Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Why, isn't it enough to eat some of your food?"

"Who told you not to do it for me before?"

When Jia Zhang was eating, she was thinking about eating it back.

"Mom, next time, you better not come to eat."

Qin Huairu had the same idea as Sha Zhu.

This dish is meant to be eaten slowly while chatting.

We were having a good chat that day, but the food was gone and we couldn't continue the chat.

......

"Sister Jingru!"

When Qin Jingru came out of the bathroom, she heard shouting.

There should be few people in this courtyard who know her.

This made Qin Jingru a little curious, and she turned around and saw that it was Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was smoking in the corner not far away.

"Brother Damao, you called me?"

Qin Jingru also looked around and it seemed that there was no one around.

"Yes, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Damao vomited two eye circles.

"wait for me?"

Qin Jingru was a little confused.

"Yes."

"I just don't want you to fall into the fire pit of stupid Zhu."

"Besides, it's not a good idea to just go to your house and find you, thinking that you will definitely come out to use the bathroom."

Xu Damao threw the cigarette butt away with a smile.

"Silly Pillar?"

"Are you talking about He Yuzhu?"

Qin Jingru looked puzzled.

"Yes!"

"By the way, let me take you to eat roast duck."

"Let's eat and talk."

Xu Damao felt that roast duck was absolutely fatal to a country girl.

Even in this old city, it is impossible for most people to eat Peking duck.

Because everyone is reluctant to spend that money.

Not to mention the people in the village.

However, it doesn’t mean that these people don’t like eating roast duck.

On the contrary, most people like it.

"Okay!"

Qin Jingru agreed almost without hesitation.

There's no way, I'm still hungry.

"Let's go, ride our bikes!"

Xu Damao turned and entered another alley, where a bicycle was parked.

"You still have a bicycle?"

As a country girl, Qin Jingru has seen many flatbed carts, but a bicycle is something better.

What they dreamed of.

"Yes, I have."

"Next time you come, I'll take you around the entire city."

"By the way, when will you be back?"

"If there is enough time, I will take you out to play tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Xu Damao asked Qin Jingru to sit on the back seat and rode out.

"We don't know yet."

Qin Jingru really didn't know when she would return.

Originally, I just wanted to take a look at what Shazhu was like.

If possible, I will integrate myself into the courtyard house, but if not, and I don’t like it at first sight, then forget it.

"Then I'll take a day off tomorrow and take you out to play."

Xu Damao felt that this was a matter that should be struck while the iron was hot.

Since the intention is to seize Sha Zhu's wife, there is no time to give Sha Zhu time to react.

"Okay!"

"By the way, you just said He Yuzhu is Shazhu, what does that mean?"

Qin Jingru agreed readily.

"Didn't your sister Qin Huairu tell you about Sha Zhu?"

Xu Damao turned around and Qin Jingru shook her head.

"Haha, He Yuzhu's nickname is Shazhu."

"In our courtyard and in the Red Star Steel Mill, most people call him Shazhu."

"It's because this silly pig did something a little silly."

Seeing that Qin Jingru seemed quite interested in this topic, Xu Damao continued talking.

"You can think about this silly Zhu. He has been a chef for more than ten years."

"Normally speaking, his salary is not low, and he must have saved some money over the years."

"But the fact is that he has almost no money."

"Do you know where his money went?"

After Xu Damao said this, the bicycle just happened to arrive next to the roast duck restaurant.

Xu Damao parked his bicycle and walked inside with Qin Jingru.

"Where did that stupid Zhu's money go?"

Qin Jingru is also interested in this topic now.

"The Jia family, that is, your sister Qin Huairu's family."

"Before Jia Dongxu died, it was Jia Dongxu who earned the salary and supported the whole family."

"You also know that your sister's mother-in-law is quite greedy. She wants to eat something delicious every now and then."

"Of course, Jia Dongxu paid for this."

"It's the same at their home, they don't have much savings."

"If I really have a headache or a fever, I don't have any money."

"All this money was borrowed from Sha Zhu."

"Borrowing money is something we often see, but the people from the Jia family never pay back the money they borrow from Sha Zhu."

"Just like what Qin Huairu's mother-in-law said, if you borrowed it with your own ability, why should you pay it back?"

Xu Damao said these words while ordering the roast duck. Qin Jingru listened with great interest and basically believed what Xu Damao said.

After all, he had just witnessed Jia Zhang's greedy nature.

While they were chatting, Jia Zhang had eaten all the meat and vegetables on the table.

"You mean, Shazhu lent all the money he saved over the years to my sister's family?"

Qin Jingru found it a little unbelievable.

"Of course not. Even if you don't pay back the money you borrowed, it's only a few hundred dollars at most."

"But after Jia Dongxu died, Sha Zhu helped the Jia family a lot."

"Not only did he buy rice, noodles, meat, etc. for them, but the Jia family had a leader, and Sha Zhu was in charge when they were hospitalized."

"I can only say that Shazhu took the initiative to spend this money on others. It can't even be considered a loan."

"In the past few years since Jia Dongxu died, the Jia family has been supported by Sha Zhu."

"Isn't that stupid?"

"I guess, no matter when this idiot gets married, he will still be sucked dry."

Xu Damao tore off a duck leg for Qin Jingru.

"No wonder, I feel like my sister and her mother-in-law seem to be very familiar with Sha Zhu's family."

"It turns out there is another reason."

Qin Jingru took a bite and it was so greasy and fragrant.

"There's another reason that you'd never dream of."

Xu Damao took out his handkerchief and helped Qin Jingru wipe the corners of her mouth.

Such an action made Qin Jingru blush.

"What's the reason?"

Qin Jingru was naturally very curious.

"Haha, this silly Zhu is married!"

Xu Damao smiled.

"Ah, then my sister said that Shazhu has never properly found a partner."

Qin Jingru was confused again.

"It's true that they haven't found a partner. They just want to get married directly."

"I went to bed at night and went to get the certificate early the next morning."

"I heard that a leader of the subdistrict office became a stutterer because of their marriage registration."

Xu Damao also observed a moment of silence for Liu Neng.
