"Brother, Jingru, let's go!"
Qin Jingru pulled her back: "No, they haven't given you an explanation yet."
Qin Huai Niu gripped his iron whip: "If we just leave like this, wouldn't that be letting the Jia family benefit?"
Upon hearing that she was leaving again...
Jia Dongxu was so frightened that he wanted to kneel down in front of her again immediately.
"Huai Ru, you can't leave, you can't abandon me. What will I do if you leave?"
The more people say that...
Qin Huairu leaned on her cane, making it seem like she was about to leave.
He Hongyang saw right through her little trick.
It's just a scare tactic!
They wanted to give the Jia family a hard time in front of everyone!
Zhang Dajun also noticed it.
It's said that even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes; it seems this matter is indeed difficult to resolve today.
On one side is the mother-in-law, and on the other is the daughter-in-law.
On one side is the Jia family, and on the other side is the Qin family.
However, the root of all this lies with Jia Dongxu (Wang Dezhao).
It's his fault for messing up the relationships.
What kind of man is he, acting like a spineless coward?
"Jia Dongxu, you're the man of this family, what do you suggest we do?"
When Jia Dongxu realized he had been called out, he was immediately startled.
Normally, Jia Zhangshi is in charge of this household.
He only cares about going to work and doesn't care about anything else.
How can he possibly handle such a thorny issue?
I want to ask Jia Zhangshi for help.
Madam Jia immediately understood his meaning and was so anxious that she was about to step forward.
Unexpectedly, Qin Huai Niu grabbed him and pinned him down.
"The director was asking about Jia Dongxu. You're just an old woman, so don't get involved."
Qin Huai Niu is a whole generation younger than me.
She actually called herself an old woman.
I was just about to yell at him.
Zhang Dajun said, "He's right. I was asking about Jia Dongxu. Don't get involved."
Madam Jia could only swallow the words that were about to come out.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Jia Dongxu was sweating profusely.
What should he do?
He has no idea how to handle this kind of thing.
suddenly!
A person popped into my mind.
He Hongyang had taught him before, so why not let him step in and resolve the issue!
"Director, may I ask for help?"
Pointing at He Hongyang, he said, "Brother He, what should we do about my family's situation?"
Unexpectedly, after holding it in for so long, he actually managed to utter this sentence.
This is a matter for the Jia family; it's not appropriate to ask He Hongyang about it.
Does their family not even have someone to carry on the family line?
I've never heard of someone asking others about something like this that happened in their own family!
Qin Huairu felt that He Hongyang would definitely side with her.
He immediately added, "I also agree to let Brother He handle it."
When Jia Zhangshi tried to speak, Qin Huairu immediately shut her down.
“The score is now 2:1. Jia Dongxu and I both agree, so you don’t need to add your opinion.”
This was the first time she had stood on the same side as herself.
Jia Dongxu was immediately excited.
"Mom, you don't need to worry about it. Let Brother He handle this."
60. He Hongyang: If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having a military control office?
Since the Jia family has said so.
Zhang Dajun tentatively asked, "Why don't you come out and say a few words?"
Wang Liying also pulled him along, saying, "Brother Hongyang, it seems they really can't solve this. Why don't you say a few words?"
Sha Zhu chimed in, "Big brother, you're the most capable, why don't you say something?"
Others also said so.
"Since Jia Dongxu can't solve it, let He Hongyang step in. He's knowledgeable, cultured, and capable; he'll definitely convince them."
"In the past, it was always Yi Zhonghai who spoke up in these kinds of situations; I never expected it would be He Hongyang's turn now."
"It's because he wasn't home; who knows where he's hiding now."
Since everyone is telling him to speak, he might as well say a few words.
Amid everyone's anticipation, He Hongyang finally spoke.
"Since you've asked me to speak, you must listen to what I'm about to say."
Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu nodded repeatedly.
“Brother He, we will listen to you and do whatever you say.”
He pointed at Jia Dongxu.
"Apologize to Qin Huairu and her family right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Dongxu acted as if he had received a command.
He bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.
"Huai Ru, Jing Ru, brother-in-law, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. If I dare to lay a hand on you again, you can slap me across the face."
Seeing her son like this, Jia Zhangshi wished she could disappear into a mouse hole.
They actually had He Hongyang handle their family's affairs.
She was utterly ashamed that her son, who was clearly older than her, kept calling her "Big Brother."
But who told me that I didn't have the final say?
I might as well close my eyes and ignore it.
Unexpectedly, He Hongyang pointed at her again.
"You come out!"
Madam Jia thought he had called the wrong person, but when she saw everyone looking at her, she realized he was calling her.
"Apologize to Qin Huairu's family!"
Jia Zhangshi opened her mouth wide, her pupils dilating in shock.
Why should I apologize to them?
She was clearly also at fault for what happened last night.
Why should not only Jia Dongxu apologize, but she also has to apologize?
She, Jia Zhangshi, was an elder, a person of considerable standing.
I've never said a cowardly word in my life, how could I possibly speak softly to the Qin family?
“She is my daughter-in-law, and I am her mother-in-law, her elder.”
"I told you to apologize to her family, why are you being so stubborn!"
She was also He Hongyang's elder. He was so young, what right did he have to talk to her like that?
She stood with her neck outstretched, looking as if she were ready to die.
He Hongyang glanced at Jia Dongxu.
"Didn't you just say you'd listen to me? What's going on here? I'm not going to get involved in this anymore."
It was clear that He Hongyang was about to abandon the matter.
Jia Dongxu panicked.
He pulled his mother aside and said, "It was our fault to begin with, you should apologize to them right away."
Madam Jia wished she could slap him a couple of times.
"No way. I'd rather die than apologize."
They really wanted to see how Jia Zhangshi would speak softly.
They all offered their advice.
“Aunt Jia, He Hongyang is doing this for your own good. As long as you apologize, this matter is over. Don’t be stubborn anymore.”
“His brother represents the bride’s family. Your son hit the girl, so what’s wrong with him apologizing to her family?”
"It is said that if a son is not taught, it is the father's fault. I think the Jia family is the mother's fault for not teaching her son. With such a family background, what good son can be raised?"
"The He family has a good family tradition. Although He Hongyang is only the eldest brother, his younger brothers and sisters are all obedient and do not cause trouble."
"Not only are his younger siblings obedient, but his wife is also virtuous and listens to him. The He family is truly blessed to have such an eldest son."
"They say that marrying a virtuous wife brings prosperity to three generations, while marrying a stupid wife ruins three generations. I don't know if Old Jia was blind to have married Zhang Cuihua."
"Qin Huairu is not someone to be trifled with either. Her family is a case of the old daughter-in-law ruining three generations, and the new daughter-in-law ruining three generations. It seems that the Jia family will never be able to turn things around."
Hearing the crowd's comments, Madam Jia became so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged.
How did she become a "stupid wife" when she was clearly very shrewd?
Looking at her son's expression, she realized that if she didn't give in, he might never talk to her again.
Anyway, it's an apology to her family, not to her.
It's over in the blink of an eye.
“His brother-in-law, it was my fault for not disciplining my son properly. I was wrong.”
"Uu——"
Hearing her say "I was wrong," everyone gasped!
Unexpectedly, Jia Zhangshi, who was always proud and arrogant, was able to admit her mistake.
Unexpectedly, Jia Zhangshi, who always spreads lies, has now gotten herself into trouble.
Did she think that simply admitting her mistake would suffice?
He Hongyang gave her a long and earnest lecture.
"If you know you haven't disciplined your son well, then set a good example for him. Stop gossiping about other people's business all day long. Wouldn't it be better to use that time to do some needlework and tidy up the house?"
