Courtyard House: In this life, I have a new home!

45

These two girls are hopeless.

What girl chases after a man to get married?

As the old saying goes: people don't take you seriously if you offer yourself up too readily.

That Brother Long was never one to be trifled with.

Even if he were truly reliable, wouldn't he be incredibly arrogant if two people were fighting over him?

After they move in, will they still have a good life?

Qin Huairu had been silent until she suddenly spoke up: "Invite him to come over for a visit tomorrow."

As a mother, I have to see what my son-in-law looks like.

Huaihua immediately jumped up: "Okay!"

She even winked at her sister.

Xiao Dang stomped her feet in anger, her hands clenched tightly.

The next morning, Huaihua hummed a little tune as she ran towards the old warehouse.

Xiao Dang wanted to follow, but Sha Zhu grabbed his arm.

"Why are you getting involved?"

Sha Zhu lowered his voice, "Staging another man-stealing drama? How shameful!"

Xiao Dang pouted, tears welling up in her eyes.

Brother Long was squatting behind the tin box smoking when he heard the shout. His hand trembled, and all the cigarette ash fell onto his pants.

"Again?"

A chill ran down his spine, and he gestured to his men, "Quickly say I'm not here!"

late.

With sharp eyes, Huaihua lunged forward, hooking her arm around his wrist, and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "I'm pregnant."

Brother Long dropped the cigarette in his hand to the ground.

Huh? What?

Seeing her blushing and rubbing the hem of her clothes with her head down, he felt a chill run down the back of his neck.

Is she really pregnant?

But don't you always wear it?

"My mom said she wants you to come over for dinner to discuss our wedding."

The locust blossoms smiled so much that their eyes curved into crescent moons.

Brother Long scratched the back of his head and chuckled twice.

To be honest, when we first met, both sisters were quite pretty.

Marrying anyone would bring you honor.

Now... he quietly took half a step back, his heel crushing a shard of glass.

Brother Long pulled out a wad of banknotes and stuffed them directly into Huaihua's hand: "Here, a little something for our meeting."

"I've been so busy lately, I'll visit another day."

He grinned, revealing two canine teeth.

Huaihua clutched the money, her fingertips burning, her eyes crinkling into crescents as she smiled.

"That little girl, Xiao Dang, bothered me for half the day again today."

Brother Long casually dusted off the dust from his sleeves. "So annoying."

Huaihua immediately tucked the money into her bosom and snorted, "If she dares to come any closer, I'll tear her mouth apart!"

Hearing the commotion, Qin Huairu ran out and her eyes widened when she saw the stack of red bills.

"Ouch!"

She snatched it away, her fingers trembling as she counted, "This is enough to keep our restaurant running for three months!"

Hearing the voice, Jia Zhangshi squeezed over, craning her neck: "Huai Ru, shall I keep it for you? I don't feel comfortable leaving it with you."

Huaihua rolled her eyes, turned around and left: "You can count them yourself, I'm going to see Uncle Aiguo for a checkup!"

Xiao Dang squatted in the corner, her nails digging into her palms, staring at the tightly closed, broken door, and grinding her teeth.

As soon as Wang Aiguo showed up, he threw the compensation bill at her, and all the money Jia Zhangshi had saved for her coffin went down the drain.

She turned around and cheated her own family members, manipulating the contract to swindle two thousand yuan from Brother Long.

When he came back from prison, the money was gone.

She didn't even dare to ask.

It's highly likely that either Sha Zhu or Qin Huairu took it by chance!

But can we say this out loud?

They've already shown leniency by not dwelling on the fake contract.

Seeing that her face was cleaner than her pocket, Jia Zhangshi was furious.

Seeing a large sum of cash, even though he knew it was inappropriate, his feet still moved towards it against his will.

Qin Huairu is no vegetarian.

"No need for 207!"

She grabbed the banknotes and stuffed them into her pocket. "I'll deposit them in the bank myself! I'll keep them—to help Banggeng get married!"

Bang Geng just divorced Qin Jingru.

Feeling guilty, the woman packed her things and disappeared.

Qin Huairu didn't say it aloud, but she had already made up her mind: even though her son had a limp, she still had to find him another wife.

If city girls don't work, then a decent-looking, hardworking girl from the countryside will do.

Marrying into the family means getting a city residency permit; who wouldn't be happy?

The conditions aren't great? Then you should be even more grateful!

"laugh!"

When Jia Zhangshi was rebuffed, her face fell, and she blurted out sarcastic remarks: "These young people nowadays... they can't even hold their own pants, their bellies are already bulging! Back in our day... hehe!"

"Milk! What do you mean?"

Huaihua's face darkened. "You're turning on me if you don't give me money? Do you even deserve to be a grandmother?"

"Did Grandma say something wrong?"

Xiao Dang immediately chimed in, hands on hips and glaring, "Coming to my door asking for money with a pregnant belly, it's really disgusting!"

"vomit--"

She gagged exaggeratedly twice, purely out of anger and a desire to disgust people.

Who knew that once I started vomiting, I couldn't stop?

Her face turned pale, she covered her mouth and rushed to the door, "Wow!"

With a loud thud, it sprayed all over the blue bricks.

Everyone was stunned.

That's such a ruthless performance!

Besides, everyone in the courtyard knows about the locust blossoms. It's fine to talk about it behind closed doors, but how can we spread it around outside?

"Little Dang! Are you asking for a beating?"

Huaihua was so angry that her hands trembled. Good heavens, I haven't vomited that badly yet!

Wait... vomit?

She pressed her hand suddenly to her lower abdomen, her fingertips trembling.

The people inside moved much faster this time!

After all, the locust flower incident just happened yesterday.

Xiao Dang suddenly squatted down and dry heaved, and Qin Huairu immediately rushed over to help her.

"What's wrong? Did you eat something wrong?"

She frantically patted his back.

"We all eat the same food!"

Jia Zhangshi laughed, hands on her hips, "Could it be that you're pregnant too? Then I'll have control of that money!"

"Shut up!"

Qin Huairu's face turned green.

No one had time to argue; they all rushed to the hospital with their bare hands.

As soon as the test results came out, Xiao Dang snatched them away, her eyes shining.

"I'm really pregnant!"

She jumped three times on the spot, and her skirt flew up.

Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu stood in the corner, glanced at each other, and both looked ashen-faced.

How did this girl grow up to be so ugly?

Huaihua's face turned ashen: "Sister! Get rid of it! Brother Long only recognizes this one in my belly!"

"dream!"

Xiao Dang gripped the ultrasound report so tightly it made a rustling sound.

Yesterday, when Huaihua brought money into the house, Grandma's eyes almost popped out of her head.

I deserve this scenery!

"Handle it immediately!"

Huaihua's voice was hoarse from shouting, "Uncle Aiguo said I'm his son! You don't even know what that is!"

"Pooh!"

Xiao Dang turned and rushed into the examination room, "Doctor! Boy or girl? Tell me quickly!"

The doctor's brow furrowed.

This kind of thing is no longer fashionable in Beijing.

The child is too young to be examined.

Even if we can investigate, we can't say it's illegal!

"Take her home and raise her!"

He slung the stethoscope around his neck. "Don't overthink it. These days, young men and women are just as precious!"

"Bullshit!"

Xiao Dang stomped her foot, "If Wang Aiguo can make such a good prediction, just admit it if you can't!"

The doctor sneered, "Fine, go find him. What are you doing here?"

Makes sense!

Xiao Dang froze for a second, then dashed out of the yard and headed straight for the courtyard house!

Is she carrying a boy or a girl?

If it were a girl... Huaihua would be riding on her neck and pooping again!

No! We must find Wang Aiguo! Let him touch it himself!

Qin Huairu and her group followed behind, their minds filled with questions.

Why is this girl acting like she's on a spring?

"Uncle Patriot!"

She rushed into the courtyard and threw herself at them, crying, "Quick, help me see if this baby is a boy or a girl?"

Wang Aiguo nearly dropped the enamel mug in his hand.

Is she pregnant again?

Good heavens, Jia Dongxu has only been gone a short while and the Jia family is already starting to have a bunch of problems!

The stalks were long gone, otherwise the yard would probably be full of kids by now!

His eyelids kept twitching.

Back when Qin Huairu worked in the factory, even the most unsophisticated person knew to avoid people when doing things.

These two girls aren't even married, yet they're wearing their pregnancies like badges of honor!

Using pregnancy to force marriage?

Brother Long was never a kind person.

Even if someone is originally honest, seeing their market value skyrocket, their heart will twist into a pretzel!

He slammed the jar on the table and said, "Get out if you don't pay me back."

Qin Huairu shrank back, too guilty to look up.

She could never repay the money she swindled from Xiao Hu in her lifetime.

"Uncle Patriot, don't go!"

Xiao Dang reached out and grabbed his arm, her voice trembling, "Just for a moment! Your hands are warm, I could tell just by taking your pulse!"

Wang Aiguo suddenly turned to the side.

She missed her target and nearly fell into the chicken coop.

So annoying!

He glanced at her and casually uttered three words: "It's a girl."

Xiao Dang froze on the spot, her face turning pale instantly.

Behind me, the locust blossoms burst into laughter, their laughter bright and crisp.

"Thanks, Uncle Aiguo!"

She stood on tiptoe and called out, "You absolutely have to come to my wedding banquet with Brother Long!"

Xiao Dang's ears were ringing and his legs felt weak.

It’s over.

Jia Xiaodang clutched the hem of her clothes as she walked home, her stomach throbbing with pain.

This wretched body of mine is so useless, I'm carrying a girl!

Brother Long is wealthy and definitely hoping to find a son.

No, I have to find him and get to the bottom of this right away!

Huaihua was cracking sunflower seeds in the yard, and she glanced at her and laughed, "Oh, your belly's bulging, but your heart's sunken?"

Qin Huairu couldn't stop him, and Xiao Dang grabbed a broom, ready to swing it.

I can't stay at home anymore!

We headed straight for the abandoned warehouse.

Brother Long was smoking a cigarette when he looked up and saw her menacing expression; he almost dropped his cigarette.

"Who offended you?"

His throat tightened.

"Do you want a son or not?"

She asked me abruptly.

Brother Long's face stiffened. He waved his men away, rubbing his hands together with a wry smile: "We're not emperors, we can't just have whatever we want!"

"fart!"

She stomped her foot and slapped her stomach hard. "Uncle Aiguo said it's a girl!"

"Uncle Patriot? Who's that?"

He frowned.

"The old Chinese medicine doctor downstairs is very accurate."

She was panting with anxiety, "If you really want a son, I'll have a medical abortion today!"

"No, no, no!"

He waved his hands repeatedly, cold sweat pouring down his back.

My body is already completely drained; if I exert myself any more, I'm afraid I'll just end up lying on a board.

Those who operate in the underworld have a bottom line.

He's capable of robbing and arson, but to take his anger out on an unborn child?

He dared not get involved in anything that would bring him divine retribution.

"Then marry me!"

She rushed up to him, grabbed his arm, and snuggled into his embrace.

"……become."

Brother Long is a smooth talker; he can fool both sides like it's nothing.

Empty promises? They just throw them out without batting an eye.

"But you!"

Xiao Dang pouted, her eyes red with anger. "Huaihua's dowry was a whopping sum! And me? I haven't even heard a sound!"

Oops!

I completely forgot about that...

Brother Long's temples were throbbing, and his head was throbbing.

Drawing a picture of a cake to satisfy hunger is fine, but real gold and silver? If you keep throwing money around like this, you'll have to pawn your underwear!

A while ago, the locust flowers came knocking on our door, immediately asking to see my parents.

He was stunned on the spot, so he threw money at her to shut her up and get some peace and quiet.

I regretted it so much afterwards—

That money is enough to support ten young models for three months!

Before your belly even swells up, you've already taken a mountain of gold?

Now even Xiao Dang is joining in the fun?

None of the doors!
