My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 259: Liang Ladi Stays Overnight at Zhang Lei's House

The two sat down somewhat awkwardly. Ding Qiunan saw the bicycle outside and exclaimed in surprise, "Honey, this bicycle?"

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "This is from Xiao'e."

Ding Qiunan quickly went to Lou Xiao'e and said, "Xiao'e, did you really bring her here?"

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile, "I brought it with me. Take a look and see if it suits you. If it does, you can ride it to work tomorrow."

Ding Qiunan nodded and quickly tried out the bicycle. The bicycle Lou Xiao'e brought was really nice. Ye Shuqi didn't work, and Ding Qiunan had been using her bicycle. Now that Ding Qiunan had her own bike and didn't have to use Ye Shuqi's anymore, she couldn't help but take a closer look. Liang Ladi, watching from the side, felt another wave of envy.

Soon, under the care of Ding Qiunan and Zhang Lei, Liang Ladi also sat down at the table to eat. Looking at the sumptuous meal at Zhang Lei's house, she couldn't help but glance at Zhang Lei a few more times.

Ding Qiunan asked, "Honey, is today's feast so lavish?"

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "These are all brought by Xiao'e from the Lou family. You're in for a treat today."

Everyone praised Lou Xiao'e again. Liang Ladi was a little unsure what to eat, and Ding Qiunan, seeing her flustered appearance, quickly kept putting food on her plate to avoid an awkward situation.

After finishing their meal quickly, Ding Qiunan pulled Zhang Lei and Liang Ladi aside and said, "Honey, I told Liang Ladi what you told me before, and she wants to hear your opinion."

Zhang Lei looked at Liang Ladi and asked with a smile, "Liang Ladi, are you really willing to come to the steel mill?"

Liang Ladi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm willing."

Zhang Lei asked doubtfully, "Liang Ladi, do you have someone you like where you are? I don't want to break you up because of work."

Liang Ladi shook her head and said, "Besides my four children, I have no one else."

Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Liang Ladi, I have someone in mind. Let me tell you about his family situation first. If you're willing, I'll help you with the introduction; if you're not, we'll think of something else."

Liang Ladi nodded. Zhang Lei looked at her and said, "This person is from our hospital, his name is He Yuzhu, nicknamed 'Silly Zhu'. But he's not really stupid, he's just very straightforward. He had an accident a while ago, and he might have some problems in that area. I asked the doctor, and he's just infertile, but he still has sexual function."

Liang Ladi frowned and said, "Then wouldn't he be disabled?"

Zhang Lei nearly spat out his tea. After thinking for a moment, he said, "What you're saying isn't entirely unreasonable. But I think if you want to live in Beijing, you definitely need a place to stay. It's better for two people to work and earn money to support the family than for one person to do it alone. Besides, He Yuzhu is a cook; even in a famine, a cook won't starve. His skills are quite good. His father, He Daqing, is the director of the textile factory's canteen. Although he's remarried, it won't affect your life, and his family has enough space."

Liang Ladi thought for a moment and said, "Can I meet him first? If you put it that way, I don't really have any impression of him."

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Alright, whenever you have time, I'll arrange for you two to meet and have a good talk. If you agree, I'll help you mediate; if you don't, we'll make other plans."

Liang Ladi nodded and said, "This Sunday, let's take a day off."

Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll talk to He Yuzhu about it. You can just come to my house on Sunday."

Seeing that it was getting late, Ding Qiunan said, "Honey, why don't we let Liang Ladi stay at home tonight? It's not safe for her to go back alone as a woman."

Zhang Lei thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay then." He talked to Ye Shuqin about it, since there were many people in the family and the house was not big enough.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuqin smiled and said, "Honey, tonight Qiu Nan and Xiao E will sleep with you. The three of us sisters will share a room, and the guests will share another. That way, we'll have more space, won't we?"

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Alright then, that's the only way."

Lying in bed that night, Zhang Lei was filled with excitement and said with a smile, "I have to thank Liang Ladi for coming today so I can enjoy the blessings of having two women."

Ding Qiunan said, "If you're not afraid of being attacked, then keep dreaming."

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "You, it seems, still don't understand your man's capabilities."

Hearing the sounds of pleasure coming from the next room, Liang Ladi couldn't help but groan, her face flushing. After all, she was a mother of four; how could she not know what was going on next door? Four hours of continuous noise was becoming unbearable for her. She even wanted to press her ear against the wall to hear what was happening—was it a person or a donkey on the other side?

The next morning, Zhang Lei woke up feeling refreshed. Looking at the two still fast asleep, he couldn't help but feel smug. He patted one of them on the shoulder and said, "Little sleepyhead, get up now."

Ding Qiunan rubbed her tired body and said, "Honey, you're a real beast."

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Who told you to show off? I have to demonstrate my strength, right?"

Lou Xiao'e, with her head down, said, "Can you two stop arguing? I need to sleep."

Ding Qiunan said enviously, "Xiao'e, you're so comfortable. I still have to go to work." She tried to get out of bed, almost falling. Zhang Lei quickly supported her, saying, "Alright, rest a bit, get used to it, otherwise you won't be able to walk."

Ding Qiunan said angrily, "That's all your fault."

Zhang Lei quickly begged for forgiveness, saying, "Good wife, I was wrong, I was wrong."

After the two got dressed and opened the door, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Liang Ladi with panda eyes. Liang Ladi looked at her and immediately turned her head away.

Seeing Liang Ladi's appearance, Ye Shuhua asked curiously, "Liang Ladi, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well? Why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes?"

Liang Ladi said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. How can I sleep with people fighting?"

Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, and Ye Shuhua couldn't help but burst out laughing. They ran to Zhang Lei's side and said with a smile, "Honey, those night owls kept us up for so long last night, they didn't let our guests get any rest. What do you suggest we do?"

Zhang Lei said without embarrassment, "I'll treat you to breakfast." He then ran out of the courtyard to buy breakfast.

Soon, Zhang Lei returned carrying a large pile of things, and the group quickly sat down to eat. Liang Ladi also sat down at Ding Qiunan's insistence.

Zhang Lei looked at the group and said, "I bought five cups of soy milk and one cup of soy juice. Whoever drinks it gets to keep it."
