Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 144 Returning to the Siheyuan, Chen Xueru's Request

Li Weidong saw that Lou Xiaoe agreed, but he was still worried and said:

"Be sure to tell Uncle Lou and Aunt Tan not to come back even if the country recalls them. You can try to feign illness or something. If there is really no other way, have Uncle Lou and the others call me and I will make the arrangements. Remember one thing, do not come back without my notice.

As long as they are outside, I can find a way to keep them safe, but if they come back, I guess there is nothing I can do."

Lou Xiao'e was so scared that she nodded quickly and said she understood.

"Brother Dong, is it so serious? Are my dad and the others okay?" Zhou Xiaolin asked.

Yang Ruoxi and Wang Xinyi also looked at Li Weidong with some concern, and it seemed that they also wanted to ask their father.

"Except Xiao'e's parents, my father-in-laws basically have no problems. They are either in the army or in important positions. They haven't made any major mistakes themselves, so nothing will happen to them," said Li Weidong.

"However, Xueru and Huizhen's store will be a bit troublesome. But it's not a big problem. I'm here, so it's no big deal. If it really doesn't work out, just abandon the store, just like we went to Tianjin." Li Weidong continued.

The three women nodded in relief.

Wang Xinyi didn't know what she was thinking about at this time. She suddenly raised her head and said to Li Weidong:

"That's not right, Dongzi. If we all go to Tianjin, what will happen to the children?"

Li Weidong only then remembered that he still had five children in school! But he couldn't say that he didn't think about the children, otherwise he would be scolded.
After thinking for a while, Li Weidong said:
"What's the big deal? Don't we still have their aunt? Besides, my three fathers-in-law are all in Beijing. Can I really let them starve? Even if the food might be a little worse, it's good to endure a little hardship these days.

Besides, we are not going very far, just to Tianjin. If we miss our children, we can ask our dad to send a car to bring them over. We can let them play for a few days and then send them back, right?

Of course, we have to take care of the baby in your belly. After all, it's just been born, so we definitely need to take care of it. After we run away, we can give it to my father-in-law and their aunt to take care of. I'm also worried that they won't be able to take good care of the baby since it's just been born."

Li Weidong spoke confidently, without any sense of guilt.

Zhou Xiaolin, Wang Xinyi, and Yang Ruoxi all rolled their eyes at Li Weidong.

"When you get home, talk to Xiaobai yourself. I guess we'll tell that girl she'll make a fuss again," Zhou Xiaolin said.

"Him? It's better for you to tell him. I guess Xiaobai girl doesn't know what she is going to blackmail her brother-in-law with this matter!" Yang Ruoxi said with a wicked smile.

"Haha, Ruoxi, don't talk nonsense! How can it be blackmail? That's Xiaobai and his brother-in-law improving their relationship." Wang Xinyi also said with a smile.

Li Weidong didn't care much. Zhou Xiaobai was a little girl, and she could be easily dealt with by just coaxing her. But when he got home, he was worried about how to tell Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen about this matter.

Xu Huizhen is better, she's much more sensible and won't act unreasonably. But Chen Xueru is not so good. Even if she knows you have something to deal with, she will take the opportunity to ask for some benefits. Moreover, this woman can run such a big business, and she doesn't look down on ordinary people. It's not easy to satisfy her.

In the past, if I had something to do, I could just sleep with her. Now I don’t have that condition. After all, I’m already pregnant, so I don’t dare to do anything rash.

Li Weidong thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with any good solution. He could only take it one step at a time when he returned home.

After chatting for a while in the office, Li Weidong sat in the office to design the satellite phone, while the four girls drank tea and chatted in Li Weidong's office.

It was not until after get off work that the few of them left Li Weidong's office, got into the car, and Li Weidong drove the jeep back to Sijiucheng.

At Qianmen Street, we picked up Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen and drove towards the courtyard.

After returning to the courtyard, Li Weidong went to cook a meal and then served it on the table. Everyone started eating. After everyone finished eating, Li Weidong washed the dishes and sat back in the living room. He told Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen about going to Tianjin.

"What? You are going to Tianjin at this time? I don't agree. What's the situation we are in now? Why are you going on a business trip at this time?" Chen Xueru said angrily.

"Yes, Dongzi, can't you go to Tianjin after we give birth?" Xu Huizhen also echoed.

"Xueru, Huizhen, it's not that I don't want to wait until you give birth before going, but what can we say now? The wind direction is a little wrong. I'll do an experiment first. If it's okay, let's all go to Tianjin. The city of Beijing may not be peaceful in a while, so let's go to Tianjin and live there for a while!" Li Weidong said, comforting Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru.

"Ah! Are we going there too? What about the store?"

Chen Xueru said in surprise.

"I can't take care of the store right now. Besides, we're not short of money. If all else fails, just donate the store! It'll be easier for you two, and you can still take care of the kids."

"Dongzi, is there something wrong? We are all going to Tianjin."

Xu Huizhen also asked in confusion.

"Listen to me and don't ask any more questions."

Li Weidong said with a serious face.

Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru looked at each other and stopped asking questions.

But Chen Xueru thought about it and said unwillingly:

"Even if you have something to do, it's not a reason for you to go to Tianjin when we are about to give birth. You have to compensate us anyway."

"Then what kind of compensation do you want? I can do everything I can for you." Li Weidong said helplessly.

"Let me think about it!" Chen Xueru said, then sat in a chair and began to ponder.

Xu Huizhen and the remaining women also stared at Li Weidong with smiles. The meaning was clear: you can't just give benefits to Chen Xueru, you have to treat everyone equally.

Looking at the smiling women, Li Weidong suddenly felt overwhelmed. If he didn't give it to them, it would be unreasonable. If he gave it to them, they would each have a condition, and he didn't know what it was. What if they were trying to embarrass him?
Li Weidong hoped for a miracle to happen, that Chen Xueru would suddenly stop asking for benefits, or that the condition would be a kiss or a hug.

Just then, a voice came.

"Brother-in-law, we are back!"

Li Weidong's eyes suddenly lit up, he said something and ran out.

"Xiaobai and the child are back. I'll go see them."

Li Weidong felt extremely fortunate. Although Zhou Xiaobai was not very reliable at ordinary times, he was still very helpful at critical moments.

You see, this time it was Zhou Xiaobai who saved us from trouble, right?
Li Weidong thought to himself that he would reward Zhou Xiaobai well later.

As soon as I walked out the door, I saw Zhou Xiaobai rushing in with six children.
