My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 223: He Daqing's Blind Date with Qin Huairu

Back at the Intermediate People's Court, Zhang Lei ran into He Daqing.

Zhang Lei looked at him and said, "Uncle He, I've already explained things to Qin Huairu. You two should meet tomorrow morning and talk things over. I've asked her about it, and she seems quite satisfied with you. We'll see what you two say then."

Hearing this, He Daqing smiled and said, "Zhang Lei, thank you so much. When I get married, Qin Huairu and I will thank you together."

Zhang Lei waved his hand: "Qin Huairu has already thanked me, so you don't need to. Anyway, I'm just doing this for your own good; I just want you two to be happy."

He Daqing was deeply moved and said, "No, it's her business to thank you, but I also need to thank you properly."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei felt a sudden tightness in his anus, startled, and quickly said, "No, no, no, Uncle He, let's talk about this after you've settled things."

He Daqing smiled and agreed, "Okay. I'll tidy up the house tomorrow, and you can just come over to my place to meet me."

Zhang Lei nodded, said okay, and turned to go home.

When he got home, he was relieved to find that Ye Shuqin didn't notice any strange smell on him.

To be honest, Zhang Lei hasn't eaten meat in a long time since the Ye sisters got pregnant.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye. Zhang Lei was pacing back and forth in the yard early in the morning. Ye Shuqin, seeing him like this, asked, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Lei looked at Ye Shuqin and replied, "Today we're setting He Daqing up on a blind date."

Upon hearing that it was He Daqing on a blind date, Ye Shuqin looked astonished: "What? He Daqing? At his age, he's still going on blind dates?"

Zhang Lei replied with a smile, "Yesterday you asked me what was wrong, but I didn't tell you. It's this."

Ye Shuqin laughed too: "Honey, you're keeping such a small thing from me?"

"I'm not hiding it from you, but if you knew who your blind date was, you'd definitely be curious," Zhang Lei said.

Ye Shuqin immediately became interested and asked, "Honey, who is He Daqing's blind date?"

Zhang Lei smiled and kept everyone in suspense: "It's related to the Jia family."

Upon hearing that it was related to the Jia family, Ye Shuqin exclaimed in surprise, "No way? Master, He Daqing is going to arrange a marriage with Jia Zhangshi?"

Zhang Lei quickly waved his hand to interrupt, saying repeatedly, "Pah, pah, pah, what are you talking about? I'm not talking about Jia Zhangshi, I'm talking about Qin Huairu."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuqin was even more surprised and couldn't help but raise her voice, exclaiming, "What? Qin Huairu?"

Her shout drew the attention of many people in the courtyard, who were curious about what had happened at Zhang Lei's house. Zhang Lei quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "Wife, keep your voice down. I was just about to go to the gate to see if Qin Huairu had arrived so I could take her to the He family's house."

Ye Shuqin looked on with curiosity: "Honey, shall I go with you?"

Zhang Lei was a little unhappy and advised, "You're pregnant, don't run around with me."

Ye Shuqin didn't care: "Husband, it's only been a short time, and there's still no sign of the baby. I'll just go and check on it."

Seeing his wife's curious expression, Zhang Lei couldn't refuse and had to agree: "Okay, okay, but don't say too much, I'll do everything later."

Ye Shuqin nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Soon, Zhang Lei led Ye Shuqin to the central courtyard. He couldn't help but glance at He Daqing's house and saw that He Daqing was busy cleaning the room. He couldn't help but smile and thought to himself, "I didn't expect He Daqing to be so clean."

The two then walked to the front yard, and just as they reached the gate, they bumped into Qin Huairu, who was walking into the yard. When Qin Huairu saw Zhang Lei and Ye Shuqin beside him, she was taken aback for a moment, her gaze lingering on Ye Shuqin before she looked down at herself, unable to help but compare herself to her.

She thought to herself, no wonder Zhang Lei looked down on her. Ye Shuqin was young and beautiful. On the other hand, she herself had become haggard after years of hard work in the Jia family, not to mention having given birth.

Seeing Qin Huairu standing there speechless, Zhang Lei coughed lightly and said, "Qin Huairu, you've come at the right time. I was just about to go outside to wait for you when you arrived. Let's go to the He family together."

Qin Huairu snapped out of her daze and replied with a smile, "Okay."

The three walked side by side toward the He family's house. Qin Huairu started the conversation first, saying to Zhang Lei, "Zhang Lei, your wife is so beautiful. You must have been blessed in your past life to marry such a beautiful wife."

Hearing Qin Huairu's praise, Ye Shuqin smiled and waved her hand, "Not at all, it's my good fortune that I married Zhang Lei."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt a pang of jealousy and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Lei beside her. Zhang Lei, somewhat embarrassed by Ye Shuqin's praise, quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, wife, let's not talk about us today."

Before long, the three arrived at the He family's residence. He Daqing looked up and saw Qin Huairu, and was momentarily embarrassed, but still quickly greeted her, "Quick, quick, come in."

The four people stood in the room, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward. Zhang Lei thought for a moment and then said, "Uncle He, Qin Huairu, you know each other, so I won't go into the details. You both know what's going on. Shuqin and I will go outside, and you two can talk it out. Just say what you're thinking; don't be shy, you're all adults. And Uncle He, you're a man, so be more assertive and don't let the woman speak first."

Hearing Zhang Lei's instructions, He Daqing waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, do you think I don't understand this?"

Seeing his reaction, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Alright, I won't bother you two anymore." With that, he turned and left with Ye Shuqin, closing the door behind him as they went.

Seeing Zhang Lei's actions, Ye Shuqin couldn't help but click her tongue and complain, "Honey, why are you still closing the door? I wanted to hear what they were saying."

Zhang Lei looked at her and said helplessly, "You know, if you were inside, would those two still have the nerve to open up to each other?"

Ye Shuqin thought about it and agreed with that, then asked, "Then, sir, where are we going now?"

Zhang Lei smiled and replied, "I'm not going anywhere." With that, he led her to the base of the He family's wall and the window. "Wait here for me, I'll go get something."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lei ran off quickly, a sudden action that startled Ye Shuqin. A moment later, Zhang Lei returned, carrying two small stools. He placed the stools on the ground and whispered, "Wife, keep your voice down. Sit here and listen to what they're saying."

Seeing Zhang Lei's cleverness, Ye Shuqin couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Honey, you're really smart."
