The life of a villain in a courtyard

After dinner, Qin Jingru strolled in the yard. Many people in the yard noticed this country girl.

"Hey, have you seen Qin Huairu's cousin?"

"I saw her. She is so fair and clean, and looks so pretty. She doesn't look like a rural person who works all year round at all."

"Who said she wasn't? Besides, I think this girl is young and probably hasn't gotten married yet. Isn't your third child already old enough to get married? Why don't you go ask her?"

"Forget it. My son is a regular worker. If he wants to find someone, he has to find someone from the city. She is from the countryside and doesn't even have food supply. Besides, any child she has will have to be registered in the countryside. If you like, you can go ask. It happens that your second son is eighteen or nineteen this year and it's time for him to get married. He doesn't have a formal job anyway, so he's a good match for her."

"Your son deserves it!"

The two started arguing as they were talking, and the people around them hurriedly pulled them apart.

Qin Jingru looked around in the yard and somehow came to the backyard.

"Brother Su."

Qin Jingru saw Su Yun who was eating in the house and ran in to greet him.

Looking at the white flour buns with scrambled eggs and peppers with fried pork in front of Su Yun, her mouth was watering. The most unbearable thing was that the dog named Loach beside Su Yun also ate the same food. The dog ate better than what she ate at the Jia family! What kind of life did the Jia family live?

"Why, you didn't eat?"

Seeing Qin Jingru staring at the food on the table, Su Yun thought that the Jia family didn't care about his meals.

"No, I've eaten."

Qin Jingru swallowed and refused.

"Well, do you want to eat more?"

Qin Jingru kept staring at Su Yun and he couldn't eat.

"Okay."

Qin Jingru really couldn't help it. It just so happened that she hadn't eaten enough at Jia's house just now. There were only a few steamed buns and many of them were snatched away by Jia Zhang and Banggeng. She only ate half of her food.

After eating a steamed bun, Qin Jingru burped loudly.

"Sorry, Brother Su Yun."

"It's okay. Are you full? If not, have another one."

As he spoke, he picked up another steamed bun and handed it to Qin Jingru. Looking at the way she ate just now, Su Yun doubted whether Qin Jingru had eaten at Jia's house.

"No, I'm really full."

Qin Jingru waved her hands hurriedly: "Burp, burp."

Su Yun poured her a glass of water. She had choked because she was too anxious while eating.

"Brother Su Yun, what do you think my sister's family is like? I went to her house today and found that it is completely different from what she said when she went back to the countryside. Life in the city is not much better than my life in the countryside."

"It's not that life in the city is bad, it's that the Jia family is having a bad time. Or maybe your sister didn't know how to judge people and met the wrong person. She married a husband who didn't want to make progress and had a mother-in-law who was lazy and gluttonous. If her father hadn't reserved a job for the Jia family, I'm afraid her family would have starved to death long ago."

"Ah! My sister is having such a miserable time in the city."

Su Yun nodded. If Qin Huairu had not turned into a vampire later, he would still have felt quite sympathetic towards this woman.

After dinner, Qin Jingru found a place in the yard to sit down and think about everything she had experienced. Originally, she wanted to marry into the city and live a good life as a city dweller like her sister, but now it seems that this is not so good.

"Slow down."

In the yard, Lou Xiao'e supported Xu Damao and walked slowly towards the backyard.

"Hey, isn't this Xu Damao? Why do you need someone to support you? If you're not well, just stay in the hospital for two more days. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Someone saw Xu Damao coming back and came up to greet him.

"That's what I told him, but he insisted on being discharged from the hospital and refused to listen to my advice."

"Old Liu, let me ask you something. What happened to the Jia family? I just passed by their house and they had a mourning hall set up inside."

Lou Xiao'e hadn't been home during this period and had been living at her parents' house, so she had no idea what was going on.

"Hey, don't mention it, Jia Dongxu is dead!"

"what!"

Lou Xiao'e was shocked. She found it hard to accept that the person who was so full of life a while ago was suddenly gone.

"He died before he was 30, leaving behind a family of orphans and widows. How pitiful."

"Alright, alright, what's so pitiful about their family? If it weren't for them, would I have stayed in the hospital for such a long time?"

Whenever Xu Damao heard the word "Jia", he felt uncomfortable all over and his ribs ached slightly.

"You asked for it, so take this as a lesson and don't cause trouble everywhere in the future."

"Hey."

Xu Damao got so angry that his injured part was affected, and he gasped in pain.

Lou Xiao'e didn't bother to argue with him and hurried over to support Xu Damao.

"Okay, your injury hasn't healed yet, go back to the house and lie down."

"Who threw the stone? You have no eyes!"

As soon as he entered the backyard, a stone flew from a distance and hit Xu Damao's leg, making him so angry that he cursed in the yard.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see it, I hope I didn't hurt you."

Qin Jingru quickly ran over to apologize to Xu Damao. She was thinking about something in the yard and pulled out some flowers and plants and threw them around. She also picked up a stone and threw it, which happened to hit Xu Damao.

When Xu Damao saw that it was a strange pretty girl, his anger immediately dissipated.

"Girl, who are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"My name is Qin Jingru, I am Qin Huairu's cousin, and I came to the city to visit my sister."

"Hello, cousin, hello, cousin."

Xu Damao didn't expect that Qin Huairu actually had such a beautiful cousin. It seems that Qinjia Village is full of beauties. He will definitely go and see it when he goes to the countryside to show a movie next time.

Seeing Xu Damao laughing in a sly way, Lou Xiao'e instantly became angry. She grabbed Xu Damao's ear and twisted it hard, causing him to scream in pain.

"Let go, it hurts so much!"

"It hurts!"

Lou Xiao'e pinched Xu Damao's ears hard and pulled him back home.

In the following days, because the Jia family did not cause any trouble, the yard remained calm until the day of Jia Dongxu's funeral. Although everyone did not have a good relationship with the Jia family, now that something had happened, each family still contributed manpower and effort to help bury Jia Dongxu.

"Silly, are you ready?"

According to the rules of the Siheyuan, weddings and funerals should have several tables set up in the courtyard to invite everyone to dinner.

"Uncle, come here for a moment."

Sha Zhu pulled Yi Zhonghai over and showed him what the Jia family had prepared.

"Look at what these are, uncle. How can you invite people to dinner and have these?"

There were white radishes, cabbages, a pile of pickles and a bag of corn flour in the kitchen.

"I can't cook this dish. If people see it, they will think I'm stupid and my cooking skills are not good enough."

"Silly Zhu, come back. How can you quit at this time? What did I always tell you? We are neighbors, and neighbors should help each other. What's more, today is Dongxu's funeral! How can you just quit your job?"

After scolding Shazhu Yi Zhonghai hurried back to find Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, what is going on?"

"Uncle, this is not my fault. It's all my mother-in-law's fault. She controls all the money in the family. What can I do?"

As they were talking, the funeral procession had already returned. Yi Zhonghai simply didn't care about it anymore. Jia Dongxu had already lost all his years of investment and he didn't want to invest anything in it anymore.
