Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Qin Jingru came to the city to marry Xu Damao. When she arrived at the gate of the Jia family's courtyard, Mrs. Jia scolded Qin Jingru in her face.

But Qin Jingru didn't dare to get angry. She came to ask for help, so she had to swallow her anger. After the matter was done, it would not be too late to come back and talk about what happened today. So, she said to Jia Pozi in a gentle manner: "Aunt, I was young and acted rashly. I was wrong. Where is my sister? I have something to ask her."

Mother Jia just wanted to scold her a few times, so she pointed to the inner room and said, "I'm breastfeeding my child at home. Last time, you almost made me lose my milk. You better be careful this time. If you really make my daughter-in-law lose her milk, I will never forgive you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not make my sister angry this time." Qin Jingru promised solemnly and then went into the inner room.

Qin Huairu had just fed Huaihua. Although the year was bad and the Jia family was poor, Qin Huairu's milk was indeed very good. After just a few days of breastfeeding, the premature Huaihua's face became rounder, her legs became thicker, and her whole body became pink and tender, not looking like a premature baby at all.

Qin Huairu, who was burping her baby, had already heard what Qin Jingru and Jia Po were saying, and then she asked, "What's going on?"

"Sister." Qin Jingru came forward and hugged Qin Huairu's arm and shook it, calling her coquettishly, but the next words surprised Qin Huairu, "I want to find Xu Damao, can you take me there?"

"Why are you looking for him?" Qin Huairu was extremely surprised and warned nervously: "He is not a good person."

Qin Jingru immediately defended her lover: "Who said that? I think Damao is a nice person. He is good-looking, has a rich family, is generous, and is interesting."

"He's a good man." Qin Huairu patted her forehead, and then patted Qin Jingru's head a few times, "I think you've lost your mind. Tell me, what happened?"

Qin Jingru had to tell her how she met Xu Damao after she came back to the courtyard, how Xu Damao took her to eat, play and buy things, and how Xu Damao went to Qinjiazhuang to show a movie and they made a vow to each other and planned to get married. But she didn't tell her about the relationship between them, because she still wanted to save some face.

Qin Huairu's heart was in turmoil, from sparkling waves to raging storms. She was annoyed with Qin Jingru and didn't want to care about her, but she also hated Xu Damao for ruining her plan. When she heard the two of them swearing to each other and preparing to get married, Qin Huairu looked carefully at Qin Jingru's eyebrows and forehead, and she hated him even more. Now there was no possibility of becoming a relative with Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu did not say anything bad about Xu Damao anymore. The two of them had been in close contact at a distance. If she said more, she would be acting like a petty person. Whether good or bad, it was all done by her, Qin Jingru. As a cousin, she could not care less.

Qin Huairu led Qin Jingru to knock on Xu Damao's door. Lou Xiaoe opened the door and asked in confusion: "Qin Huairu, what's the matter?"

Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e don't have much contact with each other. One comes from the countryside, and the other grew up in a wealthy family; one is not very educated, and the other is not very learned but well-read; one has to serve her mother-in-law, serve her husband, and take care of her children, and has very little free time; the other has no parents-in-law around her, no children, and her husband has to serve her, a capitalist daughter; the two have no common language, look down on each other, and have no time to get together.

"Lou Xiao'e, we're here to see Xu Damao. We have something to tell you. Is he at home?" Qin Huairu was quite confident because of what Qin Jingru had said about the pledge she had made with Xu Damao.

"I'm here, come in and talk." Lou Xiao'e invited the Qin sisters into the house to talk.

At this time, Xu Damao, who was in the house, happened to stick his head out and looked outside. When he saw Qin Jingru following closely behind Qin Huairu, he quickly rushed out to block the door, and said viciously: "A widow whose husband has died dares to come to someone else's house casually. Don't you know that this will bring bad luck to us?" As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Damao pulled Lou Xiao'e back into the house, and then slammed the door shut.

Facing Xu Damao's action, Qin Huairu was unusually calm, as if she had expected Xu Damao to do this. She said calmly to the closed door: "Xu Damao, if you are unwilling to come out and talk to me, then I will have to go to the three gentlemen in the yard to judge."

Before he finished speaking, the door was opened instantly, and Xu Damao appeared at the door with a flattering smile on his face, "Sister Qin, we can discuss something. It's better for us to go out and talk." Then he turned around and comforted Lou Xiao'e, "Ezi, Qin Huairu must have something very important to talk to me about. They are orphans and widows, which is very pitiful. We can't just sit back and do nothing." Lou Xiao'e didn't think too much about it. After listening to Xu Damao's explanation, she went back to the inner room with peace of mind to continue busying herself with her own things.

Xu Damao quickly pulled the Qin sisters to the pergola connecting the middle courtyard and the back yard, and asked them in a serious manner what was the matter.

Qin Jingru said anxiously: "Brother Damao, didn't you say you wanted to go home and divorce Lou Xiaoe and marry me?"

Xu Damao said in surprise: "Who are you? I don't know you. Why are you talking nonsense? How could I divorce my Ezi and marry someone I don't even know?"

"Xu Damao, how dare you say you don't know me? A few days ago, you stopped me outside the yard and told me that Shazhu was a fool. You also took me out to play and bought me clothes." Qin Jingru said while tugging at her collar, "Aren't these what you bought for me? Say it again, say it again..." She said it again twice and didn't dare to go on.

"Is it going to snow? I am more wronged than Dou E." Xu Damao fiercely retorted. "You are slandering me. I tell you, you cannot slander me."

"I didn't. Wuuuu..." Qin Jingru couldn't say anything deeper and could only cry in grievance.

"Don't think that just because I'm handsome and my family is rich, you want to marry me. It's impossible, absolutely impossible. My love for my daughter Ezi is stronger than gold. Don't dream on." After Xu Damao declared his love for his wife, he said to Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu, is there anything else? If not, I'll go back. Also, don't bring your crazy relative out to blackmail people."

When Xu Damao was called out of the house by Qin Huairu just now, it was because he suddenly saw Qin Jingru, and he was flustered and didn't think carefully. Now, after talking for a long time, he figured it out: Qin Jingru must be too embarrassed to tell the details. Even if she did, there would be no witnesses. This kind of thing must be caught in pairs. If you don't catch a pair, it's useless to admit it. In fact, it would be best if Qin Jingru didn't say anything, and then she would go on a blind date with Sha Zhu, and finally the two of them would get married, and Sha Zhu would become a green-skinned bastard. How great is that, and it makes me very happy just thinking about it.

The wish is beautiful, but the reality is that Sha Zhu just came back and saw the scene under the porch. Xu Damao looked indifferent, Qin Huairu looked angry, and an unknown girl (Qin Jingru) was crying sadly with her hands covering her mouth.

Two of the three people under the pergola also saw Sha Zhu. Xu Damao went from being indifferent to being nervous, Qin Huairu's face turned from angry to excited and relieved, and the unfamiliar girl (Qin Jingru) was still covering her mouth and crying sadly.
