Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Chapter 2260 One-day settlement, no credit allowed

Now the little monkey is cursing his teammates for being heartless.

"Who are these people! They didn't even offer me a glass of water before running off... Ouch!"

Qiangzi and his wife were also scolding him, saying, "Stop bragging! We knew you'd mess this up... What kind of people did you hire?!"

Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. Especially not a makeshift troupe... Besides, he was planning to trick the little monkey anyway.

Baita Lane

Lin Chen had already pulled his exhausted wife, Ding Qiunan, into his arms.

"Go to sleep! Sleep in a little longer tomorrow morning. The others are going back to their seats. After you wake up, go back to Dongcheng District to see your parents. Bring them pork, flour, and sugar. I'll prepare them for you after dawn."

Ding Qiunan did indeed plan to go home tomorrow to visit her brothers, as her older sisters were all returning to the courtyard house for a feast. She hadn't been home for half a month and felt she should go back to see her younger brother.

"Ugh, my hands are so sore... It's exhausting! I need to talk to Yanzi about it."

Lin Chen knew what Ding Qiunan wanted to discuss with Song Yanzi, even if she didn't say it.

Lin Chen gently patted her pert spot and laughed, "Yanzi is much stronger than you, so letting her lead the charge is indeed a good idea. But you also have to work hard... Now there's a little sister, Hao Dongmei, who's entered Beijing. She's even more resilient than Jingya."

Ding Qiunan shyly pushed her brother Lin Chen away... Of course, it wasn't just her hand that was tired.

"Going to sleep, I'm ignoring you! This... this isn't something I learned later in life, what can I do if I'm naturally not tough enough to take a beating?"

As dawn approached, Lin Chen stopped teasing his wife.

So she changed her position, inhaling the faint, virginal fragrance emanating from the other person, and slowly fell asleep, finally bringing the night to an end.

After all that, at least one table of people in the courtyard will be unable to sit down tomorrow, as Ji Cheng has already treated their injuries one by one.

Lin Chen needed to rest, but there were still people staying awake in the courtyard.

In the front yard

Qiangzi and Cai Quanwu worked together to carry Jia Zhangshi back home.

"You two deserve it. I'm leaving, don't drag me down with you. I have to attend a banquet tomorrow..."

Seeing Cai Quanwu fleeing in a hurry, Qiangzi had a sudden idea and quickly closed the door.

"Sister Zhang, how are you now? Lie down and rest. I've done as you instructed to draw the monkey's attention. Now let's just wait for him to come begging us to do his laundry and cook for him!"

Qiangzi is quite something; he didn't do anything himself, yet he claimed all the credit for it…

Jia Zhangshi had no time to care about the little monkey's life or death; she felt like her whole body was about to fall apart.

"What exactly happened? Why did we get caught? My back is about to break... Those women, Li Daniu and her gang, actually went for the kill. I won't let them get away with this."

Qiangzi then told his wife about the analysis the three of them had just done, and Jia Zhangshi was so angry that she almost died.

Now Fan Jinyou and his gang, along with the old swindler, have become the targets of Jia Zhangshi's curses.

Jia Zhangshi only wanted to take advantage of the chaos and make the little monkey suffer, but she didn't want to expose herself.

"This...this guy's an idiot! He actually believed that old liar. Just wait a few days and I'll be heading to the front gate to find that bastard..."

Qiangzi had already brought a towel to wipe the bloodstains from his wife's face; after all, he thought so too. That old liar deserved to be taught a lesson…

"Never mind! He has the money, let him throw a feast... After dawn, we'll say some nice things to Brother Lin and then shift the blame to Little Monkey."

Jia Zhangshi's back was in so much pain she couldn't even turn over, and she'd also taken several punches to the face from Li Daniu. She had no way of going to apologize...

"Qiangzi, don't worry about me! Let's continue with the plan. Go to the little monkey's place quickly. Don't let him take over the nursing duties after dawn... Hurry up!"

Even in this state, Jia Zhangshi still hasn't forgotten about making money.

Qiangzi also felt that his wife was right, so he picked up his bedding and rushed to the west courtyard.

"Sister Zhang, hang in there, I'll be back at dawn."

Qiangzi had just stepped out when he encountered Little Chick coming out of Cui Dake's house.

"Little chick, wait a minute! How's Manager Cui? Broken leg or broken arm?"

Ji Cheng glanced at the other person dismissively: "No, he just broke a rib!"

It's normal for the robot girl to break ribs with one punch; let's see who dares to take advantage of the situation after this.

After shivering, Qiangzi hurriedly ran to the west courtyard. He had to protect the little monkey and prevent others from taking it away.

The little monkey, who was crying on the kang (a heated brick bed), frowned immediately when it saw Qiangzi return.

"Why are you back again?"

Qiangzi threw down his bedding roll and directly stated his purpose.

"Your sister-in-law sent me here. She said you don't have anyone to serve you tea or water at night. I'll stay here and take care of you from now on..."

The little monkey was just cursing these people for being heartless, but it turns out he was wrong! There are still more good people in the world!

"Good, good, good, your sister-in-law is a really nice person!"

As soon as Qiangzi realized the other party had misunderstood, he immediately clarified again: "Comrade Hou Yongjie, you don't want to use people for free, do you? Cai Quanwu and his wife are paying one yuan a day to take care of Xiao Yang. If you don't pay, I'm going home!"

The little monkey, who was feeling touched, immediately stopped. He had just been praising them for their kindness and loyalty. Turns out, it was their mother trying to make money off him!

"You guys... this... alright! One piece it is, just get me a glass of water. And that bottle, I... I need to pee."

Qiangzi was just about to lie down when he realized the other person was being incredibly fussy. Drinking upstairs and urinating downstairs—what kind of nonsense was this?

"No problem, let's start calculating now! Settlement is done daily, no credit allowed."

The little monkey had no choice at the moment; it just didn't expect that it would be its turn so soon.

……

As the Xu family's rooster crowed, the women and children in the courtyard all got up.

The men, having toiled all night, wanted to sleep a little longer, so the women and children got up early to help.

After all, people like Qiao Qiqi were already able to help out. The courtyard house didn't keep idle people. Even Bang Geng was called upon by Ma Lan.

At this moment, the two brothers, Chamenzhong and his brother, also returned to the courtyard, cursing and swearing. The women became curious about their disheveled appearance.

"What's wrong with you two? Who scratched you?"

The two brothers had their faces scratched bloody, and now when they think about it, they start cursing.

"Who else could it be but the women of Jiudaowanzi! We...we were blocked by the early-rising women! If we hadn't run fast, we would have been caught by Tong Zhi and his men."

Peng Jizhong and Xu Hesheng went to keep watch, but they didn't see Tong Zhi and the others leave until after 3 a.m.

The two brothers assumed that Guo Da Piezi should have already returned to the courtyard with the supplies, so they lowered their guard.

Since the two brothers went there right after dinner, and hadn't slept all night, they fell asleep without realizing it!

When they woke up again, it was already past five o'clock. They were hiding in a corner when they were caught by a woman who had also gotten up early. After a struggle, this is what happened…

"Pah, those old women are up really early. I wonder where they're going? If it weren't for the saying 'a good man doesn't fight with a woman,' I would have given them a good beating."
