My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 453: Han Chunming Borrows Money

Meanwhile, at No. 89 Nanluoguxiang, a courtyard house...

Ever since Zhang Lei married Han Chunyan, he's been constantly thinking of ways to cause trouble, and he's caused two troubles at once, which makes Lou Xiao'e avoid him every time she sees him.

That day, Han Chunyan was off work and looked at Zhang Lei, saying, "Honey, I want to go back to my parents' house today. Would you like to come with me?"

Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'm free today anyway, I'll go with you. But tonight, you have to let me unlock a new position."

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Han Chunyan couldn't help but blush.

Since being with Zhang Lei, she's always learning new things, each time something new and exciting. She doesn't know why Zhang Lei has so much knowledge; is it because he's married many wives? This makes Han Chunyan wonder if others have also experienced the same things Zhang Lei has done. But Han Chunyan also looks forward to learning new things each time.

The two soon arrived at the Han family's house.

I had just arrived home and hadn't even sat down for a short while when I saw Han Chunming rushing back in a great hurry.

Looking at Han Chunming's appearance, Han's mother said angrily, "Chunming, you're not a child anymore, why are you still so impetuous? Your sister and brother-in-law are here, I'm going to buy some groceries, you sit here and keep them company."

Han Chunming called out anxiously, "Mom, why are you still cooking? Quick, how much money do we have? Lend me some."

Seeing Han Chunming's anxious expression, Han's mother immediately sensed something was wrong and said, "Chunming, have you gotten into trouble outside? What do you need money for?"

Han Chunming blurted out, "Su Meng, it's Su Meng's father who's in the hospital and needs money."

Hearing this, everyone was surprised.

Han's mother looked at Chunming and asked, "How much money do you need?"

Han Chunming frowned and said, "I heard it costs 1 yuan."

Han's mother immediately responded in a high-pitched voice: "What? 1 yuan?"

Han's mother couldn't help but complain, "Chunming, are you trying to kill your mother?!"

At this moment, Han Chunyan, who was standing to the side, looked at her simple-minded younger brother and said, "Chunming, did Su Meng ask you for this money, or...?"

Han Chunming said directly, "Su Meng doesn't know, this was my own idea."

Han Chunyan angrily retorted, "What? Your own idea? Chunming, are you out of your mind? Su Meng's family didn't mention money, and you've already taken on all this. Don't you know how much money our family has?"

Han Chunming looked at his second sister and said, "Second sister, is it Su Meng...?"

Seeing this, Zhang Lei quickly stopped them, saying, "Alright, alright, stop arguing."

Zhang Lei looked at Han Chunming and said, "Chunming, your sister is right. We can't be so eager for this kind of thing. If Su Meng or her family came to you for help, your attitude would be acceptable. But now they haven't even asked, and you're already rushing in. Don't you think that's going too far?"

Han Chunming looked at his brother-in-law Zhang Lei and said, "Brother-in-law, but Su Meng, she..."

Zhang Lei quickly stopped Han Chunming, saying, "Alright, alright, stop with the 'Su Meng' stuff. I'm asking you, how are you planning to borrow this ten thousand yuan? That's no small amount. How much does a person earn in a month these days?"

Han Chunming looked at Zhang Lei and said, "We can't just stand by and watch Su Meng's father lie in the hospital without getting help."

Zhang Lei looked at Han Chunming, who was definitely driven by love, and advised, "Chunming, no one is saying we won't save him. Do you know what Su Meng's family situation is? Does her family have money? What if they do?"

Han Chunming shook his head and said, "Impossible."

Han Chunyan smacked Han Chunming on the head and said, "How do you know it's impossible? Look at his bankbook!"

Han Chunming shook his head and said, "No, but I saw Su Meng crying there."

Zhang Lei looked at Han Chunming and said, "Alright, Chunming, calm down. Even if you take out 1 yuan now, what good will it do? Will his father's illness be cured immediately? You're in such a hurry, people who don't know better will think you're already married to Su Meng."

Han's mother looked at her son and couldn't help but scold him angrily, "Xiao Wuzi, come here! Did you hear what your brother-in-law just said? Let me tell you, don't try to take on this. Our family doesn't have the money for you to squander. If you give all our money to Su Meng, our whole family will starve."

Han Chunming frowned even more deeply as he listened to his mother's words.

Seeing Han Chunming's expression, Zhang Lei said with a smile, "Chunming, you need to understand this saying: 'Eagerness doesn't guarantee a good deal.' It's two different things when someone begs you and when you beg someone. Besides, the way you are now, people will think you have ulterior motives."

Han Chunming looked down at Zhang Lei and said, "Brother-in-law, I just want to help Su Meng. After all, Su Meng's father, Teacher Su, is a very good person."

Zhang Lei looked at Han Chunming and said speechlessly, "Chunming, what are you to the Su family now? Tell me."

Han Chunming opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.

He wanted to say that he and Su Meng were dating, that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but their relationship was not recognized by anyone.

Zhang Lei looked at Han Chunming and said with a smile, "Can't say anything now? Think about it again. Why would you give someone such a huge sum of money as 1 yuan to help someone you have absolutely no connection with? If you were really related to the Su family, and Su Meng married you, and we were relatives, you wouldn't even need to ask; we would all contribute money to help. But you don't have that connection, so why should we all share in their family's troubles? Have you thought about that?"

Han Chunming looked at Zhang Lei and said, "Brother-in-law, but I like Su Meng."

Zhang Lei shook his head and said, "Liking someone doesn't mean you have them. You like Su Meng now, or Su Meng likes you too, can you guarantee 100% that you two will get married?"

Han Chunming twisted his head and said directly, "I dare."

Zhang Lei poked him on the head and said, "That's your idea. Then ask Su Meng if you give her 1 yuan to save her father. Would she be willing to marry you right now? If she is, your brother-in-law will pay the 1 yuan for you and make your dream come true."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Han Chunming was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, really?"

Zhang Lei nodded.

Han Chunyan, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped him, saying, "Honey, what are you doing?"

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Chunyan, it's alright. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Zhang Lei smiled and looked at Han Chunming, saying, "Go ahead, just do as we just said, and see how Su Meng answers you."

Han Chunming looked at Zhang Lei and said with a happy smile, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely earn back this 1 yuan."

Zhang Lei looked at him and said, "Don't rush to say whether you'll get a wife or not. First, make sure you can bring her back before you talk about it."

Han Chunming arrived at the hospital soon and found Su Meng.

At this moment, Su Meng was with her mother and grandmother, crying her heart out.

When Su Meng saw Han Chunming arrive, she couldn't help but hug him and start crying.

Han Chunming looked at Su Meng and his heart shattered. He quickly comforted her, "Su Meng, don't cry."

Su Meng looked at Han Chunming and said, "Chunming, what should I do? What should our family do?"

Han Chunming comforted Su Meng, saying, "Su Meng, don't worry, the 10,000 yuan is secured."

Su Meng was overjoyed upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Really?"

Han Chunming nodded, then pulled Su Meng aside and said, "Su Meng, I have something to discuss with you."

Su Meng looked at the hesitant Han Chunming and said, "Chunming, don't say anything yet, give me the money first, I need to get my dad treated."

Han Chunming looked at Su Meng and said, "Su Meng, the money isn't in my hands right now, but I have something I want to ask you."

Su Meng looked at Han Chunming anxiously and said, "Then hurry up and ask."

Han Chunming was momentarily speechless at his anxious expression, but remembering Zhang Lei's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Su Meng, you know I like you."

Su Meng nodded and said, "I know, why are you bringing this up now?"

Han Chunming looked at Su Meng and said, "Su Meng, would you like to marry me?"

Su Meng was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "Han Chunming, how could you do this? I'm so disappointed in you."

Han Chunming was taken aback for a moment and said, "Su Meng, what do you mean by that? What did I do?"

Su Meng looked at Han Chunming and said, "What's wrong? You're using my father's illness to blackmail me into marrying you. What's wrong with you?"

Han Chunming quickly explained, "No, no, Su Meng, let me explain."

Su Meng looked at Han Chunming and said angrily, "No, I won't listen to your explanation. Get out! You don't need to worry about the money."

Han Chunming was stunned as he watched Su Meng leave in anger; this was completely different from what he had imagined.
