Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 288

Xu Huizhen was relieved. It was just that Fan Jinyou was talking nonsense, so it wouldn't harm He Yuzhu and he wouldn't have to go to jail.

Xu Huizhen picked up the teacup and said politely, "Please have some tea."

This was the standard procedure for serving tea and seeing guests off. Fan Jinyou, of course, knew this rule and said, "Boss lady, think about it carefully. He Yuzhu is keeping a woman outside. Will there still be a place for you in the house in the future?"

After saying that, he took his leave.

He Yuzhu returned home quickly. Xiangye opened the door and said anxiously, "Brother He, Fan Jinyou came to complain today, saying that you are keeping a mistress outside, it's Chen Xueru. The boss's wife is very angry."

He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard this.

This Fan Jinyou actually went to Xu Huizhen's house and talked nonsense; he's asking for trouble.

“He’s just talking nonsense. Don’t listen to him. How could I do anything to betray your sister-in-law?”

“I also believe you won’t do anything reckless outside, but Fan Jinyou’s story is so convincing, you’d better go inside and explain to the landlady.”

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Thank you, I'll go right away."

In the inner room, Xu Hui was resting on the headboard. When she saw He Yuzhu come in, she turned around to face the inside.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" He Yuzhu asked.

"No, don't you know what you've done?" Xu Huizhen said without turning her head.

"I've done many things, which one are you asking about?"

"Don't play dumb with me, I don't believe Xiangye didn't tell you just now."

He Yuzhu scratched his head sheepishly and said, "You mean Fan Jinyou is just talking nonsense. He'd love for us to fall out."

"I don't think so. I don't think it's just a rumor."

"How can you not believe me? There's nothing between me and Chen Xueru. This is retaliation. I took away his cadre status."

"What? What do you mean by that?" Master Xu Hui turned to face He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu said, "I'm not just reporting the situation to the street director. Many other people also have opinions about Fan Jinyou, and they have all reported their opinions to the street director. Today, Fan Jinyou will no longer serve as a cadre in the street and will be transferred to work in the neighborhood committee."

He secretly wished he could tear Fan Jinyou to pieces, but he never expected that Fan would go home and talk nonsense to his wife.

It seems I was too lenient with him. I had originally thought that if he would behave himself and cooperate seriously, I wouldn't mind letting him off the hook and letting him take on the role of the company manager.

In retrospect, appointing him as the general manager was far too lenient on him.

Xu Huizhen said, "I believe he has no evidence and is talking nonsense."

"My wife is so good," He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Xu Huizhen said, "Stop grinning at me. Don't think that just because he has no evidence, I believe you and Chen Xueru are innocent."

He Yuzhu forced a wronged look: "Wife, you're framing me."

"Whether I'm framing you or I'm telling the truth, I just want to tell you that if you're having an affair in the future, you need to be careful and not let others find out."

"I don't have a wife."

"If you hadn't been cheating on me, would you have stayed with me like this every night while we slept?"

The couple had been married for many years, so Xu Huijun certainly knew what kind of person He Yuzhu was.

He had so much energy that he wanted sex almost every day when he wasn't pregnant.

He was so exhausted that he finally asked Huizhi to help him share the burden.

Now that both he and Huizhi are pregnant, He Yuzhu has become unusually well-behaved.

He only asks me to help him occasionally; otherwise, he's very well-behaved at night.

Xu Huizhen would never believe that He Yuzhu hadn't cheated on her.

He Yuzhu said, "Wife, aren't you already pregnant? That's why I haven't been bothering you. How about you help me every night?"

"Don't give me that. Chen Xueru is a widow and doesn't plan to remarry. I won't say anything if you get together with her."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Didn't Xu Zhaodi next door want to marry you before? Now she's a widow. If you want to, I won't object."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't this damaging someone's reputation?"

"Anyway, this is my stance: I don't object to you getting involved with other widows outside, but you can't bring them home, you can't seduce other people's wives, and you definitely can't seduce unmarried young girls, otherwise something bad will happen one day."

"Where can I have it?"

"Anyway, I don't care anymore, whatever you want."

Xu Huizhen said, "I'll treat Chen Xueru to dinner later."

"No, don't meddle. They're busy every day. This is about to become a joint public-private enterprise."

"Forget it, whatever you want."

Xu Huizhen didn't bring up the topic again. Her attitude was clear: as long as they didn't cause trouble or make any accidents, it would be fine.

Anyway, out of sight, out of mind, as long as I don't stay at home, it's fine.

Huizhi is his cousin, they grew up together. He could tolerate her being with He Yuzhu, but he couldn't stand it if she brought other women home.

He Yuzhu knew that women were fickle. Even if they seemed reasonable now, if he admitted it honestly, they would bring it up and scold him whenever they argued.

Therefore, although Xu Huizhen spoke very frankly and generously, she still cannot admit it like that.

When evening came, He Yuzhu returned to the tavern and saw that there were only a few people eating and drinking.

Almost all of the old customers have stopped coming, and the tavern has been turned into a small restaurant.

Fan Jinyou, who was standing by the counter, was frowning when he saw He Yuzhu come in and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I even come to this tavern anymore?"

"you..."

Fan Jinyou was furious, but he didn't say much. He turned his head away and ignored He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu glanced at it, then turned and went back to his home without lingering.

"Why are you back again?"

"The liquor they sell is watered down, and the stir-fried dishes are awful. Neither Uncle Niu nor Uncle Pian are here. What am I still doing here? I might as well come back and sleep with my wife."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he took off his clothes, got into bed, and embraced Xu Huizhen, reaching out to find his haven of love.

"Stop teasing me, the doctor said it's not the right time yet."

"Is that not possible? You have other ideas, don't you?"

"No, they're sleepy. Go find someone else."

"You are my wife, I can only find you."

For several days in a row, the tavern's business got worse and worse. After the novelty wore off, it was considered good if two or three people came in a night.

That day, He Yuzhu was holding Xiu'er in the yard when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in, the door isn't closed."

To He Yuzhu's surprise, it was He Yumei who walked in.

He Yumei stood timidly as she entered, saying, "Hello, Brother He."

"Yu Mei, is there something you need?"

"No, there isn't a single customer ahead of us."

He Yumei then smiled and said, "This child is so cute, can I hold him?"

"Okay, here you go."

Then He Yuzhu coaxed Xiuer, saying, "Let Auntie hug you."

Xiuer was very puzzled. "Aunt? Isn't Aunt not this tall? She's quite thin."

However, she obediently let He Yumei hold her without crying, and reached out her little hand to scratch her face.

"This child is so beautiful, just like your sister-in-law."

He Yumei hugged him for a while, then chatted with He Yuzhu about everyday things.

Hearing a young girl's voice inside the house, Xu Huizhen couldn't help but come out.

"Pillar, who is this?"

Since the public-private partnership was established, Xu Huizhen had been pregnant and had not been to the front lines. This was the first time she had seen He Yumei.

"This is the new waitress, her name is He Yumei."

He Yumei bowed slightly: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

"You're too kind, Yu Mei. Come visit me anytime you have time."

Xu Huizhen asked, "You all have the surname He, are you all the same He?"

Some people may not know that each surname can be divided into many branches, because the ancestors may not be the same.

In the past, many people changed their surnames due to war and crime, and many people from other ethnic groups also changed their surnames because they admired the culture of the Central Plains.
