Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Chapter 2146 Beautiful women have always been a source of trouble.

Tian Yezi initially wanted to give up, but she just couldn't stop thinking about that man. She thought about him all the time, and he just couldn't shake him off her mind.

“I swear it’s all true, you can think about it. I only told you this because I consider you a sister, even my aunt doesn’t know.”

He Xiulian was already carrying her dowry when she left home, so she didn't need to ask for anyone's opinion. She could love someone wholeheartedly as long as she liked them…

"Alright then! Let me think about it."

Tian Yezi glanced at the direction where her brother Lin Chen had parked his car.

"Think about it, Lin Chen wants to transfer you to the city and arrange a job for you, even though you're not related. Isn't that obviously a sign that he's interested in you? He definitely can't say it directly, so this is a test of whether we dare to take the initiative. That way, if something happens in the future, we'll be able to take responsibility..."

These days, corrupt officials are no small matter; if handled poorly, they could be punished severely.

After all, she could be considered an enemy agent sent to corrupt government officials. Tian Yezi had even planned her escape route! If she were exposed, she was willing to take the blame rather than implicate the Lin family. Just think about how determined she was.

"Ye Zi, you...you love him so much, aren't you afraid I'll steal him from you?"

Seeing the other person's serious expression, Tian Yezi chuckled: "Are you stupid? We're the ones vying for Sister-in-law Huairu's affections now, we're allies, understand? Just tell me if you agree or not! If you don't, I'll go it alone. Don't say I didn't warn you if you miss this opportunity later."

He Xiulian thought about how Lin Chen had both changed her job and treated her tuberculosis. Wasn't this just a pretext for him to do *that*? Since he couldn't ask directly, she should take the initiative.

"Okay, I promise you! From now on, we'll share both the good times and the bad."

Two little girls were making a pinky promise when Lin Chen walked over with three strings of candied hawthorns.

These two sisters are commendable for their courage, and a sweet and sour candied hawthorn is a fitting reward.

The two girls only realized something was wrong after they received the candied hawthorns; they were different from the ones they had eaten before.

"Brother Lin Chen, where did you buy these candied hawthorns? Why aren't they hawthorn berries?"

The Lin family eats only the finest ingredients, and even their candied hawthorns are different from others.

"Shh! Eat up, don't let anyone else see. These are special strawberries shipped from the south... just so you can have a taste."

These days, there aren't any improved, large strawberries on the market, which is why the two little girls were curious.

Fresh, large strawberries coated with a thin layer of syrup were a rare treat in those times of scarcity.

"So that's how it is. We've never even seen such big strawberries before, let alone eaten them."

Lin Chen's personal space contains not only medicinal herbs, but also all sorts of food ingredients.

After the three of them finished eating their special candied hawthorns in a less crowded area, they started strolling around with the large group of people enjoying spring outings.

Beihai Park was bustling with people in early March. Two little girls followed Lin Chen, one on each side. They consciously maintained a certain distance from each other in public...

"Brother Lin Chen, take us boating! We don't have lakes like this in our hometown, let alone boats."

"Okay, but you'd better hold on tight! Otherwise, falling off could be a real problem..."

The two girls felt inexplicably safe with Lin Chen, and now they suspected that he was deliberately trying to scare them.

The three of them quickly got a small boat... and Lin Chen rowed wherever there were fewer people, since it was a place where they could tell some risqué jokes.

They're all going to be like moths to a flame! I should go along with it too.

Lin Chen had already spotted Zhao Ruilong's mother on the lake, so he deliberately rowed his small boat away from Zhao Lichun and the Xue family girl's romantic encounter.

This is the courtyard

Zhong Zhengguo hurriedly returned from the naval compound. After hearing from his nephew about the Ji family's powerful backers, the Zhang family also supported him in cultivating a relationship with Ji Yunfeng and his uncle.

However, he was also arranged to maintain frequent contact with the Lin family, even though the Lin family had no powerful backing. But Lin Chen was definitely not a simple person…

Zhong Zhengguo went back to the courtyard and immediately looked for Xiao Chunzi; he had something to discuss with her. Now that Yi Zhonghai and the others could cut in line, his and Zhao Lichun's dinner party could also be moved up! As for Liao's roast chicken, they could wait a bit longer!

"Hey guys, have you seen Zhao Lichun? Where did that kid go?!"

Ji Cheng and the others all shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen the other party.

"I haven't seen him all morning, he's probably out shopping!"

"Most likely. He looked quite well-dressed when he went out. It was like he was going on a blind date... like he was going to Beihai Park."

A group of young people in the courtyard burst into laughter...

"Zhao Lichun washed his hair and shaved in the morning, and his leather shoes were polished to a shine. He was obviously going out on business; you don't usually see him this formal."

Upon hearing about the blind date, Zhong Zhengguo immediately frowned slightly... The people in the courtyard didn't know, but he knew some things.

"It's unlikely that this mourner will go looking for supplies; he'll probably go looking for Xue Hongmei again."

Zhong Zhengguo, who had originally planned to go home, turned around and rushed to Beihai Park...

Xue Hongmei was these two's classmate, but a year ahead of them. Although she wasn't particularly attractive, her family background was extraordinary…

Zhong Zhengguo felt like his home had been raided, so he left for a while. Had Zhao Lichun made his move again?

Don't be fooled by Zhao Lichun and Zhong Zhengguo's current brotherly bond; as the saying goes, beautiful women are often a source of trouble. If Zhao Lichun marries Xue Hongmei, the two will inevitably fight for life.

At the gate leading from the middle courtyard to the front courtyard, Zhong Zhengguo, in his haste, bumped into Jia Zhangshi, who was about to steal food from the middle courtyard.

Bang Geng and Zhang Haiyang bumped into each other here, and little did they expect that a few days later Zhong Zhengguo would overpower Jia Zhangshi here again.

Just after returning home, Jia Zhangshi had a sudden inspiration. Now that everyone in the courtyard had gone to the neighboring house to join in the fun, why not take advantage of the empty kitchen and see if she could get some meat to eat?

As a result, Jia Zhangshi didn't get to eat any meat; she was knocked over by Zhong Zhengguo as soon as she stepped outside.

There were steps at the bottom of the gate, and Jia Zhangshi fell quite hard.

"You bastard surnamed Zhong, are you in such a hurry to announce a death?"

Zhong Zhengguo was focused on finding Zhao Lichun as soon as possible when he accidentally bumped into Jia Zhangshi, who was about to enter the Intermediate People's Court.

"Hiss... Go to hell, are you blind? You're deliberately blocking my way..."

Upon seeing that it was Jia Zhangshi who had been knocked down, Zhong Zhengguo immediately turned the tables. He argued that Banggeng and his cousin were just children playing around, but his actions with Jia Zhangshi were a different story. He needed to find a counter-argument, or he would be extorted.

Regarding Jia Zhangshi's reputation, Zhong Zhengguo said that most people believed her when she deliberately blocked the way.

Madam Jia was shocked that this boy, who had clearly been the one to push her away, was now accusing her of deliberately blocking the way. "Fine! Fine! I've been wanting to settle accounts with you all anyway, and now's my chance!"

"You're talking nonsense! I'm already quite close to the side of this wide doorway. You were the one who looked down and bumped into me. Come quick! Zhong Zhengguo is hitting someone! He broke my hand!"
