Chapter 180 Xu Damao wants to do something bad
Qin Huairu winked at Jia Zhang, who was sewing shoe soles nearby.

Jia Zhang had no objection to Qin Jingru marrying Sha Zhu. She was just afraid that Qin Huairu would remarry and abandon her and her three children, and she would then have no one to take care of her in her old age.

So Jia Zhang told Qin Jingru in vivid detail the origin of the nickname "Shazhu".

When Sha Zhu's father asked him to go to Dongzhimen alone to buy buns, he met a group of wounded soldiers. The wounded soldiers wanted to snatch his buns. Sha Zhu picked up the buns and ran away. He ran desperately and was chased desperately all the way. Finally, Sha Zhu finally got rid of the wounded soldiers. Sha Zhu sold the buns that he had snatched back with his life to a merchant. Unexpectedly, the merchant gave him counterfeit money. Sha Zhu's father was so angry that he scolded him for being stupid. From then on, Sha Zhu's nickname was left.

Qin Jingru felt relieved after hearing what Jia Zhang said. As long as this Shazhu was healthy, had no missing limbs, and was not stupid, it would be enough. Qin Jingru also knew that even if she was beautiful, it would be useless because people with rural household registration were not popular in the city.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang looked at each other, and seeing that Qin Jingru was willing, they casually asked about Qin Jingru's betrothal gift and future support for their family.

Qin Jingru is not a pushover either. She doesn't want to continue supporting her cousin's entire family after marrying Sha Zhu.

The three of them did not reach a consensus for the time being. After a while, Sha Zhu, dressed up like a man, came to Qin Huairu's door with something in his hand and knocked on the door in a pretentious manner, saying, "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"

This sentence made everyone in the house laugh.

"Why is this guy so funny? He's like a teacher." Qin Jingru also heard it. This Sha Zhu really doesn't look like a fool.

Qin Huairu also spoke well of Sha Zhu, saying that Sha Zhu was polite and would never enter unless allowed to do so by others.

Qin Huairu stood up and prepared to open the door, while Qin Jingru quickly stood up and straightened her clothes.

Sha Zhu walked in with his head lowered, handed the things to Qin Huairu, then looked up slightly and glanced at Qin Jingru. He was immediately attracted to Qin Jingru. This girl was so pretty.

"Why don't you come over to my place and sit for a while." Sha Zhu looked at Qin Jingru with some satisfaction. The next step was to get to know each other.

Qin Jingru looked at Sha Zhu. Although Sha Zhu was a little old, the fact that he was a cook was a plus. Qin Jingru readily agreed to the invitation to visit Sha Zhu's house.

"My house is a little messy, don't mind it. I'm just looking at you. I usually keep it clean." Sha Zhu pushed open the door and felt embarrassed when he looked at his messy house. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but today, a little girl suddenly showed up and he felt embarrassed.

Sha Zhu quickly packed up the clothes he had taken off this morning.

"It's okay. I'll help you clean it up." Qin Jingru saw that this matter could not be handled by a grown man, so she rushed forward to clean it up. In order to stay in the city, she had to perform well.

"A man has a man's job. The mess in your house proves that you have no woman." Qin Jingru was quite happy, as it meant that her cousin was still reliable this time.

Sha Zhu was also happy to hear that. It seemed that his story was almost true. Also, a cook in the city with a principal wife could marry any kind of wife in the countryside with such conditions. It just so happened that Sha Zhu was both picky and someone was trying to sabotage him.

"Okay, I don't need to pretend anymore. I'm like this all the time." Sha Zhu smiled and looked at Qin Jingru's busy figure with a somewhat obscene smile.

"Okay, you work very efficiently. You can tell at a glance that you are just like your sister, a thrifty person." From this we can see why Sha Zhu can't find a wife. He is comparing him with Qin Huairu.

Then the two told each other about their love history. One of them was in a relationship that didn't work out, and the other one looked down on rural men.

"Yes, yes, it's a bit unfair for you to marry into the countryside with your looks." Sha Zhu is a very sweet person to women. "What do I look like?"

"It's beautiful." Sha Zhu praised, "Of course I'm a bit miserable, just stand with me and you'll have to bear with it."

These words made Qin Jingru laugh.

The two of them sat at the table and began to get to know each other. Sha Zhu also started talking and told her everything about his situation, even the fact that he had helped Qin Huairu and that Bang Geng used his place as a canteen.

Qin Jingru felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. This time, she almost regarded herself as the mistress of this house. She heard that Banggeng often came to Shazhu's house to steal things, which made her a little unwilling.

When the two were talking excitedly, Sha Zhu didn't notice that someone was eavesdropping outside.

Xu Damao left the courtyard early in the morning and prepared to go back to his parents' house. Unexpectedly, he found out that he had forgotten to take the Cantonese sausages he had left in the house. So he turned back and heard some noise in Sha Zhu's house. Then he found out that Qin Huairu's beautiful country cousin had come to have a blind date with Sha Zhu again.

Xu Damao quickly asked Jia Zhang, who was about to go to the toilet, and after confirming that the people in the room were Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru, Xu Damao suddenly came up with a new idea.

Xu Damao pushed his bicycle towards the backyard, staring at Sha Zhu's house all the way, thinking to himself that if Sha Zhu succeeds in this, I will no longer be named Xu.

Here, Sha Zhu was still talking to Qin Jingru in the room.

Xu Damao estimated the time and decided not to go back to his parents' home. He just waited for Qin Jingru to come out of Sha Zhu's house.

Xu Damao listened to the noise in the central courtyard. Qin Jingru and Sha Zhu finally came out of their house. Xu Damao planned to wait at the door outside first.

Sha Zhu was weighing some dishes, and Qin Jingru came to Qin Huairu's house with the meat and two fish bought by Sha Zhu. When Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu saw what the two were carrying, they burst into laughter. Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu also started to fight over who would cook.

Qin Jingru's smile suddenly disappeared when she saw Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu's natural expressions. Who would believe them if they said it was okay?

In Li Shengli's house in the front yard, Li Shengli finally coaxed his son to sleep. He wiped the sweat from his head tiredly. It was too difficult.

I have to go to the bathroom while I have time.

Li Shengli put the child down and asked people around to stop rummaging around and get out of bed.

After leaving the courtyard gate, Li Shengli quickly ran to the toilet. He couldn't let go of the child being alone at home.

Coming out of the bathroom, Li Shengli hunched his neck and put his hands in his sleeves and walked straight home. On the way, he saw Xu Damao and Qin Jingru walking out.

What a coincidence! How did I just happen to see it? Xu Damao deserves a beating now. If Sha Zhu asks about it, I will not cover for him. If the two of them start to quarrel, it will be exciting to watch.
