Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Qin Huairu felt bitter after hearing this and thought it was shameful, so she didn't go back to inform her parents.

But she endured it and explained, "There was a misunderstanding at the time, and we had no choice but to get the certificate. But they are good people, they just don't sound very nice."

Qin Jingru nodded and agreed, "That's right, my brother-in-law is a grown man and he can actually cook, and the taste is impeccable. You've made a fortune, sister!"

Qin Huairu sighed inwardly after hearing this, unwilling to discuss this with Qin Jingru, and asked again: "Tell me the truth, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Although she was asking Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu already had a guess in her mind. Most likely, Qin Jingru saw her returning home in glory and bragging about life in the city every time, so she had the idea of ​​marrying into the city. This time she came to ask her to be a matchmaker.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Huairu finished speaking, Qin Jingru said, "Sister, you see, I'm already nineteen this year. You've been in the city for more than ten years and know a lot of people. Can you also find me a husband?"

"My requirements are not high. I just want to live in your yard, eat commercial grain, and -"

Qin Jingru talked incessantly, looking forward to her future life.

Qin Huairu interrupted and said, "Jingru, when you go to the city, you will have to eat expensive food and won't be able to find a job. Do you think people in the city will be stupid enough to marry you?"

Qin Jingru was stunned by what Qin Huairu said, but she remembered that Qin Huairu was able to get married with her three children and mother-in-law, so how could a grown-up girl like her not be able to compare with her?

In her heart, she felt that she was better than Qin Huairu and would definitely be able to find a partner, but she still had to ask Qin Huairu for help in finding a partner. Qin Jingru could only beg:

"Sister, please help me! You don't want me to work in the fields with my back to the earth. Your mother-in-law can make more money by pasting matchboxes on the kang every day, right? You just..."

Qin Jingru kept begging, and she would not give up until Qin Huairu agreed to her request. After seeing all this this time, she was determined to stay in the city even at the cost of her life.

Qin Huairu felt worried when she heard this. She knew that no one would be interested in Qin Jingru, but it was not appropriate to reject Qin Jingru just like that.

If she had been able to get a few people together to meet Qin Jingru before, she would have stopped thinking about it.

Now, given her family's reputation as a traitor and Qin Jingru being a country girl, Qin Huairu couldn't think of a choice after thinking about it. She could only say:

"Jingru, I can't help you with this. It's not that I don't want to help you, but there's really no one I know who is suitable for you!"

"How come there's no suitable one? I see you just don't want to help me. Your factory has tens of thousands of people. I don't believe there's not a single suitable one among them."

One of them tried her best to refuse politely, while the other one didn't care and insisted on asking Qin Huairu to help introduce her to a date. In the end, she even forced Qin Jingru to threaten her, threatening to go back to the village and tell everyone about Qin Huairu's marriage to a father and son. Qin Huairu immediately turned cold and told her to just say whatever she wanted when she returned to the village, as it was nothing shameful.

Qin Jingru then realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized. Qin Huairu turned her head and ignored her.

The matter of introducing the partner ended in nothing, and the side room became quiet. The two of them faced north and south, each with their eyes closed, but they could not fall asleep for a long time.

The next day, after a simple wash, Qin Huairu went to work at the steel rolling mill. Sha Zhu and He Daqing also set out for the street office to carry out their daily routine - working as temporary workers for Director Wang.

He Zhang and Qin Jingru were the only ones left in the room. Qin Jingru looked at He Zhang through the matchbox, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She wanted her to introduce her to a guy in the city, but she felt it was not her place to ask. Besides, she didn't know as many people as Qin Huairu did.

Qin Huairu works in a factory with tens of thousands of employees and all she knows are young workers. Aunt He only knows people in the alleys of the compound. Qin Jingru feels that it is useless for her to say anything.

Thinking of how Qin Huairu refused to find a husband for her yesterday, Qin Jingru became more and more annoyed. She thought she should go out and hang out. Maybe she could fall in love with someone!

Thinking of this, Qin Jingru dropped the brush and said, "Aunt, you go ahead, I need to go to the toilet!"

"Okay, go ahead!" He Zhang nodded with a smile.

Qin Jingru got off the kang and walked out of the house in small steps. She made up her mind that if Qin Huairu didn't help her find a husband, she would stay around and would not leave until she found someone she liked!

Seeing Qin Jingru walk out of the house, He Zhang glared again and cursed: "What a lazy donkey from the country..."

Qin Jingru walked out of the house and prepared to stroll around the yard first. She smiled at the aunties she saw from time to time, but the aunties in the yard ignored her and acted as if they didn't see her.

Qin Jingru was secretly puzzled. After wandering around for a while, she walked out of the courtyard, but was suddenly pulled to the corner from behind by someone.

"Who are you? Did I call for help?" Qin Jingru struggled and shouted.

"Don't shout, I'm not a bad person, I'm the second uncle in the yard, equivalent to the deputy captain of your village production team!" Qin Jingru was then released.

Qin Jingru finally looked up and saw a horse face right in front of her. She quickly stepped back and asked cautiously, "You are the deputy captain of the hospital, why are you talking to me in secret?"

The person who came was Xu Damao. When he saw Qin Jingru asked this question, Xu Damao pretended to be afraid of being seen and glanced around.

Then he leaned in and whispered, "I'm not talking in secret, it's because of your cousin Qin Huairu's house. Didn't you see that everyone was avoiding you just now? Aren't you curious why?"

Xu Damao's question really hit the nail on the head for Qin Jingru. Qin Jingru was wondering about this and quickly asked, "Why?"

Xu Damao said: "Because your cousin's husband, and your cousin's husband's father, your cousin's father-in-law, and stepfather, he is also a traitor, they are all traitors!"

"Your cousin's family background is problematic, so we all avoid her family. You came from her family, so naturally we all avoid you too!"

Xu Damao's words hit Qin Jingru like a heavy hammer. Qin Jingru shouted quickly: "Impossible, I don't believe it. I'm going to ask Auntie if what you said is true!"

Seeing that she didn't believe him and was about to rush into the yard to ask, Xu Damao quickly grabbed her hand, hugged Qin Jingru and said, "Ask your aunt, ask a traitor's wife, what can she say?"

"If you don't believe me, just ask the passers-by in this alley. If you really don't believe me, go ask the whole city. They all know that traitors were shot dead in Xidan Square on December 12. One of them was your brother-in-law's grandmother, the ancestor of our courtyard. Because of this incident, our courtyard was disgraced, so we hate your sister so much..."

Qin Jingru listened to Xu Damao's words and gradually stopped struggling. She asked with some belief in her eyes, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. Didn't I tell you? You can ask around in this alley. They all know about your sister's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the traitor's father and son. Now this is the laughing stock of our street!"

Seeing that Qin Jingru was still a little unconvinced, Xu Damao took her away and asked several aunts along the way. When he saw that they all said that the He family were traitors, Qin Jingru finally believed it.

Then, tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks, and she cried, "Then what do you say I should do? Originally, I came to the city to ask my sister to introduce me to a date in the city, but I never expected that my brother-in-law and his family were traitors. No wonder my sister didn't agree to me last night, it turns out she is a traitor..."

Qin Jingru was emotionally broken and couldn't help crying as she opened her heart to Xu Damao.

After all, he is the only person in the city who takes the initiative to treat her well. Otherwise, she would still be kept in the dark, wandering around the compound with the name of a traitor, being despised and laughed at by others!
