Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 245

“But I’m not a man.” Elena felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of He Yuzhu’s strange request.

This morning I thought he was just bragging and making empty boasts, but I never expected that He Yuzhu would get a car without me even realizing it.

"Stop arguing, I'll take you for a drive."

Elena tried to run away, but He Yuzhu picked her up, stuffed her into the car, started the engine, and sped off towards the outskirts of the city.

It was early summer, and Elena boldly played happily by the pond in the wild, striking poses for photos as He Yuzhu requested.

Afterwards, they would bathe and swim in the pond, which was quite novel for the city-raised girl.

By the time they took her back and returned to the alley, it was already very late. When they entered the house, they were surprised to find Huizhi holding Xiuer and frantically feeding her with a bottle.

Question: "Where's your sister?"

"Brother-in-law, you're back!"

Huizhi's voice was full of surprise, and she quickly said, "You'd better hurry and go see, something terrible has happened at He Yongqiang's wedding today."

"What happened?"

"Weren't we just having a wedding night prank? He Yongqiang's cousin went too far and started arguing with the bride."

"in argument?"

He Yuzhu was surprised. Before the wedding, when he returned to the courtyard house, he happened to meet Xu Zhaodi and told her that marriage is a major event in life, and no matter how much others make a fuss, he should not lose his temper.

The wedding should be a success, with the bride moving in smoothly. Then the couple can run their little tavern and make a living, ensuring their future is comfortable.

Xu Zhaodi readily agreed at the time, but unexpectedly, they still ended up arguing.

Huizhi said, "That's not all. After arguing for a few minutes, the two almost came to blows. He Yongqiang was ashamed and slapped his new bride. Then the bride started arguing that she wanted to go back. Her father-in-law tried to persuade her, but he was also scolded and had a heart attack."

"What? Is it that serious?"

"Yes, thankfully there were many people around at the time, and they managed to get Old He to the hospital. I wonder how he is now."

He Yuzhu was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. Did Xu Zhaodi not want to live a normal life anymore?

However, the two had already obtained their marriage certificate and paid their respects to heaven and earth. Even if they didn't consummate their marriage, in other people's eyes, Xu Zhaodi was already a woman.

"So what's the situation now?"

Huizhi said, "The He family's relatives all went to the hospital. Fortunately, the banquet for the evening has ended, and my sister is currently there with the bride who is about to leave."

"How did things turn out like this?"

He Yuzhu was very annoyed. If he were there, things wouldn't have turned out this way. But now that the goods have finally been released, he still needs to get them out as soon as possible.

It was quite a coincidence that the two things happened at the same time. It was He Yuzhu's first time acting as a matchmaker, and he never expected things to escalate so quickly.

When a bride is teased, it's considered wedding pranks. Xu Zhaodi could have just tolerated it, but she lost her temper, which was wrong.

On the very first day of their marriage, the husband angered his father so much that he ended up in the hospital. No one knows the extent of his illness. If anything were to happen to him, the couple would not be able to continue their marriage.

I just hope Old He is alright. After all, he should have died in five or six years, and he still has a year left to live.

"Then you stay home and take care of the children, I'll go over and see what's going on."

"Yeah, brother-in-law, be careful. That bride seems like she's going to be unreasonable."

"Yes, I know, my Huizhi is still the most well-behaved."

These words made Huizhi blush. He Yuzhu bent down and kissed her before going into the neighboring yard.

The big red "double happiness" characters were still pasted on the gate, walls, and windows. It was quiet, and no one came from the front to the backyard. Only the lights were on in the east wing.

He Yuzhu coughed once before entering the side room.

Through the open single door, one could see Xu Zhaodi, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, sitting on the edge of the bed with a sullen face.

Xu Huizhen kept trying to persuade him from the side, but when she turned around and saw He Yuzhu coming in, her face immediately relaxed. She stood up and walked out, asking, "Have you finished your business?"

"Alright, put all the goods in the backyard of the shop at the front gate."

Xu Huizhen nodded and whispered, "You know about what happened today?"

"Huizhi told me everything, what's the situation now?"

Xu Huizhen said, "You should quickly persuade your neighbor; he's still thinking about going back."

Xu Zhaodi, who was inside the house, shouted, "I'm going back! Sha Zhu, don't try to persuade me. This is no way to bully people like this. I can't live like this anymore!"

Xu Huizhen gave her a "you'd better watch yourself" look, and then said, "I'm going back now."

"Yes, I'll try to persuade her."

After seeing Xu Huizhen out and closing the door, Xu Zhaodi was already standing in front of him with a package in her hand.

"Why did you stand behind me without saying a word? Do you know how scary it can be?"

"You deserved to be scared to death, you stupid Zhu! What kind of relationship did you give me? That guy surnamed He just bullies people, look how badly he slapped me!"

As she spoke, Xu Zhaodi stretched out her face and pointed with her finger. Several handprints could be vaguely seen on it, indicating that He Yongqiang had hit her quite hard.

"Alright, don't you know what you've done? Everyone's just having fun. The angrier and more uncooperative you are, the more they like to cause trouble. If you just obediently give in, the wedding night pranks will be over and there won't be any more problems."

"Why should I listen to them? Besides, they actually want me to kiss someone surnamed He? I don't want to."

Xu Zhaodi was also angry, feeling that the He family was bullying her. The wedding dress was not hers, and the style and material were inferior. She was also not satisfied with the betrothal gifts. She was already a little angry today, and when the wedding night came, she suddenly exploded.

He Yuzhu advised, "I know Old He is a bit stingy, but after all, they only have He Yongqiang in their family. The savings they've accumulated will eventually be yours!"

"I don't want to, move aside and let me go home."

He Yuzhu also lost his temper and dragged her to the bedside. Xu Zhaodi, of course, was unwilling and twisted from side to side. When she was put on the bed, she hugged He Yuzhu directly.

"Let go."

"I'm not loose."

Xu Zhaodi pouted her bright red lips and exclaimed, "Silly Zhu, you know I've always liked you."

"How dare you say that? You even tried to harm me last time."

Hearing this, Xu Zhaodi felt embarrassed and remembered He Yuzhu's charming hands from last time, which made her feel hot all over.

Xu Zhaodi's exquisitely made-up face instantly turned red, and even her fair and delicate ears became translucent and pink.

She whispered, "Silly Zhu, I just want to marry you."

"Alright, now that I'm married, and you're married too, let's not talk about these things anymore. I don't blame you."

"No, I'm going to tell you."

Xu Zhaodi was already angry today and was utterly disappointed in He Yongqiang. After all, they had only agreed to the marriage after being introduced to each other, and there was no emotional foundation between them.

Suddenly an idea popped into her head. With a sudden twist of her slender waist, she pushed He Yuzhu down onto the bed. Then, Xu Zhaodi straddled his lower abdomen, pressed down on He Yuzhu's hands, and lay down on her stomach.

"Shazhu, I apologize to you today and offer myself to you as a gift."

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

He Yuzhu was silenced before he could finish his sentence.

I had a fierce battle with Elena in the wilderness all night, and I was already quite exhausted, so I couldn't break free for a while.

.....

"Are you crazy, you little brat?"

"I'm happy, I'm willing."

Although she was very uncomfortable, Xu Zhaodi was very defiant and still spoke toughly.

Then she slowed down and said softly, "Brother Zhu, I'm your woman now too."

"You're crazy."

“I’m crazy, but I’m willing. I’m happy to give you my body. Who told He Yongqiang to hit me? I’ll make him a cuckold today.”

Then he asked, "Brother Zhu, don't you like it? I'll listen to you from now on."

Xu Zhaodi knew that although the He family was relatively wealthy, they were still far inferior to He Yuzhu.

Since she can't be He Yuzhu's wife, being his mistress isn't so bad.

Today was also a coincidence. Old He and He Yongqiang both left, and she was still wearing her wedding dress in the bridal chamber. By pushing He Yuzhu against her will, it was equivalent to marrying him.

Although Xu Zhaodi herself is unreasonable, she is not stupid. Otherwise, she would not have been able to pass the high school entrance exam. She knows that if she makes a scene, she will have no hope of marrying He Yuzhu.

He'll only despise you.

As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a stolen affair. Therefore, Xu Zhaodi never thought about having such a good thing. She only thought that she and He Yuzhu could secretly have some fun together when they had time.

"What am I supposed to do now?"

"What's so difficult about it? I've practically delivered it to your doorstep, aren't you going to take it?"

Seeing He Yuzhu looking worried, she leaned down and whispered, "Brother Zhu, as long as you think of me often, I will behave myself and not make a fuss, and live a peaceful life with He Yongqiang."

This is to show He Yuzhu her attitude: although she is being unreasonable today, she will not make trouble or try to do anything.

As long as He Yuzhu remembers his kindness and thinks of him, and since the two families are neighbors separated by only one wall, there will be plenty of opportunities to be happy again in the future.

He Yuzhu sighed. He had already taken Xu Zhaodi's most precious possession, and now he had no choice but to go down this dark path.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu stopped being coy, flipped Xu Zhaodi over, and began to act as the groom.
