A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 482 The owner is kind
Qin Jingru held the broken package she brought and looked curiously at the customer's house.

Before that, she had stayed with Mother Li in the courtyard for more than ten days.

Mother Li and Qin Huairu patiently taught me the basic training that needed to be done.

Seeing that she had learned well, Mother Li took her to her eldest son's home with confidence.

When she came to Li Xiang's side, Qin Jingru's treatment was not bad. She could live in a room alone, which was a treatment she could not enjoy in the courtyard.

Li Xiang and Qiu Fanghua saw her looking left and right, but they didn't stop her.

Qiu Fanghua even took the initiative to take her around and introduced the situation at home and surrounding areas to prepare for Qin Jingru's next job.

Seeing his wife leading them to the front yard, Li Xiangcai asked his mother in surprise: "Isn't it true that she is more than ten years younger than Sister-in-law Qin? Why does she look so much older than Sister-in-law Qin?"

When Li Xiang saw Qin Jingru for the first time, his heart skipped a beat.

He is dark and thin. Compared with Qin Huairu standing beside him, he looks like a person from two different worlds.

For those who don’t know the situation, they probably just think that Qin Jingru is the elder sister and Qin Huairu is the younger sister.

"That's good. Don't tell her she can't cook it. No matter how good she cooks it, in my heart, I still want to eat the food you cooked." Li Xiang coaxed his mother sweetly.

She planned to make braised pork for lunch and let Qin Jingru learn how to cook it first.

But she also thought that her son and daughter-in-law were busy with work. If the daughter-in-law couldn't spare time, how could she let her eldest grandson eat vegetarian food all the time?

In this way, even if the oppressed party cannot survive, they will not choose to break up the family to the death.

Mother Li glanced at her son with an angry expression on her face, but she was extremely caring in her heart.

Therefore, most family divisions are not carried out until the death of the elder.

"Everything else has been trained. She only knows how to cook a few simple dishes now. But she can't blame her. On the dining table in the countryside, there are pickle dishes for three meals a day. She can cook vegetables clearly. That's right, if you want to eat something good, you still have to take the time to teach her yourself." Mother Li told her eldest son about Qin Jingru's situation.

After hearing this, Li Xiang understood that life in rural areas is still dominated by large family units.

It would be fine if it could be explained clearly, but in serious cases that cannot be explained clearly, it may even affect future generations' ability to marry wives and children.

Elderly people who are gradually coming to an end will not give away their "property" easily.

Especially during the period of earning centimeters, strong laborers who can earn centimeters are one of the "important assets" that the family can show off to the outside world.

"How can the countryside be compared to the city? You have to dig in the fields all day long. After being exposed to the sun a few times, you will look dark." After saying this, Mother Li also raised her head and took a look in the direction of the front yard. , after making sure that no one was around, he replied in a low voice: "The house is in chaos. The old woman is very partial. She insists on not separating the families. All the hard-earned money has been confiscated. I don't give up anymore and would rather go out to find food." I don’t want to hold on to that bit of land anymore.”

Thinking of this, Mother Li immediately added: "If you really don't have time, come here when I have a rest and let Jingru continue to learn from me."

As soon as she got the compliment from her son, she decided to take Qin Jingru to the market.

And if the elders are still alive and the family is divided in advance, outsiders will definitely complain that there is something wrong with the family.

It is better to choose the day than to hit it. Mother Li's mobility is very limited.

. . . . . .

The Li family treated Qin Jingru very well, from the time she was brought to Li's mother, to the time she was sent to Li Xiang's home.

When I left Mother Li's place, I had a few old sisters' clothes given by Mother Li, so I didn't look like a fugitive. After staying at Li Xiang's house for another half month, he had already changed completely.

While the host's family is resting, give her a day off.

When she arrived at Qin Huairu's house, her cousin brought several nephews, but she didn't recognize them at first sight.

Qin Huairu led her into the house, looked at the bag of apples in her hand, and said politely: "Come here, what else do you want to buy? It would be great to save this money to buy something for the two children."

"That's different. Sister, you have helped me so much. I don't want to repay you, so how can I take advantage of you again." Qin Jingru changed her shyness when she first came home, and now she speaks more generously.

Qin Huairu was just being polite. If her cousin was in the same situation as before, she would definitely not ask for the things she paid for.

It's different now. Her cousin's salary is only a lot more than her own. Qin Huairu feels like she can bear it by eating her and drinking whatever she wants.

"Auntie, your clothes are newly made. The style is so fashionable." Huaihua touched the fabric on Qin Jingru's body and asked with some envy.

"I've only been working for a few days. How can I find any fabric to make new clothes? This one was given by my husband...Comrade Qiu gave me such good clothes. I was told not to think that I was a grown-up." Qin Jingru cherished it. He touched his clothes.

Upon hearing the origin of the clothes, Qin Huairu and Xiaodang's eyes flashed.

They were both envious, but not to the point of jealousy.

Whether it was Li Xiang's or Li's mother's reasons for refusing, there was nothing to blame.

Especially when Li's mother talked about the relationship with Li Xiaodi with sticks, Qin Huairu's attempts to fight for it were eliminated in one fell swoop.

My aunt is right. Bangge and Xiao Ming get along well, but their family uses their son's best friend's mother and sister as domestic helpers. What kind of news would that spread out?

Mother Li stared at Qin Huairu and said, "If we do this, I'm afraid the Li family's reputation in this area will be ruined."

In fact, I am also asking, are you trying to trap our family into injustice?

Isn’t it true that your family is having a hard time with it now? You’re still a college student, and you’re so busy rushing to do this. Isn’t that just trying to get others to talk?

After withdrawing his thoughts, Qin Huairu smiled at Qin Jingru and said, "I'm right, no matter how kind the Li family is, you don't come to their house to work, you come to enjoy the blessings."

Qin Jingru held her cousin's hand gratefully. She could not express her gratitude for the many things she had done in return, but she would never forget her cousin's kindness to her.

At noon, Qin Huairu specially cut the meat and made fried shredded pork with green pepper to entertain her cousin.

Qin Jingru didn't put it into her own bowl. She would give some to the youngest of the Qin family, and then add some chopsticks to Xiaodang and Huaihua.

"Sister, don't just give it to the children, eat some yourself. There's still a lot on the plate." Seeing this, Qin Huairu asked her to eat by herself and stop looking after the children.

"Sister, I'm not greedy for meat. Give the children more to eat." Qin Jingru replied.

Others only took her words to be polite.

These days, saying similar things in front of others is just a lie among lies.

But this time, Qin Jingru spoke honestly.

She is really not greedy for meat now. To put it bluntly, she even feels a little tired of it sometimes.
