My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 418: Liang Ladi and Liu Hongchang's Blind Date

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but say, "Honey, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Watching Zhang Lei and Ding Qiunan playfully bickering, Liang Ladi couldn't help but say enviously, "You two have such a good relationship."

Zhang Lei's other wives also treated Liang Ladi with great courtesy.

As darkness fell, Ding Qiunan arranged for the postpartum nanny to prepare a guest room for Liang Ladi and the baby. Around the same time, Ding Qiunan arrived at Liang Ladi's room.

Liang Ladi smiled and said to Ding Qiunan, "Qiunan, thank you. Da Mao and the others haven't been this happy in a long time."

Ding Qiunan said with a smile, "Isn't this all your fault? I've been trying to get you to come every day, but you just wouldn't come, always saying you were busy."

Liang Ladi laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. I'm the only one working in our family, and I have so many kids to feed, care for, and look after. Where do I find the time?"

Upon hearing Liang Ladi's words, Ding Qiunan smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about finding one?"

Liang Ladi said, "I've thought about it, of course I've thought about it! But all the men I've met on blind dates are ugly and unattractive, I can't stand them. When I, Liang Ladi, choose, I choose the ones I like."

Ding Qiunan said with a smile, "Is that so? Well then, I'll get right to it."

Hearing Ding Qiunan's mysterious tone, Liang Ladi quickly urged her, "Spit it out if you have something to say."

Upon hearing Liang Ladi's words, Ding Qiunan immediately put on a stern face and said, "Look at yourself, how can you talk like that?"

Liang Ladi said with a smile, "I just like to say that."

Ding Qiunan said, "Fine, fine, say whatever you want."

Soon, Ding Qiunan repeated what Zhang Lei had said earlier about introducing Liu Hongchang to Liang Ladi. Upon hearing this, Liang Ladi suddenly realized, "Oh! I thought you specifically sent me here to have fun, but there's more to this story."

Ding Qiunan said with a smile, "It's true that I invited you here to have fun, and it's also true that I wanted you to go on a blind date, but the two things don't conflict."

Liang Ladi looked at Ding Qiunan and said with a smile, "Alright, since we're already here, I'll do whatever you say."

Hearing Liang Ladi say this, Ding Qiunan finally felt relieved. She had been worried that Liang Ladi would simply say, "I won't see you."

After leaving Liang Ladi's house, Ding Qiunan went straight to Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Let's take Liang Ladi around Beijing for a day first, and then arrange their blind date. As for whether it works out or not, that's up to fate."

Ding Qiunan nodded and said, "Honey, Liang Ladi has indeed had a tough time these past few years. It would be really helpful for a woman to raise so many children on her own. I hope Liang Ladi can seize this opportunity."

Zhang Lei patted Ding Qiunan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, things will naturally fall into place when the time is right."

There were so many places to play in Beijing, and Liang Ladi's children were overwhelmed with excitement. They ran around all day and their energy hadn't waned. When they got home that evening, the children were so tired that they fell asleep right on the bed without even taking a shower.

Zhang Lei exclaimed with a smile, "These guys are really energetic; they've been running around all day!"

Liang Ladi looked at Zhang Lei and said with a smile, "Thank you, Zhang Lei, for taking care of them for a day."

Zhang Lei said with a smile, "What's the big deal? I just love kids, and being with them makes me much happier."

After a day of playing, Liang Ladi looked at her children in her room and couldn't help but smile. But thinking about her blind date tomorrow, she couldn't help but worry. To outsiders, she seemed very strong, but that was just a facade. After all, if she appeared weak, she and her children wouldn't be able to live. Liang Ladi's behavior perfectly illustrated the saying, "A mother's strength is boundless."

The next morning, Yang Maixiang came with Liang Ladi and they soon arrived at Liu Hongchang's house.

When Liu Hongchang first saw Liang Ladi, he couldn't help but be stunned. Liang Ladi wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was the kind of person whose beauty grew on you. She gave off a reliable feeling, and although she was easygoing, she always made people feel close to her.

Seeing Liu Hongchang standing there in a daze, Liu Yunchang quickly urged, "What are you standing there for? Say something!"

Only then did Liu Hongchang realize what was happening, and he quickly said with a smile, "Please come in, please come in."

Liang Ladi looked at Liu Hongchang and couldn't help but chuckle.

Soon everyone was seated. Wang Cuilan looked at Liang Ladi and asked about her family situation with concern, while Liu Hongchang kept looking Liang Ladi up and down.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Lei said, "Let's go sit in the yard for a bit and let the two of them talk."

Everyone immediately understood and quickly went outside, leaving only Liang Ladi and Liu Hongchang inside.

Looking at Liu Hongchang, Liang Ladi said directly, "Liu Hongchang, what's your impression of me? Tell me, I have a good impression of you."

Looking at Liang Ladi, Liu Hongchang felt that she would be perfect if she weren't a widow. He smiled and nodded, saying, "I have a good impression of you too."

Hearing Liu Hongchang say this, Liang Ladi said, "As for me, I have four children. I can't possibly abandon them. But don't worry, if we get married and have children, I will treat all of them equally."

Liu Hongchang felt that what Liang Ladi said was exactly what he wanted to say, so he nodded and said, "Before you came, I was wondering what kind of person you were that Zhang Lei and Yang Maixiang praised you so much, but after meeting you, I feel that you are even better than they said. Let me briefly tell you about my family situation first."

After Liu Hongchang finished explaining his family situation, Liang Ladi frowned when she heard that Liu Hongchang's older brother, Liu Yunchang, wanted to adopt their child. She said, "I should discuss this with the children. Although you say that, after all, we will be two different families after we get married, and the children may not be able to accept it."

Liu Yunchang, who had been eavesdropping outside, suddenly burst in and said, "Not all of them, just one, even just one will do."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hongchang immediately said, "Brother, what are you doing here? And what were you doing eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Liu Yunchang scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile, "I just wanted to show you guys some concern."

Liang Ladi looked at Liu Yunchang as he entered and said with a smile, "Brother, I know how you feel, but I also have to take care of the children's feelings. After I talk to the children, if they are willing, I have no objection. But if they are not willing, I cannot force them."

Liu Yunchang nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, it's only right to discuss it with the child."

After the two finished their discussion, Zhang Lei and Yang Maixiang learned about their situation. If it weren't for the issue of children, the two would probably have already discussed the bride price, but for now, they still had to go back first.

Wang Cuilan looked at Liang Ladi who was about to leave and said, "Liang Ladi, you can bring the children to my house when you have time. I'll cook some of my specialties, and we can sit down and have a meal together."

Hearing Wang Cuilan's words, Liang Ladi nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie, I understand."

After Zhang Lei, Yang Maixiang, and Liang Ladi left, Wang Cuilan looked at her son and said with a smile, "Who was it that was so unwilling to go on blind dates before? But today, the way someone's eyes are looking at him is like they're practically embedded in someone else's body."

Hearing his mother's teasing, Liu Hongchang felt a little embarrassed and said, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Besides, we don't even know if the other child will agree to it because of my brother."

Wang Cuilan said directly, "If the child doesn't agree, then we won't adopt him for now. I'll live with your family and we'll get used to it. Maybe then the child will agree."

Hearing his mother's words, Liu Yunchang happily replied, "Mom is right. People are all made of flesh and blood. If we treat others well, their children will feel it."
