The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 124 You said: Beauties in the Harem 3, you...

"Please leave as soon as possible and don't bother me these few days. I can't concentrate on my work when you come."

Hou Jie waved goodbye to her and turned to leave. However, this guy didn't seem to want to leave Chen Xueru's sight so easily.

He was courting death and sang a sad tune: "Snowflakes are flying, the north wind is blowing, the world is vast..." The desolate and sad melody made it seem as if Chen Xueru had done something wrong to him.

Hearing Hou Jie's singing, Chen Xueru's anger was ignited again.

She picked up a brick angrily and threw it towards Hou Jie's back. Although she couldn't hit him, she did it just for show and to scare Hou Jie.

"Ah...Ah...Brother Chunsheng, if I see you again within a month, I will show you how I will deal with you."

However, Hou Jie had already noticed the movement behind him and knew that Chen Xueru would not let him go easily. When he heard the sound of the brick flying, he immediately ran away.

"Haha! Xueru, I'll be back in two days."

After saying this, he disappeared from sight in a few moments.

"This bad guy has loved bullying me since he was a child. What a disgusting guy."

However, for some reason, every time Chen Xueru saw Hou Jie's naughty look and his embarrassed look when he left, a strange emotion, sweet and shy, would surge in her heart.

Chen Xue grumbled angrily at his back. She knew it was useless to shout and there was nothing she could do.

"Huh, I finally got rid of this guy. How come it's more tiring than looking after a store."

Chen Xueru's mood was like ripples on the lake, which gradually returned to calm after a brief fluctuation. She clapped her hands lightly, and the crisp sound echoed in the air. Then she turned and walked towards the store. Her steps were light and powerful, and each step was full of determination and confidence.

However, the moment she looked up, her face flushed. Four or five curious faces poked out from the door, their eyes full of gossip and teasing, and their mouths grinned.

Chen Xueru immediately realized that she had made a fool of herself again. An inexplicable resentment surged in her heart, and she secretly blamed the bad guy who caused the trouble.

The two sides' eyes met in the air, and at that moment, time seemed to freeze. Several shop assistants seemed to feel the awkward atmosphere and found excuses to avoid Chen Xueru's gaze. Chen Xueru also walked to the counter and sat down tacitly, but her mind was blank at the moment, and the emotions and state she had prepared disappeared without a trace.

Several shop assistants secretly glanced at Chen Xueru, and one of them, who was lively and bold, broke the silence. She said in a somewhat joking tone: "There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and you said that you would only favor me." This sentence immediately broke the original awkward atmosphere and made everyone laugh.

Chen Xueru was so angry at this that she came out from the counter and rushed towards the lively clerk. As soon as she heard the familiar voice, she knew who was making trouble. They were used to playing around and knew each other very well. Chen Xueru chased the lively clerk while shouting: "You stinky girl, I'm going to tear your mouth off."

Some shop assistants added fuel to the fire: "My son-in-law is really good at pleasing girls! I wish I had a guy as humorous as him."

Seeing that she couldn't catch up with her, Chen Xueru turned around and chased the troublemaker, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Seeing this, other shop assistants also joined in the fun.

They chirped and some imitated their conversations, some told their own funny stories, and some even sang the song that the bad guy had just sung. In an instant, the whole store was filled with a lively and warm atmosphere, with laughter and fighting sounds intertwined, forming a vivid and interesting picture.

Seeing this, Chen Xueru felt a little helpless, but more of it was warmth and comfort.

Finally, she asked fiercely, "Tell me, what did you hear?"

A clerk joked, "There's not much left, that's all. We started listening as soon as you arrived at the store door." These words made the atmosphere more relaxed and cheerful, and also made Chen Xueru even more angry and shy.

I couldn't help but start complaining about a bad guy in my heart.

The sound of laughter echoed in the store.

The fun didn't end until a customer came into the store.

Chen Xueru and the shop assistants returned to their normal working state, each busy with their own things.

However, their hearts are more closely connected.

Hou Jie went home on purpose that day, showed up, and moved some daily necessities, including rice, noodles, grain, oil, etc., to prepare for emergencies. Then he chatted with his mother for a while, asked about the situation at home, and then got up and went to Mu's house.

As soon as Hou Jie entered the yard, Old Man Mu saw him and hurriedly came up to him.

In the past two days, he had suffered a lot from his daughter, and was completely submissive and had no power to resist. His daughter's orders were like imperial decrees, and he dared not neglect them at all. All housework became his responsibility. This sudden change made Old Man Mu have nowhere to vent his resentment.

"You little bastard, is it a trap you set for me to marry into our family?" His face was full of anger and confusion, as if his son-in-law was an unforgivable villain.

Hou Jie immediately rejected the question, "How is that possible? Am I that kind of person?"

Old Man Mu was still indignant, "Why? My daughter didn't bother you, but kept blaming me for letting you marry into her family."

Hou Jie firmly denied the incident. He excitedly retorted: "Father-in-law, this is not my fault! I really explained it to Chunhua, and I even said good things for you! But he didn't believe it, and there was nothing I could do!"

Hou Jie heard the hidden meaning in the old man Mu's words, and he instantly understood that his father-in-law was just mad at him and had no place to vent, so he was jealous of him. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking: "Father-in-law, this is not my problem, it's because you are too incompetent, it has nothing to do with me. He recalled that when he first found out that his wife's attitude was wrong, he took great pains to appease her. At that time, he didn't know how many good words he said and how much thought he put in."

Old Man Mu looked suspicious and distrustful.

Father-in-law, listen to my analysis. Hou Jie is talking nonsense. "Did you agree to marry into the family? I didn't force you, did I?"

"Yeah! What's wrong?"

"So now Chunhua blames you, and I let her marry into the family. Is that right? It has nothing to do with me now."

Old Man Mu pondered for a while and felt a little confused.

"That's correct."

"Wait, why does it have nothing to do with you? Wasn't it you who asked to marry into the family?"

Seeing that his father-in-law had fallen into the trap, Hou Jie continued to deceive him by saying, "Yes! You can totally disagree! I'm not forcing you."
