Chapter 242: Wanting to Find a Wife

How could one not say it's the Security Section, how could one not say the Security Team was built into an action team.

"This meal was eaten in vain."

"Or should I cook you some more food?"

"Don't eat anymore, if I eat, you'll use it as an excuse again."

"Hehehe," Li Xuewu laughed and covered the two with a quilt.

"Have you been home lately?"

Lou Xiaoe looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I have, otherwise I'd be bored to death staying here. You almost made me buy books until next year."

Next year, they wouldn't be buyable. What was she thinking?

Li Xuewu smiled, knowing he was in the wrong, and didn't argue with Lou Jie, only able to express his apologies through action.

Li Xuewu focused on convincing people with "strength." The more serious Lou Jie's resentment was, the harder Li Xuewu worked; only in this way could he dispel Lou Jie's resentment.

"Are Mom and Dad doing well?"

"Mm, hmph," Lou Jie made a soft sound through her nostrils, and after reacting, she emphasized again, "My Mom and Dad."

Seeing Lou Jie wasn't convinced, Li Xuewu could only increase his intensity and say, "Yes, yes, yes, so did Mom and Dad mention me?"

Lou Jie closed her eyes and said, "How could they not mention you? Mm~ every time I go, Mom cries once and asks if I'm willing to go on a blind date~"

Hearing Lou Jie say she was going on a blind date, Li Xuewu's reaction was a bit big, and Lou Jie couldn't quite take it.

"It seems this hairy son-in-law should pay a visit. If I don't go, my wife will become someone else's."

Lou Jie opened her eyes and glared at Li Xuewu, saying, "Who's your wife?"

Li Xuewu said nonchalantly, "Whoever calls me husband is my wife."

Lou Xiaoe glanced at Li Xuewu and closed her eyes again, scolding, "Bad egg."

Li Xuewu was used to being scolded; these were the mildest scoldings. The most flowery scoldings came from the experienced Qin Jie.

"What do Mom and Dad like? Antiques? Silk? Musical instruments? Go?"

Lou Xiaoe hit Li Xuewu with her hand and said, "My dad likes money, and my mom likes money too. You'd better prepare."

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu laughed and changed his frequency, saying heroically, "If you said anything else, I might really not be able to get it, but if you're talking about money, hahahaha."

Hearing Li Xuewu say this, Lou Xiaoe opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Li Xuewu.

She knew some of Li Xuewu's family background, and now Li Xuewu's accounts were being watched by Lou Xiaoe.

Li Xuewu had privately agreed with Wen San'er to come over and settle the accounts every seven days.

Wen San'er was also a wonderful person; neither of them told anyone about Li Xuewu keeping a mistress here.

Coming here to settle the accounts was just to show his face and leave.

Lou Xiaoe was taught by her parents to do business hand-in-hand at home, so naturally, she had seen the family's treasury; otherwise, Xu Damao couldn't have had gold bars in his hands.

Now hearing her lover say to her: If you said anything else, I might really not be able to get it, but if you're talking about money...

Lou Jie thought about her lover daring to challenge "Lou Half-City." He must be very rich.

"Mm~ what about money?"

Li Xuewu looked at Lou Jie with a proud face, head lowered, and said, "If you said any other rare treasure, I might really not be able to get it, but if you're talking about money, I really, truly can't get it. It's impossible."

"Pfft~ giggle giggle~"

Li Xuewu's words broke Lou Jie's defense. She had never seen anyone so glib. Ignoring Li Xuewu on her body, she covered her mouth and giggled.

Lou Jie really didn't care if Li Xuewu had money, because no matter how rich Li Xuewu was, he definitely wouldn't be as rich as Lou Jie.

Who was Lou Jie? She was Lou Half-City's only heir in the mainland, a wealthy young lady sitting on countless assets.

Lou Xiaoe poked Li Xuewu lightly with her fist and said, "Why did you chicken out?"

Li Xuewu moved and raised his eyebrows, asking, "Did I chicken out?"

Lou Xiaoe pointed at Li Xuewu's forehead and said, "You just chickened out. As soon as money is mentioned, you chicken out."

Li Xuewu curled his lip and said, "Don't think I'm a fool. I don't know how much family property you have, but I know your family's most precious 'thousand gold' is in my hands, so I'm in an invincible position."

"Virtue! If you dared to talk to my mom and dad like this when you went to our house, they'd beat you out."

Li Xuewu propped himself up on his arms, raised his eyebrows, and said to Lou Xiaoe, "You're right. I can't talk like this when I go to your house."

Lou Xiaoe instantly understood the meaning of Li Xuewu's words. She blushed and pinched Li Xuewu, saying, "Can you speak properly? Why are you so glib?"

Li Xuewu smiled wickedly, "If I weren't glib, could I have found you? I'm thinking about saving thirty years of hard work."

Lou Xiaoe couldn't keep up with Li Xuewu's speed. This double entendre was too brain-burning.

"So you wanted me just for my money."

Li Xuewu looked like "that's exactly it" and said seriously, "That's right. Getting Lou Xiaoe is getting half the city."

"Virtue, be careful, or I'll make you return to pre-liberation days in one morning."

Lou Xiaoe knew Li Xuewu was teasing her. Her family used boxes to store gold, but her mom and dad had to hide from people even when eating a fish.

Her family's villa and car were sold, and they lived in seclusion every day. How could they live as freely as Li Xuewu?

"Not to mention, if it were pre-liberation, I really wouldn't have been able to get you. With your status, you would have been a warlord's wife."

Thinking about the warlord's wife he might be facing, Li Xuewu became even more energetic.

Lou Xiaoe scolded Li Xuewu, "How come I didn't know your mouth was so glib before?"

"Heh, you didn't know me before. If you had known me earlier, you would have known my mouth was glib earlier."

He lowered his body, hugged Lou Jie, changed direction, and then said, "How about it? Do you think now is the best time to go to your house?"

Lou Xiaoe sat up and punched Li Xuewu, saying, "What kind of timing are you looking for?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How about we create a human life?"

Lou Xiaoe was startled by Li Xuewu's words. Then, looking at the winking Li Xuewu, she instantly understood Li Xuewu's meaning.

This was originally a boudoir joke, but Lou Xiaoe couldn't laugh no matter what.

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

Seeing Lou Jie was angry and about to go on strike, Li Xuewu quickly grabbed Lou Jie's hand.

"I am doing this on purpose. I sincerely want to have a child with you."

Lou Xiaoe's tears fell directly. This was a pain in Lou Jie's heart, a pain that had lasted for several years.

"Don't you know I can't conceive? Why are you still teasing me, wuwuwu~"

Li Xuewu bounced Lou Jie and asked, "Who told you that you can't conceive?"

Lou Jie's emotions had already risen, and her tears had already fallen, but she was stunned by Li Xuewu's question.

"Ah?"

Li Xuewu looked at Lou Jie amusedly and asked again, "Who said you can't conceive? Was it a doctor?"

"Ah? No... wuwuwu, but..."

Li Xuewu said seriously, "Not being able to have children is not just one person's responsibility. It's possible it's the other person's responsibility."

"Ah? Yes, I know, but after all these years..."

"Go for a check-up tomorrow when you have time. That way, we'll both be at ease. If we can have one, we will, and then my pressure when going to your house will be reduced. If we really can't have one, then just accompany me for a lifetime."

Lou Xiaoe was stunned now. This was a direction Lou Jie had never thought of.

Because Xu Damao's mother always said she couldn't have children, she habitually thought she couldn't have them.

"Really? Can we really have one?"

Li Xuewu grabbed Lou Jie's hand and said, "Even if you have an illness in this regard, it can be treated. Illnesses that make it impossible to have children are very rare. You haven't even had a check-up and you've already determined you can't have them?"

Lou Jie was already full of fantasies now. The hidden pressure on her body instantly expanded, and she became anxious about gains and losses.

"If..."

Seeing Lou Jie was no longer in the mood, Li Xuewu finished his work. Looking at Lou Jie's hopeful eyes, he said, "I trust you one hundred percent."

Lou Xiaoe nodded excitedly, but then thought of something and said, "I'll go by myself tomorrow."

Li Xuewu smiled wickedly, "You want me to go, but I have to have time. Tomorrow, the Security Li Kezhang is going into the mountains with me to hunt, and at the same time, I have to go to the Red Star Commune to see the training ground site, and I have to finalize the construction project."

Lou Xiaoe hadn't thought about Li Xuewu accompanying her, but hearing Li Xuewu say he was so busy even on a Sunday, she had some complaints.

"Why are you so busy? Can't you even rest on your day off?"

Li Xuewu said helplessly, "You really hit the nail on the head. The more it's a day off, the busier I am. On a workday, I'm actually quite free."

Lou Xiaoe pouted and asked again, "What about tomorrow night? Will you be back tomorrow night?"

Seeing Lou Jie was so clingy to him, Li Xuewu was also very satisfied, but he couldn't help himself.

"Tomorrow night, I have to visit an important leader with the deputy section chief. I don't know what time I'll be done, so it wouldn't be appropriate to come and bother you. Besides, I have to go to work on Monday."

Lou Xiaoe knew Li Xuewu was busy, truly busy, so although she was a bit unhappy inside, she didn't say anything.

"Monday, I'll come over after work on Monday. What do you want to eat? I'll bring it."

Seeing Li Xuewu say he would come on Monday, Lou Jie's pouted mouth instantly retracted, and she said happily, "Really? We have everything at home, you don't need to buy it. You just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll go buy it."

Looking at the excited Lou Jie, Li Xuewu smiled and said, "I want to eat you."

Lou Xiaoe couldn't take Li Xuewu's sweet talk and closed her eyes, blushing.

A family that accumulates goodness will have surplus blessings, and a family that accumulates evil will have surplus disasters. How could the old sayings be passed down otherwise?

Just as the sky was turning light, a man's panicked shouting came from the Sihe Academy at No. 99 Nanluoguxiang.

Shocking! Why is a forty-year-old man howling?!

Is everything behind this the extinction of conscience, the loss of morality, or the distortion of human nature?

None of these; it's that the Third Uncle's bicycle is gone.

Early in the morning, the Third Uncle got up early, picked up his fishing rod, and ran toward the water bucket as soon as he went out.

The last time Li Xuewu took him to Kunminghu, there were many fish, but he met that troublemaker Li Xuewu, and the Third Uncle only caught a few small fish. This time, he was prepared to go to Kunminghu to fight another round.

When the Third Uncle picked up the water bucket and reached into his pocket, preparing to take out the key, he was dumbfounded.

The key in his pocket was gone!

Hey, the bicycle that was usually placed under his own window was also gone.

This thief was too rampant. Did he enter the house to steal the key and then steal the car?

The Third Uncle thought about it in a daze, only then remembering that he had pushed the car home in a fit of anger yesterday and forgotten to lock it, and the key was still in the car lock.

Thinking it was someone playing a prank, the Third Uncle searched around the front courtyard but didn't find it. He put down the fishing rod and water bucket in his hand and ran into the house.

"Get up, get up, which one of you saw our family's bicycle?"

The Third Aunt had woken up when the Third Uncle got up. Hearing the Third Uncle say the bicycle was gone, she sat up directly.

"What? Wasn't it placed under our window? It was still there when I was cooking last night."

The Third Uncle jumped in his anxiety and said, "Don't I know it was there at dinner? Get up, get up, stop sleeping. The house has been stolen empty, and you're still sleeping."

As he spoke, he called up Yan Jiefang and the others who were sleeping in one room.

Yan Jiefang also rubbed his eyes and said in a daze, "I was peeing in the bucket at night, I didn't leave the room."

"That's right, I didn't get up all night."

The Third Uncle was also panicked. Seeing that no one in the house had moved, he pushed open the door and searched around the courtyard. He walked to the eldest son's house, thought about it, and knocked on the door.

But no one answered. Just as he wanted to knock again, he remembered that his eldest daughter-in-law should be busy in the inverted wing-room at this time, so he ran toward the inverted wing-room.

As soon as he entered the outer courtyard screen door, he saw Yu Li burning fire in the kitchen, and several young men from the west courtyard recycling station were washing up.

Seeing the Third Uncle enter in a panic, Wen San'er said, "Yo, Third Uncle, morning."

The Third Uncle didn't pay attention to them but asked Yu Li, who had just stood up, "Eldest daughter-in-law, did you see our family's bicycle?"

Yu Li was stunned for a moment and said, "I didn't see it. Wasn't it placed under the window at home? I didn't pay attention when I got up this morning."

The Third Uncle said with a mournful face, "It's gone. It disappeared as soon as I went out this morning."

Yu Li also asked anxiously, "Don't be anxious. Did someone borrow it last night? Didn't you lock it?"

The Third Uncle was too embarrassed to say he had made a mistake, so he said, "I forgot to lock it. Where's the eldest? Wouldn't the eldest have used it?"

This was called "seeking medical advice in a hurry." He clearly knew Yan Jiecheng had driven back last night, but now he was hoping Yan Jiecheng had ridden the car away.

Yu Li was also a bit angry. She didn't expect that even now, her father-in-law still looked at the two of them like this.

"Jiecheng was busy with Liu Guangfu and the others until past eleven last night. He got up at 6 o'clock this morning to boil water and left before 7 o'clock, saying he had work."

The Third Uncle said angrily, "He's nowhere to be found when he's needed. What's the use of raising him?"

Seeing her father-in-law not saying anything pleasant here, Yu Li didn't give the Third Uncle a good look anymore and retorted directly, "Use him to slap your mouth."

After speaking, she didn't pay attention to the Third Uncle anymore and continued to burn fire to cook.

The Third Uncle was already anxious, and now, being retorted by his eldest daughter-in-law, he hiccuped.

He wanted to say a few words to Yu Li, but the whole room was full of young men watching him.

Furthermore, now was the time to find the car, so he didn't waste time in the inverted wing-room and ran out to find it in the backyard.

When he found the backyard and saw Li Xuewu's car placed under the balcony, he walked over to take a look.

Although he hoped in his heart that it was his car, it really wasn't. This was Li Xuewu's car, which was easy to recognize because ordinary people couldn't bear to install electric motorcycle lights.

Why was Li Xuewu's car placed here? It was because Qin Huairu rode it back, thinking about the location Li Xuewu put it after the family split, so she locked the car under the balcony.

After confirming that he couldn't find his car in the courtyard, the Third Uncle raised his voice and ran out while shouting.

"It's terrible, it's terrible, everyone hurry out, hurry out and see, our courtyard has been entered by a thief."

This sudden shout almost sent the deaf old lady living in the back seat room away.

It was too sudden!

That shout was quite anxious and harsh. As the Third Uncle ran and shouted all the way, every household ran out with their clothes draped over them.

Because today was Sunday, everyone originally wanted to sleep in, but now that they heard a thief had entered the courtyard, they all ran out to check their own things.

The Third Uncle's family was even more fully mobilized, and Yan Jiefang even found the garbage dump in the west courtyard.

This made Biaozi angry. He stood at the screen door with a toothbrush cup and shouted at Yan Jiefang, "Grandson, what are you looking for here? Are you looking for a beating?"

Yan Jiefang meant exactly that; he suspected that these people in the west courtyard had hidden their family's car and were preparing to sell it.

Why did he think so? It was because Yan Jiefang's parents said that there wasn't a single good person in the inverted wing-room, and they were all down-and-out people.

Seeing Biaozi get angry and curse, Yan Jiefang didn't dare to confront Biaozi and ran home quietly along the wall.

At this time, the Third Uncle stood on the threshold and pointed at the people in the courtyard and shouted, "You all check, come out, everyone check."

The First Uncle, Second Uncle, Qin Huairu, Seeing Sha Zhu—the heads of each household had all come out.

Being stolen from at this time was a big deal, because each household was poor, and they felt heartache if they lost anything.

Seeing Sha Zhu came out and saw Qin Huairu walking out with her clothes on. He grinned and laughed, "Qin Jie, what are you coming out to see? Is there anything left in your house that can be stolen?"

Qin Huairu glared at Seeing Sha Zhu and said, "Then what are you coming out for?"

Seeing Sha Zhu curled his big mouth and laughed, "To watch the fun, to see which god helped me get revenge."

Qin Huairu looked at Seeing Sha Zhu with a smile and asked, "It wouldn't be you who did it, would it?"

Seeing Sha Zhu quickly cleared himself, "Don't say that. You shouldn't joke like that. If the Third Uncle takes it seriously, it'll be bad."

As he spoke, he said to Qin Huairu, "I wanted to do that, but Li Xuewu wouldn't let me. If it were up to me, I wouldn't steal the whole car, at most I'd remove two wheels, hehehe."

"You're really malicious." Saying this, Qin Huairu also walked toward the front courtyard.

Seeing Sha Zhu followed Qin Huairu and asked, "I'm here to watch the fun, what are you going for?"

Qin Huairu didn't look back and said, "Same as you, to watch the fun."

"Heh! It's a coincidence today."

When the First Uncle walked out of the middle courtyard, he saw the Third Uncle still shouting desperately.

"Check if your family lost anything, our courtyard has been entered by a thief."

The Third Uncle had the intention of reminding his neighbors, but also the intention of finding balance.

His own family had lost such a valuable item, so it would be too hateful if they didn't lose anything either.

If every family had lost such a valuable thing, he would feel psychologically balanced.

The First Uncle looked at the panicked Third Uncle and asked, "What's wrong?"

The Third Uncle gestured and shouted, "You, you hurry and check, something big happened, it's terrible, our alley has been entered by a thief, my car is gone."

Just after asking, Wang Laoqi, who lived in the front courtyard gate hall, shouted, "Oh my, I was fixing the stove yesterday, the iron pot I placed at the door is gone."

Before the First Uncle could go ask Wang Laoqi, Li Xuewu's father, Li Shun, walked over with a frown and said, "The fish Li Xuewu caught last time was hung on the side of the house, it's gone."

"Why does this thief steal everything?"

"Yeah! It's too wicked. My pot was stolen, how am I supposed to cook?"

The First Uncle saw that the situation was quite serious. He looked at the Third Uncle again and said, "Li Xuewu told me yesterday that the street isn't peaceful and told us to be more vigilant, and even said to clean up the gatehouse to use as a duty room, but you just wouldn't listen. Now it's good, if you had listened to Li Xuewu earlier, you wouldn't have lost your bicycle."

"And my iron pot too."

Li Shun just frowned, but didn't say there was also his fish.

The Third Uncle was also anxious and angry now. Hearing the First Uncle scold him, he was also aggrieved and said, "How would I know it's so unpeaceful? This is too fast. What's the use of saying these things now? My car is gone."

The First Uncle looked at the Third Uncle and said, "It seems our courtyard really has to listen to Li Xuewu's opinion. Starting today, the big gate at the entrance must be locked. Every household, men over 16 who live at home, two by two, one group per night, on duty in the courtyard."

After speaking, he said to the Third Uncle, "I'll go report it to the police station immediately. You hurry and take the people in the courtyard to clean up the gatehouse. I'll discuss with Li Xuewu when he comes back tonight to clean up the gatehouse."

The Third Uncle could only nod and say, "Yes, yes, yes, then you have a hard trip, I'll clean up the gatehouse right now."

One doesn't know pain until the lightning strikes oneself. Now that the Third Uncle's car was lost, he also knew the importance of repairing the gatehouse.

The Third Uncle's family of five stood at the door looking at the empty veranda and cursing, while Seeing Sha Zhu laughed "hehe" twice and was about to go to the inverted wing-room to eat.

The Third Uncle was in a fit of anger. Seeing Seeing Sha Zhu's cold laugh, he shouted, "Seeing Sha Zhu, what do you mean? Are you laughing at me?"

"Heh, why are you getting angry at whoever you see? I'm happy today, can't I laugh twice? You really have a wide mouth, heh."

The Third Uncle couldn't defeat the little war god of the Sihe Academy and was retorted by Seeing Sha Zhu to the wall. The breath didn't come up, and he almost passed out.

Yan Jiefang was young and vigorous. He pointed at Seeing Sha Zhu and said, "You're just gloating, you're not a good person either."

He said this while looking at Seeing Sha Zhu, who was about to go to the inverted wing-room. The meaning was that Li Xuewu wasn't a good person, and the people in the inverted wing-room weren't good people, so Seeing Sha Zhu going there wasn't a good person either.

Seeing Sha Zhu curled his big mouth and mocked, "The title of good person should be given to your father. Your father is a good person, your father is a gentleman, he absolutely wouldn't do things like corruption or breaking promises, right, Third Uncle?"

The Third Uncle, who had just caught his breath, was retorted by Seeing Sha Zhu's words until his heart ached. He frowned and said, "Go, go, go, stay wherever it's cool, didn't you see my car was lost?"

"Alright, I'll give you one more sentence: your father is so good at calculating, just wait, in a few days he'll be able to calculate a bicycle for your family, hehe."

After mocking the last sentence, Seeing Sha Zhu crossed the second gate and went to the inverted wing-room.

The Third Uncle's family looked through the second gate, the screen door, and then through the glass window, seeing Yu Li busy pouring water and serving porridge, and none of them felt good.

"Really heartless, our family's car is lost, and she's still cooking for others."

"Exactly, raised a white-eyed wolf, my eldest brother and his wife have different hearts."

The Third Uncle looked at the inverted wing-room with his small eyes, and he was also a bit annoyed.

But the neighbors were all looking for their things here, so he didn't say anything in front of these people, but pointed at the gatehouse and told Yan Jiefang and the others to move things.

Yan Jiefang hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he muttered, "Really moving? Where should the things be put?"

The Third Uncle frowned and said, "If you don't move, our house will be stolen too. Just put the things in the empty space on the north side of the house."

Yan Jiekun was good at talking, "Our family's most valuable bicycle is lost, there's nothing else to steal, it doesn't matter if we move it or not."

The Third Uncle was so angry. According to his youngest son, this bicycle could never be found again, and there would be no bicycle in the future.

"Go, go, go, I told you to move, so move. Where did you get so much nonsense? Our family's car can still be found."

Yan Jiefang curled his lip and said, "I think it's mysterious. My classmate's bicycle was lost and only the frame was found back, the parts were all dismantled and sold."

It would have been better not to mention this. As soon as he mentioned the car being dismantled and sold, the Third Uncle's heart started aching again. He must have had a heart attack from being narrow-minded, and he started to be angry at his son.

"Go, go, go, our family's car was just lost. If we look for it now, we can definitely find it back in one piece. Besides, isn't Li Xuewu our police station's deputy director? We're all in the same courtyard, the police station will definitely help us find it first."

Yan Jiekun was young, so he spoke straight, whatever he had to say: "Forget it, the Li family has been offended by our family, who would help us?"

Seeing her old man was about to die of heartache, the Third Aunt quickly patted her youngest son's head and said, "Go, go, go, go to work, don't add to your father's troubles."

After sending away the children, she asked the Third Uncle in a low voice, "Why don't you go talk to Li Xuewu? No matter what, you're the Third Uncle in this courtyard, how can he not give you this face?"

The Third Uncle looked at his old partner with a mournful face and said, "Where can I find him? Didn't you hear the eldest say that he's going into the mountains with the leader to test some radio station today? Besides, who am I? What Third Uncle? Even the First Uncle isn't useful, let alone the Third Uncle."

The Third Uncle finally understood the taste of it now. He knew that in Li Xuewu's eyes, he was just a fart. Now that he had offended him so badly, how could he help him stand up for himself?

Yan Jiefang dragged a kang mat out of the gatehouse and said, "Dad, these things of ours are all big items. If we pile them on the north side of the house, it will block the door of my brother's room, and it will be inconvenient to go in and out."

The Third Uncle waved his hand impatiently, "Put it there first, I'll talk about it after I find a place. How many times can he go in and out?"

"Alright, you have the final say."

Yan Jiefang agreed and started piling junk on the north side of the house. At first, it was nothing, but it piled up more and more.

There were some things that the family didn't use for the time being. Now it looked like it was going to block Yan Jiecheng's window, leaving only one door.

Yu Li had just finished cleaning up the inverted wing-room and wanted to go home to tidy up the quilt she hadn't folded when she came out in a hurry this morning. But as soon as she turned into the front courtyard, she saw Yan Jiefang piling things at her door.

"Jiefang, what are you doing? Why are you piling things at my door?"

Yan Jiefang had an opinion about his sister-in-law last night. After being told by his parents this morning, he was even more resentful.

Seeing his sister-in-law ask, he said angrily, "Dad told me to put it here, go find him."

Yu Li's face turned red from being retorted by her brother-in-law. No matter what, she was the eldest sister-in-law, how could he talk to her like this?

But before Yu Li could say anything, the Third Aunt came out of the house, first calling Yan Jiefang to eat, and then glancing at her eldest daughter-in-law.

"Your family has few people, and the eldest doesn't come back often, and you work in the outer courtyard, so it's fine if it's blocked."

Yu Li was very dissatisfied that her mother-in-law had beaten Yan Jiecheng without distinguishing right from wrong last night. Today, seeing the old couple looking for trouble, her temper flared up.

"Ah, just because we have few people, we have to be blocked? Why don't you put it in the spacious veranda of your house? Our room is already damp, and you're blocking the light, are we living in a cave?"

The Third Uncle also came out now. The order he gave finally needed an explanation.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what's yours and what's ours? Aren't we all one family? Just put it there first, I'll move it after I find a place."

Yu Li now had the ability to stand on her own, so her words became tough. She raised her chin and said, "It's not me who said yours and mine, it's my mom. Looking at your meaning, you want to split the family, right?"

"Split what family? I'm not dead yet, split what family? It's chaotic enough today, don't add to the chaos."

The Third Uncle saw Yu Li getting more and more excessive, so he couldn't help but beat his legs and shout.

Women arguing is like this, neither side will give in.

Seeing Yu Li talk about splitting the family, the Third Aunt also raised her eyebrows and jumped and shouted, "Split the family, you and the eldest hurry and split out, don't count on us to live, don't come to us even if you starve to death."

Actually, neither the old nor the young had any intention of splitting the family. At this time, splitting the family was not a glorious thing; it was just words spoken in the heat of the moment.

The old saying goes that people fight for a breath, and Buddha fights for a stick of incense. The atmosphere had reached this point. Today, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had spoken absolutely.

Yu Li stiffened her neck and retorted, "Fine, Jiecheng will come back today and we'll split. From now on, we won't beg you even if we have to beg for food."

The Third Aunt's words were also absolute: "Beg for food, you won't even be able to eat shit. You call Jiecheng to pick up your dad tonight, we'll call the two uncles over, and we'll split the family."

"Fine, split. We're willing to eat shit, it's better than being angry. But I have to say one thing first: if that pile of junk isn't moved before dinner tonight, I'll burn it as firewood for you."

"You dare!"

"Try me and see if I dare!"

After Yu Li finished speaking, she shook her sleeves and went back to the room, leaving the Third Aunt jumping and cursing.

The Third Uncle was cursing his old partner for being confused. He saw that the eldest and his wife were about to earn money, but he drove them out and split the family. Wasn't this cutting off his own arm?

The Third Aunt was also an easygoing person on weekdays, but there were always some unclear contradictions between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Over time, it might be dry firewood, and it might explode when it meets a little fire.

Seeing her old partner talk about money, the Third Aunt was dumbfounded, but the words had already been spoken.

If these words were spoken in the room and no one in the courtyard could hear them, everyone would say Yan Jiecheng and his wife were unfilial, as their father wasn't dead yet and the eldest was splitting the family.

This was different from Li Xuewu. Li Xuewu was driven out by Li Shun, while the eldest was the pillar of the family and a university teacher. He was the big pillar, so no one said Li Xuewu was unfilial.

Even so, Li Xuewu still had to go home from time to time to see, and buying this and that was normal. This was the custom of a traditional family.

But the Third Uncle's family was not like this. This was the Third Aunt and her partner bullying their own eldest son, and then there was a contradiction between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that couldn't be resolved, and it was the Third Aunt who proposed splitting the family, so no one said anything.

"I admit it, isn't it the same whether he's here or not now? It's always the daughter-in-law who's right, and she never takes me as a mother seriously."

This is called arguing without reason. Everyone in the courtyard knew Yan Jiecheng was an honest and cowardly boy. He would do whatever his father and mother said, even if he was wronged by his wife.

The Third Uncle glanced at the Third Aunt and said, "Alright, alright, say less, hurry and eat."

Yan Jiefang looked at the water tank lid in his hand and asked blankly, "Dad, this... what should we do with this pile of things?"

The Third Uncle looked at the pile of junk and said, "Pick out the valuable ones and sell them to the west courtyard recycling station. Keep the useful ones that aren't valuable against the wall, and throw away the useless ones."

The Third Aunt said with heartache, "What a pity, those are all usable, it's a waste to throw them away, and it's money to buy them again."

The Third Uncle was also tortured to the point of exhaustion now, his head hurt, and he said helplessly to the Third Aunt, "Then you tell me where to put them, we can't put them in the room, unless you can conjure up a house for me."

The Third Aunt called Yan Jiefang and the others into the house to eat, served the Third Uncle at the table, and said her meaning at the dining table.

It was very simple: the eldest and his wife wanted to split the family, but the house was bought by the Third Uncle. They could split the family, but they had to move out, and the house would be used to store the junk.

If they wanted the house, they couldn't split the family, and they had to allow the family to pile this pile of junk at the door.

The Third Uncle looked at his old partner in surprise, not expecting his old partner to be so smart.

Where would the eldest and his wife live? If he said this, they would have to take the initiative to propose not splitting the family. This way, both face and substance would be preserved.

"Good, good, this move of 'dying and then living' is used well. Just do it this way. When Yu Li's dad comes, we'll shame him."

The Third Aunt shook her head with a proud look and picked up a piece of pickled vegetable, "Can't I handle her?"

The Third Uncle pointed at the Third Aunt with chopsticks in his hand and said, "But there's one thing, don't say it too much, master the heat. The eldest and his wife have a salary of more than twenty yuan."

The Third Aunt glanced at the Third Uncle and said, "I know, I have a count in my heart."

Now that a difficult problem was solved, although the bicycle matter still made his heart ache, he felt more comfortable. He gnawed on the steamed bun in his hand with pickled vegetables and ate it happily.

Yu Li finished cleaning up the house and just walked out of the room. She frowned at the pile of junk at the door, but frowning didn't help, and she couldn't move it herself.

She glanced at her mother-in-law's house and walked toward the inverted wing-room, but was stopped by Liu Guangtian after only two steps.

"Sister-in-law."

Yu Li turned her head, but it was Liu Guangtian standing at the third gate greeting her.

"Hey, Guangtian, how is Guangfu? My brother came back yesterday and said he was fine and lay down. He had to drive the car this morning, so I didn't dare to ask."

Liu Guangtian walked to Yu Li gratefully and said, "He had 7 stitches and is fine now. Sister-in-law, this is the money you lent me. Great kindness doesn't need to be thanked, just say the word if you have anything in the future."

Yu Li was also treasuring the 10 yuan in her pocket, taking it out from time to time to encourage herself. Yesterday, the situation was urgent, so she took it out and lent it to Liu Guangtian without hesitation.

Now seeing Liu Guangtian return the money, she also said generously, "If you need money, just spend it first."

Liu Guangtian shook his head and said, "No, my dad gave me money. This is specifically to return to you."

Only then did Yu Li take the money from Liu Guangtian's hand and said, "Then sister-in-law will take it. If you need anything, just tell sister-in-law."

Liu Guangtian nodded and said, "Still the same sentence, just say the word if you have anything in the future. We remember the kindness of my brother and sister-in-law."

This Liu Guangtian was a bit muddled, and Liu Guangfu was a white-eyed wolf, but to whom? This was also because the Second Uncle didn't teach them well.

These two brothers didn't have any evil deeds; it was just that their resentment toward their parents was too great, and they did many muddled things. They knew how to be grateful to those who were good to them.

Yu Li nodded and said, "Then you get busy, I still have to go to the inverted wing-room to get busy."

Liu Guangtian waved his hand, wanting to say something but didn't.

Seeing this, Yu Li looked at Liu Guangtian and asked, "Guangtian, do you have anything else?"

Liu Guangtian looked at Yu Li awkwardly and whispered to Yu Li, "Sister-in-law, can I ask you for advice on something?"

Seeing that Liu Guangtian had some private matters to ask, Yu Li took Liu Guangtian to the screen door of the outer courtyard. Only the Second Uncle in the west courtyard was busy here, and everyone else had gone out.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. What advice or not advice?"

Seeing that there was no one here, Liu Guangtian whispered, "Sister-in-law, you've seen my situation. I dream of being like Jiecheng brother, but I can't touch Li Ke's edge. Last time I saw you and Jiecheng brother go to Li Ke's house, and then Jiecheng brother became Li Ke's driver. Master Yang Er, I also want to..."

Yu Li didn't expect that what Liu Guangtian wanted to ask was this matter. Thinking about that day, she blushed a little, but since Liu Guangtian asked, she said, "Why, aren't you doing well in the workshop? Why do you want to go to the Security Section?"

Liu Guangtian also blushed and said, "The Security Section is so majestic, the work isn't tiring, and there's a chance for promotion. Master Yang Er how majestic Jiecheng brother is."

Yu Li saw Liu Guangtian praising Yan Jiecheng and felt honored, smiling and saying, "What majesty? Didn't you see him get slapped by his mother? Even on his day off, he's not idle. He has to get up early to serve the leader. You only see his scene, but you don't see him suffering."

Liu Guangtian smiled and said, "If you want to be noble in front of people, you have to suffer behind people. I understand, but I also want to be like Jiecheng brother and earn high-end floral fabric for my wife."

Yu Li's face had just calmed down and turned red again. She wanted to explain that the piece of floral fabric wasn't earned by Yan Jiecheng, but she couldn't explain it, so she could only smile and ask, "Wanting to find a wife?"
