Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 125: Zao, please kneel down, brother and sister, I beg you for something.

"Go and eat. Your brother is cooking today and has left some rice for you to warm on the stove."

Tian Zao responded when he heard the words, but he was not very interested.

Chen Xueru narrowed her eyes and looked at Li Xiuzhu subconsciously, and the two immediately looked at each other.

Zaoer is worried. Is something wrong again?
Qin Huairu was also startled. She stood up and accompanied Tian Zao to take the lunch box from the stove. At the same time, she asked, "Isn't Sister Zaoer quite happy when she went out today?"

"What? Are you being bullied?"

Tian Zao looked at Li Xiuzhu and Chen Xueru when he heard this. He opened his mouth twice but couldn't say anything.

Finally, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, let's eat."

Li Xiuzhu suddenly laughed when he saw this.

Suddenly I thought of a sentence in Miss Dong's lyrics.

Falling in love with a wild horse, but there is no grassland in my home.

Although it didn't exactly fit the occasion, this sentence came to mind for no reason.

Maybe Tian Zao wanted to be free at this time, but unfortunately her family became a drag on her.

Chen Xueru looked at Li Xiuzhu, who was smiling but not smiling, then looked at the women in the room, and suddenly smiled too.

"Zaoer, is Li Hongying looking for you?"

Chen Xueru's words immediately stunned Tian Zao, and then she subconsciously asked: "How do you know?"

Chen Xueru smiled when she heard this and said, "We are all a family, don't you know me well?"

"Stop talking about sister, your brother has already seen it."

"Didn't you see that although he had a smile on his face, there was no smile at all in his eyes?"

Tian Zao lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, brother."

"I'm sorry, sister."

Chen Xueru didn't answer and asked directly: "Are you really so reluctant to work in the street office?"

Tian Zao nodded and shook his head.

Tian Zao explained: "Although I like this job, after my sister's persuasion, I have been able to let it go."

"But Sister Hongying asked me for help, and I don't know what to do."

"Sister Hongying said that I can only carry out the work in this area, and people don't trust them very much now. Only I can make both sides trust each other and achieve effective communication."

Chen Xueru sneered when she heard this: "What she said is bullshit."

"sister……"

"Don't interrupt."

Just as Tian Zao was about to speak, he was immediately interrupted by Chen Xueru.

Seeing that Tian Zao had calmed down, Chen Xueru continued: "If I can let my sister use foul language, she, Li Hongying, is also a famous figure. Sister Qiu has taken note of it."

"Don't think my sister's words are unpleasant. We have more than ten districts in Sijiu City. Other districts can do without you, Tian Zao, but Shichahai can't do without you?"

"I see, it's Li Hongying who thinks you're simple and easy to handle, and it's convenient to do things, so she doesn't want to let you go."

"She has a pretty good idea. She wants to find someone who can take advantage of it."

"Since she wants a handy tool, she has to divorce you."

Chen Xueru's words touched everyone's heart, which meant that Tian Zao didn't want to speculate on her Hongying sister.

Chen Xueru understood when Tian Zao didn't speak.

"Sister, let me ask you, are you really unable to let go?"

Tian Zao hesitated for a moment and nodded.

There was one thing she didn't say. Sister Hongying said that the organization had avenged her, and now that the organization needed her, it was time for her to repay the organization.

She has never forgotten the kindness of killing her father, so in addition to her love for the street job, this is also the reason why she can't let it go.

Chen Xueru didn't get angry when Tian Zao nodded, but silently knocked on the table for a while.

There was a soft "ta-da" sound. Although the sound was not loud, it was so loud that no one in the room dared to breathe heavily.

Only Li Xiuzhu was present who was relaxed and calm.

I don't know if she was spoiled by Li Xiuzhu, but Chen Xueru's aura increased unknowingly.

Just when Tian Zao was wondering whether to admit his mistake, Chen Xueru suddenly said lightly: "Zao'er, kneel down. I beg you to do something."

Tian Zao hesitated when he heard the words, and his heart sank, but he still stood up and knelt down.

Qin Huairu's heart tightened and she quickly said: "The ground is cold, I'll get a mat for you."

Before Qin Huairu could leave, she heard Chen Xueru say lightly: "No need to take it, just let her kneel like this."

Qin Huairu hesitated, not daring to go any further. He looked at Tian Zao apologetically and stood aside.

After Tian Zao knelt down, Chen Xueru said: "You have something on your mind. If I keep blocking you, you will have something on your mind sooner or later."

"So I won't stop you today."

"But you can leave if you want. You have to promise me a few things."

Tian Zao thought that Chen Xueru was telling her to stop her wild thoughts, but she didn't expect that her sister actually let her go.

Tian Zao hurriedly said: "Sister, I agree to whatever you say."

Although Tian Zao agreed readily, Chen Xueru said without any joy: "First, you can't share any of your brother's property. Just clean up and leave the house."

Tian Zao nodded when he heard this and said: "Okay, this is what it should be."

"And I will return double the gift money that I agreed with my sister before."

"But I don't have it now, can I owe it first? When I have money in the future, I will definitely pay it back to my sister."

Chen Xueru sneered in a funny way, am I the one who is short of that little money?
But she didn't object. This was what the other party should bear.

"Second, you can't look for men outside."

"Just think that I, Chen Xueru, am overbearing. Even if you end up alone in your life, you can't have another man. Otherwise, don't blame me."

Tian Zao did not hesitate when he heard this.

"Sister, I haven't thought about other men since my brother and I got together."

"I, Tian Zao, will be born into the Li family in my life, and will be owned by the Li family in death."

Chen Xueru and Li Xiuzhu looked better after hearing this.

Chen Xueru nodded and continued: "Third, you can't leak anything about your family to outsiders."

"It's not just about property, it also includes relationships between characters."

"For now, these are your older sisters and younger sisters before the divorce, and they are all divorced."

"Whenever I hear something I shouldn't hear, and it comes from your mouth, don't blame me for falling out."

When Tian Zao heard Chen Xueru's request, he quickly nodded again.

"Sister, I understand everything. I will never tell anyone about my family's affairs."

"Something unfavorable to my brother and sister really leaked out of my Tian Zao mouth. Without my brother and sister opening my mouth, I, Tian Zao, committed suicide in front of my sister."

Chen Xueru sighed helplessly after hearing this.

"Okay, let's get up and eat."

"It's the last meal, eat more."

"You can move out when it gets dark tomorrow after eating."

Tian Zao felt numb after hearing this, move out? She didn't want to move away.

Tian Zao hurriedly spoke and said flatteringly: "Sister, can I not leave?"

"I want to live by my brother and eldest sister."

"Sister Hongying said she would allow me to get divorced without leaving home, otherwise I wouldn't hesitate."

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, not expecting such a turn.

Just as he was about to speak, Tian Zao gritted his teeth and continued: "Brother, sister, if it doesn't work out, I can live in the woodshed. Can you please don't drive me away?"

Qin Huairu also spoke at this time, pleading: "Sister, brother, Sister Zaoer is still pregnant."

"How can she keep up with the cost of food and clothing when she goes out?"

"It's not like you don't know that she works for free. Apart from receiving some rice, flour, and oil, she doesn't even get a penny as salary."

"Sister, brother, please."

As she said this, Qin Huairu looked at the other sisters, wanting everyone to beg for mercy, but few of them dared to speak.

After all, Shen Qingqiu was young and not familiar with the world. He hesitated for a moment before pleading: "Sister Xueru, sister Huairu is right. This is my brother's child after all."

"Sister Xueru, can you please stop chasing her away?"

As soon as Shen Qingqiu opened his mouth, Zhou Xue sighed.

She originally didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. She had no position, and she wasn't familiar with Tian Zao either.

But when her daughter spoke, it was hard for her to remain silent. Her daughter was overstepping her authority and defying the authority of the main family.

But before she could speak, another person who dared to speak spoke.

Jiang Meiying didn't say much, just called a name.

"Xueru..."

Although it is just a name, the soft voice is hard to refuse.

Chen Xueru said angrily: "One by one, each one speaks faster than the other. It seems that you can speak, right?"

"Did I say I disagreed?"

"As for the woodshed? The woodshed is pretty good too. Let's just live in the woodshed."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu hurriedly said: "Sister, we have some empty houses left..." Hearing this, Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at Qin Huairu and said angrily: "It's obvious to you, isn't it? Why don't you take charge of this house? ?”

Qin Huairu hesitated and did not dare to speak anymore.

Chen Xueru then said angrily: "You don't even look at her status. Is it possible for her to live with us after divorce? You haven't even read the marriage law, right?"

"Okay, let's go back and ask your brother to find two people to clear out the woodshed and then open a small door in our yard."

"From now on, use the small door to eat and do errands."

"On weekdays, from the outside, apart from taking care of the children, everyone should go about their own business."

"Although everyone knows it well, you still have to pretend to be like this."

"Man, when you install the door, find someone to make it a secret door. It's best to have one that looks like a cabinet."

"It needs to be something that others can't see if you don't open it."

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this. This is not a big problem.

When Chen Xueru saw the man nodding, she stopped asking any more questions. She felt relieved that her man was doing things.

"Okay, stop kneeling and get up to eat."

Tian Zao was about to stand up after hearing this, but at this moment, Li Xiuzhu suddenly said: "Kneel down for a while longer."

ah? ? ? Is her brother angry too?

Tian Zao couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.

She didn't leave home even after getting divorced, and she still lived in a woodshed. She admitted her mistake, and what else did she want to do.

However, she felt aggrieved because in the final analysis it was her fault, and it was her man who spoke.

Get down on your knees.

Seeing Tian Zao kneel down, Li Xiuzhu said directly: "Zao'er, I heard what you just said. Since you still care about your family in your heart, I want to ask you something."

Tian Zao was stunned. She didn't expect her brother to say the same thing.

But how can any of you beg for help and let the person being begged kneel down? This is somewhat outrageous, right?
Li Xiuzhu continued: "In two years we will elect the director of the subdistrict office."

“The streets may be carefully divided in the future.”

"In other words, the Shishahai Subdistrict Office may become a small subdivision office such as Nanluoguxiang Subdistrict Office and Gulou Street Subdistrict Office."

"I don't care which street office you go to. My only request is that after ten years, you must promise that you will be transferred to the street office that manages Nanluoguxiang."

Although Li Xiuzhu felt that Tian Zao might be promoted to manage the entire Shichahai area by then, he still had to say hello to Tian Zao in advance.

What if it can't?
Anyway, this area must be in the hands of our own people.

The street and the Qin family are all here, plus brother Zaoer. As long as the superiors don't want to take action against his family, stability is inevitable.

As for the above, he has already thought of a strategy and just needs to wait for the strong wind.

Although Tian Zao didn't understand what he meant, he still nodded and agreed.

"Okay brother, these ten years are my repayment to those neighbors, and in ten years I will be the one to make up for the debt I owe to my brother and sister."

Li Xiuzhu then said: "Okay, let's get up and eat."

Tian Zao got up and staggered a bit when he got up, but luckily Qin Huairu who was standing next to him held him up.

Chen Xueru saw Tian Zao starting to eat happily, and then she said to the others: "The house can't accommodate so many people for the time being, and there is always one more person, so do you plan to go back there, or squeeze in here?"

Zhou Wenjing heard this and said quickly: "I want to be here."

Ruan Qingqiu looked at Li Xiuzhu, his face turned red, and he said, "I want to sleep with my brother tonight."

Ruan Qingqiu made Zhou Wenjing jealous as soon as he opened his mouth.

She also thought, why should this sister be at least three years older than her?

Thinking of this, she glanced at her mother angrily.

Zhou Xue didn't really want to sleep here, but at this moment, Wang Fengxia suddenly said: "How about we squeeze in, I can squeeze in with sister Zhou Xue."

When Zhou Xue heard this, she felt that it was not impossible. She nodded and said, "I don't have a problem either."

Jiang Meiying is the only one left, and she can do it all.

"I can too."

But just after a few people agreed, Chen Xueru suddenly said: "Since everyone agrees, then I will make arrangements for living there."

"First of all, Sister Xue cannot sleep with Sister Xia."

"Sister Xia, please sleep with Wen Jing."

"Sister Xue, you and Zao'er sleep together. Zao'er is pregnant and the child is prone to kicking around. I'm worried."

"Next is Huairu. You, Qingqiu and Zhaodi are together. You three are similar in age, so you can definitely have fun."

"Finally, Mei Ying, we agreed that you will be the companion, and you can live with me."

Jiang Meiying's face turned slightly red when she heard this, but she nodded generously and agreed.

Others didn't care, but when Zhou Xue heard Chen Xueru's arrangement, her mind went blank.

In the next second, a lot of content was filled up in my mind, and all I could think about was the end...

When Tian Zao brought her into the house, Zhou Xue's body was stiff and her little hands were a little cold.

But she obviously thought too much.

I was worried for half a night, but nothing happened.

It wasn't until dawn that Zhou Xue fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at Zhou Xue with dark circles under her eyes the next day, Chen Xueru smiled.

"Hey, did Sister Xue steal a man at night? Look at her haggard appearance."

Although Zhou Xue was a little angry, she didn't dare to ridicule Chen Xueru. She was afraid of being plotted, so she started to eliminate breakfast angrily.

Ruan Qingqiu chuckled lightly and didn't care that her 'sister' was being teased.

They are already used to it. Sister Xueru bullies her cousin from time to time.

She never thought that Chen Xueru would also notice her smile.

"Hey, our little Qingqiu seems to be in good spirits. It seems that she slept well last night, right?"

Ruan Qingqiu blushed when he heard this. He had slept well, but what could she say?

"Well...thank you, sister."

Listening to the child's incoherent words, Chen Xueru laughed again.

"You shouldn't thank sister for this, thank your brother. It's all your brother's credit."

Ruan Qingqiu's face turned even redder when she heard this, but she still listened to Chen Xueru's words and thanked her as loudly as a mosquito: "Thank you, brother."

Li Xiuzhu was also amused. He put a steamed bun in Ruan Qingqiu's hand and said with a chuckle: "Eat more. This pickle is very rare. It is Shenjiang mustard from the south. Try it."

Ruan Qingqiu curiously took a sip after hearing this.

The crisp texture and fermented taste of sweet, sour and salty were just right, making her eyes light up.

"Brother, these pickles are delicious. Can we get some over there?"

After hearing this, Jiang Meiying and the other three also tasted it, and their eyes suddenly brightened.

If you have this to eat with, the food will definitely taste much better.

This jar of pickles was given to Li Xiuzhu not long after he signed the contract. The previous jar had already been eaten.

"Well, I'll put one in for you later."

The four of them were startled when they heard this, and they didn't understand why Li Xiuzhu was so stingy.

"There is not much fermentation water left. The pickles must be covered with water to keep the pickles for a long time."

"So when you finish eating, come and get it."

It turned out to be the case.

At this time, Qin Zhaodi on the side said a little distressedly: "You should save some food. These pickles are very expensive. They cost more than eight yuan per pound."

"The most important thing is to try your luck when buying. We couldn't buy anything we wanted in the first two months."

As soon as Qin Zhaodi finished speaking, she was knocked on the head by Li Xiuzhu.

"What are you talking about? We are all a family. After eating, we can eat something else."

"Why are you the only one who can eat it? My sisters can't eat it?"

When Qin Zhaodi heard this, she said aggrievedly: "Brother, you have wronged me. I am not doing this for my eldest sister and brother."

"Sister Huairu and I don't eat very much now, and whatever we save is given to Sister Zaoer."

"I've eaten at most one or two this month, just to satisfy my cravings."

Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, then said speechlessly: "What you said almost made your brother ashamed, just like I made you unable to eat."

"Just eat with confidence. If you have wine today, you will get drunk today."

"Maybe before I finish eating, I can meet the seller next time and buy new ones."

Chen Xueru also said speechlessly: "I thought you two were tired of it, but I didn't expect that you were wronged."

"Our family is not short of money. This Shenjiang mustard comes from Wujiang, right. I'll have someone bring some back from there later."

Li Xiuzhu smiled.

"It's not necessary. I'll prepare something fresh for you later. It's more refreshing and appetizing than this pickled mustard."

"My deputy position is a cook. Can you please respect me?"

The girls were all amused by Li Xiuzhu's words, while Li Xiuzhu asked Qin Zhaodi to cut another mustard.

"Eat with all your heart until you are happy."
