Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Cao Yue tried hard to hold back his laughter and said in surprise:

"Brother Zhu, I'm very happy that you wish me a happy new year, but you don't have to be so polite. Look, I can't let you kowtow in vain. This is your lucky money."

Sha Zhu looked at the penny stuffed into his hand, his face turned pale and blue, and suddenly he realized that he was still kneeling, so he quickly climbed up by holding on to the door sill.

"You...I...you..."

Sha Zhu stared at Cao Yue, his expression changing like a Sichuan opera character, and finally he turned around and left angrily.

After leaving the Moon Gate, he realized that he was still holding the "New Year's money" in his hand, and he threw it into the sky with all his might in anger.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Banggeng ran away in shame with his two sisters.

……

After Cao Yue had finished his breakfast, Yan Bugui came over in frustration and proposed to hold a meeting of the entire institute to criticize Sha Zhu.

He lost a dollar early in the morning and was so heartbroken that he couldn't eat breakfast.

Unfortunately it backfired.

At the whole hospital meeting, Yan Bugui was no match for Sha Zhu. Not only did he fail to get his money back, but he was also filled with anger.

In the evening, Qin Huairu returned from her hometown alone.

"What about Jingru? Has she changed her mind again?" Jia Zhang asked casually.

"She will come again tomorrow and we will come back together. Who will buy the ticket?" Qin Huairu poured a glass of water and sat on the stool.

"Of course she paid for the work." Jia Zhang said as a matter of course.

"Who said it wasn't true? But she was stingy. She made up an excuse and told me to come back first. She would pack up and come over tomorrow by car."

There was also dissatisfaction in Qin Huairu's tone.

"What a thing! You're taking the trouble to introduce her to someone, but I think even if she marries a fool, we won't get any benefit." Jia Zhang scolded.

Qin Huairu sighed deliberately: "What can I do? It's better than being an outsider."

"Mom, didn't Uncle Sha give you the money for the train ticket?" Xiao Dang said suddenly.

Qin Huairu's face immediately changed: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? When did your stupid uncle give me money?"

Xiao Dang was scolded and argued in a low voice: "Silly uncle said it himself."

"Okay, Qin Huairu, you dare to hide your private money."

Jia Zhang was angry: "Did you take the money back to your parents' home?"

Qin Huairu looked aggrieved:

"Mom, I didn't. Shazhu gave me two dollars, but in order to bring Jingru here smoothly, I bought some things for Jingru's parents."

Jia Zhang naturally didn't believe it, so Qin Huairu quickly changed the subject and shouted to the three children:

"Come here, you guys have done a great job. Just now the people in the hospital asked me for money. Isn't it shameful?"

"Take out the money. Mom will keep it for you first and return it to you when you grow up."

"what?"

Banggeng and Xiaodang looked dejected.

……

The next day, Qin Jingru arrived at the courtyard early.

"Sister, is He Yuzhu really not stupid?" Qin Jingru asked worriedly.

Qin Huairu said: "I have told you many times that Shazhu is not stupid. If he were stupid, how could he be a chef?"

Then Qin Huairu told her mother-in-law the origin of the nickname Shazhu.

Qin Jingru was relieved and asked again: "How much salary does he get per month?"

"Thirty-seven dollars and a half."

"It's only thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents."

Qin Huairu thought Qin Jingru would be surprised, but she shook her head in disappointment:

"He is far inferior to Section Chief Cao in your hospital."

Qin Huairu was completely speechless.

Cousin, this is the fate of a maid and the heart of the queen.

Thirty-seven dollars is not even worth my attention!

In the countryside, you only earn six or seven work points a day. How much can that be converted into money?

Although Jia Zhang also came from the countryside, it did not prevent her from despising Qin Jingru, a country girl.

At this time, Qin Huairu saw the door curtain being lifted and then lowered, and knew that it must be Sha Zhu standing outside eavesdropping.

"Jingru, thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents is not a small amount. Zhuzi is the only one in the family, and his only sister works as an accountant in a cotton mill. He can never spend all the money by himself."

"That's right. There are five people in our family, and your cousin only makes 27.5 yuan a month, but she still lives a good life." Jia Zhang interrupted.

After hearing this, Qin Jingru gradually became moved.

Compared with those families in the countryside who are proposing marriage, Sha Zhu's conditions are the best.

She certainly knew how to make the choice.

……

Qin Huairu was washing clothes absentmindedly, glancing towards the backyard from time to time.

After a while, Xu Damao came out riding his bicycle.

Qin Huairu quickly pretended to have finished washing the clothes, and went home with the wash basin with a smile on her face.

"Sister Qin, what good news makes you so happy?" Xu Damao said with a sly grin.

Qin Huairu saw Xu Damao taking the bait, so she stopped and said with a smile:

"Of course it's a happy event. My cousin has found a husband. She will live in the same courtyard with me from now on. Tell me, am I happy?"

"Your cousin? Qin Jingru?" Xu Damao's face darkened.

Qin Huairu smiled at Xu Damao, turned and left.

"Sister Qin, Sister Qin..."

Xu Damao wanted to ask more clearly, but Qin Huairu had already returned home.

Xu Damao felt like he was being scratched by a cat. He didn't even bother to go out. He listened carefully and, sure enough, he heard the sound of women laughing in Sha Zhu's room.

Xu Damao parked his bicycle and secretly came to the outside of Sha Zhu's house. He heard Sha Zhu telling Qin Jingru about various cuisines. Qin Jingru was stunned and felt impressed.

"This idiot is not stupid at all! He knows how to chat with women."

Xu Damao felt upset and secretly thought that he must ruin Sha Zhu's marriage.

……

Qin Jingru left the compound happily. After talking with Sha Zhu, she found that Sha Zhu was not stupid at all, but smarter than most people.

On the way to the toilet, Xu Damao saw Qin Jingru finally coming out, and pretended to meet her by chance and greeted her:

"Hey, isn't this Qin Jingru?"

"Who are you?" Qin Jingru forgot who Xu Damao was for a moment.

Xu Damao was about to remind him when he suddenly saw Cao Yue passing by with a pretty girl on the back seat of his bicycle.

He turned around quickly, feeling guilty.

Qin Jingru didn't remember Xu Damao, but always remembered Cao Yue.

His gaze turned to the pretty girl in the back seat. She was obviously a city girl and lowered her head in a somewhat inferior manner.

"Brother Yue, you live here!"

Zhou Xiaobai looked around curiously.

Compared to the compound where she lived, this place was much more messy, as if they were two different worlds.

Cao Yue touched her head and said with a smile: "There's nothing to see here, why did you insist on coming?"

As he spoke, Cao Yue looked back at the place where Xu Damao and Qin Jingru had been just now, but the two were no longer there.

……

"Let me go, what are you doing? I want to shout for help."

Qin Jingru was pulled aside by Xu Damao, feeling anxious and angry.

"Sister, please don't shout. I have something important to tell you."

Xu Damao was startled and quickly raised his hands to show that he was harmless.

If Qin Jingru shouted out those two words, he would definitely be beaten up by the enthusiastic crowd and then taken to the police station.

Qin Jingru stared at Xu Damao warily and asked suspiciously:

"Why are you so nervous when you see Section Chief Cao? My sister told me that he is the deputy section chief of the security department, specializing in catching bad guys. Have you done anything wrong?"

"Oh, my dear sister, I am wrongly accused for doing good things. I am afraid that Chief Cao will go back to the hospital and tell Sha Zhu that I am with you. If Sha Zhu knows that I told you the truth, your cousin and Sha Zhu, the adulterous couple, will beat me to death."

"Adulterer and adulteress??"

Qin Jingru was stunned.
