Siheyuan: If you ruin the reputation of the whole courtyard, I will move out

Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were both panicked and quickly helped the old lady sit on the sofa.

After taking the medicine, Li Suhua recovered a little after a while. He frowned and said to Zhang Yu:

"Bingkun, your sister has had a hard time these past few years. She has suffered no less than you. Since we are siblings, why are we making things so awkward?"

Zhang Yu understood that although he was happy just now, he also broke his mother's heart. What the elderly can't stand the most is the quarrels between children, especially when it happens in front of them.

To apologize to his mother, Zhang Yu said to Li Suhua: "Mom, really, I shouldn't have lost control of my temper." He was thinking about Li Suhua's health and could only bow his head temporarily.

Li Suhua looked at Zhou Rong again and said earnestly, "Rong'er, during the years you were away, the family relied on Kun'er and Juan'er to take care of us. Kun'er played a big role in our stable life now. I hope you can remember this."

However, Zhou Rong did not seem to realize her own problem and pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. How could Li Suhua not understand her daughter's thoughts? She could not help but tap her shoulder gently:

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had a cerebral hemorrhage, which prevented Kun'er from going to college. They have put so much effort into your daughter without any regrets. You can't blame them like this."

Zhou Rong rubbed the place where she was hit. Although she was still dissatisfied, Feng Huacheng immediately stopped her from speaking:

"Mom, I'm sorry. Zhou Rong might really be exhausted, and that's why she said something that upset you. We were wrong this time, please forgive us, brother."

Afterwards, Feng Huacheng said respectfully to Zhang Yu: "I'm sorry, I apologize on behalf of Zhou Rong and thank you for taking such good photos of Yaya."

With Feng Hua's concession and considering Li Suhua's health, Zhang Yu could only swallow his anger reluctantly.

Although Zhou Rong was holding a grudge and felt that Li Suhua favored Zhang Yu, she stopped trying to refute after being persuaded by Feng Hua.

Seeing that the family atmosphere had calmed down temporarily, Li Suhua said nothing more and looked at her daughter with concern:

"Rong'er, haven't you had dinner yet?"

Zhou Rong subconsciously touched her stomach and realized that she was indeed a little hungry. She had not noticed this during the argument just now.

Then, Li Suhua said to Zhang Yu, "Bingkun, go to the kitchen and see if there are any steamed buns left."

In the face of Li Suhua, even though he was extremely reluctant, Zhang Yu could only accept them to have dinner together: "You can stay here after dinner. There are plenty of houses. It won't be a problem to sleep for a night."

In order to promote harmonious coexistence between the siblings, Li Suhua hopes to take this opportunity to let her daughter get closer to Zhang Yu: "They are all my own flesh and blood. There is no hurdle that we cannot overcome. What does staying overnight mean?"

Zhou Rong responded quietly, "I'm afraid they won't be willing to accept it."

Feng Huacheng frowned slightly and touched Zhou Rong with his hand to remind her, with a slightly reproachful tone: "It's better to stop complaining and don't make mom angry."

Seeing Li Suhua's face gradually darkening, Zhou Rong quickly added, "Mom, I didn't mean that. I see there are a lot of people living here, and it might be inconvenient for us to stay."

"Besides, we have many houses, so Huacheng and I should just go back to Guangzi tablets!" Zhou Rong said firmly.

Li Suhua said with a cold face: "There is no heating in Guangzi Pian, you will freeze to death. Here the heating is sufficient, even if you sleep on the ground you won't feel cold. Huacheng should be envious."

With a little envy in his eyes, Feng Huacheng looked around at the living environment - Zhang Yu's house was not only spacious, but also beautiful and warm. They had been sweating for so long. Feng Huacheng thought to himself: He dreamed of having such a house.

However, out of unwillingness to endure the grievances at home, Zhou Rong still stubbornly responded:

"Mom, I've been away from home for many years and I miss home so much that I want to go to Guangzi Pian even if it's cold."

At this moment, Zhang Yu came out of the kitchen with steamed buns. Hearing Zhou Rong's words, he smiled coldly and continued:

"Since you want to live in Guangzipian so much, just let them go back there. Guoqing and Ganchao live nearby, you can lend them some charcoal." As he said this, he was obviously creating problems for the siblings.

After hesitating for a moment, thinking that their emotions had not yet calmed down, Li Suhua agreed with Zhang Yu's point of view: After all, it is indeed inappropriate to live together when you are angry.

"In that case, mother won't force you. But remember to borrow some coal from Guoqing and the others to warm up the kang first. Otherwise, someone might freeze to death at night." Li Suhua held Zhou Rong's hand and said softly.

"Okay, I remember. Yueyue will also go home and reunite with us tonight!" Zhou Rong wanted to spend more time with her daughter, hoping to use this opportunity to deepen their relationship and restore intimacy between mother and daughter.

Li Suhua said worriedly, "Looking at your daughter's appearance, I'm afraid she may not be willing to come back with you. It's freezing outside, and it's not convenient for everyone if you bring the child back. Yueyue should stay here tonight and come back early tomorrow morning. Let her feel more warmth, and maybe once she gets familiar with you, the relationship will improve naturally."

Zhou Rong looked at Feng Huacheng. Although she was very reluctant to be separated from her child, she also understood that Li Suhua was right. "Then we'll follow your arrangement and come back tomorrow morning." She said this helplessly.

Li Suhua smiled as she took Yueyue to the dining table. What happened just now delayed everyone's meal, so now was a good opportunity for them to make up for it together.

Mother Zheng, Zheng Guangming and Zhang Yu all lost interest in eating. Zheng Juan was trying to comfort Feng Yue to sleep, leaving Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng alone. The food on the table surprised them: there were rich meat dishes and wine, delicacies that were rarely available during the Chinese New Year.

"Mom, do you always eat so well like this?" Zhou Rong picked up the steamed bun, but her eyes fell on the braised chicken, and she couldn't help but her Adam's apple moving up and down.

Li Suhua said playfully, "Bingkun said that now that life has improved, we don't have to be frugal all the time, and we should make sure our family has enough food to eat every day. Look, there should be enough meat on the table." As she spoke, she picked up a chicken leg and put it on her daughter's plate.

Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were both silent.

After a sumptuous dinner at Zhang's house, Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng returned to the old house. As soon as they entered the door, they couldn't help shivering - the house was unusually cold because no one had been there for several days, and the minus 30 degrees outside didn't make the indoor situation much better.

Zhou Rong hurried to the next door to borrow coal from Xiao Guoqing. Xiao Guoqing was quite surprised to see her come back. "Sister Zhou Rong, why are you back? Aren't you going to stay there?" he asked out of pure curiosity.

Zhou Rong was slightly embarrassed and replied, "That place is too small, so we'll just come back and stay for two days."

"Can't squeeze in?" Xiao Guoqing was puzzled. "I remember that Bingkun's house had five rooms."

At this time, Xiao Guoqing's wife Wu Qian gently touched his ear. "What are you talking about?" Wu Qian was a little annoyed, but her voice was not small.

Xiao Guoqing looked at her in confusion. "I just want to give her some coal," he said, turning around to get some coal, and even enthusiastically helping to heat the kang.

The room gradually became warmer because of the fire, but it was not as comfortable as the indoor heater in Zhang's house. "Brother Guoqing, thank you so much! How much is this charcoal? Please take it." Zhou Rong took out a few bills and handed them over.

Xiao Guoqing hurriedly pushed the money back: "How can we let Sister Zhou Rong spend money? It's a blessing for us to use Bingkun's house. We don't owe a penny."

After saying that, he left. After returning to the room, Wu Qian said while cracking melon seeds: "Everyone is back!"

Xiao Guoqing brushed off the snowflakes on his body and said unhappily, "Sister Zhou Rong is really something. She chose to return to her hometown instead of living in a nice house?"

Wu Qian laughed coldly: "You really can't tell? She must have been kicked out."

Xiao Guoqing was surprised: "Impossible! Bingkun couldn't do that."

Wu Qian snorted disdainfully: "I heard it, it's about the university quota, Bingkun gave up because of his sister Zhou Rong."

Xiao Guoqing knew the reason why Zhang Yu did not go to college. "He never took college seriously. I don't think he would resent Sister Zhou Rong for this!"

Wu Qian glanced at him with disdain: "That's college. If it were you, would you not care? You infatuated boy."

Chapter 378 Xiao Guoqing thought about it and it was true. The label of college student was still very popular at that time.

"Zhou Bingkun said on the surface that he didn't care, but for the sake of the old man, he hated his sister in his heart. Wu Qian could see through it." Wu Qian seemed to have seen through everything.

Xiao Guoqing sighed: "Forget it, we can't interfere in other people's family affairs."

Wu Qian then said, "You have to be more careful. We are staying at the Zhou family's house. If Zhou Rong moves back to his hometown after Zhou Laoda returns home, where will he live?"

Xiao Guoqing said nonchalantly: "Bingkun has many houses, so it doesn't matter where we live."

However, Wu Qian's tone was quite dissatisfied: "Are you stupid? What if Zhou Bingyi really comes back and there is not enough room? Will Bingkun let us live here forever?"

Xiao Guoqing understood something after hearing this.

"Wu Qian, what do you want to say? Our temporary stay is only until the Chinese New Year, and we have to go back after the New Year." Xiao Guoqing said decisively and clearly.

Wu Qian rolled her eyes: "Zhou Bingkun himself hasn't urged us yet, so we can stay a little longer, what's the rush?"

"The fact that they are willing to let us live here is a sign of friendship. You should know how to repay a favor." Xiao Guoqing said sternly, "You have to get out of my house after the Chinese New Year."

After hearing these words, Wu Qian was so angry that she threw away the melon seeds and cursed: "Marrying you is the worst thing in my life! If you had half the ability of Zhou Bingkun, I wouldn't be jealous of his house."

Xiao Guoqing was so angry that he stood up and said, "Why don't you look at yourself? If you were half as capable and virtuous as Zheng Juan, we would have had our own house long ago."

The couple quarreled all the time, and the noise even penetrated the wall and reached the ears of Sun Ganchao and Yu Hong in the next house.

Originally, Zhang Yu generously rented one of his rooms to them for the New Year, so that they could live in separate rooms without disturbing each other.

But the walls of the Zhang family's adobe house were not soundproof, so whenever they argued, the Sun family could hear it clearly.

Yu Hong noticed the quarrel and pulled Sun Ganchao: "I heard Guoqing and the others quarreling again. Do you want to go over and appease them?"

Sun Ganchao spread his hands and said, "How can I persuade them? I have persuaded them before, but the couple quarreled but they were fine the next day. I am speechless."

Yu Hong sat down and analyzed: "From Wu Qian's tone, it seems that they don't plan to return the house after the Spring Festival."

Sun Ganchao looked at Yu Hong in confusion and asked, "Do you think so too? Do you want to stay here too?"

Yu Hong lowered her head and thought for a moment, and actually had the same idea in her mind.

Sun Ganchao's situation is the same as Xiao Guoqing's. His family is squeezed into the only house, even the children and the elders live together. Now they are eager to enjoy a short family privacy space in Zhang Yu's home.

Frankly speaking, she was still quite hesitant about asking Yu Hong to return the house.

Sun Ganchao understood his wife's thoughts and looked back at her with a burning light in his eyes: "Yu Hong, you have to know that Zhou Bingkun lent us the house, which is evidence that he cherishes our friendship.

If we refuse to give it back, we lose that feeling.”

Hearing this, Yu Hong sighed: "I know you are telling the truth, but I really hope that we can have a home of our own someday."

Sun Ganchao sighed and hugged his lover tightly: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault that you have to suffer."

Yu Hong's eyes were slightly red. "I don't dislike you. I just sometimes wonder how someone like Bing Kun can be so capable."
