The life of a villain in a courtyard

"Jingru! Why are you here?"

Qin Huairu was very surprised to see Jingru. Why did she come here?

"Sister, I missed you so I came to the city to see you. Your yard is so big, just like the place where the princes and nobles live in the picture books."

"Don't talk nonsense. We are all workers."

"I'm sorry I was just kidding."

Qin Jingru hurriedly apologized to Qin Huairu and looked around. She was relieved to see that no one heard her.

"Who is this Qin Huairu?"

Second Aunt came in from outside carrying a bag of vegetables.

"Second Aunt, this is my sister."

"Your sister, she's so pretty, how old is she now?"

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Jingru. She had a pretty face and a good figure. She looked like someone who could give birth to a son. His second son was almost of marriageable age, so why not introduce her to his son?

The second aunt was so absorbed in her imagination that she even thought of a name for her grandson.

"Sister, why are the people in your yard so strange? Why is she looking at me like that?"

Qin Jingru looked at the second aunt with vigilance in her eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Qin Huairu scolded Qin Jingru and then came to the second aunt.

"Second Aunt? Second Aunt?"

"what?"

Qin Huairu walked forward and pushed the second aunt to wake her up from her fantasy.

"Second Aunt, what's wrong with you? Why are you still standing there in a daze?"

"Oh, I was just thinking about things at home and was a little absent-minded."

The second aunt returned home and hurriedly called the second uncle.

"What are you so anxious about?"

Liu Haizhong has been worrying about his eldest son recently. The Wei family has said that their daughter is not young anymore, and if they cannot find a formal job for their son within three months, the marriage will be aborted. The Wei family's move is to force Liu Haizhong to agree to let Liu Guangqi marry into the family.

"Old man, Qin Huairu's cousin is here."

"If you're here, then you're here. Who doesn't have a relative?"

"What I mean is, do you think Qin Huairu's cousin and our son can get along?"

Liu Haizhong glared at the second aunt and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Qin Huairu is from the countryside, and her relatives must also be from the countryside. How could our Guangqi marry a rural woman? Mothers all hope that their sons will have a good marriage, but you choose the bad one."

After saying that, he turned around and went back into the house to continue worrying.

"I'm not talking about Guangtian and Guangfu."

Unfortunately, the second uncle had already left the house and didn't hear what the second aunt said.

"Qin Huairu, who is this?"

Jia Zhang was burning paper for Jia Dongxu when she saw Qin Huairu leading a strange woman into the room.

"Mom, this is my cousin Qin Jingru. She heard something happened at home and came all the way from the country to see me."

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Jingru with disdain and then pulled Qin Huairu aside.

"Qin Huairu, why did your poor relative come to our house? Our Jia family has a fixed amount of food every month, but we don't have any extra food for her to eat. If you don't want to have insufficient food this month, send her back quickly."

"Don't worry, mom. I know."

While the two were plotting how to send her away, Qin Jingru was also looking around the Jia family. This was different from what Qin Huairu had said when she returned to Qinjia Village during the Chinese New Year. The house was small, shabby, and poorly lit.

"Sister, is this the only room in your house?"

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you say your family had three houses when you came back to the village last time?"

"Forehead…"

The last time I went home, Su Yun hadn't come yet, and the Jia family had already regarded the two houses of the Su family as their own.

"Originally there were three rooms, but later someone moved into the yard, the one in the backyard named Su Yun, and took over the house."

"How could he do such a thing? Sister, do you have any misunderstandings about him? How could Purchasing Su do such a thing?"

Qin Jingru looks quite cute with her angry expression.

"Why, do you know Su Yun?"

"Yes, he brought me here to see you this time."

"I'm telling you, he's not a good person. He has no sympathy at all. Stay away from him in the future."

Qin Jingru scratched her head, not knowing who was real and who was fake.

"Banggeng Xiaodang, this is your aunt. I saw her when I took you to my grandma's house in the countryside. Do you remember her?"

"Auntie."

Xiaodang hid behind Qin Huairu and called out timidly, while Banggeng just nodded and went out to play.

Banggeng looked down on his country relatives and was always resistant when Qin Huairu wanted to take him to the countryside to visit his grandparents.

"You must be Xiaodang, you are so cute, come to your aunt."

Xiaodang glanced at Qin Huairu and saw her nod, then slowly walked over as if she was very scared.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaodang. I'm your aunt."

Xiaodang quickly fell under Qin Jingru's gentle offensive, and the two of them had a lot of fun playing together.

"Do you know Uncle Su from Xiaodang's backyard?"

"Yes, Uncle Su is very nice. Last time when Xiaodang was hungry, he gave Xiaodang something to eat."

Hearing this, Qin Jingru looked back at Qin Huairu. She felt that Qin Huairu had changed. When they were in the village, the two sisters could talk about anything and had a good relationship. Why did she start lying to her a few years after she got married?

In the evening, Qin Huairu held a basin containing two white flour buns and several steamed corn breads.

"Jingru, it's time to eat!"

"coming."

She hadn't eaten lunch and was extremely hungry, but when she came to the table, she found steamed cornbread, cornmeal porridge, and pickled vegetables. Apart from the steamed buns, this meal was no different from what she had eaten in the countryside.

When Banggeng and Jia Zhang saw the steamed buns, they took one each without saying a word, leaving a pile of steamed buns for the others. Qin Jingru had no enjoyment at all during the meal, and she didn't even feel full.
