Ah, Ma Hua was also dumbfounded. He hadn't expected Qin Jingru to say such a thing to him. This wasn't how things were going to go.
Qin Jingru noticed the hesitation in Ma Hua's eyes and immediately said in a sweet voice, "Comrade Ma Hua, I don't know anyone here. You're the only one I know. Please take me there!"
"Alright, then get in the car!" Ma Hua thought for a moment and still decided to bring Qin Jingru along. For no other reason than that if Lou Xiao'e was the most heartbroken love-struck woman in the entire hospital, then Qin Jingru was the most suitable woman in the original story to marry.
{Ahem, don't argue. Qin Huairu counts too, but unfortunately, she only belongs to Jia Dongxu. Other men are just bloodsuckers to Qin Huairu!}
"Hey," Qin Jingru said happily as she walked beside Ma Hua.
Xu Damao's eyes turned red with jealousy when he saw this. That damned Ma Hua, how dare he? He was the one who set his sights on her first!
"Hey, they're all gone, and you're still looking!" Lou Xiao'e said, her face full of jealousy. Xu Damao was still her man, after all, and seeing him openly looking at another girl like that made her feel uneasy.
"Cough cough, no, I was just worried about Brother Ma Hua! This is Qin Huairu's cousin, Sha Zhu was still waiting for her, and then Ma Hua took her away." Xu Damao coughed twice to cover up his guilty conscience before smiling and saying.
"E'er, you must be tired. Tell me what you want to eat, let's go home and I'll make it for you!" Xu Damao said to Lou Xiao'e ingratiatingly.
"Whatever," Lou Xiao'e sneered twice, ignoring Xu Damao and walking straight into the courtyard.
Xu Damao watched Lou Xiao'e's retreating figure and spat fiercely on the ground: "Pah, you old hen that can't lay eggs, I'll replace you sooner or later."
On the other side, Ma Hua and Qin Jingru were quite different. Qin Jingru sat excitedly on the back of Ma Hua's bicycle, chattering away with him.
If my cousin hadn't told me to go on a blind date with Sha Zhu, I would never have come to Beijing. The city is much more lively than my village.
"Comrade Jingru, I didn't know you were actually Qin Huairu's cousin!" Ma Hua exclaimed.
"Yeah, I also think it's such a coincidence that we ran into each other here. Don't talk about my cousin, she's a big liar, I don't want to talk to her!" Qin Jingru pouted and complained angrily.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Ma Hua asked quickly.
"What else could it be? My cousin tricked me into going on a blind date with Sha Zhu. She even told me that Sha Zhu is an honest man, earns 37.5 yuan a month, and has two big brick houses at home," Qin Jingru said, her voice growing lower and lower. Could it be that Comrade Ma Hua thinks I'm a money-grubber?
"And then!" Ma Hua was busy working overtime in the cafeteria yesterday and didn't go to the movies. He also came out late just now and didn't hear Xu Damao slandering him. He thought Xu Damao was slandering Sha Zhu. Qin Jingru was unhappy about this.
"Hmph, my cousin is a big liar. I heard people talking about some kind of chef when I was watching the movie yesterday, but he's just a latrine cleaner. And that idiot Zhu guy is way too old! I..."
Qin Jingru hurriedly said, but she was too embarrassed to say that someone as beautiful as her could not possibly marry a silly man like Zhu.
"Hahaha." Ma Hua laughed loudly. This Qin Huairu is really something. She's acting like a prostitute while pretending to be virtuous. Since she doesn't want to introduce Qin Jingru to Sha Zhu, why use Xu Damao as a shield?
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Jingru blushed as Ma Hua laughed at her, and lowered her head, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.
“Your cousin is really something. Sha Zhu has been caught twice by our factory for stealing and has long been reduced to cleaning toilets. She still has the nerve to introduce you to him,” Ma Hua said to Qin Jingru after laughing.
"Oh, really? This..." Qin Jingru was so shocked she couldn't speak. Sha Zhu was a thief!!!
"Comrade Ma Hua, may I ask you something?" Qin Jingru swallowed hard, her gossip-loving nature evident.
“Yes, go ahead,” Ma Hua nodded.
"That's right, did my cousin and Sha Zhu secretly get together ever since my brother-in-law passed away?" Qin Jingru could no longer contain her curiosity and asked directly.
With a squeak, Ma Hua feigned shock, squeezed the brakes hard, and the bicycle immediately stopped at the roadside.
Qin Jingru, sitting in the back seat, didn't expect Ma Hua to react so strongly. Her upper body immediately slammed heavily into Ma Hua's back due to inertia. "Ah!" Qin Jingru exclaimed, and her hands instinctively wrapped around Ma Hua's waist.
This is a foul by Qin Jingru! You actually charged at someone while carrying the ball, and with two such big balls at that! When Qin Jingru collided with Ma Hua, she immediately felt a softness coming from behind her.
"Oh, what happened?" Qin Jingru got off the back of the bicycle, stood aside, rubbed her bumped head, and said to Ma Hua in a sweet and coquettish voice.
"It's nothing, I was just curious how you knew?" As Qin Jingru stood up, the softness on his back vanished instantly, and Ma Hua sighed inwardly.
"It was the person we met at the alley entrance who said that my cousin has been with Sha Zhu for a long time, and he also said bad things about you! He said you have a bad temper and like to hit people," Qin Jingru lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
"So do you think I'm that kind of person?" Ma Hua's ambiguous smile fell on Qin Jingru's face, making Qin Jingru's pretty face blush slightly.
"I... I don't think so. You're a good person," Qin Jingru said directly after a moment of hesitation.
"Oh!! So that's how Comrade Jingru sees me?" Ma Hua exclaimed, feigning surprise, while secretly thinking, "What a kind person!"
This is the way things are in this era. If it were in future generations, believe me or not, I would turn around and leave. You're a good person, but I'm not worthy of it. Pah! Even a dog wouldn't listen to that.
