Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 452 Yao Meilan's Plan
"Second Auntie, Second Auntie, are you okay?"

When the third aunt saw the second aunt suddenly standing there in a daze, motionless, she no longer had time to laugh secretly and asked hurriedly.

"Oh!"

Hearing this, the second aunt came back to her senses immediately, then hurriedly shook her head and said as if nothing had happened: "It's okay, I just suddenly thought of something."

After she finished speaking, she looked towards the third aunt, with a hint of displeasure flashing across her eyes.

In fact, as an old rival in the courtyard, she could always tell what the other party was planning as long as the third aunt raised her butt.

Just like this time, she certainly understood that the third aunt specifically told her about Li Guoqiang's wife and concubines giving birth to sons just to mess with her mentality and to disgust her.

Otherwise, why didn't Auntie look for anyone else but came to her first?

Isn’t it because in this courtyard, she and the third aunt were the only ones who gave birth to three sons each, and they are role models for many women?

At the same time, this is also one of the main reasons why their men can become the managers in the courtyard.

It’s a pity that from now on, they will have to stand aside in front of Luo Huijuan.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"correct!"

The third aunt was relieved to see that the second aunt was fine, and then pretended to be curious and said, "This time, the Li family has added three fat grandchildren at once. I wonder if they will set up a few tables in the yard to celebrate?"

"I think so!"

When Second Aunt heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she answered with some anticipation.

In her opinion, since it was inevitable that Luo Huijuan would snatch the title of champion in giving birth to a son, it would be nice if she could take this opportunity to have a good meal at Mr. Li's house.

However, as far as she knew, whether it was Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, they should have all finished their confinement. So would the Li family still hold a confinement banquet in the yard?
As she was thinking, she suddenly glanced at the third aunt and felt a little dazed.

No wonder Auntie was so anxious to tell her about this!

It turns out that coming here to disgust her was just a side job, the main reason was to have a big meal at Old Li's house!

However, because this matter was also beneficial to her, she did not intend to object. She just nodded and suggested: "How about I go back home and talk to our Lao Liu and ask him to ask Lao Li what he thinks?"

"Yeah!"

When the third aunt heard this, she nodded with a happy face and said, "Actually, I think so too. After all, the Li family is also our family. Now that they have such a big happy event, it is reasonable for us neighbors to ask about it, so that others will know and say that we have no neighborly friendship!
Besides, your Lao Liu is the second uncle in the courtyard, so he will definitely be better than our Lao Yan!"

After saying this, she gave the second aunt a flattering smile.

For her, as long as she can gain benefits, let alone selling a smile, even if it means she has to tear off her face and throw it on the ground, there is no reason to hesitate. Everything depends on whether the benefits are big enough.

The second aunt was also very pleased with the third aunt's flattery. She nodded and agreed immediately, "That's right. Compared with our Liu, your Old Yan is a little too petty. For such a big event, it is better for our Liu to come forward."

After saying that, she turned her head to look at the crowd gathered by the sink, hurriedly picked up her own washed dishes, turned around and hurried back to the backyard, ready to tell Liu Haizhong about this matter as soon as possible to avoid being overtaken by others.

If they could accomplish this, at least their family would be able to do a favor for the people in the courtyard.

Besides, this would also make their family look respectable, wouldn't it?

The third aunt looked at the second aunt who was in a hurry and couldn't help but curl her lips in disgust.

In fact, she never took Liu Haizhong and Second Aunt seriously from the beginning to the end, and just thought they were both idiots.

Normally, they are either always eager to show off and rush to the limelight, unable to even speak clearly and being used as a tool by others, or they vent their anger on their own children and beat them up as if they were enemies.

It's totally unlike their family, who only present facts and reason, and calculate everything clearly.

This time, the reason why she gave the opportunity to do favors to Liu Haizhong and Second Aunt was, on the one hand, because she wanted to disgust Second Aunt in person, and on the other hand, because she and Yan Bugui knew that Li Guoqiang was not the kind of soft persimmon that could be easily bullied.

If they went directly to Li Dawei and Li Guoqiang to discuss the wedding banquet, they would most likely return empty-handed.

So, instead of wasting time, it is better to let Liu Haizhong and Second Aunt be the first to take action.

If things are done, they can tell people that it was their family who had a good eye for talent and recommended Liu Haizhong and Second Aunt to do the job.

And if things cannot be done, they can also find out the reasons why the Li family refused, and then think of a targeted way to force the Li family to agree to hold the banquet and earn some favors from the people in the courtyard.

In short, no matter what, their family will not suffer any loss.

Thinking of this, Second Aunt couldn't help but reveal a smile that showed that everything was under control. Then she hurriedly came in front of the others, pretending to be mysterious, and revealed the matter.

Soon, due to her diligent promotion, most people in the courtyard knew the good news that the Li family had added a new baby, and they were also very tempted by the news that the Li family was going to hold a wedding banquet.

As for the fact that Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others also gave birth to sons, the third aunt did not say much about it, so as to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble in the end.

Just as she had successfully completed her task, washed the dishes, and was preparing to go home to tell Yan Bugui about the relevant situation, on the other side, Yao Meilan, with the help of Shang Xiuzhen and Pan Qiaoyan, quickly prepared a large table of delicious food, and then kept urging Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others to eat more.

Moreover, because she, as a mother-in-law, was unable to take care of her daughters-in-law during their confinement, she felt a little guilty, so she secretly thought that she must follow the rules of the city and cook some hard dishes every day so that her daughters-in-law could replenish their bodies.

In this way, when she is old, she will have the qualifications to ask her daughters-in-law to be filial to her.

In addition, she thought about how Luo Huijuan had to take care of three children alone, as well as Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, and there was no one around to help, so she couldn't help but think about retiring early.

If she retired from the factory, she could devote herself to helping Luo Huijuan, Pan Qiaoyan and others raise their child.

Moreover, she could give the job quota to Luo Guofu's wife Zhao Qiuyan, and solve the household registration problem for their child, which was a win-win situation.

The more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes became. Then she couldn't help but put down her bowl and chopsticks and suggested, "Hey, what do you think about me giving the job quota to Qiuyan?"

After these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Afterwards, Li Dawei first looked at Yao Meilan, then at Li Guoqiang, and asked softly, "Qiangzi, what do you think?"

"I think..." Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, then laughed and said, "As long as you and mom think it's okay, then it's okay!"

In fact, as early as after Luo Guofu married Zhao Qiuyan, he knew that Yao Meilan would give up her job to Zhao Qiuyan sooner or later.

But he didn't expect that Yao Meilan would bring it up so quickly.

After all, Zhao Qiuyan is not pregnant with Lao Luo's child yet. If she doesn't get pregnant in the future, wouldn't this job opportunity be wasted?
Yao Meilan naturally knew the answer to this question.

But since she has already brought it up, she must believe that Li Guoqiang can cure Luo Guofu's illness, and then let Zhao Qiuyan give birth to a big fat boy for the Luo family.

Moreover, even if she didn't consider Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan, she would have to spend more time helping to take care of her nine lovely grandchildren.

Otherwise, with her status as a stepmother, she would not be able to make these obedient grandchildren be filial to her in the future!

"What about you? What do you think?"

When Li Dawei heard what Li Guoqiang said, he pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others, and then asked.

"I think you just need to discuss this with mom!"

When Luo Huijuan heard this, she immediately responded.

Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others also spoke up to express that they had no objections.

Anyway, for them, they don't need to rely on Yao Meilan's salary to make a living, and they don't need Yao Meilan to give up her job to them, so they naturally don't have any objections.

What's more, they could also guess that part of the reason why Yao Meilan gave the job to Zhao Qiuyan was to help them take care of the children.

In this case, they would welcome it immediately, so how could they oppose it?
"Row!"

Li Dawei saw that his daughters-in-law, including Luo Huijuan and Shang Xiuzhen, had no objections, so he naturally would not be the bad guy. He immediately nodded and said, "In that case, then the child's mother, you should take some time out these few days to discuss it with Xiaofu and Qiuyan.

If they think it's okay, then you can apply for sick leave from the factory and give the job to Qiuyan!"

"to make!"

When Yao Meilan heard this, she immediately agreed with a happy face: "Then I will make time to go there in the next two days!"

After she finished speaking, before she could figure out whether she should take the opportunity to make some rules with Zhao Qiuyan, she heard a loud cry in her ears.

This immediately brought her back to her senses from her joy, and she hurriedly waved to Luo Huijuan and others, signaling them to continue eating, then hurriedly got up and went into the inner room to look after the children.

When Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others saw this scene, they immediately felt a lot more relaxed and hurriedly sped up their eating.

Not long after, they finished eating, and then some of them got up to help take care of the children, while others went to the kitchen to boil water to prepare to wipe the children's bodies.

By the time the work was done, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

At this time, most of the neighbors in the yard had fallen asleep.

Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others each took their children back to the houses where they had lived before.

During this time, the noise they made was successfully heard by some people who were paying attention, and then caused waves of whispers.

Among them, at Qin Huairu's home, Jia Zhang couldn't help but curse as she spoke.

"What kind of luck did the Li family have that allowed them to give birth to three big fat boys in one pregnancy?

What's even more infuriating is those shameless bitches who said they had men outside, but in fact, everyone knows that they are all the women of Li Guoqiang's grandson.

Who are you pretending for, all day long?
If there was no evidence of their adultery, I would have wanted to have them arrested and thrown into a pig cage."

Speaking of this, Jia Zhang's face was full of jealousy, as if she wanted to kill Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others.

She worked hard for most of her life, and in the end she only had a precious grandson like Banggeng, while Li Guoqiang just went to the countryside. How could he allow so many women to give birth to so many big fat boys for the Li family?
"mom!"

Seeing that Jia Zhang was getting more and more excited and her voice was getting louder and louder, Qin Huairu hurriedly advised: "I think you should say less! If someone hears this, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause!

Don’t forget that behind the Li family now stands a deputy district chief and a district committee director! "

"I"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was immediately speechless, and a hint of fear appeared on her face.

Since ancient times, even a three-year-old child can understand the principle of not fighting with power. How could she not know that the Li family is not easy to mess with now?
But precisely because of this, she has such a strong opinion about the Li family.

Originally, they were all common people, and she even had a precious grandson who could overshadow the Li family. But now, the Li family not only has two big backers, but also has so many grandsons.

No matter who it is, no one can bear it!

Thinking of this, she glanced at Qin Huairu fiercely, and then scolded her with dissatisfaction: "It's all your fault. You gave birth to three children, and two of them are money-losing."

"I"

When Qin Huairu heard this, she immediately felt aggrieved.

After all, the suffering she endured was the same whether she gave birth to a son or a daughter.

Moreover, compared to Jia Zhang who only gave birth to one son, she also gave birth to two more daughters. Even if she had no merit, she had worked hard, right?

"What are you?"

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu's expression, her face suddenly darkened, and she said sternly, "I'm telling you, you'd better find a way to get Banggeng back from the countryside, so that he can get married and have children as soon as possible, and help our Jia family expand.

If you delay for too long and something happens to him, I will never forgive you even if I die!"

After saying that, she turned around and lay down to sleep, leaving Qin Huairu sitting there in a daze.
