Chapter 199: Proactively Meeting Lin Shengli

Qin Huairu let Bang Geng go home alone, and she went straight to Ya gang chang.

Upon hearing that Shazhu had returned to work at the canteen and had even brought back several lunch boxes, she excitedly turned around and headed back to the Siheyuan.

Then.

She timed it and stood in the courtyard waiting for Shazhu.

She was patient, waiting for at least over half an hour, and kept waiting.

This was the first time in months that Shazhu would bring back leftovers.

In her view, Shazhu would definitely bring back something tasty this time.

While she was waiting, Lin Shengli came back from outside.

As soon as she saw Lin Shengli, she immediately put on what she thought was her most beautiful smile and went up to him, whispering:

"Shengli, I, I wonder if I could talk to you alone?"

Lin Shengli frowned slightly, looked around, made sure no one was there, then walked aside with Qin Huairu and said:

"Speak if you have something to say."

Qin Huairu whispered, "I miss you so much."

Lin Shengli thought for a moment and said, "Come to the Siheyuan tonight and wait for me."

Qin Huairu excitedly nodded.

Lin Shengli asked, "I heard you've been getting close to Shazhu lately? It seems you want to marry him?"

Qin Huairu hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I, I was just teasing him."

"You also know our family's life is too hard."

"If I don't tease him, he'll end up with Teacher Ran."

Lin Shengli: "Oh, actually you and Shazhu aren't bad either."

Qin Huairu: "No, I only have you in my heart, truly."

Lin Shengli laughed: "But I can't give you a title."

Qin Huairu: "I, I just want to be with you occasionally to be satisfied."

Lin Shengli: "Then do as you wish, I'm heading back first."

Qin Huairu: "Ah, I'll be waiting for you at the Siheyuan at seven tonight."

Lin Shengli nodded and left.

Watching his back, Qin Huairu let out a long sigh and walked back to the gate of the Siheyuan.

Effort does not betray those who put their heart into it.

After waiting another ten or so minutes, she finally saw Shazhu appear.

Shazhu was very excited today.

Because he brought back leftovers from three lunch boxes.

He thought that if Qin Huairu knew, she would definitely be happy, so after finishing his work he rushed back without stopping for a moment.

He hurried back to the Siheyuan, saw Qin Huairu standing at the courtyard gate, grinned, slowed his steps, and walked over slowly.

Qin Huairu fixed her eyes on the three lunch boxes in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

Shazhu pretended to put on a stern face, walked over, and said:

"Don't get happy, you."

"I didn't return to the canteen because of you."

"I did it because I feel sorry for the children."

Qin Huairu: "Shazhu, what are you talking about?"

"If it weren't for me helping you to seek Shengli, would Shengli speak well of you to Director Li?"

"Would Director Li let you return then?"

"Hmph, you ought to thank me, got it?"

After saying that, she took the net bag from Shazhu's hand.

She exclaimed happily, "Wow, it's pretty heavy, is there any pork?"

Shazhu: "Just look for yourself, I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

Qin Huairu became even happier: "That's about right."

"I've prepared a bottle of good wine for you."

"You couldn't guess what kind of wine it is."

"I'll bring it over to you later."

Shazhu happily said: "Okay, but you need to leave me some side dishes to go with the drink."

Qin Huairu: "I know, no need for you to say that."

Qin Huairu happily returned home carrying the net bag with the three lunch boxes.

Xiao Dang and Huaihua were sitting at the table writing.

She placed the lunch boxes on the table, then looked at Xiao Dang with a proud expression.

Xiao Dang stared at the lunch boxes and asked, "Mom, are these Shazhu's lunch boxes?"

Huaihua: "Mom, I'm not full."

Qin Huairu stroked Huaihua's head and laughed, "It's not that you're not full; nobody is full."

"Let's write later, first eat, ah."

Just then, Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi walked in.

Seeing the three lunch boxes, both of them were very excited.

Sit down, it's time to eat.

Qin Huairu said, walking into the kitchen and bringing out the bowls and chopsticks.

Xiao Dang asked, "Mom, is Sha Shu going back to work at the cafeteria?"

Qin Huairu: "Just eat yours."

"Eating still can't shut your mouth."

Qin Huairu put down the bowls and chopsticks, then took a plate, opened the lunch box, and used chopsticks to transfer food from the box onto the plate.

Jia Zhangshi frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qin Huairu: "These vegetables were just brought over for me."

"We didn't leave any for Shazhu; we can't let someone go hungry, can we?"

Jia Zhangshi snorted and said, "Can he still be hungry?"

"He already ate at the cafeteria."

Qin Huairu: "No."

Having said that, Qin Huairu carried the dishes and wine out.

Jia Zhangshi gave a cold snort and stared at her back.

Bang Geng: "Grandma, you're really something, so boring, not a bit of restraint."

Xiao Dang: "Exactly."

Jia Zhangshi glared at them and said irritably, "Just eat your own food."

Shuzhu Jia.

Shazhu picked up the wine Qin Huairu brought, looked at it, and asked:

"Where did this wine come from?"

Qin Huairu: "I bought it."

"Couldn't someone else have given it to me?"

"It's almost New Year; I saw a batch of famous wines at the grocery store, so I gritted my teeth and bought you a bottle."

Shazhu opened the bottle and asked, "Won't your mother-in-law say anything about you?"

Qin Huairu: "She doesn't know; I told her someone else gave it to me."

Shazhu: "She believes it? Won't she be angry?"

Qin Huairu: "She will; when I just left, she asked where I was going, I said I was bringing you vegetables, and her face darkened."

Shazhu shuddered all over upon hearing that.

"This this this, why did you say you were bringing me vegetables? Now how am I supposed to drink this wine?"

"I'm just afraid of your mother-in-law."

"Good grief, with that glare of hers, she could stare someone to death."

Qin Huairu frowned and asked, "What shady thing are we two up to?"

Shazhu: "No."

Qin Huairu: "Yes you are; what are you afraid of?"

Shazhu: "I'm also afraid; do you remember what Second Elder did last time?"

"Just after your family had trouble, Second Elder showed excessive concern for your family, letting your mother-in-law know—what did he do?"

"He gave Second Aunt a big slap."

Qin Huairu laughed and said, "You oppose our relationship because of these things, right?"

Although she won't marry Shazhu, she also wants to give him a candy at the right time.

So that Shazhu feels she truly wants to marry him.

Only by doing this will Shazhu not think of other women.

Shazhu took a sip of wine, shook his head, and said:

"Not exactly; it's like this—you, in my heart, hold the place of an elder sister."

Qin Huairu's face darkened, and she coldly shouted:

"Don't call me sister."

"I don't like hearing it."

"If you dare call me sister again, I'll drink this whole bottle."

"After that I'll just sleep here."
