Chapter 292 Everyone’s Thoughts

While He Yuzhu was still thinking about Lou Xiaoe who shouldn't be in the courtyard at this time,
Why does it appear in the Siheyuan?

Why did Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng, who should not have had any contact with Lou Xiao'e at this time, get to know Lou Xiao'e?
Several neighbors in the middle courtyard were cooking at home and looking at the situation in the yard through the windows.

Jia Zhang was sitting on the kang, sewing the soles of shoes, while she gloated to Qin Huairu who was cooking and Jia Dongxu who was playing tricks on her.

"Hahaha, Zhuzi is back.

Now Xu Fugui, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's wishful thinking will definitely not work."

As the situation changed, at the beginning of this year, Lou Zhenhua brought his family to the courtyard to pay New Year's greetings to the deaf old lady.
From then on, Lou Xiao'e often went to the courtyard to visit the deaf old lady.
But she was too well protected before, and she was a simple person.

So it didn't take long for those cunning people in Siheyuan to trick a lot of information out of them.

Therefore, all the neighbors in the courtyard knew that Lou Zhenhua wanted to find a man with a government background for Lou Xiaoe.
However, even though Lou Zhenhua was the president of the Peking Federation of Industry and Commerce,
He can be considered as one of the Executive Yuan's own people.
But he is a businessman after all.

Most of the young people in their 20s with official backgrounds do not want to have anything to do with their family, for fear of affecting their future.

So even though Lou Xiao'e often attended dances held by various departments under the State Council,
Can't find a suitable one either.

After learning about this situation, Xu Fugui and his wife were the first to take action.

But it was different from before. Lou Xiao'e often went in and out of the courtyard now, so the Xu family's behavior naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of the neighbors in the courtyard.

Leng Xiaoshuo and Yan Bugui, who were also greedy for the Lou family's property, naturally made Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng follow suit.

During this half year,
The three families had a lot of trouble, both overtly and covertly.

It was because Li Hongying lived in the courtyard that they still maintained superficial harmony, otherwise they would have been in big trouble long ago.

Qin Huairu knew that her mother-in-law actually had feelings for Lou Xiaoe.

Ever since she learned about the Lou family's situation, Jia Zhang often sighed behind her back, muttering that if only Jia Dongxu had gotten married later, he might have become the Lou family's son-in-law.

But she was a country girl, and she was lucky enough to marry into the city.

Naturally, I didn't dare to bring these things up at this time.
I can only endure it silently.

In other words, Jia Dongxu treated her well and did not take Jia Zhang's words seriously, otherwise the couple might have divorced.

Now, hearing Jia Zhang mocking Xu Fugui and the other three families for daydreaming, Qin Huairu also forced a smile.

Somewhat surprised, he echoed Jia Zhang and said,
"Mom, this can't be possible!

Zhuzi was a battalion commander in the army, and now he is a chef at Fengze Garden. He is half a government official.
He may not be interested in Lou Xiao'e, the eldest daughter of a merchant family!"

While Qin Huairu was cooking, Jia Zhang glanced at her with some disdain, then shook her head and said,
"This is what you don't understand, Huairu.
Why do you think Director Lou came to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady at the beginning of this year? Why did Lou Xiao'e often come to the courtyard this year?

Is it true that the Lou family values ​​this lonely old lady so much?

If that's the case, why did you just give money to the old lady every year in the past few years, but only come to pay her New Year's greetings this year? "Hearing Jia Zhang's question, Qin Huairu thought about it and then asked,

"It can't be because of the pillars,
I remember that Zhuzi has been the battalion commander for two years. If they were here for this reason, they would have come a long time ago!"

Seeing that Qin Huairu was unwilling to believe what she said, Jia Zhang smiled and pointed it out.

"It's because of the pillars.
The Lou family didn’t come to pay New Year’s greetings to the old lady before because the fighting was intense on the front lines and Zhuzi, a small battalion commander, might die any day.

But last July, the war on the peninsula was stopped.
Zhuzi, the battalion commander of the army, survived intact and now he is old enough to find a partner and get married sooner or later.

The Lou family is attracted by Zhuzi's conditions. No matter how well Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng perform, they will still be ranked behind Zhuzi.

As for whether the pillar is willing or not,

Just look at Lou Xiao'e's appearance, and then look at the old lady and He Daqing's attitude towards Lou Xiao'e, and you will understand.
It’s only a matter of time.”

After hearing Jia Zhang's analysis, Qin Huairu thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed to be true.

Zhuzi will only be a chef at Fengze Garden from now on, so he is still somewhat different from those officials.
Even if he married Lou Xiao'e, it would not have any impact on his future.

Besides, Lou Xiao'e is not bad looking and her family is quite wealthy. If the deaf old lady and He Daqing talk to her often, this matter might really come to pass.

When Qin Huairu thought of this, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Look at Lou Xiao'e, the eldest daughter of a merchant family, and then look at myself, a rural girl.

In addition to his poor background,
The family conditions, appearance, and age cannot be compared, and even the man you marry may be as different as heaven and earth in the end.

Thinking about how Jia Zhang often plotted against her behind her back, Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel powerless.

I don't even want to compliment this mother-in-law.

However, Jia Zhang was immersed in her own thoughts at this time and didn't pay attention to Qin Huairu at all, let alone know what she was thinking.
Just venting my emotions.
"God is really blind. After three years of fighting on the peninsula, so many people died, but how come Zhuzi came back alive and well?
If he died on the battlefield, wouldn't it be easier for us neighbors in the future?
It’s not like now, where I have to keep everything to myself.”

Hearing Jia Zhang cursing He Yuzhu for not dying sooner, Jia Dongxu, who had been silent the whole time, was immediately startled.
"Mom, please keep your voice down.
If Zhuzi and the others heard what you said, our family would be in trouble. Second Master, Uncle Xu, and Uncle Yan would definitely take advantage of the situation to make things worse."

After hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Qin Huairu also reacted at this time and immediately followed up and said,

"mom!

Director Li is still living in the courtyard, so you should just stay quiet."

Jia Dongxu and his wife were shocked, but Jia Zhang herself waved her hand without caring at all.

"What are you afraid of?
Director Li is Director Li and Zhuzi is Zhuzi, how can they be the same?

After all, I am the elder who watched Zhuzi grow up. Can he really beat me up?
If he really dares to hit me, not only the old lady and He Daqing, but also many old people in Nanluoguxiang will not agree. "
