Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 12 A Promise Is a Deal (Please Collect)

"Huh~ I finally managed to get over this for the time being!"

When Li Guoqiang saw Li Dawei show up in time and call Yao Meilan into the house, his heart, which had been in his throat, instantly settled back into his stomach.

Then, he glanced at Luo Huijuan, whose face was uncertain, and Li Guofu, who looked puzzled. He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly realized that anything he said would be redundant.

Before, he and Li Dawei could use the excuse that they did not want to be a parasite in the family and did not want to disappoint and shame his deceased mother. But now, facing Luo Huijuan, a sister who dotes on him, and Li Guofu, a brother who protects him in every way, no matter what he says, it cannot change the fact that he has already hurt their hearts.

After a long silence, a heated argument suddenly broke out in the room, and then it quickly returned to silence.

Then, with the sound of footsteps, Yao Meilan opened the door and walked out. With red eyes, she hugged Li Guoqiang tightly in her arms, and scolded him with some heartache and anger: "Why are you so depressed, kid? Can't you just stay at home and accompany me and your father? Why do you have to care about the nonsense said by those gossipy women in the hospital?"

"I've loved you for so many years in vain. You didn't even tell me about such a big thing in advance!"

"If anything happens to you, how can I face your mother in the future?"

Having said this, she began to wipe away her tears again, which made Li Guoqiang feel a little uncomfortable.

If it weren't for his predecessor's decision to send him to the countryside, and if it weren't for his good brother Li Guofu, he would really want to stay in the city.

After all, no matter what, living conditions in the city will be better for a long time to come.

To exaggerate a little, even in the city, it is relatively easy to find beautiful women.

Who would want to suffer in the countryside when you can stay in the city and enjoy life?

At the same time, Luo Huijuan and Li Guofu, who were standing nearby and watching Yao Meilan hugging Li Guoqiang and wiping her tears, also had tears in their eyes.

Although they didn't know why Li Guoqiang chose to go to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth, seeing Yao Meilan's expression, they had to believe that Li Guoqiang really wanted to go to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth.

Based on their understanding of Li Guoqiang's physical condition, they knew very well what this meant.

This means that Li Guoqiang is likely to never come back!
Thinking that they were about to lose a good younger brother and an older brother forever, they couldn't help feeling sad and upset in their hearts.

Especially Luo Huijuan, she was crying and suddenly turned around and ran into the house, then threw herself on the bed and burst into tears.

When Yao Meilan heard the noise, saw the situation, and thought of something, an extremely complicated expression appeared on her face.

Then she forced herself to hold back her tears and pushed Li Guoqiang into the house.

"Hurry up and go inside to see your sister! You've really broken her heart this time!"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded silently in agreement, then slowly walked into the house.

Soon, he saw Luo Huijuan lying on the bed, crying so hard that her shoulders were shaking.

He paused slightly, then walked gently to Luo Huijuan and sat down, and apologized softly.

"Sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you in advance."

However, Luo Huijuan seemed not to hear what he said, and even cried even more sadly.

Helplessly, he could only reach out and pat Luo Huijuan on the shoulder, then shouted several times in a row, "Sister, sister, sister, please stop crying, okay?"

"I don't need your care. You've already decided not to care about me, so why are you still here to care about me?"

Luo Huijuan suddenly sat up, shook off Li Guoqiang's hand, and then shouted with a sad face.

"Sister, what are you talking about? You are the best sister who loves me the most in this world. Even if I don't want Xiaofu, I can't give up you!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then hurriedly opened his mouth to coax her.

"Then why did you want to go to the countryside to join the production team? You didn't even discuss this big thing with me in advance. Do you still have me as your sister?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Huijuan immediately started to question angrily.

That little look can almost kill people!
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang did not even think about it and immediately imitated his predecessor's behavior. He lowered his head and said pitifully, "Sister, I was wrong!"

"Pretend? You're going to keep pretending? Don't think I'll forgive you if you pretend to be pitiful in front of me! I see that you've grown your wings now, and you dare to make such an important decision secretly by yourself. Why do you still need me to pity you?"

Luo Huijuan glared, then pointed at Li Guoqiang's nose with some indignation and started cursing.

Li Guoqiang slowly raised his head, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.

"Sister, I just don't want to be a useless person hiding behind my family all my life. I want our parents, Xiaofu, and you to be proud of having a son, a brother, and a younger brother like me."

"Every one of us living in this world will die one day."

"If a person can only live under the protection of his family, then what is the meaning of living a long life?"

"Besides, I also told my father that the place I was assigned to this time is in Kanto, which is famous for its abundant ginseng. What if I get lucky and find a hundred-year-old ginseng? Wouldn't that save my body?"

"Who knows, when I come back from there, I will be able to completely take off this sickly hat on my head and become a healthy and normal person!"

"When the time comes, I will marry a wife as virtuous and beautiful as you, give birth to a bunch of children, and they will surround you and call you aunt for candy all day long!"

Hearing this, Luo Huijuan's heart skipped a beat, and then she quickly spat out something with some embarrassment and anger.

"Go away, go away. With your bad character, who would want to marry you?"

Seeing that Luo Huijuan's attitude had softened, Li Guoqiang hurriedly smiled and assured her, "Hehe! Anyway, don't worry about me. I will take good care of myself. I have finally come to this world to live once, and I don't want to lose my life so soon. At least I want to see you get married, have children, and live a happy life."

When Luo Huijuan heard this, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Then, she nodded gently and said seriously, "Okay, then I will wait for you to come back and watch me get married. If you dare not come back, I will never forgive you in my life."

Li Guoqiang was delighted when he heard this, and then he nodded and agreed without even thinking, "Okay, it's a deal!"

At this point, he had temporarily passed the test of Luo Huijuan.

Next, he only needs to find a way to deal with Li Guofu and comfort Yao Meilan, then the family turmoil caused by his private decision to go to the countryside to join the team can be basically settled.

Just when he was feeling happy about this, a scream suddenly came from the west wing in the backyard of the courtyard.
