Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 355: Aid Korea, Mom and Dad have something to ask you.

After walking around the screen wall and entering the inner courtyard, Ma Xiufang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the lights in He Yuanchao's house were still on.

She was really worried that the young couple would go out to see a movie or something and wouldn't be at home at this time.

Ma Xiufang quickly came to the door of He Yuanchao's house. She didn't hesitate to knock on the door and said, "Yuanchao, open the door."

It has been quite a while since He Yuanchao and Zhang Min came back, but the excitement in their hearts has not subsided yet.

Especially He Yuanchao, his eyes looked at Zhang Min's flat belly from time to time, and he asked if she wanted to eat sour food, and then asked if she wanted to eat spicy food, which was very noisy.

Zhang Min said a few words, but seeing that He Yuanchao was still doing his own thing, she simply ignored him and listened to her man's nagging with a smile on her face.

Just when they were discussing whether the child's name would be the same as Shazhu, Yushui and the others, they suddenly heard Ma Xiufang's voice coming from the door.

The couple was stunned for a moment, but then He Yuanchao stood up, walked to the door and opened it.

Seeing Zhang Lide and Ma Xiufang standing at the door, He Yuanchao was a little confused. Why did the old couple come so late? Did they hear that Zhang Min was pregnant?
He Yuanchao was thinking in his heart, and his mouth was not idle either, and he said with a smile on his face: "Mom and Dad, why are you two here? Come in quickly."

As he spoke, He Yuanchao moved aside to give the two of them a way into the house.

Zhang Min also came to the door at this time. Seeing her parents come in, although she was a little surprised, she thought the same as He Yuanchao, that they knew about her pregnancy.

"Dad, Mom, how did you get the news so quickly? Who told you?"

Zhang Lide and Ma Xiufang were thinking about Zhang Zhao's matter. No one noticed the tone of Zhang Min's voice. They both thought that their daughter had also heard about Zhang Zhao's matter!
Ma Xiufang looked at him as if she was talking nonsense, and said in surprise, "Who else could have told us this? Your brother had just gotten into trouble and your sister-in-law called us."

After hearing what Ma Xiufang said, Zhang Min and He Yuanchao also realized that they had both misunderstood each other.

"Mom, what happened to my brother?"

Seeing Zhang Min's anxious look, He Yuanchao was afraid that it would affect the baby she was pregnant with, so he hurried forward and helped her sit on the chair and said:
"Don't be anxious, wife. Let mom and dad sit down and have a drink of water first."

After persuading Zhang Min, He Yuanchao quickly greeted the elderly couple Zhang Lide and Ma Xiufang.

"Mom and Dad, you guys sit down too. Let's sit down and talk slowly about what happened to my brother."

As he spoke, He Yuanchao took the thermos on the dining table with one hand and a cup with the other hand and placed it in front of Zhang Lide and started pouring water.

From the time Zhang Lide entered the room to the time he sat down, he didn't say another word except "I'm here".

Seeing this, Ma Xiufang rolled her eyes at her husband, turned her head and looked at He Yuanchao who was pouring water, and said, "Yuanchao, stop busying yourself. Mom and Dad came here today to ask you for something."

After hearing what his mother-in-law said, He Yuanchao's hand trembled as he poured water, and then he immediately smiled and said:

"Mom, don't ask for help. We are a family. If you need anything, just ask me."

"Then I won't be polite to you."

Ma Xiufang looked at He Yuanchao carefully, and seeing that he was sincere and not at all perfunctory, she spoke and explained her purpose.

"Last month, your eldest brother-in-law Zhang Zhao took advantage of his job to embezzle 1,000 kilograms of cornmeal, 200 kilograms of flour, and 20 sets of new military uniforms from their military logistics..."

"Ah~~"

Hearing this, Zhang Min, who had just calmed down, couldn't help but exclaimed, "How could my brother do such a thing? He is so brave."

"Who said it wasn't?" Ma Xiufang was not angry when she was interrupted, and continued Zhang Min's words:

"Now that he's been detained by the army, your father and I don't have any other options. We can only shamelessly come to ANC, hoping to ask his godmother Liu Lihua to ask his brother to intercede with the army over there and let your bastard brother go."

Zhang Min was a little confused about what his brother Zhang Zhao was doing with these things. After listening to Ma Xiufang's words, she asked without waiting for He Yuanchao to respond:
"My brother should have plenty of food and clothing in the army! Do you know why he risked his life to get these things?"

When this matter was mentioned, Ma Xiufang, who had a face full of resentment just now, changed her expression instantly. She put the cup of water she had just picked up on the table and angrily told Zhang Min the cause of the incident.

"Speaking of this makes me so angry. This is all your sister-in-law Lv Wenli's fault. If she hadn't instigated your brother to help her brother, your brother wouldn't have gotten into this trouble..."

Ahem~~
Zhang Lide, who was standing by, saw Ma Xiufang talking endlessly about her daughter-in-law's trivial matters, delaying her business, so he coughed twice.

After Zhang Lide's reminder, Ma Xiufang finally remembered the purpose of her coming here. She quickly stopped talking to Zhang Min and turned to look at He Yuanchao who was sitting next to her.

"Yuan Chao, Mom knows this matter is difficult for you, but your godmother Liu Lihua may be the only one who can help us at this time."

Is it difficult? To be honest, He Yuanchao was actually reluctant to agree to this.

If this matter could be done by himself or Liu Lihua, He Yuanchao would not hesitate at all, but since it involved Liu Zhenhua, someone he was not very familiar with, he felt somewhat resistant.

He Yuanchao did not know Liu Zhenhua's temper and personality, and was afraid of being rejected and embarrassed, so he did not back down. The most important thing was that he was afraid that this matter would bring trouble to his godmother Liu Lihua.

She helped, but she was afraid that Liu Lihua's family would say that she had poor vision by adopting a man who was trying to curry favor with her and take advantage of her as his godson.

If I don't help, how will the relationship between mother and daughter be in the future? Even if He Yuanchao doesn't mind, Liu Lihua is a thoughtful person. How can she not think too much?
……

Just as he was hesitating whether to decline the offer, he turned around and saw Ma Xiufang looking at him eagerly. He Yuanchao couldn't say no at all.

"Mom and Dad, I can talk to my godmother Liu Lihua about this, but I can't guarantee whether she will agree or not."

Seeing that her son-in-law had agreed to this matter, Ma Xiufang quickly took over the conversation and said, "It is a favor for them to help us in this matter. If they don't help us, we can't blame anyone."

"Your mother is right."

The matter came to an end. Zhang Lide, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "At this time, it is understandable that people are unwilling to help."

After saying this, Zhang Lide paused and said solemnly: "If your godmother is willing to lend us a hand, don't make it difficult for her. Just make sure that the bastard doesn't get punished and comes out in one piece..."

Normally, Ma Xiufang seldom interrupted Zhang Lide when he was talking, but at this moment she would add a few words from time to time.

After the old couple finished their instructions, He Yuanchao raised his hand and looked at the time.

"Mom and Dad, it's almost nine o'clock. I have to hurry up and leave in case my godmother is still asleep."

"Don't worry, even if your godmother goes to bed early, Minister Chen will definitely not sleep."

Zhang Lide said he was not in a hurry, but before He Yuanchao had put on his coat, he had already stood up and walked to the door to wait.

At the same time, Zhang Min and Ma Xiufang also stood up and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, He Yuanchao was afraid that if things didn't go smoothly, Zhang Min would not be able to accept it, and that excessive emotional fluctuations would be bad for the fetus in her belly, so he quickly spoke out to stop her:
"Wife, don't go. Wait at home and you can open the door for me later."
