Seeing that Jiang Li had taken it to heart, Li Chu continued, "The old man who greeted us when we came in is a teacher at the primary school. It will be much more convenient for you and your child to stay here."
Ding Qiunan pulled Jiang Li to sit on the sofa: "Xiao Li, we are friends, it's normal for us to help each other. I hope you won't refuse a friend's kindness."
Having said that, Jiang Li didn't know how to refuse anymore, and she was extremely satisfied with the offer.
Seeing that she was interested, Ding Qiunan didn't try to persuade her anymore, but instead took her on a tour of the house.
Jiang Li then realized that there was actually a second floor inside the house.
After a quick look around, we returned to the living room.
"Qiu Nan, Li Chu, thank you both."
"You're welcome. Qiu Nan said we're friends, so helping each other is normal," Li Chu said casually, waving his hand.
"Hey, Brother Chu, is that you back?" Xu Damao's voice came from outside the door as soon as Li Chu finished speaking.
The door was open, and Xu Damao helped Lou Xiao'e in.
"My sister-in-law is here too!"
"Xiao'e, come sit here. Let me introduce you. This is my friend, Jiang Li, who works at the knitting factory. This is Lou Xiao'e, who lives in the backyard. The person who came in with her is her husband, Xu Damao, who works as a projectionist at the steel mill."
The three women were sitting on the sofa. Ding Qiunan introduced them to each other, and then they started chatting away.
Xu Damao walked up to Li Chu and asked, "Brother Chu, what made you decide to come back today?"
"When did you get back? I didn't see you when I came over this morning," Li Chu asked instead of answering his question.
“I just got back last night. I was sleeping at home when you came over this morning. I just picked up my wife from her house.”
"Congratulations, kid! The second one will be here soon." Li Chu laughed and punched him on the shoulder.
"Hehe," Xu Damao chuckled like a simpleton when his wife was pregnant.
"Da Mao, I think I'll lend this room to her from now on." As he spoke, Li Chu raised his chin and gestured towards Jiang Li.
"Brother Chu, who is that...?"
“Your sister-in-law’s friend, Jiang Li, is raising a child alone. The place she’s living in is too bad, so she’s asked to stay with us temporarily.”
To the outside world, they always say that Jiang Li is Ding Qiunan's friend, just to avoid misunderstandings.
"Brother Chu, you guys are too late. The fighting started again at the Central Court."
"What happened?"
"What else could it be? Qin Huairu's mother-in-law scolded Sha Zhu again."
That old woman is now eating Sha Zhu's food while smashing his pots. She deserves it; who told him to mess with that widow?
Mentioning this, Li Chu unconsciously turned his head to look at Jiang Li, comparing her to Qin Huairu in his mind.
It has to be said that Jiang Li, who has lived in the south for more than ten years, has better skin than people from the north. Moreover, because of her weak constitution, she appears delicate and frail, which can arouse the protective instincts of some men who like this type.
Will He Yuzhu be tempted to change his mind after seeing Jiang Li?
Li Chu was pondering this in his mind.
How to describe He Yuzhu? Although he has a foul mouth, he's actually a pretty good person.
"Brother Chu, what are you thinking about here?"
"Da Mao, what do you think about introducing Jiang Li to He Yuzhu?"
Li Chu suddenly developed a mischievous streak.
? ? ?
Xu Damao looked at Li Chu with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.
"Isn't it a family tradition for He Yuzhu to like widows? Jiang Li is raising a child alone now, which should suit him just fine. Besides, no one here will be cursing him in front of his house every day."
"Pfft!" Xu Damao couldn't help but burst out laughing. Just listen to how sarcastic his words were.
His laughter startled the three women on the sofa, who all turned to look at him.
Xu Damao quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys keep chatting."
After saying that, she grabbed Li Chu's arm and walked to the door: "Brother Chu, you're kidding, right?"
"Who's joking? I'm serious. But I won't introduce him to anyone. Anyway, we'll be living in the same hospital from now on, and we'll see each other all the time. Let's see if He Yuzhu will change his mind."
Xu Damao rolled his eyes and thought for a moment: "You know what, it's actually quite possible. Your sister-in-law's friend doesn't look any worse than Qin Huairu."

Li Chu glanced at Xu Damao out of the corner of his eye: "Damao, don't get any bad ideas."
Xu Damao jumped three feet high like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Brother Chu, am I that kind of person?"
Li Chu didn't even bother to say anything to him, giving him a look that told him to figure it out himself.
"Haha," Xu Damao finally realized that he had asked Li Chu to help him recover. He laughed awkwardly and scratched his hair.
"Brother Chu, that was before. I haven't done anything reckless since I got married," Xu Damao said softly, glancing around the room.
“Don’t talk to me about that. Just remember that Lou Xiao’e gave birth to a son for you, and she’s still pregnant with him.”
"This one has their family name," Xu Damao muttered to himself.
"Nonsense, no matter whose surname they take, they're still your child and will have to call you 'Dad'."
Xu Damao didn't say anything, but it was clear that he had taken Li Chu's words to heart.
"Brother Chu, thank you, I understand."
"Why thank me? Just live your life well."
"Brother Chu, do you think I should give Aunt Jia's side a little more encouragement?"
"Come on, stop worrying about them."
Xu Damao chuckled sinisterly, his eyes darting around, clearly plotting something.
Li Chu didn't care. Let him do whatever he wants.
The three women inside had probably finished their conversation when Ding Qiunan called out loudly, "Li Chu, what are you two doing standing at the door? Let's go."
"If it's settled, then let's move. When are you planning to move in?"
"We'll move it after get off work tomorrow afternoon. Xiaoli doesn't have much stuff; one cart is enough to carry it all. See if you can borrow the cafeteria's tricycle tomorrow."
"No need, no need, I can carry it myself slowly. There's not much stuff. I can just make a couple more trips," Jiang Li hurriedly waved her hand in refusal.
They've already lent me their house, so how can I ask them to help me move in?
Before Ding Qiunan could say anything, Xu Damao spoke up first: "Why go through all that trouble, Brother Chu? Just tell Shazhu to bring the tricycle when he gets off work tomorrow."
Li Chu understood what Xu Damao meant, and he readily agreed: "Is Zhuzi home?"
"He should be there. Anyway, he was still there when I went out to pick up Xiao'e just now."
"You three sit for a while longer, I'll go over and see if it's alright."
