Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

"Wow, you're just a country bumpkin, and you dare to talk back?" Jia Zhang said as she stood up.

Qin Jingru retreated a little in fear. After all, she had never seen the world and was full of fear of city people.

Seeing this, Lin Shaowen reached out and pulled her behind him, smiling and said, "Jia Zhang, if I remember correctly, your household registration booklet is on a separate page, right?"

"Ha~"

When everyone heard this, they all started laughing, not knowing what they were thinking of.

"You little beast, how dare you collude with outsiders to bully me?" Jia Zhang glared.

"Outsider?" Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and passed it around before laughing, "Who here was born in the city? Whose three generations ago were not farmers?"

"Lin Shaowen, weren't you born in Beijing?" Sha Zhu, who had sobered up, said with some resentment.

Chapter 159: Trivia in the Compound

"And there is Lou Xiao'e. She was also born in Beijing." Xu Damao said, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

“Go away, my ancestral home is not in this Forty-Nine City.” Lin Shaowen scolded with a smile, “As for Xiao E…she doesn’t count either, her ancestral home is not in the Forty-Nine City either.”

"Lin Shaowen, you have married a beautiful wife, but your nephew is still single." Yan Bugui said with a smile, "As an uncle, you should at least make some arrangements for your nephew, right?"

"Yan Laoxi, what you said is not right." Second Aunt said dissatisfiedly, "Your Jiefang is still studying, but my Guangfu is already a grown-up."

"The boss is already an adult but he's still a slacker and doesn't even have a proper job." The third aunt started to stab him.

"If it weren't for Lin Shaowen's help, your Yan Jiecheng would still be working as a temporary worker." The second aunt said unconvinced.

"That's because his uncle loves him." Yan Bugui said disdainfully, "If your Guangfu had a good uncle, this job wouldn't be easy for him."

"Old Yan, what you said is not right." Liu Haizhong frowned and said, "You want your Yan Jiecheng to recognize the thief as his father, but I don't want that..."

"and many more……"

Lin Shaowen interrupted the discussion of several people and said, "Just talk properly. Why are you even 'taking the thief as your father'?"

"Lin Shaowen, just tell me the truth, can you say something about Qin Jingru's matter?" Liu Haizhong said arrogantly.

"Liu Haizhong, are you sick?" Lin Shaowen frowned and said, "I don't owe you anything. It's your own business for your son to get married. Why are you dragging me into this?"

"Lin Shaowen, how do you talk to your elders like that?" Yi Zhonghai scolded.

"Then how should I talk?" Lin Shaowen looked at Yi Zhonghai with a smile and said, "I will kowtow to you three times and nine times at your doorstep tomorrow, and then burn some food for you?"

"you……"

Yi Zhonghai was immediately furious, but he could do nothing about Lin Shaowen.

If it were anyone else, he would have asked Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu to take action long ago, but his opponent is Lin Shaowen... Even if he was willing, Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu were not stupid. Could it be that they were not afraid of being beaten?

Liu Haizhong's face turned pale and he didn't want to talk to Lin Shaowen anymore.

When others saw this, they were quite angry that he didn't fight back.

What are you afraid of? Just fight Lin Shaowen.

"Sister Jingru." Sha Zhu shouted desperately, "I am not well off, but I have two big houses... When my sister gets married tomorrow, these two houses will be mine. The salary is not that good, but 38.5 yuan a month, which is enough to support a family."

"If you're willing, let's get along for a while and get to know each other. If it doesn't work out, we'll see when the time comes. Do you think that's okay?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked.

I didn't realize that this silly guy is so eloquent.

Qin Jingru glanced at Sha Zhu's sincere tone and felt a little shaken.

She is indeed not young anymore and it is time for her to get married. Her family is also making arrangements for her.

But she knew that after Qin Huairu married and moved to the city, she became more arrogant and looked down on those boys from the country. She also wanted to marry and move to the city like Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu's conditions are indeed good, but... you can't just look at the conditions when getting married, right? This Sha Zhu looks like her father. If she stands next to her father, people will believe that they are brothers.

Lin Shaowen glanced at Qin Jingru, but Qin Jingru shook her head slightly.

"Shazhu, you're questioning a girl in public. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "How do you want her to answer you? Are you willing to be with you or not?"

"Yes, Shazhu, you've gone too far." Xu Damao jumped out and shouted.

"Then... Sister Jingru, please think about it." Sha Zhu said a little embarrassedly.

Qin Jingru didn't say anything. She glanced around and saw Qin Peiru who was coming out to pour water. She was shocked.

Originally everyone was looking at her, but when they saw her looking at Qin Peiru, they couldn't help but ponder.

"Qin Peiru, the girl from your Qinjia Village is here." The second aunt shouted.

Qin Peiru trembled all over, then looked at Qin Jingru, feeling a little sad.

After she gave birth to Huaihua, she was no longer liked by Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu at home. If Qin Jingru let the secret slip, her life would be even more miserable.

"Jingru."

Lin Shaowen turned his back to everyone and shook his head at Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru was slightly startled, and then she called out obediently, "Sister Peiru."

"Qin Jingru, Qin Peiru? You are also sisters?" the third aunt asked curiously.

"We are from the same village, but we live quite far apart." Qin Peiru explained, "Jingru and Huairu are cousins, and we can only be considered distant relatives."

"Oh."

Everyone understands.

It is normal to be related to each other since we live in the same village.

"Jingru, why are you not going back with the branch secretary so late? What are you doing here?" Qin Peiru frowned.

"My father asked me to live in Brother Lin's house." Qin Jingru said with a red face.

"The branch secretary is kidding. How can he let a grown-up girl like you live in a strange man's home?" Qin Peiru said with a serious face.

"Qin Peiru, do you think I'm dead?" Lou Xiao'e said dissatisfiedly, "Not to mention that I'm still at home, with Shao Wen's style, it's fine for Jingru to move in even if I'm not at home."

These words caused everyone to fall silent.

Lin Shaowen can be criticized for anything, but his work style is the only thing he can't criticize. When he was still a young man, Qin Huairu, a delicate beauty, lived next door to his home, and nothing happened between them.

What's more, we now have Lou Xiao'e.

"Okay, it's late, go back and rest." Lin Shaowen stood up and shouted as he passed by Jia Zhang, "Jia Zhang, look, Old Jia is flying in the sky..."

Everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

"You little beast, you scared me to death." Jia Zhang slapped her chest and said.

"Lin Shaowen, my mother didn't offend you this time." Jia Dongxu said with a gloomy face.

Lin Shaowen spread his hands and took Qin Jingru and Lou Xiaoe directly to the backyard.

Jia Zhang moved her lips slightly and cursed Lin Shaowen.

West wing backyard.

After Lou Xiao'e turned on the air conditioner, warm air immediately came out from the vents, blowing away the coldness of the three people.

"You sleep with your sister-in-law these two days, and I will sleep in the study." Lin Shaowen said casually, "Xiao E, I leave her to you."

"Well, you go and rest first."

After Lou Xiao'e hugged Lin Shaowen, she began to get Qin Jingru some clean clothes and towels.

Qin Jingru tilted her head, feeling the hot air, looking at the bright bedroom, the glowing furniture and the fragrant big bed, and her head couldn't help feeling dizzy.

She never thought that life in the city could be so luxurious.

When Lou Xiao'e told her how to use a water heater to take a bath, she was even more incredulous. She could actually go to the toilet at home and take a hot bath without boiling water...

Qin Jingru stood under the shower, soaked in boiling hot water, and couldn't help sighing. Although it was wrong, she envied Lou Xiaoe very much.

Without the trouble of her parents-in-law, with enough food and clothing, and a handsome and considerate husband, this is the life she never dared to dream of.

Chapter 160 Asking for leave

Qin Jingru was wearing Lou Xiao'e's silk pajamas and lying on the soft big bed, not daring to move.

"Jingru, be more relaxed." Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "When Shaowen went to the countryside, thanks to your father's care, we are all family now."

"Well, thank you, sister-in-law." Qin Jingru turned over, looked at Lou Xiao'e's belly and said, "Sister-in-law, you are...about to give birth, right?"

"Yeah, almost."

Lou Xiao'e touched her belly, it's almost eight months now.

"Brother Lin is so good to you." Qin Jingru said again.

"I know." Lou Xiao'e also turned her head to look over and said with a smile, "Jingru, if you think Shazhu is not suitable, then don't date him... The people in this courtyard are weird."

"I don't like Shazhu." Qin Jingru shook her head. "He's too old. When I see him, I think of my dad."

Pfft!

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help laughing.

The two chatted for a while before falling into a deep sleep.

The next day.

When Lin Shaowen got up, he found Qin Jingru was already busy in the kitchen.

He thought about it and walked into the bedroom, but found that Lou Xiao'e was still sleeping. When she heard his footsteps, she woke up lazily.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Shaowen asked with concern.

"I don't know. I've been feeling a bit lazy lately."

Lou Xiao'e opened her arms and motioned for Lin Shaowen to hug her.

"You are eight months pregnant now, just rest at home." Lin Shaowen rubbed her head and said, "I will go to the factory to ask for leave for you... You can go back to work after you give birth."

"Isn't this bad?" Lou Xiao'e said with some difficulty, "I heard from Sister Li that some workers are still working for nine months, working until the day they give birth."

"That's someone else." Lin Shaowen kissed her and then smiled, "I can't control other people's wives, but I can control you. Listen to me and rest at home. I'll go to the factory to ask for leave for you. If you want to go out, take Qin Jingru to visit the city."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lou Xiao'e smiled.

"Brother Lin, sister-in-law, time for breakfast." Qin Jingru shouted at the door.

"coming."

Lin Shaowen agreed and began to help Lou Xiaoe put clothes on.

half an hour.

The two of them walked into the study and started eating.

"Jingru, it's not snowing today. I'll ask your sister-in-law to take you to the supply and marketing cooperative later." Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, doesn't she have to go to work?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

"She took a long vacation and is resting at home."

After Lin Shaowen finished his noodles, he hugged Lou Xiaoe and then pushed the cart out.

compound.

"Hey, Lin Shaowen, why are you alone here?" Sha Zhu asked curiously.

"Xiao'e is about to give birth, so she plans to take a long vacation and go back to work after the birth." Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"After all, you are a daughter of a wealthy family, and you are precious." Jia Zhang said sarcastically, "What woman doesn't work until the day she dies? It's only been a few months, and you're already asking for a long vacation."

"I can't control other people's women, but I can control my own women, right?" Lin Shaowen looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Jia Zhang, you are as fat as a ball. You stay at home to gain weight every day. Why don't you go to the streets and find a job?"

"You little bastard, you are the one who is fattening up." Jia Zhang was immediately furious, "I have a son who supports me and gives me pension money every month, you are just jealous."

"Why do I feel that you are talking to an old man?" Lin Shaowen said thoughtfully.

"Lin Shaowen, are you looking for a fight so early in the morning?" Yi Zhonghai said with a dark face.

"Isn't this what Jia Zhang said?" Lin Shaowen said embarrassedly.

"You are a deputy minister, why do you flirt with a bunch of old women every day?" Yi Zhonghai scolded, "Why don't you go back to work? You are causing trouble every day."
