Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

"Yeah, I know it's impossible." Yan Bugui sighed, "But I just don't understand why he is so persistent?"

"Forget it, leave him alone." Auntie Three advised, "Just think of him as a useless effort."

Yan Bugui nodded, but he had made a decision in his heart. He planned to keep the gift and return it to Sha Zhu with an excuse later. After all, he couldn't just watch Sha Zhu jump into the fire pit.

At this time, Sha Zhu was still dreaming. He imagined the scene of a blind date with Teacher Ran, and imagined the two of them walking hand in hand on the path of the courtyard, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Da Mao, we are finally married." Qin Jingru's voice was full of anticipation and joy.

Xu Damao nodded, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "Yes, Jingru, we will be husband and wife from now on."

Although the process of getting the marriage certificate was a bit cumbersome, they both completed it successfully. Qin Jingru only needed to get an identity certificate at Street 10 because she had a rural household registration, while Xu Damao got a marriage certificate at his workplace. Now, they are legally married.

Qin Jingru began to fantasize about her life as a city dweller. She imagined holding a lively wedding banquet in the yard and inviting relatives and friends to witness their happiness.

"Da Mao, should we hold a wedding banquet?" Qin Jingru asked tentatively.

Xu Damao frowned and shook his head, "Wedding banquet? That's such a waste of money. We just got married and there are still many things we need to spend money on."

Qin Jingru was a little disappointed, but she still tried to persuade Xu Damao: "But this is our happy event, we should celebrate it."

Xu Damao's expression suddenly became stern: "Jingru, you must remember that you are my wife now and you must listen to me. I don't want you to get too close to Qin Huairu's family, and I don't want you to secretly help them."

Qin Jingru was shocked by Xu Damao's words. She didn't expect Xu Damao to make this request so directly.

She asked cautiously, "Da Mao, do you have any misunderstandings about Qin Huairu's family?"

Xu Damao snorted coldly: "Misunderstanding? Just look at Sha Zhu and you will know. He ended up like this because he was too close to Qin Huairu's family."

Qin Jingru's heart tightened, she knew Xu Damao was telling the truth. Sha Zhu was an honest man in the courtyard, but because he often helped Qin Huairu's family, he was eventually dragged down by them and lost everything. She didn't want to follow Sha Zhu's old path.

"Da Mao, I know you are doing this for my own good." Qin Jingru whispered, "I will listen to you and not get too close to Qin Huairu's family."

Xu Damao nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you have to remember what you said. Now, you have to stay at home and take care of your baby, and don't think about those messy things."

Qin Jingru gently stroked her belly, her heart filled with anticipation and the tenderness of maternal love. She knew that she was about to welcome a new life, and this life would become the most precious bond between her and Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was one of the few sensible people in the courtyard. Although he would tease Qin Huairu from time to time, he never thought of helping her. He knew that getting too close to Qin Huairu's family would only bring trouble and burden to himself.

"Xu Damao, come out!" Sha Zhu stood up and walked towards the backyard aggressively. He was sure that Xu Damao must be behind the scenes, making Qin Jingru afraid to show up.

The door of Xu Damao's house creaked open, Xu Damao stuck his head out, and was stunned when he saw Sha Zhu's angry look.

"Shazhu, what's wrong with you?" Xu Damao asked calmly.

"You are still pretending! Where is Qin Jingru? Why doesn't she come to see me?" Sha Zhu pointed at Xu Damao's nose and asked loudly.

Xu Damao smiled and explained, "Shazhu, Qin Jingru and I have known each other for a long time. After we divorced, she chose me. There was nothing I could do about it."

"You're talking nonsense! It was obviously me who fell in love with Qin Jingru first!" Sha Zhu shouted unwillingly.

The two of them kept circling around the dining table in the living room, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Sha Zhu clenched his fists tightly, as if he would swing at Xu Damao at any time.

At this moment, Qin Jingru pushed the door open and walked in. She saw the two people arguing and couldn't help but frowning.

"What are you doing? If you have something to say, please talk it over nicely." Qin Jingru stepped forward and tried to calm the two men's anger.

"Qin Jingru, why are you hiding from me?" Sha Zhu asked.

Qin Jingru sighed and explained: "Silly Zhu, let me tell you the truth. When I saw you that day, I felt that we were not suitable. Besides, I think you and Qin Huairu are more suitable."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was secretly delighted. But he still pretended to be angry and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I got so angry for nothing."

Xu Damao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He knew that Qin Jingru's words had calmed Sha Zhu's anger to a large extent.

However, the quarrel between the two had alarmed the residents of the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and other three uncles in charge came one after another, wanting to know what happened.

"Shazhu, what's wrong with you? Why did you quarrel with Xu Damao?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

When Sha Zhu saw the three managers were all here, he calmed down and explained, "It's nothing serious, just a little misunderstanding with Xu Damao."

Yi Zhonghai glared at Sha Zhu and scolded him, "Sha Zhu, you are a well-known honest man in our courtyard. Why are you so impulsive today? What if you really hurt Xu Damao?"

Sha Zhu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, Uncle Yi, I'm just joking. I won't really do it."

The three managers didn't say anything more after hearing what Sha Zhu said. They knew that although Sha Zhu was straightforward, he was kind-hearted and would not do anything excessive.

Although the incident was temporarily settled, Sha Zhu was still somewhat dissatisfied. He felt that Qin Jingru's disappearance had made him lose face in the courtyard. However, he also knew that he couldn't dwell on this matter. After all, life had to go on.

Xu Damao and Qin Jingru also realized that they needed to be more cautious in their behavior in the courtyard. They did not want to affect the harmonious atmosphere of the entire courtyard because of their private affairs.

"Xu Damao, you are so glorious today!" Sha Zhu staggered to Xu Damao and said loudly. His voice was particularly harsh in the festive wedding.

Yi Zhonghai, the "big uncle" in the courtyard, rushed forward and tried to calm the disturbance.
