As soon as Li Huaide finished speaking, Director Li continued, "Comrade Qin Huairu, according to my experience, for situations like yours, it's best to privately negotiate a reasonable solution. In my opinion, Comrade He Yushui's proposal is quite good. If she truly disregards all sentiment, she could directly sue, and then it wouldn't be as simple as a private settlement. Not only would someone from your Jia family have to go in, but you'd still have to repay the money! Now, while Factory Director Li is here, if you truly have difficulties, the factory can also appropriately help you resolve them!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu tearfully said, "I can accept a ten-yuan deduction from my salary each month, but I really can't make decisions about the house!!!!"
The Jia family, as one of the oldest residents in the Siheyuan (Courtyard), their house was also a private residence, lacking one wing room compared to Yi Zhonghai's house, with only one side room, valued at around four hundred yuan.
He Yushui's proposed solution was that the house would first be compensated to the He family, and then ten yuan would be given to the He family from her monthly salary until the 2500 yuan was fully repaid.
Before the money was fully repaid, the Jia family's work position could not be sold. Qin Huairu understood that if He Yushui's plan was followed, the Jia family's life would become thoroughly difficult.
This was also the main reason she didn't want to agree. She had also prepared to be a deadbeat, but as soon as she heard that someone would have to go in if the money wasn't repaid, her heart began to waver!
Currently, the only ones in the Jia family who could make decisions were her and her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi. Let Jia Zhangshi go in? Wouldn't Jia Zhangshi kill her?
He Yushui sneered, "Qin Huairu, stop your crying, making it seem like we're bullying you. I'm not Sha Zhu, and your tricks won't work on me. Things have come to this point, and it's still your Jia family's fault for being so ruthless, preying on the vulnerable! You've already had an IUD inserted, so stop pretending to be pure. Do you really think everyone else is a fool? Since you can't make decisions about the house, go back now and call Jia Zhangshi here. No matter what, the money your Jia family owes my He family must be settled today! If not, I'll sue!!!"
Ever since the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law showed disgust in the court, He Yushui had no intention of being polite with them. They would have to fall out sooner or later, so it was better to simply kick them out of the Courtyard, saving herself from Jia Zhangshi's constant nagging and the disgusting sight of her!
Hearing He Yushui's words, Qin Huairu was stunned. She never expected that her biggest secret was known by He Yushui! Only now did she realize that He Yushui was the one who hid the deepest in the Courtyard. Perhaps the Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai couldn't compare to He Yushui.
Li Huaide's eyes narrowed. Good heavens, the Qin Widow had good methods. He had originally intended to have an in-depth discussion with the Qin Widow after the matter was settled, but now it seemed this widow was a Black Widow, not to be touched.
At the same time, he felt some sympathy for Sha Zhu. What kind of karma did he accumulate in his previous life to encounter such a widow? Compared to her sister He Yushui, Sha Zhu was truly a fool, no wonder he was always so muddled and confused!
Director Li and the special investigation team leader also looked displeased. To prey on the vulnerable to Qin Huairu's extent was truly astounding!!!!
One must know that the Qin Widow had borrowed a total of 2500 yuan from Sha Zhu, before and after. When Jia Dongxu had an accident, the factory's compensation was only five hundred yuan.
2500 yuan was equivalent to five Jia Dongxus! It showed how ruthless, how dark, and how venomous the Qin Widow was!!!!
"You..." Qin Huairu was stunned by He Yushui's words, tears streaming down her face. Having her past exposed, and in front of others, clearly made Qin Huairu feel utterly helpless!
Qin Huairu, who was about to speak but stopped, looked at Li Huaide, then at Director Li, and after a moment of thought, said, "I'll go back and call my mother-in-law now!"
With that, Qin Huairu fled the Factory Director's office in a panic.
He Yushui smiled slightly, nodded at Factory Director Li, and said, "Factory Director Li, I'll have to trouble you this time. I know my Silly Ge is usually muddled and confused, and he has offended you many times in the past. Please be understanding!"
"Not at all, not at all. I understand your siblings' situation. You are both unfortunate people!!!!" Li Huaide said with a chuckle. He handled human relations perfectly!
"Thank you for your understanding. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I have already recognized my father, and it won't be long before I might return to Si Jiu City to develop. My father has a second-level chef certificate, and his cooking skills are not something my brother can compare to!" He Yushui said with a smile.
"Oh?" Hearing He Yushui's words, Li Huaide immediately became interested. He preferred to eat, and in the past, he had to look at Sha Zhu's face to get him to cook!
"I heard your brother took a long leave. What's his situation now?" Li Huaide asked!
As the former head of logistics, how could He Yuzhu's long leave be concealed from Li Huaide?
He Yushui said with a chuckle, "He went to Bao City with my father to find a wife. With Qin Huairu's presence in Si Jiu City, my brother will never be able to marry a wife in his entire life!"
Upon hearing this, Li Huaide already had a guess. He knew exactly what kind of person Sha Zhu was. For the sake of a widow, he was really putting his all into it!
Inside the Factory Director's office, the four people chatted desultorily. Half an hour quickly passed, and Qin Huairu brought Jia Zhangshi to the office.
"Thud..."
After Jia Zhangshi entered, without a word, she immediately knelt before Factory Director Li!
"Factory Director Li, you must help us! We can't live like this anymore!!!!" Jia Zhangshi cried loudly.
Seeing this, Li Huaide quickly stood up, went to Jia Zhangshi, and helped her up.
"Old lady, please don't do this. Let's talk things over properly!" Li Huaide said while helping Jia Zhangshi up and trying to persuade her, cold sweat already appearing on his forehead!
"Factory Director Li, the house is the lifeblood of my Jia family! My family cannot be without a house!!!!!" Jia Zhangshi pleaded pitifully.
Li Huaide glanced at Qin Huairu beside him, a hint of disgust flashing across his face. He asked, "Didn't Qin Huairu explain it clearly to you? The house you are currently living in will be offset to the He family at five hundred yuan above market price, and the factory will arrange a similar-sized house for your family! After that, ten yuan will be deducted from Qin Huairu's salary each month and given to the He family until the debt is fully repaid. Before all the loans are repaid, the Jia family is not allowed to sell their work position! Old lady, this plan is beneficial to your family, after all, this repayment plan doesn't even include interest!"
"This..." Before coming here, Qin Huairu had only given a general idea. Now, listening to it, it wasn't impossible to accept. Jia Zhangshi looked at Li Huaide, then at Director Li, and after some consideration, she had a plan in mind but couldn't make up her mind.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi's hesitant expression, Director Li repeated what he had previously said to Qin Huairu to Jia Zhangshi.
Upon hearing that if the matter went to court, not only would they have to repay the money, but they might also go to jail, Jia Zhangshi immediately agreed!
