Siheyuan: Get god-level cooking skills at the beginning

Chapter 89: I Can't See You When I Look Down

I have borrowed money from him many times, but he never pursued it. Maybe he still has other ideas about me. But now Zhuzi is married, so he will not think about us anymore. He has been kind enough to forgive my debt.

Living in the same courtyard, we see each other every day, and things will get better over time." Qin Jingru heard this and understood that Qin Huairu had chosen to accept reality.

"Then how are you going to live in the future? Your income is only enough for you, your children's tuition and other household expenses?" Qin Jingru said worriedly, because with Qin Huairu's current salary of only 27 yuan a month, life is indeed not easy.

Qin Huairu replied calmly, "At this point, we can only take one step at a time. My mother-in-law is in prison, and the medical expenses saved should be able to barely cover the children's school fees. What worries me most is Banggeng's study. Originally, Zhuzi raised chickens for Banggeng, and he behaved quite sensibly in those days. But my mother-in-law made a fuss and beat up four chickens that night. Since then, Banggeng has returned to his original state. Alas, there is no point in saying anything, just let nature take its course, and things will get better."

She already had an idea that she would no longer rely on others for her livelihood in the future. When the children grow up, she can fulfill her responsibilities. "Maybe you are right, everything will slowly get better. But, sister, Damao has been avoiding me since he drove me away. Please do me a favor and find a chance to talk to him. Maybe we can save some friendship."

"If this goes on, I'm afraid our relationship will break down completely." Qin Jingru said worriedly. Her only way out is to regain Xu Damao's love. Otherwise, without a city hukou, it will be difficult to obtain a share of commercial grain and survive in Kyoto for a long time. What's more, after Qin Huairu's father broke up with her, it became extremely difficult to return to Xu Damao. Whether to go home or stay, there are many difficulties.

Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru, and after careful consideration, she said, "You have three options now: First, you can go back to the countryside and find a farmer to marry. Even if your body has been defiled, you will still have a chance to marry in the eyes of a family that longs for a daughter-in-law."

Qin Jingru immediately rejected this suggestion: "That's not the life I want. I don't want to live a life of facing the loess. Sister, you are also from the countryside, you should understand the life of being hungry and full, working hard just to earn a few work points, and the annual income is pitifully small. I don't want to go back. Even if it's **, I don't want to."

"Secondly, I can help you find a partner in the city, but your past may become an obstacle and it will be difficult for you to find a satisfactory family. Maybe it can only maintain our current life and not starve, but we will not be rich either." Qin Huairu thinks this is a more feasible method, but Qin Jingru may not be satisfied with it.

Qin Jingru hesitated in her heart. When she thought that her future might be a yellow steamed bun with porridge, she immediately shook her head and asked naively: "Sister, with my current appearance and figure, can't I find a family with better conditions?"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu was suddenly amused and angry: "Do you think that the conditions of 'Shazhu' are good? You didn't go with me to see Xu Damao at the beginning. Now if you want to seek better conditions, you have to let the other party accept it?"

"Oh, I just mentioned it casually. After all, you have a third suggestion, right? Why don't you tell me and I will make the decision later?" Qin Jingru smiled awkwardly, thinking that there was nothing wrong with her question.

"Third, try your best to win back Xu Damao. If he is willing to spend the rest of his life with you, your future will be easier than it is now. Although his salary has been reduced to 27 yuan per month, his identity as a projectionist allows him to easily make money at rural movie nights. But the problem is that you have to be able to impress him and make him no longer regard you as having the same fate as me. This is the biggest challenge." Qin Huairu said truthfully.

Qin Jingru understood what her sister meant: "I know what you mean, sister. I still hope to be with Xu Damao. As you said, as long as his job as a projectionist is stable, his life will definitely improve. Moreover, imagine that if Xu Damao and I get married, our houses will be close to each other, and I can secretly help your family. For example, I can give you 1 to 2 yuan a month. Although the amount is small, it can make your life more comfortable, isn't it? Sister?"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu pondered for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, since you have thought it through, I will try to plan it for you. I have been thinking about it since the day you were expelled. Since you said this, I decided to tell you the most effective solution."

As soon as she heard about the specific plan, Qin Jingru immediately asked anxiously: "Sister, what is the plan? Tell me quickly!"

"It's simple. The relationship between Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e is difficult to maintain, and it has something to do with you.

But the fundamental problem is that they have no children. If you get pregnant, even if he doesn't like you, he can't avoid the reality, he will still accept this reality and let you go home." Qin Huairu explained.

When Qin Huairu mentioned the word "pregnancy", Qin Jingru looked surprised and flustered. She was not pregnant. Seeing her sister's expression, Qin Huairu smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to get pregnant, you can just pretend to be pregnant. I can ask Dr. Wang from our factory health center to issue a fake pregnancy diagnosis certificate. Take this paper to see Xu Damao, he will definitely accept you for reality and let you return to the family."

"This is a good idea, sister, let's do it. Anyway, after we get married, we can find an opportunity to pretend to have a miscarriage." Qin Jingru said excitedly.

"You are a smart girl. You know how to do these things without me teaching you. That's good. Just wait patiently. After the New Year, in the second month of the lunar calendar, act according to this method. By then, don't forget what your sister has done for you." Qin Huairu suggested happily.

"Sister, you have helped me so much, how can I be ungrateful? You can rest assured." Qin Jingru promised immediately.

The two sisters had just finished discussing their plan when they heard a quarrel outside.

"Catch that stick brat who stole the meat from our dinner. We haven't even had any of it yet, and he's already taken the whole plate of meat and run away."

"Oh no, that bastard Gunzi is causing trouble again."

The increasingly unbearable curses outside made Qin Huairu rush out to see what was going on.

In the central courtyard of the quadrangle, Yan Jiefang, Liu Guangtian and others were complaining loudly. To them, there was no mercy:

"If I knew about that rascal, I would cripple him. I finally had a good meal, but he took it all away before I could even taste a bite." Liu Guangtian was very angry.

Meanwhile, Yan Jiefang was also cursing and complaining: "This little bastard who has no mother to discipline him, he took away the dish with the most meat right after our dinner."

"Enough, stop arguing, Qin Huairu is out." Yan Jiecheng was standing by and saw Qin Huairu running out. He immediately dissuaded them from continuing to curse.

"Hmph, what's the big deal if Qin Huairu shows up? Her stick snatched our meat and vegetables, how can I not scold her? Really!" Liu Guangtian said with great contempt.

Seeing his brother getting angry, Liu Guangfu did not show any leeway: "Brother Zhuzi hosted a banquet, and their family pretended to be deaf and dumb. Now that the food is ready, it's her child's turn to show off. What's wrong with a few words of scolding? What?" He also started to yell.

At this moment, Qin Huairu understood the cause of the incident, but she did nothing wrong and really didn't know how to respond. At this time, He Yuzhu finished the last dish and his face looked unhappy. Liu Haizhongqiu beside him said unpreparedly: "Guangtian, Guangfu, and the rest of you, keep your voices down. This is Zhuzi's wedding today. No matter how angry you are, you must know how to control yourself."

When they heard their father's warning, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu immediately shut up, fearing that it would cause more serious trouble.

"Hua Zi, serve them another dish to calm the atmosphere." He Yuzhu saw Liu Haizhong talking and didn't pursue it any further. After all, it was his happy day, so it was not appropriate to start a big dispute. He immediately gave the order.

"Understood, Master. I'll send it right away." Cheng Huazhi replied.

Ma Hua nodded in acceptance, then scooped another dish and said to the others with a smile: "Master is hosting a banquet today, so let's all be harmonious and friendly and don't be too talkative." After that, he placed the food on the table.

Seeing Ma Hua speak and serve the dishes, the few people sat down and continued to eat. Ma Hua saw Qin Huairu's extremely embarrassed look and whispered: "Master Qin, don't do things like this. Master invited you to dinner and you let your child mess up? Today your child is sensible, otherwise I will teach him a lesson! If it were any other time, I would have taken your child away and beaten him so that he would not dare to come next time."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this kid is ignorant, I apologize to everyone on his behalf. I'll go find him and bring back the dishes." Qin Huairu apologized hurriedly. Because everyone looked at her with contempt, she knew that if she didn't apologize at this moment, their life at home would be very difficult.

"You don't have to bring back the dishes. We will treat our children to a meal as if you were at home. But Qin Huairu, you can only make a mistake once, not again and again. Although my husband doesn't want to investigate further for the sake of our neighborhood, I have no friendship with your family. If something goes wrong next time, I will have the police station take your children away for a few days to calm down without saying a word."

After Wang Qian's angry speech, no one said anything. She was disgusted by this kind of sneaky behavior, especially when she remembered that the Jia family just owed her husband a hundred yuan, she would never be lenient. "I'm really sorry, it's my son who is too ignorant. I will go to him immediately and teach him a lesson when I come back."

Qin Huairu apologized and hurried out of the house, feeling that it was too embarrassing to stay here any longer. "Baby, don't be angry. Today is a festive day. Try not to mention this matter as much as possible." He Yuzhu took off his apron, gently took Wang Qian's hand and comforted her.
