Chapter 77: Qin Jingru is in Control

Although the foolish Zhu used to beat him up, he would always mock him verbally. But this time, Zeng Xiaoxian's calmness was scary.
Especially that look, it still sends chills down Xu Damao's spine.
A biting dog doesn't bark, that's a well-known fact. The calmness of the foolish pillar also puzzles Xu Damao, making him hesitant to act rashly.
He also didn't want his old rival Shazu to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, so he had to think long-term.
In the face of Qin Huairu's murderous gaze, Xu Damao greeted the beauty and left a good impression in Qin Jingru's eyes.
虽然没有了许大茂插手捣乱，但曾小贤一时半会儿也来不了，秦淮茹只能先将秦京茹带回家等着了。
曾小贤也不是故意让她们等，放完电影后，领导们照例要搓一顿，他这个手艺最好的大师傅又被留下了。
只希望赶紧把马华教出徒，让他这个师傅可以解脱出来。
此时，贾家除了秦淮茹和她表妹秦京茹，就只有贾张氏在家。
Qin Jingru came in a hurry. She heard from her cousin that she could marry into the city, so she hurriedly came.
She only knows the name of the person, but she doesn't know the specific situation. Now that she has time, she might as well ask.
"Sister, can you tell me specifically? Can you introduce that person to me? What is his family like?"
"How many people are there in his family? What are his parents' temperaments? Will they look down on me, a rural girl?"
"And, does he have money?"
Suddenly, Qin Huairu hurriedly stopped her, all this chattering, she didn't know which answer to give.
"You're asking one question after another, you've made me dizzy. Just got off the car and rushed home, can't you let me catch my breath!"
Jia Zhangshi came over with a water bottle and poured two glasses of water for them, and also picked up Qin Jingru’s conversation.
As for matchmaking Zeng Xiaoxian and Qin Jingru, she showed much more enthusiasm than her daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu.
"Jingru, let your sister catch her breath. She has been working all day and went to pick you up. She's indeed quite tired. If you have any questions, ask me."
Qin Jingru thinks city people are delicate. She works hard every day in the countryside, earning a few work points, which is much more tiring than her sister, but she earns far less than her sister.
So... she also wanted to live such a pampered life.
She particularly longed to marry and come to the city. Her sister Qin Huairu has been the subject of envy for the people in their hometown because she could live in Beijing.
Qin Jingru also regarded her cousin as her life goal, vowing to marry into the Forty-Nine City.
After sorting out her emotions, she asked the most important question to Jia Zhangshi.
"Auntie, do you think He Yuzhu has money?"
Jia Zhangshi was opened up by this question and immediately revealed all about Silly Zhu's situation.
"Don't worry, marrying Silly Zhu is definitely not wrong. His monthly salary is only 37.5 yuan, and he can never spend it all by himself."
"There are only dumb pillars and his sister at home, and his sister is about to get married. When the house is left, it will still belong to him, right?"
"He is still the master chef in the cafeteria kitchen. He brings back chicken, duck, fish, and meat every day. He can cook them in different ways to satisfy your taste buds. How delightful!"
"Look, with money and a house, you don't have to worry about food and drink. We found such a good family for you!"
Qin Jingru was so excited by Jia Zhangshi's words that her eyes were shining. However, Qin Huairu, who was watching on the side, felt a bit uneasy and had a feeling of something being taken away from her.
With his apprentice Ma Hua assisting him, Xue Xiaoxian quickly stir-fried several dishes to complete the task.
He casually ordered something from the canteen and rode his bike back home while it was still light outside.
However, he didn't rush to find Qin Jingru, but went back to his room first, put on the new clothes he bought, and even specially styled his hair before he came to the Jia family, carrying a lunch box.
It is normal for someone to help introduce a partner and expect a meal in return.
But eating with the Jia family is another matter. Looking at their sneering faces, he lost his appetite.
When Zeng Xiaoxian entered carrying a lunchbox, their whole family was gathered around the living room table, chatting and waiting.
Jia Zhangshi was the one speaking, while the rest of them listened with great interest, and what she was talking about was related to Shazhu.
He didn't disturb and stood quietly by the door, listening to Jia Zhangshi finish speaking.
"So, that fool bumped into a passing merchant after leaving behind two injured soldiers, and sold all the buns to him."
Shazhu ran home with sweat pouring down his face and handed the money he made from selling buns to his dad. His dad counted the money and guess what, it was all fake. His dad was so angry that he hopped around and scolded Shazhu for being foolish...
"From then on, the nickname 'silly pillar' started to spread. At first, he didn't like it, but later he got used to it."
"After hearing this, Qin Jingru suddenly realized, 'So that's what happened. He wasn't really silly, he was just a kid and how could he have known if the money was counterfeit or not!'"
Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Of course not silly, everyone just got used to calling him that."
Everyone was engrossed in the story when Huaixiao noticed Zeng Xiaoxian coming in. She shouted, "Silly Uncle is here, there must be something delicious."
They were all brought back to their senses by Huaihua's singing, and they all turned to look at Zeng Xiaoxian.
Qin Jingru looked at the talented Zeng Xiaoxian and was also very satisfied, feeling shy to speak.
Still it was Xiang Xiaoxian who spoke first
"Jing Ru, since you came all the way here for a blind date with me, I can't treat you badly. While it's still early, I'll take her out to buy some presents and have a meal outside."
"These chicken and pork, let you guys have them for dinner."
Jia Zhangshi immediately took the box full of fatty meat and said happily.
"You guys go, you don't need to worry about us, it's okay even if you come back late, we'll keep the door for you."
Hearing that Sha Zhu wanted to give her a gift, Qin Jingru blushed and followed Zeng Xiaoxian out of the courtyard.
Zeng Xiaoxian has always been one to keep his word, he took Qin Jingru to the mall and bought her a red Nini coat and a pair of leather shoes.
After putting it on, Qin Jingru's entire temperament changed, and with a different hairstyle, she looked like a typical city girl.
Then, Zeng Xiaoxian took Qin Jingru to eat mutton hot pot.
This whole set was done according to Xu Damao's flirting process. Since Xu Damao was able to win over Qin Jingru with this, why couldn't Zeng Xiaoxian?
Moreover, isn't the amount of knowledge that Zeng Xiaoxian possesses not much more than that of someone who just makes movies?
During dinner, he made Qin Jingru laugh so hard that they even agreed to have Peking duck together tomorrow.
After finishing the meal and on the way back, Xeng Xian took out a 100 yuan bill and handed it to Qin Jingru, saying,
"Girl, I like you. Whether we become something or not, you have to keep this money. Consider it as pocket money from your big brother."
But you have to be willing to follow me, and I promise you can be as happy as today every day."
Qin Jingru has never been so extravagant in her life. She bought new clothes, treated herself to a hot pot meal, and even received money in the end.
I am completely conquered by Zeng Xiaoxian's extravagance and lack of humanity. I wish I could offer myself to him right now.
If it weren't for the overly conservative social atmosphere of this era, Zeng Xiaoxian would have taken the first blood tonight.
Finally, with a reluctant look in his eyes, he sent Qin Jingru back to the Jia family.
