Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

After a while, He Yuzhu took Li Qin and Mengmeng to the backyard under the attention of all the neighbors in the yard.

As soon as I walked to the backyard, I met Xu Damao and his wife who were going out for a walk after dinner.

"Brother Zhuzi, have you eaten yet? Who is this...?"

Qin Jingru looked up and saw He Yuzhu leading a beautiful woman to the backyard, but after seeing clearly, Qin Jingru was also shocked.

When Qin Huairu was trying to sow discord between Li Qin and Li Qin, Qin Jingru also knew about it.

Now when she saw Li Qin following He Yuzhu to the courtyard again, she was also shocked.

She was really afraid that He Yuzhu would hate her if he knew the truth, so she stared at Li Qin in horror.

Li Qin just glanced at Qin Jingru, as if she didn't recognize her, and then stared at Xu Damao next to her.

It was also the first time that Xu Damao met Li Qin, and he was deeply attracted to this beautiful woman at first sight.

"She is a little thinner and has a pale face, probably due to malnutrition, but if she takes good care of herself, she might become a top beauty, which is great!"

Xu Damao looked Li Qin up and down, and in his heart he was asking for leave from Li Qin.

When Li Qin saw Xu Damao's lustful look, she knew that this guy was not a good person.

"Silly Zhu, who is this...?"

Xu Damao said to He Yuzhu in a low voice, but when he saw He Yuzhu raising his hand, he was so scared that he immediately changed his words.

"No, Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu... who is this... your relative?"

Xu Damao grabbed He Yuzhu and was about to slap him, and asked with a smirk on his face.

He Yuzhu ignored him and just spoke to Li Qin.

"This guy is called Shamao, a bitch. If you see him next time, stay away from him. If he dares to harass you, tell me and I will take care of him."

"That one is called Qin Jingru, Sha Mao's wife. Come on, I'll take you to the deaf old lady."

After a brief introduction, He Yuzhu took Li Qin and the child to the deaf old lady's home.

When passing by the second uncle's house, Liu Haizhong poked his head out and asked.

"Zhu Zi, who is this person? We are a civilized courtyard. Don't bring some inexplicable strangers back to the courtyard. What if someone gets lost..."

Before Liu Haizhong finished speaking, He Yuzhu called Liu Haizhong and said to Li Qin.

"This man is Liu Haizhong, the second uncle of the courtyard. He doesn't have any special abilities, but he is now the leader of the patrol team."

After saying that, he took Li Qin and continued to walk inside, not giving Liu Haizhong any chance to continue speaking.

Looking at the three people who walked into the deaf old lady's house, Liu Haizhong could do nothing but stamp his feet in anger.

Because he couldn't afford to offend the deaf old lady.

"Silly Zhu, just wait for me. If I don't kill you, I'm not your second uncle."

Xu Damao, who was at the backyard entrance, came over at this time.

"Second uncle, this idiot Zhu obviously doesn't give you face. Who are you? You are the leader of the patrol team of our steel mill. How can you let him run rampant?"

"You're just a stinky cook, why are you showing off?"

Xu Damao fanned the flames and pointed at He Yuzhu.

Liu Haizhong was also furious after hearing what Xu Damao said, but at this time, He Yuzhu and others had already gone to the deaf old lady's house.

Liu Haizhong could only stand at the door of his house, yell a few words at the sky, then waved his hands and went back to his home to drink alone.

"Da Mao, why do you always pick on Zhuzi? He didn't provoke you!"

Qin Jingru couldn't stand Xu Damao and always made trouble for He Yuzhu. After all, He Yuzhu was the father of her unborn child.

"What do you know? This is called the desire to win between men. You can say I'm cheap, but you can't say I'm rotten."

"Remember what that comrade said!"

"Fighting against the sky is fun!"

"Fighting the ground is fun!"

"Now, both Shazhu and I are also..."

Before Xu Damao could finish his words, Qin Jingru on the side retorted to him.

"If you fight with Brother Zhuzi, just wait to be beaten. I don't want to bother with you!"

After Qin Jingru finished speaking, she just waved her hand and left the backyard.

Xu Damao was speechless after being confronted by Qin Jingru.

Every time he went against Sha Zhu, he would be pinned to the ground and beaten by Sha Zhu. Now that Qin Jingru was talking about him, he didn't dare to talk back.

“Jingru! Jingru! Wait for me…!”

As Xu Damao spoke, he ran towards the central courtyard. He wanted to catch up with his wife, otherwise he would have to sleep alone again at night.

Deaf old lady's house.

The deaf old lady looked at Li Qin in front of her happily.

Although she had never met Li Qin, she knew that she had once been Zhuzi's girlfriend.

The reason she laughed was because she finally chose to give up Zhuzi, which allowed Zhuzi to marry Ran Qiuye.

Now they have a son and a daughter, and they are a loving couple.

She also knew that Ran Qiuye was sent to her mother's home by He Yuzhu, but she had never told anyone about it.

She is a deaf old lady, but she is the smartest old lady in this courtyard.

"This girl is so pretty, what's her name?"

The deaf old lady asked Li Qin cheerfully and waved to Meng Meng who was standing beside her.

Mengmeng thought the deaf old lady was very kind. She was naturally cheerful and not shy at all. She glanced at her mother.

Li Qin nodded at her, and Mengmeng ran over happily and threw herself into the arms of the deaf old lady.

"Madam, my name is Li Qin. I'm Zhuzi's friend. I've also moved into the courtyard now."

Li Qin said carefully to the deaf old lady.

"This old lady is at least 80 if not 90. She's really afraid that the noise will be too loud and scare her to death."

Seeing the frail deaf old lady, Li Qin didn't dare to speak loudly.

"Okay, we'll live together from now on. Where are we going to live now?"

The deaf old lady knew why He Yuzhu brought her and her daughter here, which was simply to take care of her.

The same thing happened to Qin Jingru before.

"Madam, they are temporarily living in the middle courtyard, which is where Yi Zhonghai used to live!"

He Yuzhu spoke.

"Yi Zhonghai's room?"

The deaf old woman muttered to herself, then shook her head.

"That old man Yi Zhonghai is not a good person. It's not safe for them to live there. In case someone wants to kill the cat."

The deaf old lady did not agree to let Li Qin and her son live in the central courtyard, and next door to Yi Zhonghai.

"Then where to live? In the courtyard. This is the only room that's vacant."

He Yuzhu had no choice. Even if he wanted to buy a house, there was none for sale.

"Just move in with me. I have an empty house there. It will be safer if you live with me."

The deaf old lady said slowly.

He Yuzhu was originally worried that the old lady didn't like Li Qin and her daughter, but the old lady ended up letting them live with her.

"Okay, that's best. Living with the old lady is the best."

He Yuzhu was naturally happy. This arrangement was the best at the moment.

The deaf old lady asked Li Qin and her son to move in with her, still to keep an eye on them.

This Li Qin is He Yuzhu’s ex-girlfriend. Now Ran Qiuye is not here, so both of them are in the Intermediate Courtyard.

We are a single man and a single woman, what if...

Who can guarantee that such a thing will not happen?

Li Qin also felt that it would be better to live with the old lady in the backyard, so she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, old lady. I'll move in with you so that I can take care of you. I'll go get my things right away and move in tonight."

Li Qin was about to go out to get something, but was stopped by He Yuzhu.

"Forget it, I'll go get it. You get familiar with the environment here first."

After saying that, He Yuzhu walked out of the deaf old lady's house and headed towards the central courtyard.

Seeing He Yuzhu leaving, the deaf old lady asked Li Qin to sit down.

"Li Qin, sit down first. Let Zhuzi get the things. You can talk to grandma."

Li Qin nodded and sat next to the deaf old lady.

"Li Qin, I know you and Zhuzi were dating before, although I don't know why it didn't work out in the end."

"But Zhuzi hasn't divorced yet. Although his wife and children are not at home, I still want to talk to you."

Li Qin is such a smart person, how could she not know what the deaf old lady wanted to say.

However, in order to prevent her from misunderstanding, Li Qin spoke first.

"Don't get me wrong, old lady. I am innocent with Zhuzi now, and Teacher Ran also knows that I came to Siheyuan!"

“Oh, you know Ran Qiuye?”

The deaf old lady didn't expect that Ran Qiuye actually knew that Li Qin was going to live in the courtyard.

Seeing the deaf old lady's face full of doubt, Li Qin briefly told her what happened today.

"So that's how it is. But this is something Qiu Ye would do. She is such a kind-hearted person, just like a bodhisattva."

The deaf old lady is quite satisfied with her grandson's daughter-in-law, Ran Qiuye.

He Yuzhu then took the things back to the deaf old lady's house.

"Here are the sheets and bedding. Go clean up the room first. I'll make dinner. We don't have enough time today. Let's eat dumplings with cabbage and pork filling."

Soon, He Yuzhu had kneaded the dough, stewed the meat, cut the cabbage and mixed the stuffing.

All that’s left is to make dumplings.

Li Qin walked into the kitchen at this time.

"Let me help too!"

When He Yuzhu saw Li Qin come in, he immediately took the bowl of noodles and the stuffing and spoke.

"Okay, let's take it to the main room and pack it. I'll go get the radio."

He Yuzhu didn't plan to be alone with Li Qin. He was afraid that rumors would spread and Ran Qiuye would misunderstand him.

The three adults and one child were in the main room of the deaf old lady, listening to the radio, talking and laughing while making dumplings.

That night, Li Qin and her daughter stayed at the deaf old lady's house, and He Yuzhu also took out 30 kilograms of flour, 20 kilograms of rice, and 50 kilograms of corn flour and left them at the deaf old lady's house.

As for vegetables, meat, etc., He Yuzhu asked Li Qin to go to his house every morning to get them, and there were fresh ones every day.

It's summer now, the meat will go bad if left at home.

Before going to bed, Li Qin boiled a pot of hot water. Although it was summer, she still soaked the deaf old lady's feet.

This moved the deaf old lady deeply.

"Li Qin, you should also take a rest. You've been tired all night."

Li Qin said with a smile while massaging the deaf old lady's feet.

"It's okay. I'm not tired. This is much easier than pulling a cart to unload goods."

indeed.

Taking care of an elderly person is much easier than being outside in the scorching sun.

The deaf old lady also smiled when she heard it.

"You take care of my old lady, but I don't pay you! Don't you think it's a bit unfair?"

The deaf old lady didn't know that He Yuzhu had hired someone to take care of her and had paid him for it.

"It's okay. Zhuzi will pay you. You don't have to worry about it. Just wait and enjoy yourself."

Li Qin also spoke happily to the deaf old lady.

"Mom, Mengmeng is sleepy. Mengmeng wants to sleep."

Mengmeng, who was standing aside, had her eyelids already starting to twitch and she couldn't hold on any longer.

"Go and get the kid to sleep. I can handle this myself."

The deaf old lady rubbed Mengmeng's head and asked Li Qin to take her to bed first.

But Li Qin was obviously worried about the deaf old lady being here alone.

The deaf old lady also saw what Li Qin was thinking and said with a grin.

"It's okay, go ahead. I've known for so many years that I know how to take care of myself. Go to sleep!"

Li Qin then picked up Mengmeng and went into the house.

Early the next morning, He Yuzhu was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi, are you up? I'm Li Qin. I made breakfast. Come on and eat."

He Yuzhu yawned and replied to the person outside the door.

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

There was no movement outside the door, perhaps Li Qin had already left.

He Yuzhu doesn't have many hobbies, just these two.

Drink tea and sleep in.

Of course, in his previous life, Sha Zhu also had a hobby, which was drinking a little wine.

However, every time the food was brought back, it was intercepted by the white lotus Qin Huairu.

Then Widow Qin pretended to be hypocritical and brought a plate of peanuts that Banggeng had stolen from Shazhu to Shazhu.

But still, Shazhu, that big fool, was deeply moved.

In this life, He Yuzhu rarely drinks alcohol.

In my previous life, I was tortured by illness and was almost dying, which was probably related to my long-term drinking.

He Yuzhu got up, dressed, and took his toiletries. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Widow Qin standing at his door with her hand raised, as if she was about to knock on the door.

"Widow Qin, what are you doing standing at my door so early in the morning?"

He Yuzhu didn't give Widow Qin a good look.

Qin Huairu felt somewhat unhappy when she heard He Yuzhu calling her Widow Qin.

"Zhu Zi, look at what you are shouting. You won't die if you call me Sister Qin. Isn't that what you called me before?"

Qin Huairu acted as if she was charming, and even lifted the hair beside her ear with her fingers.

Seeing the crow's feet at the corners of Qin Huairu's eyes and the occasional white hair in her hair, He Yuzhu almost vomited.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If not, just get out of the way. Master Zhu still needs to brush his teeth."

After saying this, He Yuzhu was about to go out, but Qin Huairu immediately stopped him and said.

"Zhu Zi, look, didn't you give all the flour you bought last night to that Li Qin? We had nothing to eat last night, so we can't skip it this morning. Sister Qin wants to..."

"A dollar!"

Before Qin Huairu could finish speaking, He Yuzhu spoke directly to her.

"One dollar, what one dollar?"

Qin Huairu hadn't yet reacted and figured out what money He Yuzhu wanted.

"I have plenty of food here. For one dollar, I'll sell you some."

He Yuzhu looked at the old woman in front of him with disdain. Although she was only two years older than him, she now looked at least seven or eight years older.

"Zhu Zi, if I had money, I would buy food myself. Why would I need to borrow from you?"

Qin Huairu said confidently that she was so poor, and as her leader, you should help her.

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at her and walked out of the room.

"You want to eat food even though you have no money? Remember, you still owe me ten dollars. Think about how you are going to survive on your salary of more than ten dollars next month!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu went to the sink to wash up without looking back.

Qin Huairu was so angry that she stomped her feet and went straight to Yi Zhonghai's room.

He Yuzhu said to Li Qin while having breakfast at the deaf old lady's house.

"Li Qin, you don't have to cook for me in the future. I don't eat breakfast when I'm alone. You can just cook your own food in the future."

He Yuzhu really didn't want to get up so early. Instead of having breakfast, he might as well sleep a little longer.

The deaf old lady said to He Yuzhu at this time.

"Zhu Zi, I want to take Li Qin as my granddaughter, what do you think?"
