Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Chapter 353 Discussion in the 4th Courtyard

As night fell and the lights came on, the hustle and bustle of the city was gradually replaced by the tranquility of the night. On this ordinary night, He Yuzhu came to Yi Zhonghai's house and prepared to have dinner with them.

Walking into the house, a warm atmosphere hits you. Although the lights are a little dim, it reveals a special sense of warmth. On the dining table are a variety of home-cooked dishes, steaming hot and fragrant, making people salivate.

He Yuzhu sat casually at the table, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of delicious food and put it into his mouth. While chewing the food, he talked happily with Yi Zhonghai and the aunt, with a relaxed smile on his face. The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere gradually became subtle as the topic unfolded.

At some point, the focus of the conversation turned to Xu Damao's wife, Zheng Niang. "I heard that Xu Damao's wife has been visiting Zheng Niang's house frequently recently." He Yuzhu put down his chopsticks, wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and a subtle hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Well, that's true. He said he came here to take care of Zheng Niang, but in my opinion, there may be another mystery here." He seemed to have his own unique insights into this matter.

An old lady who had been listening silently on the side couldn't help but interrupt. The chopsticks in her hand tapped lightly on the edge of the bowl, making a crisp sound: "That's right! Xu Damao is a cunning guy, and he has a lot of thoughts. Maybe he was suspicious, so he asked his mother to come and act as the 'supervisor'." After saying that, she shook her head helplessly, as if she had already seen through the ins and outs of it.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly to show his agreement, his eyes firm and confident: "Yes, I think so too. Xu Damao is suspicious by nature and is always full of suspicion of others. And Zheng Niang is not only outstanding in appearance, but also in ability. How could he not be on guard against such a woman?"

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai suddenly changed the topic and cast his gaze towards He Yuzhu, his eyes showing more concern and inquiry: "Zhuzi, tell me, how was your blind date? Is there any new progress?"

Hearing this question, He Yuzhu's originally calm face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. He subconsciously reached out and scratched his head, looking a little shy and embarrassed: "Uh... it's OK, we can talk quite well, and it feels like we are destined to be together, but this kind of thing can't be rushed, it still needs to develop slowly."

An old lady standing by couldn't help but smile when she saw He Yuzhu like this, her mouth almost reaching her ears: "Haha, look how happy our Zhuzi is! If you keep going like this, I'm afraid we'll hear good news soon! When you have your wedding, don't forget to treat everyone to a drink!" Her words were full of anticipation and blessings.

He Yuzhu agreed with a smile, but he was very happy in his heart. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, his eyes flashing with longing and expectation for the future. The dinner gradually came to an end amidst laughter and joy, but the discussion about love and suspicion was as deep and long as the night.

At the same time, in the home of the second uncle Liu Haizhong, a warm and lively dining scene was unfolding. The light in the room was particularly soft, as if covering the entire space with a warm gauze. On the spacious dining table, a variety of home-cooked dishes were placed full, exuding an enticing aroma. The family sat happily around the table, fully immersed in this hard-earned moment of gathering.

Liu Haizhong skillfully picked up a piece of bright red, juicy braised pork, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully, with a satisfied look on his face. However, during the conversation, the topic unconsciously turned to Xu Damao's wife Zheng Niang. "Have you heard that recently Xu Damao's old lady has been going to Zheng Niang's house frequently, under the pretext of taking care of her. In my opinion, this matter is probably not simple, and there must be a mystery behind it." While speaking, Liu Haizhong slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand, stroked his chin thoughtfully, and scanned everyone with eyes full of doubts and speculations.

At this time, Liu Guangqi, Liu Haizhong's son, who had been listening silently, suddenly showed great interest. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth that he had not yet finished chewing, and couldn't wait to interrupt and said, "That's right! What father said is very true. Xu Damao is usually a scheming person. This time he made his mother act like this. I think he must have doubts in his heart, so he sent his mother to monitor Zheng Niang."

Aunt Liu, the old partner in the fringe, was adding food to the family members' meals skillfully, nodding and agreeing: "What you said does make sense! Just like what you said, Xu Damao is not a simple character. That guy has many tricks like honeycomb coals, each one more cunning than the other! In addition, Zheng Niang is well-known for her ability, it would be strange if he didn't have doubts and worries in his heart!"

At this time, Liu Haizhong, who was sitting at the side eating quietly, heard this and suddenly turned his head and cast his gaze on his son Liu Guangqi. A hint of satisfaction gradually emerged on his originally tense face: "Guangqi, by the way, how is your temporary job going now? Is everything going well?"

When Liu Guangqi heard his father asking about his recent situation, his originally calm face seemed to be lit up instantly, and he immediately broke into a brilliant smile full of pride: "Hey, Dad, don't worry! This job is not bad! Although it is just responsible for cleaning the streets, which seems to be an insignificant job, at least I can earn some extra income every day, so I personally feel quite satisfied! This is a very good start for me!"

After listening to what his son said, Liu Haizhong nodded slightly to show his approval, and his eyes revealed some satisfaction that was hard to conceal: "Yeah, not bad, not bad. It's really valuable to know how to take one step at a time and do things steadily. My child, you must remember that no matter what profession you pursue in the future, as long as you can persevere in hard work, one day you will have the time to stand out and become successful." After that, he patted Liu Guangqi's shoulder gently to show his encouragement and support.

Liu Guangqi nodded repeatedly, and the family continued their conversation in a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Unlike He Yuzhu's speculation and love topics, the discussion in Liu Haizhong's family was more about the practicality of life and the expectations for the future. And the things about Xu Damao's family also became the topic of conversation between the two families after dinner, adding some fun to this ordinary night.
