Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

West Wing Courtyard.

"This Sha Zhu is quite useless. If it were Shao Wen, he would at least beat up Yi Xiaolong first, and then ask Yi Zhonghai for a hundred yuan." Qin Huairu said coquettishly.

"Ah, can you get money after beating someone up?" Ran Qiuye was surprised.

"When Shao Wen first came, he beat up Sha Zhu and the others, and they all paid compensation." Qin Huairu laughed.

"This Sha Zhu is quite interesting. He knows how to ask for money after getting married." Qin Jingru sighed.

"It's a bit unexpected." Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "This Sha Zhu must have been really stimulated by Xu Damao..."

"What do you mean?"

Everyone gathered around.

"Think about it, no matter how bad Xu Damao is, he at least lives a pretty good life, right? He doesn't have children, but he has a wife, and... have you ever seen Xu Damao lack money?" Lin Shaowen chuckled,

"Isn't he relying on Zhang Wan?" Yu Haitang frowned, "If there was no Zhang Wan, Xu Damao would still want to go through the secret door... Bah."

"So, this is the biggest difference between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao. Just watch, Sha Zhu will be beaten back to his original form in a few days." Lin Shaowen sighed.

"Okay, let's have breakfast first." Su Xiu stood up and smiled, "Their affairs have nothing to do with us, we just live our own lives."

"That's right." Ran Qiuye also stood up and said, "As long as they don't come to provoke us, they can do whatever they want."

In the kitchen.

Su Xiu looked at Ran Qiuye who was cooking noodles and whispered, "Do your parents know about you and him?"

"I know." Ran Qiuye sighed.

"Well, are they willing?" Su Xiu was surprised.

"No, but they have no choice." Ran Qiuye shrugged, "I told them that I was pregnant with Shao Wen's child, and they scolded me, and then said what he did to me..."

"Is this possible?" Su Xiu looked incredible.

These days, getting pregnant before marriage will be criticized.

If the news spreads, the whole family will be cursed.

"I bought three big things and gave them a hundred yuan, saying it was Shao Wen's betrothal gift... Although it can't be married in an open way, they didn't say anything else, just told me to be careful and not to be discovered by Jing Ru." Ran Qiuye smiled bitterly.

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Xiaoyu came over.

"We were talking about how to tell my family about this." Su Xiu sighed, "Sister Xiaoyu, how did you tell your parents?"

"My parents already knew Shao Wen." Zhang Xiaoyu chuckled, "My father and Shao Wen's father are close friends, and he had this idea before... But I am several years younger than Shao Wen, and Shao Wen was married to Lou Xiao'e at that time, so my father didn't mention it, but my father still likes Shao Wen."

"You are so lucky." Su Xiu praised.

"Just tell your father the truth, what's the big deal..." Zhang Xiaoyu said nonchalantly, "If he makes a fuss, you can just give him the money and say it was given by Shao Wen. As long as you are willing, and Shao Wen doesn't treat you badly, what can they say?"

"That's right."

Su Xiu nodded, feeling a little relieved.

At this time.

Xu Damao shouted outside the door, "Lao Lin, Lao Lin, come out quickly..."

"I'm coming."

Lin Shaowen responded and walked out.

"Old Lin, why are you hiding at home on this weekend? Come out and have fun."

Xu Damao said nothing and dragged Lin Shaowen to the compound.

Qin Huairu and others followed him out.

"Old Xu, what are you up to?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"I'm asking you to come out and watch the show." Xu Damao said with a sly smile, "I heard that Auntie wants to match Yi Xiaolong and Qin Huairu."

"There's this?" Lin Shaowen said in surprise.

"That's right." Xu Damao lowered his voice, "That country bumpkin looks like a bun, a toad wants to eat swan meat, let's wait and see the show."

"You."

Lin Shaowen smiled and shook his head.

Compound.

Sha Zhu was busy with a few aunties, while Yi Zhonghai sat happily in the middle with Auntie and Yi Xiaolong.

"Hey, Huairu is here."

When the aunt saw Qin Huairu, she immediately came forward.

"Sister Qin."

Yi Xiaolong also called out shyly.

"Yeah."

After Qin Huairu nodded, she was about to go to Lin Shaowen, but was stopped by the aunt.

"Huairu, don't go. Let's chat."

"Aunt, if you have something to say, just tell me. We are not talking about anything shameful."

Qin Huairu's voice was a little louder, attracting everyone.

"Ahem, Huairu, you have been in the courtyard for more than ten years, right?" The aunt sighed."Well, more than ten years." Qin Huairu also smiled bitterly, "Time flies. When I came here... I was the same age as Yan Fengyu, but now I am old."

"Sister Qin, how are you old?" Yi Xiaolong said hurriedly, "If you go out now, people will still say you are a little girl."

"What little girl, don't talk nonsense." Qin Huairu waved her hand.

"Huairu, you and Jia Dongxu have been divorced for so many years, don't you want to find another one?" The aunt tried.

"I'm so old, what else can I find?" Qin Huairu said helplessly, "Besides... there's no one suitable."

"Why not?" The aunt immediately said, "What do you think of my Xiaolong? He's a good person and has a formal job... Most importantly, he doesn't mind that you're divorced and have children."

"That's interesting." Lin Shaowen chuckled, "What are Qin Huairu's conditions? It's a blessing that she doesn't mind Yi Xiaolong being a country boy. What right does Yi Xiaolong have to look down on her?"

"Lin Shaowen, what are you talking about?" Yi Zhonghai said unhappily, "Did Qin Huairu get married in the fourth year of her life?" Jiucheng? Isn't she from Changping?"

"But her household registration is now in the official Sijiucheng area." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "If you want to date, just date properly, what's the point of talking about whether you dislike her or not..."

"Lin Shaowen, this has nothing to do with you, right?" The auntie said dissatisfiedly, "Although Qin Huairu lives in the same yard with you, she has nothing to do with you, why are you making trouble?"

"That's right." Liu Haizhong also pouted, "Could it be that Lin Shaowen, you are thinking about Qin Huairu? Don't want her to get married?"

"Wow."

As soon as these words came out, the whole yard became lively.

"Liu Haizhong, you should be more careful when you speak." Lin Shaowen said lightly, "Qin Huairu is my cousin anyway, and her father and I were colleagues... I don't know whether it's my responsibility or not, but I think that with Qin Huairu's conditions, we should at least let her choose the young man in our courtyard, right?"

"Why do you say that she needs others to give her alms?"

...

The Liu brothers and the Yan brothers nodded their heads vigorously when they heard this.

What a joke, if Qin Huairu was really married to Yi Xiaolong, they would be so angry.
