Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Qin Huairu led Qin Jingru into the alley.

In an instant, many people's eyes were focused on the two sisters.

"Qin Huairu, who is this?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "This is my cousin from my maternal family. She came to visit me."

"You're so pretty, what's your name?"

"Her name is Qin Jingru."

"Just from your name, I can tell you're sisters. No wonder you're so beautiful," the talkative one said.

Those with good memories will always feel that the name Qin Jingru is familiar.

Just before Qin Huairu was about to leave, they finally remembered.

"Qin Huairu, is this the person you're going to introduce to Wu Tiezhu?"

She's almost thirty, but she looks like a twenty-year-old girl.

Upon hearing this, the others also remembered, and their gazes toward Qin Jingru became inquisitive.

Qin Jingru was immediately displeased upon hearing this. She had come to the city to find a partner.

She's perfectly fine, but people are saying she's almost thirty. How is she going to find a partner?

"Ma'am, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm only twenty-two years old. How can I be almost thirty?"

"Twenty-two years old?"

People on the street gasped in surprise.

There was nothing they could do; ten years ago, Qin Huairu had introduced a potential partner to Wu Tiezhu. They never imagined that Qin Huairu would introduce a ten-year-old girl.

Qin Huairu looked embarrassed: "You've got it wrong. I didn't introduce her to Tiezhu. It was someone else."

I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll head back now.

Qin Huairu dragged the bewildered Qin Jingru away from there.

"Sis, you still haven't told me what happened."

Since Qin Huairu couldn't explain, she could only use her bloodline advantage as the older sister to suppress Qin Huairu.

Qin Jingru was still hoping that Qin Huairu would introduce him to a potential partner, and not daring to offend her, he stopped asking.

There's a saying that goes, "You can hide from the first day of the month, but you can't hide from the fifteenth."

Upon entering the courtyard, Qin Huairu was stopped again by the three older women: "Qin Huairu, who is following behind you?"

Qin Huairu had never felt such hatred for the three older women before.

"Auntie, this is my cousin, Jingru."

The third aunt's main purpose was to find out what was in Qin Jingru's bag.

She didn't care what Qin Jingru's name was.

"Your younger sister from your family has come to visit you. What did she bring? Let me see."

Qin Jingru, being rather naive, was about to introduce the three aunties.

Qin Huairu isn't stupid. She's always the one taking advantage of others, never the other way around.

How could she let those three aunties deceive you?

"Just some things grown in the fields. I'll take Jingru home first."

Qin Huairu pulled Qin Jingru away, not giving the third aunt a chance to take advantage of her.

The three women immediately felt dissatisfied: "He's just a poor relative, what's so great about him?"

"Whose poor relative?"

The third aunt was someone who couldn't keep secrets, so she told everyone.

Soon, everyone in the courtyard knew that Qin Huairu's family had come again.

Remembering the treatment Qin Huairu's father received when he last came, everyone wondered when this Jingru would be kicked out by Jia Zhangshi.

They're going to be disappointed.

The last time Qin Huairu's father came, he came empty-handed, clearly intending to freeload.

Not to mention that Madam Jia was unhappy, even Qin Huairu herself might not be happy.

This time was different; Qin Jingru brought quite a lot of things. They might not seem very valuable, but they could feed the Jia family for a long time.

The way Jia Zhangshi looked at her was kind.

"I heard your family introduced you to a few potential partners. How did it go?"

Qin Jingru said, "It's over."

"It's over? What brings you here this time?"

Qin Jingru said with a hint of shyness, "Auntie, the reason I came here this time is to ask my sister to introduce me to a guy from the city."

Madam Jia began to have doubts. Although it was only the first time she had met Qin Jingru, she had already used Qin Jingru to scheme against her quite a bit.

She understood perfectly well Qin Jingru's value. If used well, her family could have another free workhorse.

She also felt sorry that all the residents of the courtyard with the best conditions were already married.

The Jia family didn't want the remaining few.

Jia Zhangshi took the things away and let Qin Huairu and her sister talk.

Qin Huairu was also troubled.

She frequently used Qin Jingru's name to scheme against people in the hospital.

Now that Qin Jingru has appeared, she doesn't know how to explain herself.

Qin Jingru sat next to Qin Huairu, gazing at her expectantly.

Seeing that she didn't speak, I became anxious.

"Sis, have you decided who to introduce to me?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at her: "What's your rush? I have to think this over carefully for you, so you don't marry the wrong person."

Qin Jingru immediately became obedient.

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and decided to get rid of her as soon as possible.

"Stay at my place for today, and go back tomorrow. I'll let you know when I have news."

Qin Jingru was visiting the capital for the first time and was unwilling to return.

"It's so boring at home, playing cards and fighting rich peasants every day. Sister, can you let me stay here for a couple of days?"

Qin Huairu saw that she wasn't going back and didn't know what to do. Qin Jingru came to see her with some things, but after she accepted the things, she kicked Qin Jingru out. How could she ever go back to her parents' home again?

"I'm telling you, I have to go to work and I don't have time to deal with you."

Qin Jingru smiled foolishly: "You don't need to worry about me. Just let me stay at your house for a few days."

I won't stay for free; I can help you clean the house and do housework.

When Qin Huairu heard that Qin Jingru wouldn't stay for free, she thought Qin Jingru would pay for her accommodation.

Who would have thought that I would be helping her with housework?

"alright."

Qin Jingru didn't understand the reluctance in Qin Huairu's words, so she obediently sat to the side.

After sitting for a while, I wanted to go to the toilet.

Qin Huairu was too lazy to take care of her and said to her, "Didn't I tell you on the way here?"
You can go by yourself.

Qin Jingru smiled and left the room.

Only then did Madam Jia speak: "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Huai sighed, "She asked me to introduce her to someone. Where am I supposed to find a suitable partner for her?"

As widows, they knew each other very well.

Qin Huairu was afraid that Qin Jingru would marry well and outshine her.

After thinking for a moment, Madam Jia said, "Aren't there a few unmarried people in our courtyard?"
Introduce Jingru to them.

Qin Huairu counted on her fingers and said, "There are only three suitable men in the hospital: Liu Guangtian, Yan Jiefang, and Miao Jianye."

Whether it's Liu Guangtian or Yan Jiefang, Jingru marrying them means we don't benefit from it.

“And then there’s Miao Jianye,” Jia Zhangshi said.

Qin Huairu said, "He's no good either. The old man may not say it, but he secretly wishes Miao Jianye would die immediately."

"If I introduce him to Miao Jianye, wouldn't that offend that old man?"

Jia Zhangshi wouldn't consider that. She's done plenty of things that have offended Yi Zhonghai.

What she was considering was whether she could use Qin Jingru to gain benefits for her family.

In her opinion, Miao Jianye was a good choice.

First of all, the two families lived close by, which gave the Jia family an advantage.

Secondly, the older woman had money in her hand, 1,500 yuan, which was enough for her family to live a good life.

"What's there to be afraid of? Yi Zhonghai is now relying on our family to serve him, so he wouldn't dare to turn against us."

Jingru will be able to take care of our family after she marries Miao Jianye.

I think this marriage is a good match.

Qin Huairu thought for a moment, but still couldn't make up her mind. Although she had mentioned Qin Jingru to Miao Jianye, she wasn't sincere.

That was all just to keep Miao Jianye hanging.

She couldn't bear to refuse.

Ultimately, Qin Huairu's primary concern was still the Jia family. It's not that Yi Zhonghai lacked influence, but rather, it's a matter of who Yi Zhonghai was compared to. (End of Chapter)
