Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

Qin Jingru sat on a stool and looked around the room.

The house was very small, with only two rooms, each of which seemed crowded. Cooking had to be done outside as there were no kitchen facilities in the house.

Seeing all this, Qin Jingru couldn't help but frown, with a hint of obvious disgust in her eyes.

When Qin Huairu saw her expression, she immediately touched her shoulder and signaled her not to be too explicit.

The deaf old lady looked at them, smiled, and said, "I'll go get you some water. Shazhu will be back soon."

"Okay, thank you, old lady." Qin Huairu nodded politely.

After the deaf old lady slowly walked out of the room, Qin Huairu immediately turned around and glared at Qin Jingru, then lowered her voice and said, "Be more restrained and don't show your thoughts on your face."

Qin Jingru frowned and whispered in dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say that his family was well off? The house was very big? Is this the house you were talking about?"

Qin Huairu knew that her sister was disliking the house, and recalled what she had said to Qin Jingru in the letter before. At that time, He Yuzhu did have a spacious house in good conditions.

She thought her sister could still occupy a room after she came, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this.

So, she patiently explained: "He did have a big house, but... circumstances have changed."

"Changed? What happened?" Qin Jingru asked puzzledly.

Before Qin Huairu could explain, He Yuzhu's voice came from outside: "Who's here?"

Qin Huairu immediately stood up and went out to greet him with a smile: "Shazhu, you are finally back."

When He Yuzhu saw Qin Huairu, he immediately smiled and walked up to her: "Sister Qin, how come you have time to come here today?"

Qin Huairu winked at him and said with a smile: "My sister just arrived in the capital. I brought her to see the old lady and say hello to you."

He Yuzhu immediately understood what she meant and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. You guys are really thoughtful."

Qin Huairu told him yesterday that Qin Jingru would come in the next two days, but he didn't expect her to arrive so soon, which caught him off guard.

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "We are all from the same compound, so we should help each other."

As they were talking, they walked into the house and Qin Huairu began to formally introduce themselves.

When Qin Jingru saw He Yuzhu come in, she immediately felt unhappy.

She thought, is my sister deliberately trying to trick me? She found such an old man for me? This is totally different from what she imagined!

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Jingru, this is He Yuzhu. We all call him Shazhu, but he is not stupid at all."

Qin Jingru smiled indifferently, without much enthusiasm on her face.

Qin Huairu then introduced: "Shazhu, this is my sister Qin Jingru."

"Hello, hello." When He Yuzhu saw Qin Jingru, his heart was full of anticipation and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

Qin Jingru simply responded: "Hello."

He Yuzhu tried to be more friendly and asked with a smile: "Are you used to the capital now? Have you been out playing today? If not, I can take you around."

Qin Jingru said indifferently: "My sister has already taken me out for a walk and I have seen it."

"Oh, really?" He Yuzhu was blocked by her coldness, feeling a little embarrassed, but he continued: "Beijing is so big, there must be many places you haven't visited. When I'm on vacation, I'll take you around again."

When Qin Huairu heard He Yuzhu's proposal, she knew that he was satisfied with her sister, and a smile appeared on her face.

She agreed, "Yes, the capital is huge. Today we just took a walk around. When we have time, Shazhu will take you around again. I guarantee you will be amazed."

Qin Jingru nodded, but her mind was not on He Yuzhu.

The image of the handsome man she saw in the afternoon appeared in her mind again.

If she hadn't met that man, she might have thought He Yuzhu was a good guy.

After all, he has a stable job and a secure life, so life will be peaceful with him.

However, she had met the man she fell in love with at first sight, and everything changed.

She felt that if she was looking for a husband, she should look for someone like that, who was pleasing to the eye and had an interesting life, unlike He Yuzhu, who looked old and had no interest in life.

If you didn't know, he would really look like your own father if you took him out.

Seeing that Qin Jingru agreed so readily, He Yuzhu hurriedly said, "Since the girl is here, why don't you stay for dinner tonight? I'll go out to buy groceries now."

Qin Huairu was about to agree, but Qin Jingru stood up and said coldly: "No need."

"Jingru..." Qin Huairu was a little surprised. She didn't expect her sister to refuse.

Having a meal is a good opportunity to deepen understanding and enhance feelings.

Qin Jingru explained: "I have been walking around all day today. I am really tired and want to go back and have a good rest."

Qin Huairu said to He Yuzhu helplessly: "It was her first time in Beijing today, and she did spend the whole day wandering around. I am exhausted, and she must be even more tired."

He Yuzhu said considerately, "In that case, go back and rest, and we'll meet again another day. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and we can have dinner together anytime."

Qin Huairu nodded and smiled: "Yes, then we will go back first."

"Okay, go back and have a good rest." He Yuzhu saw them out the door and watched them walk towards the central courtyard, his heart full of satisfaction and expectation.

After watching them leave, He Yuzhu turned around and saw the deaf old lady looking at him with a smile.

"You look like you like it?" asked the deaf old lady.

He Yuzhu smiled shyly: "Well, it's pretty good. Apart from being from the countryside, other conditions are OK."

The deaf old lady laughed and shook her head after hearing this: "You are not young anymore, stop being picky. Since you think it is okay, then just enjoy it."

"I understand, old lady." He Yuzhu nodded in response.

The deaf old lady seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.

"What's wrong?" He Yuzhu asked in confusion.

"Nothing." The deaf old lady shook her head, wondering if she was overthinking.

After all, with Qin Jingru's conditions, it was already a high-end marriage for her to be able to enter the capital, so how could she not look down on He Yuzhu?

She thought that Qin Jingru would definitely regret it if she missed Sha Zhu.

He Yuzhu didn't think much about it. He was in a very good mood at the moment and was looking forward to the future.

He is not a child anymore. If he doesn't get married, he may have no children in this life.

When he met Qin Jingru today, he felt very satisfied and thought that as long as he put in some effort, the marriage would be possible soon.

However, on the other side, after Qin Jingru returned home, she sat down on a stool with anger on her face, and glared at Qin Huairu angrily.

"Sister, look at how anxious he was just now, it's so disgusting, I don't like it!" Qin Jingru said angrily.

Qin Huairu replied angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about? You are still the one who is picky?"

Qin Jingru pouted in dissatisfaction: "Anyway, I don't like him, I will never marry him!"
