Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 554 Resign yourself to fate
Soon after, Li Guoqiang seized the opportunity and used his teleportation ability to slip silently into the three back rooms in the backyard, almost giving Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, and Yu Li, who were waiting there, a big fright.

When they realized what was happening, they all rolled their eyes at him and turned their heads away, not daring to meet Li Guoqiang's gaze.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang was secretly pleased. He then slowly walked forward and sat down between them, his gaze sweeping over them as if he were admiring some treasure.

After a while, Qin Jingru couldn't contain herself any longer and urged impatiently, "Hey, how long are you going to keep watching?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu and Yu Li quickly glanced at Li Guoqiang, their expressions revealing a hint of nervousness.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang smiled slightly and then reached out and pulled him.

Before we knew it, it was already the early hours of the next day.

While Qin Huairu and the others were still fast asleep, Li Guoqiang had already quietly returned to his room.

Afterwards, he didn't intend to rest. He immediately slipped into the small space and spent the rest of the night with Liang Xianglian and Erniu.

As dawn broke, he climbed out of the soft bed, whispered a few words of advice to Liang Xianglian, Erniu, and Sanwazi, instructing them to prepare for their life in Hong Kong. Then he left the small room.

At this time, Yao Meilan and Li Dawei, who lived next door, had already woken up and, as usual, went to the kitchen to make dumplings for Li Guoqiang.

Since they couldn't buy fresh meat, they made chive and egg filling this time.

As an enticing aroma of eggs wafted out, Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan, who lived by the gatehouse, came out of their house to have breakfast with Li Guoqiang before taking him to the train station.

Standing at the door, Li Guoqiang watched Luo Guofu helping Zhao Qiuyan with great enthusiasm. A slight smile appeared on his lips, and he chuckled as he greeted them, "Xiao Fu, Xiao Yan, come here and come inside with me. While it's still early, I'll take a look at your pulse."

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan immediately nodded in agreement.

Before they knew it, several months had passed since Zhao Qiuyan became pregnant. Her slightly protruding belly was already visible, and her figure had become more voluptuous.

Li Guoqiang placed his fingers on Zhao Qiuyan's wrist, carefully sensing her pulse, then suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head, and glared at Luo Guofu.

Upon seeing this, Luo Guofu immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet Li Guoqiang's gaze, while Zhao Qiuyan's cheeks flushed slightly.

"What am I supposed to say to you? Your health has finally improved a little, and you're acting so recklessly again. Don't you really want to be a man anymore?"

When Li Guoqiang saw Luo Guofu's guilty look, he immediately became furious.

No matter how he thought about it, he never expected that Luo Guofu's condition had only just begun to improve, and he was already so eager to play with Zhao Qiuyan.

If this situation continues, not only him, but even if a god from heaven came, he wouldn't be able to do anything about Luo Guofu's illness.

Seeing how angry Li Guoqiang was, Luo Guoqiang pursed his lips and hurriedly explained, "Brother, don't be angry. I just... I just wanted to try it out."

Hearing this, Zhao Qiuyan saw that Li Guoqiang's anger had intensified, and her heart tightened. She quickly spoke up to explain, "Brother Qiangzi, don't blame Brother Fuzi. It's my fault. I was the one who asked him to try it."

"you"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhao Qiuyan with a slight surprise.

Upon seeing this, Luo Guofu quickly straightened his chest and said earnestly, "Brother, it has nothing to do with Qiuyan. I insisted on having it. It has nothing to do with her, so you can't blame her!"

"Row!"

Li Guoqiang glanced at Luo Guofu, who was taking care of his wife, and then at Zhao Qiuyan, who was taking care of her husband. He was so angry that he laughed. He nodded and said, "Since you two think it doesn't matter whether this disease can be cured or not, then I won't say anything. You two should take care of yourselves!"

After saying that, he tried to get up and leave.

"do not!"

Seeing this, Luo Guofu hurriedly got up and grabbed Li Guoqiang, then pleaded in a panic, "Brother, I know I was wrong, please don't refuse to treat me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but angrily shout, "Treat, treat, treat! Do you think treating your illness is easy? How can I treat you when you never listen to reason?"

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"

Faced with Li Guoqiang's anger, Luo Guofu dared not utter a word of rebuttal and could only keep admitting his mistakes.

In fact, this time it wasn't him being willful, but Zhao Qiuyan who made the first move.

Seeing this, Zhao Qiuyan couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

She never expected that just taking a bite out of curiosity would make Li Guoqiang so angry.

If she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldn't have stolen any food, even if she was craving it!
If Li Dawei and Yao Meilan found out that she was the one who caused Li Guoqiang to refuse to treat Luo Guofu, would she be able to live a good life from now on?

The more she thought about it, the more regretful she felt. She quickly stood up, grabbed Li Guoqiang's other arm, and pleaded, "Brother Qiang, it's all my fault. I didn't know his illness would be so serious. You absolutely can't not help him get treatment!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang frowned slightly, then questioned him bluntly, "You don't know? Do you think he himself wouldn't know?"

After saying that, he glared at Luo Guofu fiercely, his eyes filled with disappointment and frustration.

Although he wasn't Luo Guofu's biological brother, after spending so much time together, he had gradually come to regard Luo Guofu as his own younger brother.

Otherwise, how could he have tolerated Luo Guofu's outrageous behavior time and time again, and gone to great lengths to help him get medical treatment?

However, Luo Guofu's performance ultimately disappointed him greatly.

This also made him realize once again the truth that one cannot presume to forcibly change others.

"I"

Upon hearing Li Guoqiang's words, Zhao Qiuyan opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say. She could only look at Li Guoqiang with pleading eyes.

Upon hearing this, Luo Guofu didn't offer any explanation. He simply hung his head in regret, looking exactly like a gambler who had lost all his money.

"okay!"

Seeing Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan's reaction, Li Guoqiang's expression softened slightly. Then, he said earnestly, "You don't need to explain so much to me. I've already done and said everything I should. How you handle things is up to you."

If you think this disease is okay even without treatment, then do as you please.

If you feel this illness needs treatment, then continue taking the prescription I gave you before and see if there's still a chance of it being cured after taking it for a while!

After saying that, he gently shook off Luo Guofu and Zhao Qiuyan's hands, then quickly turned and walked out.

When Zhao Qiuyan saw this, she immediately wanted to take a step to chase after him, but Luo Guofu stopped her the next second.

"What are you doing? Aren't you coming with me to chase after them?"

"Forget it, it was my fault to begin with, and my brother has already made himself very clear, so let's not bother him anymore."

Luo Guofu waved his hand, his face full of frustration.

"Ugh!"

Seeing Luo Guofu's state, Zhao Qiuyan's expression changed drastically. In the end, she could only sigh and give up her plan to plead with Li Guoqiang again.

Not long after, after having breakfast with Li Dawei and Yao Meilan, Li Guoqiang did not ask Luo Guofu to see him off. Instead, he rode his bicycle with Qin Jingru, who had come over midway, to Xiangmizhai.

He then carefully instructed Xu Yusheng and the others on some things they should pay attention to next, and then used teleportation to rush to the train station.

By the time the sun had peeked over the horizon, he had successfully boarded the train and left Beijing.

In fact, by taking Zhao Qiuyan's pulse, he not only discovered the good deeds Luo Guofu had done, but also that Zhao Qiuyan was carrying twin girls.

That's why he was so angry about Luo Guofu's lack of self-respect.

It's important to know that both Yao Meilan and Luo Jiwu's greatest wish was to see Luo Guofu carry on the Luo family line.

If Zhao Qiuyan gives birth to the child and Luo Guofu still hasn't cured his illness, then Yao Meilan and Luo Jiwu will only be anxious and depressed about it.

Li Guoqiang could disregard Luo Jiwu's feelings, but he couldn't ignore Yao Meilan's.

Now, the only way is to see if Luo Guofu can listen to what he said before, continue to take the Chinese medicine prescription he helped him prescribe, and maintain a clean lifestyle.

Otherwise, we can only leave it to fate.

Just as he put the matter aside and began to build some wooden houses for the beekeeping research institute in his small space, so that he could set up the framework of the beekeeping research institute before moving to Hong Kong.

In the courtyard, after much deliberation, Zhao Qiuyan finally decided to secretly confess to Yao Meilan to avoid Yao Meilan blaming her for everything later.

Upon hearing this, Yao Meilan was immediately enraged. She rushed over to Luo Guofu, who was about to go to work, grabbed his ear, and shouted angrily, "You little brat, are you really trying to drive me to my death?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Guofu was slightly taken aback. Then, seeing Zhao Qiuyan following behind Yao Meilan, he immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly begged for forgiveness, "Mom, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this time!"

"Get lost! That's what you always say, but when have you ever actually changed? I think you just need to be taught a lesson!"

When Yao Meilan heard Luo Guofu say the same thing, she became even angrier instead of calming down. She twisted Luo Guofu's ear 180 degrees, making him wince in pain.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Mom, let go! My ear is going to fall off!"

"Pain? You actually know what pain is? I wish you were dead from the pain!"

Looking at Luo Guofu's pained expression, Yao Meilan felt a pang of pity, then angrily cursed him.

After she finished scolding him, she couldn't bring herself to hit him any harder and let go of his hand.

"Sigh~"

Luo Guofu gasped for breath, rubbed his ears, and then, with his head drooping, said in a muffled voice, "Mom, I really know I was wrong. Please don't be angry anymore, okay? Please don't let me upset you."

"You! How can you be so insensible? Do you really want to be laughed at for the rest of your life?"

Looking at her biological son, Yao Meilan felt increasingly weary and exasperated. She then questioned him with a sense of disappointment.

Upon hearing her words, a look of regret immediately flashed across Luo Guofu's face. It was unclear whether he regretted this particular incident or his past misdeeds.

Seeing this, Yao Meilan's heart softened, and she waved her hand and said, "Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful with me. If you really know you're wrong, then listen to your brother and try your best to get your illness cured."

I believe that if you could just be a little more ambitious, your brother wouldn't abandon you.

Also, to prevent you from making the same mistake again, starting tonight, you and Qiuyan will live separately.

After speaking, she turned to look at Zhao Qiuyan, her gaze questioning.

Seeing this, Zhao Qiuyan quickly nodded and agreed, "Mom, I'll listen to you."

"Ok!"

Upon hearing Zhao Qiuyan's reply, Yao Meilan's expression softened. She then glared fiercely at Luo Guofu before waving her hand, signaling that he could go to work.

Upon seeing this, Luo Guofu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but thinking of his incorrigible dark history, he ultimately didn't dare to say anything more and simply pushed his bicycle away from the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, Yao Meilan also rode her tricycle and personally took Zhao Qiuyan to the textile factory.

Now that things have come to this, she has basically given up hope that Luo Guofu can be cured. The only thing she can hope for is that Zhao Qiuyan can give birth to a healthy baby boy for the Luo family and carry on the family line.

In addition, she is currently unemployed and does not need to help Li Guoqiang take care of his children, so she has plenty of time and energy to take good care of Zhao Qiuyan.

The only thing that worried her was what was inside Zhao Qiuyan's belly.
Two days passed quickly.

On the third day at noon, Li Guoqiang took the train and returned to Changxian County smoothly. As soon as he came out of the train station, he hailed a donkey cart on the street and rushed back to Jinshanbao without stopping.

When he returned to the gate of his own courtyard, before he even got off the donkey cart, he saw an acquaintance lift the curtain and come out of the house.
