My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 377: Liu Hongchang Has No Feelings for Yang Maixiang

Liu Hongchang rode his bicycle in the direction He Wenhui had left for a while, but he couldn't find her anywhere, and he felt a pang of disappointment.

Meanwhile, at the Liu family's home, Wang Cuilan, Liu Yunchang, and Wu Xiaoying were still discussing what would happen between Liu Hongchang and Yang Maixiang.

Wu Xiaoying looked at Wang Cuilan and said, "Mom, I think Hongchang and Yang Maixiang are definitely getting together. Otherwise, why would a young, unmarried woman come to our house to do chores and fetch things?"

Liu Yunchang chimed in, "Mom, Wu Xiaoying is right. You don't have to worry about Hongchang's marriage anymore."

Wang Cuilan smiled happily and said, "I think Yang Maixiang is a very honest girl, and she's a good match for our Hongchang. But, after all, our Hongchang is a great chef, so let's observe her a little longer."

The three were having a pleasant conversation when they suddenly saw Liu Hongchang returning alone, pushing his bicycle. All three were quite surprised.

Wang Cuilan asked directly, "Hongchang, where is Yang Maixiang?"

Upon hearing his mother's question, Liu Hongchang replied directly, "Oh? Her? She's gone."

Upon hearing that Yang Maixiang had left, Wang Cuilan immediately said angrily, "What? Left? How could you let her leave? What were you two talking about? Did you finish talking so quickly?"

Liu Hongchang said frankly, "We chatted, but not much, just talked."

Upon hearing Liu Hongchang's words, Liu Yunchang, who was standing to the side, immediately became displeased and said, "Hongchang, she's a young woman who came to our house to do chores and wait for you. How can you just send her straight home?"

Hearing Liu Yunchang's words, Liu Hongchang said directly, "I didn't take her home; she walked home by herself."

Hearing this, all three were stunned. Wu Xiaoying, standing to the side, asked incredulously, "Hongchang, you let her leave alone?"

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "Yes, how else can she go if she doesn't go alone?"

Hearing Liu Hongchang's words, Wang Cuilan, who was standing to the side, could no longer hold back and said, "Are you trying to make me angry? Maixiang is such a good girl. She worked in our house and even brought me gifts when she came. And you just let her go back on her own? How could I have given birth to such a good-for-nothing like you?"

Hearing his mother say this, Liu Hongchang quickly said, "Mom, what are you doing? She wanted to go back herself, what could I do?"

Hearing Liu Hongchang's words, Wang Cuilan was immediately furious and said, "She went back by herself? She waited for you for so long, and she went back by herself? You must have made her angry, otherwise why would she go back by herself? I was even thinking of having her stay for dinner."

Liu Yunchang, standing to the side, chided, "Hongchang, what can I say about you? Yang Maixiang is such a wonderful girl, and you don't even cherish her. What are you thinking?"

Liu Hongchang asked doubtfully, "Brother, what are you talking about? She and I are just ordinary friends. What's this talk of 'having a chance'?"

Hearing this, everyone was puzzled. Wu Xiaoying quickly asked, "Hongchang, tell us, you don't like Yang Maixiang?"

Liu Hongchang looked at Wu Xiaoying and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Maixiang and I are just ordinary friends."

Wu Xiaoying muttered to herself, "Just ordinary friends? Impossible, right?"

Liu Hongchang said, "What's impossible about that? We're just ordinary good friends."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunchang angrily said, "You! No wonder people say you're a blockhead. Can't you see that Yang Maixiang likes you?"

Hearing his elder brother's words, Liu Hongchang knew very well that Yang Maixiang liked him, but he just couldn't feel any feelings for her. He said, "Brother, don't play matchmaker. I really have no feelings for Yang Maixiang, really no feelings at all."

Hearing Liu Hongchang's words, Wang Cuilan, who was standing to the side, immediately said angrily, "What? You have no interest in her? Why did she come to you? Besides, I think Yang Maixiang is a very good girl and is suitable to be our daughter-in-law. I don't care, you call Yang Maixiang over here."

Hearing his mother's words, Liu Hongchang twisted his head and said, "Mom, what are you doing? Yang Maixiang, if you like her, go and call her. I'm not going."

Hearing Liu Hongchang's words, Wang Cuilan was furious. Clutching her chest, she exclaimed, "You're going to drive me crazy!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Yunchang quickly stepped forward to support his mother, saying, "Hongchang, look at you, you've made Mom so angry."

But Liu Hongchang stubbornly refused to listen, turned around and went inside, locking himself in without offering any explanation.

Wu Xiaoying advised from the side, "Mom, Hongchang is just stubborn like this. Don't take it to heart. Why don't Yunchang and I go and talk to him together? Maybe he'll change his mind."

Wang Cuilan shook her head and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, forget it. It's just that our family isn't lucky enough to have such a good girl delivered to our door, but that brat Hongchang doesn't want her. I really don't know what kind of bad karma he has created."

Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying both shook their heads when they heard this.

On the other side, there's courtyard house number 95.

Ever since returning from the hospital, Sha Zhu had been feeling restless and anxious after hearing Qin Huairu's words. He didn't know what to do; on one side was his father, He Daqing, and on the other was Qin Huairu. He could only vent all his energy on cooking, the cleaver clanging loudly against the cutting board—anyone who didn't know better would think he was chopping bones.

But Qin Huairu's words kept echoing in his ears. Sha Zhu knew his physical condition, but Qin Huairu's words, "Don't be like Yi Zhonghai, scheming every day for retirement," made him think about his unborn child.

He Yuzhu kept these words in mind. Yes, if he had no descendants, no son, who would take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days? Thinking of this, He Yuzhu made up his mind that no one could stop him from taking care of himself in his old age, and no one could stop him from having descendants.

Actually, at the hospital, Sha Zhu listened to Qin Huairu talk a lot, which reminded him of how hard he had raised He Yushui, and how He Daqing had left for so many years for the sake of the White Widow. Gradually, Sha Zhu grew to hate He Daqing more and more.

Soon, Sha Zhu finished preparing the meal for Qin Huairu, and then, carrying the food, went to the hospital.

Meanwhile, He Daqing was unaware of the affair between Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu. Looking at the empty room, He Daqing remembered that Qin Huairu was still in the hospital. Thinking that she probably hadn't eaten yet, he got up and made some food. After eating at home, he took the lunchbox and rushed to the hospital.

At the hospital, Qin Huairu ate the dishes cooked by Sha Zhu and kept praising him. Sha Zhu was so flattered by Qin Huairu that he was completely disoriented.

After finishing her meal, Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu and continued her brainwashing, saying that she was sorry for the child and for Sha Zhu, and that it would have been so much better if the child hadn't been miscarried.

Sha Zhu felt incredibly sad looking at Qin Huairu.
