My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 147: Zhang Lei Pretends to be Drunk

Seeing Yan Fugui's state, the three aunties stomped their feet in anger and shouted outside, "Jiefang! Jiefang! Quickly drag your father back!" Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang rushed in and grabbed Yan Fugui on either side, dragging him home. The food and wine from Yan Fugui's crotch spilled all over the ground along the way, creating quite a "spectacular" scene.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Jia Zhangshi watched with great excitement, muttering to herself, "I hope you bunch of bastards who didn't invite my family to dinner will all drink yourselves to death! You all think you're something special after a little bit of drinking, you deserve it!"

With everyone's concerted efforts, the group of people who were making a ruckus were finally forcibly separated.

At this moment, the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, along with He Yushui, rushed back from the backyard. Upon entering, they were stunned by the chaotic scene of the house, a mess of people, all seemingly drunk. He Yushui was the first to react, rushing to Shazhu and grabbing his arm, asking, "Brother, how are you? Your head is still bleeding!"

But Sha Zhu was still too drunk to hear his sister's words, and continued to curse, "Xu Damao, you coward! Come on over here if you dare, keep fighting me! Whoever chickens out is a grandson!"

Seeing his state, He Yushui's eyes welled up with tears. An older woman quickly stepped forward and said, "Yushui, don't panic! Go with them and take your brother to the hospital to get him bandaged up and sober up, otherwise his wound might get infected."

He Yushui nodded repeatedly and quickly called on several neighbors in the courtyard to help. Together, they helped the still incoherent Sha Zhu to the hospital.

On the other side, Yan Jiecheng was still sprawled on the ground, his pants pulled down to his knees, not pulled up at all. Everyone who saw his disheveled appearance covered their mouths and snickered. One older woman deliberately teased the third older woman, "Third Auntie, your Jiecheng is way too small! He looks smaller than my elementary school-aged son!"

The third woman's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and she began to hurl insults at the older woman: "Get out! You slutty old hag, you'll look at any man! Go home and look at your own man! Stop gossiping!" After cursing, she kicked Yan Jiecheng on the ground in a fit of rage, yelling at him with exasperation, "Jiecheng! You shameful wretch, get up and come home with me!"

Just then, Yan Jiefang returned. Seeing the situation, he quickly went over, helping Yan Jiecheng pull up his pants while supporting the drunken man who could barely stand, and they walked awkwardly towards his home.

Zhang Lei was helped home by the three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, one on each side.

As soon as she entered, Ye Shuhua couldn't help but complain, "These people are really despicable! They drink so much, they're such a handful!"

Ye Shuqi patted Ye Shuhua on the shoulder and comforted him, "Alright, thankfully our boss didn't do anything shameful. Look at those guys, they got carried away after a little bit of drinking, and they even started fighting. It's really embarrassing."

Just then, Ye Shuqin, who had been silent all along, suddenly turned her head, looked at Zhang Lei with a half-smile, and said, "Honey, stop pretending, get up."

Upon hearing Ye Shuqin's words, Ye Shuqi and Ye Shuhua were both stunned and turned to look at Zhang Lei.

Seeing this, Zhang Lei stopped acting. He blinked, chuckled, straightened up, and said, "Oh, you noticed? Was my acting really that bad?"

Looking at his appearance, Ye Shuqin smiled and tapped his forehead with her finger: "Do you think I don't know whether you're drunk or not? Just now in the yard, your eyes were always looking like you were enjoying the show, just like usual. You didn't look like a drunk person at all!"

Zhang Lei scratched his head, grinning smugly, and said, "Hehe, you figured it out! You truly are my virtuous and good wife!"

Ye Shuhua's eyes widened in surprise. "Honey, you're not drunk? We thought you were too drunk to walk! Why were you pretending to be drunk?"

Seeing Ye Shuhua's curious expression, Zhang Lei glanced around, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You wouldn't understand, would you? This is called self-preservation..."

Ye Shuhua frowned slightly and muttered under her breath, "Protect yourself..."

At this moment, Ye Shuqi stepped forward and said earnestly, "I think the boss did the right thing. Think about what happened today. They were all completely drunk and even started fighting. If our boss were still sober, who do you think they would target tomorrow when they sober up?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuhua's eyes lit up, and she immediately realized what he meant. She clapped her hands and said, "Oh, so that's how it is! In that case, the head of the household is also 'drunk,' he doesn't know anything, and no one will point the finger at him. This is a brilliant move!"

Seeing their expressions of sudden realization, Zhang Lei smiled and gave them a thumbs up: "That's right, you guys are so smart."

After saying that, Zhang Lei turned around and closed the door. Looking back at the three women, a wicked smile appeared on his face: "I'm in a good mood today, so I've decided to favor all three of my beloved concubines at the same time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Lei rushed forward, carrying Ye Shuqi and Ye Shuhua on his shoulders, one in each arm, then turned back and called to Ye Shuqin, "Shuqin, keep up!"

Ye Shuqin smiled and shook her head, then followed her into the inner room.

Soon, the room was filled with laughter and playful chatter, creating a warm and sweet atmosphere.

After an unknown amount of time, the room finally fell silent.

Ye Shuqi and Ye Shuhua were already fast asleep, exhausted, with a satisfied blush on their faces.

Ye Shuqin lay on her side, gently resting her head on Zhang Lei's chest, tracing circles on his skin with her fingers. She said with a touch of concern, "Honey, you're amazing... Why don't you find another sister to help us out?"

Hearing Ye Shuqin's words, Zhang Lei looked down at her in surprise: "You really think so?"

Ye Shuqin raised her head, looked into Zhang Lei's eyes, nodded seriously, and continued, "Honey, I know the three of us didn't give you enough fun. If you hadn't been so considerate of us, afraid of wearing us out, who knows how much longer it would have taken."

Looking at Ye Shuqin, who was so sensible and considerate, Zhang Lei felt a warmth in his heart. He hugged her tightly and said gently, "Silly girl, I'm content with just the three of you. Don't think about anything else. I just want you to be safe and happy."

"Mmm..." Ye Shuqin responded happily, leaning back against Zhang Lei's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

But she was secretly thinking to herself: when the time is right, I must find a few more sisters for the head of the household, otherwise this is too much suffering.
