My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 95: Drinking and Bragging

Zhang Lei felt much more relaxed watching them brag together.

Fueled by alcohol, Zhang Lei looked at the group and said, "Gentlemen, Jia Dongxu's legs are broken. What do you think will happen to the Jia family from now on?"

Liu Guangtian curled his lip and said, "What else can we do? Jia Dongxu is a cripple."

Yan Jiecheng chimed in, "Exactly! I almost burst out laughing when I saw him today."

Xu Damao was beaming: "I was in the hospital today, and I was laughing so hard I was covering my mouth. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, I could have danced a bit."

He Yuzhu frowned and sighed, "Jia Dongxu's leg is broken, how pitiful Sister Qin must be."

Hearing this, Zhang Lei pretended to be drunk and said with a grin, "Look, look, none of you three understand as well as that silly Zhu."

At this point, Xu Damao retorted, "He doesn't understand anything. He's just lusting after Qin Huairu's beauty."

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "He's the only one who's greedy? Didn't any of you sneak a peek?"

The group immediately burst into laughter.

At this moment, Zhang Lei changed the subject and said, "Shazhu, your chance has come now. Of course, it's not just you; the chance has come for all three of you as well." He pointed at Xu Damao and the others.

When they heard Zhang Lei's words, they were all confused and asked, "What opportunity?"

Zhang Lei said with a smile, "It's about seizing the opportunity to win over Qin Huairu."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, the group immediately became interested.

Sha Zhu said somewhat reservedly, "I'm just listening; I don't have any feelings for Sister Qin."

Xu Damao and the others gave He Yuzhu a contemptuous gesture.

Liu Guangtian then said directly, "Alright, let Zhang Lei finish speaking."

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Now that the Jia family is in dire straits, Jia Dongxu is useless, Banggeng is still young, and Jia Zhangshi is lazy and good-for-nothing. Do you think Qin Huairu will have a good life in the future?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhang Lei continued, "Since Qin Huairu is having a hard time, do you think she'll still be able to wholeheartedly support the Jia family? After all, no matter how capable a woman is, she can't support a whole family."

Upon hearing Zhang Lei's words, Xu Damao suddenly slapped his thigh and nodded, saying, "That's right, Zhang Lei's analysis is correct. From now on, we can openly see Qin Huairu. That good-for-nothing Jia Dongxu can't do anything!"

The group burst into laughter.

Zhang Lei spat at Xu Damao and said, "Is that all you've got?"

He paused, then continued, "Think about it, Qin Huairu's family is in such dire straits. If one of you were to lend her a helping hand, do you think Qin Huairu would be incredibly grateful and follow that person?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu patted his chest and said, "I will help Sister Qin; we don't need you."

The others immediately objected to this, chattering amongst themselves: "What do you know, you're so young! Sister Qin belongs to everyone, not just you!"

Xu Damao pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to marry someone else's leftovers."

Zhang Lei turned to look at Xu Damao, rolled his eyes and said, "Xu Damao, what do you know? Qin Huairu is the best in our neighborhood. You might not be able to marry such a good wife in the future. You might as well keep this good one in your hands. Maybe you can even save on the bride price."

Hearing Zhang Lei say this, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng were actually very tempted.

After all, Liu Guangtian was not valued in his family, and there was no certainty about him finding a wife.

As for Yan Jiecheng, his father was a shrewd and calculating man, and he himself was heavily in debt. What girl would be willing to suffer with him?

As for Sha Zhu, needless to say, he's just a simp who fawns over Qin Huairu.

At this moment, Zhang Lei said to the group in a sly tone, "You guys shouldn't be so young and ignorant about the goodness of married women. You're mistaking young girls for treasures. Only married women have more charm."

As she spoke, she gave Xu Damao a teasing look.

Xu Damao immediately smiled knowingly, leaned over and patted Zhang Lei on the shoulder, saying, "A kindred spirit!"

Zhang Lei slapped his hand away and said irritably, "Don't mess around, I'm a decent man."

Sha Zhu got anxious and slammed his hand on the table, saying, "Xu Damao, if you dare to do anything to Sister Qin, I will definitely not let you off the hook."

Zhang Lei quickly reached out to stop Sha Zhu and said, "You can't blame Xu Damao for this. All of you can compete fairly."

He paused and then added, "As for who Qin Huairu chooses, that will depend on her own wishes. Everyone should rely on their own abilities."

Liu Guangtian immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's right, Shazhu. When the time comes, we'll each rely on our own abilities, and no one should cheat."

At this moment, Xu Damao interjected, "That's right, Sha Zhu, let's all rely on our own abilities. I'm definitely better than you."

Sha Zhu spat at this moment: "Xu Damao, with your pointy mouth and monkey-like face, I bet even Sister Qin would feel disgusted looking at you."

Xu Damao retorted, not to be outdone: "I'm not trying to be mean, Sha Zhu, but look at your face, you're only in your twenties, but you look like you're in your forties. What woman would choose you?"

Hearing that the two were about to start arguing again, Zhang Lei quickly stopped them, saying, "Alright, alright, just talk, don't resort to personal attacks."

Then Zhang Lei thought for a moment and said seriously, "By the way, none of you are allowed to help Qin Huairu right now, understand?"

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, everyone was confused. Yan Jiecheng frowned and said, "Zhang Lei, didn't you just let us compete? Why aren't we helping her now?"

Zhang Lei said earnestly, "What do you know? Qin Huairu doesn't yet know how difficult life will be for the Jia family. She hasn't reached the point of despair. We need to wait until Qin Huairu truly experiences the cruelty the Jia family inflicts on her, until she can't bear the torment every day anymore. Then, when we go to Qin Huairu and persuade her to leave the Jia family and 'divorce' Jia Dongxu, wouldn't that be a piece of cake? If you help her now, and her life isn't so difficult, will she still have the idea of ​​leaving the Jia family?"

Everyone nodded in agreement and gave Zhang Lei a thumbs up.

Zhang Lei looked at the group and said, "No one is allowed to spread what we say here today. Keep it to yourselves, understand?"

The group nodded quickly.

Then Zhang Lei continued, "Anyway, whether you say it or not, it's all just drunken talk. I don't know anything, and I didn't say anything."

Xu Damao gave Zhang Lei a knowing look and said, "Don't worry, I understand. Whoever spreads this around is a coward. We'll deal with him together."

Several people raised their glasses and chimed in, "That's right, whoever spreads this will be our common enemy."

Then the group raised their glasses and continued drinking.
