Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

To put it another way

In the Zhou family's courtyard within the naval compound.

After dinner, the three girls worked together to clean up. Some washed the dishes, some wiped the table and swept the floor, and some made the bed and prepared hot water for washing their feet.

She hadn't taken the incident of beating up those unruly kids from the army compound that evening to heart at all, and figured they wouldn't dare cause trouble now. If they dared to come again, she'd have Li Wenya beat them up again…

Unbeknownst to them, after they left, Zhong Yuemin's three unruly children were given another beating by the Lin family. Zheng Tong now regrets it! She shouldn't have gone out with Zhong Yuemin.

Now that Li Wenya has become familiar with Zhou Xiaobai and the others, Lin Chen will no longer allow his little cabbage to be coveted.

You can grow your own vegetables in the garden, but don't even think about it.

In the kitchen, Hao Dongmei leaned close to Zhou Xiaobai and lowered her voice.

"Xiaobai, do you think it might be that Brother Lin Chen taught her kung fu and that target practice? Think about it, Brother Lin Chen can hit a street lamp, so target practice must be a piece of cake for him. Didn't you say that Lin Zhendong also knows kung fu? They're neighbors, so I don't think this is a doubt."

Zhou Xiaobai slowly turned around and glanced at Li Wenya, who was wiping the dining table. If she could score 90 points, her mother would definitely praise her.

"Definitely, she just let it slip herself! We'll have to get the truth out of her later, what is it that Brother Lin Chen told us not to say?"

It's still a time when everyone is a soldier, and schools teach how to use rifles. The reason Lin Chen showed off his skills that night was to give them room to imagine.

The two sisters exchanged a smile and nodded, their meaning quite clear. As for why they acted this way, they themselves couldn't explain it.

Since Director Hao and his wife returned to Shenyang, Hao Dongmei and Zhou Xiaobai have become inseparable. Having just entered puberty, they are curious about everything…

Now that their parents are not around, they have become like free little birds.

eight pm

Three little girls lay on a large bed, with Li Wenya sandwiched in the middle. It was as if to prevent her from running away…

"Wenya, don't you think we're best friends?"

Zhou Xiaobai thought that now that Li Wenya had eaten and drunk his food, shouldn't she help him?

Little did she know, while they were eating and drinking her food, they were also planning to sell her off later! As for Qin Huairu stepping down, that was absolutely impossible. You could only be maids in the side quarters…

"Of course! What's wrong? I was even planning to invite you to my house! My sister's been away lately, she's been helping Bai Ling with the baby. Come over tomorrow night and keep me company!"

Song Yanzi has been getting closer to Tian Yezi and He Xiulian lately, so Li Wenya is really the only one at home in the backyard.

Zhou Xiaobai and the other person were overjoyed; they had been waiting for these words.

"That's a good idea, but what we're really interested in is how you know kung fu. And you seem really good at it. Tell us about it. We'd love to take on three of you at once..."

At this moment, Hao Dongmei also turned to look at the other person.

"I'm not interested in kung fu, I'm interested in what you usually eat? How come you're bigger than ours?"

Zhou Xiaobai is still thinking about dealing with Xiao Zhendong, so she's most concerned about kung fu. Hao Dongmei, on the other hand, is concerned about her figure; only with a good figure can she have any real assets.

Li Wenya looked at the two curious children and grinned mischievously: "I can't tell you this! Although we are good friends, but... but Brother Lin Chen doesn't allow it. But don't worry, not everyone knows how to build a courtyard house. Xiao Jiedi and Xiao Hua don't know that much, and Qiao Qiqi and the others don't know that either."

Seeing that the other was talking more and more and was about to give in, Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei started to use their emotional appeal and persuasion again...

After some back and forth, Xiao Wenya pretended to give in. "Now you're begging me, not the other way around."

"Alright, alright, stop shaking me, I'll tell you, okay? My kung fu was taught by Brother Lin Chen, but you absolutely can't tell anyone. As for what we eat, I'll tell you later, you're all little beans."

Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei exchanged a smile; they knew they could trap each other. Now they'd confessed!

"See, see, I told you it must have been Brother Lin Chen who taught us. We should learn from him next time we see him. Since he promised our parents he would take care of us, he should teach us a few ways to protect ourselves! If it weren't for you with us today, we wouldn't have been able to chase away those three scoundrels..."

"Xiao Bai is right. Since we've been entrusted with this task, we should do our duty. Let's go find him tomorrow..."

At this moment, Xiao Wenya secretly rejoiced, thinking, "Isn't it so easy to take her home now!"

"Wenya, would it be convenient for us to stay at your place tomorrow night?"

Li Wenya thought it was exactly what she wanted, she had been waiting for you!

"Of course it's convenient. I'll stew a chicken for you. But there's one thing: we absolutely mustn't talk loudly tonight. Our kang (heated brick bed) is directly above Lin Chen's house next door. If we speak too loudly, he'll hear us..."

This wasn't a warning from Li Wenya; it was clearly a reminder: the walls have ears!

Sure enough, Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei became even more excited after the little girl's comment. They never imagined their two families lived only a wall apart—how wonderful!

"Don't worry! We promise we won't cause any trouble... By the way, why didn't we see your wife when we went to the courtyard house last time? Did she go back to her parents' house? Is she back yet?"

Hao Dongmei is now inquiring about Qin Huairu again, and Li Wenya naturally answers fluently.

"Sister-in-law Huairu is still in her postpartum period. She finds the hospital noisy and doesn't get enough rest, so she rarely stays there after getting pregnant. She'll probably be back soon! When she comes back, we'll be having a full-month celebration for Xiaolin Feng. How about you all come and join us? After all, your two families are friends with Brother Lin Chen's family."

Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei didn't care about seating arrangements; they were just thinking that Qin Huairu's absence was a good opportunity.

If you're trying to poach someone, you have to do it when they're vulnerable, otherwise you might get caught.

"It's great to have a feast! We haven't had one in so long!"

Peking Union Medical College Hospital main entrance

After saying goodbye to Master Niu, Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang quietly sneaked back to Jiudaowanzi.

As luck would have it, they passed by the alley where Widow Chen lived. Tong Zhi didn't care; he just wanted to get home. After all, he and Da Zhuang were bound to have bad luck eight out of ten times they walked at night…

But Da Zhuang couldn't move! This was the path he had deliberately led him down.

"Wait, wait, brother, look!"

Tong Zhi stopped walking after being pulled back by his good friend...

"What are you looking at? There's nobody here!"

Da Zhuang gave a sly smile and then lowered his voice.

"Isn't that Widow Chen's house over there? Since you're already here, why don't you go and have some fun?"

When Tong Zhi realized it was only a little past eight o'clock, he immediately shook his head.

"No way, no way. I've been having a run of bad luck lately. What if something goes wrong?"

Tong Zhi wasn't stupid; he no longer completely trusted Da Zhuang. Therefore, he would carefully consider any suggestions his good brother came up with.

"Look at you, you coward! What are you afraid of at eight o'clock?"
