Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

45

Although helping Sha Zhu find meat was a great favor, Yang Jun would not go to the extent of giving away a whole side of pork for free.

Otherwise...haha, even brothers wouldn't do this.

"Junzi, I will accept your kindness without hesitation. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then put the money in his arms. He knew that Yang Jun was not the kind of person who would haggle over small details.

Sha Zhu was so busy every day that he hardly ever set foot in a restaurant. Now he was busy preparing for the wedding banquet and buying ingredients, so he really didn't have time to thank Yang Jun in detail.

After a few brief greetings, he hurried off to instruct the people in the courtyard to decorate the new house.

When Yang Jun was about to return to the inner courtyard, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a little girl with twin ponytails and wearing a floral cotton coat standing at the door of Qin Huairu's house.

The girl had a pretty face, probably about thirteen or fourteen years old. At this moment, her pair of pure big eyes were staring straight at Yang Jun, and her hands were stroking the corner of her clothes nervously.

Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, realizing that the girl in front of him looked familiar. Then he recalled and confirmed her identity - she was Qin Huairu's cousin Qin Jingru.

---

[Qin Jingru's arrival was probably what Qin Huairu had expected. Given Jia Zhang's harsh and sarcastic character, she would never agree to add an extra seat at the table for no reason.

Probably because she heard that Chi Zhu was going to get married, Qin Huairu called Qin Jingru back from the village, hoping to make a last attempt to keep Chi Zhu.

Yang Jun feels that Chi Zhu is only one step away from getting married, and does not want Qin Huairu to ruin his plan at the last minute.

After a brief silence, he walked towards Qin Jingru.

"You are Comrade Qin Jingru, right?"

Qin Jingru blushed immediately and said shyly in a low voice: "Officer Yang, how do you know my name is Qin Jingru?"

"Your cousin often brags in the yard that she has a cousin who is both beautiful and smart, and others have no choice but to know.

" Yang Jun smiled slightly.

"Hey, do you know me?" Yang Jun was surprised.

Qin Jingru's face turned even redder, and her childish look made her even more adorable, which made Yang Jun's heart moved and he developed a desire to possess her.

However, he quickly shook his head to get rid of this ridiculous idea.

This is human nature, curiosity at work, and has nothing to do with Yang Jun's devotion.

“My…cousin said that you are the most powerful person in this courtyard.

"Qin Jingru hesitated nervously.

Yang Jun narrowed his eyes and smiled and continued: "Are you still telling me that I should keep my distance from me?"

"Hey? How did you know?" Qin Jingru stepped back in shock, staring at Yang Jun with clear eyes.

Yang Jun smiled and continued, “I know your cousin’s mother-in-law also said bad things about me in front of you.

"

Qin Jingru had a look of disbelief on her face, her eyes wide open with fear in them.

Yang Jun took a step forward and stared at her: "I know the purpose of your coming to the city this time. Your cousin wants to introduce you to Chi Zhu, right?"

The series of questions left Qin Jingru at a loss for a moment. After she recovered, she looked at Yang Jun with a hint of respect in her eyes.

"Officer Yang, what you know is so strange. My sister said you are the most capable person in this courtyard, and it turns out to be true.

"

There was a gleam of admiration in Qin Jingru's eyes, and she admired the man in front of her even more.

"Actually I don't want to marry him, and he's getting married soon. But you still insist on introducing me to him. What's the point?" Qin Jingru's eyes were filled with tears when she said this, and she looked very aggrieved.

“I don’t want to marry a fool, old, ugly, and dirty, even worse than Murakami’s fool.

Qin Jingru said, her face full of disgust.

Hearing this, Yang Jun almost laughed out loud.

Thinking about Chizhu's image, it's no wonder that Qin Jingru doesn't like him. He wears greasy clothes and messy hair all day long. He's not young anymore, and this look makes him look much older.

Chi Zhu has a city hukou and works as a chef in a steel factory. He earns 37.5 yuan a month and has his own house in the city.

Under these conditions, it is not difficult to find a partner in the countryside.

Nowadays, what rural girls long for is to marry city people, escape from farm work, and live a happy life eating commercial grain.

Even so, Qin Jingru was still unwilling to submit to someone like Chizhu.

Although the woman in front of me was wearing neat but slightly old new clothes, there was still an obvious patch on the collar.

No matter how new her clothes were, this woman could not hide her rural flavor. In the eyes of city people, she seemed unspeakably humble and lacked self-esteem.

Qin Jingru was also an unfortunate girl. She first served as a tool for Qin Huairu to suck blood, was deceived by her cousin to enter the city, and then was seduced by the philandering Xu Damao.

After that, she had to pretend to be pregnant and eventually went through a divorce. She rarely had a peaceful day in her life.

"Did you meet Xu Damao when you went to the bathroom this afternoon?"

Hearing this, Qin Jingru was slightly stunned, but quickly accepted the reality.

After all, Yang Jun gave her too many surprises today. Everything happened as if she had seen it with her own eyes, and even the details were described so accurately.

"Xu Damao said Shazhu is not a good person and has always had an unclear relationship with my sister. I don't want to marry such a guy.

"

Yang Jun lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and narrated quietly.

"I know Xu Damao took you to Donglaishun to taste mutton hotpot and gave you a new set of clothes, but you were afraid that your sister would find out, so you didn't dare tell her."

Qin Jingru was already accustomed to Yang Jun's awareness and knew that he was omnipotent, so she could only nod in agreement.

"Xu Damao is already a family man, don't get too close to him, otherwise you will be ruined by him forever.

"

Yang Jun was not trying to scare people out of nothing. He knew about Qin Jingru's tragic ending from a TV drama. Now, seeing this scene, he decided to intervene and help this little girl with a rough fate.

"Brother Yang...what should I do now?"

When Qin Jingru heard Yang Jun's suggestion, she was panicked for a moment and believed his words without a doubt.

Deep down, I know that getting involved with a married man will not end well.

However, Xu Damao was generous and magnanimous, and he would say sweet words to her, which made it difficult for her to control herself from time to time.

"If you really want to find a good home, I can help you find a suitable partner in the city, who is also a cadre.

"

This was not just a casual remark, because in an instant, Yang Jun thought of the fact that Li Gangjing was still single. With Qin Jingru's beautiful appearance, it was impossible for Li Gangjing to remain indifferent.

For successful people, the criteria for choosing a partner are not necessarily limited to someone who can help their career or is of equal status. Every man is happy to choose a young and beautiful country girl.

Over the years, Yang Jun knew very well that the introverted old man Li Gangjing would never refuse Qin Jingru.

"Brother Yang, do you really think so?"

Hearing this, Qin Jingru excitedly grabbed Yang Jun's arm, but then realized that she was being rude and quickly took a step back.

Yang Jun was about to respond when he suddenly saw Qin Huairu quickly appear from behind the door of his house. She walked slowly and gracefully, gently stroked Qin Jingru's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Oh, my silly sister, can you discount Brother Yang's words? Why don't you come and thank him?"

When Yang Jun saw Qin Huairu's happy expression, he immediately realized that she must have been hiding outside the door and listening for a long time.

Otherwise, based on her personality, she would never let Qin Jingru talk to a stranger for so long.

"Thank you, Brother Yang.

"

Qin Jingru bowed to him happily.

Yang Jun waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Don't rush home for now. Stay at your sister's house for two more days. I will arrange time for them to come and meet you.

"

"Thank you so much. My family will cook some delicious dishes to entertain you and your friends.

"

Qin Huairu was very happy, as if the person being talked about was her, Qin Huairu, and not Qin Jingru.

(Living in the same compound, she witnessed Yang Jun's rocket-like promotion, watching him buy a new house, a car, and even his own four-wheel drive car.

She was clearly aware that she and Yang Jun were in different worlds, and she couldn't get entangled with him like she did before with Sha Zhu.

Now, Yang Jun took the initiative to introduce Qin Jinru to a man in the city, who is an official. This is a great blessing for her.

At least, based on the memory of Qin Jinru's introduction to them, she would give them a little help out of gratitude.

...

The next morning, Yang Jun woke up to find that the yard was more lively than usual. Because many children were on winter vacation, and Sha Zhu was getting married today, the children in the yard were playing wildly and the whole place was in chaos.

Fourth Uncle got up early, which was unusual for him. He gathered a large group of people in front of Sha Zhu's house, led by children from his own and other courtyards.

Uncle Yang naturally became the leader of the children. They gathered around her, and even Bang Geng, who had always been at odds with her, followed behind.

Seeing that Banggeng's eyes were swollen and his face was covered with scratches, obviously he had been beaten, Yang Jun was satisfied and realized that his plan had worked.

In fact, he never gave much back to his fourth uncle, just gave her an extra five yuan pocket money every month.

And this pocket money is enough to buy firecrackers and snacks and win the friendship of friends.

The guys who gathered around Bang Geng quickly changed sides and turned to support Uncle Yang.

Finally, at the call of Uncle Yang, Banggeng happily ate a meal of steamed bread and fried pork with bamboo shoots.

If they had encountered this situation in the past, Jia Zhang and Qin Guiru would definitely have asked Banggeng to go and make a scene to demand compensation, but after that general meeting, they became timid and cowardly, staying at home all day to twist hemp ropes to avoid the outside world.

Sha Zhu is holding his wedding today, Ma Hua and Liu Lan are here with their colleagues from the restaurant to support him.

Sha Zhu had become the deputy director of the canteen and had the authority to mobilize restaurant resources. It happened that day was the last working day of the steel plant and there were very few people dining there, so the director approved his request.

As soon as Ma Hua and his friends arrived, they started to set up the kitchen, and people from the compound also helped out.

The second master took half a day off specifically to coordinate the wedding arrangements. He was giving orders with his bulging belly, and occasionally gave stern lectures, as if he had regained his position as the boss.

Since Yang Jun took over the position of the boss, the second master Liu Haizhong was freed from his constraints. Since the affairs of the courtyard were handed over to the two of them, he assumed some of the responsibilities of the boss.

He secretly convened several general meetings to criticize Yi Zhonghai, which made him feel proud and sometimes even regarded himself as the real big brother.

Third uncle Yan Bugui set up an octagonal table at the front gate of the front yard, covered it with a red tablecloth, and laid out wedding account books cut out of red paper on the table. Next to him was a bowl of ink and a brush. He was concentrating on doing something.

On his left side, Xu Damao sat with a handbag slung across his body, responsible for collecting payments.

On the right is Yan Jiekai, with some cigarettes and candies scattered around him.

The three people each have their own duties: one keeps accounts, one collects money, and one distributes red envelopes and candies.

Today is Yang Jun's last day at work. He plans to hang out at the steel plant and then come back to attend Sha Zhu's wedding.

As soon as I went out, I ran into Sha Zhu who came in a hurry.

"Junzi, I need to borrow your car today. Can you help me pick up my bride?"

Sha Zhu, holding a few strings of firecrackers in his hand, asked Yang Jun for help while sweating all over.

“No problem, Brother Zhuzi, I’ll stop by on my way to the factory.

If you can't make it back, let Jie Cheng drive my car there, and I'll leave the car keys at home for you.

"

Last night, Yang Jun had already made arrangements and asked Yang Mei to help Sha Zhu at home, and also left two cars for him to use for his wedding.

In fact, at the beginning, Sha Zhu had no plan to bring Yang Jun along. He originally planned to borrow two bicycles from the Yang family, Ma Damao's, his third uncle's and Yu Shui's simple cart. A total of six vehicles would be enough to hold the scene.

For the city of Beijing, six wedding cars are not a lot, but they seem more impressive than the groom riding a bicycle on his own.

As for rural areas, newlyweds rarely use bicycles to pick up and drop off brides. They usually use flatbed trucks or tractors to bring the bride home.

"Ahem... Junzi, I want to ask... can you please... "

Sha Zhu coughed lightly, then looked at the Willys Jeep parked in front of the courtyard gate somewhat embarrassedly.

Yang Jun understood what he meant at a glance. Sha Zhu felt that six bicycles were not enough to show off his wealth and wanted to upgrade the configuration.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhuzi. It will take me no more than an hour to get to the factory. I will be back before you pick up your bride."

“Thank you so much bro.

"
