Siheyuan: The wife pays off the husband's debt, Huairu's mentality collapses

Xiaoyue nodded and the two continued walking forward.

Xiaoyue looked up at Sumu, her eyes flashing with gratitude and reluctance.

"Brother Su, I'll go home first." Her voice was soft, with a barely perceptible hint of shyness.

Su Mu smiled slightly, his eyes fell gently on Xiaoyue, as if he could see through every subtle fluctuation in her heart.

"Okay, go back quickly so that your family won't worry." He nodded slightly, watched Xiaoyue turn around, and slowly walked towards the direction of the Yi family.

It was not until Xiaoyue's figure disappeared at the entrance of the alley that Sumu withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked into his own courtyard.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

Not far away, a pair of eyes were quietly watching everything that had just happened. It was Qin Jingru.

She was busy at the supply and marketing cooperative, but she was always thinking about Sumu, so she decided to use her free time in the morning to find him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I witnessed Su Mu and Xiao Yue bidding farewell intimately.

Qin Jingru's heart sank suddenly, and a feeling of inexplicable grievance and uneasiness surged in her heart.

She recalled everything between her and Su Mu, the convenience and care he brought her, the care and consideration in the subtle details, but now all of this seemed to be shattered because of the appearance of another person.

"Could it be that Su Mu really has fallen in love with someone else?" Qin Jingru frowned, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew very well that she relied on certain "privileges" granted by Su Mu, whether it was a little help in life or spiritual comfort, it was difficult for her to give up.

Thinking of this, Qin Jingru could no longer suppress her emotions. She mustered up her courage and walked straight to Su Mu's house.

After looking around and making sure no one was paying attention, she knocked on the door gently.

Su Mu was about to enter the house when he heard a knock on the door and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

He opened the door and saw Qin Jingru standing outside. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Jingru? Why are you here? Come in first."

Qin Jingru forced a smile and walked into the house.

Sumu closed the door, turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Jingru? Is there anything urgent?"

Qin Jingru took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Brother Su, I just saw you and Xiaoyue coming back together...you..." Her voice trembled slightly, revealing her inner grievance and uneasiness.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu instantly understood what Qin Jingru meant.

I didn't expect that she saw it.

Qin Jingru's words stopped abruptly, tears welling up in her eyes.

She tried hard not to let them fall, her voice choked with sobs:

"Brother Su, my sister and I love you wholeheartedly. How could you...how could you let the two of us......"

She couldn't continue, and her tears finally burst out and slid down her cheeks.

Seeing this, Su Mu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Jingru, since ancient times, men in ancient times could have three wives and four concubines. Although monogamy is emphasized in this era."

"But you also know that men want as much as possible, but the position of you and your sister in my heart has not changed."

Besides, which man would complain about having too many women?

Tears welled up in Qin Jingru's eyes, and she tried hard to control her emotions and not let them completely collapse.

Seeing this, Su Mu felt a ripple in his heart. He realized that his words might have inadvertently touched Qin Jingru's sensitive nerves.

He sighed softly, walked to Qin Jingru, and said in a gentle and profound tone: "Jingru, I know what you are thinking."

"But please believe me, I have never had such thoughts, and I have never thought of hurting either of you sisters."

Su Mu paused, as if looking for the most appropriate words to express his meaning: "In fact, everyone has their own desires and pursuits, and men are no exception."

“But true maturity does not lie in how much you have, but in cherishing the person in front of you and understanding and respecting his or her feelings.”

He patted Qin Jingru's shoulder gently and continued, "Jingru, you are a good girl, smart, kind, and strong. You should understand that happiness is not achieved through comparison and competition, but requires joint efforts from both parties to manage and maintain."

As Qin Jingru listened to Su Mu's words, the grievance in her heart was gradually replaced by a warm feeling.

She raised her head and looked at Su Mu with tears in her eyes, as if she saw sincerity and determination in his eyes.

"Brother Su..." She choked up and said, "I am too narrow-minded. I always wanted to monopolize your kindness, but I forgot that love requires tolerance and understanding."

She took a deep breath and continued, "You are right. As long as two people truly love and respect each other, nothing is impossible."

"As for Xiaoyue, if she is really someone worthy of your cherishment, I will do my best to accept her."

When Su Mu heard this, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He knew that Qin Jingru had walked out of the narrow-mindedness in her heart and began to learn to look at the world and feelings with a broader and more tolerant attitude.

"Jingru, I'm really glad you think this way." He said gently, "Remember, no matter what the future holds, you will always have a place in my heart."

Qin Jingru nodded, and tears finally fell, but this time, they were tears of relief and growth.

The atmosphere between Su Mu and Qin Jingru became extremely ambiguous at that moment, and the eye contact between the two seemed to light up the entire room.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Qin Jingru shyly put her clothes in order with a slight blush on her face.

She said goodbye quietly and left the Su family in a hurry, as if she was afraid that someone would discover this unknown secret.

Su Mu stood at the door, watching Qin Jingru go away, feeling a little reluctant and uncertain about the future.

However, this tranquility did not last long, as a sudden conversation broke the silence.

"Director Wang, this Su Mu is too arrogant! He has no respect for his elders, which is really unbearable." Yan Bugui's voice came from outside the courtyard with a bit of dissatisfaction and complaints.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu frowned slightly, secretly wondering what Yan Bugui meant.

Then, Director Wang's familiar and majestic voice sounded: "Yan Bugui, you need to have evidence when you speak. I know Su Mu better than you do. He is not the kind of person who will offend others easily."

Yan Bugui didn't seem to be planning to give up easily. He continued, "Director Wang, listen to me. Last time, I helped Su Mu pay a deposit of 1000 yuan. I thought he would be very grateful and pay me back as soon as possible."

"But who would have thought that this guy would turn his back on me and not even mention paying me back. I'm really broke now, so I had no choice but to ask you for help."

Director Wang's face darkened when she heard this. She didn't expect Yan Bugui to say such a thing.
