Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"I dated someone when I was in school, but she was an only child! She wanted to live in her house after we got married!"

"Living in her house? Wouldn't that make me a live-in son-in-law? That's not possible, absolutely not possible!" As the eldest son and the most valued son among Liu Hai, how could Liu Guangqi agree to let him live out, and in his father-in-law's house? If this got out, would he still have the face to save?

"Dad, I'm not going to live here forever. I'm just staying here temporarily. I'll move out when the steel rolling mill allocates houses!" Liu Guangqi's girlfriend is a junior college classmate, an only child, from a well-off family. Her parents are also very satisfied with Liu Guangqi. The only condition is that he wants to live in their house after marriage. This is also the reason why Liu Guangqi has not explained the situation to his family. He knows that Liu Haizhong will definitely not agree!

Because of Liu Haizhong's violent temper, Liu Guangqi had long thought of escaping from this home, but now Liu Haizhong's temperament has changed, which makes him hesitate again! If it is not necessary, who wants to leave home!

Liu Guangqi then changed his original idea. At worst, he could just travel back and forth and live in separate houses. This idea was also supported by his partner!

But Liu Guangqi’s biggest difficulty now is, after getting married, where will he live in the courtyard?

"If I don't want to live there, then I don't have to. But, if I get married, how will my house accommodate me?" Liu Guangqi's question put Liu Haizhong in a difficult position!

The house at home is the same as Xu Damao's, which was converted from two rooms into three rooms. There is one room for Liu Haizhong and his wife, one is the living room and dining room, and the other is the residence of the three sons. They are all rather small. Now they can be lived in, but how will the daughter-in-law accommodate her when she comes?

"Let them live in the living room and give you the room!" Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and said,

"This is not appropriate. Guangtian and Guangfu are grown men now, it's not convenient!" It doesn't matter if you wear more clothes in winter, but in summer, it will be very inconvenient to expose your chest and back!

Liu Guangqi still doesn't want to squeeze in at home, so he goes to live in his father-in-law's house, which is so spacious, with a private courtyard! He will live there for a few years, and then move out when the house is allocated!

"You are the eldest son in the family, so what's the big deal about moving out? If anyone wants to move out, it should be the two of them! Besides, is it that easy to divide up the company's housing? There are some that have been waiting for several years, so you have to live in their house all the time, right? No, I'll find a way to rent a house nearby!"

Liu Haizhong certainly didn't want Liu Guangqi to move out, he just wanted him to stay at home! Only Liu Haizhong favored Liu Guangqi, so he could negotiate in such a good way. If it were Liu Guangtian or Liu Guangfu, they would have glared at him and the seven wolves would have started dancing!

"Dad! How can it be so easy to rent a house nowadays?"

Most of the rental houses nowadays are public housing, which means that the excess properties in private hands are managed uniformly by the real estate department of each district or the street office and rented out to people in need. Due to the low price, many people want to rent houses, resulting in a situation where there are too many people and too few houses!

Liu Guangqi is a formal employee of the steel rolling mill. If he gets married, he can apply to the steel rolling mill for housing. However, he also needs to wait in line. As for how long the wait will take, it is hard to say. He can only wait patiently!

If Liu Haizhong wants to rent a house for Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, the quickest way is to rent a private house. There are also very few such houses, and the rent is much more expensive than public housing!

For example, the house that Liu Haizhong's family lives in now only costs three yuan a month to rent to the factory, but if you rent a private house, it would cost at least ten yuan. In an era when the general salary was around 30 yuan, this was very expensive, and it was also very difficult to rent!

Another way is to buy a house. Although it cannot be transferred now, there are still private transactions, such as mortgage, trusteeship, etc.!

However, buying a house is a huge expense for Liu Haizhong. Although Liu Haizhong has a high salary, the expenses of the whole family depend on his salary alone. Moreover, Liu Haizhong is a blacksmith, and his food must be oily and nutritious, otherwise his body will not be able to support it. Therefore, Liu Haizhong has not saved much money! Buying a house, plus getting married, Liu Haizhong is under great pressure!

Liu Haizhong was in a dilemma. He wanted to keep Liu Guangqi at home, so he had to solve the housing problem, whether renting or buying!

Liu Haizhong was a little annoyed, so he walked out of the house, walked around the yard, went out the door, and started to wander around the alley! After walking around Nanluogu for a long time, Liu Haizhong still couldn't find a suitable house!

The most ideal thing, of course, is to live in a courtyard house, but there are no empty rooms in the current courtyard houses. The backyard is full. The main room in the backyard is occupied by a deaf old lady, which is her private room. The east and west wing rooms are occupied by him and Xu Damao, and the ear rooms on both sides are also occupied!

In the central courtyard, He Daqing's family is a wealthy real estate tycoon. He Yuzhu lives in the three main rooms, He Yushui lives in the ear room, He Daqing and Chen Wanyi live in the east wing, one of the west wing belongs to Jia Dongxu's family, and the remaining room and the ear room next to it are all occupied!

In the front yard, Yan Bugui's family lives in two rooms, and Chen Dayong's family lives in a small courtyard built by themselves. Next to the gate are four back houses, two of which are occupied by Old Mrs. Hu and her grandson. The remaining two rooms facing the gate of Yan Bugui's house are still empty!

The back house is against the alley, and the windows facing the alley are very small. The size of the house is about the same as the ear room, the space is small, and the lighting and ventilation are very poor. Living in it will feel very depressed. Even so, the rent is not much cheaper, so most people don’t want it! But if it can be rented to Liu Guangtian and his brother to live in, it’s not impossible. It’s just for sleeping at night, it should be no problem! Liu Haizhong was thinking in his heart!

I went to take a special look. Although the room was not rented out, it was full of miscellaneous items. Some were placed there by other residents, but most of them were junk collected by Yan Bugui's family!

Liu Haizhong looked around and thought it was okay to rent it, so he walked home excitedly, not noticing that Yan Bugui had been observing him for a long time. Seeing Liu Haizhong looking at the back house, Yan Bugui suddenly became nervous. He had been planning on these two back houses, and he considered them as something in his pocket! The accumulation of debris in the room was also intentional, just to make it look shabby and unsightly!

In the courtyard, apart from private houses and steel mill-owned houses, the only houses in the front yard are managed by the street office. In order to keep the two back houses, Yan Bugui put a lot of thought into it. The door gods are not called for in vain, as they have repelled many tenants who came to inquire about the rental information. As for the street office, as no one mentioned them for a long time, the two houses were successfully buried in the information and no one remembered them!

His family’s housing conditions are even worse than Liu Haizhong’s. There is a little girl in the family, so the living conditions are more crowded!

Yan Bugui had already planned that when his children got married in the future, he would rent a back house for them to live in. Not only would it be close to home, but the rent would also be cheap, making it convenient for him to manage the children!

The reason why he has not rented it is that, firstly, he feels that it is not the right time yet. If he rents it too early, it will be a waste of rent. He should save every penny. Secondly, the street office will not rent it out without a legitimate reason. Not having enough room at home is not a reason. It is something that you need to overcome yourself. Unless you have no house to live in and you are married and living alone, then you can apply to the street office!

But the appearance of Liu Haizhong today made Yan Bugui alert. Has Liu Haizhong also set his eyes on these two houses?

Chapter 265 Chen Zhiguo, he is my male god!

At night, Chen Xueru lay in Chen Zhiguo's arms, "Why did you think of adopting a goddaughter?"

"I am worried because I am of a lower generation than Xu Huizhen!" Chen Xueru pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"You and her are not related by blood, so what seniority can you talk about?" Chen Zhiguo was a little confused. Why did people have to fight over such an insignificant thing?

"Of course not!" Chen Xueru said aggrievedly, "I am your sister. If you call He Daqing uncle, then Cai Quanwu is also your uncle. If Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu get together, I will have to call her aunt. I won't do it!"

"Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu? Xu Huizhen is a widow?"

"No, it kind of is!"

"What on earth is it? Tell me clearly!"

"Alas! Xu Huizhen also met the wrong person! When she was going to have a blind date, she suddenly fell ill. Her family thought she couldn't hold on, so they arranged for her cousin Xu Huizhi to go on a blind date for her! Unexpectedly, the man liked her at first sight, and the marriage was settled! Later, her illness recovered. What should she do? Xu Huizhen wanted to let her cousin go, because after all, it was you who went to the blind date and the man liked you. But her cousin disagreed and said that he didn't like her!

Xu Huizhen couldn't force him to stay with her. She wanted to break off the engagement but her family didn't agree, and she didn't want to ruin her reputation! So, she got married without even meeting her. From the beginning, the two had conflicts. The man said Xu Huizhen was a liar! They quarreled for a long time about this matter. No matter how Xu Huizhen explained, she wouldn't listen. The man was just a stubborn person, and they would quarrel for no reason!

Later, Xu Huizhen simply said that she was originally her cousin, but she died of illness, and she was the replacement. I am a virgin, and I have given you my body. If you are not satisfied, then divorce me. I don’t want to quarrel with you every day! As a result, the man refused to agree and just kept wasting time!

About half a year later, her husband somehow found Xu Huizhi again. You said Xu Huizhi was really something. She refused to marry him when I asked her to. Now, she doesn't care about her reputation anymore and got involved with her brother-in-law. What do you think of this? Isn't this harming Xu Huizhen?

Xu Huizhen's husband went home and had a big quarrel, which made his old man so angry that he left Xu Huizhen, who was already pregnant, and even abandoned his home, running to the countryside to live with Xu Huizhi without a care in the world!

Xu Huizhen dragged her pregnant body to take care of her father-in-law who was lying in bed and to look after the tavern. On a snowy night, she was about to give birth and had to walk to the hospital alone. Her water broke on the way and she was saved by Cai Quanwu who passed by. Only then did mother and daughter survive! Before she was out of confinement, her father-in-law passed away. That cruel man didn't even come back to see her. Xu Huizhen had to hold on to the funeral by herself, and Cai Quanwu also helped a lot. From then on, the two of them had a sign of love!"

"It turns out that Xu Hui is so strong, what a remarkable woman! She usually seems cheerful, but I didn't expect that she has encountered so many bad things. It would be difficult for an ordinary woman to get through it!" Chen Zhiguo exclaimed.

"So, it's really not easy for women like us who are out in the limelight and doing business. We will always encounter people with bad intentions!" Chen Xueru was also reminded of sad things. She thought of the man who abandoned her. That was the one she fell in love with, and it was also the one who hurt her the most!

Chen Zhiguo tightened his grip, "Okay, don't think about the past, it's all in the past. Don't you have me now?"

"Yes, with a good brother like me, I don't have to worry about anything!" Chen Xueru smiled.

"Okay, the story is over, go back to bed!"

"I'll lie down for a while!" Chen Xueru really didn't want to leave Chen Zhiguo's arms, and she deliberately leaned into Chen Zhiguo's arms. Chen Zhiguo was a young man, and he was in his prime. He didn't want to make himself uncomfortable, so he urged her.

"Go ahead. We can't be together every day. You can't always let Sister Xiaohua see you lying on my bed!"

Because of Fan Jinyou's incident, Chen Zhiguo was afraid that Chen Xueru would be scared in the middle of the night, so he hugged her all night! The next morning, he got up, but Chen Xueru refused to get up. As a result, when Jiang Xiaohua got up, she saw Chen Xueru sleeping on his bed. Chen Xueru was embarrassed, but it was difficult to explain, so she didn't tell her family about Fan Jinyou's incident!

"Okay!" Chen Xueru climbed up reluctantly and walked into the room!

In the room, Chen Xueru just lay down, "Sister Xueru, I want to sleep with my little sister!"

"Xiaohua, what are you thinking about?"

"I sleep here, I sleep here..." Jiang Xiaohua was a little incoherent and didn't know how to explain!

"You!" Chen Xueru lifted the quilt, "Come here, let's sleep together tonight, it's a good time to talk in private!"

Jiang Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, but still entered Chen Xueru's bed, "Xiaohua, it's not what you think?"

"Ah? What's that like?"

"I'm a divorced woman, and I'm several years older than Zhiguo. How could I possibly marry him? Zhiguo has a bright future, and a woman like me would only bring him criticism."

"Then why are you still like that with him?" Jiang Xiaohua asked in surprise.

"What?" Chen Xueru said with a smile.

"Yes, I was hugging him." Jiang Xiaohua mustered up a lot of courage and said it out loud, her face flushed.

"That's because you don't know how warm and safe your brother Zhiguo's arms are! If it weren't for him, I don't know what I would become. It's not that he pesters me, but that I'm obsessed with him! In this life, I don't want to leave him! Anyway, I'm his sister!" Chen Xueru's face showed obsession and intoxication!

"Sister Xueru, then you won't get married!" Jiang Xiaohua said in surprise.

"Who would you marry? Who could be as good as Zhiguo?"

Jiang Xiaohua was silent for a long time, "There is no one better than him!"

"Oh! If only I had met him earlier, what a pity!" Chen Xueru recalled the joke Chen Zhiguo made that day.

"What's the point of meeting him earlier? Isn't Zhiguo younger? He can't marry you!"

"Be his child bride!" Chen Xueru giggled, and as she giggled, tears started to fall.

"Ah!" Jiang Xiaohua was stunned, but it was really possible. Child brides were all older, some were ten years older, it would be surprising if they were not! She was just curious about why Chen Xueru was so devoted to Chen Zhiguo.

"Sister Xueru, why did you decide on Zhiguo? With your qualifications, it wouldn't be difficult for any man in the world to find a good one."

"Xiaohua, you don't know how much Zhiguo has done for me. I remember when I first met him, he saved me like a god. From that time on, I knew that no one could replace him in this life!" Chen Xueru said faintly.

"Sister Xueru, tell me about it!" Jiang Xiaohua snuggled up to Chen Xueru, and Chen Xueru stretched out her arms to hug her, "Okay, I'll tell you tonight, none of these stinky men are good!"

"Ah! Why are you scolding Zhiguo too!"

"You little girl, even you are protecting him!" Chen Xueru teased, her mind slightly moved, this little girl is also tempted? Can I pull her along?

Chen Xueru runs a silk shop. In the past, the clients she received were all wives and concubines of rich men. She had seen all kinds of people, including second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth wives. She was very open-minded about such things and got used to them. In her mind, it was normal for a capable man to be charming and throw himself into a flame!

Jiang Xiaohua blushed, "No, no, I just said that you scolded all men. Isn't Zhiguo also a man?"

"He doesn't count, he's my idol!"

"what!"

Chen Xueru told the stories of her two husbands. "You don't know, Xiaohua. After the accident, I couldn't sleep all night. I was about to collapse! Later, my godmother found out and let me sleep in Chen Zhiguo's bed. Only here can I sleep peacefully! Zhiguo knew that I would have nightmares at night, so he stayed up all night to take care of me. Where can I find such a good man? Which man can treat me like this? I married two men, but what was the result? They abandoned me and took my money and ran away!"

Jiang Xiaohua also felt the same way, "Sister Xueru, why do all men become bad?"

"I can't resist the temptation! Besides, I won't cherish it once I get it!" Chen Xueru spat.

Jiang Xiaohua thought of her man, who had been in the city for less than half a year and had become like this. "Sister Xueru, will Zhiguo be like this in the future?"

"Do you think he will abandon me in the future?" Jiang Xiaohua nodded.

"I don't think he will!" After Chen Xueru finished speaking, she whispered a few words in Jiang Xiaohua's ear, which made Jiang Xiaohua very embarrassed. They were all experienced people, but Jiang Xiaohua had not been influenced by the old ladies in the village. No one said such vicious words in front of her. But Chen Xueru was different. She had been on the streets since she was a child, and the people she met were all resentful women in the boudoir. She had heard all kinds of words and had been influenced by them for a long time!

"No? Can he really hold it in?"

"Nonsense, how can I not feel it? He looks just like the iron rod!" Chen Xueru didn't feel anything, but Jiang Xiaohua opened her mouth in surprise.

"Why, you want to open your mouth and take a bite!" Chen Xueru teased.

"Sister Xueru, you!" Jiang Xiaohua shyly covered her face and sat up, "Sister Xueru, I don't want to sleep with you anymore!"

As she was about to stand up and leave, "Xiaohua, what's wrong with you?" Chen Xueru pointed at Jiang Xiaohua's chest and asked?

"When something happened at home, I was almost out of milk and couldn't squeeze out any more. Later, my grandmother took me home and made delicious food for me every day. Slowly, I made up for it. Now my children can't finish it. It's like this every day!" Jiang Xiaohua had a look of distress on her face. Without worries, this was too much and it was annoying. It was very uncomfortable!

"Xiaohua, aren't you feeling very uncomfortable like this?"

"It's really uncomfortable, especially every night, it's so uncomfortable!" Jiang Xiaohua said with a frown. She didn't even dare to touch it. It felt so bad!

Chen Xueru's eyes turned, "I have a way!"
