Siheyuan: I just want to live

After Jin Ling went upstairs, Chen Feng couldn't wait to open the bag that his aunt had brought back. The contents surprised him a little. The first thing that caught his eye was eight packs of Zhonghua cigarettes neatly arranged.

The number of cigarettes puzzled Chen Feng. He thought, "How can there be so many cigarettes?"

Chen Feng guessed, "Maybe it's because of the New Year these two days, and someone came to visit Old Man Li and sent him gifts. Otherwise, according to the level of Old Man Li and Uncle, they should not be allocated so many Zhonghua cigarettes in a month."

Thinking of this, Chen Feng secretly sighed in his heart that the interpersonal relationships during the New Year period were really complicated.

Putting the cigarette aside, Chen Feng continued to search the package. Next, he found a brand new military uniform, including pants, a jacket and a hat.

This military uniform was exactly the same as the one he had seen in movies and TV series, and the color was also the standard military green. Chen Feng looked at the uniform carefully, feeling the military atmosphere it brought.

Chen Feng picked up the green military uniform, took a closer look at it, and put it aside. He finally saw the officer's woolen coat that his aunt had mentioned at the bottom.

Chen Feng picked up the coat excitedly and tried it on himself, but soon frowned - the coat seemed a little too small for him.

With no other options, he could only fold the clothes again and put them back where they were.

Originally, Chen Feng was thinking that if the coat fit him well, he would not give it to Jin Ming, but keep it for himself. After all, this was a military officer's coat, who wouldn't want to have one?

But now it seems that this idea can only fall through. Thinking of this, Chen Feng couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

However, after some thought, Chen Feng decided to give up this idea.

He thought it would be better to leave it to Jin Ming, and he would have a chance to find a suitable one in the future. So he stopped dwelling on it and packed all the clothes again.

Then, Chen Feng walked into Jin Ming's room with the bundle and placed it at the head of Jin Ming's bed. After completing these actions, he walked out of the room silently.

After returning to the main room again, Chen Feng looked at the clock hanging on the wall. The hour and minute hands both pointed to a little after four o'clock. It was still early and there was still some time before dinner.

After thinking for a while, Chen Feng decided to leave the house and go to the yard to get some fresh air. He walked to the door and glanced at Xu Damao's house inadvertently.

The door of his house was closed and locked. Chen Feng couldn't help but wonder: "Did he go to his father-in-law's house?"

However, what always puzzled Chen Feng was what Xu Damao was thinking?

He has a wife who comes from a wealthy family and is pretty, but he is still not satisfied and always thinks about having affairs outside.

If Xu Damao could treat Lou Xiaoe well, wouldn't it be good for her to just stay at home and eat his gigolo?

In this way, not only do you not need to struggle, but you can also enjoy endless wealth. In the past life, I don’t know how many people dreamed of this kind of beauty but could not get it.

Besides, Lou Xiao'e is not a cunning and arrogant person. Although she has a little temper, she is still tolerable. And it is probably difficult to find a second daughter-in-law as rich as this in this era.

Forget it, Chen Feng shook his head and stopped thinking about this question. If he hadn't gotten married too early, he might have really taken action to snatch Lou Xiao'e away as his wife.

Chen Feng looked at the deserted Houyuan and couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on? It should be very lively at this time of day!"

He shook his head in confusion and walked towards the middle courtyard.

When he arrived at the middle courtyard, Chen Feng was surprised to find that it was also deserted and there was no one around.

He frowned and thought, "This is really weird, where did all these people go?"

Could it be that everyone was gossiping at the gate of the courtyard? Thinking of this, Chen Feng quickly walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

When Chen Feng walked to the aisle at the entrance of the courtyard, he did not see the lively scene as he had expected.

On the contrary, Qin Huairu was the only one standing alone outside the gate, looking around as if looking for something.

Chen Feng felt very strange and thought: "The steel mill is closed today, what is Qin Huairu waiting for at the door? Did someone ask Sha Zhu to prepare a feast again today? Is she waiting for Sha Zhu to bring her some food?"

A series of question marks came to Chen Feng's mind, leaving him confused.

When Chen Feng was wondering, Sha Zhu hurriedly ran to Qin Huairu from a distance and asked, "Sister Qin, how is it? Is the person back?"

Qin Huairu frowned when she heard what Sha Zhu said and said, "No, I've been waiting here, but I didn't see her come back!"

Chen Feng listened to their conversation in the corridor and felt a little strange. Who didn't come back? Could it be that Banggeng, the ungrateful guy, got lost?

If Banggeng really got lost, it would be a good thing for the entire courtyard. Chen Feng would have to worry less about things getting lost at home in the future.

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's sad face and quickly comforted her, "Sister Qin! Don't worry! In my opinion, your sister might have lost her way when she went to the toilet!"

"And then! She's stuck in these alleys and can't get out. I'll look for her again. We'll definitely find her!"

Qin Huairu listened to Sha Zhu's words of comfort, but still frowned and said, "How can I not be worried? I asked her to come to the city for a blind date, but in the end, the blind date didn't work out, and she got lost!"

"Silly Zhu, tell me, how am I going to explain this to my relatives in the village when I return?"

After hearing this, Chen Feng realized that it was Qin Jingru who was missing, not Bang Geng!

Oh! I was so happy for nothing. I thought the old man had opened his eyes and that the troublemaker Banggeng was gone.

But Chen Feng still wanted to remember that Qin Jingru went out to the bathroom when she was on a blind date with Sha Zhu, and was then tricked away by Xu Damao, right?

Chen Feng looked at the time and estimated that at this time, Xu Damao should be taking Qin Jingru to Wangfujing to buy clothes, right?

I remember that when it was time for dinner, Qin Jingru was wearing a fashionable red wool coat and eating mutton hotpot with Xu Damao.

During the meal, Xu Damao confessed his love to Qin Jingru. Qin Jingru knew that Xu Damao was married, but she did not refuse him. This makes people think a lot.

When Sha Zhu heard what Qin Huairu said, he immediately patted his chest and promised, "Sister Qin! Don't worry! I will continue to look for her! Even if I turn the entire city upside down today, I will find Qin Jingru for you!"

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Oh! I hope you can find him as soon as possible! This way I can give an explanation to my relatives in the village!"

"Sister Qin, please continue to wait here! I'll go find someone now!"

Having said that, Sha Zhu started running out of the alley again.

Qin Huairu looked at Dashazhu running away and sighed heavily again.

Maybe Qin Huairu's legs had been standing for too long and were starting to feel sore, so she turned around and wanted to sit on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard to wait for Sha Zhu.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Feng standing in the aisle at the entrance of the courtyard.

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up, and she quickly took two steps towards Chen Feng, came to Chen Feng's side, and then spoke.

"Chen Feng, have you seen my cousin? My cousin is lost, do you know where she is?"

Chen Feng looked at the anxious Qin Huairu and thought: I definitely know something, but why should I tell her?

There's nothing delicious to eat, and it would offend Xu Damao for no reason. Chen Feng must have nothing better to do than to meddle in their affairs!

So Chen Feng said casually, "No, I haven't seen her. My family just came back from visiting relatives. How could we have seen your cousin?"

When Qin Huairu heard Chen Feng's words, she lowered her head and her eyes darkened, but in a moment she raised her head again and looked at Chen Feng with expectant eyes.

He also said, "Chen Feng, my cousin is missing! She rarely comes to the city and got lost accidentally. Chen Feng, can you help me find her?"

Although Qin Huairu sounded pitiful when she spoke, she had a lot of plans in her mind.

If Chen Feng could really help find it, then no matter whether the person was found or not, Qin Huairu could get closer to Chen Feng in the name of gratitude.

If I get closer to Chen Feng, and use my own means, then in the future, won't I get my share of the fish, meat, chicken, and other things in Chen Feng's house?

If I could finally get Jin Ling out and let Chen Feng marry me, my future life would be even more perfect!

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Chen Feng refused without hesitation, "No, I'm tired today and don't want to help you find someone!"

"Besides, if we wait any longer, it will be dark! My wife Jin Ling and our two children will be hungry. I can't leave my own children alone to help you look for someone!"

Help Qin Huairu find someone? What a joke! What if Chen Feng took her to find Xu Damao and Qin Jingru, and what if Qin Huairu saw Xu Damao hugging Qin Jingru again.

With Qin Huairu's personality, why not just skin Xu Damao alive? And then blackmail him?

And if that villain Xu Damao saw that it was me who brought Qin Huairu to find him, would my family still be able to live in peace?

No matter how Chen Feng calculates, he won't get any benefits. Only a fool would dare to do such a thankless task!

After hearing what Chen Feng said, Qin Huairu said anxiously: "Chen Feng, but..."

Before Qin Huairu could finish her words, Chen Feng interrupted her and said, "Okay! No buts! I have something else to do. You just wait here!"

After saying that, Chen Feng walked towards the courtyard without looking back, still muttering, "It's really unlucky. Not only did I not get to listen to the gossip, but I also offended Qin Huairu, this annoying person."

Qin Huairu looked at Chen Feng's departing back, feeling very upset. She originally thought that Chen Feng would help her find someone, but she didn't expect him to be so cold and heartless.

Qin Huairu sighed, then slowly sat down on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard, waiting for Sha Zhu, praying that Sha Zhu would find Qin Jingru!
