Chapter 240: Coercion

Qin Huairu heard it and immediately smiled proudly.

She sat on the bed, picked up the clothes and looked at them, then said happily:

"I never expected you to have such good taste."

"These clothes are not bad."

Shazhu: "Put them on, there are also shoes, wear them all, let the people in the courtyard see that you, Qin Huairu, have new clothes and new shoes to wear."

Qin Huairu: "Let's talk about it later."

Saying that, she held the clothes and shoes in her hands, then continued:

"I'm going back first."

The next day.

Huaihua came back from outside, saw Qin Huairu wearing new shoes, and hurriedly asked:

"Hey, what's this, how come you're wearing such new shoes?"

Qin Huairu looked down proudly at them and said:

"What's wrong? Can't your mother wear a pair of new shoes?"

Huaihua: "Sit down quickly, let me look, let me have a look, these shoes are quite nice."

"Mom, tell me the truth."

"Was it that my silly uncle was hidden in the house yesterday?"

Qin Huairu: "That's not all of it."

Saying that, she pointed to the inner room and continued:

"Go look inside your room and you'll know."

Huaihua hurriedly walked in.

She immediately saw a new cotton jacket on the bed.

"Wow, this cotton jacket is really nice-looking."

She picked it up, walked out, and asked Qin Huairu:

"Mom, do you think I would look good in it too?"

Qin Huairu: "Hmm, it looks good, you should wear it."

Huaihua: "I don't want it."

"If I want it, I'll have my silly uncle buy me one."

Just then, Jia Zhangshi walked in.

"You're still talking about it? Last night, your mother almost wanted to wear it to sleep."

As the words fell, Bang Geng walked in.

"Have you eaten?"

Qin Huairu: "We've eaten, come, sit down."

Bang Geng glanced at Qin Huairu's new shoes under her feet, and his brow involuntarily furrowed.

Then.

His gaze fixed on the new cotton jacket in Huaihua's hands.

Huaihua: "What are you looking at? This cotton jacket too, it's all bought for my mother by my silly uncle."

"What's wrong? Do you have an opinion?"

Bang Geng laughed: "What opinion could I have?"

"I wish they......"

Saying that, he felt as if someone was glaring at him fiercely, quickly turned his head, and it turned out to be Qin Huairu.

Bang Geng pursed his lips and chose to stay silent.

Huaihua asked: "Brother, go on, what were you just about to say?"

"Are you going to say you wish our mother would marry my silly uncle?"

Qin Huairu interjected: "Alright, let's eat first."

"Your brother is a principled person."

"If he says he disagrees, then he disagrees."

Jia Zhangshi: "No, then you don't want to marry Shazhu?"

Qin Huairu: "What are you talking about? Of course I want to, but Bang Geng is the only male in our family."

"We have to take him as the main consideration."

"If he disagrees, I won't do it."

Jia Zhangshi: "Then do as you please."

"It's best not to marry, this Shazhu isn't anything special."

"He's already this old and still can't find a partner."

"You, why would you wrong yourself?"

Qin Huairu: "Mom, the kids are here, don't say such unpleasant things."

Jia Zhangshi said indifferently: "What's there to fear, we're all family."

After finishing the meal, Qin Huairu summoned Bang Geng to the cellar.

"Bang Geng, do you really want Mother to marry Shazhu?"

Bang Geng let out a light sigh and said:

"Whether you marry or not, I don't want to bother."

"I just think, at least don't force me."

"As for me and Shazhu, how should I say it, we have no grudge."

"Honestly, he's actually quite good to me."

"Why do you force me to treat seeing him as if I'm meeting an enemy?"

Qin Huairu frowned and said:

"No, didn't we already agree?"

"Besides, Bang Geng, you're a boy, a man."

"Do you want your mother to remarry?"

Bang Geng: "I've already said I don't want to deal with all that."

Qin Huairu got angry: "No, you must take care of it, I'm your mother!"

"Anyway, you're not allowed to speak to Shazhu first."

"Otherwise I won't have this son."

Bang Geng snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Qin Huairu hurriedly called him back.

"Bang Geng, be honest, do you really want Mom to marry Shazhu?"

Bang Geng hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

Qin Huairu continued: "Bang Geng, Mom really doesn't want to betray your father."

"Sorry to the Jia Family."

"Besides, Mom doesn't like Shazhu."

"Just keep cooperating with Mom, okay?"

"If we delay another two or three years, Shazhu will still be unable to find a partner."

Bang Geng thought for a moment and nodded.

Today at work, Qin Huairu deliberately wore the new shoes and new clothes that Shazhu bought for her.

Near quitting time, she also deliberately went to the cafeteria.

She wanted to show off a bit.

Sure enough.

When everyone saw her in the new clothes and new leather shoes, they all wore faces full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Liu Lan glanced her up and down and said:

"Yo, not bad, quite good looking."

"Truly, it's a whole different story now."

Hearing that, Qin Huairu broke into a smug smile.

Someone said, "Isn't that right? It's a bit like the lady of our cafeteria's boss."

"Everyone, is that right?"

The crowd shouted in unison, "Yes, beautiful!"

That's the effect we wanted; with so many people, once it spreads, who would still marry Shazhu?

However, Qin Huairu still spoke up:

"What are you laughing at? A new set of clothes and you're already thrilled?"

"These were bought for me by Shazhu."

"Where's he?"

Liu Lan pointed toward the back kitchen and said:

"Back there, the back kitchen."

Qin Huairu, with a smug face, walked toward the back kitchen.

Liu Lan watched her back and muttered to herself:

"That old saying is true: people rely on clothing, horses on saddles."

"Qin Huairu's little makeover makes her even more beautiful."

Someone picked up the thread: "Hard work never betrays the diligent; Qin Jie dares to love and hate."

"You've fallen in love with the wrong place."

"In the end, the chickens fly and the eggs break."

When Liu Lan heard that, he got so angry that he grabbed the rag on the table and hurled it at that person, shouting:

"You're asking for a beating!"

Back kitchen.

Shazhu urged Qin Huairu: "Stop dawdling, go get the marriage certificate quickly, even if you have to do it secretly, that's fine."

Qin Huairu said patiently, "Didn't we already agree?"

"Why are you so hasty?"

"Take it easy for now; Bang Geng will understand, he's really becoming more promising now."

Shazhu: "Let me be honest with you, this kid, staying with Xu Damao, will never have any prospects."

Qin Huairu, displeased, said, "Don't say that just because Xu Damao is your enemy."

"Anyway, Xu Damao still actually taught Bang Geng how to make movies."

"Now Bang Geng can independently release movies."

"That's the technique."

You say you, you have no ability to find a job for Bang Geng; Xu Damao helped find one, and you're still not happy.

Shazhu: "I always feel that Xu Damao is not holding back a good fart!"

Besides, have I ever said to let him learn cooking from me?

Don't mention him, you didn't even agree in the first place.

No, do you look down on us cooks?
