Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 168 Picky
Chengdong District, Dongsi West Street, the home of Chen Cheng, the son of the Ministry of Metallurgy.

"I contacted my second brother today about what I mentioned last time."

Liu Lihua took the coat from her husband who came home from get off work at noon and hung it on the coat hook, and said to Chen Cheng nonchalantly.

"Oh, what did the second brother say?"

After hearing what his wife said, Chen Cheng smiled and asked casually.

Despite what his wife said so calmly, Chen Cheng, who knew Liu Lihua's temperament and character, could still tell from his wife's eyebrows that she attached great importance to this matter.

"You are right, my second brother really attaches great importance to aiding Korea. When I mentioned this matter, I could feel my brother's happiness from the phone. He also always asked me to take good care of him, a soldier without a father and a mother. "

After hearing what Liu Lihua said, Chen Cheng was not surprised at all.

Not to mention that He Yuanchao once saved his second brother's life, but the two had a comradeship that had gone through many ups and downs in the seven or eight years they had been together. With Chen Gang's emotional temperament, he would always be thinking about this boy.

"Then when are you going to tell that kid about this?"

When her husband asked about this, Liu Lihua, who was a little excited just now, couldn't help but put away her smile, and said to Chen Cheng worriedly: "Second brother, there is no problem, but I don't know what the kid who aided Korea thinks."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Cheng expectantly.

"How could he think that as soon as he heard about this good thing, that kid would immediately bow his head and worship!"

Seeing the worry on his wife's face, Chen Cheng immediately smiled resolutely.

When Liu Lihua saw her husband's affirmative look, she felt a lot more at ease.

She, Liu Lihua, is not someone who has never seen the world, nor is she someone who can afford to take things but cannot let them go.

But since the last time she saw He Yuanchao looking at her secretly at the branch, she would always unknowingly imagine He Yuanchao as her child. The look in his eyes was so similar to that of her dead child. This might be Mingming. God's compensation for oneself.

Thinking of this, Liu Lihua couldn't help but feel the urge to know He Yuanchao's thoughts.

"Old Chen, how about we go to Yuan Chao's house tonight to ask?"

After hearing what his wife said, Chen Cheng immediately showed a troubled expression and said, "It can't happen tonight. I have a meeting in the afternoon. I don't know when it will be held."

After saying that, seeing the disappointment on Liu Lihua's face, Chen Cheng said hurriedly: "Otherwise, you are ready to prepare. I will ask Yuanchao to come to my house for dinner tomorrow night. Let's discuss this matter."

"Okay, that's it."

As soon as Chen Cheng finished speaking, Liu Lihua said without thinking.

After discussing the meeting, Liu Lihua also felt that she was a little out of sorts, so she hurriedly picked up Chen Cheng's briefcase and called her husband into the room.

Looking at his wife who was much more alive than before because of this incident, Chen Cheng felt happy in his heart. In order to relieve his wife's knot, he had spent a lot of time over the years. Unexpectedly, the last one, He Yuanchao, came to help. He settled the matter.

Thinking of this, Chen Cheng sat down on the sofa and said to his wife with a smile: "He Yuanchao is going to get married soon. If you get married now, you will have to come forward to help. You have to think about this quickly. It’s over.”

Liu Lihua asked knowingly: "Is it with the girl from the Zhang family?"

"Hey, what do you think of the Zhang family girl?"

After hearing the tone of his wife's words, Chen Cheng asked with some doubts.

"There's nothing else. It's just that the incident between her and the Wang family was a bit heated back then. I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on aiding Korea."

Liu Lihua listened to her husband's words and did not hide her thoughts.

Hahaha... Seeing his wife looking picky like a mother-in-law looking for a daughter-in-law, Chen Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, Chen Cheng said teasingly: "This puts me in the role of a mother. I'm not afraid that guy He Yuanchao won't agree."

"Whether the aid Korea recognizes me or not is a fact, and we can't talk about it yet."

Seeing her husband teasing her, Liu Lihua didn't care. She rolled her eyes at Chen Cheng and then said it.

"That's true, but the two of us are getting married soon. Besides, it's our second brother who proposes marriage. Please don't bring up this matter in front of He Yuanchao in the future."

Chen Cheng saw his wife's aggrieved look and hurriedly reminded her.

"I know, I'm not stupid, how could I bring up such a thing as a supporter of Korea?"

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Cheng and suddenly said with some reluctance: "If I had met this kid Yuan Chao earlier, I would have found a suitable one for him from our Liu family no matter what."

"Okay, don't think about it. Just watch the two of you get married. Stop being a bad person and let your future goddaughter-in-law complain about you."

After hearing his wife's somewhat outrageous remarks, Chen Cheng started joking.

"Why, can't you think about it?"

Liu Lihua also knew that this was because she was interested in shaving her head and choosing a new face, so she took it for granted. After saying this, she burst into laughter.

Chen Cheng was happy to see his wife smiling so freely, but at the same time he felt sour in his heart. He Yuanchao would try to deal with him tomorrow night if he dared to push back and disagree, making his wife sad.

After making up his mind, Chen Cheng said to his smiling wife: "Your matter is settled. Now is it time to consider the issue of my hunger?"

"It's already been prepared for you."

After saying that, Liu Lihua stood up with a smile and pulled Chen Cheng towards the dining table.

Chang'an Street, the courtyard of the Coal Ministry, Zhang Min's house.

As soon as he came down from upstairs, Zhang Min was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear. What was going on? He just went to the toilet. Why did his parents and men in front of him even change their names? It’s over.

"What are you doing standing around? Why don't you quickly sit down and eat."

Zhang Min's mother said a little disgustedly when she saw her daughter looking like she had never seen the world.

After listening to his mother's words, Zhang Min finally recovered from his daze, but he still asked his men in confusion: "Yuan Korea, why did you change your words?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Min's mother was not happy, "Why, do you still need your approval to aid Korea or not?"

"No, I...I didn't mean that, I..."

"Then what do you mean? I told you to support Korea. From now on, you can't listen to Xiao Min on everything. When it's time to make your own decision, you have to make your own decision. If she makes trouble with you, you will come back to find her. I, mom, will make the decision for you."

Zhang Min's mother didn't wait for her daughter to finish what she said, and continued to speak in support of her uncle with a smile.

Is this my own mother?
Zhang Min glanced at his mother suspiciously, and seeing that she ignored him and was still talking to her own man, Zhang Min looked at Comrade Lao Zhang again.

Zhang Lide glanced at his daughter, quickly turned his head, picked up the wine glass and said to Zhang Min's mother and He Yuanchao who were talking: "Your mother is right, men must act like men. What will Xiao Min do in the future?" If you find something bad about her, come back to your mother and ask her to educate her."

After saying that, Comrade Lao Zhang muttered secretly in his heart, "Daughter, dad can only help you so much."

After muttering, he happily clinked glasses with his uncle and drank one.
