Chapter 187 Liu Lan and Qin Huairu meet.
Lu Yuan took Liu Lan towards the small courtyard, and soon they arrived in front of a courtyard.
Liu Lan looked at the yard, feeling very uneasy. After all, she was still a girl.
Especially since Lu Yuan said he was married, she had no idea what kind of temper and personality Lu Yuan’s wife had.
I can only pray silently in my heart, hoping that Lu Yuan’s wife is not the kind of person with a bad temper.
"Brother Lu, is this your home?"
Liu Lan looked at the yard and asked cautiously.
Lu Yuan nodded, then pushed the door, found that it was not closed, then pushed it open and walked in.
Liu Lan also followed behind him and walked in.
At this time, Qin Huairu was sitting in the yard, doing some handicrafts with her hands.
I heard the door being pushed open, turned around and saw Lu Yuan coming back.
There was a little girl following behind him. Seeing this scene, Qin Huairu couldn't help but think of it.
It seemed that she was like this at the beginning. She was brought home by Lu Yuan in a daze.
Lu Yuan said to Liu Lan.
"Liu Lan. This is my wife, Qin Huairu."
When Lu Yuan was about to introduce Liu Lan, Qin Huairu asked first.
"Brother Yuan, who is this?"
Before Lu Yuan could speak, Liu Lan spoke on her own initiative.
"Hello sister-in-law, my name is Liu Lan."
"Liu Lan, what a nice name."
Qin Huairu stood up with a smile, walked forward and said.
Liu Lan walked into the yard somewhat stiffly, glancing at Qin Huairu from time to time.
She secretly looked at the woman in front of her and thought that she looked quite kind.
"Don't stand there, come and sit here."
Qin Huairu took Liu Lan's hand and led her to a chair to sit down, as if Lu Yuan didn't exist at all.
Liu Lan looked at Lu Yuan, then at Qin Huairu, who didn't seem to be pretending to be kind, and the needle in her heart finally fell.
At this time Lu Yuan said from the side.
"Xiao Ru, you are pregnant now! So I want Liu Lan to take care of you at home for a while.
Do you think this is okay?"
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Lu Yuan. She knew what Lu Yuan meant.
But she also knew that she was not suitable to take care of Lu Yuan now.
Especially now, as she is pregnant, she feels a little sleepy every day.
The most important thing is that Lu Yuan and his wife have some big demands in terms of sex.
She didn't mind Lu Yuan bringing someone back, but she minded Lu Yuan going to visit the Eight Great Hutongs.
Over the past few years, she is not unaware of the situation around her.
There are many older wives and younger widows in the alleys who do those half-open door jobs.
She didn't say anything about those women, they were all trying to make a living.
But she was afraid that Lu Yuan would get sick, which would be bad.
Now seeing Lu Yuan coming back with people, her heart was filled with joy. She even wished that Lu Yuan would bring back a few more girls.
This way she wouldn't have to worry about these things.
But she did not respond to Lu Yuan's words. Instead, she took Liu Lan's hand, glanced at Lu Yuan and said.
"Brother Yuan, just go do what you need to do. You should listen to our girls' conversation."
Lu Yuan looked at the situation and knew what Qin Huairu was thinking, so he said.
"Okay, you guys chat, where are the kids?"
"The children are taking a nap, why don't you go buy some New Year's goods? The New Year is almost here. I was planning to do it in the next two days.
Now that you are back, go buy it."
When Lu Yuan heard Qin Huairu say this, he turned on his telekinesis and took a look at the kitchen.
I found that there wasn't much left inside.
So he nodded and said.
"Yeah, okay, then you guys chat while I go buy some things. By the way, I'll pick up Xueru later."
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he walked outside.
After Qin Huairu saw Lu Yuan leave, she picked up the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water and handed it to Liu Lan.
Liu Lan took the water and thanked him softly.
"Liu Lan, right? Did he tell you about Brother Yuan's situation?"
Liu Lan nodded, not knowing why Qin Huairu asked this.
Qin Huairu nodded at her and continued to ask.
"Since you know everything, why did you follow Brother Yuan back?
He can't give you any status, and you can't even openly tell everyone about your relationship with him.
Can you accept such a thing?"
When Liu Lan heard this, she also understood Qin Huairu's intention.
Liu Lan lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked at Qin Huairu firmly and said.
“I don’t care about status, I just want to stay with Brother Lu.
And don't worry, sister, I won't destroy the relationship between you and Brother Lu."
Qin Huairu looked at Liu Lan's serious expression and sighed softly.
"Hey, what a silly girl! Now that you have made up your mind, let's get along well from now on.
But I still have to make some rules clear to you. In this family, you have to respect Brother Yuan and you also have to respect me.
Also, you can't tell anyone about your relationship with Brother Yuan, understand?"
Liu Lan nodded repeatedly.
"I understand, sister. Thank you for accepting me."
Qin Huairu smiled and patted Liu Lan's hand.
“If you have anything in the future, just tell me directly, don’t be restrained.
Brother Yuan has to work during the day, if you are bored just come and chat with me. By the way, can you cook? "
Liu Lan said with an embarrassed smile.
“A little bit, but not very well.”
Qin Huairu smiled.
"It's okay, just learn slowly. I'll leave the cooking to you from now on. Anyway, it's not convenient for me to do that since I'm pregnant."
Liu Lan quickly agreed.
"Okay, sister, I will try my best to do it well."
The two chatted for a while and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Liu Lan's nervousness was relieved a lot, and she began to look forward to her future life.
Qin Huairu suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound coming from Liu Lan's stomach.
"Didn't you eat?"
Liu Lan nodded a little embarrassedly and said.
"I didn't eat anything yesterday, and today I finally ran to the city and heard that the steel mill was recruiting workers.
So I went to see if I could find a job, but they refused to hire me.
Then I met Brother Lu, and then I came here directly."
Liu Lan did not say what had just happened. After all, she felt it was a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.
Qin Huairu smiled, took Liu Lan's hand and walked towards the kitchen.
“There’s still some food on the table, and I thought Brother Yuan would come back to eat.
Just heat it up and eat it now. I’m pregnant now, so I won’t heat it up for you.”
Liu Lan quickly waved her hand and said.
"Don't bother me, sister. I can do it myself."
Then Liu Lan started to make a fire and heat up the food.
Qin Huairu sat aside and looked at Liu Lan. Thinking of what she said about not eating the whole day yesterday, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Liu Lan, you just said that you didn't eat yesterday. What's going on? Can you tell me about it?"
When Liu Lan heard this, she paused and then said with a forced smile.
“My parents forced me to marry someone from the next village, but I didn’t want to. Then they didn’t let me eat and locked me up at home.
I heard from the villagers that the steel mill in the city was recruiting workers, so I ran away last night.
I hid outside the city for a night, and then returned to the city at dawn.
Then I went to the factory and they said they were full, so what happened next was that I met Brother Lu."
Hearing Liu Lan say this, Qin Huairu also felt the same way.
Many people in their village are in the same situation, forced by their parents to marry others.
But most of them accepted their fate, and some even got married without even meeting their spouses.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of her past self. She felt that if she hadn't met Lu Yuan.
She also doesn't know how her life will be like in the future.
Especially in the past two years, with the arrival of bills, life has become even more difficult.
But she doesn't have this problem, because her life has been the same as before in the past two years.
I still eat meat and drink soup every day without feeling sad at all.
She ate fine grains. As for coarse grains, she would buy them from the grain station, but she didn't eat them. She stored them in the cellar.
She wanted to eat, but Lu Yuan wouldn't let her, so she didn't feel how hard life was.
Seeing that Qin Huairu did not reply but was in a daze, Liu Lan stopped talking.
She glanced at the stove, and after the fire was lit, she poured some water into it, planning to steam the food in a steamer after the water boiled.
It was only when she opened the cover on the table and saw the rice and meat dishes on it.
He was shocked and then spoke to Qin Huairu cautiously.
"Sister, is this for me? Or I should just cook some cornmeal for myself."
Qin Huairu was interrupted by Liu Lan's voice and came back to her senses.
"Just eat it without worry, this is nothing, especially the cornmeal you mentioned.
I have never eaten that thing since I married Brother Yuan."
Liu Lan listened to Qin Huairu's words and looked at her in disbelief.
"Is this true? Sister, please don't lie to me.
Who doesn’t eat corn flour nowadays? Isn’t the monthly ration for city dwellers 35 kilograms per person?
But I heard that coarse grains are 25 kilograms, and fine grains are only 10 kilograms.
How can you eat like this every day? "
Qin Huairu smiled but didn't say anything.
Liu Lan knew that she had just arrived and these things were not something she could know.
But when she looked at the meat, vegetables and white rice on the table, she couldn't help swallowing.
This day was better than her Chinese New Year, and it made her fantasize about the future.
But she quickly came to her senses, looked at Qin Huairu and said.
"Sister, why don't you take out the cornmeal and I can make some steamed bread for myself."
Qin Huairu waved her hand and said.
"I don't understand what you're saying. Why don't you look for it yourself?"
Qin Huairu didn't believe that Liu Lan could find any coarse grains.
Those things were all in the cellar, and the cellar was under the main house.
This kitchen is nowhere to be found.
When Liu Lan heard Qin Huairu tell her to find it herself, she went to the two rice jars, opened the lid of one and saw what was inside.
Liu Lan couldn't help but tremble in her heart. She didn't know if it was her illusion.
Because what did she see? The white rice in the rice jar.
She thought it was fine grain, so she closed the lid and opened the other lid.
When she saw that it was filled with white flour, her breathing became rapid.
She couldn't believe that there were people in this world who didn't eat coarse grains and only ate fine grains.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but smile when she looked at Liu Lan.
Didn't she have the same expression when Lu Yuan brought her back?
The rice jar was not as exaggerated as it is now, but she was very satisfied with Liu Lan's performance.
Because she only saw Liu Lan's expression of disbelief.
But there was not a trace of greed in his eyes.
If she found something amiss, she might take action herself and kill Liu Lan.
We can't leave any threat behind, after all, these things were obtained by Brother Yuan.
If she were to be exposed, her own life wouldn't matter, but Brother Yuan must not get into any danger.
But she soon realized that Brother Yuan had a very sharp vision.
If Liu Lan was that kind of person, Brother Yuan would basically not bring her back.
Otherwise, this house would have been overcrowded long ago.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu finally relaxed.
Liu Lan was stunned for a long time. Qin Huairu glanced at the pot on the stove and found that the water had boiled.
"Sister Lan, the water is boiling, please heat it up quickly."
Liu Lan then came to her senses, closed the lid, and then put the food into the steamer to steam it.
As for Lu Yuan, after he came out of the yard, he walked towards the front gate.
Through his telekinesis, he saw Fan Jinyou, the street clerk, who was talking to Chen Xueru in the cloth shop.
It’s just that Chen Xueru ignored him.
When Lu Yuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but frowned.
"You kid, I'm afraid you don't know how many eyes the horse king has, flirting with my wife like this."
Lu Yuan watched Chen Xueru walking upstairs, and Fan Jinyou actually wanted to follow her.
Lu Yuan sneered and activated his telekinesis.
