In theory, she should be called sister-in-law, but people in the courtyard are used to calling her Sister Qin.

I just followed the crowd and didn't receive any special treatment.

"Hello, Sister Qin, this is Su Ting. I just got back from the army. You must have just gotten off work. Haven't the kids gotten out of school yet?"

"Sigh, that kid Banggeng has gone off to play somewhere again."

What are you busy with? Sister Qin, let me help you!

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and walked over, his eyes glancing at the meat on the table every now and then. Su Ting did not refuse upon hearing this.

Having such an attractive single woman by your side can certainly help alleviate boredom.

This way, he can save some energy and enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of him.

After all, Qin Huairu's figure is undeniably stunning.

Her body trembles slightly when she walks. You say she doesn't eat much or well, so how can she maintain such a plump figure?

Perhaps because she had left in a hurry when she returned, her fair cheeks were slightly flushed.

Those almond-shaped eyes were so bright and captivating.

No wonder Sha Zhu was so infatuated with her. He casually handed his kitchen knife to Qin Huairu.

"Thank you so much, Sister Qin. I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted as well as beautiful."

"You can chop the meat for me, I'll go prepare the other vegetables first."

Qin Huairu took the cleaver and began chopping the meat. The table in Su Ting's house was not high, so she had to bend over to work.

Qin Huairu was already outstanding in her own right, and now she stood opposite Su Ting, bending down.

The scene with the rise and fall of the movements was simply too beautiful.

Qin Huairu spoke to Su Ting while she was busy.

"Look at what you're saying, you're so good at sweet-talking people, I wonder how many young girls will be fooled by you."

What are you going to do with all this meat? Are you going to make steamed buns again?

You can't eat that much, why don't you share some with my sister Qin?

I have three children who haven't eaten meat in a long time. How about I do your laundry as a way of repaying you?

"Oh dear! How could I trouble you, Sister Qin, with all this trouble!"

Besides, although I just retired from the military, I'm still a grown man.

If word gets out that I asked you to do my laundry, those who know us will be fine.

Those who don't know, who knows what kind of gossip will spread! How am I supposed to find a partner and get married then?

"This meat! Actually, it's because I just moved into this courtyard and haven't properly greeted everyone yet."

So I'm planning to make some meatballs so everyone can try some meat.

After I finish making them, I'll deliver a few to each household and get to know my neighbors.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu looked at the meat on the table and said, unwilling to give up.

"You have so much pork to make meatballs, you definitely won't use it all. Give some of the rest to my sister Qin!"

Look at me, I have three children and I've lost my husband, so life is pretty tough.

Even the mice are starving and have to move away. Please, I'm begging you, help my sister Qin!

As she spoke, she slowly moved closer to Su Ting and touched his arm with her shoulder.

Hey, since you've come to me of your own accord, I won't be polite.

Su Ting glanced outside the door to make sure no one was watching, then wiped his hands and put his arm around Qin Huairu's waist.

"Then you absolutely cannot let the rats take this meat away, after all, it's a main dish!"

"But your family is definitely having a tough time. Your mother-in-law, she's gotten so thin she's almost down to less than 200 pounds!"

Qin Huairu was speechless after Su Ting's blunt remark, unsure of how to respond.

"This meat is for entertaining my guests."

Look at those cement pipes and stuff outside my door. That's right, I'm planning to renovate the house.

I've invited my three uncles over tonight to sit at my house and let them know in advance.

I'm only making this one dish tonight, and the portion is just right. Besides, Sister Qin, you also have some of these meatballs at home.

Like everyone else, I can't let them talk about me behind my back as being stingy, can I?

As he spoke, he began to gesticulate wildly.

Upon hearing Su Ting's words, Qin Huairu glanced towards the door and then whispered to Su Ting.

"Little brother, please, I'm begging you. I'm really at my wit's end. Give me some meat, and I'll definitely remember your kindness."

I heard you don't have a girlfriend yet! I have a cousin who's really pretty; I'll introduce you to her sometime.

After saying that, he winked at Su Ting.

Upon hearing this, Su Ting thought to himself, "She must be talking about Qin Jingru. Qin Jingru is indeed quite beautiful."

But Su Ting still felt it wasn't appropriate to get married now, so he leaned close to Qin Huairu's ear and whispered:

"Sister Qin, I think you're delirious from the heat. Luckily, I have a thermometer here."

Come see me tonight, and I'll take your temperature. After that, you'll be better.

I'll give you some meat then, and we can chat about you introducing me to someone. What do you think?

Qin Huairu broke free from Su Ting's embrace and glared at him.

Although she didn't understand why Su Ting said he had a fever, she thought that Su Ting had finally agreed to give her meat.

Without thinking further, he happily told Su Ting.

"Alright, little brother, it's settled then. I'll come to you for meat tonight."

I'll tell you all about my sister then, and I guarantee you'll like it.

"Qin Huairu's mood value increased by 3 points."

Su Ting smiled slightly after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Do you think you can still leave? You probably won't even dare to call for help then!"

A widow sneaks into a single young man's room in the middle of the night, and given his special status...

Once people find out, they'll just say that this widow couldn't stand being alone and came to seduce someone.

At that time, all he had to do was put on an innocent, honest, and dull appearance.

He firmly believed that Qin Huairu was a smart woman, and that no matter what happened, she wouldn't dare to shout.

Seeing that the minced meat was ready, Su Ting instructed Qin Huairu to go to the yard to wash the vegetables.

He then began preparing the seasonings and flour, and started making meatballs.

With Qin Huairu's help, the meatballs were quickly made.

Next, boil water in a pot, and once the water boils, add the meatballs and cook until done. As for frying, forget about it.

Oil is a very precious commodity these days, and since it's not for our own consumption, there's absolutely no need to waste it.

At this moment, Qin Huairu had already run to the front gate to wait for her lunchbox. It seemed that she had calculated the time correctly, and Sha Zhu should be back soon.

Sure enough, not long after, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu ran into the Central Courtyard one after the other.

Qin Huairu ran ahead carrying a lunchbox, while Sha Zhu chased after her with a grin, calling out to her to save one for him.

Seeing this, Su Ting couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "This idiot is hopeless, and this sycophant is enjoying himself!"

As the meatballs in the pot gradually cooked through, a rich aroma of meat filled the entire yard.

People who were already hungry and rushing home from get off work found it even harder to endure this.

Chapter Four: Sweet Treats

Dinner was not yet ready for each household, and even if it was, there was no meat or vegetables on the table.

As a result, various discussions arose among the neighbors.

"Look, which family is stewing meat again! How am I going to swallow my cornbread tonight?!"

"I just had meat this morning, and now it's back tonight? How can anyone live like this?!"

"Oh my god! Oh my god! I want to eat meat too! Why do other families have meat to eat, but we don't?"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! You want to eat? Get out of my way!"

"Wow wow... wow wow..."

Amidst these noisy sounds, my mood soared.
