To get rid of him, we must take him down one by one, starting with his wife.

"I feel really bad for troubling you here for so many days, you're not young anymore, you're getting on in years."

"She should be enjoying her retirement. You've seen how much Lou Xiao'e's emotions are fluctuating right now."

"One second they can be chatting and laughing, the next second they become a completely different person."

"I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid he'll make you angry!"

Li Chaoyang is quite good at chatting; everyone is worried that Lou Xiao'e might make him sick.

It's not as serious as he makes it out to be. This is his daughter; he knows her character best.

Unlike Li Chaoyang, whom I've only known for a little over a year, how can I compare to him?

“She is my daughter. I know her temperament better than anyone else. She is like a donkey. You have to go along with her. You can’t go against her.”

"Whatever he says, just nod and say a few nice words, and the matter will be over."

"If I don't say something nice to him, this matter won't be resolved. I'll just let it go."

“You’ll still have to work after you go back, and I’m worried about leaving him alone at home.”

While talking to his mother-in-law, Li Chaoyang glanced at Lou Xiao'e.

Hopefully, he can stand up and say something; in situations like this, his words can be very effective.

We can't let him and his mother-in-law argue about this again; it's not worth it.

To be honest, Lou Xiao'e would love to stay here; her mother's cooking is so good.

She makes delicious meals in different ways every day, unlike him who just grabs a quick bite and calls it a day when he's home alone.

No one prepared anything for him, and he wasn't willing to do anything, so he just made do with whatever he could find.

Here, someone takes care of him and someone chats with him. How wonderful! And this person is his mother.

He can chat with others when there's nothing else to do, but he feels a bit lonely when he gets home alone.

Also, considering that Li Chaoyang wanted to go home, it wasn't enough to just cater to his feelings alone.

We also have to take care of Li Chaoyang, so it's not very convenient to be here.

For example, he and Li Chaoyang wanted to have a private conversation when his mother knocked on the door and came in.

Even when asked to do other things, he was still very reserved, despite the fact that Li Chaoyang seemed to have a very good relationship with his mother-in-law on the surface.

It seems familiar, but that's just a superficial appearance. In reality, he doesn't really like being here.

Li Chaoyang didn't say it, but Lou Xiao'e could still sense it from his every move.

After all, they are a married couple, and they can't be as comfortable anywhere as they are at home.

In other words, this is 5.9's home, not Li Chaoyang's home, just like when he went to his mother-in-law's house, it was the same principle.

Li Chaoyang was born and raised there, and he was familiar with every blade of grass and every tree there. He liked to stay there.

Lou Xiao'e was different; she felt very awkward being with her mother-in-law and father-in-law and only wanted to get home as soon as possible.

Putting myself in Li Chaoyang's shoes, I imagine he shared the same thoughts.

"Don't argue with Li Chaoyang. It's not that far away. I'll come back to see you in a couple of days."

"When I went to the hospital a few days ago, the doctor told me that I need to exercise more and walk more if I want to have a natural birth."

"Giving birth won't be as strenuous. This is my first child, so I need to move around more to avoid suffering."

"I'm fine. It's okay for me to come back here. I'll tidy up the house properly when I get back."

"Why don't you come and stay at my house in a couple of days? It'll save you from feeling lonely here."

"That's the advantage of marrying a girl nearby; she can return to her parents' home anytime."

01

"You can also come to my house to see me!"

Lou's mother wanted to hold on a little longer, but after hearing what her daughter said, she realized that the child had planned it all along.

Judging from this, he doesn't want to stay here anymore. His child is grown up, has his own ideas, and has his own family.

We can't stay here all the time. Lou Xiao'e is fine with anything, and she also has a son-in-law.

I've never lived in this house before, and I don't know him very well, so it's still a bit awkward to live under the same roof.

"Since you've put it that way, what else can I say? Since you want to go with Li Chaoyang, I have no objection."

"You two pack your things. It's better to get there early than late. Don't wait until it gets dark to go back."

"I've been thinking about you all too. I'll come to visit you at your home in a couple of days."

"Don't overexert yourself. You're still pregnant, and there's nothing else to do at home."

"Just take good care of yourself and don't cause Li Chaoyang any trouble!"

Lou Xiao'e was more forceful; Li Chaoyang talked to his mother-in-law for a long time without getting a word in edgewise.

Lou Xiao'e only said one sentence, and he relented. "You can't help but admire him," Li Chaoyang said to his mother-in-law with a smile.

"We'll come to see you in a few days, so don't worry, I'll take good care of him!"

That was settled. After finishing their meal, they sat for a while longer before getting up and heading back.

The two chatted and laughed along the way, and when they arrived at the courtyard house, they encountered an old lady hanging clothes out to dry inside.

The weather was quite nice today, so she brought out all the laundry she could wash.

After a whole day of washing, I finally finished and was hanging the clothes to dry when I saw the young couple come back.

He quickly put the clothes down and said to them.

"You're finally back! I haven't seen any smoke coming out of your chimney for days."

"I was chatting with his second aunt this morning and we talked about this. I wonder what you two young people have been up to."

"Is something wrong at home? If you ask me, Li Chaoyang, you're being too polite."

"As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. If anything happens to your family, 063, let us know, and we might be able to help you."

That old lady has a quick tongue and a sharp mind.

Li Chaoyang wanted to ask, "How do you know so much? You even know that something happened in my family?"

He remembered asking Lou Xiao'e why his mother hadn't come here to take care of him.

Thinking of those words, Li Chaoyang was furious and said to the old woman.

"There was a little thing at home, but I've taken care of it and am back now. Are you alright?"

"If there's nothing else, I'll take Lou Xiao'e back."

The old woman wanted to get to the bottom of things.

After hearing Li Chaoyang's words, she knew that he didn't want to talk to her anymore.

I don't want to tell him what happened at home. If it were an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn't ask anymore.

"Who is she? She's not an ordinary person. She's very concerned about what's happening in the courtyard," she said to Li Chaoyang.

"Don't rush off yet. Tell me about your family first. I've heard about it from Lou Xiao'e."

“Your grandmother is being taken care of by your mother. She seems to be quite old.”

"Is she feeling unwell?"

This person must be so gossipy that I don't even want to chat with him anymore, yet he keeps dragging me along. Li Chaoyang felt a bit annoyed.

Why is this person like this? Why are they always thinking about other people's business?

Just take care of your own family matters. If you're going to say something unpleasant, it just means you're bored and have nothing better to do.

He and the old man had no children, and besides meddling in other people's business, they didn't know what else to do!

"My grandmother wasn't in very good health. She was 84 years old this year and passed away a couple of days ago."

"I'm going home to arrange his funeral!"

Li Chaoyang hadn't planned to tell him, but then he thought about the influence of this courtyard house.

Even if he doesn't tell, he'll find out sooner or later, so it's better to just tell him.

All he wanted now was to get home as quickly as possible and not see that old face of his anymore.

I find him repulsive; he's so annoying.

"Just as I guessed, I also thought of this. No one has been staying at your house for several days."

"I overheard you chatting with Lou Xiao'e when you left. I wonder if your grandmother will make it through."

"I was about to ask you what happened, but before I could ask, you rode away on your bicycle."

"I can't even keep up with the speed of a bicycle, so I can only stay at the back."

"I was thinking of asking you properly when you came back, but I never expected that you would just be gone like this."
