Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

After the two guys left, Li Dabao and Li Erbao's smiles gradually disappeared.

Even the donkey has noticed something's wrong...

Ma Banjie was so enthusiastic about this fellow villager that he had just recommended him to Chen Junliang.

Hu Banxian asked Wang Baye and Ma Banjie to find people from the Yangqi Wang (a feng shui group) to stay at his house and help ward off evil spirits, but none of the Li brothers were willing to help. Now even Chen Junliang is unwilling; they're all on the same side, so what's wrong with helping each other?

But the Li brothers were also afraid when they thought about how Old Jia was also Wang Baye's cousin! Now, Chen Junliang's words carried little weight...

"Brother, my house is going to be ruined! Even if they take away Qi Weiyi's spot, what are we going to do now that Qi Wei has come along? Look how enthusiastic Ma Dapeng is towards him..."

These three guys joined the Jinling faction, and now Chen Junliang has brought in a fellow townsman from Jiang Province... This makes the three local young men very unhappy.

“Let’s talk about it when we get home. He won’t get away with stealing our spot. Ma Dapeng just wants to drag him to the haunted house…”

The donkey has a close relationship with the Li brothers, so he's on their side now. Why should we men take the fall for them...?

Just as Lin Chen had predicted, the Li brothers were the first to be unhappy about Qi Wei's interference.

More and more members of the Jinling School were entering the courtyard, which was not the outcome Lin Chen desired.

If the Li brothers betray Chen Junliang's team, Fan Jinyou will immediately cause trouble for Chen Junliang.

……

Next door

The Lin family's door was locked. Liu Haizhong told the two young men that the old man wasn't home tonight; he'd gone out drinking. So they should come back early tomorrow morning.

Lin Chen did go drinking, but it was for his own wedding.

Besides, Secretary Lin's whereabouts didn't need to be reported to anyone. Liu Haizhong and the others only needed to see that Brother Lin wasn't home to assume he had gone out on errands!

Don't ask or inquire about things randomly, or you might be suspected of being a spy. After all, Brother Lin is now a major general, a division-level officer...

"Thank you, Uncle. We'll go visit Uncle Xu... and come back early tomorrow morning."

Qi Wei is just an ordinary worker, so he's not qualified to attend a company-wide meeting. Now he can only visit the managers door-to-door…

When the two finally arrived at Uncle San's house, Qi Wei was utterly shocked. Who had beaten the steward of this courtyard house like this?

After exchanging a few polite words, Ma Banjie quickly led Qi Wei away. As soon as they left the Yan family's gate, the young man's curiosity was piqued.

"Brother Dapeng, what's going on with this old man? Who hit him?"

"Shh! I heard it was Uncle Lin who did it. Last night, Third Uncle was talking nonsense. Uncle Lin woke him up by slapping him..."

Of the five guys who saw the ghost last night, only Yan Bugui was beaten. Liu Haizhong warned the other four that if they said anything out of line, he would break their legs. That's why the four of them didn't dare not come out and refute the accusations against Ma Lan and her husband…

After all, the three old men had been beaten so badly their heads were swollen, and they were afraid of getting beaten again.

Qi Wei shuddered upon hearing this, never expecting that Secretary Lin would actually personally assault someone.

Jiudaowanzi

Tong Zhi was unaware that he was about to face a terrible disaster; he was still preoccupied with how to have an affair with Da Zhuang's wife.

Because Da Zhuang has been guarding the area closely, it won't be easy for Tong Zhi to succeed now.

While washing clothes by the pond, Tong Zhi secretly glanced in the direction of Da Zhuangjia... This guy was thinking about how to reap what he sowed in someone else's field.

Just then, Tong Zhi suddenly chuckled, another good plan forming in his mind.

Tong Zhi's little tricks were all discovered by Xiao Tiechui, who was peeking from the room. After all, Xiao Tiechui never believed that Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang's wife were innocent.

"Laugh, laugh your mother's ass. You guys must have been caught by some young master. Otherwise, you'd be in big trouble..."

Little Hammer is now obsessed with getting back at Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang. The young man believes that if it weren't for their misbehavior, his master's wife wouldn't have left, and he wouldn't have to live such a miserable life anymore…

The big bookmaker's side

After getting off work, Da Zhuang listened to the radio while munching on a freshly baked flatbread, enjoying a very pleasant life.

The young man's only regret was that his wife had spent two nights with Tong Zhi, and he was filled with remorse. He really shouldn't have brought Tong Zhi along... Thinking about it now, he wanted to slap himself.

"Yu Fen, it's not good for Tong Zi to stay single forever. I tried to introduce him to a woman, but he refused, saying he was afraid Li Dabao would cause trouble. So he's not looking for anyone for now! What should we do?"

He Yufen thought to herself, "Your good brother is always trying to take advantage of me. What a load of crap! Just now, when I went to fetch water, he even winked at me."

Now, He Yufen not only wants to control Dazhuang, but also wants to use Tong Zhi as a meal ticket. In case Dazhuang kicks her out one day, she needs to get some money to back her up.

"What do you mean by telling me this? Why should we care if he contacts us or not? Anyway, I hate him just seeing him. It was all your fault back then."

As He Yufen was speaking, she was about to wipe away her tears, and Da Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.

Da Zhuang thought to himself, "I don't want to get involved, but he's still single and unmarried... I'm worried! What if you two end up having an affair? If that thing goes in, who knows whose baby it will be?"

However, Da Zhuang only thought these words in his heart; he dared not say them aloud.

"I was just worried he'd be lonely! I didn't doubt you, why are you yelling at me? Stop crying, it's all my fault, okay? The past is the past, right? Let's just treat him as your second boyfriend, okay?"

Just as the couple was about to start their meal, Tong Zhi knocked on the door, carrying a bottle of cabbage and a serving of braised pig's head.

Tong Zhi was incredibly itchy to get drunk since he didn't have to work tomorrow. So he thought he'd try to get Da Zhuang drunk tonight... even if He Yufen only came out for five minutes, that would be enough for him.

One minute to take off, one minute to put on, three minutes done.

"Hey! I've come at the perfect time! I don't have to work tomorrow, Da Zhuang, how about we have a drink?"

Before Da Zhuang could speak, Tong Zhi had already carried the food and drinks straight to the table. Da Zhuang had intended to say he wasn't feeling well and would drink next time, but Tong Zhi had already casually pulled up a stool and sat down...

"Yufen, please get Tong Zi a set of chopsticks and a bowl! We haven't had a drink together in a long time... You should sit down too."

Da Zhuang thought that a bottle of Lotus White wine wouldn't make the two of them drunk... so a little tonight would be fine.

And so the two of them started clinking glasses and exchanging toasts...

To avoid suspicion, He Yufen didn't sit down; she knew Da Zhuang was testing her. So she went back to the kitchen to eat alone…

"I can see through this little trick."

At the dinner table, Da Zhuang brought up the matter of Tong Zhi finding a wife again.

"Tongzi, you're not getting any younger, you should hurry up and start doing things."

Tong Zhi had actually planned this all along: as soon as Da Zhuang's wife got pregnant, he would apply to go to a third-tier city, leaving Beijing behind and running away. Then he'd see who could stop him from finding a wife...

"No rush, no rush, take your time! Let's drink..."
