Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 47 Qin Huairu has ulterior motives
Shuguang Courtyard, in the kitchen.

"Mom, what we discussed before..." Wu Xiaoying asked tentatively.

Wang Cuilan glanced at her and said calmly, "Can you ask about such an important matter casually? You must find the right opportunity."

"Besides, Wenhui isn't pregnant yet, why are you in such a hurry? And this matter can only be discussed with Hongchang first, so don't get involved."

Wu Xiaoying sighed as she picked vegetables, "I am just too concerned and worried that Hong Chang and Wen Hui will not agree."

"Even if we don't agree to your request, you can't complain, and you are not allowed to do anything bad behind the scenes." Wang Cuilan warned.

"Even if they don't agree, you can still think of other ways."

Wu Xiaoying knew what she meant. Wasn't it just about adopting another family's child?

"But Yunchang said that other people's children don't have the blood of the Liu family, so they can't be close after all." She hesitated.

Wang Cuilan nodded and said, "So I will do my best to persuade Hongchang and try to get their agreement."

This was also because she felt sorry for her eldest son and his wife, who were worried about their children all day long.

Otherwise, she is living a good life, why worry about this?

In the next bedroom.

Thinking that they would move in in the future, He Wenhui took Gao Junling to roughly decorate the house.

"This room is really big. It can be divided into two rooms." Gao Junling said to He Wenhui with a smile.

"When you have a child, living here will be much more comfortable than living in Suxiang Hutong."

He Wenhui hesitated and said, "It's just that my eldest brother and his wife don't seem very happy."

"That's for sure. If Hongchang doesn't agree to give them the house, it would be strange for them to be happy." Gao Junling nodded.

"Let's not talk about that. Take a closer look at what else needs to be added here. Count them first so you have a clear idea."

He Wenhui thought for a moment and said, "If we move the sewing machines, tables, and cabinets over there, it will be enough for us."

"Besides, I still have to discuss this matter with Hong Chang. Sister Junling, don't laugh at me. He is the one who is in charge of the family."

"Oh? Didn't I listen to you before?" Gao Junling couldn't help laughing and asked knowingly. Liu Hongchang had told her about this.

He Wenhui looked embarrassed and said, "Before marriage, he listened to me. After marriage, it's my turn to listen to him."

"You don't know how overbearing he is. He asked me to give him all my monthly salary, fearing that I would secretly give pocket money to Wenyuan and the others."

Gao Junling nodded and smiled, "I think he is right. The daily necessities of life for a couple are nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea."

"If you don't plan carefully and spend lavishly, you may end up arguing over trivial matters and won't be able to live long."

"Besides, why do we give Wenyuan and Wentao so much pocket money?"

"Not only did they not use the money properly, but they also developed a bad habit of extravagance and waste!"

"I turned a deaf ear to it before, but now that we are talking about this, I will mention it. It is up to you whether you listen or not."

"Wenyuan is better. Although he is unruly, he is still a little older and knows how to organize himself."

"But Wentao is different. Look at what he has become because of you guys. He can't tell right from wrong and is impulsive and easily angered."

"You can't go on like this! If you don't do it right, you might get into trouble and it will be too late for you to regret it."

The more He Wenhui listened, the more she frowned. This was the second time she heard someone say bad things about He Wentao. The first one was naturally Liu Hongchang.

Although she felt uncomfortable, she was not angry. She knew Gao Junling was doing this for her own good and she would not have said this if they did not have a good relationship.

Even though Liu Hongchang had been saying that He Wentao was not good in this or that way, she just ignored it and didn't take it to heart.

But now even Gao Junling was criticizing He Wentao, and she took it to heart and secretly worried about He Wentao's future.

……

Red Star Courtyard. Qin Jingru heard everyone exclaiming that she had become younger, but she didn't doubt it and felt relieved.

At the same time, I felt a little funny. She was still the same person, but her temperament had improved a little. She became suspicious instead.

Because Qin Huairu was holding her back, she couldn't go to the rental house again, so she had to return to the Jia family to stay overnight.

As for Xu Damao, she has no intention of going back there. When the opportunity is right, she will even divorce Xu Damao.

She is only in her early thirties, not too old, has a stable job, and is taken care of by Liu Hongchang. She doesn't have to follow Xu Damao.

"Aunt, you look younger than me now." While eating, Huaihua took Qin Jingru's arm and said enviously.

"When did it start to change? It seems like you went to the countryside a few days ago, and when you came back you looked different."

Qin Huairu was sewing clothes on the sewing machine beside her and smiled as she continued:
"If I had such a good job, I would be in high spirits and full of energy, and I would go home and show off."

Everyone attributed Qin Jingru's changes to the fact that she had a good job, was in good spirits and was in a good mood, so naturally there would be some changes.

Qin Jingru didn't make any excuses, she sighed and said, "I used to follow Xu Damao, and I lived by his face, and I was always sad."

"You age quickly when you're frowning. Now that you're relaxed, no wonder you look younger." Xiao Dang said with a smile.

Qin Huairu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Xu Damao just said that he was going to hire a chef to prepare a big meal and wanted to have a good talk with you?"

"Well, I'm going to eat, but I don't plan to reconcile with him." Qin Jingru nodded.

Liu Hongchang had already received the wages, and he had some bad intentions, so she naturally had to cooperate with him and satisfy him.

Qin Huairu pondered and said, "If Xu Damao can give in and reconcile, then try to reconcile. You can't get married again, right?"

"So what if I remarry? Nowadays, people value freedom of marriage. I don't want to be bullied by Xu Damao again." Qin Jingru pouted.

"Don't try to persuade me. Others may not know how I have been through these years, but don't you know?"

At this time, Sha Zhu, who was cooking outside, came in with a spoon and said with a smile: "I support Jing Ru in this matter."

"It's none of your business, go cook!" Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him.

"When it comes to Jingru's marriage, don't bring up your personal grudge with Xu Damao."

Sha Zhu laughed dryly twice, acted as if he was nothing but a fool in front of Qin Huairu, and turned around to cook.

"In fact, with Jingru's age and stable job, it would be easy for her to find a man even if she remarries." Jia Zhang suddenly said.

Qin Huairu said speechlessly: "Mom, please stop interfering."

"Am I wrong? Jingru is so beautiful, there are many people who want to marry her." Jia Zhang said with a pout.

Qin Jingru smiled and said, "Don't argue. I know my own business and I will handle it well."

"I'm worried about you because I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it well." Qin Huairu said unhappily.

"If I get divorced, it will be my second marriage, which will damage my reputation. Don't expect everything to be so perfect."

But she knew in her heart that with Qin Jingru's current situation and a stable job, it would be quite easy for her to find a man with good conditions.

Qin Huairu knew exactly this, and was afraid that Qin Jingru would marry a man better than Xu Damao. She would be jealous to death even in her dreams.

After the two sisters married into the city, their relatives in their hometown often compared them with each other. Qin Huairu didn't want to be outdone by Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru didn't know what Qin Huairu was thinking, but ever since she let Liu Hongchang do it, she had a plan in mind.

"It's a second marriage, so what? I don't have children to burden me. If he likes me but cares about this, I won't marry him." She said disapprovingly.

Jia Zhang smiled and agreed, "Except for her second marriage, Jingru has all the advantages. She will definitely find someone better."

"Mom! I really admire you for advising reconciliation instead of separation." Qin Huairu said speechlessly, feeling depressed.
