thought that something had happened and ran over anxiously.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Nothing much."
He Yuzhu glanced at him, then at the anxious Qin Huairu. He hesitated slightly and said,"
"Eat a small amount of toothpaste. It's fine.”
He Yuzhu turned around and returned to her room.
Qin Huairu hugged Little Dang tightly by the side of the pool, tears streaming down silently.
