Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

Inside the room, Lin Weidong stopped Chen Xueru from running around and pulled her off Tian Zao to signal that someone was there.

Chen Xueru glanced outside and quickly turned back, smoothing her disheveled hair and tidying her clothes.

"Little Jujube, I'll let you off the hook today because there are people around! Next time, I'll give you a good spanking."

Tian Zao lay on the bed, panting. Upon hearing this, she rolled her eyes. Did she think she couldn't tell whose hand it was?

"You're so smug because you hit him..."

Lin Weidong silently avoided Tian Zao's gaze and changed the subject.

"Let's go! If you're not enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with your thinking."

The three of them tidied their clothes and came to the dining table. Erhu's wife had already taken Qin Huairu out.

Chen Xueru winked at Lin Weidong and followed him out.

"Huai Ru, are you done with work? Let's eat!"

Chen Xueru enthusiastically pulled him back, but Qin Huairu kept refusing.

She was aware of her position, and besides, Erhu's sister-in-law had left some food in the kitchen, so it wasn't like there was nothing to eat.

"Are you too embarrassed to go because you saw your brother-in-law? Okay! Then I won't force you."

Chen Xueru chuckled and then stopped insisting; in truth, she was just going through the motions.

Qin Huairu is still under observation, so it's necessary to maintain a proper distance.

After Chen Xueru left, Qin Huairu blushed deeply.

She thought of the eyes she had met in the room back then, and if she wasn't mistaken, those must have been Xue Ru's man.

I was caught peeking, how embarrassing! I wonder if they'll have a problem with me.

She had just experienced the good things about city life and didn't want to go back to the countryside.

Recalling the scene from just now, Qin Huairu suddenly realized that she had overlooked something.

At that moment, she thought she heard Sister Zao'er's voice, so...

Qin Huairu was curious, but he refrained from asking Erhu's wife.

She was afraid that if she caused any more trouble, she would be driven away, but in her heart, she silently equated the man in the main wife with the wealthy landlord from the countryside.

Inside the main room, Lin Weidong was multitasking, observing Qin Huairu through the surveillance camera while pretending to be a gentleman in response to Tian Zao's teasing.

Ever since Chen Xueru left, Tian Zao had been secretly observing her, her eyes practically asking Lin Weidong what he meant.

When Chen Xueru returned, she glared at Tian Zao. Not wanting to reveal her purpose so quickly, she hurriedly changed the subject.

"Honey, let me ask you something serious. What do you think of Huai Ru? Is she any good? I think she's from the countryside, so she's quick and efficient. If I teach her a bit, she'll be perfect for entertaining our female guests."

Lin Weidong nodded while chewing his food, then swallowed and said.

"Either is fine, you decide."

Upon hearing this, Tian Zao nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the head of the household had a good impression of Qin Huairu, and who knew when he might take advantage of her.

She had long been preparing herself to accept Qin Huairu.

But the next day at school, he heard some bad news for the Lin family.

"Great news, students! The government has passed a new marriage law! From now on, only one man and one woman will be allowed to marry!"

"What?! When did this happen?"

"The announcement was made yesterday, May Day. From now on, polygamy and concubines will be prohibited, and freedom of marriage and love will be upheld! Women hold up half the sky! From now on, we can truly stand up!"

"Great! That's wonderful!"

……

While her female classmates cheered and celebrated, Tian Zao felt like she was sitting on pins and needles and couldn't concentrate on the lesson.

She was worried about Chen Xueru.

If this news gets out, Chen Xueru's plans will likely fall through...

After finally getting out of school, Tian Zao ran back to the silk shop as fast as she could.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw Qin Huairu following behind Chen Xueru after changing into a simple outfit.

"What's wrong, Zao'er? Why are you running so fast? What happened?"

"Let's go, let's talk in the back."

Tian Zao pulled Chen Xueru to the backyard and told her everything she had heard.

"Xue Ru, I think we should either give up or do it as soon as possible! We can't wait for you to take your time to investigate. If this news gets out, Qin Huairu might not agree."

"Is that so!?" Chen Xueru was initially annoyed, but then she suddenly remembered Lin Weidong's previous arrangements.

"Hiss! Do you think the boss already knew, which is why he made us wait before doing anything?"
