The Little Beauty in the Courtyard

Chapter 16-20

　　Chapter 16:

　　On the way there, before Chen Ye arrived at the Third Old Lady's house, the Third Old Lady's grandson, Xiao Shitou, who usually quarreled with Chen Ye, had already rushed home and told the Third Old Lady and other people in the family about this. So when Chen Ye arrived at the Third Old Lady's house, the Third Old Lady, in contrast to her usual attitude of "this useless boy" when seeing him, smiled and invited him to sit in the house, and asked her daughter-in-law to pour water and grab some candy to entertain the boy.

　　When has Chen Ye ever received such treatment?

　　Chen Ye sat down. This time, without Chen Ye saying anything, the third old lady asked first, "Xiao Ye, I heard that your sister is engaged to Mr. Liang who lives in your building. Is this true?"

　　The third old lady is close to Grandma Lin and knows more about Liang Zhaocheng than others. She trusts Liang Zhaocheng's character.

　　I'm afraid that he will marry Xiaoxi unwillingly, and Xiaoxi's life will not be easy.

　　"Of course it's true. Not only is it true, but Brother Liang moved to our yard yesterday."

　　Because this "engagement" was mysterious, Chen Ye didn't want to talk about it in detail and jumped directly from one topic to another.

　　The third old lady was startled.

　　The old man is still a bit conservative.

　　They just got engaged, why did they move directly into the Lin family's yard to live together?

　　She was happy for Lin Xi at first, but after hearing this, her heart, which had finally been relieved, started to lift again. The smile on her face faded, and she asked Chen Ye, "Didn't you just get engaged? Why did you move into your yard? Are you planning to get married soon?"

　　Third Grandma, your brain works faster than mine.

　　Chen Ye complained in his heart, but shook his head and said, "That's not the case. However, my grandmother asked me to let Brother Liang move to our yard before she died. She felt that it was unsafe for my sister and I to live in such a big yard. But you know my sister, Third Grandma. She is afraid of this and that. She didn't plan to let Brother Liang move in. We had no choice yesterday. We were forced to do so. If Brother Liang hadn't come back, my sister and I would have been kicked out to sleep in the utility room."

　　"ha?!"

　　The third old lady was startled, and then her face suddenly darkened. She said, "What? What do you mean you and your sister are going to be kicked out to sleep in the utility room? What do you mean? Who dares to go to your house to bully you and your sister and wants to occupy your house? Could it be those bastards from the Xia family?"

　　The third old lady was so angry that she slammed the table.

　　Chen Ye: ...

　　"That's not the case. It was the Zhou family, the Zhou family my sister's mother married. They came to our house yesterday and said that the whole family was planning to move to our city. Living in a rental building was too crowded, so they insisted on living in our yard. They also said that their Zhou something pig and something treasure wanted to transfer to another school. One moment they asked my sister to pay for the tuition, and the next moment they asked my sister to help them transfer their household registration to our house. When my sister said it was inconvenient, they started crying and scolding. My sister was almost sick from anger. Fortunately, Brother Liang came back, and my sister said that my grandmother had said before she died that she wanted Brother Liang to move in, and there was no way they could move in too."
