Today is the happiest day of Sha Zhu's life. He almost wants everyone to see his beautiful girlfriend, but Qin Huairu is the only one not among them.

It wasn't just that he felt a little embarrassed about having been intimate with Qin Huairu a few times; he was also worried that Qin Huairu might sabotage things.

He knew that Qin Huairu had played a significant role in his repeated failed blind dates over the past two years, actively sabotaging them. Several times, while he was on a blind date, Qin Huairu would barge into his room and look for his underwear. What were the girls supposed to think about their relationship?

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai and he kept this operation very secret. Originally, he planned to wait until Monday when he went to work to register their marriage with Yingzi, but yesterday he discovered that other people around him had also taken a liking to Yingzi and had the same idea as him.

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and decided to strike first. You see, Yingzi was the one he was most satisfied with after observing her for so long; she was superior to his aesthetic standards in almost every aspect.

He figured that in just one day, Qin Huairu wouldn't be able to do anything really bad. On the way there, he had also told Yingzi about the situation in the compound, portraying Qin Huairu as a woman who, after being widowed, was jealous of other people's marriages and specialized in destroying them.

Yingzi also made it clear that no matter what difficulties they faced, she would always be with Shazhu. Shazhu got the answer he wanted, and that's why he started showing off. Even so, deep down he hoped Qin Huairu wouldn't come.

As fate would have it, Qin Huairu walked straight in.

"Sister Qin, you're here." Sha Zhu said without much confidence.

Yingzi, who had been looking around aimlessly and was very satisfied with her new home, immediately turned around and looked outside when she heard the name "Sister Qin." She saw a young woman dressed simply, but whose figure was perfectly outlined. She had fair skin, bright, watery eyes, and beautiful black hair; she was clearly a typical traditional beauty.

Women have the best intuition about other women, and Yingzi immediately sensed the threat posed by the other woman. Yingzi sighed that this compound was truly a place where hidden talents resided. She had spotted Wang Minzhi as soon as she entered—a woman with a unique temperament, a voluptuous figure, and a radiant smile—and now another woman, no less beautiful than the previous one, had arrived.

"Zhu Zi, aren't you going to introduce me?" After Qin Huairu entered the house, all her previous anger seemed to have disappeared, and her words no longer carried any threat.

"Oh, this is Yingzi, my girlfriend. By the way, we're getting our marriage certificate tomorrow. This is Sister Qin, or you can call her Sister-in-law Jia. She lives next door to us and has always taken good care of me."

Sha Zhu specifically emphasized that they would get their marriage certificate tomorrow, hoping that Qin Huairu wouldn't try to sabotage it.

"Yingzi, you're so lucky to have found such a wonderful man as Zhuzi. You might not know, but Zhuzi is not only the head chef at the factory, but he also takes care of the meals for the family kitchen. Before, he would always bring some back for my kids, Banggeng and the others, to try after he finished cooking. Now you're in luck!" Qin Huairu said with a smile.

“Really? That’s great. Mom, I’ve been eating the big pot meals that Zhu Zi makes for the past few days, I really don’t know what the small pot meals taste like,” Yingzi replied.

This young girl was no pushover either; she immediately gave Qin Huairu a nickname similar to "Bang Geng's Mother." Yingzi's family used to be landlords, and they were very well-off when she was young, but for well-known reasons, they later declined. Now, they've encountered famine and have no choice but to flee to the capital.

Despite her young age, she has experienced the full spectrum of human emotions and her knowledge and worldly wisdom are no less than that of Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu wasn't discouraged by her initial failure; she had merely been testing Yingzi's strengths and weaknesses. Now, it seemed this girl, despite her pale complexion, was quite capable, unlike the previous blind date Sha Zhu had gone on, whom she couldn't be appeased by simply washing a few of Sha Zhu's clothes. Therefore, she decided to unleash her ultimate weapon.

"Zhu Zi, come here for a second, I want to talk to you." Qin Huairu said to Sha Zhu, but her eyes were on Ying Zi.

"What is it? Sister Qin, just tell me directly." Sha Zhu didn't want to appear too intimate with Qin Huairu in front of his future wife.

"You should come over, this is a bit inconvenient," Qin Huairu said.

Seeing Qin Huairu's insistence, Sha Zhu moved slightly closer, but didn't stick to her. Usually, Sha Zhu would get as close as possible, but now he was taking the initiative to avoid suspicion.

"Zhu Zi, I left some underwear at your house. Could you please bring it to me? Otherwise, I'm worried that Ying Zi might overthink things."

Qin Huairu seemed to be speaking softly to Sha Zhu, but everyone in the room could hear her clearly, including those gathered at Sha Zhu's door.

This immediately caused an uproar. The underwear being at Sha Zhu's house meant their relationship was out in the open; it was a case of risking arrest to drag Sha Zhu down with them. In this day and age, cohabitation before marriage was a crime, punishable by criticism and reformation.

Of course, there's also a common-law marriage, so whether there's a problem depends on the couple's own attitude and whether those around them acknowledge their marital relationship. Clearly, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu are not a married couple.

Sha Zhu was terrified by Qin Huairu's words. This woman must be crazy, making up all sorts of things. He knew he didn't own any of her clothes; if he had real clothes, why would he need fakes?

"Sister-in-law Jia, you can't talk nonsense, it could be fatal," Sha Zhu warned her not to go too far.

"Hey, it's just a piece of clothing. Even your older sister isn't going to pursue it, so what are you afraid of? Yingzi, can you help me check under the blanket on the pillar? Is there anything there?" Qin Huairu started to provoke Yingzi, she didn't believe that the other party would remain indifferent.

Yingzi hadn't expected Qin Huairu to be so difficult to deal with, resorting to such ruthless tactics and completely disregarding her reputation. But given how Qin Huairu spoke, she couldn't back down and prepared to help turn the blankets over. Fortunately, Sha Zhu's firm attitude gave her a lot of confidence.

But then she almost cursed. Even with her vast experience of life and near-death experiences, she couldn't remain calm at that moment. There were two of her closest garments under the covers!

"Zhu Zi, close the door!" After calming herself down, Yingzi suppressed her anger and ordered Sha Zhu.

She knew what it felt like to be hungry and to die. She didn't want to live a life of hunger and cold again. She loved this big house and couldn't let Qin Huairu ruin her good time.

When Shazhu lifted the blanket, he saw what was happening inside, so he closed the door faster than anyone else, not even caring that he was trapping someone else's hand.

"Banggeng's mom, take your clothes with you. Don't leave them lying around like that again. My son Zhuzi did a good deed, but no one will do it again."

In the second round, the two women barely managed a draw.
