My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 399: This melon is both sweet and thirst-quenching.

After talking with Ye Shuqin, Zhang Lei felt much better and understood things.

He still wants to marry He Wenhui. He has already paid such a high price, and he can't possibly give up the wife he has finally won over.

In the future, let He Wenhui visit her parents' home less often. Over time, she will naturally shift her focus here.

With Yu Qiuhua on the He family's side, the expenses for her younger siblings until they turn eighteen have already been agreed upon, so there's not much to worry about.

Over the next few days, Zhang Lei focused on his home and Yang Maixiang.

Yang Maixiang had only been married a short time, and the two still spent their nights together.

The day finally came for Yu Qiuhua to have her bandages removed.

The curtains were drawn tightly shut, and the gauze was untied layer by layer.

Yu Qiuhua slowly opened her eyes.

Everyone waited anxiously.

Yu Qiuhua looked at He Wenhui and said excitedly, "I saw it!"

But when she reached out to grab He Wenhui, she grasped nothing.

The doctor immediately went over to examine her, and then had someone draw back the curtains, trying several times in succession.

Finally, the doctor said helplessly, "You should be prepared: your right eye is fine, but you still can't see with your left eye."

He Wenhui burst into tears on the spot.

Zhang Lei quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Don't cry, at least one eye is fine, isn't it?"

He Wenhui looked at Zhang Lei, hugged him tightly, and burst into tears.

He Wentao was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud, crying and saying, "Mom, it's all my fault, it's my fault."

Ho Man-tat also knelt down, saying, "It's my fault."

Yu Qiuhua slowly got out of bed and looked at her two sons: "You two get up, I don't blame you. It's already good enough that you can see with one eye. This is fate, and you can't blame anyone else."

The doctor gave some advice and then left.

Everyone was actually prepared for this outcome.

Zhang Lei helped with the discharge procedures.

He Wenhui and He Wenyuan supported Yu Qiuhua on either side as they slowly left the hospital.

Zhang Lei handed the two packages to He Wentao and He Wenda, saying, "What are you looking at? You did something wrong, and now you can't even do any work?"

The two dared not argue and followed, clutching their bundles tightly.

Back in the courtyard, the neighbors heard that Yu Qiuhua could see again, and they all came over to congratulate her.

Yu Qiuhua sat in the courtyard chatting with everyone, and He Wenhui was with her.

Zhang Lei then went into the He family's house.

He Wenyuan quickly brought Zhang Lei some water and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, thank you."

Zhang Lei asked in surprise, "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for speaking up for me. My sister apologized to me, saying it was because you spoke up for me."

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Thank you for accepting it, but you need to keep this in mind in the future. You also bear some responsibility for this. If you hadn't left back then, your mother's eyes might not be like this."

He Wenyuan lowered his head: "Brother-in-law, I know I was wrong."

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "Alright, what's past is past. Don't look so sad, it'll only make your mom worry. Look how happy she is now."

He Wenyuan nodded: "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Remembering how He Wenyuan later took the wrong path, Zhang Lei earnestly advised, "Wenyuan, if you ever don't know what to do about money in the future, come to me. Don't go down the wrong path because of money. If you have any other worries, come to me too. Your brother-in-law isn't short of money."

He Wenyuan smiled and nodded: "Thank you, brother-in-law, I understand."

After waiting for a long time, He Wenhui finally returned.

She looked at Zhang Lei nervously and said, "Zhang Lei, can we postpone our wedding for a couple of days? I want to wait until my mother is fully recovered."

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "What's the rush? Let's get the marriage certificate first when we have some free time. Only with a certificate can we be legal."

He Wenhui nodded: "Then tomorrow, we'll go tomorrow."

Zhang Lei: "Okay."

The next day, Zhang Lei took He Wenhui to the marriage registration office.

He himself couldn't remember how many times he had come here.

Holding the marriage certificate, Zhang Lei smiled and asked, "Is there anything you particularly want to eat? I'll take you there."

He Wenhui thought for a long time but couldn't say anything.

Zhang Lei: "Then let's go eat hot pot with mutton."

He Wenhui nodded.

The two ordered three plates of mutton at an old Beijing hot pot restaurant and chatted as they ate.

Seeing He Wenhui's nervous yet happy expression, Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Our wedding was rushed, so we can't have a proper ceremony. I'll buy some extra wedding candy to share with our neighbors. I'll also buy you a few more outfits for changing."

He Wenhui nodded: "Buy more candy, I still have clothes."

Zhang Lei shook his head: "What you have is yours, but what I need to buy can't be less."

At this time, the mutton is fresh and tender, tastier and safer than later processed meat.

After dinner, Zhang Lei went to the department store and bought He Wenhui a watch and a radio.

The two returned to the He family home with bags and packages.

Zhang Lei and He Wenhui began distributing wedding candy from house to house.

When they ran into He Wentao, the guy was still holding a grudge because he had been taught a lesson by Zhang Lei earlier.

Zhang Lei didn't mind, grabbed a handful of candy and put it in his hand: "Call me brother-in-law."

He Wentao: "I won't shout."

He Wenhui immediately became angry: "Wentao, speak properly!"

He Wentao then reluctantly called out, "Brother-in-law."

After everyone left, Zhang Lei showed the marriage certificate to Yu Qiuhua.

The old man beamed with joy, repeatedly saying, "Great!"

Taking the opportunity, Zhang Lei took out the 100 yuan dowry he had prepared: "Auntie, this is my heartfelt gift. Wenhui and I discussed it before, and I will help take care of your younger siblings until they turn eighteen, and give them a monthly allowance to ensure their livelihood."

Yu Qiuhua quickly declined, saying, "That's too much; I don't need that many."

Zhang Lei insisted, "Please accept it. I mean what I say. It's too hard for you to raise them all by yourself. When they grow up, they can take care of you, and then you can enjoy your retirement."

He Wenhui chimed in, "Mom, what Zhang Lei said is true, and I agree."

Yu Qiuhua's eyes welled up with tears: "Zhang Lei, thank you so much. You have done a great favor for our family."

She said to her children, "All four of you, remember how good your brother-in-law is, and never forget it in the future."

He Wenyuan said happily, "Mom, I've always remembered."

After sitting for a while, Zhang Lei prepared to leave alone.

Yu Qiuhua was immediately displeased: "Wenhui, today is your first day of marriage, you have to go back with Zhang Lei. My eyes are better now, you don't need to stay with me. Come back in three days for the homecoming."

He Wenhui nodded: "Mom, I understand."

The two returned together to the courtyard house at No. 90.

As soon as He Wenhui entered the door and saw so many beautiful wives, she immediately realized that Zhang Lei was a real womanizer.

Yang Maixiang walked out confidently and said to He Wenhui with a smile, "Congratulations, you've become a member of the Zhang family too."

He Wenhui then realized that Yang Maixiang had helped Zhang Lei win her over.

Yang Maixiang has a cheerful personality, and a few words from her dispelled her nervousness.

Zhang Lei introduced everyone in his family to He Wenhui one by one, and gave special attention to Ye Shuqin.

Yang Maixiang whispered to her, reminding her of Ye Shuqin's portion size.

He Wenhui nodded seriously, agreeing that the family needed someone in charge.

After dinner, the most important moment arrived.

He Wenhui took the initiative to bring over a foot bath basin.

Zhang Lei was worried that she would be difficult on their first night together, but he didn't expect her to be so obedient and well-behaved.

After pouring the water and washing up, He Wenhui sat on the edge of the bed, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Zhang Lei asked with a smile, "Who taught you all this?"

He Wenhui confessed honestly that Ye Shuqin had pulled her aside and given her detailed instructions beforehand.

Zhang Lei felt even more grateful to Ye Shuqin.

The spring night is too short, a night of tenderness.

Looking at He Wenhui sleeping soundly in his arms, Zhang Lei felt very content.

He thought to himself that he wasn't the kind of devoted sycophant like Liu Hongchang, and that He Wenhui was a sweet and refreshing catch.

He held the person in his arms tightly, extremely satisfied.
