Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

Although this person is mentioned in the plot, his name is not mentioned.

"So he's Director Yang's son. His family is quite well-off, and Su Yubing would be a good daughter-in-law."

Yang Lei said with a smile, saying both the true and the false.

"I will never marry Yang Shuguang, even if I die!"

Su Yubing's attitude was very firm.

"Yang Lei, this Yang Shuguang is so annoying. I don't even want to see him, and you still want Yu Bing to marry him?"

Ding Qiunan started to blame Yang Lei.

"What can I do? She's being pursued by others."

Yang Lei spread his hands, actually he was teasing Su Yubing and Ding Qiunan.

"Yang Lei, just help Yu Bing."

It's rare for Ding Qiunan to act like a spoiled brat in front of outsiders.

"How can I help? Do you want me to pretend to be her boyfriend?"

Yang Lei's words inspired Ding Qiunan, and her eyes lit up.

"good idea."

"Yubing, go to the office next door and wait for me. I want to talk to Yang Lei." Ding Qiunan sent Su Yubing to find Yu Li across the street, and closed the door on his own initiative.

"Yang Lei, I think your idea is great. If you let Yang Shuguang know that Yu Bing has a partner, he'll stop pestering her."

Ding Qiunan shook Yang Lei's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Hey, you're really willing to sacrifice even your husband just to help Yu Bing?"

Yang Lei picked her up without saying a word.

With a little effort, Yang Lei pushed Ding Qiunan onto the desk, and her long legs naturally wrapped around his waist.

"Yang Lei, I know you won't change your mind, and this time you're doing this to help Yu Bing.

You don’t know how annoying Yang Shuguang is, hey, you’re annoying too…”

Yang Lei touched Ding Qiunan like an octopus, making her feel weak and limp all over.

……

Soon, Ding Qiunan's eyes became blurred. This was not the first time this had happened.

Chapter 179 Pointing at Qin Huairu's nose and calling her an outsider

From being awkward at the beginning to being proficient now, Yang Lei has put in a lot of thought and effort.

An hour later, Ding Qiunan slipped out of the office with a red face. At this time, Su Yubing was in Yu Li's office, shivering because of the cold.

"Qiu Nan, why did you two talk for so long? Why is there so much dust on your coat?" Su Yubing asked while carefully helping Ding Qiu Nan pat the dust off her clothes.

"Oh, Yang Lei's office hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and I didn't notice it just now and it rubbed against my coat." Ding Qiunan explained.

"Then let's help him clean up together." Su Yubing said casually.

“No need, Yubing.

Yang Lei has already agreed to help you. He said he can pretend to be your boyfriend and make Yang Shuguang give up completely." Ding Qiunan said to Su Yubing with a blushing face.

"Really? That's great! But Yang Shuguang has a lot of friends, and I'm worried that Yang Lei will suffer." Su Yubing still seemed a little worried.

"Don't worry, he has friends, and we have friends too.

Qiu Nan, where are you planning to stay tonight?"

"Me?" Ding Qiunan looked confused. She originally thought she would live with Yang Lei.

"Yang Lei, it's too late tonight. Yu Bing and I will stay in your office for one night." Ding Qiunan said innocently.

Haha, Ding Qiunan, even though we are so familiar with each other, he is still pretending.

"Why sleep in the office? I have a house with a private entrance and yard in the alley in front. Let's stay there tonight." Yang Lei said.

Yang Lei has such courtyards in several places, but none of these properties are under his name. In this era, there is no concept of private property. They are all public property.

Even if he could get private property, Yang Lei would not put it in his own name. In this era, getting private property will sooner or later cause trouble.

Yang Lei's domineering attitude made Su Yubing's eyes sparkle with admiration.

She kept reminding herself that Yang Lei was the boyfriend of her best friend Ding Qiunan, and she must not have any inappropriate thoughts.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when the three of them came out of the office.

Yang Lei, Ding Qiunan and Su Yubing soon arrived at a small alley only three blocks away from the Red Star Steel Mill.

Yang Lei pushed open the gate of the yard and invited Ding Qiunan and Su Yubing to go in first.

Although this courtyard is not big, it is well organized and very tidy.

The courtyard is divided into two side courtyards, east and west, and a main house.

At night, Ding Qiunan and Su Yubing lived in the east wing, while Yang Lei slept in the main room.

Before going to bed, Yang Lei winked at Ding Qiunan, the meaning of which was self-evident.

It was such a long night, and his wife Ding Qiunan was right next to him. How could Yang Lei sleep alone?

Ding Qiunan pretended not to understand, but in the middle of the night, she still sneaked into Yang Lei's room.

She knew that if she didn't take the initiative to go over, Yang Lei would definitely sneak into the east wing and carry her to the main house to sleep.

Ding Qiunan was afraid of being discovered by Su Yubing, so she obeyed obediently and took the initiative to get into Yang Lei's bed to accompany him.

Late at night, the courtyards of Nanluoguxiang were so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly.

Qin Huairu got up from the kang in the middle of the night, thinking that the Chinese New Year was just a few days away, and she still had no definite news about Yang Lei's arrangements.

Qin Huairu felt that she had spent this year feeling really unsettled...

Jia Zhang told Qin Huairu that she wanted to invite her nephew from her mother's side to celebrate the New Year.

This nephew is her cousin's son, who is in his thirties.

This boy is greedy and lazy. Qin Huairu saw him once when she married into the Jia family.

At that time, Qin Huairu noticed that Jia Dongxu's cousin Zhang Maosheng, who looked like a bamboo pole, looked at her as if he wanted to eat her alive.

When Qin Huairu heard her mother-in-law Jia Zhang say that she wanted Zhang Maosheng to come and celebrate the New Year, she was extremely unhappy.

But Jia Zhang said that Zhang Maosheng could bring some eggs and grain raised by his own family, otherwise how would the Jia family survive this year.

Qin Huairu was also thinking about asking Yang Lei to help deliver some New Year's goods so that she could get rid of Zhang Maosheng and prevent him from causing trouble.

In the middle of the night, Qin Huairu waited until her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, fell asleep, then quietly got up from the kang.

"Huairu!"

Qin Huairu just walked into the yard, saw that there was no one around, and was about to go to the backyard to look for Yang Lei.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, calling her softly.

This shout scared her out of her wits!

"Who? Who's calling me?!"

Qin Huairu was startled. She had originally planned to sneak to Yang Lei's house, but as soon as she went out, she heard someone calling her.

Qin Huairu felt nervous when she heard someone calling her name.

No matter who called her, she felt uneasy.

That day, a voice said, "Huai Ru, it's me."

Yi Zhonghai emerged from the corner of the wall.

"Uncle? Why you?"

Qin Huairu felt unhappy when she saw that it was Yi Zhonghai.

The last time he asked her to meet him in the public toilet in the front yard, he was almost bumped into by Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong.

At that time, she told him clearly not to look for her again, but he came again a few days later, and of course she was not happy.

"Huai Ru, I have something to tell you..."

Yi Zhonghai is not giving up yet. He just wants Qin Huairu to help him get close to Yang Lei.

He no longer cared about anything and felt that he would not be able to survive unless he brought Yang Lei down.

He hated Yang Lei so much that his teeth were itching.

"Uncle, please stop talking.

I told you that day that I would not agree to anything you asked for."

Qin Huairu rejected him directly and didn't even give him a chance to speak.

"Huai Ru, I'm doing this for your own good...Huai Ru, don't go!"

The more Yi Zhonghai said this, the more Qin Huairu ignored him.

He was about to explain his plan in detail when Qin Huairu pushed the door open and walked in.

Yi Zhonghai sighed. He didn't expect Qin Huairu didn't even give him a chance to listen to him.

"Forget it, I'll go see my sister-in-law when I have time."

He felt the money in his pocket and planned to give Jia Zhang five dollars and ask her to persuade Qin Huairu to agree to this.

In the past few days, Yi Zhonghai has been hanging around Nanluoguxiang and knows everything about Jia Zhang's daily life.

He was afraid of being discovered, so he turned around and left the courtyard.

Looking at this familiar yard, he thought about how he used to be the backbone of this place, but now he has become a rat crossing the street, and everyone is shouting and beating him.

All this anger and resentment are because of Yang Lei!

"Yang Lei, you little bastard, if I don't take you down, I'm not Yi Zhonghai!"

Yi Zhonghai's face was extremely gloomy. As to whether his last name was really Yi, no one could tell for sure.

His real name is Inukai Nakami. He is a native Japanese and was sent to China as a technician in his early years.

This guy is very good at pretending. After Japan's defeat in the war, he transformed himself into a technical expert at Lou's Steel Plant. He also changed his surname from Inugami to Yi. The word "Yi" sounds like the meaning of changing one's face, which clearly tells people that this surname is fake.

After joining Lou's Steel Plant, Yi Zhonghai quickly became a technical expert in the factory with his real abilities.

After liberation, Lou Zhenhua donated the factory to the country, and the Lou Steel Plant became the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant.

When he was in Japan, Inukai Nakamie received a good education. He was also good at pretending, acting like a gentleman all day long and talking about morality from time to time. Therefore, he was very appreciated by the director Yang Changsheng at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Not long after, Yi Zhonghai passed the assessment for seventh-level fitter.

If that incident hadn't happened, he would have passed the eighth-level fitter exam after the new year!

But all this was messed up by Yang Lei.

Now Yi Zhonghai has suddenly turned from a respected senior worker into a hunted thief.

Qin Huairu didn't sleep well that night after returning home.

She originally wanted to go find Yang Lei, but was intercepted by Yi Zhonghai halfway and had to hide at home.

She knew that Yi Zhonghai was a mysterious person. If she found out that he went to the backyard to look for Yang Lei in the middle of the night, she would definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.

What she was more afraid of was that Yi Zhonghai would tell her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang is not an easy person to deal with.

After much thought, Qin Huairu decided that it would be better to stay at home and not go out.

In the morning, Qin Huairu was getting ready to go to work when her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, called her.

"Huai Ru, remember to buy half a pound of meat when you come back today. Your cousin Mao Sheng is coming."

"Mom, this month's meat coupons have been used up a long time ago. Where can I buy meat?"

The Jia family’s meat coupons were gone at the beginning of each month, so Qin Huairu couldn’t buy any more even if she wanted to.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the price of meat in the market has also increased.
