Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 219

He Yuzhu asked angrily, "Isn't this just ridiculous? What's wrong with your brain?"

"Isn't she doing this for your own good?" Xu Huizhen said with some grievance, "I heard Chen Xueru say that if a man can't get satisfaction in bed, he's prone to getting sick."

"When did she tell you these things?" He Yuzhu asked in surprise.

However, she quickly realized that Chen Xueru was just whispering in front of her best friend, making preparations in advance so that she could take advantage of the situation and be discovered later.

Xu Huizhen said, "What she said isn't wrong!"

Then she spoke intermittently, and only then did He Yuzhu realize that it was Chen Xueru who was behind it all.

Chen Xueru talked nonsense in front of Xu Huizhen, saying things like men shouldn't hold back and should release their emotions to be healthy in body and mind, and even asked if the couple's sex life was harmonious.

Xu Huizhen, that silly girl, was no match for Chen Xueru's shrewdness. She was easily tricked into revealing information with just a few words. In fact, even without Xu Huizhen saying anything, Chen Xueru could imagine how He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen lived their lives.

After all, Chen Xueru's physical condition was better than Xu Huizhen's. If she couldn't even withstand He Yuzhu's affections, Xu Huizhen would be even less capable.

In Chen Xueru's mind, if Xu Huizhen had the idea of ​​finding a woman for He Yuzhu, the first person she would think of would be her, a widow. Then, she would half-heartedly agree to the arrangement, and in the future, she could openly be with Xu Huizhen.

With Xu Huizhen's help, she could openly make love with He Yuzhu. She thought that since she didn't care about status and was willing to be He Yuzhu's concubine, Xu Huizhen should be able to accept it.

Chen Xueru's words were vague, and Xu Huizhen never imagined that he had such a plan in mind. Although she also had the idea of ​​finding a woman for He Yuzhu, she set her sights on Xu Huizhi.

After all, in Xu Huizhen's eyes, the honest and simple Xu Huizhi was more to her liking. Even if Huizhi ended up with Lao He Yuzhu in the future, she would not do anything to betray her or instigate He Yuzhu to abandon her.

As for Chen Xueru, there's no need to even think about it. Chen Xueru appears to be exceptionally charming and alluring, a captivating widow who attracts many suitors.

If Chen Xueru were to be placed in He Yuzhu's bed, Xu Huizhen really had no idea whether she would eventually take over. Therefore, the honest Xu Huizhi was more to Xu Huizhen's liking.

He Yuzhu was so angry he laughed: "What were you thinking? Why didn't you discuss such a big thing with me?"

"I'm just discussing this with you, aren't I?"

"I can't be bothered with you, anyway I don't agree."

What kind of thing is this? What kind of wife finds a concubine for her husband?

After speaking, He Yuzhu turned and left. Why does this young wife test him every day with the matter of being a concubine?

As soon as he sat down, Xu Huizhi poured him a cup of tea. Her pretty face was flushed and looked very fresh. She said, "Brother-in-law, have some tea."

Then, shyly, she went back to collect the money, glancing at He Yuzhu every now and then.

He Yuzhu suddenly remembered what Xu Huizhen had just said, as if she had already spoken to Huizhi and Huizhi had agreed.

This immediately made He Yuzhu feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he were sitting on pins and needles. He picked up his tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then couldn't sit still any longer. He got up and went to the small tavern next door.

He shouted, "Old He, bring me two ounces of wine."

Previously, He Yuzhu disliked Old Man He for diluting his wine and refused to drink it. Later, Old Man He gave He Yuzhu wine that hadn't been diluted with water, and in return, He Yuzhu sold braised meat to Old Man He wholesale.

"Coming."

Old He took out a jug of wine from the counter. The bottles here were all undiluted, reserved for some old customers.

Seeing He Yuzhu leave, Xu Huizhi hurriedly went into the back room and asked, "Sister?"

"What's the matter?" Xu Huizhen asked with a smile.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Xu Huizhi asked shyly.

"I haven't even told your brother-in-law yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Huizhi stomped her feet and said, "Sister, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Then, she turned her head and flung her thick braid behind her, trying to run away.

Xu Huizhen said urgently, "Come back."

Xu Huizhi stopped and walked shyly to her sister, fiddling with the corner of her cotton-padded jacket with two fingers, and asked, "What is it?"

"Let me tell you, later tonight..."

Xu Huizhen was going all out. If He Yuzhu didn't agree, what could she do? She might as well get He Yuzhu drunk and make it a fait accompli. That way, Huizhi would help her share the burden in the future.

The tavern gradually became lively. In an era without electricity or television, radios were also a rarity, and the tavern was filled with most of the surrounding neighbors.

The group chatted about everything under the sun, from national policies to neighborhood gossip. He Yuzhu had already become one of them, bragging all night long. When they had all drunk enough, Old He suddenly leaned over and said, "Boss He wants to discuss something with you."

"What's wrong?" He Yuzhu asked.

Old He asked, "Is your sister-in-law named Huizhi?"

"Yeah, you've seen it before, what's the matter?"

Old He asked somewhat kindly, "Boss He, I see your sister-in-law is quite diligent. Has she not yet found a husband?"

He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if Old He had taken a fancy to Xu Huizhi and wanted to find a wife for his adopted son.

He Yongqiang is a stubborn person with a bad temper. He has no business sense, only sticks to his own ideas, and doesn't know how to be flexible.

It was only because Xu Huizhi was honest and simple-minded and didn't know how to resist that she was able to live with him.

But she didn't live a happy life. She lived a very stifled life in the mountains of Shidu.

He Yuzhu had previously decided that he couldn't let Xu Huizhi and He Yongqiang become husband and wife this time, and wanted to find Xu Huizhi another man.

In particular, Xu Huizhen said today that she wants Huizhi to be her concubine and keep her at home so that the sisters can serve her together in the future.

Although he hasn't given his consent yet, he won't push Huizhi to the He family right now.

He Yuzhu said, "You're too late. Huizhi has already found a husband and has a boyfriend."

"What? You've already arranged things with my in-laws?"

"Yes, we agreed on it before the New Year."

"This...this is such a mess, I thought she hadn't made arrangements with her future in-laws."

He Yuzhu asked, "Has He Yongqiang in your family not found a girlfriend yet?"

Old He sighed first, then said, "Yes, he met several girls, but he didn't agree to any of them."

Then he added, "If you know anyone suitable, please introduce one to Yongqiang as well."

"Okay, no problem."

When He Yuzhu said this, he thought of Xu Damao's sister, Xu Zhaodi. It would be good to introduce that girl to He Yongqiang.

"If it really works out, I'll treat you to a drink then," Old He said with a smile.

"Then you can't give me the one that's been diluted with water."

"Of course, would I do something like that?"

He Yuzhu smiled, made an agreement with Old He, and then got up to go home.

Upon arriving at the room in the backyard, He Yuzhu didn't see his wife, Xu Huizhen. Somewhat puzzled, he turned and called out towards the side room, "Huizhi, where's your sister?"

Xu Huizhi agreed, lifted the curtain and came out, smiling, "Brother-in-law, you're back. My sister was picked up by my older brother."

It turned out that the mother-in-law missed her daughter, so she took Xu Huizhen back with her without saying goodbye to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu muttered, "So, it's just you and me at home now?"

"Yes, brother-in-law, why did you drink so much again!"

As she spoke, Xu Huizhi came over and helped He Yuzhu into the house. Today, as usual, He Yuzhu drank alone without anyone forcing him to drink, so he drank quite a lot of alcohol without using any special abilities.

"I don't need your help, I can walk by myself." Although He Yuzhu had drunk quite a bit, he was not yet drunk.

He broke free from Xu Huizhi's support and went into the house on his own. Xu Huizhi was not annoyed. She turned around and went out to fetch a bottle of water. He Yuzhu washed up under her care.

Xu Huizhi poured out the water for washing her face, then filled a new container with warm water and placed it by the bedside. She then went to take off He Yuzhu's shoes.

He Yuzhu quickly said, "I'll do it myself."

But Xu Huizhi, for some reason, went straight to take off He Yuzhu's socks and pressed his big feet into the basin to wash them, leaving He Yuzhu speechless.

Xu Huizhen hadn't washed her own feet much before, but ever since her belly started to swell up, she couldn't bend over anymore, so He Yuzhu started washing her feet every day.

Watching the obedient Xu Huizhi carefully wash her feet, He Yuzhu, who had been drinking, couldn't help but feel aroused.

To be fair, Xu Huizhi is quite pretty, but rural girls don't know how to dress up, and her clothes aren't nice, so she looks much worse.

However, upon closer observation, it becomes clear that Xu Huizhi is no less capable than her sister and Chen Xueru, and she is also timid, evoking a sense of pity.

Xu Huizhi suddenly looked up and glanced at him with a charming expression. Her profile was very beautiful, with slightly flushed cheeks and a hint of spring in her eyes, making her very alluring.

The area behind her ears and her earlobes were a bright red, and her long, fair neck was stained crimson.

He Yuzhu felt a slight stirring in his heart, but he knew that this was his sister-in-law and he couldn't make a move on her easily, lest there be trouble later.

After enjoying Xu Huizhi's foot bath and massage, He Yuzhu waved for her to leave. As soon as Xu Huizhi left, He Yuzhu immediately put on his slippers, slammed the door shut, and locked it.

Xu Huizhi stood outside with the foot-washing water, somewhat taken aback. Then she smiled slyly, went back to her room, fetched some warm water, and cleaned herself up again.

He Yuzhu lay in bed, wanting to go find Chen Xueru, but Xu Huizhi was guarding outside, so he sighed and decided not to go.

"What kind of life is this? It's not as good as when Huizhen is at home. At least you can cuddle and sleep with her. Here, I can only stay in bed by myself."

Thinking that he must bring his wife back the next day, He Yuzhu quickly fell asleep.

Xu Huizhi waited and waited, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep. Suddenly, she was awakened by a cat's meow. She turned her head and saw that the clock showed eleven o'clock. Then she asked herself, "Huizhi, do you really want to spend your whole life with your brother-in-law?"

When Xu Huizhi first met He Yuzhu, she fantasized that it would be wonderful if he were her husband, and she would no longer have to live a hard life.

Xu Huizhi lost her father at a young age. If it weren't for her uncle's help, she and her brother would have starved to death on the streets long ago. After meeting He Yuzhu, she was brought to the city to help him, and that's when she realized her brother-in-law's strength.
