Chapter 158 Qin Jingru Hates to Marry Xu Damao

Life is full of wonderful experiences and endless surprises, just like the clouds in the sky, ever-changing and colorful. But ordinary life is the norm, just like life grows unconsciously; any magnificent experience, any brilliant life, will return to the daily necessities of life.

Two flowers bloom, each with its own beauty. Li Wan'er had experienced the turmoil that the Xu family had encountered some time ago, and during this period she had seen Xu Damao getting along very well. The ups and downs in life made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she always felt bored, so she thought about going back to her mother's house to stay for a while. Xu Damao was now at the peak of his popularity, and visiting relatives and friends would let others know how outstanding he was. When Li Wan'er mentioned it, he readily agreed, "Take advantage of the Sunday off to take Li Wan'er and her mother and three over."

Another branch: In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, marriages were generally very early in rural areas, and girls generally got married at around 18 years old. For those who got married early, the children of 18-year-old wives could walk, so Qin Jingru's parents followed the general trend in rural areas and began to arrange blind dates for her a few years ago. But in the end, every time a young man came to a blind date, Qin Jingru would find fault with him and always have excuses or various reasons to reject him.

Time flies. Qin Jingru's parents saw that Qin Jingru was already in her early 20s. Although her appearance was not bad in the surrounding villages, time waits for no one. If they don't marry Qin Jingru off, she won't be able to find a good guy in the countryside. So the old couple made up their minds and told Qin Jingru that "if you go on a blind date again this year, you can't let Qin Jingru do whatever she wants. As long as they think it's suitable, Qin Jingru must get married immediately."

Qin Jingru was quite smart. She did not annoy her parents. She agreed to everything on the surface, but secretly prepared a large bag of rural specialties such as "peanuts, dried vegetables, and dried wild mushrooms", and secretly ran to the courtyard house at No. 95 Luoguxiang, South City.

Jia Zhang had had enough of her afternoon nap, and she was sitting at the gate of her house, twisting her shoes that she had made for who knows how many years, eavesdropping on the conversations of the aunties and grandmas in the yard. It was not that she was aloof and did not want to chat with others, but that the aunties and grandmas in the yard would not chat with Jia Zhang. As long as she approached, they would move away.

Qin Jingru entered the courtyard of the quadrangle with a bag on her back and a lot of bags in her hands. The sharp-eyed Jia Zhang saw someone carrying a bunch of things into the yard. After a closer look, it was Qin Jingru. Seeing so many things, how could Jia Zhang let them pass by her door? She put down the patinated soles in her hands, rushed to Qin Jingru, took the bags in her hands, and returned to Jia's house. Qin Jingru could only bite the bullet and follow her into the door.

"Jingru, you are too polite. Why do you bring so many things to your cousin's house?" Jia Zhang said in a falsely polite manner.

After all, the people Qin Jingru met in the countryside were relatively simple and honest, so she didn't beat around the bush and said, "Aunt Jia, I'm planning to give these local specialties to people. You made a mistake."

When Jia Zhang heard this, her face immediately changed. She advised with anger: "Qin Jingru, are you stupid? Or are you brainless? Why don't you give the things to your family and give them to others? Listen to aunt, don't give them to others, just keep them at home. Be good, listen to aunt, aunt loves you..."

Qin Jingru's face turned red when she listened to Jia Zhang's unreasonable request. She was extremely reluctant, but she didn't say no in the end. After all, it was difficult for her to say that she wanted to give the local specialties to her beloved brother Xu Damao!

Although the scene was awkward, it was still broken by the innocent Qin Jingru. She did not ask her cousin where she went on Sunday, but asked about Xiao Huaihua with concern, "Aunt Jia, where is Xiao Huaihua? I have been thinking about her in the countryside."

Jia Zhang moved her mouth towards the old locust tree in the middle courtyard. Qin Jingru looked under the tree and murmured in disbelief, "How can this be a city kid? He is so skinny, so little, and so dirty."

After all, this is a child of the Jia family. Qin Jingru is not stupid and said nothing. But she is a quick-witted person and can't bear to see Xiao Huaihua so dirty, so she went into the kitchen of the Jia family to boil water. Seeing Qin Jingru go into the kitchen as soon as she arrived at the Jia family, Jia Zhang thought to herself, "What is this routine? What does she want to do?" She asked in confusion, "Jingru, it's too early to cook dinner, don't be busy, just chat with aunt first!"

"Aunt Jia, look how dirty Xiao Huaihua is. I want to boil some water so that I can wash her hair and give her a bath." Qin Jingru answered enthusiastically.

Jia Zhang wanted to curse and try to stop them, but when she thought about the huge amount of things Qin Jingru brought with her, she endured it. She didn't want Qin Jingru to take away the things she had just received before they were even warm in her hands.

After boiling the water, Qin Jingru called out to Xiao Huaihua. When Xiao Huaihua saw the stranger next to her grandmother calling her, she cooperated and walked towards the Jia family with her lame left leg. Qin Jingru looked at Xiao Huaihua with a lame leg and couldn't help blaming herself in her heart, "It's all my fault that I was young and didn't take good care of Xiao Huaihua..."

Qin Jingru felt guilty and picked up Xiao Huaihua, regardless of how dirty and smelly she was, and went to the bathtub. Xiao Huaihua looked at the steaming water and used her hands and feet to resist. Because since she could remember, no matter it was the cold winter or the hot summer, Xiaodang always took her to the pool in the middle courtyard and fooled around a few times. She had never seen the steaming water coming to her.

Seeing Xiao Huaihua splashing water, Jia Zhang became furious and shouted, "Jingru, throw this ungrateful little bastard out. Look, she has made the floor full of water."

Jia Zhang's roar scared Xiao Huaihua so much that she behaved herself. Soon, Qin Jingru finished washing Xiao Huaihua's hair and bathing her. She looked at the turbid and dark water in the basin and sighed in her heart, "I don't know how my cousin takes care of her child." After Qin Jingru finished cleaning up Xiao Huaihua, she secretly went to the backyard and saw the closed door of Xu Damao's house. She had no choice but to do some housework at Jia's house while waiting for Xu Damao to come back.

In the evening, the sun quietly set. Qin Jingru did not wait for Xu Damao to return home, but waited for Qin Huairu who was doing something outside. When Qin Huairu saw her cousin Qin Jingru whom she had not seen for many years, she did not show any surprise or enthusiasm, but instead said sarcastically: "Jingru, you are a distinguished guest! You ran away without saying a word a few years ago, what brings you back again!"

Jia Zhangshi heard this and thought, "I finally got some local specialties, but Qin Huairu is trying to ruin my life!" So she said angrily, "Qin Huairu, this is the Jia family. Jingru can come and go as she pleases. Is it your turn to make the decision?"

"Jingru is a good and sensible child. She brought so many local specialties to visit me..." Jia Zhang praised with a self-satisfied feeling.

After all, Qin Jingru had been living in the countryside and was simple-minded. She directly told the reason why she came to Sijiucheng. After hearing this, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu both had their own ideas in mind. They both had the same idea in their minds: "If I marry out of the Jia family, the betrothal money will be passed on to others. Can't I keep some of it..." Qin Huairu immediately changed her expression and boasted enthusiastically: "Jingru, you came to Sijiucheng to find me. You are right to take this path. I will find a few people from the city for you to choose one that you are satisfied with."

Qin Jingru blushed, lowered her head, and said nothing. In her heart, she was thinking of her lover Xu Damao. Although she was straightforward, she was not stupid. She couldn't just say "I don't want to marry anyone else, only Xu Damao!" If she dared to say that, she would either be driven away or beaten, and she would lose her reputation.

It is said that Xu Damao went to Li Waner's parents' home, took out the flour and cigarettes he brought for Li Waner's parents and brothers, and gave the old couple 30 yuan. Li Waner's parents and brothers were very happy, and they praised: "Waner married a good family." After dinner, Li Waner chatted with the old couple. When they learned that Xu Damao would leave early the next morning, they went out to work.

The next day after breakfast, Xu Damao said goodbye to Li Waner's parents and brothers, but when he got to the bicycle, he was not calm. There were two hens hanging on the handlebars and a bag of mountain products tied to the back seat. Xu Damao often went to the countryside, and he knew that life in the countryside was not easy these days, so he declined the offer from Li Waner's parents.

On the side, Li Wan'er, who was holding her son, advised: "Da Mao, you should really take these chickens and mountain products back. Brother Zhu has helped you so much, you should at least show your appreciation..."
