Chapter 326 Am I interested in you?

"It's no trouble." Zeng Shengqiang touched his head a little embarrassedly. "I was in the hospital before, and your sister-in-law took care of me for a month. I just want to express my gratitude to her. It's just a matter of convenience."

As he spoke, Zeng Shengqiang helped Su Mei move the notebook into the house.

Li Shufen had already prepared the meal. When she was serving the dishes outside, Yang Suhua happened to come back on her bike to pick up Qiuqiu.

Young people learn things faster. After a year, Li Shufen still hadn't learned how to ride a bicycle, but Yang Suhua had become very proficient in just a few months.

Because Yang Suhua learned to ride a bike, she is the one who picks up the children and buys groceries and daily necessities.

The yard was bustling with activity. After setting out the dishes, everyone sat down and started eating.

Just as he was about to start eating, Qin Fang walked in from outside.

He was holding a small bag in his hand. When he saw Su Mei, he said, "Junior Sister, is this yours? I was almost home when I realized you left it in the car."

"It's mine. Go hand it in to me at school tomorrow. Why did you make a special trip?" Su Mei said as she took the small bag, which contained some change and house keys. When she got off the car, she only remembered to move the notebook and really forgot about this matter.

After taking the bag, Su Mei invited Qin Fang to sit down and eat together.

Qin Fang had been in Yanjing for a year, but he had never eaten at Su Mei's house. He happened to run into them here, so he didn't refuse and sat down.

After handing Qin Fang the dishes and chopsticks, Su Mei introduced the people in the yard to him in order to make Qin Fang feel more comfortable:

"This is Brother Qiang, Jianguo's comrade-in-arms, and also a criminal policeman. And this one is my sister-in-law, mom and I can just call her sister-in-law's... We are all acquaintances, so don't be shy, just eat your meal and fill yourself up."

"Do you think I'm reserved? Don't worry about me, just eat your own food." It would be a bit awkward to have a meal with someone you don't know well, but since Qin Fang had sat down, he still tried to look relaxed.

Zeng Shengqiang, who was standing by, listened to Su Mei's introduction, looked at Su Mei a few times, then looked at Li Shufen a few times, as if he had something to say but was hesitant.

Because his expression was so obvious, Su Mei noticed it and asked directly:

"Brother Qiang, what's wrong with you? Just say whatever you want to say. Why did you open your mouth and then close it again?"

"Oh!" Zeng Shengqiang looked at Su Mei uncomfortably and lowered his head. "It's not a big deal, but I think that your sister-in-law has already divorced Brother Jianguo. I think she shouldn't be called your sister-in-law anymore!

That kind of man is not worthy of Shufen living with the title of his wife. Now that the relationship is over, the title can actually be changed!"

"It's okay." Li Shufen took over the conversation and smiled softly, "It's just a name. Su Mei calls me that and she's used to it. Su Hua follows suit."

"I really shouldn't call her sister-in-law!" Su Mei thought about it and felt that what Zeng Shengqiang said made sense. "I really hadn't considered this before. Now that I have severed my relationship with Boss Huo, I shouldn't call her sister-in-law anymore!

Then I will call you Sister Shufen from now on, just like Sister Suhua, right?"

"Oh, it's the same no matter what you call me." Li Shufen's smile was obviously more brilliant than before. It seemed that she didn't want to be called sister-in-law, but she just didn't say it out loud.

Zeng Shengqiang looked like a rough old man, but he was actually very careful in looking at things. Su Mei couldn't help but say, "Brother Qiang has really understood Sister Shufen's psychology."

Zeng Shengqiang's face suddenly turned red at the words he said casually. "I don't know anything about it. I just heard your introduction and thought of it."

"Okay, let's make it this way. I'll tell Jianguo when he comes back. From now on, we'll all call Shufen sister." Su Mei felt that Zeng Shengqiang was right and confirmed it again.

Yang Suhua on the side also said: "Well, from now on I will call you Sister Shufen too!"

After dinner, the sun had already set and night was approaching.

As the night fell, Qin Fang and Zeng Shengqiang did not stay for long. They chatted with each other as they walked out together.

After everyone had left, Su Mei approached Li Shufen and asked her gossipingly:

"Sister Shufen, what do I think of this brother Qiang? He blushes when he sees you, and he comes to our house every day. Could he be interested in you?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Shufen's head shook like a rattle when she heard Su Mei's words. "He just wants to thank me for taking care of him for a while. He's a policeman, educated and employed. What can't he find? What's the point of it for me!"

"Who knows!" Su Mei felt that Zeng Shengqiang's actions and behaviors were very suspicious.

However, Su Mei also felt it was a bit far-fetched to link Zeng Shengqiang and Li Shufen together. After all, Li Shufen was right. Zeng Shengqiang's appearance, job, and level were all very different from those of Li Shufen.

Although Li Shufen is tenacious and very opinionated, and Su Mei admires her very much, this does not change the fact that Li Shufen is an older, divorced rural woman with a child.

Su Mei also felt it was a bit unrealistic to say that Zeng Shengqiang liked her.

Maybe it was just out of gratitude, or maybe he took better care of Li Shufen, an orphan and a widow, for Huo Jianguo's sake.

So after Li Shufen denied the incident, Su Mei immediately put her gossipy heart to rest. Since the person involved said it didn't happen, Su Mei naturally had no reason to think too much about it.

Su Mei didn't sleep well last night, and she was so sleepy the whole day.

In order to be in a better mental state tomorrow, Su Mei lit a piece of soothing incense she made herself before going to bed today.

Under the hypnosis of the calming incense, Su Mei fell asleep early.

She did sleep better that night.

She got up very early in the morning and Li Shufen had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, Su Mei went to school to take the exam, and Qiuqiu was also taken to school by Yang Suhua.

It took Su Mei three days of consecutive exams to complete the final exam of this semester.

When she came out of the examination room after the last afternoon exam, Chu Tian was squatting outside the teaching building waiting for her.

Chu Tian came to find Su Mei because he wanted to tell her that he wanted to postpone going to the laboratory with Su Mei for a few days.

Because Chu Tian still needs time to find a house, she used to work as an assistant to a tutor at school, so she has been living in the dormitory provided by the school.

But since she decided to return to Shanghai, Chu Tian has already returned her dormitory to the school. If she wants to stay in Yanjing, she must first find a place for herself to stay.

"It's just a place to live. I'll rent it to you. You can pick up your luggage and move directly to my house." Su Mei thought. It just so happened that she was going to help Yang Suhua and Li Shufen move.

Then the yard where Li Shufen lives now will be idle, and it can be rented to Chu Tian. It is not cost-effective to leave the house empty, so if Su Mei can rent it out, she will definitely rent it out anyway.

Hearing Su Mei offering to rent the house to herself, Chu Tian nodded immediately:

"That's great. I'll go move the luggage now."
