"I am the third master of the front yard, but which master is this girl going on a blind date with?" Yan Dagui asked.

"Oh, so you are the third master. This girl needs to meet Master He." After saying this, Mrs. Zhang was about to take Li Chunhua to the central courtyard.

Yan Dagui immediately spoke up to stop them: "Wait a moment, this girl wants to meet Master He from the Middle Courtyard? Old Silly Zhu?"

Zhang the matchmaker asked back, "What's the matter?"

Li Chunhua looked at Yan Dagui carefully. In the situation of the people in the courtyard that Xu Damao told her, the calculating and shrewd Third Master in the front yard had already been mentioned. Although she didn't say anything, her purpose in coming to find Sha Zhu was clear and she was not affected by his words. Marrying Sha Zhu, the chef, was the point.

"It's a pity that such a young girl wants to have a love affair with the old fool. Don't let him deceive you."

"What do you mean? It's unfair! You're here to disrupt other people's blind dates. What's your intention?" Matchmaker Zhang asked unhappily. Did he intend to hinder her from making money?

Li Chunhua hurriedly stopped him: "Aunt Zhang, let's leave here. There's no need to bother with such people."

Matchmaker Zhang reluctantly dragged Li Chunhua towards the central courtyard, muttering to herself: What on earth does this old guy want to do!

Watching the two leave, Yan Dagui spat behind him. He knew that with Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai present, this blind date would definitely not have a good result. He was certain in his heart: this marriage was a bubble.

After entering the central courtyard, Matchmaker Zhang saw Sha Zhu waiting at the door. He had been dressing up diligently all day, even changing his shoes into leather shoes, wearing a Zhongshan suit, and his hair was combed meticulously.

When Matchmaker Zhang saw Shazhu, she immediately smiled and said, "Brother Shazhu, I have brought the person you want."

Li Chunhua was also very cooperative and acted shy so that Sha Zhu would look at her directly. Although she was not as beautiful as the Qin siblings, her beauty that could shame flowers and the moon directly touched Sha Zhu's heart.

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, who were hiding in the house, saw the woman that Sha Zhu liked, and they couldn't help but panic. They had to do everything they could to ruin this fortune-telling. Sha Zhu's glance had clearly expressed his love for her.

"Aunt Zhang, there is this girl, please come in!" Sha Zhu hurriedly invited her. He was very satisfied with this girl at first sight.

When looking at Li Chunhua, Li Chunhua found that although Sha Zhu looked a little old, he was actually not as bad as she had imagined.

Qin Huairu walked to the door of Sha Zhu's house in the middle courtyard with a pile of clothes in her hands and started washing clothes. For her, as long as she was determined, she could wash clothes in 24 hours. While washing clothes, she turned her eyes to the direction of Sha Zhu's house and took a peek.

At this time, Xu Damao came back from outside leisurely. When she saw Qin Huairu, her eyes immediately brightened. To her, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were natural competitors. If she could seize the opportunity, once Sha Zhu's blind date was exposed and ruined, she would benefit indirectly.

"Da Mao, you just came back, right?" Qin Huairu said with a false smile on her face.

"Yes, Sister Qin, I'm doing laundry." Xu Damao snorted in his heart.

"Yes, by the way, Shazhu is going on a blind date today. The girl is so pretty. I hope you don't mess things up this time." Qin Huairu mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Damao sneered inwardly. What was this woman thinking? She said Sha Zhu was going on a blind date and mentioned that the girl was beautiful so that he could ruin it? This guy didn't know that she had arranged all this, and he had taken advantage of her many times.

On the surface, Xu Damao still pretended to be nonchalant, "Huh? Really? Let him go on a blind date, what does it have to do with me? I have other things to do, and I have to go to the movies later, so I won't chat any more."

After saying that, he walked straight to the backyard.

Qin Huairu was stunned. Something was wrong. According to convention, Xu Damao should have made trouble at this time. Why did he suddenly change his temper today?

At this time, Yi Zhonghai walked out of the room and winked at Qin Huairu, who immediately understood and nodded in agreement. It was obvious that the two of them had already had a tacit understanding.

Seeing Qin Huairu's clear reaction, Yi Zhonghai turned back into the room and waited quietly by the window.

He knew that if Qin Huairu succeeded in ruining the blind date, he would not have to show up in person. At He Yuzhu's house, Shazhu was excitedly talking to Li Chunhua and Zhang the matchmaker.

"As long as the ingredients are available, I can easily cook delicacies from all over the country. I, He Yuzhu, am well-known in the circle of chefs in this city," he boasted.

"Sister Chunhua and Aunt Zhang, please stay and try my cooking at noon today."

Li Chunhua shyly declined: "I'm so sorry, Brother Zhuzi."

"You're welcome. I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw you for the first time. I know your family situation. As long as you marry me, your brother's son will be like my own child. I will definitely make sure he enjoys happiness." Sha Zhu patted his chest and swore.

"Really, Brother Zhuzi?" Li Chunhua pretended to be grateful, but in her heart she was secretly glad for the possible prospect of marriage.

As long as she married He Yuzhu, her son would at least not go hungry, and she could also get rid of the burden of working with the door half-closed. However, it would be best to draw a clear line with Xu Damao in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Chunhua had more expectations for the future. As long as she showed weakness and persisted, Sha Zhu should be able to control her and let her get what she wanted.

So she said, "Of course it's true. If you think I'm suitable, let's make it a deal. Let's find a time to get the marriage certificate."

"Yeah." Li Chunhua nodded slightly with a red face, and Sha Zhu's heart was even happier.

At this time, there was a creaking sound, and the door was pushed open. The pregnant Qin Huairu walked in with the attitude of a host, and said with a smile: "Shazhu, someone is here to see you, it's okay, you can continue talking. By the way, bring the clothes and shorts that have not been washed yet, and your sister will help you clean them."

Sha Zhu looked a little embarrassed when he looked at Li Chunhua.

Qin Huairu had obviously been prepared mentally, because Xu Damao had warned her before that this woman would disrupt the blind date by entering the scene to wash Shazhu's underwear.

She was very angry. She finally found a good candidate who could give birth to a son for her, but it was destroyed.

"Girl, Sha Zhu is a very honest man. You must not miss him. Our family has been through hard times, and Sha Zhu often helps us out. He treats his children like his own sons. If you really marry a man like him, your life will definitely improve."

Qin Huairu seems to be praising Sha Zhu, but in fact she is very scheming.

Sha Zhu felt something was wrong when he heard this.

"What's your logic?" Matchmaker Zhang couldn't stand it any longer and flew into a rage: "How could you do this? Master Huo is looking for a date here, what's the point of a married woman like you running here to mess things up?"

Li Chunhua's face darkened.

He looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, who is this? How can I wash your clothes?"

"Sister, don't misunderstand. It's mainly because Shazhu is a kind person. He always brings his lunch back to the factory and can't bear to eat it, so he shares it with us. In order to repay his kindness, I just help clean up the room and do the laundry. I have no other intentions. Don't think wrongly." Qin Huairu cleverly used the green tea strategy.

"From now on, I will wash Brother Zhuzi's clothes myself and won't bother outsiders." As she said that, Li Chunhua snatched Sha Zhu's clothes from Qin Huairu's hands.

Qin Huairu secretly hated that Li Chunhua might have moved Sha Zhu's heart, and she was determined not to let them have any relationship. Once they got married, how would she live?

Sha Zhu was delighted. Two women were vying for his favor, which made him so happy that he kept grinning.

"Okay, I'm sorry for disturbing you. Zhuzi, I didn't mean it. It's all my fault for being ignorant." Qin Huairu's eyes welled up with red tears as she spoke, as if she could cry at any time.

When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu's true feelings, he couldn't bear it for a moment.

"Sister, don't say that."

"Master Huo, isn't this a bit wrong? You were on a blind date with Chunhua, but why did you get involved with someone else? Look, Chunhua is so sad that she is crying." Matchmaker Zhang pinched Li Chunhua lightly to remind her of her intentions.

Li Chunhua understood, tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked extremely innocent. As a widow, her situation was indeed different from that of Qin Huairu, who had not officially lost everything.

"Little sister Chunhua, stop crying."

Seeing that Li Chunhua was about to cry, Sha Zhu became very anxious. He loved Li Chunhua deeply and had planned to spend the rest of his life with her. The current situation made him feel helpless.

"Sister Chunhua, I didn't mean that. Sister Qin and I are really innocent..." Sha Zhu hurriedly distanced himself from the matter and said to Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, I don't need you to wash my own clothes in the future. You should take care of yourself first."

"You..." Qin Huairu was furious after hearing what Sha Zhu said. She had always treated Sha Zhu as she pleased, and now that she was rejected like this, she felt even more resentful.

But she immediately concealed it and pretended to be sad and said, "Forget it, Zhuzi, it's my fault. I didn't expect to misunderstand you. So, I'd better leave early."

Turning around to leave home, Qin Huairu was sure that Sha Zhu would call her. However, until she left the house, Sha Zhu still did not move. Looking back, she found that he was comforting Li Chunhua, and she clenched her jaw in hatred.

Obviously the previous plan failed and she needed to try another approach.

Qin Huairu left Shazhu's house and went straight to Yi Zhonghai's home. "Hai, what happened?" Her question was full of doubts.

"Grandpa, something terrible is happening. It looks like Shazhu is going to settle down on this blind date. Look at Li Chunhua, she's very restless, you have to think of a solution. What if this girl is unstable and Shazhu gets married, won't our courtyard be in chaos?" Qin Huairu thought to herself, if Chunhua didn't respect her, what would happen if Shazhu was not filial?

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be sincere and said, "Zhu Zi is just an honest boy. He is not young anymore and it is time for him to start a family. But Zhu Zi is honest, so you have to be careful not to be tricked."

“That makes sense.”

"Huai Ru, I got it. I will find a way to handle this matter." After saying that, Sha Zhu comforted Li Chunhua and then showed off his cooking talent at home. He believed that this was the best way to show his personal charm.

At this time, Xu Damao came to the middle courtyard, sniffed the air deliberately, and walked straight to the door of Sha Zhu's house. He opened the door and saw Sha Zhu looking at him with a stern face. "Xu Damao, what are you looking for?" Sha Zhu asked.

"Hey, Silly Zhu, is there anything delicious? I came here from far away just because of the smell." Xu Damao said as he squeezed into the house.

"Get away from here! You have no right to interrupt here!" Sha Zhu drove Xu Damao away like he was driving away a fly.

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you dating someone? This girl is really nice. Look at her pretty face. Let me tell you, Shazhu..."

Hearing this, Sha Zhu flew into a rage, mistakenly thinking that Xu Damao was deliberately trying to sow discord, and immediately shouted: "Xu Damao, if you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you up!"

Xu Damao hurriedly took two steps back and smiled at Li Chunhua: "Ah, I seem to have seen you somewhere before, are you from the Red Star Commune?"

"I don't know you." Li Chunhua responded coldly.

Xu Damao suddenly remembered, "Ah, aren't you Li Chunmei's sister? You know her story, right? I heard that you raised the children after her sister passed away. I really wonder why such a good girl would fall in love with Sha Zhu? Listen, sister, with your character and looks, there are many good men in Beijing."
