Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

After sending He Daqing away, Lin Chen received a live feed from the mechanical girl.

He Xiulian and Tian Yezi chatted until very late last night before going to sleep, and they are still not awake.

Lin Chen knew exactly what they were talking about, since the two seemingly asleep mechanics were actually on standby 24/7. They were just pretending to be asleep!

Lin Chen didn't provide them with breakfast; from today onwards, they'd have to go back to eating their own mixed-grain steamed buns. After all, anyone with an intimacy level below 80 wasn't considered part of the Lin family…

Arranging sleeper berths for them was also a way to avoid Sun Shaoan and Li Xiangqian, to separate them from them in advance.

Eight in the morning

The train stopped at Baoding Station...

Sun Shaoan and Li Xiangqian were also released by the railway police. Both young men wrote guarantees promising not to fight on the train again. Seeing their sincere attitude and knowing they were both educated youth going to Baifuquan Farm, they were allowed to return…

Li Xiangqian was furious after suffering a loss, but he really couldn't beat the tall and strong Sun Shaoan.

“Sun Shaoan, don’t be so arrogant. Brute force alone is useless. My father is County Magistrate Li…we’ll see.”

Sun Shaoan thought to himself, "Is this all the ambition you've got? Once we get to Baifuquan Farm, even if your dad is the King of Heaven, it won't make a difference."

"What did you say? You dare threaten me? Even if your dad is the governor, he still has to be reasonable. Who do you think you are... Believe me, I'll beat you up when we get to the farm."

The two of them started arguing instead of fighting, their spittle flying all over the carriage. Then, He Xiulian accompanied Tian Yezi...

After spending a day and a night together, Tian Yezi and He Xiulian have become close friends who can talk about anything, especially after Lin Chen's two subordinates instigated them last night.

Now Tian Yezi plans to listen to He Xiulian and explain to the two young men that she doesn't like them. Their fighting has nothing to do with her...

"You two, stop arguing! Yezi has something to say to you..."

At this moment, Li Xiangqian hurriedly turned around, and He Xiulian burst out laughing. Seeing the other party's embarrassed appearance after being beaten, the young girl couldn't help but laugh.

Tian Yezi, on the other hand, was more reserved. When she looked at the two of them again, she still didn't feel the same way as yesterday.

"Can you two please stop fighting... My parents don't want me to get married so early, and I don't like you either. So from now on, don't come looking for me with ulterior motives. We're just ordinary friends. Sun Shaoan, if you regret it and want to go back, I can ask my second uncle to help you get home through connections."

Sun Shaoan was stunned. He had thought that without Tian Futang and his wife guarding her, it would be easier to win over Tian Yezi. What was going on?

Unlike Sun Shaoan, Li Xiangqian had the approval of the Tian family elders. Therefore, he believed that Tian Yezi was trying to get rid of Sun Shaoan… and that punch he took was totally worth it!

“Sun Shaoan, did you hear that? Ye Zi told you to get lost! She’s a violent maniac, and I’m the only one who can take the beating! If that punch lands on Ye Zi in the future, you’ll be dead. You’d better go back now! We’ll call it even, and my dad can take care of it for you without Uncle Fu Jun having to pull any strings.”

Sun Shaoan was dumbfounded! He also thought that he had scared Tian Yezi by being too excited yesterday.

“Ye Zi, I’m not going back, no matter what. We’ll only be able to farm our whole lives in this poor mountain village. I came out here to give the Sun family a chance. Grandma says this is an opportunity…”

Sun Shaoan thought that if he left now, wouldn't that be giving Li Xiangqian an advantage? He couldn't possibly go back now.

Tian Yezi looked at the two of them and said again, "Anyway, I've already made it clear to you that you didn't discuss this with me before you came. We're not dating, so I can't control what you think."

The young girl's meaning was clear: she had not only rejected Sun Shaoan from her village, but also Li Xiangqian, the son of the deputy county magistrate…

As Tian Yezi led He Xiulian away, the people on the train began to whisper among themselves.

Li Xiangqian, however, was secretly delighted. Once he got rid of Sun Shaoan, winning over Tian Yezi would be a sure thing…

Looking at Li Xiangqian's smug expression, Sun Shaoan really wanted to beat this bastard to death.

Li Xiangqian, this simpleton, has already taken the blame for himself before even entering Beijing.

He was still naively convinced that Tian Yezi was trying to drive Sun Shaoan away, which was why she was acting this way... After all, he was standing with Sun Shaoan, and anyone who wasn't blind would know which choice to make.

"Li Xiangqian, don't be so smug. I'm not going back. Stop dreaming..."

Although they dared not lay a hand on each other, the two young men continued arguing.

The same train carriage was now divided into two factions: one supporting Sun Shaoan, comprised of the poor and impoverished, while the other supporting Li Xiangqian, consisting of the sons and nephews of officials…

The whole carriage suddenly became lively. Sun Shaoan, encouraged by everyone, was now determined not to go back to his hometown in northern Shaanxi. It was no big deal to refuse steamed buns and fight for pride!

"Fine, fine, Sun Shaoan, just you wait! My dad and Uncle Fujun are comrades-in-arms... Let's see what you have to offer me."

Sijiucheng

Red Star Hospital

Lin Chen entered Qi Weiyi's hospital room...

When Wei Shufang saw that it was Secretary Lin who came in, she quickly stood up!

"Secretary Lin, you've arrived. Please sit down and rest. Let me get you some water..."

"Sister-in-law, don't bother. I just came to check on how this rascal is recovering."

Sanli and Simei only told their sister-in-law Xia Dongmei that they were already Lin Chen's women, but not their aunt Wei Shufang. Therefore, Lin Chen didn't stand on ceremony with them...

Qi Weiyi was still wrapped up like a rice dumpling when he saw that an old man had arrived! So he forced himself to sit up...

"Uncle Lin, I'm sorry, I was wrong! I'll never betray the people of the Siheyuan again, not many of them in Jiudaowanzi... Please forgive me this time."

Wei Shufang helped her son sit up, and she joined in apologizing and pleading. She knew it must have been her husband's pleading with Secretary Lin a couple of days earlier that had worked!

Lin Chen wanted to punch this disloyal, unfilial, heartless, and unjust guy, but unfortunately, there was nowhere to do it right now. Next time, he'd definitely have to do it himself…

"Stop, stop, stop! I promised Comrade Qi I'd come and check on you, not to hear your apologies. What are you apologizing to me for? You didn't cause any trouble for the Lin family. You should apologize to everyone in the compound... You seem to be speaking with plenty of energy, so you should be alright. As for where it is... Sister-in-law, you should go out first so I can check you out..."

Wei Shufang walked out of the ward with a mournful face, but she was stunned as soon as she stepped out... It was as if she saw her younger self.

Factory Director Ma is currently accompanying his wife, Jiang Dehua, for a medical check-up. Jiang Dehua looks exactly like Wei Shufang from years ago.

Seeing Jiang Dehua holding her son with such affection reminded Wei Shufang of how she herself had held her child years ago. It was exactly the same…

Wei Shufang only began wiping away her tears after Jiang Dehua had carried the child away into the distance.
