Chapter 700: Uncle Qin 2
Qin Jingru quickly agreed: "Uncle, my mother can make the decision, sister, please speak up!"
Qin Jingru was very happy when she heard that Qin Huairu wanted to introduce her to a guy from the city, because her dream had always been to marry someone from the city.
On the day of Qin Huairu's wedding, Qin Jingru saw that the villagers looked at Qin Huairu with envy, so she secretly decided that in the future she would also marry into the city with glory and be praised by everyone like her cousin.
She asked herself that she was no worse than Qin Huairu in any aspect. If Qin Huairu could marry into the city, she could also marry into the city.
However, there was an endless stream of people coming to her house to propose marriage, but none of them was from the city. Just when she was in despair, Qin Huairu brought her hope. How could she not be ecstatic and impatient?
Qin Huairu saw Qin Jingru's anxious face, turned her head to look at her father, and said softly:
"Dad, should I tell you now or not?"
Father Qin pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu said calmly: "Jingru, I want to introduce you to a man named He Yuzhu. He is tall and handsome. He is now the canteen director of our steel mill and earns nearly 200 yuan a month..."
When Qin Jingru and her daughter heard this, their eyes lit up and their faces were filled with surprise.
Qin Jingru was so excited that she spoke incoherently: "Cousin... No, from now on you are my biological sister. The person you introduced to me is so outstanding. If I really succeed, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
Second Aunt was not as simple-minded as Qin Jingru. After a brief surprise, she quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice:
"Qin Huairu, you haven't finished talking about He Yuzhu's situation, right? You should have only mentioned his strengths, not his weaknesses, right?"
"If He Yuzhu is as good as you say, she can find any wife she wants. Why would she be interested in a country girl?"
Qin Huairu said with a little embarrassment: "Second Aunt, you are really quick-witted. All the conditions I mentioned above are true, but..."
They are afraid of but in everything. When Qin Jingru and her daughter heard the word "but", their faces instantly turned cold.
Qin Jingru said anxiously: "Sister, but what? Tell me!"
Qin Huairu whispered: "But He Yuzhu is already 27 years old, and he just divorced his wife..."
Qin Jingru heard this and said angrily:
"Qin Huairu, this is the person you introduced to me? Not only is he 27 years old, but he's also married for the second time. Is there anyone who would cheat on his sister like you?"
Qin Huairu also got angry and said coldly:
"Qin Jingru, it is important for people to know themselves. You are just an illiterate country girl, and you are not very pretty. How could a city man be interested in you?"
"Your mother also said that He Yuzhu has such good conditions that he can find any kind of wife. Under normal circumstances, no one would even bother to look at you."
Qin Jingru was furious and was about to curse Qin Huairu.
But Qin's father said loudly: "Qin Jingru, although your cousin's words are a bit harsh, they are also true."
"Besides, your cousin only told you about the other party's situation. It's up to you to decide whether or not you want to meet him. We will not interfere."
Mother Qin echoed, "Jingru, don't be angry. Your sister is just kind-hearted."
"Don't forget, he is the canteen director of the steel mill, with a monthly salary of nearly 200 yuan. If you marry him, you can live a life of luxury, and he can also arrange for your brother to work in the steel mill and eat royal food."
Mother Qin's last words made Second Aunt's eyes light up. Like most rural women, she favored boys over girls. She didn't care whether her daughter was happy or not. She only cared about whether her son was happy or not.
Second Aunt immediately changed her attitude and said in a gentle voice:
"Jingru, your aunt is right. Your sister is just kind-hearted. You should not be ungrateful."
Father Qin said sternly: "Yulian, Jingru, you go back first, wait for the second brother to come back, discuss it with him, and then decide whether to meet with the other party?"
Second Aunt said excitedly: "No need to discuss, we are willing to meet each other."
Father Qin said firmly: "No, we must get the consent of the second son before we can meet the other party."
"why?"
Everyone looked at Qin's father in confusion.
Father Qin said word by word: "Because this is not a glorious thing. I am afraid that you will regret it in the future and take your anger out on us again, so this matter must be approved by the second son."
"To put it bluntly, we are just a matchmaker. Whether you are willing to meet each other or marry each other is up to you to decide."
"Of course, it's your own choice, and the consequences are yours to bear. It has nothing to do with us."
"To be honest, I don't really agree with this. After all, Jingru is only 19 years old, and the other party is 27, and she is also a second marriage."
"We need to be strong-willed and not place too much emphasis on material things. We cannot marry someone just because he is rich."
"Of course, this is just my opinion. It's up to you to decide how to choose."
"I would also like to remind you that marriage is not a joke. You should be careful and give it more consideration."
Father Qin's words made Second Aunt lower her head and said in a stiff tone:
"Brother, I will listen to you and give you an answer after discussing it with Jingru's father."
After Second Aunt finished speaking, she took Qin Jingru away.
Qin Huairu watched Qin Jingru leave, feeling extremely regretful. She had not expected things to become so complicated.
If she had known this would be the case, she should not have told her parents, but instead went directly to her second uncle's house to trick Qin Jingru. Who knows, Qin Jingru might have returned to Beijing with her by now.
Of course, she didn't dare complain about her father meddling in her affairs, for fear that her father would slap her a few more times without saying a word.
Now she could only pray that her second uncle would not be as pedantic as his father, and that he would bring Qin Jingru back to Beijing as soon as possible.
In the evening, Qin Jingru's family came to Qin Huairu's house, including Uncle Qin and Qin Huairu's two brothers.
Father Qin said calmly, "Second brother, have Jingru and the others told you everything?"
Uncle Qin nodded and said, "Brother, I have basically understood the situation, but I still have a few questions for Huairu."
Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Uncle, if you have any questions, please ask as soon as possible. Your niece will answer truthfully."
Uncle Qin said seriously, "Huai Ru, does He Yuzhu have a child with his ex-wife?"
"this…"
Uncle Qin's first question stumped her, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should tell the truth.
"Snapped!"
Father Qin slammed the table and stood up, saying angrily: "What is this? Tell your uncle the truth. If you hide anything, I will break your legs."
Qin Huairu shuddered and said hurriedly, "He Yuzhu has a pair of twin sons, who are not even a hundred days old yet."
Uncle Qin asked in confusion: "The son is not even a hundred days old? Then why did he divorce his wife?"
Qin Huairu explained: "He Yuzhu's wife was too strong. She didn't allow the son born to take He Yuzhu's surname. She wanted him to take her mother's surname. He Yuzhu couldn't accept it, so he divorced his wife."
