Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Chapter 2174 Not Changing the Surname Means It's Still the Jia Family

Evening

Lin Chen had just returned to the courtyard house

Qiangzi rushed over: "Brother Lin, Jia Zhangshi is missing? I had a fight with her last night, and she went to Liu Shuaiyin's house to fool around... I was too late when I went looking for her today, and now I don't know where she's gone! I was so angry that I beat that guy up..."

Qiangzi came to the old man for help not because he was really worried about Jia Zhangshi, but because he was frightened by Jia Dongxu and his wife.

At noon, he almost got into a fight with Yan Bugui and Xu Kesi at the gate of Hongxing Elementary School. As a result, those two went home and started egging Ma Lan on. This infuriated Qiangzi...

After Jia Zhangshi was chased away by Qiangzi, Jia Dongxu and his wife naturally went to him to demand her return. They didn't care about Liu Shuaiyin or Wang Dana. All they wanted was for him to find their mother; otherwise, they wouldn't let the matter rest.

Although Qiangzi also wanted to kick Jia Zhangshi to death, the reason was naturally that she herself had been giving away her underwear everywhere. She even falsely accused him of stealing it. However, even if he wanted to settle accounts with her, he had to find the culprit first.

Lin Chen glanced at the West District and said, "Don't worry! She'll be fine. I heard about what happened between you two this morning. Every couple has their arguments, so calm down. Maybe she'll come back on her own tomorrow or the day after! As for that bastard Liu Shuaiyin you mentioned, he deserves it, don't be afraid of him. We have the evidence, what are we afraid of! Besides, even if she doesn't change her surname, she's still considered part of the Jia family, so your Zhu family has even less to fear."

Lin Chen thought to himself, "Jia Zhangshi is busy right now! You don't need to worry about her. If she doesn't have a fight with you, she really won't be able to go out to keep her appointment."

“Brother Lin, that’s what I think too, but you have to put in a good word for me with Ma Lan. If they can’t see Jia Zhangshi, they’ll definitely cause me trouble again. And Third Uncle and Xu Keshi are no good either; just because I didn’t help them, they’re making things difficult for me…”

Logically, with Ma Lan pregnant, Jia Dongxu should be the only one handling the situation. Qiangzi shouldn't be afraid of him and the Liu family, but the arena match is imminent. Yang Weimin doesn't want to have any unpleasantness with the Liu family. So he tells Qiangzi to be patient for now…

"Fine! I'll go talk to them, okay? All you ever do is cause trouble for your family."

Now that Lin Chen has agreed to mediate, Qiangzi can finally eat dinner in peace. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare sleep at home tonight, fearing that Jia Dongxu and his wife would come knocking on his door demanding his mother.

"Thank you, Brother Lin! Thank you so much! Our courtyard is all thanks to you for upholding justice, otherwise it would have been in complete chaos long ago."

Lin Chen thought to himself, "You guys come from over a dozen different groups. If I hadn't been killed, I would have moved out long ago! Who the hell would dare to play with so many of you..."

The other side of Sijiu City

Feng Shigao also learned of the duel between the Yang and Ji families, though not firsthand. But at least he got the news!

Qi Weiyi is no longer in charge of delivering messages, so the matter of the Yang family and the Ji family competing in the arena is naturally passed on to Feng Shigao by Qi Wei.

Now Feng Shigao is dragging his wife along to drink with him...

For him and Factory Director Ma, the fact that these two companies are going to work together would be a huge boon.

Although Liu Shuyue married into the Feng family, she remained under Lin Chen's control. Fortunately, Lin Chen never made things difficult for her, and she was living a comfortable life.

Actually, as long as someone is obedient, Lin Chen hasn't made things difficult for anyone. But it's a different story for those who are disobedient! The Lin family runs a pharmacy, not a charity!

"I can't drink, you drink it yourself! I haven't gotten my period this month, and Mom says I might be pregnant!"

Feng Shigao's mother is the head of the gynecology department at a major hospital, so she is quite confident about this matter.

This made Feng Shigao extremely happy!

"That's wonderful! Secretary Lin's medical skills are amazing; your stomach started moving right after you took the medicine. I'm going to thank him tomorrow..."

Feng Shigao wanted a son, so he had to ask Lin Chen for a prescription.

Now that he's practically begging Lin Chen to take advantage of him, they naturally can't let him off the hook. The Feng family is practically a fat sheep...

"We should thank them. I noticed that you're much more energetic after taking the pills that Secretary Lin prescribed!"

Feng Shigao burst into laughter; he knew it even without his wife saying so. The difference was already obvious a few days earlier when he was dealing with Li Huaide at Dongzhimen.

"Secretary Lin is off work today. I heard his wife is about to give birth! You and Mom should go visit her in a few days... and bring some gifts."

Feng Shigao was celebrating a double celebration today, and he drank a little wine to mark the occasion.

……

While Feng Shigao and his wife in Dongcheng District were thinking about how to thank the Lin family, Li Huaide in Xicheng District was still waiting for revenge.

After getting off work, Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang headed straight to the West District. They told the people in the compound that they were going to have drinks with their fellow apprentices from the heavy machinery factory.

Xiao Hu also told them to be careful, and the two guys, feeling guilty, readily agreed to be safe.

And so, these two lads made their way through the alleyways to the West District. Now they dared not walk on the main roads! They were afraid of running into Chang Hanqing's men and the people from the courtyard houses…

"Tongzi, let's find a place to eat and drink our fill first. How about this meal is on me?"

To thank Tongzhi for taking him out for some excitement, Dazhuang dragged him out for drinks and food.

The two guys were kindred spirits and soon found a small restaurant to have a drink.

"Da Zhuang, let's drink less, lest we get into trouble. Let's see how that bastard Jia Dongxu will act so arrogantly starting tomorrow..."

"Alright, alright, two ounces each is fine, right? It won't interfere with my skills tonight..."

Both guys were self-aware, so they decided to focus on banter today. Otherwise, they'd be wasting their money!

……

Courtyard house

Lin Chen left with two bags of clothes and baby supplies. Now everyone in the compound knows that Qin Huairu and her daughter are safe.

Everyone was waiting for Director Bai's son to be born, so they would have a perfect reason to visit him.

In the courtyard house, the banquet is free, but visiting is required. There are precedents for this; for example, when Qiao Zuwang was first defeated and Xiao Changgong was hospitalized, the entire ward visited him. Even Jia Zhangshi paid for the visit… so this time is even more so!

As a result, Lin Chen encountered an old man and a young boy as soon as he stepped out of the gate...

The grandfather and granddaughter were dressed in clothes patched upon patched, and the little girl's toes were even sticking out of her cloth shoes. They were clearly refugees fleeing famine…

"Comrade, is this courtyard number 95? Does someone named Wang Liansheng live here? We are his relatives..."

Lin Chen had just scanned the grandfather and grandson and asked the system how they ended up here. It turns out they had some kind of entanglement with Ye Juan in Xinjiang…

Since it involves his wife, he can't ignore it. After all, he's the one who stole Ye Juan away...

"Yes, old man, once you go in, you can find out where he lives by asking around."

As Lin Chen spoke, he stuffed a few White Rabbit milk candies into the poor little girl's hands. Her hands and face were dirty, but her big eyes were still bright…

Lin Chen doesn't care about other people's karma, but he definitely has to deal with his little wife Ye Juan's karma.

"Are you hungry? Here's some candy, have it... Now that we're in Beijing, we have a home!"
