My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 124: Xu Damao's Strange Behavior

Seeing Liu Haizhong's boastful and smug look, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Well then, Second Uncle, I congratulate you in advance. Perhaps with this in-law relationship, you'll become a leader soon."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "Oh dear, how come I didn't think of that!" But on the surface, he still pretended to be very calm and said to Zhang Lei, "What leader or not, that's all for the future. We'll talk about it later."

Looking at his feigned modesty, Zhang Lei deliberately teased, "Second Uncle, if you really become a leader, you'd better have a proper air about you. You'll need to prepare things like pens and watches. And your clothes, shouldn't you change into a Zhongshan suit or something? Otherwise, it won't suit your leadership style."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong subconsciously glanced at his clothes, then touched his wrist, and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

After thinking for a moment, he nodded again and said in a serious tone, "You know what, what you said is actually true."

Zhang Lei continued to fan the flames, saying, "Second Uncle, that's for sure! Don't you see which leader in our factory doesn't dress like this? If your in-laws see you dressed like this, well, you'll be 99% sure of getting the position."

Liu Haizhong smiled and pressed on, "And what about the remaining little bit?"

Zhang Lei said in a serious tone, "Isn't that just a matter of a word from your in-laws?"

Liu Haizhong beamed with joy upon hearing this, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Yes, yes, Zhang Lei, you're really quick-witted! I need to prepare in advance." As he spoke, Liu Haizhong quickly ran back to his home.

Ye Shuqin looked at Liu Haizhong's retreating figure, then at Zhang Lei, and said helplessly, "Honey, you're really good at fooling people! What does being an official have to do with clothes or appearance? Isn't it all about one's ability and knowledge?"

Zhang Lei smiled and looked at Ye Shuqin, saying, "Others become officials based on their abilities and knowledge, but our Second Uncle becomes an official based on his imagination."

As he spoke, Zhang Lei took out two hundred yuan from the three hundred yuan and handed it to Ye Shuqin, saying, "Wife, take this money and use it for our daily expenses."

When Ye Shuqin saw Zhang Lei giving her so much money at once, she quickly declined, saying, "Honey, shouldn't you take this money to buy meat and vegetables for Second Uncle?"

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "I was talking about black market prices. How could a purchasing agent like me buy things on the black market? A hundred yuan is enough."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Ye Shuqin exclaimed in surprise, "Husband, what's wrong...?"

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Don't worry, take it. Consider the extra two hundred yuan as my reward for your hard work."

Looking at the two hundred yuan in her hand, Ye Shuqin suddenly felt that this money was earned far too easily.

Ye Shuqin was still a little worried and hesitated before saying, "Honey, what if Second Uncle and the others find out...?"

Seeing her nervous expression, Zhang Lei smiled and asked, "What? What? Will you think I'm setting him up?"

Ye Shuqin nodded.

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "No, he won't. Even if he had three hundred yuan, he couldn't buy everything he wanted. If it weren't for my strong connections, I wouldn't have been able to do this. So, don't worry about the money, just take it."

Ye Shuqin nodded as she listened to Zhang Lei's explanation.

She knew what the current situation was like. Although her family had never lacked meat and flour, she also knew what the other families in the yard were like. They basically ate cornbread and pickled vegetables for three meals a day, and they couldn't even see a single leafy green vegetable.

At this moment, Ye Shuqin looked at Zhang Lei and felt happier and happier. She felt that the three sisters had married such a good and capable man.

Meanwhile, Xu Damao was extremely depressed at home.

He had originally gone to the countryside to show movies in order to avoid the rumors about him and He Yuzhu.

However, ever since he went to the countryside to show movies, he suddenly encountered obstacles when he tried to discuss life and ideals with young widows and wives in the countryside.

Meanwhile, Xu Damao was extremely depressed at home.

He originally went to the countryside to show movies in order to avoid the rumors about him and He Yuzhu.

But after he went to the countryside, he suddenly encountered obstacles when he tried to discuss life and ideals with young widows and wives in the village.

Because he discovered that he couldn't lift his "second brother".

He desperately craved sexual intercourse, but for some reason, his body, which used to be able to last for three minutes, now couldn't get up at all.

What's even more devastating is that he's now completely haunted by the image of him and He Yuzhu entangled naked that day, an image he can't shake off no matter what he tries, which terrifies him so much that he doesn't even dare to leave the house.

Xu Damao now avoids men, afraid that his abnormal behavior will be discovered.

Xu Damao, who had been cooped up in the house all day, finally came up with a solution: look at more women.

He believed that as long as he looked at more women, he would definitely be able to solve his problems.

Therefore, he set his sights on Qin Huairu of the Jia family.

Soon, Xu Damao appeared in the Intermediate Court, his eyes glancing at Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes, from time to time.

This made Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes, feel extremely uncomfortable, as if someone was watching her.

But as soon as she looked up, Xu Damao immediately looked away.

After this happened several times, Qin Huairu became uneasy. She quickly finished washing the clothes and ran home with the basin in her hand.

The feeling of being watched only disappeared once I entered the house.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Madam Jia Zhang immediately said with displeasure, "Qin Huairu, what are you doing? Why are you running like this?"

Qin Huairu didn't dare say that someone was watching her, fearing it would arouse Jia Dongxu's suspicion again, so she said, "Mom, it's nothing. I just finished washing the clothes and wanted to come back to see if there was anything else in the house that needed cleaning."

Hearing this, Madam Jia nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, alright, now that you're done washing, take a break and we'll cook when it's almost time for dinner."

Qin Huairu nodded.

Since the last plenary meeting, Jia Zhangshi's attitude towards her has indeed improved a little.

It has to be said, some people are just perverse. If you beat and scold her every day, but suddenly stop one day, she'll be grateful to you; if you treat her well every day, but neglect her a little one day, she'll resent you.

This is human nature.

After sitting down, Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhangshi and said, "Mom, ever since Dongxu was injured, our family has been living off our savings every day. If this continues, even if we had a mountain of gold and silver, we would have to eat it all up."

Hearing Qin Huairu say this, Jia Zhangshi suddenly remembered and said, "What you said really reminded me. I'll have to go to the factory another day to ask about Dongxu's work arrangements now that he's injured."
