Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

In the next room, Hao Dongmei whispered something in her sister's ear.

"Xiao Bai, Lin Zhendong's brother... ptooey, ptooey, his dad is really nice! Yesterday he treated us to fresh fruit, and today he's inviting us to stay for roast duck. My parents said we can't eat it without duck tickets, so we're in for a treat this time!"

The bond between father and daughter is undeniable, and Zhou Xiaobai is now pondering the meaning behind Uncle Lin's words.

“Sister Dongmei, why don’t you stay in my house instead of going back to Shenyang? You can stay at my house and go to school with me… My parents are often away from home, and your parents are often away from home too. You can keep me company on your way to school.”

Hao Dongmei dared not agree directly, after all, her home was in Shenyang, not in Beijing.

It was precisely because the Hao family was in Shenyang that Lin Chen persuaded the Zhou father and daughter to stay. After all, Zhou Zhennan and his wife were about to take up their posts in Qingdao... and they were worried about their daughter.

"Will my parents agree? I want to play with you too, but this is going to be difficult!"

While enjoying drinks with the three next door, Lin Chen listened to their conversation. This was indeed a difficult situation, but what could he do when Uncle Lin had so many ideas?

Those who need to be sent away should be sent away, and those who need to be recruited should not be left out.

"Uncle Lin just told me to hang out with you, talking about all sorts of things, from black to red."

The two girls dressed up beautifully today to impress Secretary Lin, but they didn't realize they had already met him yesterday.

The daughter-in-law is definitely out of the running now, but the stepmother can try her luck.

In the courtyard

After Qiangzi returned with the news, he went straight to the little monkey's room... Even Cai Quanwu was still unaware of what had happened tonight.

The little monkey, seeing Qiangzi return, eagerly asked, "What did Grandpa Niu say?"

Qiangzi peered through the crack in the door to observe the west courtyard again before turning around.

"There's a cluster of dilapidated, uninhabited houses between Xinjiekou and Badawan. They're lying in ambush there. There are twenty young men in total..."

After calculating, the little monkey nodded in satisfaction. Twenty it is, we only have fifteen here.

"Okay, okay, did you tell Boss Niu that we need to help too? Tell him to send people to go easy on us. Don't let them actually beat us up..."

Qiangzi definitely won't forget this, otherwise the people in the courtyard would suspect him. A self-inflicted injury ruse needs to be acted convincingly...

"Everything is arranged! I'm going home to sleep. I'll come wake you up around 1 a.m.

So Qiangzi sneaked back to his home, only to find that Jia Zhangshi had prepared water for him to wash his feet as soon as he got there.

"Sister Zhang, did the sun rise in the west today? You didn't mess things up again, did you?"

After chuckling, Jia Zhangshi was about to help Qiangzi wash his feet. Although she hadn't caused any trouble, she genuinely had something to discuss...

"Look at you, you good-for-nothing coward. Isn't it good enough that I treat you well?"

Qiangzi didn't believe her. He thought that if someone was being unusually attentive, they must be up to no good!

"Tsk tsk tsk, I wouldn't dare ask you for help if you hadn't told me."

Qiangzi took off his shoes and socks to wash his feet, but Jia Zhangshi, seeing that he didn't appreciate it, decided to confront him directly.

"Qiangzi, you don't know, something big happened in the East Wing right after you left! Brother Lin helped Master Wang get back two thousand yuan for medical expenses. That's two thousand yuan! Have you ever seen such a thick stack of ten-yuan bills? My goodness! It's worth breaking your leg for that."

Seeing Jia Zhangshi's animated gestures and explanations, Qiangzi, who was washing his feet, was stunned. He desperately needed money to treat his illness; who wouldn't be tempted by so much money?

"How much? Two thousand yuan! My goodness, that's more than you could spend even if you broke your legs!"

These days, even if someone dies in a workplace injury, the compensation is only a few hundred yuan. But crippling a younger brother means a compensation of two thousand yuan. It's absolutely terrifying…

"Yes! Liu Haizhong handed the money to Master Wang in front of everyone."

Qiangzi had lost all interest in washing his feet; he stared blankly toward the east courtyard.

"Damn it, that old guy's got a good life. Yan Bugui and his gang actually gave him a way to make money. No wonder I heard Iron Rooster crying when I passed by the Yan family just now. I thought it was Yang Ruihua again, but I didn't expect it to be this."

Yan Bugui was so angry he almost vomited blood, so he's not at home crying his eyes out right now.

The third aunt couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to the west courtyard to sleep with Jie Di and Xiao Hua.

"That's not true! They didn't pay a single cent. Let's not talk about that now. What I want to discuss with you is how we can turn that two thousand yuan into ours."

Qiangzi frowned immediately upon seeing Jia Zhangshi's cheerful expression. This guy knew his wife too well. She always had a few mischievous ideas, but they always ended up causing some kind of accident.

"Sister Zhang, just say what you want to say. You already have your thoughts, don't you? Don't I know you?"

Jia Zhangshi immediately patted Qiangzi on the shoulder and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Qiangzi, how about this? We'll get a fake divorce and I'll marry that bastard... When we get the money back, we'll split it 70/30, I'll get 70% and you get 30%, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Qiangzi nearly splashed a basin of foot-washing water on Jia Zhangshi's face. "Does this guy think I'm stupid? You think you'll still want a share of the money after the divorce? I don't believe you for a second! You're just greedy and want to kick me to the curb, aren't you?"

Logically speaking, Qiangzi had wanted a divorce for a long time, but now he still needed Lin Chen to help him get treatment and have a son. Otherwise, this guy would have run away long ago!

Lin Chen had personally told him that the first course of treatment would only allow him to stand up. However, the chances of him having a baby were less than 10%... He would need a second course of treatment to have a baby.

That's why Qiangzi has endured humiliation and stayed for the past two years, and Cai Quanwu has been married for over half a year. Fatty hasn't made a move either! It's all because of this.

"Get lost! You think I'm kidding me? You think I'd believe you that you'd share any money with me after the divorce?"

Wang Baye is rich now, but he has basically nothing else! And this trip will take almost half a year, so nobody knows if he'll be able to make a comeback.

Jia Zhangshi genuinely wanted to keep Qiangzi this time, but unfortunately, Qiangzi didn't trust her.

"Are you fucking stupid?! Would I ever fall for that old bastard? I love you! Do you think I'd really marry a good-for-nothing? We're just trying to squeeze money out of him. Once we've drained him dry, I'll come back to you, okay?"

Jia Zhangshi now wants to make money and keep Qiangzi at the same time, otherwise she is afraid that after she kicks Wang Baye out, she will no longer have Qiangzi as her ally.

Although Jia Zhangshi's words made sense, Qiangzi still didn't believe that such a good thing could happen.

Although the other residents were envious of the two thousand yuan, they didn't try to get it... Only Jia Zhangshi dared to take action; the others wouldn't dare to do that.

"Don't give me that crap. I have a feeling you're trying to dump me. No way..."

Madam Jia began to patiently persuade Qiangzi again, after all, this time she was serious. The money was simply too tempting…

"Let me explain slowly! This isn't something that can be resolved in a short time."

"Don't listen, don't listen!"
