Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 527 She Was the First to Arrive
"Sister Li, Sister Li!"

"Hey! Here we come!"

In the back room of the courtyard, Yu Li was lying on the bed sleeping. Suddenly she heard a shout from outside the house. She was stunned for a moment, then she reacted suddenly and quickly got up and answered.

Since she had already asked for a day off from the factory, she did not go out after moving her luggage back to the courtyard at noon. She just kept tidying up in the house and took a nap.

When she woke up, she was about to cook something to eat, but suddenly she realized there was nothing to eat in the house.

The only thing I can eat is my baby’s milk powder.

Of course, she didn't dare to cheat on him.

But if she were asked to go out to eat, she was worried that she would run into someone from the Yan family.

If any conflict occurs at that time, she will inevitably suffer losses because she is alone and weak.

Helplessly, she could only endure the hunger and fell asleep again until she was awakened by the noise outside the house.

Soon, she put on her coat, shoes, and walked out. Then she saw Luo Huijuan standing at the door, which made her feel a little nervous for a moment.

"Sister Li, have you settled everything?"

Seeing that Yu Li seemed a little nervous, Luo Huijuan felt a little happy in her heart, and then hurriedly asked in a soft voice.

"Well, everything is settled!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Li nodded quickly and answered.

"That's good. Let's go. The meal is ready. Come with me to eat!"

Luo Huijuan smiled slightly, then walked forward and gently took Yu Li's arm, her attitude was very friendly.

When Yu Li heard about eating, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and then obediently followed Luo Huijuan to the front yard.

On the way, some neighbors saw them walking hand in hand, and their eyes were full of suspicion. They didn't understand when their relationship became so good?
Especially some people with more active minds, their eyes revealed a meaningful look, as if they had guessed the situation.

However, in front of the hostess Luo Huijuan, even though no one could guess that the relationship between Yu Li and Li Guoqiang was a little unclear, no one dared to say anything.

Even if someone dared to go out and tell people outside, no one outside would believe it was true.

After all, this is a new society, and women are able to hold up half the sky. Who would be so generous as to allow their men to find wives?

Not to mention someone like Luo Huijuan who takes the initiative to win over the wives.

To put it bluntly, under such a situation, even if someone came to investigate, as long as Luo Huijuan insisted that Yu Li, Shang Xiuzhen and others were her good sisters, then no one would be able to do anything to Li Guoqiang unless they were caught in the act.

This is one of the main reasons why no one dared to bring this up for such a long time.

In fact, whenever they thought of this, the people in the courtyard, especially the men, could not help but feel envious and jealous.

Not long after, Luo Huijuan, Yu Li and others walked to the front yard amid all kinds of gazes from people in the yard, and happened to meet Yan Bugui who was out for a stroll after dinner.

"Hey! Uncle, have you eaten?"

"I ate it. What are you doing?"

Yan Bugui looked at Luo Huijuan, then at Yu Li, then forced a smile and asked.

"Oh, it's because the child at home is too difficult to take care of! I asked Sister Li to help take care of the child, and she can also share the meals at my house, just like Qiaoyan and Zhaodi."

When Luo Huijuan heard this, she raised her eyebrows and then explained seriously.

"That's very good!"

When Yan Bugui heard what Luo Huijuan said, especially the last sentence, his face almost collapsed.

Fortunately, he had not been in the business for so many years in vain, and he finally controlled his anger, forced a smile, and spoke with praise.

"Well, Uncle Third, we are in a hurry to go back for dinner! Let's talk next time when we are free!"

When Luo Huijuan saw Yan Bugui's reaction, she instantly understood what was going on. She had no interest in saying anything more and just said goodbye.

After saying that, she didn't even care about Yan Bugui's reaction and immediately pulled Yu Li away.

It wasn't until they walked out of the hanging flower gate and entered the courtyard of Old Li's house that Yan Bugui finally reacted and his face suddenly became very gloomy.

Originally, he was only 60 to 70 percent sure that Yu Li and Li Guoqiang had an unusual relationship. But after Luo Huijuan said this to him in person, his certainty instantly increased to 100 percent.

However, even so, he had no way out.

Who made their Yan Jiecheng behave badly in the first place?
Besides, these words were said by the hostess, Luo Huijuan, so what reason did he have to question them?
What's more, even if he could make the truth public, it would only make their family more embarrassed and Yan Jiecheng more depressed. There would be no benefit at all.

Therefore, the best way is to pretend that you don’t know first, and then vent your anger when you have the chance.

At this time, Yu Li had no idea what her ex-father-in-law was thinking. After she followed Luo Huijuan into the courtyard of Old Li's house, she instantly smelled the aroma of meat in the air, which made her swallow her saliva several times involuntarily.

You know, whether she was living in Old Yan's house before or staying in Xiangmi Zhai later, she had no chance to eat meat.

Although she could often smell meat in the kitchen of Xiangmi Zhai, her relationship with Li Guoqiang was still kept secret at that time. Luo Huijuan didn't want to leave the meat for her, and she didn't dare to ask for it.

Now, her relationship with Li Guoqiang has finally been recognized by the hostess Luo Huijuan.

When she thought about the future when she would be able to eat meat every day like Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, she couldn't help feeling excited.

However, she soon thought of something, and hurriedly grabbed Luo Huijuan's hand, lowered her voice and asked, "Um, Juanzi, I'm coming over to your house for dinner, my parents won't be angry, right?"

"Ah!"

When Luo Huijuan heard Yu Li addressing Li Dawei and Yao Meilan, she felt a little happy. She patted Yu Li's hand gently, smiled and said comfortingly: "Don't worry! Mom and Dad are very open-minded. You just need to follow Xiuzhen and Qiaoyan and learn from them. Don't worry about other things."

"Okay! I got it then!"

When Yu Li heard this, she instantly felt relieved, then nodded obediently and agreed.

Then, without waiting for her to prepare herself mentally, Luo Huijuan pulled her, opened the door and walked into the house. Then she saw more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at her, which made her heart rise to her throat.

Then, just when she didn't know what to do, Luo Huijuan pulled her to the end of the table and pressed her down on the chair.

Seeing this situation, Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others all showed a knowing smile, while the old couple Li Dawei and Yao Meilan looked at each other and then showed a slightly helpless look.

If possible, they really don't want Li Guoqiang to have any special relationship with Yu Li.

But now the matter is done, and Li Guoqiang's ideas have always been positive, so even if they want to intervene, they can't, and can only accept it.

"Sister Li, don't be polite, just treat this place as your own home."

At this time, Luo Huijuan, who had already sat down next to Li Guoqiang, first looked at the faces of Li Dawei and Yao Meilan, then greeted them while picking up the chopsticks and picking up a piece of braised pork for Yu Li.

"Yes! Sister Li, we are already so familiar with each other, please don't be so formal!" "Come, Sister Li, try this West Lake vinegar fish, it's my specialty!"

"Oh, and here's this chicken stewed with mushrooms. I learned how to make it from Aunt Yinfeng in the countryside. Do you want to try it and see if you like it?"

"Sister Li, do you want to drink? If you do, I'll pour you a glass!"

"."

Luo Huijuan's words were like a starting gun, directly attracting Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, who spoke passionately one sentence after another.

Hearing these words and looking at the dishes that were almost full in the bowl, Yu Li couldn't help but feel touched. She quickly opened her mouth and kept thanking them: "Thank you, thank you everyone."

"Alright! Let's eat!"

At this time, Li Guoqiang suddenly interrupted Yu Li, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others saw this and immediately shut their mouths and picked up their food quietly.

Yu Li first glanced at Li Guoqiang, and then did not dare to say anything. She just picked up the chopsticks obediently and stuffed a piece of soft, glutinous and fragrant braised pork in the bowl into her mouth.

The next moment, her eyes widened slightly, as if she was stunned by the deliciousness of the braised pork.

Soon, she was completely immersed in the delicious meals, and her movements and expressions became much more natural.

Just as she was enjoying her meal, Zhao Qiuyan, who was sitting next to her, suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Luo Guofu, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice:
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why don't you eat?"

"It's okay, I just suddenly have no appetite, don't worry about me, just eat quickly!"

Hearing this, Luo Guofu turned his head to look at Zhao Qiuyan, then forced a smile and spoke.

After saying that, he glanced at Yu Li out of the corner of his eye, his heart full of bitterness.

Although he has now made up his mind to mend his ways, he still feels a little uncomfortable seeing that Li Guoqiang has given him another plump and charming sister-in-law.

This made him feel like a waste.

Fortunately, after the previous lessons, he has realized the gap between himself and Li Guoqiang, so he will not have any other thoughts at this time.

Otherwise, the disappointment in his heart alone would be enough to make him very angry.

Just as he was wondering how Li Guoqiang did all this, Qin Jingru, who was sitting opposite him, also felt a little uncomfortable.

Although she knew about the relationship between Yu Li and Li Guoqiang very early, as the saying goes, if you don't change the amount, you will suffer from uneven distribution.

In the past, she and Yu Li were the same and could only eat meat secretly. But now, Yu Li not only got rid of the constraints of the old Yan family, but also walked into the door of the old Li family openly.

According to this situation, as long as Luo Huijuan nodded, Yu Li would soon be able to get pregnant and have the baby over her.

How could she accept this?
She was the one who arrived first, why should she be forced to wait in line at the back?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Li Guoqiang's face, then looked at Luo Huijuan, with a determined look on her face.

Soon, everyone finished their dinner, and then some were busy taking care of the children, some were busy cleaning up the dishes, some were busy fetching water from the middle courtyard, and some were busy making tea. Basically, no one was idle.

Among them, Qin Jingru stayed behind intentionally to take care of the child with Luo Huijuan and prepare to talk to Luo Huijuan about her pregnancy.

However, before she could say anything, Luo Huijuan grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, then smiled softly and said, "Aunt Jingru, I'm really sorry to bother you during this period of time."

"No, no, this is what I should do!"

When Qin Jingru heard this, she was slightly stunned, then quickly shook her head and spoke.

"Ok!"

When Luo Huijuan heard Qin Jingru say this, she raised a controlled smile, then moved forward and asked in a somewhat mischievous tone, "Just now when we were eating, I saw that you seemed to be a little worried. Can you tell me about it?"

"I"

Qin Jingru opened her mouth, wanting to confess to Luo Huijuan, but she swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.

After all, she is Luo Huijuan's elder, and it is more or less embarrassing to talk about her pregnancy in front of her.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, Luo Huijuan was delighted, then she laughed and said, "Actually, even if you don't say it, I can guess what you're thinking. Aren't you just worried that Sister Li will get there first when you see her coming?"

"Well, how did you figure that out?"

When Qin Jingru heard Luo Huijuan's words, she was slightly startled, and then asked with some embarrassment.

"In fact, Qiangzi told me this several months ago, but you never told me the truth, so I just pretended I didn't know!"

Luo Huijuan raised the corner of her mouth and spoke in a mischievous tone.

"How could you be so bad?"

Qin Jingru glared, then stared at Luo Huijuan with some anger and embarrassment.

"What? You are allowed to snatch my man, but I am not allowed to lose my temper?"

Upon seeing this, Luo Huijuan immediately glared back and then spoke in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

"this."

When Qin Jingru heard this, her face drooped instantly, and then she hesitated, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After all, no matter how you look at it, she was in the wrong.

"okay!"

Luo Huijuan looked at Qin Jingru's bewildered expression, straightened her face, and then said seriously: "I just said that, you don't have to take it to heart.

Besides, if I really wanted to argue with you, I wouldn't have asked you to come over to help take care of the kids before, don't you think that makes sense?"

"Yes, yes, Juanzi, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you in the future!"

When Qin Jingru heard Luo Huijuan say this, she was delighted, and then nodded quickly and made the promise.

After saying this, she looked at Luo Huijuan's dignified and beautiful face, and couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart.

Even though she is seven or eight years older than Luo Huijuan, when it comes to being broad-minded, even ten of her cannot match Luo Huijuan.

She really is worthy of being the Li family’s legitimate daughter-in-law!
