Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Lin Chen fussed over his wife's pet cat for a while, but Liao Yimei and the others didn't notice anything unusual.

"Alright, you guys go ahead and try it now! Believe me or not, it will never step into this kitchen again in its entire life. It's not surprising that the tiger in Guanhuyuan is raised by me and obeys my commands, but I've hardly ever fed Xiaomo's big fat cat!"

Curious, the women carried the large, fat cat towards the kitchen. Sure enough, before they even got close, the usually docile orange cat started to get restless. It kept trying to wriggle out of Sun Xiaomo's hands…

As soon as Sun Xiaomo put the cat down in the kitchen, the cat let out a sharp cry and darted away, disappearing from sight. It seemed startled by something…

This cat usually follows people into the kitchen to freeload, but I never expected it to become so afraid of the kitchen after being petted by its brother Lin Chen!

"Hey, now we can finally relax! We don't have to worry about Jia Zhangshi and the others coming into our yard..."

These days, the Lin family's luxurious lifestyle can't be shown to outsiders. Living in Guanhu Garden is fine, but living in No. 72 Courtyard is a different story. Wen Yunqing and the others are most worried about neighbors visiting. Now that Lin Chen has demonstrated hypnosis, they won't have to worry about that anymore.

Liao Yimei patted Song Yanzi and then laughed.

“You little rascal, can you look further ahead? Your brother Lin Chen’s amazing medical skills are incredibly useful. For example, if anyone tries to cause trouble for our Lin family, we can just hypnotize them. Wouldn’t that solve the problem once and for all…”

Lin Chen sat alone at the dining table, sipping his wine, listening to his wife chattering away by the kitchen door.

Fortunately, no one questioned his medical skills, otherwise it would have been hard to explain why Liu Haizhong and the others suddenly stopped visiting each other!

Lin Chen wouldn't tell anyone about his trump card...

However, they were talking about how to use hypnosis, but suddenly changed the subject and started discussing the formation for tonight.

Tian Yezi and He Xiulian were so frightened that they quickly hid, because they really dared not follow along anymore. It was just too torturous; watching it too much made them want to try it themselves. It was better to just not see it…

"Hey, why are you two back so fast? Where are they?"

Tian Yezi blushed slightly and bit her lip: "They...they are looking for Sister Xiaomo's cat. Brother Lin Chen, try this dish I cooked."

Tian Yezi picked up some food and He Xiulian poured wine. They finally understood why Ding Qiunan was in such a hurry.

Soon Zhang Duoduo and Ye Xiaolang returned in their dance costumes, and the banquet continued.

Even though the dance costumes are a bit thin as the weather warms up, Zhang Duoduo and her apprentice Ye Xiaolang can still pull them off.

Now, courtyard number 69 is filled with laughter, singing, and dancing...

Baifuquan Farm outside Beijing.

After dinner, Sun Shaoan and several of his close roommates were doing laundry.

This kid has been at the farm for a while now, but he's always been working hard there. While others are thinking about going to the city to see the world, he's never even considered it.

"Shao'an, our group definitely got the highest work points this time. How about we go into town to check things out after we exchange our tickets in a few days..."

The educated youth were provided with food and drink for free by the farm canteen, so there was no such thing as a salary. However, they earned work points for their work, which could be exchanged for cash coupons, and then they could buy basic necessities.

"You guys go ahead, but I won't go. I want to send the money back to my hometown. My grandma has never had a white flour bun before..."

Just as the group was happily discussing the uses of the exchanged money tickets, a sullen Li Xiangqian came over to do laundry.

The young man had already gone into town twice, but he still hadn't seen Tian Yezi. Moreover, Xu Aiyun's attitude made him feel that something was seriously wrong…

"Sun Shaoan, are you out of your mind? If you're always thinking about your family, why did you even come here? Are you deliberately trying to go against me?"

Li Xiangqian had no idea that Secretary Lin had already taken advantage of Tian Yezi. He believed that Tian Yezi was avoiding him entirely because of Sun Shaoan. If Sun Shaoan hadn't come to Beijing with him, he would have easily won Tian Yezi over.

Sun Shaoan was immediately displeased when he heard the barbed words from the other party! How dare a defeated opponent dare to make such a fuss?

Sun Shaoan was an outstanding representative in the village, which is why he had the opportunity to get a spot to stand out. What business is it of yours whether I come to the farm or not?

"Li Xiangqian, if you keep babbling on, I'll beat you to death! Who do you think you are? You're the one with a screw loose. Have you forgotten you're on the train again?"

The two young men had been ignoring each other for days, but Li Xiangqian was still bothered by it. So he broke the silence and came to cause trouble for Sun Shaoan again...

"Come on, come on, punch me here. Let me tell you the truth! My parents have already formally asked someone to propose marriage to the Tian family. Even if you chase her all the way to Beijing, it won't do you any good. Have you seen Ye Zi these days? Do you even know where she lives?"

Sun Shaoan had never left the farm, so how would he know where Tian Yezi lived? However, in order to provoke him, Li Xiangqian deliberately said that he had seen Tian Yezi on both of his trips back to the city.

Now they're trying to provoke him by proposing marriage to the Tian family; isn't that just picking a fight?

"You bastard, you're the one who told me to hit you... Everyone heard it!"

Li Xiangqian saw that Sun Shaoan, who was rushing towards him, made no attempt to dodge. It wasn't that the young man was terrified! It was that he was doing it on purpose…

This guy has decided that Sun Shaoan is the biggest obstacle between him and Tian Yezi, so he's been thinking about how to get rid of Sun Shaoan these past two days. As long as he can get rid of him, he'll have Tian Yezi easily.

After much deliberation, Li Xiangqian could only resort to a self-inflicted injury scheme! Sun Shaoan was impulsive, and if he made a serious mistake... the farm would send him back to his hometown, at which point Li Xiangqian would have no rivals left.

Li Xiangqian was hit hard and fell to the ground with a scream. Sun Shaoan was not satisfied and started kicking him repeatedly.

Li Xiangqian has figured out this calculated self-inflicted injury! He just doesn't know that Tian Yezi has already delivered seafood to Secretary Lin, and he's still foolishly causing trouble for Sun Shaoan.

Moreover, even if Sun Shaoan were to cripple him now, Secretary Lin would not allow Sun Shaoan to return to Yuanxi County.

Secretary Lin had said long ago that Sun Shaoan and my courtyard house were destined to meet.

The other people here also disliked Li Xiangqian and his family, who were children of officials, and now no one was trying to break up the fight.

Li Xiangqian's self-inflicted injury was truly bitter; Sun Shaoan mounted the boy and gave him another beating. It wasn't until Liang Qunfeng and the other cadres' children heard the commotion and ran over that the two were finally separated.

As expected, Sun Shaoan was put in solitary confinement, but Li Xiangqian fared much worse! He was beaten until his head was swollen like a pig's head...

Li Xiangqian, who was being carried up, had a nosebleed all over his face, which looked quite frightening late at night.

"Sun Shaoan, you just wait, I'll report you. You just wait..."

At this point, a group of Sun Shaoan's friends stood up to testify that Li Xiangqian had started the trouble first.

The farm's director is now a member of the Lin family. Since someone testified that Li Xiangqian deliberately allowed himself to be beaten, then there's an explanation! After all, Sun Shaoan is a model worker on the farm; he certainly wouldn't beat someone arbitrarily.
