The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 1590 The jealous Qin Jingru

"What did that guy want from you last night?"

Early in the morning, the young couple lay on the bed frame in the inner room. Ma Hua was still snoring. Qin Jingru, leaning against the head of the bed with her hands in her arms, looked at Ma Hua who was still sleeping, and pushed him.

"Hmm~, what time is it~!"

Through the slight gap in the curtains, he could see that it was already dawn outside. Ma Hua did not sleep in. He yawned, stretched his body, and woke up from his deep sleep.

"Let me ask you, did the temporary worker from the freight station who came to see you last night come to you through the back door?"

Seeing Ma Hua wake up, Qin Jingru blinked her eyes, turned sideways, and stared into Ma Hua's eyes, as if trying to see something.

"I already said no, it's just a personal matter, don't worry about it~!"

Ma Hua wanted to get up and wash up, but Qin Jingru held him down and he couldn't get up.

Qin Jingru was determined not to give up until she achieved her goal. She moved her face closer, as if she wanted to see Ma Hua's face clearly. Her cheeks were a little puffy and she looked a little angry.

"Personal matters are also matters. How can I come here empty-handed?"

Qin Jingru leaned her body back against the headboard and adjusted the pillow. She picked at her fingernails, spoke in a sarcastic tone, and rolled her eyes.

Without the weight on his shoulders, Ma Hua was able to turn around and lean against the head of the bed. With a black question mark on his face, he looked at Qin Jingru in surprise, wondering what was wrong with her.

"You know, my sister bought a bicycle. Although it's second-hand, it's also a Fei Ge brand, and it has a curved beam. When you were talking about things, she took me to see it. There's a vegetable basket in front. It's so beautiful~!"

Qin Jingru clapped her hands on the quilt, her fingernails gripping it tightly. She lay on her back and spoke out what was in her heart in a wronged manner.

"Not only the car, but also the small leather shoes with high heels. The bag on her shoulder is also made of leather, brown, so beautiful. These two are new, new~!"

Seeing that Ma Hua was still indifferent, Qin Jingru immediately pinched his arm, wanting to twist it, but couldn't bear to do so. In the end, she simply held him in her arms. When she spoke the last part, her tone sounded a little lost.

"Well, then, isn't the money with you?"

Ma Hua's brain was a little frozen at this time. He didn't know what Qin Jingru wanted to express. He didn't forbid his wife to spend money, but this woman, once she had the money, she was reluctant to spend it herself.

"Oh, why don't you understand, Ma Hua? You've been a cadre for such a long time, and no one has come to our house to give gifts. Finally, someone came to you to do something, but he came back empty-handed."

"Look at my sister. Cui Dake may be a little ugly, but she is willing to spend money on my sister. Actually, I don't want to pay attention to her. I know she is showing off to me, and I am not jealous at all, but..., but...!"

But after two attempts, Qin Jingru didn't say anything. She rubbed the quilt with an annoyed look on her face, and tears were about to fall as she spoke.

"I've given you my salary. If you want to wear leather shoes, just go to the department store and buy a pair. Leather bags are pretty but not practical. As for bicycles, you don't go out, so you won't need them~!"

Scratching his hair, Ma Hua could finally see that Qin Jingru didn't sound jealous, but it was obvious that her eyes were red.

"That's different. That's our family's money. We have to save our money and use it when it matters most~!"

Qin Jingru said in a gloomy voice, to put it bluntly, she was still reluctant to spend the money in her hand. The money in her hand was hers, and she couldn't touch it.

"What else do you want? The factory director lives in the same yard, one in front and one behind. You can't see how he works. Who is so bold as to come into this yard and give me a gift?"

"Don't think about those things. If you want something, I can take you to the mall to buy it during our break, or you can buy it yourself~!"

Putting his arm around Qin Jingru's shoulders, Ma Hua gave her a brief analysis of why no one in the family gave her gifts, and then patted her.

From the time he started dating Qin Jingru to the time they got married, Ma Hua had indeed never bought any big items for the family. The expense of a pair of leather shoes was not a big expense, and there was no need for him to be like Sha Zhu, being frugal because he had no money. His current salary was much higher than when he was a cutter in the kitchen, and he was very satisfied.

"It's not fair. We are both cadres. Look at my sister's life now. How can Cui Dake and his factory be so well off? Look how my sister is being coaxed into buying this and that. I'm afraid she'll run away with someone else~!"

Qin Jingru drew circles on Ma Hua's chest. Although she refused to admit it, her eyes were obviously red. She was reluctant to wear good clothes, but that didn't mean she didn't want to wear beautiful clothes. "Hehe, you can't learn from your sister. What do you want? Our family is not short of money now. When we drove a big car, we saved several hundred yuan. Now we probably have one thousand yuan. A pair of leather shoes costs ten yuan. Our family can afford it~!"

Holding Qin Jingru's fingers that were drawing circles on her chest, Ma Hua patiently analyzed how much savings the family had now. His parents didn't need his help, and he didn't need to be like Cui Dake, who used all means to make money. If he was caught one day, he would have to pay it back.

"That's my money, my money, you are not allowed to count it. It's not even a thousand yuan. A pair of leather shoes costs a dozen yuan. Are leather shoes that expensive? It's enough for our food expenses for two months~!"

When the deposit was mentioned, Qin Jingru's sensitive ears pricked up and she immediately became furious. She quickly covered Ma Hua's mouth, as if the walls had ears and she was afraid that someone would hear her and keep an eye on her.

"It's enough to have enough money. Spend it when you need it, buy things when you need it, but don't dream about things that you can't use. We should live our own lives and don't envy others. I'm timid, and I don't dare to spend money that comes from unknown sources even if you ask me to~!"

"In fact, things are much better now than they were a few years ago. At least we don't have to worry about going hungry. If we want to eat meat, we can go to the market and buy half a pound. Back then, I was just an ordinary cook who could only cut vegetables but not cook. If it weren't for Secretary Li, I might not even be able to afford to marry a wife."

"Now, it's not that we don't have money, we just save the money and don't spend it. Whether there is a thousand or not, this is what we saved. If we spend it, we will feel at ease. Your sister just doesn't feel at ease, so she has to show off to you and other families in the yard~!"

With his arms behind his head, Ma Hua is very content with his current life. He didn't live in such a big house before. The rooms in his house were separated by curtains and newspapers were pasted on the walls.

Now as the stationmaster of the dispatching station, if he wants to make money, it is not that he does not have the opportunity, but he must act with conscience. His master was conscientious even when he became a factory director. As an apprentice, he was able to achieve the current success thanks to the guidance of his master.

Life is not that hard to make a living, so why make things difficult for the poor? Don't get involved in any mess, just want peace of mind.

"Forget it, I won't buy them. I don't mind if the cloth shoes get dirty. I can repair them if they get worn out. But my sister didn't come to me just to show off. She seemed to have something to do with Liu Haizhong. As a result, Liu Haizhong was sent to the hospital. You don't know, the aunt was so scared at that time~!"

"Oh, do we still have to go to the hospital and spend money~!"

Ma Hua did not dare to be corrupt, and Qin Jingru could not force him to be corrupt. After all, he was still a cadre and could show off when he returned to his parents' home. If Liu Haizhong lost his job like he did now, it would not be worth it, especially when he thought about having to buy some things when visiting patients. It would be even more unprofitable.

"After all, we live next door to each other, so we have to show what we should show. Come on, don't be so stingy. Money can't make more money. You should spend it. You won't be able to live like your sister for long. You won't live in peace. If you show off too much, something bad will happen sooner or later.

After getting up, getting dressed, and finding out why Qin Huairu came to the backyard, Ma Hua felt that he should still tell Director Li about it. The strange freight station porter last night reminded him to pay attention to what Qin Huairu was doing.

Qin Jingru, who was conflicted and had already moved on from her leather shoes, also got up. But when she saw the old cloth shoes under the bed, her mouth fell flat again. Although she had figured it out, her body was very honest.

"Then I'm really going to buy a pair of leather shoes, just one pair~!"

"It's up to you, buy whatever you want~!"

After opening the door curtain, Ma Hua waved his hand indifferently. As long as he was not bothered with these trivial matters, everything could be discussed. The money was not with him anyway.

……

"Looking for the one in the bangs?"

In the ear room, Li Feng put his arms on the table. After listening to Ma Hua's description, he frowned and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

"Yes, Qin Huairu, is there something wrong? Secretary Li, when I woke up this morning, Jingru was jealous. She bought leather shoes, a handbag, and a bicycle. She has never spent so much money before, right?"

When she first came to this courtyard, Qin Huairu even sold all the furniture in Xu Damao's house. She would rather lose her face than give up, which shows how poor she was at that time.

Back then, people were not as extravagant as they are now. The collective housing unit was only affordable after they married Cui Dake. Now that they live so lavishly, even Ma Hua feels that it is a little abnormal.

"If your eyes turn red, just put it aside and fiddle with it. Do you want to learn from Cui Dake?"

"No, no, how dare I? I don't need this little money right now. If you hadn't helped me, I would probably still be cutting vegetables with Sha Zhu~!"

Ma Hua smiled awkwardly. Unexpectedly, Secretary Li could see through what Qin Jingru had just done at a glance.

"There are some things that you can't learn, or they'll kill you. Qin Jingru, you're still a little short-sighted. Next, let her open her eyes wide and take a good look~!"
