Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

As soon as Qin Huairu led Qin Jingru into the yard, everyone in the yard immediately stared at Qin Jingru.

A few lively middle-aged women immediately started asking, "Hey, Bang Geng, where did you get such a beautiful girl?"

"Yeah, this pretty girl looks a bit like you, could she be your sister?"

Qin Huairu smiled slightly and said, "Second Aunt, you really have good taste. This is my sister, the daughter of my third uncle, named Qin Jingru."

"Oh, that's what I said, how come this girl looks so much like you and is as pretty as you. By the way, does such a pretty girl have a husband?" When the second aunt saw that Qin Jingru was fair and pretty, she had an idea in her mind. She wanted to introduce her to her son Liu Guangtian as a daughter-in-law.

But Qin Huairu immediately saw through her intention and said with a smile: "Second Aunt, don't worry about it. Although I don't have a boyfriend yet, I already have a boyfriend. I promised Zhuzi to introduce Jingru to them."

As soon as she said she wanted to introduce Qin Jingru to Sha Zhu, the aunties in the yard suddenly fell silent and their eyes flickered.

The second aunt was also stunned: "Is it really introduced to Sha Zhu?"

Qin Huairu asked her back: "What else? Second Aunt, what do you mean by this?"

The second aunt smiled awkwardly and said, "Nothing, nothing, it's fine, it's fine." Then she looked at Qin Jingru again, smiled and walked away.

The others also had ambiguous expressions.

Qin Jingru was a little curious, and couldn't wait to ask her when she got back to the house with her: "Sister, what exactly is the Zhuzi you told me about? Why do those aunts look at him like that? Also, why did the second aunt call him Sha Zhu? Is he a fool? If he is a fool, I won't marry him. Although I want to marry a city person, I can't marry a fool."

Qin Huairu said, "Pah! Who said Zhuzi is stupid? Zhuzi is the chef of the canteen of the steel mill. How can a fool be a chef? I tell you, Zhuzi is not stupid at all. He only earns more than 30 yuan a month and has no parents. If you two succeed, then you will be able to enjoy life. Can you spend more than 30 yuan a month? Isn't it a hundred times better than digging dirt with men in the countryside?"

Qin Jingru was surprised and said, "Really? You said Zhuzi can really earn more than 30 yuan a month?"

Qin Huairu said, "Of course it's true. Go ask around and see if the salary for a third-level cook is 35.5 yuan. Zhuzi is a third-level cook and he's the best chef in the steel mill."

Qin Jingru was happy now: "Then I feel relieved. You scared me just now. I really thought you were introducing me to a fool."

Qin Huairu said: "There are people in this courtyard who are malicious and always think about ruining other people's good deeds. You can't just listen to other people's gossip. I'm your sister, how can I cheat you?"

Qin Jingru said: "Sister, I know you are good to me. If this thing succeeds, I will definitely remember your kindness."

Qin Huairu said: "Is this true or false?"

Qin Jingru said: "Of course it's true, sister, don't you believe me?"

Qin Huairu said: "I believe you, then tell me, if this thing succeeds, how will you remember my kindness and how will you repay me?"

Qin Jingru said: "Sister, if Zhuzi and I are successful, we will live in the same courtyard. I will listen to whatever you say and do whatever you ask me to do."

Qin Huairu said: "What else?"

Qin Jingru said, "I and Zhuzi will prepare a generous gift for you during the holidays, okay?"

Qin Huairu saw that she hadn't gotten to the point yet, and she became anxious: "That's it? That's all?"

Qin Jingru thought for a long time, thinking, isn't it enough for me to prepare a generous gift for you every year? What else is missing? Finally, she said helplessly: "Sister, tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it."

Qin Huairu had no choice but to speak up herself: "Jingru, let me put it this way. I've told you Zhuzi's conditions. He's a chef at a steel mill, and he has no parents to burden him. He only has a younger sister who's not too young. Once she finishes school and gets married, she won't be a burden at all. With a salary of more than 30 yuan a month, you two can never spend it all. Many people are eyeing this condition."

"Sister, I know, tell me."

"Why should I introduce him to you? It's because we are sisters. I can't let such a good man be given to others. What about you? If this works out, you have to remember my kindness. You see my current situation. Your brother-in-law is gone, and I have to take care of two children by myself. The third child is about to be born. How can a woman like me support them?" Qin Huairu said while observing Qin Jingru's reaction.

Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment: "Sister, what you mean is..."

Qin Huairu simply got straight to the point: "What I mean is that if you two are together, you two should remember my kindness. You are in good condition, so you should think about helping me."

Having said this, she stopped and looked at Qin Jingru, meaning that she was waiting for Qin Jingru to express her opinion.

Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment, and then she asked carefully, "Sister, what do you mean by 'helping'?"

Qin Huairu said, "Jingru, it all depends on your heart. If you really want to, you can buy some meat for Banggeng after Zhuzi gets his salary. You know Banggeng loves meat, and he's a boy with a big appetite. How can I, your sister, afford to feed him meat?"

Qin Jingru's eyes widened, thinking, if you are not well off, then just don't eat meat! So if I marry this Zhuzi, will I have to take care of your family's meat for the rest of their lives?

I thought this was impossible, but Qin Jingru was not stupid and she had her own plans.

Although he was not willing to help Qin Huairu as she asked, he also understood that he needed this cousin right now. No matter how unwilling he was, he could not say it openly and could only coax her first.

If I really marry Zhuzi, who will really help you?

In that case, Zhuzi would really become a fool, and I would become a fool!

So, Qin Jingru was smiling in her heart, "Sister, don't worry about this. Am I the kind of ungrateful person? You introduced such a good man to me, how can I burn the bridge after crossing the river? Don't worry, if Zhuzi and I get together, don't even mention Banggeng eating meat. Zhuzi and I will take care of the meat for your whole family!"

Qin Huairu was very satisfied with Qin Jingru's answer: "Okay, Jingru, I feel relieved if you say so. I know you are a conscientious person. When Zhuzi comes back from get off work later, I will introduce you to each other. Then you will know that Zhuzi will definitely satisfy you in every aspect."
