A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 525 Simultaneous Processing
Rebellious period, this term is not unfamiliar to later generations.

But nowadays, it is a fashionable term.

Whenever He Yuzhu had troubles that he couldn't solve, he would habitually come to Li Xiang.

This was the first time he heard this word and its meaning from Li Xiang, and he found it quite new.

"Brother, what you mean is that Xiaoyong is in this rebellious period now, and he likes to do the opposite of others."

"It's more or less the same. Otherwise, how can I explain it? Neither the positive nor the negative way of speaking works. This grown-up child just won't listen to reason." Li Xiang brewed the tea and handed it to him.

He Yuzhu took it with both hands and brought it to his mouth, but stopped halfway and put the teacup back.

"What should we do? Now, the child's mother is almost dying of worry. She is worried every day, afraid that the uncle and aunt will come to our house to talk about this matter."

Li Xiang raised his head from his teacup and replied with a strange expression: "Go ahead and look for it. What are you afraid of?"

He Yuzhu, who was originally hunched over, straightened up all of a sudden and said anxiously, "No, did you listen carefully to what I said just now? The rumors are spreading like wildfire outside. If the uncle and his family can't stand it and come to our family to ask for an explanation, what should I do? Juanzi and I agree, but the child disagrees."

Li Xiang calmly put the teacup back on the table and asked calmly, "So?"

He Yuzhu was confused. He suddenly found that he couldn't understand what Li Xiang said. What did he mean? So, are they both talking about the same question?

Li Xiang ignored him, slowly took a biscuit from the plate and ate it by himself.

His behavior made He Yuzhu even more confused.

He even began to reflect on whether he was too stupid to understand what Li Xiang said.

He Yuzhu stood up, scratched his head, and looked at Li Xiang. He saw Li Xiang eating snacks and drinking tea, looking very comfortable.

Qin Jingru, who was helping in the house, had always been half-focused in the yard.

When she saw the scene in the yard, she hurriedly pulled Qiu Fanghua's sleeve and asked her to look.

Qiu Fanghua looked up and quickly looked away.

She shook her head at Qin Jingru and told her not to worry about them.

She knew at a glance that her husband was acting strangely and teasing her again.

He Yuzhu thought about it for a while, but finally gave in and sat back in his seat.

"Brother, please stop teasing me and at least show me the way."

Li Xiang knew that it was almost done, so he decided to quit.

He held the teacup in his hand, stroking it intermittently, and asked He Yuzhu, "Let me ask you, what do you and your wife think about Xiaobao?"

When asked this, He Yuzhu leaned back in his chair and relaxed.

"I don't mind. He's a little spoiled, but his character is fine. Juanzi has also made it known that as long as my son is willing, she has no objection."

Li Xiang took a sip of tea and gave him a somewhat intriguing look.

This look made He Yuzhu, who had originally relaxed, tense up again.

Li Xiang saw that his expression became nervous again and waved his hand to tell him not to think too much.

But the look in Li Xiang's eyes just now was too mysterious for He Yuzhu, and he couldn't help but think about it.

"I understand your and your husband's attitude, so the crux of the problem lies with Xiaoyong, right?" Li Xiang looked at him with a smile.

He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly. That was what he thought.

Li Xiang stroked the edge of the lamp with his fingers and then made a "tsk" sound.

This another "tsk" made He Yuzhu stretch his body forward with a concerned attitude.

"I say, is there a possibility that you should go to the uncle's house first?"

He Yuzhu endured it again and again, but finally the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn down.

Although he didn't say anything, the look in his eyes when he looked at Li Xiang clearly reflected the following information. "Can you give me a reliable idea?"

Li Xiang explained slowly and calmly: "Since you don't intend to force the child to make his decision, and he says he doesn't want to, then why don't you just do it according to his wishes? Once you talk things out, you won't have so many thoughts to think about."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu frowned and thought for a while, and found that it seemed to be true.

However, he still had some concerns in his mind at this time.

"She's the woman, and it's not nice for us men to come to her house and talk about this so openly."

And you can't just rush up and say, our child said he doesn't plan to date your girl, so you'd better give up.

How shameless of you to do this?

"Who told you to be so careless? Let's be honest. I asked you to reveal the child's intentions, not to go to someone's house and offend them." Li Xiang looked at him with disgust.

He Yuzhu spread his hands and replied like a bachelor: "It's all the same."

Li Xiang shook his head helplessly, there was really nothing he could do about him.

"How about this, I think you are not capable of doing this with your character. Tell Sister Tang what I mean. She will definitely know what to do next."

He Yuzhu had a mind that had to break down and explain the whole story in detail before he could understand it, and Li Xiang, who was too busy to spare any time, really couldn't handle it.

He changed the subject and invited him to have dinner. Then he stuffed a gift into his pocket and sent him away.

After returning home, Sister Tang opened the gift and took a look.

She was surprised and asked, "Why did you bring back a skirt? This bright red color doesn't look like something I can wear."

He Yuzhu, who had drunk a lot of wine at Li's house, was already flushed.

He stammered and recounted to his wife the origin of the skirt and what Li Xiang said today.

Sister Tang pinched her skirt, a thoughtful look on her face.

She confirmed anxiously, "This skirt was originally prepared by their family for their goddaughter. Now they want to take it back and give it to Xiaobao?"

He Yuzhu chuckled and replied, "That's what I mean."

Sister Tang pursed her lips, and she had a plan in her mind. She knew what to do next.

The next morning.

She took the skirt and walked into the aunt's house.

He had a smile on his face when he went in and he had a smile on his face when he came out.

There was only an old lady leaning against the door frame. After she turned around, the stiff smile on her face fell, and her eyes flickered and were replaced by a look of sadness.

What should I do?

An old lady lamented in her heart.

That night, the male owner of the Yi family and his daughter returned home.

Soon, the heart-breaking cry of the daughter was heard from the room.

During this time, the daughter also asked for an explanation, but as soon as she asked, she was stopped by the old man.

It's not a good deal if you push for it. If the man doesn't want to, how can a pure girl come to him and ask for it?

Not only did the uncle not allow his daughter to come to his house to ask, he also ordered her not to get close to He Yong in words or actions in the future.

From then on, the distance between the two children was finally widened.

Later, Li's mother went to ask Li Xiang, and this is how he explained it.

"If you want to deal with it, you should deal with both sides at the same time. Don't be too one-sided and torture others in vain."
