Siheyuan: Cooking journey

That silly brainwashed sister is making so much noise all the time, it's really annoying.

He Yuzhu simply kicked her out.

He was half lying on the bed, flipping through a book, his eyes a little dazed.

Just now, a light bulb went off in his head and he felt that Qin Huairu seemed to be interested in him.

After all, they had hardly any contact in the past two months.

As soon as the third uncle mentioned introducing a partner, the two children and she came together. What a coincidence.

Yu'er also said that she asked around and helped with advice. Is this necessary?

But on second thought, he felt that he might be overthinking.

He is twenty-four this year, in the prime of his life, rich and owns a house, a typical tall, rich and handsome man.

And she is a mother raising three children and a widow with a mother-in-law.

She is very smart and should understand the gap between them. This is simply impossible.

Only a fool would give up a good woman and pursue her. She has no competitiveness at all.

Therefore, He Yuzhu believed even more that Qin Huairu was pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy today.

Most importantly, he was not a narcissist and was not naive enough to think that a beautiful young widow would be attracted to him.

If you really want to find one, there are many people who are better than him. Why would you want to hire a chef? You must be crazy.

There had been no contact or support for the past two months. Qin Huairu was so smart that she must have understood that he wanted to draw a line and no longer wanted to have anything to do with her. In the past two months, she had not taken the initiative to strike up a conversation and had no special reaction, which obviously showed that she had accepted this.

She is so scheming that she might have asked others for help in the past two months.

He Yuzhu didn't think any more about it. He read a book for a while and then took a rest.

……

The next morning.

He Yuzhu went to work and passed by the front yard.

The third uncle continued to swing his arms and said enthusiastically:

"Silly Zhu, I left in a hurry yesterday and forgot to tell you that the time to introduce you to someone is tomorrow afternoon. I will ask my eldest brother to find you then."

It's just cooking, why bother bringing it up as an excuse to introduce someone to someone?

He Yuzhu secretly despised her in his heart and was about to refuse when he caught a glimpse of Qin Huairu walking into the front yard.

Thinking of last night's speculation, he responded enthusiastically:

"Third uncle, thank you for your trouble in introducing me to a girl. I will be there on time tomorrow. If it works out, I will definitely provide you with good wine and good food."

"Hey, look at what you said. I'm just warm-hearted, but I'm not seeking anything..."

The third uncle was all smiles, hoping that this fabricated story would come true. He had never mentioned it to Yu Haitang's family before, but now he was planning to let them know. If it came true, there would be benefits.

"Uncle, morning exercise."

Qin Huairu lowered her head, said hello, and walked past without any special reaction throughout.

He Yuzhu paid attention to her expression and didn't find anything unusual, so he felt a little relieved.

He changed his mind and cooperated with the third uncle not for any other reason.

Instead, he suddenly remembered that in the original plot, Sha Zhu remained single because Qin Huairu kept ruining his blind dates.

Although she has changed a lot after traveling through time, who can guess what the scheming Qin Huairu is thinking.

She could very well sabotage it.

He Yuzhu was too lazy to figure it out, so he just used Yu Haitang as a test subject to find out the answer after one try.

It would be fine if Qin Huairu did nothing.

But if she really wants to do something, then we have to have a frank talk with her.

……

In a small alley.

Qin Huairu clenched her teeth, leaned against the wall, and unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes.

She didn't expect that after what happened last night, even though the relationship between the He family and her, a widow, was already special, the Third Uncle actually wanted to intervene and continue to introduce potential partners to He Yuzhu.

There were some things she didn't want to do too obviously, and it was best to leave no trace.

Now, she didn't have any good solution, unless she went straight to the woman and made it clear, but this was too explicit and too despicable.

I would rather demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage.

If she went too far and was discovered, He Yuzhu would only bear a grudge against her, and then she would be completely doomed.

The child is still young and can’t eat much, so she can still cope with it.

But in four or five years, it will definitely not be affordable.

She plans to spend the next four or five years focusing on this matter.

Four or five years later, He Yuzhu was 29 years old. He still had no partner at that time, and because of his reputation, no one would introduce him to anyone.

With such a long period of time, the somewhat cold relationship between the two can be slowly improved.

This is a simple and easy thing to do. Just pay more attention to him when he is in a bad mood.

Everything was imagined beautifully.

But in the first round, he lost.

Qin Huairu sighed and didn't take it too seriously. She was too careless this time. She didn't expect the third uncle to be so shameless. She even suspected that he had a grudge against the girl. He deliberately introduced her to He Yuzhu even though he knew that she was entangled with her.

Since we can't stop the meeting, just let it go.

As long as you are not married, there are plenty of opportunities.

Qin Huairu comforted herself, adjusted her mood, walked out of the alley and headed towards the steel rolling mill.

On the road, not far away.

Qin Huairu saw Xu Damao, her eyes shone, and she immediately stepped forward and said sternly:

"Xu Damao, you bastard, will not have a good ending."

"Oh, my dear sister, you are so enthusiastic so early in the morning. I am really flattered."

Xu Damao grinned and looked at Qin Huairu with narrowed eyes.

"You bastard, if you keep talking nonsense about me and He Yuzhu, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Qin Huairu said fiercely.

"Oh, I'm just talking nonsense. Didn't Shazhu have something going on with you? Don't you want to have something else with him?"

Xu Damao laughed, patted his chest, and said proudly: "If you don't want to have anything to do with him, I will take over and make sure you are happy."

"Oh, you said that yourself."

Qin Huairu glanced at him with disdain and said coldly, "That's perfect. I'll take my three children to your house to recognize their grandparents. I'm worried about how to feed these three children. Having you as a scapegoat is perfect."

"Oh, come on, my dear sister, please don't be like this. I was just joking."

Xu Damao begged for mercy quickly. He couldn't afford to offend her. A widow came to his house with her three children. If she made a fuss, he would have no chance to explain himself. Forget about marrying her.

"Xu Damao, listen to me, I'm not kidding you."

Qin Huairu put her hands on her waist, pointed her finger at his nose and cursed: "If I hear you talking nonsense again, saying that He Yuzhu has something to do with me, I will tear your mouth apart;

"Especially recently, Third Uncle finally introduced a girl to He Yuzhu. If your nonsense ruins the relationship and involves me, ruining my reputation, I won't be able to explain to my mother-in-law. I will take my three children and live with you."

After cursing, Qin Huairu felt relieved and turned away.

Xu Damao was left standing there with an unhappy look on his face, his eyes rolling around, not knowing what he was thinking about.
