My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 320: Chen Xueru and Yu Li are Pregnant

Zhang Lei and Ding Qiunan quickly returned to courtyard house number 90. As soon as they entered, they saw Lou Xiao'e running towards them eagerly.

Zhang Lei quickly reached out to stop her: "My darling wife, my little darling, slow down, you're carrying our child."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and hugged him tightly, saying sweetly, "My dear husband, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

Zhang Lei smiled and patted her on the back. Ye Shuqin, Ye Shuqi, Ye Shuhua, Chen Xueru, Yu Li and others also gathered around, their eyes full of concern.

Seeing everyone's worried expressions, Zhang Lei smiled and reassured them, "Don't worry, everyone. Everything went smoothly when we went back with Qiu Nan. There were no unexpected incidents."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.

At this moment, Chen Xueru grabbed Ding Qiunan's hand and asked with a smile, "Qiunan, you must be tired from the journey. Tell me quickly, how did Zhang Lei behave when you went back to your hometown?"

After saying that, he left Zhang Lei aside and pulled Ding Qiunan into the house.

Zhang Lei looked at his wives, who had just been full of worry for him, and realized they had completely forgotten about him. Helpless, he picked up the package and went inside.

Seeing them chatting and laughing, Zhang Lei didn't bother to argue. He poured himself a cup of tea, added tea leaves, lay back in his armchair, and hummed a little tune to rest.

At this moment, Yu Li quietly walked up to him and whispered, "Honey, how about I give you a shoulder massage to relax?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei smiled and agreed, "Okay, and tell me what's been happening at home lately."

While massaging him, Yu Li said, "Honey, do you want to hear about the election for the eldest son in courtyard number 95?"

These words immediately piqued Zhang Lei's interest: "Hmm, tell me as you press, I'll listen."

The two chatted casually. Zhang Lei was not surprised to hear that the position of "Grandpa" had fallen to He Daqing, but he thought the election process was really bizarre.

He laughed and said, "I didn't expect Sha Zhu to be smart this time."

Yu Li laughed, "Honey, you don't know, the election for the eldest grandpa in courtyard number 95 was quite a scene. People who didn't know it was an election, but they thought it was some country holding an election."

Zhang Lei joked, "Then why didn't you go and join in the fun?"

Yu Li shook her head: "Why should I get involved? I'm not from courtyard number 95."

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Why not? Our family owns several houses in courtyard number 95."

Yu Li was stunned: "What? We have so many houses in courtyard number 95?"

Zhang Lei asked, somewhat puzzled, "You didn't know?"

Yu Li waved her hand helplessly: "Nobody told me that."

Zhang Lei then realized that he hadn't mentioned it to Yu Li, since there were already enough rooms in courtyard number 90. He then briefly explained the situation of courtyard number 95 to Yu Li, who was even more impressed with Zhang Lei after listening.

Seeing that she seemed lost in thought, Zhang Lei asked, "Are you tired? If you are, take a rest."

Yu Li quickly shook her head and continued massaging with more force.

Zhang Lei then asked with concern, "Yu Li, how are things at home? Do you need more money? If so, just let me know."

Yu Li shook her head: "Honey, no need, the money you gave me is enough. Shuqin has also helped me a lot during this time."

Zhang Lei nodded: "That's good. Tell me as soon as possible if anything happens, don't keep it to yourself."

Yu Li replied softly, "Don't worry, my dear husband. Now that I'm married to you, I'm yours, and I won't just look after my own family."

Zhang Lei secretly rejoiced that Yu Li, whom he married, was not a "brother-supporting demon".

Just then, Yu Li coughed twice.

Zhang Lei initially didn't pay attention: "What's wrong?"

After waiting for a while, Yu Li didn't say anything. He got up and saw Yu Li leaning against the corner of the wall, dry heaving.

Zhang Lei's heart skipped a beat, and an idea popped into his head. He quickly shouted, "Qiu Nan, Qiu Nan, come here quickly!"

Ding Qiunan came out of the house upon hearing the noise: "What's wrong, husband?"

Zhang Lei pointed at Yu Li: "Quickly check on Yu Li, what's wrong with her? Is she...?"

Seeing this, Chen Xueru deliberately acted coquettishly: "Honey, you only care about Yu Li, why don't you care about me?"

Zhang Lei's heart stirred again, and he looked at Chen Xueru.

Ye Shuqin took his arm and said with a smile, "Congratulations, sir."

Upon hearing the words "Congratulations," Zhang Lei instantly became excited: "Could it be that those two are...?"

Ye Shuqin nodded with a smile: "Honey, our family is going to have another member."

Chen Xueru and Yu Li, who had recovered, both smiled at him.

Zhang Lei excitedly stepped forward and gave each of them a hug: "This is wonderful! I, Zhang Lei, am going to have two more children. Thank you!"

After saying that, he kissed each of them on the cheek.

Chen Xueru dodged away in disgust: "Honey, what are you doing? You've got my face covered in drool."

Zhang Lei was both amused and exasperated, and shook his head, feeling that he had been rejected.

Ding Qiunan stepped forward: "Xueru, Yuli, come here, I'd like to tell you about some things to pay attention to during pregnancy."

The group chatted and laughed as they went back into the house, leaving Zhang Lei alone in the courtyard.

Zhang Lei looked helplessly into the yard. Only the mute aunt was there, holding a kettle and looking at him. He thought to himself, "Oh well, the mute aunt can't speak anyway. I'll just lie back down on the chair."

As the days went by, Zhang Lei settled into a life of leisure. He spent his days either fishing, shopping with his wife, or lounging at home. He didn't care about the factory's purchasing tasks at all; the supplies in his storage space were enough to last him a year and a half, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.

That day, Zhang Lei helped Ye Shuqi to the big locust tree by the door to find their new chess opponent, Old Yang. Ye Shuqi, standing to the side, felt utterly helpless. She couldn't understand why Zhang Lei was so obsessed with chess, and not only that, he insisted on dragging her along to be his assistant and help him cheat.

Zhang Lei marked his pieces with symbols representing chariots, horses, cannons, ministers, generals, and pawns. Whenever he was unsure of a move, he would cough to signal Ye Shuqi, who would then subtly indicate the correct move with gestures. Using this method, Zhang Lei won every game.

But this time, Old Yang's chess skills were exceptional; Zhang Lei had suffered many losses against him before. In order to defeat Old Yang, Zhang Lei specially invited Ye Shuqi, a chess master from his family, to come over.

Seeing Zhang Lei's entourage, Old Yang chuckled and joked, "Zhang Lei, did you bring your wife here to back you up?"

Zhang Lei snorted defiantly, "Old Yang, don't be so smug. My wife is just here to relax and cheer me on. I'll play against you again today. I've already figured out a winning strategy. You're going to lose this time!"

Old Yang waved his hand with a smile: "Alright, alright, come on, I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."
