Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Qin Jingru smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely go to my sister's house for dinner tonight."

Qin Yanru smiled and said, "Okay, your brother-in-law and I will wait for you at home in the evening." After that, Qin Yanru smiled at Qin Huairu and turned back to the house, ignoring the Jia family.

Seeing that Qin Yanru ignored her, Jia Zhang said sarcastically, "Now that she has climbed up the social ladder, she looks down on us, her poor relatives."

Qin Huairu saw this and quickly advised: "Okay, Mom, stop talking and let's go home."

When Qin Jingru saw this, she thought for a while. It seemed that it was not unreasonable for Sister Yanru not to be close to the Jia family. Who would want to be close to such a Jia Zhang?

While Qin Jingru was thinking, Xu Damao asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"

Qin Jingru came back to her senses and smiled: "I didn't think about anything, let's go."

After they left the yard, Qin Jingru asked, "Da Mao, is my sister's mother-in-law always so unreasonable?"

Although Xu Damao liked Qin Jingru, he didn't want her to get close to the Jia family, otherwise she would be sucked dry by the Jia family in the future. So he explained, "Jia Zhang is a well-known rogue in our courtyard. She is not only lazy and greedy, but also likes to take advantage of others. You must be careful not to let her get involved in the future, otherwise once you open a gap, it will be a dog-skin plaster that you can't get rid of."

Qin Jingru immediately understood why Qin Yanru didn't get close to Qin Huairu. With such a mother-in-law around, who would want to get close to her? So she asked, "Is it because of Jia Zhang that Sister Yanru doesn't get close to Sister Huairu?"

Xu Damao nodded and said, "That's right. Who doesn't have difficulties now? The Jia family keeps crying poor all day long, and no one can help them. Can't they hide away? Jingru, let me give you a warning. When you marry here, you won't have a fixed amount. I'm the only one in our family who has a fixed amount, and I can't help the Jia family."

Qin Jingru is not stupid, how could she starve herself to help others, even if it is her own sister, let alone a cousin, so she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter. If they really can't survive, we have to help them. After all, we are cousins. If they are greedy, I won't indulge them."

Xu Damao was very satisfied when he heard this, and thought to himself that Qin Huairu's little plan had failed, so he pulled Qin Jingru and walked out of the street.

West across the courtyard.

Lin Qingyan was holding Nuonuo and playing with him, while Lin Qingya asked curiously, "Brother Pingzi, do you think Qin Jingru and Xu Damao can succeed?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyan looked over curiously, wanting to hear Lin Ping's opinion.

Lin Ping smiled and said, "It should work. After all, Qin Jingru has been thinking about marrying into the city every day. Now that Xu Damao is willing to marry her, why wouldn't she marry him?"

Lin Qingyan asked, "But, Qin Yanru is also in the courtyard. How could she not know what kind of person Xu Damao is? She has a good temper. Would she watch Qin Jingru jump into the fire pit?"

Lin Qingya also said: "Just now I heard Qin Yanru wanted to invite Qin Jingru to dinner. I guess she wanted to remind her that Xu Damao is not a good match. Besides, Xu Damao has interfered with Sha Zhu's blind dates so many times. Sha Zhu can't just watch Xu Damao get married smoothly. But why do you say it can work?"

Lin Ping smiled and said, "You only know one side of the story. Qin Yanru and Sha Zhu did want to remind Qin Jingru, but don't you think about what era it is now? In the countryside, people can't even get enough food to eat, so how can they care about other things? Besides, Qin Jingru has wanted to move to the city since she was a child. Now that she has the opportunity, how can she give it up?"

Lin Qingyan was puzzled when she heard this and said, "Even if Qin Jingru wants to go to the city, she doesn't have to marry Xu Damao. Can't she still go to the city if she marries someone else?"

Lin Qingya also agreed: "Yes."

Lin Ping smiled and shook his head, explaining, "Think about it, food is scarce in the city now, who would be willing to marry a daughter-in-law? There are so many girls waiting to be married in the city, but no one dares to marry them. Isn't it because they are afraid of adding burden to the family? So Xu Damao is Qin Jingru's only hope to enter the city. Qin Jingru will never give up, even if Xu Damao is not a good match, she will not hesitate. It is better to marry badly than to starve. Don't you think this makes sense?"

Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingya suddenly understood what was said. Lin Qingya smiled and said, "It's true. Sha Zhu and Qin Yanru have worked in vain."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ping smiled and said, "Whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with us, so why think so much about it." As he said that, he took the girl from Lin Qingyan's hands and kissed her, making the little girl giggle.

Time passed quickly, and Xu Damao and Qin Jingru strolled around the city for an afternoon. Xu Damao originally wanted to treat Qin Jingru to a meal at Donglaishun, but Qin Jingru remembered that she had to go to Qin Yanru's house for dinner, so she refused.

In the evening, Qin Jingru returned to the courtyard, first went to the Jia family to say hello, and then went to Qin Yanru's house.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu and curled her lips and said, "Your sister is really a piece of shit. She didn't even bother to invite you to dinner."

Qin Huairu sighed when she heard this: "Yanru's family is not rich, how can they have so much food to treat guests? You should say less, after all, they are also helping our family."

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "Who can eat the little food Shazhu gave? Pah."

Qin Huairu had no choice but to pick up Xiao Huaihua and go to the inner room, so that she wouldn't have to see her and be bothered by her.

Silly Zhu family.

When Qin Jingru came to the main room, Sha Zhu had already prepared the meal. Although there was no meat, the portions were large and filling.

Qin Yanru let Qin Jingru into the house and said with a smile: "Jingru, my family is not rich, so I don't have anything to treat you. Please don't be offended."

Qin Jingru didn't mind. In her opinion, being full was good enough. So she smiled and said, "Sister Yanru, please stop saying that. It's good enough to be full now."

Qin Yanru pushed Qin Jingru down on the chair and said with a smile: "Don't think we don't have any meat, but your brother-in-law's cooking skills are amazing, come and try it."

Sha Zhu also smiled and said, "Yes, Jingru, try your brother-in-law's cooking and see if it suits your taste."

Qin Jingru picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in her mouth. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "It's delicious. You are so lucky to marry a brother-in-law who has such good cooking skills. You will have a good life in the future."

Sha Zhu was praised and raised his head, saying, "That's right, your skills in this area are not as good as mine."

Qin Yanru rolled her eyes at Sha Zhu and said with a smile, "See what you can do."

Halfway through the meal, Sha Zhu winked at Qin Yanru, who understood and looked at Qin Jingru and said, "Jingru, what did my third sister tell you about Xu Damao?"

Qin Jingru was startled when she heard this. She was not stupid. She knew that Qin Yanru had something to say, and it was not a good thing. So she put down her chopsticks and said, "Sister Yanru, we grew up together. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Qin Yanru sighed and said, "Jingru, I shouldn't have said this, but I feel unhappy if I don't say it. This Xu Damao..."

After Qin Jingru heard what Qin Yanru said, she also knew about Xu Damao's past. She sighed and said, "Sister Yanru, I know what you want to say, but if I want to go to the city, I can only marry Xu Damao."

Seeing that Qin Jingru still wanted to marry Xu Damao, Qin Yanru couldn't help but said unhappily: "Jingru, Xu Damao is not a good person. He is still unclear with my third sister. You should think it over carefully. Once you get married, it will be too late to regret it."

Sha Zhu also chimed in, "That's right, Jingru, listen to your brother-in-law. Don't marry Xu Damao. You just want to move to the city. When the time comes, your brother-in-law will introduce you to someone from the city, and you can still move to the city."

Qin Jingru shook her head and said, "Brother-in-law, you said you would introduce me to a girl, but when? You know I can't wait at my age. Besides, I know from the matchmaker that there is a food shortage in the city and no one wants to marry at this time. If I get married, my family can also reduce some of the burden. So I have no choice, unless I accept my fate and marry in another village, but I don't want to accept my fate."

Sha Zhu felt embarrassed when he heard this. Where could he find a man for Qin Jingru? Ma Hua was suitable, but Ma Hua's family was even poorer. He could not even feed himself, so how could he have the mind to get married? So he remained silent.

Qin Yanru sighed and said, "It's your own business, you make your own decision. I've said everything I need to say. Xu Damao is not a good match. Think about it carefully."

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet. The meal was not very pleasant, so Qin Jingru returned to the Jia family after the meal.

After Qin Jingru left, Shazhu looked at Qin Yanru and said hesitantly, "How about I ask Pingzi to see if he can help Jingru find a temporary job in the city?"

Qin Yanru shook her head and said, "Forget it. Brother Pingzi has arranged a job for me because of Yu Shui. We can't ask for more."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu sighed and stopped talking.

Jia family.

Qin Jingru returned to Jia's house. When she went to bed at night, Qin Huairu asked, "Jingru, do you like Xu Damao? If you do, get the marriage certificate as soon as possible."

Qin Jingru was silent for a while and then nodded and said, "Sister, I am willing to marry you."

The next morning.

After Lin Ping finished washing up, he went to work at the police station. When he went out, he ran into Xu Damao, who said proudly, "Pingzi, just wait for my wedding candy."

Hearing this, Lin Ping clasped his fists and said, "Then I would like to congratulate Damao first."

Xu Damao laughed and said, "You're welcome. When I get married, I will definitely treat your family to a good meal."

After saying this, he glanced smugly at Sha Zhu, who had a bad look on his face, then pushed the cart out of the courtyard.

Silly Zhu spat on the ground and said, "Bah, grandson, don't be so proud. Wait and see how Master Zhu will deal with you in the future."

Qin Jingru returned to Qinjia Village early, waiting for Xu Damao to come and propose marriage.

Afternoon, Zhengyangmen Bistro.

As soon as Xu Huizhen opened the door, she saw Lin Ping walking in. Her eyes suddenly lit up. She knew that Lin Ping was no ordinary person. Not to mention dealing with Fan Jinyou, even Cai Quanwu's food was not something that ordinary people could get.

So he greeted her warmly and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Pingzi? What brings you here?"

After that, he invited Lin Ping to sit down, and then served him some side dishes and wine, saying, "Pingzi, I haven't thanked you for helping me get food last time."

Lin Ping was not surprised. With Xu Huizhen's intelligence, she would definitely guess that she was the one who got the food. She smiled and said, "It's just a small favor, Sister Huizhen, please don't be polite."

Xu Huizhen said seriously, "That's not right. Without your help, I and my daughter Jingli would have to go hungry. So thank you is only right. If you have anything to ask, just tell me. I will never refuse to help you if I can."

As he spoke, he raised his glass to drink with Lin Ping. Lin Ping put down his glass and said with a smile: "Sister Huizhen, I came to you this time because I really need your help."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Pingzi, you go ahead."
