Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Chapter 2269 The Lou family does not produce grain; the Lou family only acts as porters.

three days later

Commander Li left Beijing with resentment, but the feud between the children of the hutongs and the children of the compound only intensified.

Lin Chen has stated several times that as long as adults don't interfere, it's just child's play, nothing more. He himself will never intervene...

Moreover, with Zhou Xiaobai changing classes, Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong, and a few others became even more temperamental than Li Yuanchao.

They didn't dare confront the Zhou family about why they had changed their daughter's class, so they blamed the gang of thugs in the courtyard.

Zhong Yuemin believed that if Zhou Xiaobai hadn't been tricked by the Siheyuan gang last time, he wouldn't have changed classes for no reason. And now he's ignoring him... It's all the Siheyuan people's fault.

Now that Hao Dongmei has arrived, Zhou Xiaobai no longer plays with Luo Yun and Li Fang!

After all, this girl shared a bed with Hao Dongmei every day, and their conversations were much more explicit. The bond between them was something Luo Yun's female classmates couldn't compare to...

Now, not only have the children's conflicts escalated again, but the adults are also not idle.

After lying in bed for three days, Jia Zhangshi is finally able to slowly get out of bed... Qiangzi hasn't been riding his tricycle these past few days, since he has to take care of two people at the same time.

After Jia Zhangshi was able to get out of bed today, Qiangzi finally entrusted the little monkey to her care. He went out early in the morning on his tricycle...

Qiangzi was in such a hurry mainly because Jia Zhangshi kept nagging about how she could scam Wang Baye after the fake divorce. Qiangzi also needed to find a way out for himself, so he thought of He Yufen, Dazhuang's wife.

This guy saw that Cui Dake, Yan Jiecheng, and Nan Yi were all able to steal women from each other, so he wanted to try too. If Jia Zhangshi was determined to divorce him, he'd make sure she never came back.

In the steel rolling mill

Liao Yimei has been overseeing the assembly of the experimental machine every day, and now Lin Chen has taken her on a tour of Prince Gong's Mansion.

To secure this large house, Liao Yimei dared not be careless in the slightest. As long as the tank test was successful, the courtyard would be allocated to the steel mill as workers' dormitories. Then the Lin family would have another large courtyard, and there would be no worry about the little ones not having enough room to live.

Lin Chen sat in his office flipping through the latest newspapers and, sure enough, saw reports of heavy rain in the Huanghuai region.

In April of the lunar calendar, the winter wheat harvest in Huaihai Province is just around the corner, and the continuous heavy rains are not a good sign.

Lin Chen put down the newspaper and sighed, "It seems what's coming is bound to happen!"

Lin Chen stood up and left the office. The Lou family had sent people out so many years ago; it was time to give the important figures an explanation…

It's much easier to make a move now than next year or the year after, after all, it's only been 5 or 7 years.

The Lou family can't save the whole country. Now, we just need to fulfill the promise we made when we left back then! That way, Lin Chen will have an explanation to give to his superiors, and the Lou family will also have a good reputation.

As for how to relieve stress, Lin Chen felt that he needed to trick the Americans a little and fool the big brother a little.

The reason Lin Chen didn't kill the little monkey this time is because he hadn't fully exploited the kid's value yet.

With the three-year natural disaster period fast approaching, relying on the Big Brother's aid is not enough.

Lin Chen now wants to play both sides... and he wants the Americans to provide it willingly, since the Lou family doesn't produce grain. The Lou family only acts as a grain transporter, and this time he'll have to rely on the little monkey to report to his master.

Lin Chen will not, and does not want to, talk about his elder brother's abrupt withdrawal of the experts.

After all, there are no signs of a breakdown in the relationship yet. As for the three years of natural disasters and the coming winds... Lin Chen would not tell anyone that he was just a doctor, not a fortune teller.

While the general people and things in this world haven't changed much, there have certainly been subtle changes.

For example, the military compounds that were originally located in Xicheng District were moved to the current Dongcheng District!

……

Courtyard house

Lin Chen rarely comes home for lunch...

When he arrived at the gate of the little monkey in the west courtyard, he happened to see Jia Zhangshi carrying a chamber pot out for the other party.

When Madam Jia saw that it was Brother Lin returning, her initial look of disgust turned into a cheerful smile.

As for why Jia Zhangshi disliked him, it was mainly because the perfectly good young man had been beaten to a pulp again! She got angry just seeing that useless thing!

"Brother Lin, you're back! Sister-in-law, thank you for healing me. Otherwise, I would have been beaten to death by Li Daniu and the others."

Lin Chen waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up and send him away. Wasn't Qiangzi supposed to be taking care of him? Why are you here again!"

When Jia Zhangshi saw the other person's disgusted expression, she quickly hid the chamber pot behind her back, not daring to displease the person in front of her.

“We need to eat too, don’t we? Qiangzi is going to work as a tricycle driver today, and I’ll take care of the little monkey. Brother Lin, you go ahead with your work, I’ll bring the kid his food later.”

Jia Zhangshi picked up the chamber pot and left. Lin Chen smiled slightly as he watched the young man on the kang (a heated brick bed) crying his eyes out, looking utterly hopeless.

You didn't expect that, did you?! Plus-size care is much better than Qiangzi's!

Hearing the conversation at the door, the little monkey quickly wiped away the tears on his face.

"Uncle Lin, you've finally arrived! I thought I'd never see you again."

Before Lin Chen even entered the room, he heard the little monkey crying and whimpering.

Lin Chen needs this kid as a link to trick the Americans into handing over some food to the Lou family, so he still needs to appease him.

After all, Secretary Lin's greatest skill is using other people's things to do his own thing; this was true in Beijing, and it's still true abroad...

"What the hell are you crying about all day long, you big guy from Beijing? The people in the courtyard haven't laid a finger on you. People who don't know any better would think that the people in the courtyard are bullying you."

The little monkey cries every day because the people in the courtyard didn't touch him; it was the people he paid to beat him.

Sha Zhu and his friends have been visiting him every few days, and they bring up this matter every time they come. They've really nailed the emotional blow, and every time they do, Sha Zhu and his friends laugh until they're doubled over and their stomachs hurt before they leave.

It's no wonder the little monkey cried; who could stand being mocked by these people every day?

"Uncle Lin, I've already agreed to host two banquets! But Jia Dongxu and his gang still come to laugh at me every day. You have to do something about them!"

In Sha Zhu's words, as long as the little monkey hasn't apologized and treated everyone to a meal, everyone has the right to bring it up. Who told you to be a traitor? The people in the courtyard are already being more than kind by not beating you up, and you don't even want to say a few words? What's wrong with you! Do you think all the good things come to your Hou family?

Now that people living in courtyard houses are afraid to go to the hospital for recuperation, the little monkey can't avoid it even if it wants to.

At this moment, Lin Chen sat down and began to coax the little monkey.

"Comrade Hou Yongjie, don't worry, I'll talk to them tonight. These people are simply outrageous! It's good to admit your mistakes and correct them. Besides, you have made contributions; you were just confused for a moment. Let me check you out first!"

The little monkey felt a wave of relief when it heard Uncle Lin was going to warn them, knowing it would no longer be mocked by them.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin. I know I was wrong! I will do my best to cooperate with the organization in any way it needs me to do."
