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

"Jingru, where have you been? Why did you come back just now without telling me?"

Seeing that Qin Jingru seemed to be in a good mood, Qin Huairu became even more certain that she had gone out to play with Xu Damao and was definitely not lost on her own.

"what!"

"I just went out to play for a while and walked around the city."

"I ran a bit far and just came back now."

"I'm going back to bed first."

Qin Jingru said this and walked towards Yi Bufan's house.

"Jingru, have you eaten yet?"

"I cooked a table full of dishes, all of which are meat dishes that you like."

“And I made dumplings.”

"Come back and eat something."

Sha Zhu naturally noticed this situation.

But he still spoke to Qin Jingru with a smile.

"I'll eat...okay!"

Qin Jingru originally wanted to say that she had already eaten, but then she thought that if she came back now and said that she had already eaten, she would definitely be asked who she had eaten with and what she had eaten.

After thinking about it, I decided to just go back and deal with it casually. After all, Qin Huairu is stuck in the middle.

If the opportunity is right, I can explain it to Shazhu.

"Come, come back and sit with your sister first. I'll heat up the dishes."

"I didn't know you came back so late. This dish was already ready at around 7 o'clock."

Sha Zhu quickly moved aside to let Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu in, and turned around to heat up the food.

"Just heat up one or two dishes. I'm not too hungry. I'm a little tired after running around all day."

Qin Jingru's stomach is still full now.

"Why don't we just cook some dumplings and eat a few? It's troublesome to keep reheating the dish."

Qin Huairu was relatively close to Qin Jingru and could smell the scent of roast duck from the tone of Qin Jingru's voice.

Just think about it and you will know that this girl went to eat roast duck again.

You are really lucky.

I have been in this city for many years, and I have only eaten this roast duck once or twice at most, and those were the leftovers brought back by Jia Dongxu.

I didn’t expect that Qin Jingru had eaten here twice in just two days.

"It's okay, just heat them up and eat as much as you can."

Sha Zhu was busying himself with a smile, and asked, "Where did you go today? I was waiting for you at home early in the morning, and when I went to Yi Bufan's house around 10 o'clock, I found that you were gone."

"Zhu Zi took a special leave today and planned to take you to visit the city, but you said you were leaving without telling me."

"Didn't we make an appointment yesterday?"

Qin Huairu naturally had to speak up for Sha Zhu and blame Qin Jingru at the same time.

"In fact, I just wanted to go to the bathroom at first, and I happened to see some neighbors going out to play, so I followed them."

Qin Jingru naturally wouldn't say that she waited with great difficulty until she didn't see Sha Zhu at the door before going there.

This is naturally also Xu Damao's masterpiece.

"It's okay. Where did you go today? Let's go somewhere else tomorrow."

"There are many fun places in Sijiu City that are not accessible to ordinary people."

Sha Zhu was very skilled and soon heated up all the dishes.

"I didn't visit many places. I went to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and..."

Qin Jingru mentioned seven or eight places in a short while.

They went to these places from morning to noon and then in the afternoon. They later went to the cinema and came back after having dinner.

"You've been traveling a lot today."

"How dare you run like this alone? Aren't you afraid of getting lost?"

Sha Zhu smiled and handed Qin Jingru a bowl, and picked up some dishes for her.

"That's right, how can you go there alone?"

“You are not familiar with the neighbors outside.”

"If something happens, how am I going to explain it to your parents?"

Qin Huairu naturally had to curse a few words.

"I'm an adult now, nothing can happen to me, it's okay."

Qin Jingru responded with a smile.

"Then Jingru, how about we discuss when to go to your house? I want to propose to your parents."

Now that things have come to this, Shazhu will just go straight to the point.

"Ah! A marriage proposal!"

"Why don't you wait any longer."

Qin Jingru didn't know how to refuse Sha Zhu.

It’s too direct. I’m afraid Xu Damao can’t handle it.

"That's okay too!"

Sha Zhu glanced at Qin Huairu.

"I'll cook some dumplings first and bring some to Bang Geng and the others. They haven't eaten yet."

Qin Huairu stood up with a smile, also wanting to give the two of them some time alone.

Let’s see if Sha Zhu can make Qin Jingru change her mind.

"Maybe your sister has told you that I was married before, and the person I married was your sister's mother-in-law."

Sha Zhu also knew about this, and Qin Jingru already understood it.

It would definitely be better if you explain it yourself.

But now we can only say that it was Qin Huairu who said it, otherwise it would seem that they guessed it was Xu Damao.

Originally, Sha Zhu had not intended to tell these things, but now that Xu Damao had exposed them, he had to confess his side.

"Yes, my sister said so."

"That's your private matter!"

Qin Jingru didn't expect that Sha Zhu would say it on his own initiative.

"Although it is my personal matter, I still need to make it clear."

"The reason why this happened before was also helpless."

"I was framed. I just took a nap and your sister's mother-in-law was by my side."

"If I don't marry her, this will become a big deal and I'll lose my job."

"I divorced her not long after."

Sha Zhu also explained the situation clearly. If someone else were in his place, they would probably make the same choice.

"Yeah, my sister said that too."

"But, I heard that you got married again later. It seemed like it was the second or third day after your divorce."

"When this happens in our place, it's usually because the couple doesn't want to get divorced and they still have feelings for each other."

Qin Jingru was also very curious when she heard this. She wanted to know what Sha Zhu himself would say about this matter.

"No, I was forced to do that."

Sha Zhu only cursed Xu Damao in his heart. It would have been enough to just mention the matter. Why did he have to explain it in such detail?

“It was forced again.”

"It's ok to be forced for the first time, but to be forced again, you are really... amazing!"

Qin Jingru really wanted to say that it was really stupid, but she changed her words temporarily.

"It was just a misunderstanding at the time. The neighbors saw us. We have to get married!"

Shazhu didn't feel embarrassed, but he felt a little regretful.

"Oh!"

Qin Jingru simply responded, turned around and found that Qin Huairu was gone. There was a plate of hot dumplings on the cabinet next to her.

"Come on, eat quickly. If you're not hungry, eat less."

Sha Zhu said this while picking up some food for Qin Jingru.

"Well, your cooking skills are really good. These dishes taste very good."

Qin Jingru also praised sincerely.
