Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Although Han Li was unable to get up with Qin Huairu, they could have breakfast together.

What Han Li didn't expect the most was that Qin Huairu actually liked to drink douzhi. She even said that she had heard from others that douzhi was a traditional delicacy of old Beijing and she must try it if she had the chance.

After breakfast, I returned to the small courtyard with its own entrance.

……

Leave before lunch time.

Thinking of eating dumplings when getting on the bus and noodles when getting off, Han Li took Qin Huairu directly to a dumpling restaurant nearby, allowing Qin Huairu to experience the happiness of eating meat again.

Qin Huairu felt that she had made a fortune this time going to the city. Yesterday she had meat-filled dalan biscuits and donkey meat hot cakes with donkey meat vermicelli soup, and today she had meat buns with soy milk and meat and egg dumplings.

All this made her feel as sweet as if she had fallen into a honey jar, and it felt unreal like a dream.

Also, I got 5 yuan ( yuan) for free, because Brother Li said that I don’t have to pay it back in the future;

He also said: "Why should I pay back the money I borrowed with my own ability? Did Liu Bei pay back the money he borrowed from Jingzhou? Did Zhuge Liang pay back the money he borrowed from a straw boat?"

Although Qin Huairu could not understand these words, she was greatly shocked and even felt that Brother Li was the most capable and powerful person in the world.

Moreover, Li Ge had already thought of a perfect solution to the trouble of her lying to go into the city and get a marriage certificate with Jia Dongxu.

After Qin Huairu had eaten and drunk her fill, she looked around warily, took out a wad of money from her inner pocket and stuffed it into Han Li's hand: "Brother Li, please keep this money for me. If you really lose it, I will cry to death!"

In fact, she didn't tell the truth. The real reason was that she had more and more private money now, and it would be difficult to explain to her family if she took it home and was discovered.

Just like the money Han Li gave her before, she didn't dare let anyone know about it, not even her parents or relatives, except when she went to the market to buy some snacks away from acquaintances.

Since Qin Huairu had almost no pocket money, where did this money come from? It was hard to explain.

Moreover, with so much money on her, she was always worried about losing it; at that time, she would not only cry to death, but also want to jump into the river.

Han Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I was planning to return the half of the money I lent you, but you gave me all the money instead."

Qin Huairu frowned slightly and corrected herself somewhat embarrassedly: "Brother Li, I put this money with you for safekeeping. No, it's not for you."

Is there a difference? Han Li smiled and joked: "Aren't you afraid that if you leave all your money with me, I will spend it all?"

"I believe you won't, Brother Li."

Qin Huairu believed that Li Ge looked down on her meager wealth, because it could be seen from Li Ge's daily meals that he was not short of money.

Han Li was amused and thought, Huairu, you probably have never saved your New Year's money with your parents.

But it feels good to be trusted.

station.

Qin Huairu's face was full of reluctance, but her watery eyes were filled with anxiety and hesitation. She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Brother Li, you will marry me, right?"

When they were together yesterday and today, she had asked about it in a roundabout way, but every time she asked, Li Ge interrupted her and talked about other things, so she didn't get a definite answer.

Han Li wanted to give Qin Huairu a reassurance and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a good home."

Qin Huairu obviously didn't hear the hidden meaning behind Li Ge's words, but just the three words "a good destination" were enough to make her face burst into a smile.

Because Brother Li has never lied to her!

After seeing off the smiling and cheerful Qin Huairu, Han Li put his hand on his waist and breathed a long sigh of relief. For a moment, he felt an especially strong desire to buy a house and activate the system.

"I must increase my visible income!" Han Li muttered to himself. He had not thought of a safe and reliable way to make a fortune along the way. It would be safer to study medicine.

So he decided to continue reading medical books after he returned.

However, after returning to the courtyard, Han Li felt Huairu's shadow everywhere. For a moment, his mind was restless and he couldn't concentrate at all.

Because Huairu really has appeared everywhere.

Han Li, who couldn't calm down, simply went out and found a bookstore to go into.

Qin Huairu, who had made Han upset, was now looking forward to a better life in the future and would smile foolishly from time to time.

She had gained a lot during this trip to the city. She ate so many dumplings that she could brag about it for half a year. What's more, she also ate delicious donkey meat and stayed in a hotel, which is absolutely unique in Qinjia Village!

Therefore, Qin Huairu's sense of pride and honor was almost overflowing.

The most important thing is that I got Li Ge’s personal promise that he would not expect to have such a good life of eating meat every day, but it would definitely be no problem to eat it once a month.

Happy times are always short. Qin Huairu was imagining a better life in the future, and before she knew it, the car arrived at the station.

At this time, Qin Huairu felt full of strength and her spirit was particularly high. She arrived at Qinjia Village without feeling tired all the way.

At this time, she slowed down her pace, lowered her head slightly, and put on a depressed and sad expression.

When a villager saw Qin Huairu's appearance, he immediately asked curiously, "Qin Huairu, didn't you go to the city to get married? Why are you back again?"

Qin Huairu pursed her lips and responded with a depressed look: "I accidentally spilled water on the letter of introduction, and the handwriting is a little unclear. The person refused to process it."

The villagers sighed sympathetically: "Oh my, you are so careless! You went to the city for nothing!"

Everyone showed sympathy on their faces, but they were already beaming with joy in their hearts.

You have to know that Qin Huairu is going to marry into the city and live a good life, which is hard not to make people envious and jealous.

As the saying goes: Apart from your parents, almost no one in this world wants you to live a good life.

Listening to everyone's comments, Qin Huairu sighed with a look of grievance on her face.

At this time, a villager realized that something was wrong: "Qin Huairu, you went into the city yesterday, why did you come back only today?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately exchanged glances and gossiped in their hearts: "Could it be that the daughter of Qin Lao San's family spent the night at the man's house last night before getting married? Although it is only a matter of time, but if they haven't got married, then she is an adulterer!"

I'm not afraid of you asking, I'm just afraid of you not asking! Qin Huairu suppressed the laughter in her heart: "I stayed in a hotel last night."

Some people were disappointed, some did not believe it, and some were observing Qin Huairu, trying to see if she was lying.

At this moment, Qin Huairu took out the hotel check-in certificate from her pocket and explained, "I originally planned to stay in the hotel for one night and then try to get the certificate today, but they still refused to do it."

When everyone saw the hotel certificate, they couldn't help but feel envious: "Qin Huairu came to the city to stay in a hotel and had a good meal. Wow, her complexion is obviously much better!"

Qin Huairu was particularly pleased by these envious looks, and thought happily:

"Go on, keep talking. Why don't you say anything? Are you so envious that you don't want to talk? If I tell you about how much meat I ate these past two days, you'll probably cry out of envy!"

However, Qin Huairu was a smart woman. She knew that it would be best if she said something when someone asked her. If she said it directly, it would be a blatant show-off.

And Brother Li has specially reminded us: Be sure to keep a low profile!

After all, there had been a big commotion in the village a few days ago, and it wasn't a good thing to be too prominent at this time.

"Qin Huairu is so lucky!"

"Qin Huairu, you must not be careless in doing things in the future!"

For a moment, there were people who praised her with insincere words, and there were also people who preached in the tone of elders. Qin Huairu didn't hear a single word of words that sincerely wished her well.

In any case, I have passed the hurdle of dealing with the outside world, and the only hurdle left is the one at home.

On the way home, Qin Huairu went over what Li Ge had told her in her mind again, trying to avoid any mistakes.

When she got home and was asked by her parents, Qin Huairu changed her story: "Yesterday on the way into the city, I met an old man with a white beard who fell down, so I kindly helped him up. Later, the old man said he wanted to tell my fortune, so I told him about my marriage..."

"After counting on my fingers, the old man said that my marriage would not last long because my future mother-in-law would do too many evil things and bring bad luck to my husband and children. He told me to sprinkle water on the letter of introduction and wait for a few days to avoid this disaster. But Dongxu was not willing to give up even though we didn't get the marriage certificate. He let me stay in the hotel for another night and wanted to try again the next day, but it still didn't work out."

When she said this, Qin Huairu glanced at her parents, eager to hear them say that they would break off the engagement with the Jia family, so that she could marry Li Ge smoothly.

However, Qin Laosan and his wife did not express their opinions directly. Instead, they looked at each other, exchanged glances, and nodded in tacit understanding.

This is not a bad thing at all, it is clearly a very good thing!

Just imagine, if Jia Dongxu is gone in the future, Mrs. Jia probably won't live long either. By then, all the property of the Jia family will fall into the hands of her daughter, and she will help her mother's family even more.

Thinking of this, Qin Lao San said in a somewhat blaming tone: "Well, these are all common tricks used by swindlers, specifically to deceive ignorant girls like you. Did you get cheated of your money?"

Qin Huairu shook her head and hurriedly explained: "Dad, but what the old man said is absolutely right."

"Use your brain." Qin Lao San said unhappily, "Think about it, you finally got married into the city, and now a fortune teller suddenly shows up and wants to break up your marriage. Isn't this just because they can't stand our family doing well? It must be those people who are jealous of our family and are deliberately doing bad things!"

Then, Qin Lao San made the final decision: "Huai Ru, go get a new letter of introduction and go to the city tomorrow morning to get the marriage certificate with Dong Xu!"

Qin Laosan displayed the aura of the head of the family, and his tone was full of authority that could not be refused.

Qin Huairu was stunned: The Jia family is obviously a big fire pit, how could you bear to let me jump into the fire pit! ? Am I still your biological daughter? Have you ever thought about me? Have you ever asked me what I think?

Normally it would be fine if the parents favored the older and younger brothers, but now they completely disregarded their daughter's lifelong happiness and wanted to push her into the fire pit with their own hands!

All at once, all the grievances I had suffered at home came flooding back to me;

The last time she went into town, her family ate meat.

After receiving the betrothal gift from Jia Dongxu, her brother, sister-in-law and younger brother all got pocket money, but she didn't.

That day, she exchanged the "herbs" for five White Rabbit candies, but she didn't get even half a piece.

All these biased things made Qin Huairu suddenly realize that she was the least favored one in the family and her parents didn't care about her at all.

"Huai Ru, look how good Jia Dongxu is to you. He lets you stay in a hotel and takes you out for good meals. Where can you find such a good man?"

Qin Huairu's sister-in-law persuaded with an enviable look on her face, and suddenly changed the subject: "Oh, let's talk about this tonight. There is still a lot of work to do at home."

Qin Huairu was not stupid, so she could tell that her sister-in-law was telling her to go to work.

But Qin Huairu didn't say anything. She just said "Mom and Dad, I feel a little uncomfortable" and went back to her room unhappily.

From this moment on, Qin Huairu began to awaken.
