Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

After work, Wu'er went to talk to Xiao Yangzi and the others about Sha Zhu's nickname.

The aunties in the yard all pursed their lips and didn't stop him. They all felt that Sha Zhu should be called Sha Zhu, but because Sha Zhu was now the canteen director, they didn't dare to call him that.

Since Wu'er took the lead in speaking out, they were naturally happy to listen.

Not long after Sha Zhu got off work, he heard that the kids knew his nickname, Sha Zhu.

But Sha Zhu didn't care too much. He had a wife and children at home now, so as long as they didn't yell in front of him, he didn't care.

Even if he shouts, he's still a child, so you can grab him and slap his butt a few times to satisfy your urge, which is good.

Qin Huairu refused to give in. She called Xiao Yangzi over and asked a few questions. She immediately found out that it was Wu'er who spread the news first.

He then found Wu Juan and told her about this.

When Wu Juan heard this, she was so angry that she pulled Wu'er out from the group of other children and spanked her twice.

Soon Wu'er told the whole story. When Wu Juan learned that it was He who said it, she became furious again and took Wu'er to find He Lai.

"Xiao Lai, why did you tell everyone Zhuzi's nickname!" Wu Juan glared at He Lai angrily.

"Ah? Mom, it's just a nickname. Zhuzi has a child and a wife now, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to find a wife. It doesn't matter whether he has a nickname or not."

He Lai said Sha Zhu's nickname, so he was naturally not afraid of Wu Juan coming to question him.

As for Qin Huairu, she didn't dare to come to He Lai to ask for accountability.

"It's easy for you to say that. It was you who corrected Zhuzi's nickname back then. Why are you still mentioning the name Shazhu now?"

Wu Juan was speechless.

"Mom, you don't know that Brother Zhuzi slandered me in front of Wu'er, so I mentioned it in front of Wu'er. It's not my fault."

He Lai argued.

"What are you slandering? Zhuzi is much less troublesome than you. He loves his children and his wife. Every day, except for work, he stays at home. Unlike you, you just run outside every day. Now Wu'er has been led wild by you and doesn't even want to stay in the courtyard."

Wu Juan said a lot in one breath.

"Mom, you are a little biased. I am really a little sad." After He said this, he pretended to be a little sad, hugged Wu'er, turned around, and started sobbing.

"Brother, don't cry. Brother, don't cry." Wu'er said, and wiped He Lai's eyes with her sleeve.

"Uh..." Wu Juan was speechless for a moment. She had never thought that He Lai was so fragile. Why did he start crying after just saying a few words to her?

Yu Shui hugged He Tong without saying a word. She knew that her brother Lai was not that fragile and was probably trying to fool Wu Juan again.

Seeing He Lai's aggrieved look, Wu Juan sighed helplessly and thought, forget it, it's not a big deal anyway.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. You're crying like a girl. It's embarrassing."

He Lai turned around when he heard the voice, without a trace of tears on his face.

"Hey, mom, I know you feel sorry for me."

Wu Juan rolled her eyes and said, "Stop talking nonsense and stop calling Zhuzi by his nickname."

"I know, I know." He Lai agreed readily.

"And you," Wu Juan looked at Wu'er, "Don't follow your brother's example in the future, or who will be willing to marry a crazy girl like you when you grow up!"

Wu'er blinked and said, "I don't want to get married. I want to stay with my brother forever."

He Lai smiled proudly and took Wu'er's hand, "Come on, let's ignore mom, and I'll take you to buy something delicious."

After saying that, the two of them ran away without a trace, leaving Wu Juan standing there, shaking her head and sighing.

"Mom, just leave it at that. Let them handle it themselves." Yu Shui comforted her.

After all, Yu Shui didn't think that Wu Juan could deal with He Lai, unless Wu Juan took action, as talking probably wouldn't work.

"Oh, it's all over. What should I do when Wu'er grows up?" Wu Juan sighed.

"It's too early, mom. Once Wu'er goes to school, she will be sensible."

Rainwater laughed.

"Do you think mother should help Wu'er find a childhood sweetheart, a pair of innocent children, and raise them together. Take care of Wu'er, just like you and Xiao Laizi, so that you don't have to worry about her when she grows up."

Wu Juan held Yu Shui's hand and said.

Yu Shui's face instantly turned red, "Who does mother want to find?"

"Mom thinks that Xiaobao from the eldest uncle's family and Jiayin from Damao's family are both good and well-behaved."

Wu Juan thought about it and naturally thought of the two children in the yard who were the same age as Wu'er.

"Then I'll find opportunities to let them interact more often in the future, maybe we can get one!"

"Okay, it'd be best if it's the eldest uncle's child. It's not that Damao's child is bad, but there's a generation difference. I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

"Okay, I'll find a chance to try."

"You have a good relationship with Auntie, so you can definitely borrow Xiaobao from her."

……

Just like that, Wu Juan and Yu Shui began to plot against Yi Zhonghai's beloved son under the witness of He Tong.

Wu'er, who didn't know what was going on, was licking cream ice cream in the newly opened Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative at the door under the guidance of He Lai.

……

That day, Yu Shui came to He Lai's office with Wu'er and Yi Xiaobao.

"Hey, Yushui, why did you bring Xiaobao here as well? Did Auntie agree?"

He Lai smiled. He knew that Yi Xiaobao was under the watchful eyes of an old lady every day and he couldn't leave for a moment.

"Brother Lai, look at what you said, of course you agree, if you don't agree, can I bring him here?" Yu Shui said proudly, and then turned to Yi Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, come and play with Wu'er at brother's place today, okay?"

"Okay, Sister Yushui." Yi Xiaobao nodded obediently.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Come on, I'll leave them to you."

After saying this, Yu Shui left.

"Brother, I want to eat mango!" Wu'er started to eat as soon as the rain stopped.

"Take one from the drawer and get one for Xiaobao as well," He said.

Wu'er ran to He Lai, skillfully opened the bottom drawer, took out two big mangoes, and gave one to Yi Xiaobao.

Then he sat alone on the sofa and started peeling the mango.

"Thank you, Brother Lai, and Sister Wu'er."

"Well, Xiaobao, sit down and eat. There is a towel on the wall, remember to wipe your mouth after eating."

"Okay, come on brother."

Yi Xiaobao had never eaten mango before, so he could only sit next to Wu'er, watching her movements and learning how to peel a mango.

Wu'er had already peeled the mango and started eating it, but Yi Xiaobao didn't even peel the skin of the mango and kept picking at it.

"You are so stupid. Use force. Dig your fingernails in first, then pull it down with force."

Wu'er held the mango in her left hand and helped Yi Xiaobao to pick the mango with her right hand.

Sure enough, with Wu'er's hands-on guidance, Yi Xiaobao quickly learned how to peel a mango.

He Lai looked at the two little guys eating mangoes and felt amused. It was the same mango, but they were eating it in two completely different ways.

Yi Xiaobao looked very cautious and ate slowly, fearing that the mango juice would leak out.

Wu'er ate very wildly, taking big bites. Fortunately, she knew her limits and leaned forward while eating, so the juice flowed onto the ground instead of falling on the sofa.
