Siheyuan Shangpeng

"By the way, have you decided where to go? Do you want me to help you find a place?" Shang Peng said to He Yuzhu.

"Haha... no need. Just let her stay with me. She can help wash the vegetables and learn cooking techniques from me. Then she will cook when she gets home. You don't know, chefs really don't like to cook when they get home." He Yuzhu replied.

"Uh! Okay, whatever you think is good, I also want my sister-in-law to go to the logistics warehouse? It's less work and easier. Since you want her to be with you, then go ahead.

"Okay, it's done, you can go now, don't disturb me, I'm very tired. You said you can just go and tell Uncle Li about it, but you had to ask me to come. It's really, oh! I don't know what to say about you. You said you can make Uncle Li think you have asked him for help, so he can be more assured when he uses you in the future. But you don't ask him for anything, so he thinks you have something against him. Think about these things yourself when you go back. This is how you promote your relationship with your leader." Shang Peng said indifferently.

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said to Shang Peng: "Then I'll go find Director Li?"

Shang Peng slapped his head. He was really defeated by He Yuzhu. He said to He Yuzhu, "Brother Zhuzi, I really don't know what to say to you. You got the note from me. Where do you think I got the note from? It can't be mine, right? I will prepare the ingredients for you at noon tomorrow. You can cook and treat Uncle Li to a meal. Just mention this matter during the meal."

He Yuzhu agreed with a smile. At this time, Shang Qi came to the courtyard. He Yuzhu looked up and saw Shang Qi and asked in surprise: "Brother Qi, why are you here?"

Ever since Shang Qi had his own small courtyard, his father and mother seldom came to this courtyard after supporting its construction, so He Yuzhu was very surprised.

Shang Peng looked up at Shang Qi and asked, "Is she here?"

Shang Qi nodded. Shang Peng sighed, stood up and said to Shang Qi: "Let's go. The sooner we solve it, the sooner we can feel at ease." After that, he walked outside with Shang Qi.

He Yuzhu shouted from behind: "Are you two brothers talking nonsense? Do you dare to tell me?"

Shang Peng waved his hand without even turning his head and said, "Brother Zhuzi, go back. This has nothing to do with you. I'll be back soon."

He Yuzhu scratched his head and muttered, "Okay, I'm just a cook anyway, it's better for me to know less about things I shouldn't know." Then he staggered towards his home, walked a few steps and came back to carry Shang Peng's rocking chair away, saying as he walked, "Hehe... this thing is good, I'll put it outside my house to bask in the sun! Hehe..."

Shang Peng doesn’t know that his rocking chair has been taken away by He Yuzhu. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. I can get this thing out anytime.

Shang Peng followed Shang Qi to the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he found a young woman standing under a big tree. It was Qiu Ying.

Qiu Ying heard the voice and found that it was Shang Qi who brought Shang Peng back. With a smile in her eyes, she said to Shang Peng: "You are finally willing to see me? Why don't you hide from me anymore?"

Shang Peng frowned, not expecting Qiu Ying to have such an idea, and said directly: "I'm not hiding from you, I just had something happen a few days ago."

Seeing Shang Peng frowned, he knew he had said something wrong, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I just thought you didn't want to see me, I didn't know you had something to do."

Shang Peng waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You have found your relatives. Are you back to ask me for help?"

Qiu Ying felt very aggrieved when she saw Shang Peng's attitude of keeping people at a distance. Tears welled up in her eyes and she stared at Shang Peng blankly, not knowing what to say.

Shang Qi then said, "Well, why don't you two go into the house and talk?"

Shang Peng said directly: "No need, just make it clear here."

Then he turned his head and looked at Qiu Ying and said, "I want to know why you came to me. If you want to repay me, there is no need. Anyone would help if they encounter such a thing. It was just a coincidence that day that I saved you. If you are feeling guilty, then just send a thank-you letter to my factory.

If you have other intentions, please tell me so that I can know what's going on. What do you mean by coming to see me all the time? This is because I'm not married yet, and this is my eldest brother's family. Not many people know about it. If other people misunderstand me, I don't care. Do you want to save your reputation?

So if you have anything to say, please tell me now and don’t come here again.”

After hearing what Shang Peng said, Qiu Ying couldn't hold back her tears and they started to fall. At this time, Wang Nan in the room also heard the conversation between Shang Peng and the others. He came out and saw Qiu Ying crying. He glared at Shang Peng, then walked over, hugged Qiu Ying and comforted her softly.

After Qiuying felt better, she turned to Shang Peng and said, "Xiaopeng, can you, as a grown man, speak a little more gently? Qiuying is a girl, if you don't like her, you should be more tactful. I am really defeated by you. You are exactly like your brother, a blockhead."

Shang Peng heard what Wang Nan said and said to her with a playful smile: "Sister-in-law, this is what a gentleman does. You said I don't like her, so why would I delay her? If I don't make it clear all at once and let her have any misunderstandings, then I'm really a piece of shit, don't you think?"

Wang Nan glared at Shang Peng again, and said, "I can't argue with you, okay? You should handle your own affairs yourself. Didn't my sister-in-law tell you to be gentle to girls even if you don't like them? Aren't you embarrassing Qiu Ying?"

Shang Peng nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I understand.

Comrade Qiu Ying, I apologize to you. I was wrong about this, but I really don't like you. Please forgive me!"

After hearing what Shang Peng said, Qiu Ying broke free from Wang Nan's arms and asked Shang Peng: "If you don't like me, why did you bring me back to your home? If you don't like me, why did you say that I look like someone you know?"

Shang Peng scratched his head and said, "It is precisely because you are very similar to someone I know that I feel I should help you. Besides, I am not taking you back to my home, I am bringing you to my sister-in-law.

Moreover, Comrade Qiu Ying, if I like you because you look like someone I know, it would be unfair to you, to me, and to my friend. I don't want to live in the past forever. You don't want me to treat you as someone else, do you? And my friend doesn't want me to live like that either.

Why would I let this happen when it's bad for all three of us? Do you think I'm right?"
