Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

"You have no shame at all." Lou Xiao'e glared at Guo Shumiao and cursed her angrily.

Guo Shumiao rolled her eyes and said, "Zhang Mouling once said, 'What you can't have is your white moonlight, what you can't have is your cinnabar mole...'"

Ouch, ouch, ouch...it hurts...

Guo Shumiao was about to continue speaking when Lou Xiao'e pinched her upper and lower lips and pulled them outwards.

It's as comical as a duck's beak.

Lou Xiao'e didn't mind Guo Shumiao's outspokenness.

The fact that Guo Shumiao could say this in front of her shows that she has truly let go.

If He Yuzhu truly is the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in her eyes, she will only keep He Yuzhu hidden in the deepest part of her heart and will never tell Lou Xiao'e.

In early spring, Guo Shumiao returned to Beijing with her eldest son.

The He family wasn't particularly excited, but the Guo family was quite shaken by the news.

This is normal; after all, everyone in the He family is knowledgeable.

Liu Ting has gotten used to the comings and goings of her children.

But after receiving the news that Guo Shumiao was coming back, Fang Juan became completely obsessed.

Buy cosmetics, buy new clothes, get your hair permed...

Fang Juan and her daughter Guo Qing, along with Liu Ting, went through all the trendy projects currently available in Beijing.

Liu Ting also loves shopping, but she was so exhausted by the mother and daughter that she collapsed on the sofa when she got home.

"What's the matter?
"Looks like she's given up on life?" He Yuzhu walked out of the study with a teacup in his hand, looking at Liu Ting's limp, lifeless appearance, and asked curiously.

Liu Ting didn't answer, but instead craned her neck and opened her mouth wide in front of He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu understood and brought the teacup in his hand to Liu Ting's lips.

'Slurp... glug glug...' Liu Ting's drinking sounds were like a little piglet; she didn't care about her image at all in front of He Yuzhu.

"Drink slowly!" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Oh my god! I'm so thirsty."

You don't know, Fang Juan has gone mad.

"Guess how much she spent today?" Liu Ting finished her tea in one gulp, then seemed to come back to life, and asked He Yuzhu with a gossipy look on her face.

"How much money can you spend in Beijing?" He Yuzhu asked, somewhat disdainful of his wife's limited knowledge.

That's definitely the case in Beijing now; if you're talking about buying big-ticket items, you might spend several thousand yuan.

But how much can a few women spend when they go shopping?

I'd only buy a few pieces of clothing at most; spending a hundred or two would be terrifying.

Just like Liu Ting's dry mouth, there are places outside where you can buy soda.

The fact that her mouth is so dry only means that she's reluctant to spend the money.

Liu Ting held up two fingers, then thought for a moment and held up one more.

"Three hundred?" He Yuzhu still didn't care.

Liu Ting gave He Yuzhu a reproachful look and said, "Three thousand!"

"Holy crap... Fang Juan bought a new man?" He Yuzhu was truly shocked.

"What nonsense are you talking about?

"What will happen to Guo Lei if we buy him another man?" Liu Ting was already used to He Yuzhu's unreliability, so she cooperated very well.

“Just throw that good-for-nothing into a nursing home, find a new man, and Fang Juan won’t be jealous of you all the time.” He Yuzhu said this, completely letting loose.

Liu Ting first covered her mouth and chuckled, but after she finished laughing, she stopped and looked at He Yuzhu with an unfriendly expression, saying, "Will you replace me when I get old and lose my beauty?"

"You've even chosen the location, right?"

He Yuzhu was dumbfounded; he truly hadn't expected Liu Ting to make such a connection. Seeing the murderous aura emanating from her, He Yuzhu immediately forced a smile and said, "How could that be?"
If anyone's going to switch, it'll be you replacing me.

You hold the reins of our family finances.
Also, when you went out with He Yuan, she mistook you for her sister.

····”

Such shameless flattery came so naturally from He Yuzhu's mouth.

Liu Ting's originally cold face, though still stern, showed an uncontrollable smile, indicating that she appreciated what He Yuzhu had said.

"Hmph..." That was Liu Ting's cold snort as her reply to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu only breathed a sigh of relief when Liu Ting's murderous gaze shifted away from him.

This woman is getting harder and harder to please these days.

Fang Juan bought a TV because she was afraid that Guo Shumiao would bring the child back and wouldn't be able to stand the black and white screen.

She also went to the Overseas Chinese Shopping Mall and bought some new clothes and bedding...

They were worried that Guo Shumiao wouldn't be used to staying at home.

"Those things are really too expensive." Liu Ting counted on her fingers as she recounted the Guo family's expenses for the day to He Yuzhu.

"Hmph... Not a small investment, but the demands are enormous!" He Yuzhu joked.

"Nonsense!" Liu Ting chuckled and lightly slapped him.

But she actually agreed with He Yuzhu's statement.

This is normal.

He Yuzhu’s acquaintances are well aware that Guo Shumiao has made a fortune outside.

There are some things that the He family can't explain to outsiders, so they usually push the blame onto Guo Shumiao.

According to the information released by the He family, He Yuan became a cartoonist outside the home, with the support of Guo Shumiao.

He An went to Hong Kong Island, and Guo Shumiao helped take care of him.

These claims might not fool those in power, but people like Fang Juan truly believed them.

Now that her sister-in-law, who has made her fortune outside, is coming back, it's only natural that Fang Juan would invest more.

In any case, Guo Shumiao will definitely not let her lose money.

This is not an overly calculated scheme.

Everyone has selfish desires. When you encounter wealthy relatives, it's understandable to want to treat them well and build good relationships for your children.

Furthermore, this also serves as proof from Fang Juan, as Guo Shumiao's sister-in-law, that she and her husband would definitely not scheme against Guo Shumiao like the old Guo couple used to.

In terms of wealth, the Guo family may not be as wealthy as the He family, but they are not lacking either.

Let alone buying a color TV, even if they were to add a motorcycle, the couple could easily afford that amount of money.

Fang Juan's actions clearly demonstrated her intentions.

But at least it indirectly shows that the couple will no longer scheme against their sister-in-law over money.

“However, I estimate that Fang Juan’s preparations will all be in vain.” He Yuzhu poured another cup of tea before leisurely sitting down next to Liu Ting and saying.

"Why?" Liu Ting looked completely bewildered.

"You forgot, Shu Miao has a husband now. Her husband, Zhang Zhen, is a government employee in Beijing. They have their own home here," He Yuzhu said casually.

However, when Zhang Zhen was mentioned, he couldn't help but frown and think deeply for a moment.

Too much time had passed, and he couldn't even remember his brother-in-law's name.

Although Zhang Zhen remained quiet, things went smoothly for her in Hong Kong.

This is normal. No matter which unit in Hong Kong Island Lou Xiao'e's brother-in-law goes to do business with, people will give him some face.

Zhang Zhen has unknowingly become a pivotal leader in external relations. (End of Chapter)
