Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

Sha Zhu's attitude put Yu Shui at ease.

However, if he doesn't marry Qin Huairu, he will definitely have to marry a young girl.

He used to look down on Qin Jingru for being a country girl, but now that he's divorced, Qin Jingru seems like a good alternative.

Shazhu and Yushui tidied up the house. They knew the door was no longer needed, so they would buy a new one tomorrow.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu was sleeping on the outside while Yu Shui was sleeping on the inside, so the house where Yu Shui lived was fine.

"Go to sleep, Rainwater. I'm not sleeping tonight."

Sha Zhu lay on the bed and lit a cigarette, unable to fall asleep any longer. The image of Qin Jingru's graceful figure kept appearing before his eyes.

To be honest, Qin Jingru is a really lovely girl.

Her small mouth was tiny, her big, watery eyes seemed to speak volumes, and her fair skin was so delicate it was almost translucent.

Especially her figure; as she walked, the big pomelo swayed from side to side.

Sha Zhu felt an itch in his heart, like a kitten scratching at him. He really wished Qin Jingru would appear in front of him right now and he could pull her into his arms.

……

But while he was talking about Qin Jingru, Qin Jingru, who lived next door, had a very bad impression of Sha Zhu.

"Sister, you know, this silly Zhu really is stupid. I wonder who he offended this time, because they burned down his front door."

Qin Huairu hadn't received any help from Sha Zhu for a long time, and she was getting angry.

"Who knows? He just said in front of everyone that he offended someone while he was at the police station."

"The Iron Rod Gang, that doesn't sound like a legitimate organization. They've probably offended some powerful people again."

"With that foul mouth of his, he'll get into trouble sooner or later."

Qin Jingru now looked down on Sha Zhu even more.

"It seems that the name 'Silly Zhu' wasn't given for nothing. His brain has just gone mad."

While Qin Jingru was criticizing Sha Zhu in her mind, Li Jianjun's image was actually on her mind.

Li Jianjun is such a good person. He is humble and, despite holding such a high position, he still speaks to ordinary people in a kind and gentle manner.

Most importantly, Li Jianjun also found a job for Qin Jingru.

After bringing him home, her parents praised their prospective son-in-law and even asked Qin Jingru when she would get engaged to Li Jianjun.

Qin Jingru was secretly delighted; she did want to get engaged to Li Jianjun.

However, Li Jianjun had not yet spoken.

"By the way, Jingru, I heard that you brought Li Jianjun home? And you even told people that Li Jianjun is your boyfriend."

"Did Li Jianjun really agree to marry you?"

When this issue was brought up, Qin Jingru's face darkened.

Qin Huairu really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

"No!...Not yet? But I believe Jianjun will get engaged and married to me sooner or later."

Qin Jingru spoke with absolute certainty, as if she were very confident.

Qin Huairu snorted.

"You don't actually think that Li Jianjun found you a job because he's interested in you, do you?"

"Let me remind you, a lot of women are interested in Li Jianjun. For example, Yu Haitang, the beauty of our steel mill, has also taken a liking to Li Jianjun."

"And Ran Qiurui, who has been conducting research at our steel plant these past few days, seems to have feelings for Li Jianjun as well."

"Which of them isn't prettier, more educated, and from a better family than you? You're just a country girl. Don't have such unrealistic dreams."

Qin Huairu meant well, but Qin Jingru was currently immersed in the joy of marrying Li Jianjun, and she felt that Qin Huairu was just pouring cold water on her.

"Sister, what's wrong with me? I'm not bad-looking. So what if I'm not educated? But I'm understanding."

“I have a job now, and I’m in charge of everything inside and outside the company. Why would Li Jianjun look down on me?”

This left Qin Huairu speechless.

"Okay, okay, it's true that they're interested in you. I was wrong."

"I'm just waiting to eat your wedding candy. I'll be watching closely to see you two get married while I'm still alive."

Qin Jingru snorted, knowing that Qin Huairu wouldn't say anything nice.

"There's no point in talking when we don't see eye to eye." "Hmph. Anyway, I'm going to take down Li Jianjun. Just you wait and see."

Qin Jingru stuck out her bottom and went straight to sleep.

……

Despite Qin Huairu's setbacks, Qin Jingru not only did not lose confidence, but was instead inspired to fight with high morale.

"I refuse to believe that I'm inferior to those city girls."

When Qin Jingru woke up the next day, she looked at herself in the mirror from left to right and felt that she was much prettier than Ran Qiurui and Yu Haitang.

Chapter 177 Qin Huairu Strikes Back at Qin Jingru

The only thing she lacks now is dressing up.

Although she had been working at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill for two months, she still couldn't hide her rustic, rural air.

She firmly believed that as long as she knew how to dress herself up and dressed fashionably, Li Jianjun would definitely like her.

Qin Jingru is a woman of action. Taking advantage of the fact that it was Sunday, she invited one of her girlfriends from the courtyard to go shopping with her.

She now has two months' salary, more than forty yuan, and she decided to use it to dress herself up nicely.

“Jingru, I actually think your features and temperament are quite good, it’s just that you lack dressing up.”

"You made the right choice asking me to come and go shopping with you today."

The girl who accompanied her to the street was named Han Yan, and everyone in the courtyard called her Yanzi (Swallow).

She also works at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, but unfortunately she is very ordinary-looking, though she likes to dress up.

She was dressed in fashionable clothes, and her hair was curled in neat rows with her own tongs, making her practically the epitome of fashion.

She and Qin Jingru usually have a good relationship.

His words praised Qin Jingru to the skies.

"Right, I also think I'm very beautiful."

That day, Yanzi accompanied Qin Jingru to shop all over the city, and finally bought Qin Jingru a new outfit, as well as face cream, perfume and other cosmetics.

This trip cost Qin Jingru more than ten yuan, which made her very distressed.

"Yanzi, this is too expensive."

Coming from the countryside, the clothes she usually wears are made by her mother, and the cost of buying the fabric is only a few cents.

The clothes I'm wearing now cost ten yuan in total.

And that perfume, it's only two yuan a bottle, ridiculously expensive.

"Jingru, didn't you take a liking to Li Jianjun? What's a little money to spend?"

"If you marry Li Jianjun in the future, you'll have plenty of money, and you'll live the life of a wealthy lady."

With just a few words, Yanzi made Qin Jingru extremely happy.

“You’re right, Swallow.”

……

That evening, Qin Jingru wore brand-new clothes, applied face cream to her body, and even curled her hair with fire tongs, just like Yanzi.

She looked at herself in the mirror from left to right and always felt that she was prettier than Yu Haitang and Ran Qiurui.

Women are just women, aren't they? They're meant to get married, have children, and do housework. What's the point of having such a high level of education?

The more Qin Huairu provoked him, the more Qin Jingru wanted to prove herself to her and the more she wanted to marry Li Jianjun so that Qin Huairu could see what she was capable of.

Today, Qin Huairu led the stalks, locust flowers, and school supplies back to her parents' home in the countryside early in the morning.

It's as if she's now living alone in Qin Huairu's house.

Qin Jingru then had an idea.

She had bought all the clothes and put on makeup; she wanted Li Jianjun to see if she was pretty.

She desperately wanted Li Jianjun's approval.

At this moment, Li Jianjun was fast asleep at home when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't used up all his strategy points.

He remembered that after finishing his business with Li Ying and her daughter last time, he received 400 strategy points, which he hadn't used.

With nothing to do at home on the weekend, Li Jianjun started spinning the lucky draw wheel.

He doesn't always win what he wants in every lottery draw.

He has 400 strategy points left, enough to support him to draw the prize four times.

The first time, he drew a roll of toilet paper, which was still a daily necessity, so Li Jianjun didn't think it was too little.

The second time, he drew a bag of rice, which would last him at least a month or two, so he didn't lose anything.

The third time, he drew a bag of ginger. With winter approaching, it would be perfect for boiling it into a drink.

The fourth time, Li Jianjun initially thought it was some daily necessities, vegetables, or food, but it turned out to be a body-strengthening pill.

Li Jianjun couldn't wait to complete the body enhancement monotony.

"Body Enhancement Pill, after taking it, can greatly improve the host's various bodily functions."

"For example, speed endurance, resistance, and immunity can all be improved."

This is a good thing. Li Jianjun put the reddish-brown pill directly into his mouth, poured some boiled water on it, and swallowed it.

At first, my body didn't react much, but after a while, I started to feel itchy.

Li Jianjun couldn't help but scratch his body. As he scratched, his fingernails were black, which disgusted him.
