Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

A day later, He Lai brought back a wooden box and handed her to Yu Shui.

Yushui immediately closed the door and went into the bedroom carrying the box.

He Lai suddenly remembered the scene where Han Chunming teased Han's mother. He had an idea and went to the next door to call Wu Juan.

"Mom, Yu Shui wants to see you about something, so he wants you to come over now."

He Lai said, trying not to laugh.

"What's the matter? Mom still has to cook later!" Wu Juan asked.

"How would I know? Anyway, she is very secretive and won't let me in."

He Lai pretended not to know and said.

"Okay, okay, okay. Then you hold Tongtong. I'll be back soon. Don't take her out for walks. Don't catch a cold, or mom will really beat you."

When Wu Juan heard the mysterious question, she immediately agreed.

"I know, go ahead, mom!"

Wu Juan took off her apron, left the house and went next door.

He Lai chuckled, knowing that Wu Juan would come back after she left. That would be weird. If he waited for Wu Juan to come back and cook, he would probably go hungry.

He Lai held He Tong, took Wen'er and Wu'er to Sha Zhu's house for a meal, and of course brought a pound of meat with him.

Silly House

"Xiao Laizi, what's the meaning of you bringing me here to eat for free? Where are Auntie and Yushui? Are they not going to eat anymore?"

Sha Zhu asked curiously.

"Haha, they are eating right now. They are probably eating more delicious food than us!"

He Lai smiled.

"Really? What a delicious thing! Can you let me have a bite, or let my wife have a bite?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately spoke.

"No one else can eat that. Only Yu Shui and my mother can eat it."

He Lai smiled.

"Okay, okay, Zhuzi, stop talking. You keep asking nonsense questions all day long. Xiaolaizi, come and eat some fish. This black bass tastes delicious!"

Qin Huairu still understood what He Lai meant. It must be something only her family knew.

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law!" He Lai didn't bother to be polite with them. Anyway, Sha Zhu made a lot, so it would definitely be enough to eat.

Wu'er and Wen'er didn't need He to take care of them. Xi'er and Xiao Yangzi had already taken them over and gave them all kinds of food first.

"Sister Jingru, why are you so quiet?"

He came to see Qin Jingru and Qin Xiangru eating quietly together, so he mentioned it.

"Ah? Come on, brother, don't talk nonsense. I have always been very quiet."

Qin Jingru said with a crooked mouth.

"Yeah, you're very quiet, old Six!"

"Humph!"

"By the way, Jingru, has anyone in the factory introduced you to a date?"

"I didn't... didn't!" Qin Jingru quickly waved her hands.

"It looks like there is! Sister-in-law, you have to keep an eye on your sixth child. With her brain, she might have been sold to someone else and she's still helping others count money!"

He Lai reminded Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Jingru, and understood what He Lai meant, and asked, "Jingru, you should take it easy. If you are dating someone, please tell us so that we can help you investigate the other person's character, okay? In fact, I think Huzi is quite good."

"Yeah, I think Hu Zi is good too!" He Lai nodded.

Qin Jingru also wanted to marry Hu Zi, but Hu Zi had no feelings for her, and she couldn't force herself on him, so when someone mentioned this, she blushed and lowered her head.

"What's wrong, sister Jingru? Are you really dating Hu Zi?"

He Lai said.

"Hey, Brother Lai, didn't I tell you that I don't want to eat anymore?" Qin Jingru put down her chopsticks and went back angrily.

"Uh... don't go, don't go, I was wrong, I was wrong, I apologize, okay? You still have to eat."

He Lai smiled bitterly.

Qin Xiangru took the opportunity to grab Qin Jingru, obviously not wanting her to leave. In this courtyard, Qin Xiangru was most dependent on Qin Jingru. After all, Qin Huairu was much older than her, and Xiao Yangzi and the others were childish. Usually, only Qin Jingru could have a heart-to-heart chat with her.

"Come on, come on, eat a piece of braised pork. Consider it my apology to you." He Lai smiled and put a piece of braised pork into his bowl.

"Hmph." Although Qin Jingru still looked angry, her hands and mouth had already started to move. She picked up the meat and started chewing it vigorously.

After finishing the meal, Qin Huairu pulled Qin Jingru to the room to continue the previous topic. It seemed that she had to ask something. After all, as someone she brought up, she naturally didn't want Qin Jingru to have a bad life.

In fact, He Lai thinks that Qin Huairu treated Qin Jingru quite well in the original drama.

Although Qin Huairu had selfish motives in bringing her and Sha Zhu together, Sha Zhu was indeed a bachelor who knew how to cook. If Qin Jingru married him, she would never go hungry wherever she went.

Later, when Qin Jingru and Xu Damao hooked up together, Qin Huairu did not hold a grudge against Qin Jingru for this and did not help her. Instead, in order to help her, she even issued a fake pregnancy test report and staged the subsequent abortion scene. This was considered to be doing Qin Jingru justice.

It's a pity that Qin Jingru has long hair and short knowledge. She learned bad things from Xu Damao, a poor man. But this is also very common. After all, people are selfish.

Due to Xu Damao's instigation, the two sisters became enemies.

So, the cycle of cause and effect in this world is so magical, separation and reunion, one thing after another.

He Lai also carried He Tong, who was looking for her mother, back home, leaving Wu'er and Wen'er at Sha Zhu's house.

When I got home, I saw that the door was still closed, but not locked.

When He Lai pushed the door open, he heard a hurried voice.

"Close the door! Close the door quickly!"

When He Lai heard it, he knew it was Wu Juan's voice, so he had to close the door and said, "Yu Shui, Tong Tong is hungry, please feed her."

"Hey, wait, take her to eat the dragon fruit first, I'll feed her after I finish counting."

Yu Shui didn't even raise his head and continued counting the money, folding it into stacks.

He Lai just found it funny and said to his daughter, "My dear, your mother is obsessed with money and has forgotten you. Come on, let daddy get you something to eat!"

After saying that, he carried He Tong into the kitchen and took out a dragon fruit from the space.

When He Tong saw the dragon fruit that suddenly appeared in He Lai's hand, her eyes suddenly lit up and she reached out to grab the dragon fruit.

……

In this way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were counting money in the bedroom, and the father and daughter were sitting on the sofa eating dragon fruit. They were quite harmonious and no one bothered each other.

As for He Zhan, he probably saw that no one was at home, so he went to He Daqing's place to drink again.

After a long while, Wu Juan finally pulled He Lai in, while Yu Shui carried He Tong to the next room to feed her.

"Tell me, where did all this money come from? How do you have so much money?"

Wu Juan asked with a stern face. After all, the crime of embezzlement and bribery is not a small one. If it is discovered, there will be trouble.

"Mom, these are all earned by your son from selling wild boars or something!"

He Lai smiled.

"What? There are more than 100,000 of them here! How many wild boars do we need to catch? Don't lie to me!"

Wu Juan naturally knew about He Lai catching wild boars.

"Mom, think about how expensive pork was in those years. There was no pork on the market. I have two golden eagles, so sometimes I would take a gun and go hunting. I would catch a few wild boars and sell them to Fengze Garden or the steel mill. I had a purchasing certificate, so it wasn't illegal.

Two or three wild boars weigh nearly a thousand kilograms, and if you do it more often, you will naturally save more money.”

He Lai explained.

Wu Juan felt relieved when she thought about it. It seemed that He Lai often drove a truck out to do business before, and it turned out that he always went hunting in the mountains.

"You didn't even tell mom about this big thing. How can mom and Yu Shui bear it if so much money comes out all at once?"

Wu Juan said angrily.

"The money is here anyway. You and Yu Shui can decide for yourself who to put it with."

He Lai smiled.

"We definitely can't keep this money in the bank, or else Mom might be afraid someone will come looking for us, so let Yu Shui keep it."

"Yushui has to go to work, and there's no one at home, so mom should keep it. What if someone steals it?"

"Pah, pah, pah, you keep saying unlucky things. Mother will discuss this with Yu Shui later and see what to do with the money."

Wu Juan agreed when she heard this. There was no one at home during the day, and it would be terrible if the house was robbed.

So now we can only wait for the rain to feed the baby.
