Chapter 147 Achieving Good Deeds

The Zou family

Aunt Hao was pulled straight back home from the front gate by Zou Qingshu. She wanted to say that she couldn't go in yet, but seeing her son's serious face and cold expression, she didn't dare to speak.

Only after entering the house did Aunt Hao let go of his hand, looking at her son with confusion. "Qingshu, why did you pull me in here? What do you have to say at home? I still have to wait for that girl outside! Although the matchmaker came yesterday, what if she doesn't remember the way? Wouldn't the girl feel resentful and think that our family is mistreating her?"

Zou Qingshu sneered, "Mom, they have a good place to go, we don't need to worry about it!"

Aunt Hao frowned. "No, what do you mean, child? Isn't she here for a blind date? Where would she go?"

"I left for a while, and when I came back, I heard from Aunt Cao that the old lady next door, Zhu, was affectionately pulling a girl inside the door. It looked like she was setting up a blind date for her son, Zhu Ziqiang."

Aunt Hao was stunned for a moment before she realized the connection between the two things. Her face changed instantly, and she slapped her thigh hard, cursing furiously, "That damned old woman Zhu, that despicable wretch! She actually dared to steal your boyfriend! That wretched old thing, I never realized that this old hag was so wicked! That damned old woman, does she want you to be a bachelor for the rest of your life? How can she be so vicious!"

Zou Qingshu: "..."

Although Old Lady Zhu certainly didn't have good intentions, how did it escalate to the point of him being a bachelor for life?

Aunt Hao grew angrier the more she thought about it, her chest heaving with rage. "No way! I'm going to settle accounts with that old woman! That bastard dared to steal your boyfriend! Once or twice! These heartless bastards, if I don't show my power, they'll think I'm made of clay! First Qin Ziwen, then Zhu Ziqiang, these scoundrels let my son bully me. If I don't stand up for myself, will everyone in this neighborhood think my family is easy to bully and come and kick me while I'm down?"

As she spoke, Aunt Hao rolled up her sleeves, ready to go and settle accounts with Old Lady Zhu.

Zou Qingshu quickly grabbed his mother tightly, "Mom, Mom, don't get excited, don't get excited. That's not my boyfriend, just a blind date I haven't met yet."

"And it's actually a good thing that the Zhu family intercepted this person, it's a good thing! A good thing!"

Aunt Hao was already upset, and he was still talking about all sorts of good and bad things.

This time, they've really walked right into the line of fire.

Aunt Hao pointed at the person and launched into a tirade, "Are you out of your mind? They stole your boyfriend and are making you a bachelor, and you still say it's a good thing? I bet you've gone crazy from working so hard every day! How did I give birth to such an idiot like you!"

Zou Qingshu: "..."

His lips twitched, looking utterly helpless. "Mom, this is really good news. Would I lie to you?"

Then, under Aunt Hao's angry gaze, which was mixed with "Are you crazy?", he told his own mother everything that Yu Junsheng had told him.

After hearing this, Aunt Hao was dumbfounded, and her anger subsided considerably.

"This...this can't be right, can it? Could it be a mistake? Could it just be that the two people look alike?" Aunt Hao asked, unwilling to give up, suggesting a possibility.

Zou Qingshu ruthlessly extinguished her hopes, "Mom, don't you know Junsheng? If he wasn't sure, would he have told me? You know what kind of person he is. It can't be that he deliberately harmed me, can it?"

Aunt Hao: "..."

Aunt Hao gave up.

Aunt Hao sighed again, "I know Junsheng, he's not that kind of person, and Xiaocheng isn't that heartless either. Since they both said that, they must be absolutely certain that it's the same person."

Aunt Hao was very depressed. She couldn't accept that the blind date she had finally found for her son turned out to be the old lover of the young, handsome man who had married into the family in the neighborhood.

What a coincidence!

Zou Qingshu thought his mother was still reluctant to part with the woman, so he continued to persuade her, "Mom, what's so regrettable about someone like that being snatched away? I wish I could set off a string of firecrackers to get rid of the bad luck, and who knows what kind of scheme this person might have against our family."

Zou Qingshu had only said it casually, but the more he thought about it, the more he realized it made sense. Qi Baifan had only been in their compound for a short time, and so quickly his former lover had been introduced to him by chance.

Sometimes, too many coincidences cease to be coincidences.

...

Meanwhile, Cheng Jiajia was also talking about this with Yu Junsheng.

After Zou Qingshu left, the young couple started being affectionate again.

To make it easier for the two to get closer, Yu Junsheng closed the door after seeing Zou Qingshu off.

Cheng Jiajia nestled in Yu Junsheng's arms, thoroughly enjoying this quiet and warm moment.

Cheng Jiajia poked the man's chest repeatedly, her eyes darting around. "Tell me, what a coincidence that Qi Baifan's old flame was introduced to our courtyard?" And judging from Zou Qingshu's words, it was an unfamiliar matchmaker who took the initiative to come and talk to him.

Considering the methods Qi Baifan used to deceive Bai Xiaohui before, why was she so skeptical?

Moreover, upon careful recollection of Aunt Hao's reaction when she inquired about Sun Ling with Qi Baifan that day, besides feeling guilty, he also vaguely mentioned Sun Ling's family situation.

So the question is, why did he help Sun Ling hide her true family situation?

Could it be that he's plotting something again?

Yu Junsheng, however, didn't care. "Whatever her schemes are, we've already told Qingshu about the situation. Knowing his personality, he definitely won't have anything to do with this Sun Ling. So even if she tries everything, it will all be for nothing."

Just then, someone outside called out to Cheng Jiajia.

The two immediately separated. Cheng Jiajia reluctantly slipped out of Yu Junsheng's arms to open the door, asking in a bad mood, "Who is it?" Doesn't she know it's rude to disturb someone's good time?

As soon as the door opened, Aunt Cao nimbly squeezed in.

Cheng Jiajia was speechless. This old lady really didn't stand on ceremony. Luckily, Yu Junsheng was also fully dressed, otherwise it would have been too much of a loss if she had seen him naked.

Aunt Cao had no idea what Cheng Jiajia was thinking about her; she was preoccupied with her own thoughts.

Aunt Cao leaned closer to Cheng Jiajia mysteriously and whispered, "Little Cheng, guess what I just saw at the gate?"

Cheng Jiajia's eyes immediately lit up. Was there some juicy gossip going on?

"What? Auntie, just tell me directly, don't keep me in suspense!" After saying that, she very considerately handed Aunt Cao a handful of sunflower seeds.

Aunt Cao was satisfied. She picked up a melon seed and cracked it open. "Let me tell you, just now at the gate, I saw Old Lady Zhu from the front yard very affectionately leading a pretty young girl into their house. I guess she's going to find a new wife for Zhu Ziqiang."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jiajia curled her lip, thinking that this was a rotten goose.

"Not to mention that Zhu Ziqiang has been married three times, the news of his marriage fraud a few days ago must have spread all over our neighborhood, right? Are there still young girls willing to marry him?"

Aunt Cao also utterly despised Zhu Ziqiang, her tone full of contempt. "Hmph, I heard her call Zhu 'old woman' and 'Aunt Zou' with such a heavy accent. She's probably not from around here and doesn't know anything about Zhu Ziqiang. I wonder where this family got this girl from out of town!"

Cheng Jiajia: "!!!"

Yu Junsheng, who was eavesdropping with both ears perked up, exclaimed: "!!!"

It's probably not an out-of-town girl, but a local girl who was snatched away by the Zhu family!

Cheng Jiajia was stunned by the news brought by Aunt Cao.

I thought the play would end with Zou Qingshu's heartless rejection, but unexpectedly, Old Lady Zhu took the opportunity to intercept him and bring him to her home!

It's obvious what this family is up to.

The couple exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts.

That beard cut was brilliant, a perfect cut!

Cheng Jiajia immediately tugged at Yu Junsheng's sleeve excitedly, saying anxiously, "Let's go, let's go to the Zou family and see what's going on!"

She already had a feeling that something good was about to happen!

"Hehe, honey, let's go!"

Without saying a word, the two of them took off running.

Aunt Cao, who was eating sunflower seeds, was speechless.

What happened?

Aunt Cao didn't understand why she was going to the Zou family's house to see the excitement, but since there was excitement, she couldn't miss it. She stuffed the melon seeds into her pocket and ran after the two young men in front of her.

"Hey, you two kids, wait for me, wait for me!"

...

When Cheng Jiajia and the other two arrived, they saw that the main door of the Zhu family's main room was tightly closed. Old Mrs. Zhu was sticking her butt out and peeking through the crack in the door, doing something furtive. From time to time, a lewd and contemptuous smile appeared on her face.

Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng: "..." Damn it, how come I never noticed before that this old woman is quite scary!

Aunt Cao clicked her tongue, looking down on the man's behavior. "Tsk tsk, this old woman is really inconsiderate. Her son is meeting a girl for the first time on a blind date, and she's already shutting the door. Doesn't she care about ruining the girl's reputation?"

Cheng Jiajia thought to herself, it's not just a bad reputation.

Glancing at the tightly closed door, Cheng Jiajia whispered to Yu Junsheng, "What do you think they're doing in there?"

Yu Junsheng snorted, "He definitely wasn't holding back a good fart!"

He had some suspicions in his mind, but with Aunt Cao there, he couldn't say much.

Cheng Jiajia noticed it too, and coincidentally, she had also had some suspicions about it.

Cheng Jiajia smiled and deliberately spoke up suddenly, asking Old Lady Zhu, "Aunt Zhu, what are you doing?"

Grandma Zhu was listening intently to the sounds coming from inside the house when she was startled by the sudden noise.

Fearing that her son's affair would be discovered, her face showed a moment of panic.

Turning around and seeing that it was Cheng Jiajia and the others, he gradually calmed down.

Cheng Jiajia asked with a smile, "Aunt Zhu, what are you doing? It's so cold outside, why don't you go inside?"

Grandma Zhu's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly forced a smile. "Hehe, I'm wearing too many clothes and I'm a little hot, so I came out to get some fresh air."

Cheng Jiajia glanced at her not-so-thick cotton-padded coat with a half-smile, but nodded understandingly. "Oh, I see. Well, you can stay here and cool off for a bit. We'll go talk to Aunt Hao."

Grandma Zhu's eyes flickered when she heard Aunt Hao's name, but she forced a smile and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "Aunt Hao is at home, you should go quickly!"

Stop rambling on and on, or you might interrupt your son's good time!

Only after watching the group enter the Zou family's house did Grandma Zhu feel at ease.

She continued to peer through the crack in the door, listening for any sounds, until she heard intermittent, suggestive sounds coming from inside. Only then did she feel relieved.

A smug smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

It's done!

It was worth the effort she put into getting the medicine from the vet last night.

Hmph, even if this little wench finds out the truth, she'll have no choice but to marry her own son!

Listening to the woman's voices, sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes painful, sometimes joyful, Old Lady Zhu spat out a curse in her heart, thinking, "That horny little whore! She's like she hasn't seen a man in eight hundred years, moaning so wantonly!" Although she had facilitated this, she looked down on the woman who had let the man have his way so quickly.

Pui pui pui, they're all little sluts who're desperate for men!

Just after she finished scolding, Old Lady Zhu's expression suddenly changed, and she tightly clutched her stomach.

Damn it, could it be that he sneaked into the Zou family's kitchen this morning, poisoned the food, and didn't wash his hands?

That's right. Aunt Hao's sudden diarrhea wasn't due to food poisoning at all. It was because Grandma Zhu sneaked into the Zou family's kitchen while Aunt Hao was cooking and added some croton powder to the porridge pot.

Old Master Zhu originally planned to let Zou Qingshu and the Zou family elders get so caught up in their own affairs that they wouldn't have time to think about their blind date, so he could then take the opportunity to snatch her away.

Unexpectedly, Zou Qingshu got lucky and didn't drink the porridge; only Aunt Hao had diarrhea.

Fortunately, that brat Yu Junsheng later called someone inside, which gave her an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

As the pain in her stomach intensified, Grandma Zhu had a bad feeling.

Ignoring the two people still doing business inside, they hurriedly ran to the public restroom.

...

Inside the house, the clouds had dispersed and the rain had stopped.

Brother Zou glanced at the 'blood' on the bed and nodded in satisfaction. He then looked tenderly at the shy woman in his arms and said with shame, "Lingling, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive. I just like you too much. You know? From the first moment I saw you, my heart was completely devoted to you, and I couldn't see anyone else. Can you forgive me? Don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility for you. Tomorrow, I'll have my mother send a matchmaker to your house to propose marriage, and I'll make you the lady of my house."

Sun Ling endured her physical discomfort, pretending to be shy and timid after her first time, her eyes red and aggrieved, she said, "'Brother Zou,' I know, I know your feelings for me, I don't blame you, really, I know you just couldn't control yourself. It's just that this whole thing between us... what if your family doesn't approve?" Sun Ling also knew that probably no mother-in-law would like a daughter-in-law who slept with her son on their first blind date.

She found it strange, though. She had only intended to let this sucker take advantage of her, so how did things turn out this way?

Brother Zou smiled knowingly and affectionately pinched Sun Ling's nose. "Don't worry, I won't tell my mom about this. It's our secret."

Sun Ling was finally satisfied.

Out of the corner of her eye, Sun Ling caught a glimpse of red on the bed sheet, and her heart skipped a beat.

She knows her own situation; this isn't her first time. So where did the blood come from?

She felt a little panicked. Would something happen to the child she was carrying with Bai Fan?

But now was clearly not the time to think about that, so Sun Ling could only suppress her worries.

The two cuddled together for a while longer before reluctantly getting up and tidying their clothes.

Brother Zou held Sun Ling's hand and walked towards the door, as he assured her, "Lingling, leave everything to me. You go home and wait for me obediently until I come to propose. Soon we'll be able to live together."

Sun Ling lowered her head shyly, knowing she would soon see her Bai Fan brother.

Brother Zou's mind wavered, but he still remembered his next task, so he could only try to suppress the thoughts in his heart.

Although their thoughts were completely different, they were both quite satisfied with today's progress and were both looking forward to getting married soon.

However, the door had just been opened.

Suddenly, a scream, as if someone had been caught cheating, rang out from outside: "What...what are you doing?!"
