Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

Chapter 199: Being courteous for nothing

Chen Wenhui was carrying a basket full of fresh vegetables, and her two children followed her obediently, looking around.

Ever since the birthmark on her face was cured by Lu Qing, she has become the most eye-catching woman on the street.

She not only has an exquisite appearance and a slim figure, but also exudes an elegance in her every move.

When people see her on the street, they can't help but look at her a few more times.

In the past, everyone felt sorry for Lu Qing because he married an "ugly wife".

But now, seeing that Chen Wenhui is so beautiful and has a pair of lovely children, many people secretly envy Lu Qing, thinking that he is not only successful in his career but also has a happy family.

Chen Wenhui smiled and greeted her neighbors along the way, her heart full of happiness. When she arrived at the door of her house, she met Qin Jingru.

"Sister Hui, are you taking the kids to buy groceries?" Qin Jingru greeted enthusiastically, her eyes lighting up.

Chen Wenhui was not very familiar with Qin Jingru, but she responded politely: "Yes, you are out too?"

Qin Jingru was obviously waiting here on purpose. When she saw Chen Wenhui, she came forward and said warmly, "Sister Hui, you must be tired after carrying so many things. Let me help you carry them."

Chen Wenhui was a little surprised by her enthusiasm and quickly declined, "No, no need to trouble you."

"I'm strong, it's okay." Qin Jingru took the basket without saying a word and smiled attentively.

Chen Wenhui had no choice but to say, "Thank you then."

"We are sisters, why should we be polite?" Qin Jingru said with a smile, "I heard from my sister that you used to be from the same village as us?"

Chen Wenhui nodded: "Yes, but we don't live too close, there are several ditches between us."

She knew that Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu were once quite famous in the village. It was said that the sisters were both beautiful and wanted to move to the city and marry into a good family.

Today, when Chen Wenhui thinks back to her past, she feels that the inferiority and closedness she once had are no longer there.

Qin Jingru continued with a smile and said, "So, we are from the same hometown. You have to take care of me if I have any problems in the future."

Chen Wenhui smiled and nodded: "Well, just tell me what you want to say."

She was a little wary. Qin Jingru had never taken the initiative to approach her before, so why was she suddenly so enthusiastic today?

The two of them walked into the yard, and Qin Jingru followed them directly into the house.

After she entered the room, she couldn't help but look around. She saw that the house was very tidy, the cabinets were filled with various items, the furniture was complete, and life seemed very rich.

This made Qin Jingru feel envious, and she thought to herself that this was the kind of life she wanted.

Chen Wenhui took the basket and said with a smile: "I'll make you a cup of tea, please sit down for a while."

"Okay." Qin Jingru replied with a smile.

Chen Wenhui went into the kitchen to boil water, and occasionally glanced at Qin Jingru outside. She saw that she was looking around the house with curiosity and envy in her eyes.

After boiling the water, Chen Wenhui came out with the tea and handed it to Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru smelled the tea and sighed, "Sister Hui, you really married a good husband. Your family has everything they need. I really envy you."

Chen Wenhui smiled and replied, "Life was hard for us before, but it's a little better now."

"No matter how hard it is, it's not as hard as mine." Qin Jingru said pitifully, with a hint of self-pity in her eyes.

Chen Wenhui smiled faintly and did not continue the topic. She knew that everyone's suffering was different, so why tell others about it.

She changed the subject and asked tentatively, "You've been in the city for so long, have you found a suitable partner? I remember your sister introduced you to He Yuzhu, why didn't it work out?"

Qin Jingru curled her lips and said disdainfully: "I don't like that stupid big guy He Yuzhu."

"Then who do you like?" Chen Wenhui asked casually.

Qin Jingru was stunned and almost blurted out "Lu Qing", but she stopped in time. Her face changed slightly, and then she smiled and took Chen Wenhui's arm and said, "I'm still choosing. Marriage is an important matter and can't be taken lightly."

Chen Wenhui smiled and nodded: "That's right, we have to find a suitable one."

Qin Jingru said proudly: "I can't be worse than you."

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly, but felt that Qin Jingru's words were a little strange.

She seemed to be hinting at something, especially the sentence "can't be worse than you", which made her feel a little uneasy.

Qin Jingru realized that she had said too much and quickly added: "Sister Hui, don't misunderstand me, I just said it casually, I didn't mean anything else."

"It doesn't matter, this is what every girl wants, I understand." Chen Wenhui smiled softly.

But she was more certain in her heart that Qin Jingru must have other thoughts.

At this time, Qin Jingru noticed two children standing aside with eager expressions on their faces. She smiled and asked, "Little ones, what's wrong with you? Do you have anything to say?"

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "They want to go out and play."

"So that's how it is." Qin Jingru said with a smile, "I happen to have nothing to do today, why don't I take them out to play?"

Chen Wenhui's heart tightened, and she immediately refused: "No, they are too naughty, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you."

"It's okay, they are my nephews. There's no trouble in taking them out to play." Qin Jingru said with a smile, her enthusiasm making Chen Wenhui unable to refuse.

Although Qin Jingru didn't like taking care of children, she had to do so in order to get closer to Chen Wenhui.

Seeing the children's faces full of anticipation, Chen Wenhui had some concerns in her heart, but she finally agreed: "Then be careful when you go out to play, don't run around."

Qin Jingru smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Hui, I will take good care of them."
