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

"As for the rumors that I am infertile, that is utter nonsense. It is Lou Xiao'e who is infertile, and she deliberately spreads rumors about me."

"I'm a film projectionist now. The salary isn't very high, but the hidden benefits are great. When I go to the countryside to show movies, the township leaders often treat me to meals. You're from the countryside too, so you should know this."

Qin Jingru knew, of course.

When they showed movies in the countryside, the young women and wives all admired the projectionists.

Being a film projectionist is a highly skilled job; not everyone can do it.

Hearing Xu Damao say such things, Qin Jingru's mind began to waver.

This Xu Damao started by talking about buying her clothes, then moved on to his salary, his job, how he would get Qin Jingru a city residency permit after they got married, and how he would find her a job in the city. He completely won Qin Jingru over.

Qin Huairu had already left. She waited outside for Qin Jingru and Xu Damao to exchange a few perfunctory words before she made an excuse, saying that Qin Jingru hadn't taken a liking to the other party, and that the matter was considered settled.

Even if Xu Damao had objections, he couldn't say anything about them.

But now, she heard the two people inside getting more and more into conversation, and they were talking more and more, so she couldn't help but lean against the window to listen.

Upon hearing this, I was completely stunned.

Xu Damao and Qin Jingru found themselves getting along better and better.

How can this be done?

Deep down, Qin Huairu didn't want Qin Jingru to marry Xu Damao. Xu Damao was too calculating and scheming.

Qin Jingru is just a young girl; she'll be completely fooled by Xu Damao.

Most importantly, Xu Damao is truly infertile.

Qin Huairu grew anxious, knocked on the door, and went inside.

"Jingru, it's getting late. You have to rush back this afternoon. Let's leave it at that for now."

To everyone's surprise, Qin Jingru's face turned rosy.

"Sis, Da Mao said he's going to take me shopping for clothes this afternoon."

Qin Huairu never expected things to develop so quickly.

Chapter 87 Xu Damao's smugness

Xu Damao and Qin Jingru were chatting so amiably that Qin Jingru had to admire Xu Damao's silver tongue!

No wonder Xu Damao was able to hook up with so many women at the factory; his eloquence is truly something else.

In less than twenty minutes, he managed to persuade Qin Jingru.

Of course, Qin Jingru was an innocent young girl, a country girl who had never seen the world, so this was understandable.

"Jingru, I'll tell you later."

"Da Mao, now that you two have met, I've done as you asked."

"How about this? You go home first, and I'll tell you the result in a bit."

Xu Damao knew exactly what Qin Huairu was thinking.

But he believed he had already won over Qin Jingru and successfully brainwashed her, so nothing Qin Huairu said would work.

"Okay, then I'll go home and wait for your good news."

Xu Damao gave Qin Huairu a meaningful look, then left.

After Xu Damao left, Qin Huairu pulled Qin Jingru aside and asked her anxiously.

"Silly girl, didn't I tell you? I asked you to come here for a blind date, just to go through the motions. Here's two yuan, and I'll give you some money for your trip. You should go home now."

Qin Huairu still thought Qin Jingru was the same little girl she used to be, who always listened to her.

But now Qin Jingru has developed feelings for Xu Damao, and Qin Huairu keeps urging her on, which makes Qin Jingru very unhappy.

"Sister, let me tell you. Da Mao just told me that it's Lou Xiao'e who can't have children, it has nothing to do with Da Mao."

"He has a good job and good benefits. Working with him means living a life of luxury. What's wrong with that?"

Qin Jingru blushed and said to Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu interrupted her immediately.

"You little brat, what do you know? You were fooled by Xu Da Mao in just a few words."

"Everyone in this compound knows that Xu Damao's character is the worst. He has a long line of women he's been having affairs with at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

"We've lived in the same hospital for so many years, do you understand him better than me?"

These words, coming from Qin Huairu's mouth, surprised Qin Jingru.

Perhaps she was trying to determine whether Qin Huairu was telling the truth or not?

That's right, she was just going through the motions today. But Xu Damao was naturally good at pleasing women, and his words were very pleasing to the ear, often making Qin Jingru laugh.

Qin Jingru, who had never had much contact with men, was not able to resist such teasing.

"Sister, is everything you said true?"

Qin Huairu grabbed Qin Jingru.

“We’re from the same village, and we’re even related by marriage. How could I possibly lie to you about something as important as marriage?”

"Silly girl, you must not be fooled by Xu Damao."

Qin Huairu's words helped Qin Jingru regain some of her composure.

"Hey girl, here's some money, take it and head back to your hometown."

As she spoke, Qin Huairu took out two yuan and gave it to Qin Jingru.

To Qin Jingru, her actions seemed like she was being asked to leave.

"Sister, how about I stay at your house tonight and leave tomorrow?"

Qin Jingru had a well-thought-out plan. After staying at their house for one night, she would inquire around the courtyard the next day to see if Xu Damao was as bad as Qin Huairu had said.

Qin Jingru had made up her mind not to leave today, and Qin Huairu couldn't force her.

"Alright then. But after tonight, you'll have to leave first thing tomorrow morning."

……

Over here, after leaving Qin Huairu's house, Xu Damao felt confident of victory.

As he hurried from the front yard to his own home in the back yard, he frequently encountered elderly residents of the courtyard house along the way.

Some busybodies started to inquire.

"Da Mao, how did your blind date go today? Did the girl like you?"

At this point, Xu Damao already felt that victory was within his grasp.

"She's taken a liking to me, so I'm going to buy her some clothes this afternoon."

Xu Damao said smugly.

The person who asked the question was immediately stunned.

"Really? Xu Damao, she's a virgin."

"She looked quite pretty."

Xu Damao's eyes widened.

"So what do you mean? My conditions aren't bad either. I'm 1.8 meters tall, I have double eyelids, and my job as a movie projectionist is pretty good. How am I lacking?"

Everyone in the compound knew that Xu Damao was vengeful, so no one dared to say anything.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. You two look like a perfect match, when are we going to have your wedding candy?"

The man's tone immediately changed, and Xu Damao's expression softened.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely be able to eat wedding candy before the Spring Festival this year."

Xu Damao spoke with such conviction that it seemed Qin Jingru was determined to marry no one but him.

Along the way, many people asked Xu Damao, who was boasting so much, as if they were about to consummate their marriage.

Sha Zhu stood at his own door, cracking sunflower seeds, and kept pouring cold water on Xu Damao.

"You're dreaming if you think you can eat wedding candy before the New Year. Xu Damao, your seed planter is broken, no wonder it won't sprout."

"Da Mao, if you need any help, just let me know. I'm a living Lei Feng."

Sha Zhu said jokingly, and Xu Damao naturally understood that he meant to cuckold him.

He pointed at Sha Zhu's face.

"I'm warning you, you silly Zhu, if you keep spouting nonsense and ruin my plans, you'll be sorry."

Xu Damao couldn't beat Sha Zhu in a fight, so he could only resort to threats.

"I even ate at the same table as Director Yang. If I wanted to deal with you, it would be as easy as drinking cold water."

Sha Zhu patted his chest confidently.

"Come on, try and teach me a lesson? Before you teach me a lesson, Grandpa will teach you a lesson first and cripple you."

Xu Damao didn't dare to confront Sha Zhu head-on; a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle.

Besides, he's in a good mood right now.

……

Meanwhile, Li Jianjun was among the crowd of onlookers.

Looking at this scene, Li Jianjun muttered to himself.

"So, Qin Jingru has already been swayed by Xu Damao. This won't do; we have to find a way to break them up."

Li Jianjun didn't care whether what he was doing was ethical or not. Compared to those beasts in the courtyards, he was just throwing water around.

Furthermore, after Qin Jingru married Xu Damao, she found a job, but she and Xu Damao never had any children.

Li Jianjun did this to save Qin Jingru.

Just as he was thinking this, a figure suddenly flashed past his doorstep.

Li Jianjun chased after her to see what was happening, and found it was Qin Jingru.
