Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 451 You Are the Only Smart Person

"Okay! Just know what's going on in your mind!"

Seeing Li Guoqiang's attitude, Li Dawei moved his lips slightly, but finally gave up trying to persuade him.

At worst, if someone dares to make trouble behind his back, he will just go to their door with a knife and beat them until they dare not say anything.

For him, nothing is more important than the large number of members of their Li family.

Even if he were to die now, he would still have the nerve to meet Li Guoqiang's biological mother.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on his nine grandchildren, his heart filled with pride and honor.

Once upon a time, he was still worried about whether he could support Li Guoqiang. Unexpectedly, less than two years later, their Li family had nine grandchildren.

If they can successfully raise them to adulthood, then their Li family will be completely prosperous.

At this time, Li Guoqiang didn't know what Li Dawei was planning. When he saw that Li Dawei didn't bother about this matter anymore, he immediately felt relieved.

Since he had no way to explain to Li Dawei the matter of the small world on his person, naturally he had no way to explain why he was so confident.

In addition, there are still nearly ten years before the reform and opening up. In such a long period of time, anything can happen. No matter how much we say now, it will be meaningless.

Fortunately, he not only has the old man's endorsement, but also the entire Jinshan Fort as a backing, and is about to expand his influence to the entire Chang County.

With so many peasant brothers as his backers, no one can touch him as long as he doesn't have substantial evidence.

Otherwise, it would be going against the farmers in the entire Chang County.

Otherwise, why would he be so nice to the villagers of Jinshanbao?

As the saying goes, everything starts and ends with fate, and everything has its own destiny.

In other words, many things in this world have prices already marked on the back.

What he wanted was for himself and his family to live a more comfortable life.

While he and Li Dawei were chatting about the situation at home, in the yard and in the factory in recent months, on the other side, the third aunt saw Yan Bugui coming back with a small piece of bacon, but there was no happy expression on his face, and she couldn't help feeling strange.

If it had been in the past, Yan Bugui would have boasted to her all night long about being able to exchange a few small fish for such a large piece of bacon. Why did he show no interest this time?
She tried to hold it back, but in the end she couldn't help but move forward and asked, "Hey, Dad, what's wrong with you today?"

"Ugh!"

When Yan Bugui heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said with emotion: "Do you know why Qiangzi wanted to exchange fish with me? It's because his wife gave birth to three sons at once!"

"Ah? She gave birth? And she gave birth to three sons?"

When the three aunts heard the news, they were stunned.

In fact, before this, Yao Meilan had often told people in the hospital that Luo Huijuan was pregnant with a triple-sex baby, but most people in the hospital treated it as a joke and did not believe it was true at all.

Not to mention that there are three sons.

As she thought about it, the third aunt realized that she had endured four or five years to give birth to three sons for the Yan family, but Luo Huijuan had achieved her goal with just one child. She felt really bad.

What made her even more jealous was that her husband Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li had been married for so many years but had yet to give birth to a child for the Yan family, and they were even getting divorced.

In comparison, Li Guoqiang and Luo Huijuan really brought honor to the Li family.

Just when she was thinking about going to have a good talk with Yu Li another day to see if she could persuade Yu Li to come back, Yan Bugui's voice with a hint of bitterness came to her ears again.

"It's nothing to say that Qiangzi's wife gave birth to three sons, but do you know? Those girls who work in Xiangmizhai and live in our courtyard all gave birth to a son.

Others may not know what their relationship with Qiangzi is, but how could we not know?

This means that Qiangzi gave birth to nine sons this time!"

After saying that, Yan Bugui excitedly stretched out his hands and gestured, with an uncontrollable look of jealousy on his face.

I don’t know whether he was jealous of Li Guoqiang for having so many sons, or jealous of Li Guoqiang for having so many young and beautiful concubines.

After hearing this, the third aunt was stunned for a moment.

No matter how she thought about it, she never expected this result.

Although she was not 100% sure that the child born by Shang Xiuzhen and Pan Qiaoyan was Li Guoqiang's, as long as there was a 1% possibility, it was enough to make her feel as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a piece of shit.

Originally, they were all ordinary civilians and lived a similar life. In fact, when it came to having sons, the Yan family was far better than the Li family.

However, no one expected that in just two short years, the Li family had completely changed.

Not to mention the enviable titles that Li Guoqiang holds, the mere fact that he can make so many beautiful girls willingly become his concubines and give birth to so many sons is enough to make people envious and jealous.

Thinking of this, the third aunt's eyes turned red, and then she said with anger on her face: "His father, why don't we go to the street and tell the matter, and see how proud the Li family can be?"

"You are crazy!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui was slightly stunned, then quickly began to reprimand: "Don't you know that he is an outstanding representative? And you forgot that he not only has an uncle who is the deputy district chief, but also a cousin who is the director of the district committee.

It can be said that in this East District, people can do whatever they want.

If people knew that we were stabbing them in the back, would our family still be able to live here?"

"This"

After hearing this, the third aunt suddenly broke out in cold sweat on her forehead.

Although she was not well educated, she was able to clearly understand the importance of a deputy district mayor and a district committee director.

Fortunately, she did not do this privately, otherwise, if people really knew about it, their family would really have to run away.

"okay!"

Seeing that the third aunt had understood the seriousness of the matter, Yan Bugui's expression eased a little, then he waved his hand unhappily and said, "Don't think that you are the only smart person in this yard. Do you think that others can't understand what we can see?
The reason why no one said anything is because the Li family is not easy to mess with now!

What's more, how are you going to tell people when you go to the street?
Do you mean you saw it with your own eyes? Or do you have any evidence?
Don’t forget, they have the marriage certificate!

If you really want to tell this story, do you think people will believe the marriage certificate? Or will they believe your nonsense? "

After hearing this, the three aunts felt a little disappointed, and at the same time they realized how unreliable their previous suggestion was.

However, when she thought about the fact that Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others had given birth to nine sons for Li Guoqiang, she couldn't calm down. She asked unwillingly, "His father, are we just going to watch like this?"

"No!" Yan Bugui shook his head immediately after hearing this, and then said thoughtfully: "Although we can't stab them in the back, it's okay to get some benefits in person."

"benefit?"

The third aunt was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly asked: "What's the benefit?"

"This is it!"

Yan Bugui hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly: "I guess it's either a sumptuous banquet or a pound of eggs!"

"That's fine!"

When the third aunt heard this, her eyes lit up slightly, then she nodded and spoke.

In her opinion, since she couldn't avoid making herself uncomfortable, it would be good to take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits.

Moreover, compared to a pound of eggs, she was more looking forward to the Li family treating them to a sumptuous banquet. In that case, not only could they have a big meal, but they could also get a lot of leftovers to eat slowly.

Thinking of the meals she had eaten at Old Li's house before, her mouth was watering, and she quickly suggested, "Dad, why don't you go and test the waters first? If they really want to have a wedding banquet, then I don't have to go buy food."

"Row!"

When Yan Bugui heard this proposal, he nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Then I will go talk to Lao Li tomorrow."

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly continued, "By the way, after dinner, when you go to the middle courtyard to wash the dishes, you can tell the people in the courtyard about the addition of a new member to the Li family, and mention that the Li family may be hosting a banquet to invite everyone to dinner."

"to make!"

When the third aunt heard Yan Bugui's explanation, she immediately understood his plan, nodded hurriedly, agreed, and hurried to the kitchen to prepare food.

Soon, she brought out a plate of pickles, a dish of cold vegetables, and a small bowl of cornmeal porridge.

Seeing these simple meals, Yan Bugui was not surprised at all. Instead, he asked with some dissatisfaction: "There are only two of us eating at home now, why do you prepare so many dishes? Don't you plan to live like this?"

"Whoa!"

Upon hearing this, the third aunt waved her hands and explained, "I saw you were going fishing outside the city today, so I made an extra dish so you can eat more to replenish your strength!"

"okay!"

When Yan Bugui heard this, he not only did not appreciate it, but he also said angrily: "I didn't catch any big fish, why should I exert myself? Hurry up and bring the bowls and chopsticks up, so that you can eat and wash the dishes."

"Go, go, go!"

Seeing Yan Bugui's expression, the third aunt could only agree reluctantly.

Fortunately, she didn't think of cutting some of the bacon to cook, otherwise, she would probably be scolded by Yan Bugui for being a spendthrift.

In fact, sometimes she would wonder: her family is not that poor, so why should she calculate so much?
But every time she thought about it, she couldn't come up with the answer.

Moreover, people of her generation tend to have the fine tradition of marrying a chicken, following the chicken; marrying a dog, following the dog.

Since Yan Bugui is such a person, she naturally has to follow him.

Soon, she brought up the dishes and had dinner with Yan Bugui. Then she cleaned up the dishes very neatly and took them to the sink in the middle courtyard to wash them.

At this time, the neighbors in the yard had finished their dinner one after another, so the pool was already crowded with people.

If it were any other time, the third aunt would have to squeeze over to get some rice washing water to wash the dishes, but now, she simply put the dishes aside, then moved closer to the second aunt, lowered her voice, and spoke in a mysterious tone:
"Hey, his second aunt, did you know? Qiangzi's wife gave birth!"

"gave birth?"

When the second aunt heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said casually, "According to the date, she should have given birth a long time ago."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and quickly asked, "By the way, was it a boy or a girl? Could it be that she really gave birth to three big fat boys?"

"Congratulations on guessing it right!"

The third aunt nodded, then laughed and said, "She gave birth to three big fat boys!"

"This"

When the second aunt heard this answer, the expression on her face instantly changed as if she had eaten a piece of shit.

When the three aunts saw this, they immediately felt much more comfortable.

After all, in this courtyard, when it comes to the ability to give birth to sons, apart from her, only the second aunt can catch up with her.

However, she did give birth to one more daughter than the second aunt, so she felt that she was more capable than the second aunt.

However, now that she has met a great person like Luo Huijuan who gave birth to three sons in one pregnancy, her pride is not worth mentioning.

Similarly, this principle also applies to the second aunt.

From then on, neither she nor the second aunt could brag to others about giving birth to a third son.

Since everyone is the same, she will naturally feel better.

And
"Oh, his second aunt, there is one more thing I forgot to mention. This time, not only did Qiangzi's wife give birth to three sons, but the girls who work at Xiangmi Zhai also gave birth to sons.

Tell me, why didn’t we encounter such a good thing? "

After saying this, the third aunt revealed a look of indignation, half pretending and half genuine.

"What? You said they all gave birth to sons?"

When the second aunt heard this, her head suddenly buzzed and she was completely stunned.

If Luo Huijuan gave birth to three sons, she would have been more or less mentally prepared. At most, she would have been jealous of Yao Meilan's good fortune.

However, when she heard that Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others had also given birth to sons, she felt a little overwhelmed.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others should be Li Guoqiang's concubines.

Even if she wanted to give birth to children for Li Guoqiang, she should at least give birth to some daughters! How could she give birth to all sons?

Isn't this simply intended to make life difficult for the neighbors in the yard?
