Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 128 Lou Xiaoe: Zhou Rushui, are you playing me?

Li Xiuzhu didn't know what the blue bracelet was made of, but he knew the crystal green bracelet.

Good guy, Manyang Green Glass Jadeite.

If they can be put together with this thing, these other items must be of the highest quality.

The name Lou Bancheng is well-deserved.

The gold jewelry in the cabinet on the left is also scary. There are two gold hairpins, two gold bracelets, and two gold earrings.

But don’t look at it. It’s just gold. It’s not simple either.

This gold hairpin is a gold hairpin for a person in the palace.

There is an entire pavilion, and there are also lifelike figures in the pavilion, such as fairy deer, cranes, and hibiscus sacred trees. They are so lifelike and exquisite that they are no ordinary objects at first glance.

The remaining gold hairpin was not simple at all. Although it was in the shape of a simple pendant with a gold ball hanging from it, the gold ball was made according to the concentric ball method. He could see it inside and out. There are as many as five balls.

Moreover, the gold hairpin, earrings and bracelets come in a set. One is already a national treasure, and the set is a set of five national treasures.

Li Xiuzhu was already convinced before he even looked at the top item.

"Xiao'e, your father is really rich, I accept it."

"It's just this golden hairpin. If there is a discerning person, it can be enough to replace it with a courtyard house."

Chen Xueru was speechless looking at these items. What women love most is jewelry. She is naturally knowledgeable. Every piece here is a high-quality product that is worth a lot of money.

But seeing the things on this layer, Li Xiuzhu was curious about what the first layer could be.

This cabinet has a total of four layers of small drawers, and the first layer is obviously not simple.

The drawer opens, and there are small wooden boxes on the left and right.

There are too few things, but this is how people know how precious they are.

Li Xiuzhu opened a box, and a bracelet that looked like mutton-fat jade but was not mutton-fat jade appeared in front of the four of them. Chen Xueru was stunned when she saw the bracelet.

Chen Xueru was a little disappointed when she saw it, because if it were mutton-fat jade, the water would not be fine enough and the oil would not be enough.

Too white.

And even the best mutton-fat jade bracelet is no more than a small thousand, incomparable to the things in the lower three layers.

But what if it wasn’t suet jade or ivory?

Such bright white ivory is worth some money, but not as valuable as the fine mutton-fat jade.

But just at this moment, Lou Xiaoe spoke.

"Sister, this is an heirloom of our family. If it's not an emergency, you must not sell it."

Chen Xueru asked in astonishment: "Heirloom? This bracelet?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded seriously when she heard this and said: "My dad told me repeatedly when he gave it to me, saying that this is the most precious heirloom in our family, so I must hide it. This thing is priceless."

Chen Xueru was numb. She couldn't see the priceless feeling at all. Instead, it looked like cheap mutton-fat jade without oil.

There is water but no oil, which is not valuable in mutton-fat jade.

"Xiao'e, do you know why your dad said that?"

Lou Xiao'e heard this and said: "Sister Xueru, have you heard that the moon in the sea sheds tears and the jade in the blue field produces smoke on the warm sun?"

Chen Xueru raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is this Lantian jade? White jade produced in Lantian?"

If you say so, it really might be.

It's just that this Lantian white jade is a bit ordinary. Even if it is living jade, it is useless. The color of this jade is not transparent enough.

"Well, no..." Lou Xiao'e simply didn't beat around the bush and said the answer directly.
  "This is cut from the South China Sea Night Pearl. It is made of the same material as Lafayette's Night Pearl."

"In his early years, Empress Dowager Cixi heard someone tell her that there were sharks in the South China Sea who shed tears and formed beads. The beads absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon. After death, if you hold the beads in your mouth, you can become an immortal."

"Anyway, a large number of people were sent to the South China Sea to kill sharks and retrieve pearls."

"Then a large number of Nanzhu were transported back. In addition to Nanzhu, they also brought back a jade-shaped mermaid with jade wings and golden scales."

"Lafayette knew that this was the pearl she wanted. He ordered someone to open the pearl, but because the pearl was too big, she couldn't hold it in her mouth, so she had to extract the essence."

"Then my ancestor was the official in charge of this matter, so he ordered people to fix the beads, took out the heart beads, and polished the edges into bracelets."

"At that time, a total of three bracelets were made from leftover materials, and this is the largest."

"There are also two small ones that my ancestors gave to Lafayette. I also made some accessories from the leftovers."

"My ancestor also secretly kept a pair of rings. Later, my ancestor sold the pair of rings to make his fortune."

With that said, Lou Xiao'e took out the bracelet and placed it in the shadow of the box.

Although there is still sunshine all around, just this little darkness makes the bracelet turn slightly green.

Lou Xiao'e explained: "The darker this bracelet is, the brighter it becomes. If you take it out from a place where you can't see your fingers, you can see the light from three to five meters away."

Chen Xueru and Qin Zhaodi were confused. They didn't expect that Lou Xiao'e's dowry would include such a king.

Li Xiuzhu didn't make much fuss. He already knew that Lou Xiao'e's family had this heirloom, but he didn't know about the other box.

Curiously, he opened another box, and there was also a bracelet inside.

But this bracelet is colorful, shiny and translucent, and full of vitality.

Yes, it is the feeling of vitality.

Li Xiuzhu didn't know much about jade yet. When he saw the bracelet, he asked curiously: "What kind of jade is this? It looks colorful."

It's not like Li Xiuzhu has never seen colorful jade before, but they are all made up of individual beads and the like, but this jade has five or six colors in one piece.

Not to mention Li Xiuzhu, it was the first time for Chen Xueru to see such a jade bracelet and she fell in love with it at first sight.

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she smiled and said, "My sister just guessed it, this is Lantian Jade."

"Brother, look."

Lou Xiao'e said, putting the colorful bracelet in the sun.

After a few breaths, a colorless twist appeared on the bracelet.

"Lantian jade produces smoke on a warm day. Only the best jade can have this smoke evaporation phenomenon."

Li Xiuzhu smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "I've gained experience, Xiao'e, you know so much."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she smiled proudly and said: "That's right, I have looked at all the good things at home in my free time. Now my dad will let me take a look when he buys antiques."

Li Xiuzhu was startled. He turned over his hand and a jade plaque appeared in his hand.

The white jade is flawless, has plenty of water, and has a flower carved on it.

Li Xiuzhu didn't know him, but it didn't bother him.

"Xiao'e, look what this is?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at it carefully and then said: "This is the winter jasmine jade pendant. Judging from the shape of this jade pendant, it shouldn't be a separate jade pendant, right?"

Li Xiuzhu laughed when he heard this.

"That's right. Guess how many pieces it is?"

Lou Xiao'e stretched out her hand and gestured on the jade pendant and said: "This should be twelve yuan. If it is twelve yuan, and there are spring flowers here, it should be the Yue Ling Twelve Flowers Jade Pendant."

"And the Yueling Jade Pendant should also have a round main pendant in the middle, so there should be thirteen pieces in total."

Li Xiuzhu smiled, there was Zhu Qiqi in this house.

Lou Zi was a bit wronged by eating at home and waiting to die.

In the blink of an eye, the jade pendant disappeared again.

Li Xiuzhu asked: "Ezi, do you bring these two jade bracelets? If not, I will help you put them away."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "I don't need anything. If Sister Xueru doesn't need it, then Brother Xiuzhu, just keep it all."

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, Chen Xueru waved her hand and said: "I don't need it either, I have the money... As for these jewelry, although they are good, I don't dare to wear them out. What if someone robs them. "

When Li Xiuzhu heard what the two said, he took a sheet on the side and said, "In that case, let me do a magic trick for you."

"Great, Brother Xiuzhu has done magic again."

Although it was not the first time Chen Xueru saw it, she was also curious about Li Xiuzhu's magic.

Qin Zhaodi, on the other hand, asked curiously: "My brother can also do magic?"

"You'll know just by looking at it."

As soon as Chen Xueru finished speaking, Li Xiuzhu flicked the list.

The moment the list covered everyone's sight, when it fell again, it had landed flatly on the ground.

Qin Zhaodi's eyes widened instantly and she opened the list in surprise.

Looking at the emptiness around him, he fell into shock.

Where is my big box?

"Brother, where have you been? The box as big as before is still here."

Li Xiuzhu chuckled and said, "Of course it's a secret."

"Have you ever seen a magician expose his own magic?"

Chen Xueru didn't care where the things went, she just said to Li Xiuzhu: "Man, things must be kept safe."

"Do not worry."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Xiuzhu with surprise in her eyes and said, "Brother, can you squat down?"

Li Xiuzhu was startled and squatted down in confusion.

He thought Lou Xiao'e was curious about what had happened, but as soon as he squatted down, Lou Xiao'e rushed over and kissed him.

"Brother, you are so awesome, this is your reward, hehe."

Is the current kid already so good at it?
  Early the next morning, Lou Xiao'e saw Li Xiuzhu and Chen Xueru getting up, but they didn't get up either.

Full of exhaustion, he turned around, rolled inside and continued to sleep.

Even though she looked tired, she was mentally satisfied.

She watched a movie for a while last night, and she curiously participated a little bit with the support of her sister.

It's a pity that there is only a little bit, and her brother won't let her take any more.

When Chen Xueru was leaving, she saw Zhou Rushui who was about to go out, and immediately said: "Rushui, sister, let me change your job first."

"Brother Li, you have to go out with me these two days. Please help me take care of our Xiao'e."

"There is ready-made breakfast at home. You can heat it for her when she wakes up, or take her to eat whatever she wants."

"Here are ten dollars and the key. If it's not enough, you can put it away first. If it's gone, you can ask me to get it."

As Chen Xueru spoke, she took out ten dollars and stuffed it into Zhou Rushui's hand, and left without waiting for Zhou Rushui to speak.

Zhou Rushui was numb, but he never thought of refusing.

First of all, this was her boss's order. Secondly, she owed Brother Li a lot and she always remembered it.

Not to mention that this was just a matter of work, she would be happy to help even if it was free of charge.

"Li Xiuzhu, you have been very diligent these past two days."

When he arrived in the front yard, he heard the Zhao family's wife teasing her. Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "It's rare that my woman needs me. What's wrong with working hard for two days?"

"By the way, our Xiao'e is at home. Later, the Sun family's sister-in-law will take her out for a walk. You can't bully my little wife."

The Zhao family's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "Can we, as sisters-in-law, bully our younger siblings? Don't worry, I will definitely not bully her."

Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Not only can't you bully, but you also have to help others if they bully you. My sisters-in-law have had a wedding banquet at our house."

The sisters-in-law who were chatting suddenly laughed.

"Okay, let's not let anyone bully you. But when will your Zao'er be born? We're just waiting for the full moon wine."

Chen Xueru smiled when she heard this and said, "Don't be anxious. In fact, there are still a few people in our family who haven't hosted a banquet. In addition to those who went to school in other places before, there are also some in Daying."

"But no one has been here before, so there's nothing we can do. If you want to eat it, we can make up for it when we have time."

Li Xiuzhu knew that this was paving the way for Zhou Wenjing and Hepburn, so he acted very naturally.

"Indeed, when I went abroad for the first time, everything was cooked."

"But they went to school and made movies, and they never came back."

"Didn't this one just come back recently? You have met her before, the girl who came to my house last time."

"She is Mei Ying's cousin. When Mei Ying and I made the decision together, we made the decision together at her house."

"Those who have had witnesses have just not held a banquet yet."

"Okay, you guys chat, let's go."

Li Xiuzhu's words shocked the several sisters-in-law who were chatting.

Whether this was true or not? As soon as Li Xiuzhu and the four left, the courtyard started talking.

"Do you think what Li Xiuzhu said is true or false?"

"Is there anything else we don't know about?"

"Isn't he trying to make an excuse?"

"I think it may be true. Li Xiuzhu said it and there are witnesses."

"And if you look at the little girl before, she is obviously very familiar with them. It doesn't look like it was the first day we met."

"Then let's eat?"

"Why don't we say goodbye now? Now that the Marriage Law has been promulgated, why don't we do it in a big way? It's okay if it's true. If it's false, we have to take responsibility."

"Okay, then we won't eat. Unless his family takes the initiative to do it, we can join in the fun. Otherwise, if his family doesn't ask for it, we can't take the initiative."

Look, who said that little people have no wisdom? Does this mean that they are not smart?

But it's a coincidence that both Li Xiuzhu and Chen Xueru thought so. If no one asked for it, they wouldn't do it.

There is no census anyway. As long as there is no divorce certificate, it all depends on one's mouth.

Suddenly someone said: "Then Lou Xiao'e seems to be Factory Director Lou's daughter, right? Isn't it immoral for the Sun family's daughter-in-law to take care of her?"

"..."

"..."

What they didn't expect just now was that these two people seemed to be enemies.

This is interesting.

The four of them, Li Xiuzhu, went out, dropped Qin Huairu at the silk shop, dropped Zhou Xue at the Hanlin Academy, and then took Qin Zhaodi to practice driving.

Chen Xueru could finish her work today just by making phone calls.

There is a telephone line in Wen Yu's house. Feng Guozhang used to answer it, but it was later discontinued.

Chen Xueru also had people on the phone in the past two days, so Chen Xueru got off the car at the house in Maoer Hutong.

Li Xiuzhu accompanied Qin Zhaodi to practice driving nearby all morning. After he felt relieved and let her drive by herself, he let Qin Zhaodi drive back.

Lou Xiao'e, who slept until three o'clock in the morning, was stunned for a moment when she opened her eyes and saw Zhou Rushui.

"Who are you? Why are you at our house?"

Zhou Rushui smiled when he heard this and said, "My name is Zhou Rushui. Sister Xueru asked me to take care of you."

"You're hungry? I'll heat up some food for you."

Lou Xiao'e frowned when she heard this and said, "You are Zhou Rushui, the man who my brother saved your life. You don't want to pay back the money and you want to die?"

Zhou Rushui was so embarrassed when he heard this that he almost wanted to pick his toes.

Zhou Rushui, who had a burdened face, smiled and said, "It's me."

She didn't explain. At that time, she thought that it was her fault that she died and people should take responsibility, but she was afraid at the time.

Seeing that Zhou Rushui didn't refute, Lou Xiao'e was a little bored and said no more.

"Then get me some food."

Zhou Rushui then smiled and said, "Brother Li and the others left some food for you before they left. Just heat it up."

"He also said that if you don't want to eat, I can take you out to eat."

"We have many small restaurants in Nanluogu Alley. The stir-fried dishes are very delicious. If you want to eat, I will take you there."

Lou Xiao'e heard this and asked: "What time is it?"

"Ah? I don't have a watch... I don't know where Brother Li's watch is."

Lou Xiao'e was a little speechless after hearing this, so she just had it for breakfast.

"Then warm it up."

Most of the breakfast staples at Li Xiuzhu's house are bought, but the side dishes are all homemade. Today, in addition to pickled mustard, there are also smoked ham and spicy strips, all of which were signed.

This was the first time Lou Xiao'e saw spicy strips and asked curiously: "What is this?"

"..."

Zhou Rushui is numb. You, a young lady from a wealthy family, don’t even know about it. Do you think I will know about it? I don't even know what that slice is or not.

"Well, maybe you can ask Brother Li when he comes back."

"Brother Li is not only knowledgeable, but also very knowledgeable."

Lou Xiao'e heard this and said curiously: "You seem to be very familiar with my brother Xiuzhu. Can you tell me about him? What he is in your eyes."

Zhou Rushui didn't think much after hearing this. He recalled it and smiled.

"Brother Li is very powerful. He has many advantages, too many to count."

"Brother Li is also very good at fishing. He seems to catch big fish every time he goes fishing."

"He is also very nice. Even though he pays [-] cents per catty when buying fish, he always gives me a lot of money."

"And when my husband had an accident, he took me to the hospital on his own initiative and helped me pay the medical bills in advance."

"But I wronged him and don't want to pay him back. I...I really deserve to die."

"Woooooo."

As he talked, Zhou Rushui started crying.

The sincere look suddenly made Lou Xiaoe feel that this white-eyed wolf was not so annoying.

"The past is past, we should look forward."

"I heard that you now give my brother five yuan every month you make money. Isn't that great?"

Zhou Rushui sighed after hearing this and said, "I may not be able to pay it back next month, and I will give birth in less than six months."

"I asked, it costs ten yuan for production."

"If it's a difficult delivery, it might cost thirty yuan."

"Even if it's not difficult to give birth, you still have to eat meat and eggs to supplement your baby's milk supply during the confinement period."

"So I may not be able to repay Brother Li for a year in the future."

Lou Xiao'e said nonchalantly: "It's okay. If you have this intention, you can pay it back slowly. I just need to tell my brother."

Zhou Rushui nodded when he heard this, sighed and said, "I don't know when we people will be able to stand up."

"My man was injured while working in the factory. But he was injured and he didn't get a penny of compensation." "You said, you can't live even if you work. How can most people leave money for medical treatment?"

"The factory is not responsible, so we have to bear the pain ourselves."

"If it weren't for Brother Li, my man would definitely not be able to be saved."

"It's just that sometimes I think it might be better if Brother Li doesn't save him."

"Brother Li's kindness has made our already poor family even worse."

"Now not only do I have a huge debt to repay, but the monthly painkillers and food rations also cost a lot of money."

"When the child is born, he will have more mouths to eat."

Lou Xiao'e didn't know what to say when she heard this.

His brother means well, but it is true that it makes things more difficult for others. This can only be blamed on unscrupulous businesses.

What kind of businessman? Can't you be a conscientious businessman like her father when doing business?

Her father has a conscience. He has donated a lot of money to our party. Even the factory's production plan prioritizes the needs of our party.

"What kind of factory is this? Why is the owner so evil?"

"They help him work, but they don't care at all if something happens?"

"What factory are you talking about?"

After hearing this, Zhou Rushui didn't think much and said directly: "Lou's Steel Rolling Mill."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she stopped with her chopsticks and dropped the spicy sticks on her chopsticks. She looked at Zhou Rushui and blinked.

It was as if a loud slap hit her face at this moment.

Didn't this woman know my identity and deliberately impersonate me? So I just scolded my dad?
  "Do you know who I am?"

Zhou Rushui was startled when he heard this, and replied in confusion: "Xiao'e?"

"You don't know my last name?"

Zhou Rushui blinked and said, "Sister Xueru didn't say anything? What's your surname?"

Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhou Rushui seriously, and then said: "My surname is Lou, from Lou's Steel Rolling Mill."

As soon as Lou Xiao'e's words came out, the scene instantly fell into embarrassment.

At this moment, Zhou Rushui really wanted to slam the door and walk out, but thinking about how good the Li family was to her, she couldn't do it.

Suddenly, Zhou Rushui sighed and said, "I don't know why Sister Xueru didn't tell me."

"But since Sister Xueru handed you over to me, I must take good care of you today."

"When Sister Xueru and the others come back today, I will tell them to hire someone else to take care of you."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Zhou Rushui who was silent for a long time and nodded.

"I went with me to buy a watch later. When I came out, I realized that it was really inconvenient not to have a watch."

Zhou Rushui was speechless after hearing this.

"Sister Xueru just gave me ten yuan, which is not enough to buy you a watch."

"Although Sister Xueru said that I should pay for it first, our family only has fifteen yuan left."

Lou Xiao'e smiled when she heard this.

"You don't need to pad it, I have it."

Although she didn't leave the money in the small box, she already had pocket money with her.

As she spoke, she took out a handful of money from her pocket. Lou Xiaoe counted the money and said, "Two hundred and two, that should be enough."

At this moment, Zhou Rushui suddenly felt that his life was a failure.

Maybe this is the difference between ordinary people and rich people. The money they have on hand is more than what she has saved for three months, more than ten times more.

After eating, Zhou Rushui went to Wangfujing Commercial Street under the leadership of Lou Xiao'e.

The things here are a little more expensive than those in the Qianmen shops, but they are also more refined. The four major foreign banks are all nearby.

Lou Xiao'e randomly found a foreign bank and went in, and finally bought a women's calfskin watch.

The style is average and the size is suitable, making it easy to check the time.

Although the asking price is not cheap, a full one hundred and sixty, Lou Xiao'e's little face is full of disgust.

Then the two of them walked around Wangfujing. Zhou Rushui took good care of Lou Xiaoe along the way. Even though she was pregnant, she always stood in front of her and held her hand.

Li Xiuzhu originally wanted to go back to the Siheyuan and take Lou Xiaoe to Maoer Hutong, but when he came back, he found that the person was not there, and he only found out after asking that he had gone out.

Li Xiuzhu didn't go looking for anyone. He went to Maoer Hutong with Qin Zhaodi and ate there.

Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and soon the sun is going down.

Qin Zhaodi went to pick up someone, while Li Xiuzhu took Chen Xueru for a stroll on the streets of Nanluogu Lane.

Chen Xueru looked at the sun that was about to set and smiled and said: "I feel like I haven't watched the sunset properly for a long time. Now I stand here and look at the street scene, as if I'm looking at a painting."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "You've been too fast lately. Even if you explain everything, you still have too much to do."

"Actually, our family will have more money than we can spend in a lifetime, so you don't have to work so hard."

Chen Xueru shook her head and said: "I'm not fighting, I just like the feeling of...how to put it, it's the feeling of struggle."

“Watching my business grow bigger and bigger, I feel a sense of accomplishment.”

Li Xiuzhu nodded understandingly. His eldest wife was too career-minded, Tian Zao was too eager to repay her kindness, Huai Ru was too content to survive, Zhao Di was left to eat and wait to die, Mei Ying lived a quiet and peaceful life, Hepburn lived a transparent life, and Margaret was in love. Brain, Qingqiu loves literature and him.

He doesn't understand the rest yet and has to look at it again.

"Just do whatever you like, and when it's time to settle down, we'll settle down for a few years."

Chen Xueru nodded after hearing this and suddenly asked: "Xiuzhu, after the wind blows, will I still have a chance to do business?"

Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "That's great, that's the spring for businessmen."

"At that time, everything was in ruins, and everything was in ruins waiting to be revitalized."

"Standing on that wind outlet, even a pig can fly into the sky and turn into a big fat pig."

Hearing this, Chen Xueru smiled and hammered Li Xiuzhu.

"Okay, you dare to say that I am a pig."

"I didn't, don't come over here, hiss... let go now, or you will be called daddy tonight."

At sunset, outside the courtyard, Li Xiuzhu and Chen Xueru unexpectedly met Lou Xiao'e and Zhou Rushui.

When Zhou Rushui saw the two of them, they immediately came over with Lou Xiao'e, and said in embarrassment: "Sister Xueru, I can't do this job anymore. I'd better go to work tomorrow."

"Sister, can you invite someone else?"

Chen Xueru was startled when she heard this, then smiled and said, "Oh, I understand this."

"It's my sister who was negligent. I just thought that you would make me feel at ease in this yard, and I forgot about your family's affairs."

"Okay, just as you say."

At this time Lou Xiao'e suddenly said: "Sister, she works in your factory, right?"

Zhou Rushui's expression changed when he heard this, thinking that Lou Xiao'e was going to sue, thinking that it was over and he would no longer be able to keep his job.

She felt sad and a little desperate in her heart. Why did the hemp rope only break at the thinnest places, and the bad luck only picked out the miserable people?

Doesn’t it mean that I don’t want to take care of her, so will I lose the job that I rely on to survive?

Chen Xueru stared at Lou Xiao'e with interest. She knew that her sister was a kind and good girl.

"Yes, what does Xiao'e want to say?"

Lou Xiao'e heard this and said, "She took me out to play today, and I had a lot of fun. Please give her a raise."

Zhou Rushui looked at Lou Xiao'e in astonishment when he heard this, not expecting Lou Xiao'e to say that at all.

Lou Xiao'e saw Zhou Rushui looking over and didn't want to meet her eyes, so she looked aside arrogantly.

Chen Xueru smiled when she heard this.

"Then what amount of increase do we, Xiao'e, think is appropriate?"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a while and said, "Let's go up by twenty."

January [-], two hundred and forty a year, it was all paid off in less than five years, and the rest was considered compensation for her father.

Chen Xueru smiled when she heard this.

"Okay, our Xiao'e has spoken, and I must give you this face."

"Rushui, tell Manager Wu tomorrow that I will transfer you to a team leader, and your salary will be increased by [-] a month."

Zhou Rushui hurriedly said as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Thank you, sister, thank you..."

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "You shouldn't thank me, you should thank our Xiao'e."

"No matter what Factory Director Lou does, our little Ezi is kind-hearted and a good girl."

Lou Xiao'e said arrogantly: "Don't thank me, I just saw that you took good care of me today, there is no other meaning."

Seeing Lou Xiao'e's tough mouth, Chen Xueru and Li Xiuzhu smiled, Zhou Rushui also smiled, and inexplicably felt that the sky had become clearer.

"Thank you."

Although Zhou Rushui thanked her, she, Lou Xiao'e, did not agree.

If she agreed to this thank you, she would feel embarrassed.

Chen Xueru smiled again and took her arrogant little sister home.

Before leaving, Li Xiuzhu also smiled and nodded at Zhou Rushui.

Zhou Rushui looked at Li Xiuzhu's back and said secretly, her little brother Li was still as amiable as ever.

Zhou Rushui smelled the stench in his home as soon as he arrived home.

But I'm used to it now. Men can't go to public toilets outside like this, so they can only make a bedpan at home. Although it has a cap, there is a faint smell because it is changed every day.

"Rushui, there are no painkillers at home. Buy me some painkillers quickly."

"Come on, I can't take it anymore."

Zhou Rushui was startled when he heard this. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Is it gone again? Didn't I just buy you thirty tablets?"

Although painkillers are not particularly expensive, they still cost thirty cents each. These thirty tablets are enough for one month that she has prepared.

"Oh, are you bothered? I can take just one pill to stop the pain."

"Now that I don't have two tablets a day, my head hurts."

"Hurry up, hurry up and go."

Zhou Rushui's good mood disappeared in an instant, and he said helplessly: "Then you have to endure it as long as you can. Painkillers are so expensive, I can't let you eat them."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and go buy it. I promise you, just hurry up and buy it."

Zhou Rushui fell silent, sighed inwardly and asked, "What about rice..."

"Will you die if you eat at the party? Go quickly."

Zhou Rushui turned around and left after hearing this. She didn't say that she and Lou Xiao'e had already eaten in the afternoon.

Walking in the alley at dusk, the spring breeze, which is not too cold, is particularly biting.

Suddenly, she stopped and raised her head to hold back the tears that were about to fall.

be strong.

After a while, Qin Huairu and Qin Zhaodi came back. There was no parking space here, so just stop occasionally.

Usually the cars are parked at Maoer Hutong, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk back from there.

As soon as the two entered the front yard, they were stopped by the Wang family's sister-in-law in the front yard.

"Qin Huairu, I heard that another girl comes to your family?"

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

"Sister-in-law Wang is talking about Wen Jing, right? Wen Jing passed away years ago, but she has been studying in other places and did not come back until after the new year when she entered middle school."

"Wen Jing and my sister Mei Ying lived in a silk shop for a while, and my brother also went there often."

"Not only the clerks in the store can testify to this, but also many vendors have seen Wen Jing. You can't talk nonsense."

Wang's sister-in-law heard this and hurriedly said: "Oh, I made a slip of the tongue. I heard Xueru mention this incident today, so I asked out of curiosity, but I didn't expect that I said the wrong thing."

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Be careful when you say this in the future. We have a marriage law. It doesn't matter if you make a slip of the tongue. Our family will be investigated by then."

"Although our family is not afraid of slanting shadows, we are not afraid."

"But upon investigation, this will definitely have an impact on our daily lives."

"We are all from the same hospital, don't make enemies over this anymore."

As he spoke, Qin Huairu looked at the women around him and continued: "I'm not only saying this to the Wang family's sister-in-law, but also to several other sisters-in-law."

"If Huairu says anything unpleasant, I will apologize to my sisters-in-law in advance. Please forgive me."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she took Qin Zhaodi back, leaving only the sisters-in-law looking at each other in the front yard.

"Listening to Qin Huairu's words, it seems that we may have really overthought it. There are witnesses."

"That's hard to say. The witnesses are all from their silk shop. Does this count?"

"Sister-in-law Li, you are just a servant. What I heard is that there are some vendors around."

"She, Chen Xueru, can make the people in the silk shop make false statements, and can she also make the surrounding vendors make false statements?"

"If she is really brave, someone will definitely report her."

At this time, the third aunt said: "If you ask me, what Chen Xueru said is true. Whether you believe it or not, my family believes it anyway."

"You don't have to tell this lie and bring someone home."

"Just tell me, if they don't take it here, they will live in that yard, how can any of you know?"

"If you ask me, this person has a clear conscience."

The third aunt man is a man of culture and can speak some interesting idioms.

The third aunt's words immediately dispelled everyone's last doubts. There was nothing wrong with what she said.

Qin Zhaodi, who walked to the backyard, looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Sister, you were so classy just now, a bit like our eldest sister."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "If you want to do this, you can go to the store to exercise more."

"This store is the most demanding. After staying here for a long time, you will get the taste for it."

"But I am learning from my eldest sister, who is really classy."

While talking, the two entered the house.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu cooking, Qin Huairu hurriedly ran into the house, put down her handbag and ran to Li Xiuzhu's side, saying apologetically: "Brother, let me do it. It's our fault for being late. We should have been waiting for you." Yes, I even asked you to take action."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "It's okay. I didn't get Xiao'e anything good when she came yesterday. Today I'll make her two favorite dishes."

Qin Huairu didn't leave either. She struck out and said, "But this is not a problem."

"In the past, Zhao Di could take care of my brother, but now Zhao Di is the driver, and Xiao'e is still young."

"How about I let you..."

"No, let Sister Hongru take care of you. I know you don't like me, Sister Hongru, but there must be someone to take care of you. It's also good to let her wash, cook and take care of you."

At first, she wanted to ask Jiang Meiying to come, but Jiang Meiying didn't look like she could wash clothes and cook.

And she knew that his brother would never let Sister Mei Ying wash clothes and cook.

At this time, Chen Xueru, who heard the commotion, came out and heard Qin Huairu's words, and said with certainty: "Huairu is right, we men must have someone to take care of us, but forget it about Hongru, your brother I am very discerning.”

"Tomorrow you bring your sister Xia here to take care of your brother."

Qin Huairu and Qin Zhaodi, who just came in, are confused. Others don't understand, how can they not understand? Her sister is... too cruel!
  "Xiuzhu, you can teach Sister Xia how to cook later."

"Well... just teach her how you taught Huairu."

Qin Huairu's face turned red when she heard this, and the memory of her brother teaching her how to cook gradually became clearer.

Is this really what you teach? Wasn’t it true that it was a lie?

Li Xiuzhu was also numb and looked at Chen Xueru without speaking.

Chen Xueru shook her head in a funny way and said, "Okay, I won't embarrass you for now. If not, you can just buy and eat."

"By the way, let's sleep in the yard over there tomorrow. There are always a few houses in the yard here, so it's inconvenient."

"Tomorrow we will hold an internal induction banquet for Xiao'e there, just our family."

"You must let Xiao'e fully recognize your sister and sisters."

As she spoke, Chen Xueru ordered Qin Zhaodi: "Zhaodi, take your sister Mei Ying with you tomorrow. After picking up Qingqiu, bring back Wenjing as well."

"Okay, ma'am."

Li Xiuzhu had no objection to this. Chen Xueru was right. Lou Xiao'e had to let Lou Xiao'e recognize all the sisters in the family, otherwise she would make a fool of herself when she went out.

Early the next morning, Lou Xiao'e woke up with Li Xiuzhu in her arms. Looking at her brother, she couldn't help but kiss him.

Li Xiuzhu opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Xiao'ezi, you are really good at sleeping. Come on, I will take you to lunch."

Li Xiuzhu had gone back to sleep. He had breakfast and lay down again.

It's not really sleep, it's just a fall asleep, thinking about all kinds of wild things in my mind.

So as soon as Lou Xiao'e woke up, he 'woke up'.

Lou Xiao'e asked curiously: "Brother, where are we going to eat?"

"How about I take you to try our shabu-shabu tripe in Sijiucheng? Or the mutton shabu-shabu at Dong Lai Shun Lai Dun."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Eat Paodu. I've never had Paodu. I wanted to eat it before, but my dad wouldn't let me. He said it was for the lower third class."

"Your dad is really right about that, but there is no distinction between good and bad food, as long as it tastes good."

"This fried beef and sheep tripe is more delicious than stir-fried pork."

"The belly is cooked just right and is crunchy. When paired with dipping sauce, it will be so fragrant that it will enchant you."

"But since your dad doesn't like it, don't let it slip."

Lou Xiao'e laughed when she heard this and said, "Brother, don't be afraid of her. I'm married and he can't control me anymore."

"Mr. Higashikata taught me to obey my father at home and my husband when I get married. I will only listen to you from now on."

"Uh? Don't you listen to your sister Xueru?" Li Xiuzhu looked at Lou Xiao'e with a smile, wondering how Lou Xiao'e would explain.

Lou Xiao'e was speechless for a moment, and she really didn't know how to answer.

"Brother, if you bully me, I will sue my sister."

"Oh, if you can't say it, just file a complaint, right?"

Li Xiuzhu just teased her and let the little girl go.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go. If you go late, there will be no place."
