Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Chen kicked her twice more. Jia Zhangshi, who had already been kicked three times, was now ashen-faced and unable to scream.

She is now wondering if Brother Lin was actually setting her bones but then took the opportunity to kick her.

"Oh my god, it hurts so much... Hahaha... Brother Lin, have mercy! Can I catch my breath and catch my breath?"

Seeing that the opponent could not withstand the sixth kick, Lin Chen clapped his hands.

"Alright, everyone, you can all go now! In a few days, Jia Zhangshi will be back to her old self, doing laundry and cooking, but she still needs to rest more these next few days. Otherwise, if she gets injured again, it won't be so easy to recover. I still have some things to take care of. I'll be back at noon to have lunch with everyone. You can all go and do your own things!"

"Uncle Lin, you go ahead and do your thing, we'll wait for you to come back. We're definitely going to have a few rounds of rock-paper-scissors with you today... I don't believe I can lose."

Everyone now thinks that the old man is going to cause trouble for the people at the front gate, but actually Lin Chen is going to plead for Director Hao.

As for those people at the front gate, they're just scapegoats; why would Lin Chen make things difficult for them? Otherwise, who would he blame later? As for the old swindler, he'll come knocking on his door seeking medical help...

Uncle Li and his nephew, who also didn't live in a courtyard house, still had to obediently send money and tickets over for treatment.

Lin Chen didn't need the money from Li Dazui and his nephew, but he wanted everyone in Dongcheng District to know that outsiders should never get involved in the affairs of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, or they would be in big trouble.

There's no way the old swindler can run away now. Even if Lin Chen has erased his memory of buying the house a few years ago, Lin Chen still won't let him go back to Northeast China.

After everyone dispersed, Jia Zhangshi was helped up by Qiangzi. The couple had just secured custody of the baby monkey, but hadn't even earned a single penny. And now they were being asked to host a lavish feast? Was this some kind of life-or-death situation?

“Qiangzi, go tell Xiao Houzi to make him pay for the remaining tables too. He said he's not short of money, but I don't have any and can't afford to pay. My back hurts so much... slow down, slow down, ouch...! I'm going to miss out on the meal today! He has to compensate me... He's the one who caused my back pain.”

Qiangzi helped Jia Zhangshi slowly back to the kang (a heated brick bed) and lay down. This woman now had difficulty even walking, let alone attending a banquet.

"Don't worry, Sister Zhang, I'll go talk to Little Monkey right now. He's the one who caused all of Grandma's troubles. Xu Damao and his gang are probably already thinking about how they'll get us in the future."

Qiangzi knew that even if he treated these people to drinks and food, they would still hold a grudge. He was only letting them off the hook for now because they had eaten his food, but that didn't mean he wouldn't get back at them later.

Nanzhu Hutong

Lin Chen's first stop every day is to visit Qin Huairu and her two children who are less than a month old.

Upon entering the hospital, I saw four girls: Tian Yezi, He Xiulian, Ding Qiunan, and Song Yanzi.

"Qiu Nan, didn't you go home?"

The little girl originally planned to go home, but even the closest family is still her family! She met Song Yanzi on the way, so the two held hands and ran over here to see her older sister.

"Brother Lin Chen, isn't this my home too? I can go over to my mom's place for lunch later, it's not too late."

Lin Chen laughed heartily and gave the other person a thumbs up: "Not bad, sensible! This is your home, and everyone in the Lin family will have a share of all the family's assets."

These four girls came here by chance today, because their wedding night is coming soon.

Qin Huairu and Bai Ling exchanged a smile: "They just came to plead with me and Bai Ling, hoping to get it done together. I think it's a good idea; there are auspicious days in May."

Tian Yezi and the others were blushing so deeply their faces were practically dripping with embarrassment. They had originally paired up, but after thinking about how terrifying their brother Lin Chen was, they decided to team up against him. After all, many hands make light work! If the Lin family lacked strength, they could make up for it with numbers. They had plenty of sisters; they were sure they could find help.

At this moment, Lin Chen, holding a little guy in one arm, looked at the group with a mischievous grin.

"I have no problem with that. Courtyard number seventy-two is almost finished. Let's arrange the bridal chamber there!"

Bai Ling frowned immediately upon hearing that she would be placed under the nose of the courtyard house.

"You're being way too bold!"

Qin Huairu chuckled, "I think that's a good idea. Being close by means I can spend more time with them. It's settled then! Anyway, no one will dare to bother them. You four, good luck..."

Qin Huairu would wholeheartedly agree to anything Lin Chen suggested, only because Wen Yunqing and Bai Ling were strict with her. Otherwise, Qin Huairu would have dared to send Qin Jingru, He Yushui, Xiao Haitang, Qiao Simei, and Xiao Wenya over together.

Bai Ling thought it made sense; who wouldn't want to spend more time together on their wedding night?

"Okay! It will definitely save two hours of running errands. Going back and forth to other courtyards takes too much time!"

Tian Yezi is currently spending time with Qin Huairu and the others in Nanzhu Hutong, while her second uncle's family has guests visiting.

Li Xiangqian's facial injuries had just healed a few days ago, so he took the opportunity of going to the city to visit the Tian family again.

Tian Fujun and his wife still warmly welcomed him, but the young man was a little disappointed that he didn't see the person he wanted to see again. He'd been in the city for so long and still hadn't seen Tian Yezi. Was she deliberately avoiding him?

"Uncle Fujun, isn't Yezi coming home for dinner today, it's Sunday?"

Tian Fujun had no idea about any of this; Xu Aiyun was in charge of everything now.

He was busy enough with the locomotive factory business; he simply didn't have time to worry about his niece.

“Your aunt said Yezi came back yesterday afternoon, but she went to attend a training course organized by their steel rolling mill today. So she won’t be coming back today… I haven’t seen her for half a month.”

Xu Aiyun told Tian Fujun all of this; he himself didn't know whether his niece had returned yesterday.

A few days ago, Xu Aiyun had already made a promise with Qin Huairu about Tian Yezi's future, so she had a hundred reasons to deceive her man.

Moreover, a week ago, Xu Aiyun had already sent a telegram to her elder brother and sister-in-law in Yuanxi County, making it clear that she would arrange a blind date for Tian Yezi with the son or nephew of a high-ranking official in Beijing, and that the Li family must refuse outright and not agree to it again.

She figured the Li family should have received a reply by now, but the young man in front of her just didn't know it yet!

Competition was fierce within the Changxin Locomotive Factory, and the Tian family had no foothold in Beijing. Tian Fujun could be replaced at any time, and now Qin Huairu had personally promised Xu Aiyun that as long as Tian Yezi became her sister, no one could replace Tian Fujun as factory director.

Xu Aiyun no longer cares about Deputy County Head Li; she's solely focused on getting her niece married into the Lin family. And she feels no guilt about it, since both parties are interested. They're a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman…

"Xiangqian, you two chat. Your aunt will go cook for you. I'll have a couple of drinks with your uncle at noon."

After handing her daughter over to her husband, Xu Aiyun went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

"Thank you, Auntie! I won't stay! I'm meeting up with a friend to go shopping later..."
