The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 237 Chen Xueru Enters the Quadrangle

As they were talking, Chen Xueru passed through the moon gate and her eyes lit up, her attention drawn to the courtyard in front of her.

She knew that no matter how poor Hou Jie was, his life would not be bad.

"This yard is really beautiful. The damn guy really knows how to enjoy himself. No wonder he doesn't allow me to come here."

"I knew you wouldn't be so honest. If you hadn't been in trouble, I wouldn't have realized you were hiding so deeply."

The godmother opened the door and led Chen Xueru in. She was quite familiar with the furnishings inside. It was similar to her parents-in-law's house, and it was obvious that Hou Jie designed it himself.

She didn't look anywhere else and went straight to the study.

The bookshelves in the entire room were filled with books densely and neatly arranged, and a few musical instruments were scattered against the corners.

No matter where Hou Jie is, he will stay in his study, writing and drawing. He spends the most time here.

Seeing the familiar scene, Chen Xueru couldn't help but fall into deep thought, recalling her sweet life in the past.

I also feel a little regretful about my decision to divorce.

Thinking of Mu Chunhua and others again, she shook her head in annoyance and stubbornly extinguished the idea that had just come to her mind.

The godmother looked at Chen Xueru and couldn't help but sigh: "Ah! Xueru, it turns out that you are the only ones who understand him best. This child likes to stay in the study all day long. Whenever he has free time, he reads books, sings songs or writes something here. As for what he writes every day, I have no idea at all! Every time I ask him, he just says he is writing a song, but I know nothing about these things."

At this point, the godmother shook her head helplessly.

She went on to complain, "Besides, this child just stays at home all day and doesn't even want to go out. Even if we drive him out for a walk, it's useless. I really don't know what he's thinking!"

"He has a job, but he's absent from work every other day and stays at home all day. I'm really worried that he's ruined his job."

Chen Xueru nodded slightly and responded softly, "That's right, godmother, this is indeed Brother Chunsheng's habit. According to him, he is more of a 'homebody' and doesn't like to go out for social activities."

After hearing this, the godmother smiled bitterly and continued, "Xue Ru! You should keep the key to this house! Lao Yi in our family has been nagging me to lend this house to the Jia family every day. His heart has long been leaning towards that side, almost to the point of being crooked! It's like he's possessed by a demon. I really can't stand his nagging, so I dare not take over the key no matter what."

As she spoke, the godmother handed the key in her hand to Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru frowned slightly, and after thinking about it secretly, she finally reached out to take the key. She opened her red lips and said softly, "Well! Godmother, when Hou Jie comes back, please let me know and I will give you the address. If you have nothing to do, you may as well come to my place and accompany my little Wen Kuier. After all, he is Chunsheng's flesh and blood."

The godmother was overjoyed when she heard this, and quickly responded, "Is that true? That's great! This hateful fellow hid you so well, as if he was afraid that others would compete with him for you. Even I, your godmother, was kept in the dark and didn't hear a word of it at all."

Then he sighed, "If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. You are so beautiful, so he would naturally hide you. According to Chunsheng's personality, he would feel that he has suffered a great loss if other men look at you. Tell me, am I right, Xueru?"

Chen Xueru's pretty face turned red when she was teased by her godmother. After shyly taking the key, she immediately found a piece of paper from her bag, and then wrote quickly. In a moment, she had written a string of words and handed it to her godmother.

"Come on, godmother, let's go meet the Jia family. How dare they set their sights on my house? Sister Chunhua can tolerate this, but I, Chen Xueru, cannot."

"Xue Ru, why don't you reconsider it? Jia Zhang is not a good person. She has no shame. You are so delicate and weak, I am afraid you will suffer."

The godmother looked anxious. Seeing Chen Xueru's coquettish appearance, she knew she was not the type to fight. If she argued with a shrew, she would definitely fail. So the godmother told her about Jia Zhang's physique, appearance, nickname, and usual battle record.

After hearing this, Chen Xueru's worldview exploded, and her heart was shaken. She became curious about this Jia Zhang. No wonder Hou Jie didn't let her come here. This turned out to be the main reason. If she hadn't come to find him, she wouldn't have known all this.

I thought unconvincedly, "Am I so delicate? Humph..."

But strangely, a hint of joy arose in my heart.

She walked slowly to the middle courtyard, stopped in front of the slightly old door of Jia's house, and then shouted without hesitation. The sound was clear and loud, and instantly spread throughout the courtyard. After hearing the shout, the adults and children who were originally scattered everywhere gathered together curiously, and cast their eyes on this graceful and beautiful woman. They whispered to each other, full of doubts and expectations about her behavior.

Not long after, Jia Zhang rushed out of the house in a hurry. She was now more and more bloated, like a huge barrel, almost occupying half the width of the door, and was much fatter than before.

As soon as she saw the newcomer, Jia Zhang started to curse, "You shameless little whore, what are you yelling about! Humph, I've heard of your great name a long time ago, and it really is well-deserved! Look at your seductive appearance, you are just like a seductive little goblin, and I'm sure you are also a fickle and unruly person outside!"

A series of vulgar words gushed out of Jia Zhang's vicious mouth like a string of cannonballs. In just one sentence, Chen Xueru seemed to have suffered four heavy blows, and the whole person was dizzy.

This was the first time in her life that she felt so vividly the power of a shrew's scolding, and she couldn't help feeling aggrieved and angry.

The adults and children around had different reactions when they saw this. Some were secretly happy to see Chen Xueru suffer a setback, with a gloating look on their faces;

Others felt sympathy for Chen Xueru and were indignant at the humiliation she suffered.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the middle courtyard was extremely tense, and everyone's emotions fluctuated accordingly.

The ones who were happy were naturally the women. They were angry when they saw a beautiful woman entering the yard, and she was a young lady at that.

"Yes! My family can't afford such a daughter-in-law. Although Chunsheng is not good enough, I can't resist his handsomeness! There is no point in being jealous. This kind of pretty boy is the most popular with girls."
