Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

Chapter 233 Unnecessary Worry

It was already nine o'clock when Zhou Zheng left Ran Qiuye's house. He was still frightened when he thought of the "trial" at home.

He was not afraid of Tian Xinyue and He Yushui, but of Yu Wanrong, as if it came from instinct.

But what is coming will eventually come, and he has to face it, so his steps are a little heavy.

The smell of fireworks and firecrackers still lingers in the air, which shows that even on New Year's Day, which is not taken seriously, some wealthy people are still willing to set off firecrackers.

This does not mean that Zhou Zheng is not a rich man, but it is not appropriate to set off firecrackers in the yard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang except during the New Year. After all, that place cannot stand too many people having good things happen to them.

Unexpectedly, the New Year's Day of that year was closed for three days, including the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Cotton Mill, Brick Kiln Factory, and Clothing Factory.

When Zhou Zheng returned to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, most of the residents were at home.

Some people who follow fashion will even say a few auspicious words, just like during the Spring Festival. When they meet such people, Zhou Zheng will also reply with an auspicious word, so more and more people start to say auspicious words.

There was a crowd gathered in front of Yan Fugui's door just like yesterday, and the program on TV was the morning news.

I really don’t know why this group of people can watch the morning news with such gusto and are willing to pay the 1-cent ticket price set by Yan Fugui.

He ignored them and winked at Yu Li and Yan Jiedi in front of the TV, flirting with them secretly. Then he stepped into the east corner courtyard, from where he could see the gate of his house.

The gate of his house was open. Zhou Zheng guessed that it must have been Yu Wanrong who opened it, because neither Tian Xinyue nor He Yushui would leave the gate wide open.

When I walked into the east wing, I saw my mother Yu Wanrong holding an enamel basin and preparing to go out to wash clothes.

"Mom, what are you doing? Don't you have a washing machine at home? Why don't you use it? It's winter, won't your hands be cold?"

"Don't be so hypocritical. Using a washing machine doesn't waste electricity. Besides, we used to wash clothes this way, and there's nothing wrong with washing them this way now. Besides, it's busy outside, so we can't just shut ourselves up."

"That's fine, but you have to dry your hands after washing the clothes. It's better to apply some vanishing cream, otherwise it will easily crack when the wind blows. By the way, Mom, have you eaten?"

"Eat, eat. You won't starve as long as Yu Shui is here. But you'd better go and comfort Xin Yue and Yu Shui. How can you be so kind as to go and do that with other women and leave your own woman at home?"

Zhou Zheng didn't expect his mother to not lose her temper, and she didn't even blame him. This made him relax a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled awkwardly, "Oh, Mom, Ye Zi is my girlfriend now."

Yu Wanrong shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You, you, just do it. If your father dares to do this to me, I will break his legs."

Zhou Zheng said with a playful smile: "So I am your dear son, mother. Don't you want your son to marry many wives and honor you together?"

Yu Wanrong said unhappily, "Come on, come on, come on, just don't get mad at me. There's food left for you on the table, and don't tell me you've eaten it. It was left specially for you by Yu Shui, so finish it even if you're not hungry."

Zhou Zheng blushed, then said playfully, "Yes, mother."

Yu Wanrong rolled her eyes and snorted, "I don't know where you learned this weird word. Come on, go back to the house. Mom is going to do the laundry."

After she said this, she carried the enamel basin and left the east courtyard.

Zhou Zhengze looked at Yu Wanrong's back and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. It must be said that it was really a happy thing to have a mother around.

He didn't go back into the house until he could no longer see his mother.

The living room was very clean, at least cleaner than before Yu Wanrong returned. He thought that his mother was really a hardworking person.

Then he saw that there was food left for him on the table.

While feeling happy, I also smiled helplessly. After having breakfast at Ran Qiuye's house, I am not really hungry now.

But he thought of what his mother had said and walked towards the dining table.

At this time, Tian Xinyue and He Yushui came out of the bedroom talking and laughing. They were dressed up and looked very fashionable.

They also saw Zhou Zheng, and their eyes met, the atmosphere becoming slightly awkward.

Zhou Zheng was about to explain, but Tian Xinyue waved her hand and said, "Stop talking. I don't want to hear your lies. Yu Shui and I both understand. Teacher Ran is not bad. It will be no problem for her to marry into our family. Let's eat quickly. After dinner, take Mom to visit Wangfujing."

He Yushui smiled sweetly at Zhou Zheng but didn't say much.

Zhou Zheng nodded, then sat down and started eating.

Tian Xinyue looked through the window into the yard, but didn't see Yu Wanrong, so she asked, "Where's Mom?"

Zhou Zheng replied while eating, "He said he was going to wash clothes and went to the middle courtyard."

He Yushui pouted, "Why don't you just ask grandma to put the clothes in the washing machine? Why do you wash them yourself?"

Zhou Zhengdao: "They can't sit still. People of their generation are very hardworking. Let her go. If we stop her, she might get angry."

Tian Xinyue agreed with Zhou Zheng's point of view, so she said, "Okay, then you eat first, Yushui and I will go see mom."

Zhou Zheng waved his hand, "Go ahead, go ahead. I forgot to tell mom to be on guard against Qin Huairu. It's a good opportunity for you to go and remind her. Don't let the vampires target our mom."

Tian Xinyue curled her lips, "Well, it doesn't matter whether she is targeting us or not. Even if she is not targeting our mother, Qin Huairu has borrowed things from our house many times. She has been here less often, so she can really refuse."

Zhou Zheng was stunned. To be honest, he didn't have much contact with Qin Huairu.

The reason is very simple. Although the two are of similar seniority, the age difference between them is quite large, so there is no chance for them to contact each other at all.

He had come into contact with Qin Huairu several times when he had just traveled to this world, but he did not have a good impression of her. It can be said that his understanding of Qin Huairu was still at the initial stage, or at the stage when he read the original work in his previous life.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Well, let me ask you something. Has Qin Huairu ever borrowed money from our family?"

Tian Xinyue said: "Excuse me, why do you ask?"

Zhou Zheng said: "Because people say that she borrowed money and didn't pay it back."

Tian Xinyue shook her head in amusement, "Who said that? That's too vicious. Qin Huairu has borrowed money from our family several times and always paid it back on time. It's not like what you said at all."

Zhou Zheng exclaimed "Ah" in surprise, and then looked at He Yushui.

He Yushui shrugged, "I have to admit that it is true. Qin Huairu has changed a lot since Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady, and Jia Zhang left the compound."

Zhou Zheng sighed, "That's really fate playing tricks on us."

He Yushui curled her lips, "Who said it wasn't?"

Tian Xinyue interrupted, "Alright, alright, Yushui and I will go see Mom. Mom just returned to the main courtyard. If I leave her alone to wash clothes in the middle courtyard, outsiders will say that I, as a daughter-in-law, am ignorant."

Zhou Zheng said: "That can't be possible. Who dares to say anything about me in this hospital? But I can go over to accompany my mother or chat with her."

But at this moment, Yu Wanrong came back with an enamel basin.

As soon as she entered the door, she complained angrily: "Oh, what kind of broken water pipe is this? It's frozen. It's not even cold today. It's just causing me trouble."

He Yushui asked doubtfully, "No way, when I was cooking, we had water at home. Maybe the water supply was cut off."

As she spoke, she walked to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. Seeing that no water was flowing out, she closed the faucet, then walked out of the bathroom and said to Yu Wanrong, "Mother-in-law, it's not cold, it's just that the water supply has been cut off. I think the water will be back in the afternoon."

Yu Wanrong said, "Oh, so that's how it is. I have to tell Xiao Qin. She is still using boiling water to scald the keel. I can't let her foolishly cook for nothing."

He Yushui rushed out first, and her sweet voice was heard.

"Mother-in-law, you take a rest, I'll go tell her."

There was no chance for Yu Wanrong to refuse.
