Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

In the courtyard, Qin Huairu cleaned up the house inside and out, and then sat on a stool to take a rest. He Yushui and Qin Jingru came in. Qin Jingru was a little embarrassed. He Yushui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go shopping! I want to buy a rubber band and a hairband."

Qin Huairu thought about it and looked at her cousin. It was probably her cousin who instigated her sister-in-law, but she thought that her cousin's life in the countryside was also very hard. So she didn't expose it, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go for a walk. You wait for my sister-in-law, she needs to change her clothes."

He Yushui nodded, took Qin Jingru's hand and went out. The two girls sat on the porch, whispering. "Jingru, let me tell you something. There is a new beautiful rubber band in the supply and marketing cooperative, and I have wanted it for a long time. I will ask my sister-in-law for it later. Anyway, my brother gave my sister-in-law a lot of money. Let my sister-in-law buy one for you, and then you can go back to the village to play." He Yushui said with a smile.

Qin Jingru frowned and said, "Can my sister buy it for me? My sister is so stingy. I really don't want to leave Yu Shui. Can you help me and my sister to beg for mercy?" A cold voice came from behind the two little girls, saying, "You little girl, you actually said that to me behind my back. I wanted to buy you some small things with my private money, but it seems that it is not necessary."

When Qin Jingru heard her sister say that, she quickly hugged her sister's thighs with her short legs. She smiled flatteringly and said, "Sister, are you serious? Will you buy me rubber bands and hair ties? I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that to you just now. Just pretend you didn't hear anything, okay?"

Qin Huairu glared at the naughty girl unhappily, tapped her forehead with her white fingers and said, "Alright, stop crying here. As your sister, how can I not buy it for you? Let's go shopping outside." Hearing this, a sweet smile appeared on her originally depressed little face.

Qin Huairu walked towards the entrance of the courtyard with the two children. When she arrived at the front yard, she saw Third Aunt Yang Ruihua busying herself there. Qin Huairu was very surprised and said, "Third Aunt, you just gave birth to the baby yesterday, and you are working in the fields today. Why don't you take a rest?"

Yang Ruihua smiled and said, "I'm not that precious. I've already given birth to my fourth child. Besides, even if you ask me to stay here to recuperate, I can't do it. Huairu, what do you want to do?" Qin Huairu smiled and said, "I'll take Yushui and Jingru out for a walk. There's nothing to do at home."

This was heard by Jia Zhang who happened to come in. Jia Zhang said, "Hey, silly Zhu. Don't you have anything to do? Can you help me wash my dirty clothes? I am not in good health and can't wash dirty clothes." Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu with sharp eyes. Qin Huairu was stunned. Was she crazy? Why should she wash your clothes?

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, are you kidding me?" Seeing that Qin Huairu was a little unhappy, Jia Zhang's old face looked unhappy and said, "Oh, how could I have the heart to joke with you. You are so young, but you don't know how to help the elderly. You are just an uneducated, wild girl from the countryside."

When Qin Huairu heard this, her pretty face was full of indignation. She was about to curse back, wanting to let this old thing know that she, Qin Huairu, was not someone to be trifled with. Yang Ruihua said from the side, "Okay, sister-in-law. Huairu doesn't have a very good relationship with your family. If you don't want to wash your family's dirty clothes, just wait for your daughter-in-law to come back and let her wash them for you."

Jia Zhang blushed when she was told this, especially when she was mocked by the people around her. The fire in her heart started to burn. But she also knew that she was wrong in this matter. She had not yet reached the lawless level of the later stage of cultivation. She glared at Qin Huairu with her triangular eyes, and went to the middle courtyard with a dark face and dirty clothes.

Yang Ruihua curled her lips and said to Qin Huairu, "Don't pay attention to this old thing. She is such a person who likes to take advantage. Look at those dirty clothes in her shed just now. They are the ones that fell into the toilet yesterday. She is so disgusted with them that she doesn't want to wash them, but she wants you to wash them. Is there so much logic in this world?"

Qin Huairu was very touched when she heard what Yang Ruihua said. She nodded and said, "Third Aunt, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have quarreled with him. But he is the elder after all, and it's not good to make trouble in the courtyard." Yang Ruihua smiled and said, "It's okay, take the children to play, Jia Zhang is just like this, you will get used to it in the future."

Qin Huairu nodded with a smile, and took the two children out of the courtyard. Qin Jingru frowned and said, "Sister, that old woman just now was really shameless. You and them are just ordinary neighbors. There are so many clothes, and she asked you to wash them with just a few words. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Qin Jingru said this like a little adult, and Qin Huairu smiled. He Yushui also said, "That old woman is really disgusting. She even wanted to rob our house. My brother has a very bad relationship with her family, so sister-in-law, you should ignore her in the future. In this courtyard, she dare not do anything to you."

Qin Huairu smiled, patted her sister-in-law's head cheerfully and said, "Okay, sister-in-law understands. We won't bully others in the future, and naturally we can't let others bully us. It's the same for you two in school. Although we don't bully others, we naturally can't let others bully us. Do you two understand?"

The two girls nodded, and Qin Huairu took the two children and went straight to the nearest supply and marketing cooperative. There were still a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative, but most of them just looked around and were reluctant to buy anything. Touching her purse, Qin Huairu was still very confident.

During this period, He Yuzhu gave her a lot of private money, and she decided to be generous to her two sisters. First, she took out the money to pick two hair flowers for her two sisters, and then reluctantly bought two pieces of cloth. She planned to let her third uncle and aunt bring the two pieces of cloth to her parents, so that they could feel her filial piety.
