Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 544 That's it
"Hehe! What's wrong? Are you looking silly?"

Lin Tieniu waved his hand in front of Qin Jingru, then laughed softly and joked.

"Brother Tieniu! How do you have so much money? I think there are at least seven or eight hundred here!"

Qin Jingru came back to her senses and asked with a look of surprise.

After finishing speaking, she hesitated for a while, and didn't reach out to take the money on the table, as if she felt that she was not worth so much money.

"Ha! How can there be so much! Here is only 500 yuan, and I can't take out any more."

Lin Tieniu frowned, and smiled cheerfully.

After finishing speaking, he straightened his expression, then lowered his voice and continued, "As for the origin of the money, let me tell you that you must never tell anyone else."

"Hmm! I must not tell anyone!"

Hearing Lin Tieniu's serious words, Qin Jingru nodded hurriedly and agreed.

"Not long ago, I went back to our village to pay homage to my grandfather, and took a shotgun to the mountains for a walk, and guess what happened?"

"It happened that I killed two big wild boars. One of them was brought back and distributed to the villagers, and the other was sold to the rolling mill in the name of the village. The total price was more than 400 yuan."

Lin Tieniu saw that Qin Jingru understood what he meant, so he didn't try to trick him, and just told the story directly.

Anyway, compared to Qin Jingru being his lover, this matter is nothing at all.

Even if it is accidentally known, there will be no problem.

After all, everyone in the rolling mill and the courtyard knew that he had helped the factory purchase a lot of meat, and basically no one would be so ignorant to delve into the twists and turns.

This is also the reason why Lin Tieniu took the trouble to get himself a buyer status, the purpose is to make his work have official endorsement.

"Oh! That's what it is!"

After hearing this, Qin Jingru nodded in amazement.

Afterwards, she looked at Lin Tieniu with admiration, and said, "Brother Tieniu, you are so powerful, you can even beat wild boars!"

"In the past, a whole militia team from our village went hunting in the mountains, and at most they could kill one or two wild boars. Sometimes you didn't even see a single wild boar hair. You just killed two big wild boars by yourself. It's really amazing. !"

"That's right! Don't you look at who I am? How can I say that I have also been a soldier and carried a gun, let alone two big wild boars, even if I meet a group of wild boars, I will clean them up in minutes !"

The corner of Lin Tieniu's mouth curled up, and he said proudly.

"Yeah! Brother Tieniu is the best!"

Qin Jingru looked at Lin Tieniu with a look of a little girl, as if she drank the milk that Lin Tieniu secretly squeezed when she was a child.

"Okay, put the money away quickly, and I'll take you to the bus station for a ride in a while!"

Lin Tieniu waved his hand and urged.

"Well, Brother Tieniu, it doesn't take that much money, does it?"

Qin Jingru glanced at the money on the table, and then said with some reluctance.

In her opinion, Lin Tieniu's money is her money, and if she can spend less, then she and Lin Tieniu can live more comfortably in the future.

"It's okay. In my heart, you are much more important than this money. As long as your parents agree with us, no matter how much money you spend, it will be worth it!"

Lin Tieniu shook his head, then said seriously.

"Ok!"

When Qin Jingru heard this, she felt moved in her heart, wishing to become Lin Tieniu's woman immediately.

You know, in some places with relatively poor conditions, you only need to spend a few dozen catties of grain to marry a daughter-in-law. Even in their Qinjiazhuang, there are some people who directly exchange grain for their daughter-in-law.

Although her looks and figure are pretty good, she never thought that she could be worth 500 yuan as a bride price, which is 50 yuan at best.

Even if she was to be Lin Tieniu's junior, it would be three or four times more than that at most. 200 yuan would be enough, and 500 yuan would not be needed at all.

To put it bluntly, with so much money, what kind of woman can't be found?Is it necessary to find her, a country girl?

So, how could she not be moved?

Not long after, under the urging of Lin Tieniu, Qin Jingru put away the money, and then carefully hid the money in the interlayer of clothes.

Then, without even bringing a piece of luggage, she followed Lin Tieniu directly to the bus station for a ride, obviously holding 100% confidence in the mission to go home this time.

After seeing Qin Jingru for a ride, Lin Tieniu went back to the yard and checked that it was still early, so he decided to take the opportunity to build the cabin, so as not to have to spare time to work on it in the future.

Since he had built it once before in the courtyard, he didn't waste much time this time. Soon he built a small wooden house of [-] square meters on the open space at the exit of the basement in front of the house.

Among them, in addition to separating a utility room and a toilet in the house like the courtyard, he also deliberately opened a secret door above the exit of the basement, and then pressed a few hundred kilograms weight on the secret door. The large stone jar prevents people from discovering the secret door, and it can also be used to pickle pickles.

In the busy schedule, more than two hours passed in a flash.

Just when the cabin was about to be completed, Qin Jingru returned home nervously all the way, exhausting her so much!
no way!
Anyone who knows that he has 500 yuan on his body will never be able to relax.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way, and there were no accidents.

When Mrs. Li saw Qin Jingru coming back, she immediately asked in surprise, "Girl, why are you back? Didn't you say you were going to stay in the city for a while?"

"Grandma, I have something to discuss with my parents when I come back!"

Qin Jingru stepped forward to help Mrs. Li, and then replied casually. At the same time, she did not forget to glance into the room to see if Qin Guangliang and Sun Fengjuan were at home.

"Yo! Are you done?"

Mrs. Li's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and then she asked with some expectation.

"en can be regarded as a success!"

Qin Jingru pursed her lips and thought for a while, then nodded and said.

"Okay! I'm a lucky girl who underestimated you. I used to hear you talking about marrying into the city. This time, your wish has finally been fulfilled!"

Mrs. Li poked her cane vigorously, and said happily.

On the surface, he seems to be happy for Qin Jingru, but in fact, he is thinking about his two good grandchildren who finally have the money to marry a wife.

Qin Jingru knew this well, and didn't pay much attention to it at the moment. Instead, he rolled his eyes, showing a preoccupied look.

"What's the matter? Are you unhappy?"

Seeing Qin Jingru's appearance, Mrs. Li hurriedly asked.

"Grandma, I."

Qin Jingru opened her mouth, and looked at Mrs. Li with some hesitation.

"Girl, what's the matter with you? Is that kid unwilling to offer so much dowry?"

When Mrs. Li saw this, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly grabbed Qin Jingru's arm and asked.

"no!"

Qin Jingru shook her head and answered in a low voice.

"Oh! Then what is it that makes you so worried? Tell me, grandma can help you figure out a solution!"

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and then asked with some doubts.

"Actually. Actually it's not a big deal, it's just oops! I don't know how to tell you!"

Qin Jingru faltered, as if there was something unspeakable.

"It's okay, don't worry, speak slowly!"

Seeing Qin Jingru like this, Mrs. Li frowned slightly, and then spoke softly in relief.

As the saying goes, old people become smart.

Although Qin Jingru hasn't said anything yet, she has almost guessed something and is waiting for Qin Jingru to tell her honestly.

Qin Jingru saw that the groundwork was almost done, so he didn't waste any more time, and directly told the story of Lin Tieniu's promise to the old cripple to help the old Lin's family grow.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li was a little surprised. She didn't expect that there was such an inside story.

At the same time, because she is also a person who has experienced it herself, she can understand the request made by the old cripple to Lin Tieniu, and she does not doubt the truth of this matter.

However, in this way, things will be troublesome!
She pondered for a while, then slowly asked: "Girl, what exactly does that kid mean now?"

"He hopes that I can follow him first to see if I can give birth to a son!"

Qin Jingru glanced at Mrs. Li, and then answered honestly.

"How can this work? If you follow him, how will you marry in the future?"

Mrs. Li stared, and said anxiously.

Although she is quite patriarchal, but no matter what, Qin Jingru is her own granddaughter, and it is impossible for her to push Qin Jingru into the fire for such a small gift.

However, she said so, but she didn't say it to death, obviously subconsciously still thinking about that little bride price.

When Qin Jingru heard this, she didn't feel sad at all, after all, she was used to being treated differently.

Moreover, at this moment, she has already regarded herself as Lin Tieniu's person, so it is even more difficult to talk about whether she is sad or not.

Thinking of the good life these past two days, she pursed her lips and said softly, "Grandma, you don't have to worry about me, Brother Tieniu has already promised me that he will treat me well for the rest of his life whether I have a son or not. "

"Besides, I have already promised him that I want to tell my parents about this when I come back this time."

"Ouch! You silly girl, why are you so stupid! You dare to promise this kind of thing privately, and when your parents come back, let's see if they don't break your legs!"

When Mrs. Li heard that Qin Jingru had agreed to Lin Tieniu's request, she reprimanded angrily.

"Grandma, you said just now that you want to help me find a way together, but you can't take your word for it!"

Qin Jingru pouted, and said with some annoyance.

"Hey! You girl is relying on me, right? How can you ask me to help you with this kind of thing? Isn't this nonsense!"

Mrs. Li stared at her eyes and said angrily.

"Grandma, just help me! My dad listens to you the most, as long as you are willing to speak, he will definitely agree!"

Qin Jingru shook Mrs. Li's arm slightly, and then pleaded softly.

After she finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Li's unmoved face, she changed her mind, hurriedly leaned into Mrs. Li's ear, and said in a low voice, "Grandma, if this matter is over, Tie Niu Brother, he promised to give our family 500 yuan!"

"What? 500 yuan? Are you telling the truth?"

Mrs. Li exclaimed suddenly when she heard the words, and then stared at Qin Jingru nervously, for fear that she had heard it wrong just now.

"Really! I have brought back all the money!"

Qin Jingru nodded seriously and said.

"This"

Mrs. Li opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

She didn't expect Lin Tieniu to be so generous, and he took out 500 yuan all at once.

To put it a bit exaggerated, she has never seen so much money at such an old age!

This caused her original thoughts of wanting to dissuade her to begin to shake violently, and the balance in her heart gradually tilted towards selling Qin Jingru.

Yes, that's right, it's sold!
If it hadn't been sold, she would never have thought of any reason to accept such a large sum of money.

Therefore, she didn't express her position immediately, but fell silent directly.

After all, some things are easy to do, hard to say, and hard to hear. In her heart, she still has a family affection for Qin Jingru, a granddaughter.

"Grandma, please help me!"

Seeing that Mrs. Li was silent, Qin Jingru hastily pleaded.

"Hey! I said, why are you bothering! It would be great to find someone to marry, why do you have to look for that kid and not let him go?"

Seeing Qin Jingru's expectant face, Mrs. Li couldn't help but shook her head and said with a sigh.

"Grandma, I have identified him in my life, and I believe he will treat me well!"

Qin Jingru said firmly while recalling what happened in the past two days in her mind.

When Mrs. Li heard Qin Jingru's words, she didn't have any doubts in her heart. If Lin Tieniu didn't really treat Qin Jingru well, she wouldn't have spent so much money.

In fact, up to now, she has already acquiesced in this matter, but it's just that she still can't get rid of that face.

Thinking that her two good grandsons were already in their twenties and hadn't married a wife yet, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

That's it!

Anyway, I don't have many days to live, so let me be the villain!We can't let this girl break the relationship with her parents.

After making a decision, Mrs. Li didn't worry about it anymore, she nodded slowly and said, "Girl, you can give me the money now! I'll help you tell your parents later!"

"Okay, thank you grandma!"

Qin Jingru is also a straightforward person. Hearing this, she took out the 500 yuan from the inner lining of her clothes, and stuffed it into the hands of Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li held the 500 yuan tightly in her hand, feeling a little excited in her heart, as if she had caught the daughter-in-law of her two good grandchildren.

Afterwards, she hurriedly put the money into her pocket and covered it, then sat at the door of the house and waited with Qin Jingru for Qin Guangliang and Sun Fengjuan to come back.
