Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

Xu Damao returned to the courtyard with a depressed look on his face and ran into his third uncle Yan Bugui at the door.

"Xu Damao, did you bring back any food from the blind date?" Yan Bugui asked as he looked at Xu Damao with empty hands.

Xu Damao, who was feeling depressed, rolled his eyes. He was going on a blind date, so why would he bring any food?

But he failed to understand what Yan Bugui meant.

Yan Bugui thinks that when Xu Damao goes on a blind date, he should take the girl out to a restaurant for a meal, and isn't it normal for him to bring back some leftovers?

The blind date might fail, and Xu Damao was in a bad mood after being locked up for most of the day, so he ignored Yan Bugui and walked straight into the yard.

"Hey, Xu Damao is back from the blind date?" Qin Huairu had just asked an old lady to help look after the sticks and went out to buy some vegetables when she ran into Xu Damao and greeted him politely.

Compared to facing Yan Bugui, Xu Damao's expression looked much better when he saw Qin Huairu.

He forced an ugly smile and said, "Oh, don't mention it. How could I live in the same courtyard with someone like this? I even ruined my blind date."

When Qin Huairu heard this, she realized that something was wrong.

"Hey, Xu Damao, what happened to you? How could your blind date fail?"

Xu Damao immediately recounted what happened in the mall with some exaggeration, but what he said was that he met Lu Wanyi and others in the mall, and that Lu Wanyi deliberately acted close to him in front of his blind date.

The blind date was mad and left.

In his opinion, the blind date failed, but he couldn't lose face, so he simply put the blame on Lu Wanyi.

Of course, the reason why he said this was because he was afraid that Lu Wanyi would tell his "embarrassing story" first when she returned to the courtyard and be laughed at by others. It would be better for him to turn the tables on her.

But he overlooked one point.

That is, except for going to work, Lu Wanyi basically never goes out of the courtyard and has little social interaction with people in the courtyard. The only contact with people in the courtyard is Lu Zhenyuan's.

He lived in the backyard and was not aware of this, but Qin Huairu lived in the middle yard. She would say hello to everyone she met when she passed by the front yard every day, so she knew some of the situation.

When I heard Xu Damao say this, the first thing that came to my mind was disbelief.

But he didn't show it on his face, instead he changed the subject, "Oh, I forgot to go buy groceries. I won't tell you anymore. If you go too late, you won't be able to pick fresh ones."

Looking at Qin Huairu's swaying back, Xu Damao felt envious.

He cursed inwardly that smoke was coming out of Jia Dongxu’s ancestral grave.

Qin Huairu wisely walked away, but Xu Damao was guilty and deliberately spoke very loudly during the previous call. He was standing in front of the main hall, so almost everyone in the central courtyard could hear his voice.

Anyone who knows something about the Lu family knows that Xu Damao’s words cannot be trusted, but sometimes people are just like that.

They know it's fake, but it doesn't stop them from gossiping about it.

Lu Wanyi is beautiful and has a good job, which has aroused the envy and jealousy of countless beasts.

Just like when the deaf old lady spread rumors, Liu Haizhong and his family slandered others without any scruples and followed the crowd, so Lu Zhenyuan beat four of them alone and gave them a severe lesson. This made these beasts keep their mouths shut.

But the same principle still applies: if you don’t make up a rumor yourself, you don’t have to worry about it.

It was Xu Damao who said these words. They were just discussing them. If they wanted to settle the score, they should go to Xu Damao.

And Xu Damao doesn't know that he has sold himself out and is not worth much. A bunch of beasts are not afraid of trouble and are ready to fan the flames and watch the fun.

And that's a coincidence.

Qin Huairu, who went out to buy groceries, ran into the Lu family who were returning.

"Qin Huairu, are you going to buy some groceries?" Lu Zhenyuan called out.

Qin Huairu was used to the boy always calling her by her name, so she rolled her eyes at him.

Of course, this was only outside the courtyard. If she was inside the courtyard, it would be difficult for her to have much contact with the Lu family. After all, what happened with her mother-in-law, Dongxu would feel uncomfortable hearing outsiders gossiping.

Although the big incident happened in the Su family, everyone in the compound knew that the Su and Lu families were in cahoots.

Moreover, the Jia family also had conflicts with the Lu family.

Thinking of what Xu Damao said before, Qin Huairu subconsciously glanced at Lu Wanyi. She was prettier than herself, had better conditions than herself, and had more temperament.

Thinking that her mother-in-law had actually provoked the Lu family, she wondered if she was blinded by greed.

If it were her, she would not want to have any grudges with the Lu family, so it would be too late to establish good relations with such a capable person.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu felt that it was necessary to ease the neighborhood relationship between the Jia family and the Lu family in the courtyard, so she pretended to be hesitant to speak.

Lu Zhenyuan was delighted when he saw it.

Qin Huairu did have something to say. To be honest, he really couldn't hate Qin Huairu now. Of course, he just looked at her with a calm eye. After all, he knew Qin Huairu's true nature well.

But judging from his actions rather than his feelings, Qin Huairu didn't provoke him, so there was no need for him to give her a bad face.

The main point is that after the old hag of the Jia family was sent in, the Jia family did become much quieter. Jia Dongxu could do nothing except utter harsh words. He was even worse than Sha Zhu. After being secretly dealt with by him twice, they became much more obedient.

"Sister Wanyi, you guys go back first. I want to chat with Qin Gua... ahem, Qin Huairu." Lu Zhenyuan coughed twice and almost let the cat out of the bag.

Lu Wanyi glanced at him, then nodded to Qin Huairu as a greeting, and the three of them walked home.

Xiao Yuyan also got off the bicycle, took off the seat and followed back.

This is how the Lu family is. Outside, Lu Zhenyuan has the final say, so they won't ask about it. And they know that if there is really something they need to know, Lu Zhenyuan will tell them when he returns even if they don't ask.

"You seem to be hesitant to speak, so tell me what's going on?"

Qin Huairu did not answer immediately, but glanced at the bicycle and said, "I do have some news about your sister."

As soon as Lu Zhenyuan heard it, he understood that this was a request for benefits.

"Come on, how do you tell me?"

"Take my sister-in-law to the market on your bike, and then send her back, and I'll tell you."

Lu Zhenyuan raised an eyebrow.

"Tsk tsk, aren't you afraid that others will see and gossip about you?"

"go with!"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him, "How old is my sister-in-law? How old are you? What gossip do you have to say? Just tell me whether you will do it or not?"

"Dry!"

Lu Zhenyuan turned the car around and patted the back seat to signal Qin Huairu to get in.

Qin Huairu immediately sat on the back seat happily. This was her first time riding a bicycle. When she got married, she took the bus and then walked. She didn't even have a bicycle to pick her up.

It was my first time riding a bicycle and I was a little nervous.

Seeing Qin Huairu getting on the bicycle, Lu Zhenyuan kicked off and jumped out.

Qin Huairu was caught off guard and leaned back. She was so scared that she thought she was going to fall. She quickly leaned forward, pressed against Lu Zhenyuan's tiger back, and put her arms around his waist.

After she reacted and relaxed a little, she couldn't help but reach out and patted her lightly, saying in a scolding tone: "Do you want to scare my sister-in-law to death? Do you want to see my sister-in-law laugh?"

Lu Zhenyuan did not reply, but pushed harder and harder, allowing Qin Huairu to experience the feeling of speeding at lightning speed.

Qin Huairu was so frightened that she was afraid of being thrown off, so she held on tightly and didn't dare to let go.
