Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

When Qin Jingru heard that Wang Dabao knew Qin Huairu, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

"Your sister and I live in the same compound. How can we not be familiar with each other?" Wang Dabao said happily, "Whenever you go to your sister's house, remember to come and play with me. Then Brother Dabao will buy you some delicious food."

"So you guys live in the same compound. That's great. I'll have to tell my parents about this later."

Qin Jingru was so happy. She knew that Wang Dabao must be a city person. Judging from the way he spoke and talked, his family conditions must be good. For Qin Jingru, who was determined to marry into the city, Wang Dabao was simply the perfect candidate.

But she didn't know whether Wang Dabao was married or not. He didn't look much older than her, so he should not be married yet. Qin Jingru began to wonder in her heart and planned to ask her parents to find out when she had the chance.

The motorcycle caused quite a stir when it entered the village, and many children followed behind it.

Qin Jingru felt a little embarrassed, so she put down the two puppies, got off the sidecar, and walked together with Qin Mancang.

"Hey, Mancang, is this the son-in-law that your Jingru found? It's amazing. Is this a motorcycle?!"

"I told you that Qin Jingru wouldn't fall for Liu Ertian from the next village, but you still didn't believe me. Look, she has brought him home."

"This son-in-law of the Qin family is a cadre, right? How high of an official must he be to be able to ride a motorcycle?!"

"I can't envy you enough. The Qin family had Qin Huairu who married into the city before, and this Qin Jingru is even more amazing. She found a cadre who rides a motorcycle."

Listening to the villagers' discussions, Qin Jingru's face turned red with shame. She walked with her head down, secretly sighing that it would be great if it was really as everyone said.

Qin Mancang hurriedly explained to others that his daughter was still unmarried and he couldn't let her reputation be ruined. Even if the young leader was not married, he might not be attracted to his daughter.

After listening to Qin Mancang's explanation, everyone finally understood and said that it was their duty to treat the other person to a meal.

When she arrived at Qin's house, Qin Jingru ran into the house and explained to her mother for a while. After a while, Qin's mother came out to greet her.

"Oh, leader, thank you so much today." Qin's mother felt a little embarrassed. Like her husband Qin Mancang, she treated Wang Dabao as a big shot.

"Auntie, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Wang Dabao."

"Brother Dabao and my sister's family live in the same compound." Qin Jingru interrupted.

Qin Jingru's parents were stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on their faces, and Qin Mancang quickly let Wang Dabao into the house.

Mother Qin found a large porcelain bowl and poured hot water into it. She held it in both hands and brought it to Wang Dabao on the edge of the kang: "Then I will call you Dabao. I heard from Jingru that you and Huairu live in the same compound?"

"That's right, auntie. We do live in a compound."

Wang Dabao picked up the water, took a sip, and answered.

"Brother Dabao, my sister came back and told me that her family has meat to eat every day. Is that true?" Qin Jingru asked curiously while standing aside.

Before, every time Qin Huairu came back, she would show off to her sister how good life in the city was, which made Qin Jingru yearn for city life.

However, Qin Jingru was still a little skeptical about whether one could eat meat every day, so she wanted to learn about the lives of city people through Wang Dabao.

"Well...how should I put it?"

Wang Dabao hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Whether in the city or the countryside, there are people who live well and those who live poorly. As for your sister's family, eating meat every day is impossible, but eating it once a month is fine."

"So you're not living a good life?" Qin Jingru blinked her big eyes and prepared to get to the bottom of it.

"You could say that."

Wang Dabao nodded. "Your brother-in-law Jia Dongxu doesn't earn much, and he has to support a large family. How can he not live a tight life? I heard recently that he was demoted and his salary was deducted for several months. How can he not live a hard life?"

"I said my sister always brags about it every time she comes back, and says she's tired of eating meat every day."

Qin Jingru seemed to have caught Qin Huairu's tail. She kept talking to Qin's mother, then turned to look at Wang Dabao, "Brother Dabao, your salary should be quite high, right?"

"I?"

Wang Dabao was ready to show off, "Not much, just three or four times what your cousin's husband Jia Dongxu makes. And I live alone, earning money and spending it alone, so I can basically buy whatever I want to eat. Otherwise, why did I say I'll treat you to a meal when you go find your sister?"

Wang Dabao’s words shocked the three people around him. Three or four times Jia Dongxu’s salary?

When Jia Dongxu's salary was 27.5 yuan before, Qin Huairu boasted about it being over 30 yuan when she got home. Wouldn't three or four times that be 180 yuan? !

"Oh my god, Da...Brother Bao, you earn so much money every month, how do you spend it all?"

Qin Jingru stared with her big black eyes in shock, looking unbelievable, "Compared like this, my sister's family is really having a hard time."

"How can I not spend it all?" Wang Dabao shook the watch on his wrist, "A watch like this costs me two months' salary."

Qin Jingru looked at the watch on Wang Dabao's wrist with envy.

Only then did she realize that there were poor and rich people in the city, and her cousin Qin Huairu's family belonged to the poor group, while Wang Dabao in front of her belonged to the rich group.

Mother Qin glared at Qin Jingru and said, "Your sister's family is having a hard time compared to your brother Dabao and our family. It's much better than ours."

What Qin's mother said was not wrong. Even if people in the city were poor, their lives were better than those of most rural people. Even if the situation was bad, they would not starve to death.

Qin Mancang was also stunned by Wang Dabao's salary. He had never thought that someone could earn so much money in a month. Thinking of the shy look his daughter had shown when she looked at the other person before, he couldn't help but sigh.

With Wang Dabao's status and conditions, he could easily find a lot of girls in the city. How could he possibly find a rural girl like his own daughter?

Wang Dabao's words revealed that he lived alone, and this news made Qin Jingru feel as sweet as eating honey.

Wang Dabao's purpose of coming to the Qin family was to prevent Qin Jingru from being fooled by Xu Damao in the future. He came here first to get acquainted with Qin Jingru's family and to ensure that she would find him first when she arrived in the city.

Is Qin Jingru beautiful?

She is indeed beautiful, recognized by everyone in the surrounding villages, but the most important thing is that she is easy to control and obedient.

It is impossible to say that Wang Dabao has no feelings for Qin Jingru, otherwise he would not have come here. But there is no rush now, as long as he knows her face.

Now that his goal has been achieved, Wang Dabao also plans to say goodbye and return to Wangjialou Village.

After politely declining the Qin family elders' invitation to dinner, Wang Dabao took the two little ones and rode away on his motorcycle.

Qin Jingru looked at Wang Dabao's disappearing back and refused to turn her head for a long time.
