Chapter 25 Deviation
Looking at Qin Huairu's staggering back, Wang Shuqin was a little puzzled. She was fine when she came in the morning, with a happy face.
I cooked an egg for her for breakfast. She looked very happy while eating it.
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm seriously ill and can hardly walk?
Could it be that Qin Huairu had some hidden illness before?
Thinking of this, Wang Shuqin quickly asked Wang Deming: "Deming, you just took Xiaoru's pulse. Did you find anything?"
"Why did he suddenly become like this?"
"Even if a woman's period comes, it won't come this fast, right?"
Hearing his godmother's question, Wang Deming's eyes moved from the backs of Qin Huairu and her brother and sister, and smiled mysteriously at his godmother: "Mom, she is suffering from a mental illness!"
Wang Shuqin was stunned. Heart disease? What kind of heart disease?
Although I had discussed it with my son last night, Qin Huairu definitely didn't know about it!
What else is bothering her? Is it something on her mind or is she really sick?
Thinking of this, Wang Shuqin hurriedly continued to ask: "Deming, if Qin Huairu really has a heart disease, we can't let her marry!"
"Your father is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. Mom knows that if a person has a heart disease, few people can cure it, and the person may die at any time."
"Moreover, women with heart disease cannot have children."
Seeing his godmother's nervous look, Wang Deming laughed and explained, "Mom, she is worried, but she is not really sick."
"It's like this, the house I bought and the one she met on a blind date in Beijing are in the same courtyard, one is the front courtyard and the other is the middle courtyard."
Wang Deming smiled, "Mom, isn't that a coincidence?"
"Ah, is it such a coincidence?" Wang Shuqin was stunned again, and then a smile similar to her son's slowly appeared on her face.
"Mom! Come and see Xiaoru!" Qin Baogui called out to her mother as soon as she helped Qin Huairu to the yard.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Aunt Qin immediately ran out of the house, followed by Qin's eldest sister-in-law holding the child.
Aunt Qin was shocked when she saw Qin Huairu's pale face: "Baogui, what happened to Xiaoru?"
"Did you eat something bad at Widow Yan's house?"
"No." Qin Huairu let go of her hand that was covering her stomach, and her heartbeat gradually stabilized. "Mom, I suddenly felt uncomfortable." Why did her mother always have a hostile attitude towards Aunt Yan? She had told her several times not to call Aunt Yan a widow.
Qin Baogui added, "Mom, Xiaoru and I are at Aunt Yan's house. We had corn and sweet potato porridge and pickles with steamed buns for breakfast. Aunt Yan even cooked an egg for each of us!"
"After dinner, Deming treated me to a glass of tea worth 1 yuan!"
"What? Eat eggs!" Aunt Qin didn't even hear what Qin Baogui said, and shouted, "Give you two one each!"
"Then it's definitely not a stomachache."
He muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "This is such a waste. There is no work in the fields, and we are eating steamed buns so early in the morning. We are even given eggs. This is such a poor way of living."
I swallowed unconsciously.
Then he suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Doesn't Wang Deming know medicine? Didn't he take a look?"
Before Qin Huairu could answer, Qin Baogui rushed to explain: "Deming felt Xiaoru's pulse, but he didn't say anything, maybe he didn't find anything."
"But Aunt Yan said Xiaoru might... well, it's almost time."
"I was worried that there wasn't enough brown sugar at home, so I specially packed two taels of brown sugar for Xiaoru."
Aunt Qin smacked her lips and said, "Well, it's possible." She stepped forward to support Qin Huairu and asked softly, "Xiaoru, if you count the days, it seems to be coming soon, huh?"
Qin Huairu calmed herself down, looked around the yard, and whispered to Aunt Qin, "Mom, let's go inside first."
"Yes, yes, come in first," Aunt Qin supported Qin Huairu and handed the brown sugar in her hand to her daughter-in-law: "My precious daughter-in-law, please help Xiaoru make a cup of brown sugar water."
"Don't drink secretly!"
Qin Baogui snatched the brown sugar from his wife's hand, raised his voice instantly, and complained to Aunt Qin: "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"I'll go for it!"
"you"
"Baogui, I'll go. You help Xiaoru into the house."
"Mom, let's go inside first?" Qin Huairu felt a headache coming on and took a deep breath. "Where's Dad?"
"Your dad has gone to the fields to dig the dirt." "Brother, go call dad back, and let's close the door and talk about something together!"
Her thoughts were racing on the way back, but there was one thing she had thought about very clearly: sooner or later, De Ming would know that she had gone to the capital for a blind date.
Although she had gone to De Ming's house in advance to spend the night with Aunt Yan, she had been busy trying to show herself in the past two days and had won Aunt Yan's favor. Aunt Yan also said in person that she wanted to come to propose marriage.
But, after all, there has been no real engagement or betrothal gift yet!
What if Deming went to collect the house after National Day and found out that he had been to the courtyard for a blind date?
Will there be engagement and betrothal gifts later on?
What if it’s gone?
I have real feelings for De Ming!
What if I can find someone as good as De Ming?
After entering the house, Qin Huairu sat down and drank some red candy. The syrup was very sweet, but she didn't feel any joy in her heart. She forced a smile towards Qin's sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, thank you."
"Hey, what are you thanking me for? We are a family. Xiaoru, I'll take Baoer back to the house first. You take a good rest first." After saying that, the eldest sister-in-law of the Qin family glanced at Aunt Qin, hugged her son tightly in her arms, and said with a lowered eyebrow: "Mom, I'll go back to the house to coax Baoer to sleep first."
Aunt Qin snorted coldly: "Hmm." She was unhappy just looking at this daughter-in-law. Usually her son would take care of her, but just now her son actually called her because of her! She really raised him in vain!
The son has married a wife and forgotten his mother! Alas, I still have to take care of my daughter from now on!
Aunt Qin surrounded Qin Huairu and asked about her health: "Xiaoru, are you feeling better now?"
"Come on, drink more brown sugar water. When your daughter is having her period, there is nothing better than brown sugar water to nourish her body. Yan Ke, Wang Deming's mother still loves you very much, giving you so much brown sugar."
"After you drink the brown sugar water, go lie down on the kang for a while. It may be because you got up too early today and caught a cold, so your period came early."
Qin Huairu suddenly interrupted Aunt Qin and said, "Mom, Deming bought a house! Two rooms! Deming showed me the title deed!"
Aunt Qin was stunned for a moment and then she was overjoyed: "Oh, isn't that a good thing?" She smiled from ear to ear: "Xiao Ru, Wang Deming's family is really rich!"
"Here in the countryside, we built a brick house, and then in the blink of an eye, we bought two houses in the city."
"Xiao Ru, Mom has seen that De Ming will be a promising boy, so I have never objected to your relationship."
"I just don't know if he borrowed more than 100 yuan from his sister as he said? Or was all the money for buying the house borrowed?"
"Xiao Ru, don't be so hasty to express your opinion. Go to Wang Deming's house tomorrow to find out if you can find out whether he has borrowed any money or not."
"It would be OK if they borrowed less. The wheat harvested from this year's fields hasn't been sold yet. Even if they harvested 8 kilograms of wheat from their 1200 mu of land, they could still sell at least 600 kilograms. At 8 cents per kilogram, they could still sell it for 50 yuan."
Qin Huairu kept drinking the brown sugar water silently, letting Aunt Qin chatter in her ears without responding.
At this time, Old Man Qin came home. As soon as he entered the house, he heard Aunt Qin talking about the wheat yield in Wang Deming's field. He replied casually: "More than that, Deming's family can harvest at least 1600 to 1800 kilograms of wheat, and even more than 2000 kilograms!"
"Since the surrounding villages have learned Deming's methods of fertilizing the fields and farming, almost every household can produce more than 200 kilograms per mu of land, and some can even produce more than 250 kilograms."
"Xiao Ru, what's wrong? Your brother said you had a stomachache, why did you suddenly call me back?"
Aunt Qin immediately announced the good news with gestures: "Boss, Wang Deming's family really bought a house in Beijing, and they bought two houses at once!"
"I'll let Xiaoru."
Qin Huairu suddenly interrupted Aunt Qin again: "Mom, the house Deming bought is the front yard house of the family introduced by the matchmaker, it's in the same yard!"
“Deming will go to collect houses after National Day and give candy to neighbors!”
Aunt Qin hadn't figured out what Qin Huairu meant by that yet, and she was still grinning, "Oh, is Wang Deming getting anxious?"
"Xiao Ru, Mom has to tell you that we women must be in control, otherwise we will be easily bullied by our husbands in the future."
"Listen to mom, our betrothal gift must be at least 10 yuan! Wang Deming can't give less than that family in Beijing!"
"If you don't pay this money, don't even think about marrying you away from our family!"
Old Man Qin did hear it, but he didn't take it seriously: "Xiao Ru, your mother was right before, a daughter in one family is sought after by hundreds of families."
"Blind dates are not marriages, so isn't it normal that you don't like each other?"
"Even if two people are in love, don't they still have to consider the parents of both parties?"
"Your mother and I had never met before we got married. We were brought together by a matchmaker, but hasn't it been so many years?"
