Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

Qin's mother's rapid-fire barrage of words choked back the words that Qin Huairu was about to say.

In fact, she wanted to say that this noodles was actually the food ration given to Jingru by her second uncle, but now she couldn't open her mouth no matter what. She knew that once she told the truth, she would not be able to eat today's meal.

After all, I haven't been back to my parents' home for so long. It would be inappropriate to come back empty-handed after such a long time.

The white noodles at noon were fragrant, and the relatives around were smiling happily, except Qin Huairu, who didn't feel the same way. Why was she so miserable? She had finally married a city man, but her life was so difficult now.

If you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you; if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives.

Not long after the meal, Qin Huairu took Jingru back to Sijiu City. Qin Huairu knew that without that small bag of flour, his relatives would not be so happy.

Fortunately, Qin Jingru was young and inexperienced, so she was fooled by just a few words and didn't mention the matter of white flour anymore.

Yan Jiecheng was sulking at the gate of the courtyard. He had a huge quarrel with his family because of Li Jinyu. When he saw Qin Huairu bringing back a beautiful girl, his eyes lit up instantly. In just one day, he had felt his heart beat twice.

Only at this moment did he realize that he was not doing it out of love, but because he was greedy for the beautiful girl's body.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng acting like a fool, Qin Huairu was not angry. Instead, she introduced her cousin to him generously.

The news spread extremely quickly in the courtyard. In a short while, all the young men in each family knew that a beautiful girl had come to the Jia family, and she was still unmarried.

From the information Qin Huairu revealed intentionally or unintentionally, this girl still wants to find a partner in the city and is looking for a suitable candidate.

This is exactly the effect Qin Huairu wanted. Of course, her target would not be someone like Yan Jiecheng. If Jingru followed him, maybe his Jia family would have to pay for her.

Qin Huairu thought about it and realized that the only wealthy bachelors in the courtyard were He Lin, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

He Lin is of course the first choice, but there are too many beautiful girls around him. Take Yang Xue for example, she is the best choice in terms of figure and appearance, not to mention cultural accomplishment and knowledge. Qin Jingru has none of these qualities and is far better than her. It is probably difficult for He Lin to see Qin Jingru.

As for Sha Zhu, that was his exclusive treasure and ATM, belonging to the Jia family's private plot, how could he share it with others?

The only one left is Xu Damao. Even though he already has a partner now, as long as he is not married, he still has a chance. As long as he can wield the hoe well, there is no corner that he cannot dig down.

Qin Huairu also knew about Brother Damao and knew what kind of person he was. After much thought, Xiliji Ji temporarily set her target as Xu Damao.

"Jingru, we live in the middle courtyard. Those two rooms belong to us. I'll make a bed for you in the outer room, and you can stay there first."

"Okay sister, isn't your mother-in-law at home?"

Qin Jingru shuddered. She really wanted to stay at home, but the key was that she couldn't come back.

However, according to the date, Jia Zhang will be released soon, and she asked her cousin to come over to fill this vacuum period and help her look after the child.

"Alas, my mother-in-law was possessed by a ghost some time ago. She said a few words related to feudal superstition in the yard. As a result, she was reported and locked up. It was really pitiful."

Qin Huairu told a brief story of Jia Zhang's deeds half-truthfully, focusing on the misery and pity of the woman, which made Qin Jingru sigh.

"Don't worry, sister. I'll help you look after the children while your mother-in-law is away. I'll help you with the housework in the future."

These words touched the laundry girl's heart. This cousin is really sensible.

Starting from dinner, Qin Huairu was freed from housework. Although she still had steamed cornbread with cornmeal porridge, this meal that she didn't have to cook tasted especially delicious.

The children didn't say anything about their new aunt. As long as they had their own food to eat, it didn't matter who cooked it.

Banggeng has completely stopped going to school and has been hanging out with his older brother Tong Xiaomeng, running around all day and being crazy. Qin Huairu doesn't care about him and just lets him do whatever he wants.

"Aunt, your cooking is so delicious. It would be nice if there was some meat tomorrow."

"Okay, Bang Geng, as long as you listen to me, we'll have some meat tomorrow, and Auntie will cook you some meat dishes."

"Long live my aunt, you are much better than my mother."

Bang Geng took a big bite of the steamed bread in his hand, as if all the strength in his body had increased.

Qin Huairu curled her lips and said nothing. What about the meat? The corn flour at home would not last for a few more days.

"Sister, do you have a meat ticket? I still have a few dollars, but I can't buy meat without a ticket."

"Your sister doesn't have a formal job yet. When I go to the steel mill to take over, I'll have meat coupons. I'll tell you about the situation in our hospital, and you can go to their house to borrow meat."

"Ah, can I still borrow the meat?"

Qin Jingru felt as if she had heard something out of the Arabian Nights. Although they were poor in the village, they could just borrow some cornmeal or something like that. If there was no meat, they would just not eat it. How could they go to borrow meat from others?

Besides, I just arrived in the yard today and don’t know anyone here.

Isn't this nonsense?

"He Lin is the most senior leader in this hospital. He is the section chief of the steel mill. He earns more than 100 yuan a month. I heard that he has connections with senior leaders. He is also good at technology and cooking. He is only in his 20s and looks handsome. If you can establish a relationship with him, you can enjoy the benefits."

Although she knew that there was no hope with He Lin, Qin Huairu still painted a rosy picture for her sister. "Anyway, I've introduced you to this opportunity. It's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity."

"And Xu Damao's family is not bad either. His family is well-off to begin with, and he works as a projectionist in a steel mill, so his salary is not low. He is one of the top eight officials, and every time he comes back from the countryside, he can bring some local specialties, and he is not married yet."

"I understand, sister, but you should go in person to borrow the flesh. I'm not familiar with them, so I'm afraid I can't do it well."

Qin Huairu's face was full of question marks.

Well, all my words were in vain.

"You are not familiar with the Pigeon Market here. Jingru, give me the money you have first, and I will find a way to get some meat."

Qin Jingru shuddered. She now had 6 yuan in her hand, which her father had secretly given her before he left. This was her own private money, and she really didn't want to give it to him, but she had to bow her head under someone else's eaves. Besides, she was referring to Qin Huairu to introduce her to someone.

"Okay sister, then I'll give you the money."

As she spoke, Jingru took out three yuan and gave it to Qin Huairu readily. Of course, she kept the remaining three yuan for herself and would never tell anyone about it.
