Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 489 I Just Recognized Him

"Hurry up, go back to sleep!"

"I do not!"

Faced with Li Guoqiang's urging, Zhu Caixia pouted her lips and then spoke stubbornly.

"Hey!"

Li Guoqiang immediately lost his temper when he saw Zhu Caixia like this, and said angrily: "You are really capable now! You don't even listen to what I say?"

As he said that, he walked over, reached out and grabbed Zhu Caixia's feet, trying to force her out.

However, the next moment he realized something was wrong and quickly let go.

When Zhu Caixia saw this, a look of disappointment instantly appeared on her face. She quickly turned her head to look at Xu Yuping beside her, her eyes revealing a look of help.

However, when Xu Yuping saw this, she not only had no intention of helping Zhu Caixia, but also signaled her with her eyes to stop messing around.

When Zhu Caixia saw this, she gritted her teeth secretly and wanted to take the initiative to lift the quilt.

At this time, Li Guoqiang seemed to see what Zhu Caixia was thinking. He immediately turned around and walked towards the outer room, and by the way, he did not forget to glare at Xu Yuping with some dissatisfaction.

When Xu Yuping saw Li Guoqiang's dissatisfied look, her heart suddenly tightened and she hurried towards Zhu Caixia.

When Zhu Caixia saw this, her hands suddenly froze and she collapsed with a look of frustration on her face.

"okay!"

Xu Yuping looked at the unwilling look on Zhu Caixia's face and couldn't help feeling a little distressed. She then quickly advised, "You'd better not make your brother Qiangzi angry again. When there's a chance in the future, Mom will think of another way for you."

After saying that, she took clothes from the kang cabinet next to her and asked Zhu Caixia to put them on.

Zhu Caixia had no intention of resisting this. Perhaps she had given up hope, or perhaps she believed what Xu Yuping said.

After a while, she put on her clothes and followed Xu Yuping out.

When she reached the yard, she suddenly stopped and looked around, as if looking for something.

Unfortunately, after looking around carefully, she didn't see the figure she wanted to see.

"Let's go!"

Seeing this, Xu Yuping sighed secretly in her heart, and then urged softly: "I'll take you back to bed first, and we can talk about anything after you wake up."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Caixia nodded silently and agreed, then followed Xu Yuping to the next room.

After they left, Li Guoqiang walked out of the bathhouse with a complicated look on his face.

It is undeniable that if he had just arrived at Jinshan Castle and faced this kind of situation, he might have taken the opportunity to accept the person.

However, after experiencing so many things and having so many close female friends, he no longer has any interest in such things.

What's more, he has become a father now.

If he put himself in Zhu Caixia's shoes, how could he just watch her ruin her life like this?

Although with his ability, he could give Zhu Caixia an extremely rich life and let her not worry about her livelihood, that was still shameful.

Moreover, he watched Zhu Caixia grow up, and he certainly hoped that Zhu Caixia could have a happy life of her own like other normal girls.

However, what he didn't expect was that Xu Yuping, as a mother, not only did not dissuade Zhu Caixia, but instead showed some indulgence and encouragement.

This made him feel a little surprised and also gave him a headache.

Just as he was thinking about how to have a good chat with Xu Yuping later, Xu Yuping quietly came back from the next room.

Then, before he could say anything, Xu Yuping took the initiative to say, "Qiangzi, that was my idea just now, so don't blame Xiaoxia, okay?"

"why?"

Li Guoqiang frowned, then asked in confusion: "Why did you do this? I told you very clearly before, why didn't you listen?

Besides, don't you want Xiaoxia to grow up happily like other little girls and live the life she likes?"

"Yes I do!"

Xu Yuping nodded, and then said seriously: "It's because I want her to be happy that I came up with this idea for her."

Li Guoqiang: “.”

"Hadron!"

Seeing that Li Guoqiang didn't say anything, Xu Yuping pursed her lips first, then said softly: "You know what? Xiaoxia feels that being with you is the happiest thing for her.

Besides, do you think that with her background, she will be able to find a better husband family than ours in the future?"

After these words were spoken, Li Guoqiang fell silent.

Because he knew that what Xu Yuping said was true.

Not to mention in recent years, even in a dozen years, I'm afraid you won't find a better family than theirs.

"I know!"

Xu Yuping gently grasped Li Guoqiang's hand, and then continued, "You are doing this for Xiaoxia's own good, but you also know her personality. Once she has made up her mind, it is difficult for her to change her mind.

Besides, I am almost forty years old now, and I will get old sooner or later.

So I also hope that she can stay with me forever, or even give birth to a child for me to help take care of.”

"Ugh!"

After hearing such sincere words, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Why are you doing this? Even if you get old, I will be with you, so don't think too much."

"Ok!"

After hearing this, Xu Yuping did not say anything, but just nodded silently and agreed, then leaned her head on Li Guoqiang's arm, quietly enjoying the peace of the moment.

When Li Guoqiang saw Xu Yuping's reaction, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

In fact, he also knows that many things cannot be changed by human power.

Even if he could use his superb medical skills and rare medicinal herbs to help Xu Yuping and others slow down the aging process, they would still grow old one day.

And because he has martial arts skills and his father Jin, who always reaps a hundredfold rewards for his hard work, he can live for at least a hundred or so years.

In other words, when he is in his sixties or seventies, he may still look like he is in his twenties or thirties.

By then, let alone whether he would be able to accompany Xu Yuping and others, I believe Xu Yuping and others would not be willing to stay with him.

In this regard, his original plan was to improve his skill of Disguise to a certain level, and then wait until Xu Yuping was old, and then disguise himself to look older to accompany her. Or, he could put Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen and others in the same place, and then set aside a few days every month to accompany them, so that they would not feel embarrassed because of the difference in appearance.

At the same time, this is also one of the main reasons why he doesn't want to get involved with more women.

If it's just a casual affair, then it's okay. You only need to consider the present and don't need to think about the future.

But it just so happens that his relationship with Xu Yuping has become that of a family, so it's so troublesome.

To put it bluntly, if he had the chance to start over again, he would definitely not accept Xu Yuping, Ma Shufen and others.

If he were to accept someone, he would only accept those who were about his age.

After a while, as a cool breeze blew, Xu Yuping shrank unconsciously, and then said softly: "It's getting late, let's go back to the house!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang nodded slightly in agreement, then went into the house with Xu Yuping.

As he was not in a good mood, he did not continue discussing the well-digging techniques with Ma Shufen, Zhu Caiyan and others, and simply lay down and fell asleep.

Upon seeing this, Ma Shufen, Zhu Caiyan and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Afterwards, they didn't say anything, but just exchanged glances with Xu Yuping silently, and then went to the west room together to avoid disturbing Li Guoqiang.

Among them, Zhu Caiyan was the most anxious. As soon as she entered the west room, before she even sat on the kang, she couldn't wait to ask, "Aunt, what's going on?"

"Yup!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Shufen immediately asked, "Everything was fine before, how come it has become like this now?"

"Ugh!"

Xu Yuping looked at Zhu Caiyan and Ma Shufen, then sighed and explained with some worry: "It's because Xiaoxia came some time ago and has grown up, so she can't wait."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Caiyan and Ma Shufen immediately showed a look of realization.

Then, they looked at each other and asked, "What do you think? Do you really want Xiaoxia to become like us?"

Although they are living quite well now, they still cannot face people.

Sometimes, even when facing relatives and friends, I have to endure other people's strange looks.

Maybe this is what people say, if you gain something, you must lose something!

Zhu Caixia is still young, and has Xu Yuping and Li Guoqiang as her support. She can grow up and get married normally like other girls. There is no need for her to live under worldly criticism all her life like them.

"I"

Xu Yuping opened her mouth, then said with some hesitation: "I don't know."

Originally, she wanted Zhu Caixia to stay so that she wouldn't have to worry about the pressure of life and she could always be by her side.

But whether it was Li Guoqiang's attitude or the opinions of Ma Shufen and Zhu Caiyan, they all made her doubt whether she had done something wrong?
"Sister Ping!"

Seeing Xu Yuping like this, Ma Shufen quickly reached out and patted her on the back, then said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, no matter what, we will be with you and support you."

"Correct!"

When Zhu Caiyan heard this, she nodded and agreed: "No matter what, we will support you."

After all, they are all from Jinshan Fort, and they are not in the same group as Shang Xiuzhen and others.

If we want to live a better life in the future and not be suppressed by Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, we must be more united.

Moreover, with Li Guoqiang's ability, having one more person can help relieve some of the pressure on them.

The only thing that worries them is that Zhu Caixia is still young and may easily change her mind in the future.

If you regret it at that time, it will be troublesome.

"okay!"

Xu Yuping was very pleased to see Ma Shufen and Zhu Caiyan supporting her so much, and then she waved her hands and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me.

Moreover, this matter is not something we can do as we please. The most important thing is what Qiangzi thinks.

If he doesn't want to, then no matter what we say, it will be useless and may even make him unhappy.

So during this period of time, you guys should stop interfering."

After saying that, she didn't even give Ma Shufen and Zhu Caiyan a chance to speak, and just stood up and walked out.

Ma Shufen and Zhu Caiyan looked at Xu Yuping's leaving back, their lips moved as if they wanted to say something.

However, before they could say anything, Xu Yuping's figure had disappeared behind the door curtain.

In the end, they could only sigh silently in their hearts, with a trace of sadness on their faces.

Originally they had been living a good life, and their relationship with Li Guoqiang had been quite stable. But now after Zhu Caixia's incident, they didn't know what kind of trouble would arise in the future.

Soon, it was early morning of the next day.

Perhaps because they had something on their minds, neither Ma Shufen and Zhu Caiyan, nor Xu Yuping and Zhu Caixia, did they get enough rest. After getting up, they all had dark circles under their eyes, which made Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani feel strange.

However, no matter how they asked, Ma Shufen, Xu Yuping and others did not tell the truth, but just said that they did not sleep well last night.

After dealing with Qu Yinfeng and Xu Dani's inquiries, Xu Yuping took Zhu Caixia to the small hillside behind the house while Li Guoqiang was still asleep. While picking vegetables, she spoke earnestly:
"Xiaoxia, in my opinion, why don't you just listen to your brother Qiangzi and stop pestering him. When you grow up, mom will pick a good family for you, okay?"

"no!"

When Zhu Caixia heard this, she immediately widened her eyes and shouted, "I have chosen him, no one can stop me!"

After saying that, she threw the basket in her hand to the ground.

"you"

Xu Yuping became angry when she saw the vegetables scattered on the ground. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhu Caixia's arm, picked up a few green onions and hit her on the butt.

While smoking, she cursed: "You have no conscience, I am doing this for your own good, right? It would be fine if you don't appreciate it, but you dare to lose your temper with me!"

Soon, she broke those green onions, and her anger subsided a little.

However, Zhu Caixia did not say a word when facing Xu Yuping's beating and scolding. Her face was full of stubbornness, as if she was silently protesting against Xu Yuping's brutality.

Seeing this, Xu Yuping frowned slightly, and then secretly felt a headache.

She didn't know if it was because her life was too good now, or because she, as a mother, had not set a good example, but she found that she seemed to have no way to deal with Zhu Caixia at all.

According to the current situation, if the matter is not resolved, she and Zhu Caixia will become enemies!
