What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

Then, Jia Zhang tried to snatch the money from Qin Huairu's hand like a hungry tiger, muttering, "There's so much money, hurry up and keep it for you, or you won't lose it by accident."

Qin Huairu was quick to put the money away and said anxiously, "Yan Xiaoyao said that this is for me to improve the family's food. He said that if you take it away, he will not give me money anymore."

"If you still want to continue eating corn porridge and steamed buns every day, then I will give it to you." After saying that, Qin Huairu deliberately handed the money to Jia Zhang with a hint of temptation in her eyes.

Jia Zhang looked at the money in Qin Huairu's hand with an uncertain expression on her face. She struggled fiercely in her heart for a long time, and finally said irritably: "In this case, then you should hide it yourself, and don't let Bang Geng touch it. Remember to buy some meat tomorrow, preferably a chicken. We haven't eaten meat for a long time, and our Bang Geng is so thin from hunger."

After saying that, she sighed with heartache.

When Qin Huairu saw that Jia Zhang really didn't snatch the money, she felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile involuntarily broke out on her face.

On the way back, she was still worried that Jia Zhang would snatch the money away, and she would be embarrassed to explain to Yan Xiaoyao tomorrow.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but pat her chest and secretly rejoiced.

After thinking for a while, Qin Huairu took out another 5 yuan, handed it to Jia Zhang, and said gently: "Mom, I have to go to work tomorrow and don't have time to buy vegetables. You take the money and go to the vegetable market to buy meat tomorrow morning!"

After hearing this, Jia Zhang's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly snatched the money Qin Huairu handed over.

His face was full of joy, and he said happily: "No problem, I will go to the market early tomorrow morning and buy the fattest old hen to make soup."

She was secretly calculating: an old hen is only 2 yuan, even if I choose a big one, it will only be 3 yuan, so I can still save 2 yuan. Jia Zhang thought happily, as if the two yuan had already been firmly put into her pocket.

Qin Huairu watched Jia Zhang take the money and smiled helplessly, with a hint of indulgence in her smile, and said, "Mom, I'll go make dinner first. You watch the night watchman and call him back so that he can finish his homework early."

Jia Zhang nodded absentmindedly, glancing at the money in her hand from time to time, her mind completely not on Qin Huairu's words.

After Qin Huairu walked into the kitchen, she sat on a chair with a smug look on her face. She secretly admired her own cleverness and thought happily: With Yan Xiaoyao's care in the future, the Jia family will definitely live better and better. Maybe she can save a lot of money and find a good wife for Banggeng.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang couldn't help laughing out loud, and the laughter seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet room.

But then, Jia Zhang thought of Yu Li from the third uncle's family, and she suddenly felt nervous. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "No, Qin Huairu has to please Yan Xiaoyao more. It would be best if Yan Xiaoyao would only like her wholeheartedly. This is the safest way. Otherwise, trouble will arise sooner or later."

Jia Zhang frowned and racked her brains to think of how to make Qin Huairu please Yan Xiaoyao.

At night, everything was quiet. After Jia Zhang and the other watchmen had fallen asleep, they tiptoed to wake Qin Huairu up from bed.

Qin Huairu sat on a chair in the living room with sleepy eyes, looking at Jia Zhang who woke her up in the middle of the night with a puzzled look on her face. She couldn't help but complain and asked, "Mom, why did you wake me up in the middle of the night? I have to go to work tomorrow."

Jia Zhang approached her mysteriously and said in a low voice, "Didn't you say last time that you have a cousin named Qin Jingru in your family? She's also very pretty, and she should be about the age to get married now, right?"

Qin Huairu was stunned and stared at Jia Zhang with wide eyes, her face full of confusion. She really didn't know why she woke her up in the middle of the night to ask about her cousin.

But he still patiently replied, "Yes, didn't I tell you last time that my cousin has wanted to marry in the city since she was a child? At that time, I was thinking of introducing her to Sha Zhu in the future. I forgot about it, so why are you asking about it all of a sudden?"

Qin Huairu blinked and asked curiously, her eyes full of doubts.

Jia Zhang's face was full of disdain, she curled her lips and said, "For a man like Sha Zhu, don't expect to get married in your lifetime."

Then he looked at Qin Huairu like a fool and said, "I think you are a big fool. Don't you think about how old you are now? You are 30 years old now. You can still be a few years younger. Besides, Yan Xiaoyao will get married one day. What will you do then?"

After Qin Huairu heard what Jia Zhang said, she was dumbfounded and sat there in a daze, as if she had been cast under a spell. In fact, it's not that she hadn't thought about this problem, but she had been deliberately avoiding it.

Ever since she got together with Yan Xiaoyao, she felt that her previous life had been in vain. Every day she was immersed in the happiness that Yan Xiaoyao brought her, so she had never been willing to face this problem.

Now that Jia Zhang had so ruthlessly torn apart the reality that she had been avoiding, her mood instantly felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar, becoming dull, like an eggplant after frost.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu's distraught look, and said with a mysterious expression, "So, I have thought of a good idea. Let's introduce your cousin Qin Jingru to Yan Xiaoyao. Even if they get married, they will be relatives of our family. In this way, they will not ignore our family in the future."

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang ask her to introduce Qin Jingru to Yan Xiaoyao and that they would get married in the future, she felt as if her heart was being plucked by an invisible big hand and it was extremely painful.

Although the solution proposed by Mrs. Jia Zhang might be the best solution at the moment, she still couldn't bear to introduce Yan Xiaoyao to Qin Jingru.

She was struggling in pain inside, her eyes gradually turned red, and she bit her lips tightly, not knowing what to do.

As soon as Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu's expression, she knew what she was thinking.

He pretended to be as wise as Zhuge Liang, shook his head and said, "So you are stupid, didn't your cousin always want to marry in the city? And Yan Xiaoyao, who has such good conditions, may not be interested in her. Even if she is beautiful, what's the use? How many city people are interested in her, a country girl, who doesn't even have food supply."

"Besides, Yan Xiaoyao is a college student, he can find any woman he wants. His mother died not long ago. Do you believe that after a while, those matchmakers will trample down the door of his house?"

Then he pretended to be an experienced person and said, "When the time comes, you can tell Qin Jingru directly that if she wants to marry Yan Xiaoyao, she has to agree to your relationship with Yan Xiaoyao."

"Men are all cunning and will always have their eyes on other things. They always have some special hobbies. When the time comes, you two sisters will serve him together. He will definitely treat you like a treasure in the future."

Jia Zhang said with a proud look on her face.
