My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 131: The Questioning of the Three Women

The entire meeting ended hastily with Xu Damao reluctantly taking out 10 yuan to buy a gift for Jia Zhangshi.

Seeing that there was nothing more to see, Zhang Lei decisively took Ye Shuqin and Ye Shuqi and turned around to go back to his own home.

When they arrived in their yard, they saw Ye Shuhua sitting next to the eight old bicycles, chin in hand, lost in thought.

Upon seeing Ye Shuhua, Zhang Lei quickly called out, "Shuhua, don't sit there, you'll get your clothes dirty again."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuhua happily ran over and said, "Honey, are you getting ready to fix the bicycle?"

Zhang Lei nodded and said with a smile, "Yes. We bought these bicycles at scrap metal prices. Let's see if we can fix one. If we can, we'll make a fortune."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Ye Shuhua's eyes lit up with excitement. She clapped her hands and said, "Honey, you're amazing! If we can fix one every day, won't we be rich?"

Zhang Lei chuckled and tapped her on the head, saying, "What are you thinking? Where are we going to find so many old, discarded bicycles that we can buy so easily?"

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Ye Shuhua couldn't help but stick out her tongue and make a funny gesture.

Soon, the four of them entered the room.

But as soon as Zhang Lei entered the room and sat down, Ye Shuqin closed the door, turned around, and stared intently at him.

Zhang Lei felt uneasy under Ye Shuqin's gaze, his expression turning somewhat bewildered. He asked, "Shuqin, what's wrong?"

Ye Shuqin looked at Zhang Lei, her eyes filled with a hint of questioning: "Husband, tell me, do you like Qin Huairu?"

Upon hearing Ye Shuqin's question, Zhang Lei was taken aback for a moment, then retorted, "Shuqin, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly like Qin Huairu?"

Ye Shuqin clearly didn't believe it, saying, "Honey, I saw it all. During the meeting today, you were secretly talking to Qin Huairu, and you even gave her advice to help the Jia family."

Hearing Ye Shuqin's words, Zhang Lei finally understood what was going on and was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He quickly explained, "Shuqin, you've really misunderstood. Qin Huairu and I really have nothing going on. Think about it, you're so beautiful, how can Qin Huairu compare to you?"

At this moment, Ye Shuqi, who was standing to the side, said quietly, "That's not necessarily true. As the saying goes, no garden flower is as fragrant as a wild one."

Hearing Ye Shuqi's words, Ye Shuhua's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She grabbed Zhang Lei's arm and asked in a tearful voice, "Honey, have you really fallen for someone else? Are you going to abandon us?"

Seeing the three sisters' accusations and questions, Zhang Lei felt completely overwhelmed.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Zhang Lei exclaimed helplessly. "I really have absolutely nothing to do with Qin Huairu! It was purely a transaction!"

Ye Shuhua persisted, staring at him with a mixture of belief and doubt: "Really?"

Zhang Lei nodded vigorously, looking at them sincerely: "Really! Absolutely! Think about it, you three sisters are beautiful triplets, how could I possibly abandon my precious family members to go after those ordinary women outside?"

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Ye Shuqin's expression softened slightly, but she still stared at him and asked, "Husband, tell me in detail, what exactly happened between you and Qin Huairu?"

Zhang Lei didn't dare to delay and quickly explained the whole story. Finally, he added, "I really have nothing to do with her. I was just trying to make some money off her. I didn't really want to help the Jia family. I just wanted the Jia family to cause some trouble for Yi Zhonghai and give him a headache."

As he spoke, he took out the 70 yuan he had earned that day from his pocket and placed it on the table: "Look, this is the money I got from Qin Huairu today, I haven't touched a single penny."

Seeing the money, Ye Shuqin finally felt completely relieved. A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she said softly like a student who had done something wrong, "Honey, it's not that I don't trust you, and I know your abilities. It's not that I don't want you to find someone else, it's just... you can't find a married woman. If word gets out, people will gossip behind your back, which won't be good for you or for us sisters."

Hearing Ye Shuqin's words, Zhang Lei was taken aback at first, then quickly waved his hand and retorted, "Shuqin, what are you thinking? Am I that kind of person? Besides, I just like watching the show and can't stand Xu Damao and Jia Zhangshi's faces. I'm already very content with the three of you by my side, how could I possibly think about other women?"

At this moment, Ye Shuqi stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Lei's arm, and said in a coquettish tone, "Honey, then you shouldn't have any more involvement with Qin Huairu in the future. Our family isn't short of money."

Hearing Ye Shuqi's words, Zhang Lei immediately felt that this girl still didn't completely trust him, so he raised his hand and assured her, "Don't worry, I will never have anything to do with Qin Huairu in the future, and I will only be good to the three of you."

After hearing Zhang Lei's words, Ye Shuhua immediately rushed over and hugged his waist, saying happily, "Honey, I knew you were the best to us."

Zhang Lei looked at the three of them, a slight smile playing on his lips. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Shuqi leaned closer, deliberately putting on a stern face, and said, "Just saying it isn't enough; you have to remember it."

Zhang Lei deliberately frowned: "The three of you didn't trust me just now. Tonight, I'll give you a 'chain education' to teach you a lesson."

Ye Shuqi, on the contrary, was not afraid at all. She glared at him and said, "Come on then, who's afraid of you?"

Seeing Ye Shuqi's defiant attitude, Zhang Lei didn't say a word, but simply picked her up by the waist and carried her to the bedroom.

Ye Shuqin called out from behind, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Zhang Lei turned around and smiled: "Let's educate them together."

After saying that, he hoisted Ye Shuqin onto his shoulder and strode into the bedroom.

The three girls looked shy and adorable.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lei could no longer contain his anger. He quickly took off his coat, revealing his muscular chest.

Ye Shuqin watched Zhang Lei approach step by step. Although her face still held a stubbornness, a hint of panic had already appeared in her eyes. Just as she was about to say something, Zhang Lei pounced on her and pinned her down.

"Ugh..." Ye Shuqin's protest was instantly swallowed up.

Ye Shuqi and Ye Shuhua, who were standing nearby, were so frightened by what they saw that they tried to run away, but Zhang Lei grabbed their wrists.

"Trying to run?" Zhang Lei grinned wickedly, a dangerous glint in his eyes. "Weren't you pretty tough just now? Who's afraid of who?"

Ye Shuqi bit her lip, her face as red as a ripe apple, but she still forced herself to say, "I...I'm not scared at all!"

"Alright, let's all go together!"

Zhang Lei gave a low shout, and a sound that made everyone blush immediately filled the room.

(Ten thousand words omitted here...)

After an unknown amount of time, this "intense lesson" finally came to an end.

The three sisters, Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua, were clinging to Zhang Lei like octopuses, too exhausted to even move a finger. Their faces were flushed with an alluring blush, and their eyes were glazed over.

Although Zhang Lei was somewhat tired, his spirits were unusually high. He reached out and pinched Ye Shuqin's smooth cheek, asking with a smile, "So, my dear wives, do you believe me now?"

Ye Shuqin opened one eye, rolled her eyes at him, and said weakly, "You're such a bad guy...all you do is bully us..."

Ye Shuqi grumbled in agreement, "Yeah... I'm exhausted... I'll never talk back to you again..."

Ye Shuhua snuggled against Zhang Lei like a kitten, mumbling sleepily, "Honey... you're amazing..."

Zhang Lei laughed heartily, feeling incredibly satisfied. He held the three beauties tightly in his arms, feeling their warm body temperature and soft touch, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Soon, in Zhang Lei's arms, the three sisters, feeling a great sense of security, gradually drifted into a sweet dream.
