Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Xu Yun was stunned and her perception of her husband was refreshed. Even if dozens of Korean ginseng were of average quality, they could still be worth a lot of money. Cheng Hao was simply extremely rich.

However, Cheng Hao's next words made Xu Yun fall into deeper shock.

"If you think ginseng is too greasy, I still have some Ganoderma lucidum and deer antlers...

We can rotate them so we don’t get tired of them.”

Xu Yun blinked and was stunned for a long time before she recovered. She sighed faintly, "Cheng Hao, how much have you hidden from me? Are you planning to open a medicine store or something?"

I originally thought that Cheng Hao only had some private money saved, but I didn't expect that he still had so many treasures that he hadn't taken out.

Cheng Hao waved his hand and said with an apologetic smile: "It's not much. It's not that you want to replenish your body, so I took it all out."

Hearing this, Xu Yun's nose felt sore and she asked softly, "You don't usually do these?"

“Nothing happened.

I am in good health and don’t need to eat these things.”

Supplements like ginseng and deer antlers are very nutritious, but they don’t taste very good, so Cheng Hao doesn’t like them.

"Really, why are you so nice to me?"

Xu Yun turned her head away, sniffed, and started to have a bad temper.

If Cheng Hao does this, she will be under a lot of pressure.

"You are my wife, so of course I should treat you well.

We are a family.”

Cheng Hao took a chicken leg and put it in Xu Yun's bowl, smiling faintly, "Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it gets cold."

"Ah."

Xu Yun nodded and silently gnawed the chicken leg in the bowl. When she lowered her head, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

The couple didn't say anything else and quietly finished the food on the table.

After lunch, Xu Yun insisted on being responsible for cleaning up the dishes. Cheng Hao did not refuse and helped clean the kitchen.

After packing up his things, Cheng Hao went out to the street again, preparing to get a chicken coop to hold those lively and fat chickens.

……

The weather was clear at noon and the streets were still deserted.

He Yuzhu was carrying a sturdy chicken and walking briskly through the streets and alleys. Soon he returned to the gate of the courtyard.

Cheng Hao was very loyal. The chicken he gave to He Yuzhu was the one from the ruthless character who had caused He Yuzhu to fail many times at Old Man Liu's house.

Now this heroic chicken has fallen into He Yuzhu's hands. In a short while, it will reach the peak of its life and then be served on the dining table, thus completing its mission.

"Hey, silly, you're back."

As soon as He Yuzhu entered the yard, Yan Bugui came over after hearing the noise.

Ever since he took the position of the manager, he finally had the capital to compete with Liu Haizhong.

Whenever there was any movement in the front yard, he would come over to take a look.

"Where did you get this chicken?"

When Yan Bugui saw the fat chicken that He Yuzhu was carrying, his eyes lit up.

In winter, material consumption increases sharply. The Yan family is not rich and has not eaten meat for a month. They are craving for meat.

"A gift from someone else."

He Yuzhu lifted the chicken and said proudly, "This is a chicken raised in Chenjiazhuang outside the city. It tastes great when stewed or stir-fried."

"Silly Zhu, why haven't you reminisced about the past since you came back to the hospital?

I happen to have a bottle of good wine at home, how about we have a few drinks tonight?"

Yan Bugui stared at the chicken for a long time and refused to look away.

This fat chicken is so tempting.

"You should keep that good wine, which has been diluted with who knows how much water, for yourself.

I have to go back and cook, so I'll leave first."

He Yuzhu smiled faintly and walked straight past the stunned Yan Bugui into the courtyard.

He Yuzhu knew very well what kind of person Yan Bugui was. He just wanted to play a trick on him. It would be better to forget about having dinner together.

Given how stingy Yan Bugui is, I'm afraid the guests who come to his house won't even have enough to eat.

Yan Bugui's face changed instantly when he reacted. He cursed in a low voice as he watched He Yuzhu leave in a leisurely manner.

"Damn stupid pillar!"

When he returned home, He Yuzhu was about to kill a chicken and cook, but he didn't expect that Qin Huairu had already prepared the meal and was waiting at home for a long time.

Looking at the food on the table, He Yuzhu had no choice but to keep the fried chicken outside alive for the time being and kill it and enjoy it in the evening.

When He Yushui heard that his brother had brought back a chicken, he hurriedly ate half a steamed bun and ran outside to check.

"Yu Shui, don't get too close. This chicken is very fierce. Don't get pecked."

He Yuzhu swallowed a mouthful of steamed bun and shouted to his sister who ran away.

"This child..."

Qin Huairu couldn't help shaking her head as she watched He Yushui run away.

Normally, He Yushui eats much more than half a steamed bun.

I ate so little at noon today to save space for the chicken in the evening.

He Yuzhu and his wife knew what the little girl was thinking, but they didn't care too much.

When they were young, whenever there was something delicious, they would do the same, wishing they could eat until they became fat.

After lunch, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, who had been busy all morning, closed the door and went back to bed to have an in-depth discussion.

The fact that Cheng Hao had a child was a big shock to He Yuzhu, so he decided to work hard to achieve his goal as soon as possible.

Outside the house, He Yushui looked at the fried chicken for a while, then felt shy when she heard the faint sound coming from her eldest brother's room. She quickly ran back to her room and buried her head in the quilt.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. The sun sets quickly in the afternoon and night falls across the sky.

After lying in the room for an afternoon, He Yuzhu regained his energy and walked out of the door. He stretched and felt refreshed.

Just as he was about to kill a chicken to cook, he turned around and saw that the chicken tied to the wall was gone.

He Yuzhu's face changed drastically. He turned around and looked around, and found that there was no trace of the chicken in the yard. He was so angry that he roared to the sky.

"Who stole my chicken?"

He Yuzhu had tied the ropes tightly, and no matter how ferocious a chicken was, it would be impossible to untie it. It could only be the work of a bad guy.

Angry voices echoed in the middle courtyard. Yi Zhonghai, who heard the noise, came out and asked, "Zhu Zi, what happened?"

"Uncle, my chickens were stolen.

I brought a chicken home this afternoon and tied it outside the house, but when I woke up, the chicken was gone."

He Yuzhu slept soundly in the afternoon and did not hear any noise outside. However, with so many neighbors in the yard, the chicken thief could not leave quietly and would definitely leave clues.

Therefore, it is necessary for the manager Yi Zhonghai to come forward and help find the lost chicken.

"Zhu Zi, don't worry, maybe the chicken ran away on its own."

A thief breaking into the yard is a big deal, and Yi Zhonghai doesn't want things to develop in a bad direction.

"Impossible, I tied it so securely, the chicken couldn't possibly break free.

And, look at this, the cut on the broken rope is so neat, it can’t be made by a chicken.”

He Yuzhu picked up the rope used to tie the chicken on the ground and said coldly.

If a chicken could really do this, it would be truly a spirit.

But unfortunately, this is absolutely impossible.

Because, after the founding of the country, no spirits are allowed!

"Uh~"

Faced with irrefutable evidence, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to admit it.

“Don’t worry, I’ll gather the neighbors and ask them.

With so many people watching in our yard, a chicken thief will definitely not be able to escape."
