Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 471

“He Yuzhu is indeed capable, but he just can’t control his lower body. I was firmly against sending you to work in the machinery factory.”

Lü Xiaomi said, "Mother, what's the use of talking about this anymore? I guess it's just my fate."

"You've suffered, my child," said Mother Lü helplessly. "He Yuzhu saved us this time, but it's too much for him to ask for this precious pill. What will you do for the rest of your life?"

Lü Xiaomi shook her head and said, "Mother, I can't get married like this, so I'll just live like this."

What he was thinking was that even without this incident, he had written a letter of allegiance, even though He Yuzhu was usually very polite and smiling.

But he would never give it back to me so easily.

If she wants to get married, she first has to get past He Yuzhu. Even if He Yuzhu lets go, what kind of person can she marry with her damaged body?

It would be better for me to remain faithful to He Yuzhu and spend my whole life with him.

Even though he was her only man, she still had ways to compare them.

The old women in the factory can't hold back when they start talking nonsense; they'll say anything and everything.

The topic of conversation in the bathroom is always the same: how someone else's man can't even last five minutes, or how another man is even worse, lasting only two minutes at most.

The first time, I naively asked, "Is it long or short for a man to go an hour without rest?"

One by one, the old women were saying that Lü Xiaomi was looking at some kind of handwritten copy.

That's all nonsense from books. If a man can do push-ups for ten minutes, it's because his ancestors' graves are emitting smoke and he's burning incense.

Only then did Lü Xiaomi realize that He Yuzhu's extraordinary talent was truly exceptional.

Lu's mother said, "Child, you have a long life ahead of you. If you're not willing, we'll give you more compensation and transfer you to another unit so you won't have any contact with He Yuzhu anymore."

Lu Xiaomi slowly shook her head, blushing as she said, "Mother, let's just forget about it. I feel that being his secretary is quite good for me now."

Did he threaten you?

“No, I can’t live without him.” The first thing that came to Lü Xiaomi’s mind was that letter of allegiance.

However, Mother Lü misunderstood and asked, "Does he have some special talent that attracted you?"

Lü Xiaomi casually remarked, "It is quite long; it can take an hour to do push-ups."

Only after saying it did I realize I had said the wrong thing; how could I have said such a thing?

Mother Lü stared in astonishment at her daughter, while Lü Xiaomi, mortified, buried herself in her mother's arms and refused to look up.

Mother Lü was speechless. It turned out that He Yuzhu really had a special talent; no wonder he had found several women.

They all followed him wholeheartedly, bearing him children without regard for status or title; it turns out they were truly born with extraordinary talent.

He patted his daughter on the shoulder and said, "They've been gone for a long time. Let's go get them some dishes and invite He Yuzhu to dinner tonight."

Lü Xiaomi then followed her mother out.

He Yuzhu drove his tricycle to the grain depot, and Lü Xiaobin drove the tricycle directly to the warehouse and called a few people to unload the grain.

A standard burlap sack weighs 200 jin (100 catties), so there's no need to weigh it; it's just 10 burlap sacks.

After leaving the grain depot and returning to Lü Xiaomi's home, He Yuzhu thought he could just take the money and leave, but Lü Xiaomi directly pulled He Yuzhu to her boudoir.

He Yuzhu was somewhat reluctant. Lü Xiaomi was too bold, grabbing him without his consent, even though Lü Xiaomi's mother was watching.

As soon as he entered the house, he asked, "What are you doing? This is your house."

Lü Xiaomi smiled, not worried at all, and asked in return:

"Aren't you usually quite bold? You dared to put your hand under my skirt and touch me in the office."

He Yuzhu flicked him on the forehead. He was very bold, but that was only when the scanner was already on and there was no one else within ten meters of the office.

There is absolutely no possibility that it will be discovered.

This reason, however, could not be explained to Lü Xiaomi.

He Yuzhu joked, "But this is your house, and your mother-in-law is watching."

Lü Xiaomi laughed and said, "You're really shameless, calling her 'mother-in-law' now."

He Yuzhu said, "Alright, alright, I don't have time to joke around with you here. What exactly called me here? It's not that your brother-in-law and father-in-law don't want to pay the money, is it? They want to use you, Xi'er, to pay off the debt?"

"If I were Xi'er, wouldn't you be Huang Shiren?"

He Yuzhu reached out and touched Lü Xiaomi's pretty face, pinching her cheek. He laughed and said, "This little girl sold for ten thousand yuan. If I use her to pay off my debts, wouldn't I be at a loss?"

Lü Xiaomi was furious. She kicked He Yuzhu in the face and yelled:

"I don't have any money to give you today, so I'm going to use me to pay off my debt. So, tell me, do you agree or not?"

He Yuzhu had already scanned it; the ten thousand yuan was prepared and wrapped in newspaper in a bag.

He continued, following Lü Xiaomi's lead, "Alright, then I'll use you to pay off the debt. From now on, you'll serve me obediently, understand?"

As he spoke, he pulled Lü Xiaomi into his arms and pressed her tightly against him.

After tiptoeing and giving him a light kiss, Lü Xiaomi said softly, "Brother Zhu, my parents know about us."

Chapter 335 Spending the Night in the Boudoir

He Yuzhu was terrified and quickly released Lü Xiaomi, asking, "What did you say?"

"Aren't you pretty brave?"

Lü Xiaomi giggled, then threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms and said, word by word, "I said, my parents know that you slept with their precious daughter."

"Really?" He Yuzhu was still somewhat incredulous.

Lü Xiaomi nodded: "Why would I lie to you?"

"No, but their attitude makes it seem like they don't know anything about it?"

He Yuzhu was confused. If he were a parent and heard about this, he would want to chop that brat up with a knife.

How could you possibly remain calm and pretend nothing happened?

Lü Xiaomi then explained in a low voice.

He Yuzhu asked, "You said your parents only thought I was threatening you with this, and that you only gave yourself to me to save your brother?"

“That’s what they think,” Lü Xiaomi said.

He Yuzhu asked, "So, they don't know about your pledge of allegiance?"

Lü Xiaomi's face flushed red, and she exclaimed, "I was terrified back then too! Why do you keep bringing this up? When are you going to return that book to me?"

"I've already told you, I tore that book up, why won't you believe me?"

Lu Xiaomi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Forget it, things are already like this anyway. I can't live without you, and I can only be your woman for the rest of my life. Just make sure you keep that note safe and don't let anyone else see it."

He Yuzhu asked, "What is your parents' attitude?"

Lü Xiaomi said, "What attitude can I have? I've already been bullied by you, and for my brother's sake, I can only swallow my pride and accept it."

Lu Xiaomi was actually quite relieved that she hadn't told her parents about this, as it had always been a sensitive topic.

After all, her mother had urged her to go on blind dates, but she didn't dare to go and could only make up an excuse to refuse.

He didn't dare tell his parents the truth. This time, his brother had gotten himself into trouble, and He Yuzhu was just able to help.

Her affair with He Yuzhu was discovered by her father. At first, it was a bit awkward, but later it became much easier.

This matter has finally been resolved, and I no longer need to worry about getting married.

"That's the matter. Now go see your parents!"

"They wouldn't have axemen on either side, would they?" He Yuzhu joked, trying to lighten his mood.

I was even more nervous than when I met my father-in-law.

Lu Xiaomi rolled her eyes at him, took his hand, and led him directly out of her boudoir and back into the main room.

There were four plates on the table: peanuts, canned fish, canned luncheon meat, and fried small fish. In the middle was a soup bowl, the only hot dish: stewed ribbonfish pieces.

Secretary Lü and the other two ignored Lü Xiaomi holding He Yuzhu's hand and greeted him warmly, saying that their hospitality was inadequate.

He Yuzhu made some polite remarks and then sat down.

At first, I was very nervous. I have a family, and I was having an affair with their precious daughter. Anyone would feel very uncomfortable in this situation.

Fortunately, Secretary Lü and his wife didn't make things difficult for him. They just chatted casually about the grain and gave their son a little lecture.

Secretary Lü, his wife, and their son urged He Yuzhu to drink, and he could only drink one cup after another.

Seeing that there was no sign of it ending, He Yuzhu had no choice but to pretend to be drunk, and in the blink of an eye he was drunk and unconscious.

He wanted to wait a bit before leaving, but he was dragged directly into Lü Xiaomi's boudoir.

Only Lü Xiaomi was left to take care of him.

After wiping his face and washing his feet, and pouring water, I came back to find that He Yuzhu had already opened his eyes.

"you're awake?"

He Yuzhu struggled to sit up, but Lü Xiaomi said, "You should rest here. There are no guest rooms at home, so I can take care of you."

As he spoke, he took off his coat and lay down next to He Yuzhu.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? I'd better go back."
