My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 274: Nanjing University of the Arts Enters No. 95 and Lives in a Courtyard House

On the He family's side of the Intermediate People's Court, Qin Huairu was vividly telling He Daqing and He Yuzhu about Zhang Lei's family.

Sha Zhu said with some doubt, "Is Zhang Lei's family that rich? Isn't he just a lowly purchasing agent? His salary is probably not even as high as mine."

He Daqing looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, what nonsense are you talking about? You can't judge things by appearances alone. Do you really think Zhang Lei's salary is lower than yours?"

He Yuzhu retorted, "Isn't that right?"

He Daqing shook his head: "If it were really like you say, could his family afford to eat fish and meat every day?"

Sha Zhu said, "Dad, didn't he catch that fish? He just got lucky."

He Daqing retorted, "He caught the fish, but there are many tricks to purchasing them. It's normal for someone who does well to earn in a month what you earn in a year."

Sha Zhu said incredulously, "Impossible, right?"

He Daqing continued, "Even if it's not that much, it's definitely enough for you for several months. If he were just an ordinary purchasing agent, would he be idle every day? He would have been fired long ago. With so many wives, could his salary alone support them? Don't just look at the surface; think more. According to Huai Ru, it's probably from one of his wives' families."

Qin Huairu nodded: "Daqing, your analysis is spot on. These things are the dowry of one of Zhang Lei's wives."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu felt a surge of jealousy and muttered, "We're both men, so why is Zhang Lei doing so well? What am I lacking?"

In the backyard of Liu Haizhong's house, Liu Haizhong listened to his wife's words in disbelief and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Aunt Er nodded: "It's true, many people in the yard saw it. It's just that Zhang Lei is a cunning guy, he deliberately didn't say which daughter-in-law's family it was."

Liu Haizhong pondered for a moment and said, "It seems Zhang Lei has made a good in-law connection. No, I have to go and ask him; maybe I can get some connections through him."

Seeing his excited expression, Auntie Er quickly stopped him, saying, "Husband, it's too late now, let's go tomorrow."

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, yes, tomorrow."

He figured that since Zhang Lei had climbed up the social ladder, and as the second oldest man in the courtyard, he could talk to him regularly, so Zhang Lei couldn't possibly refuse to give him face.

Since they were moving the next day, Ding Qiunan and Lou Xiao'e decided to reward Zhang Lei, as this might be their last time living in this courtyard house. Zhang Lei hadn't expected happiness to come so suddenly, and soon he was enjoying the pleasure of having women on both sides. After a night of passion, he gave it his all and experienced double the joy.

The next morning, everyone got up early. At that moment, Ye Jianjun, Ye Jianlin, and Ye Jianjiang, hearing the commotion, came to Zhang Lei's house. Seeing the moving scene, they couldn't help but ask curiously, "Zhang Lei, what's going on here?"

Zhang Lei greeted his three brothers-in-law with a smile, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, you've arrived."

Ye Jianjun looked at the group packing their things and asked, "What are you all doing?"

Zhang Lei said with a smile, "Brother, we're getting ready to move."

Upon hearing the word "moving," all three were taken aback. Zhang Lei quickly explained the situation, and they breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that it was just moving to a nearby location. They then joined the moving team. With many hands making light work, the belongings were quickly moved.

The people in the courtyard were even more surprised. They'd just moved a bunch of stuff in yesterday, and today they were moving it out again. He Daqing stopped Zhang Lei, who was walking back, and asked, "Zhang Lei, what's going on?"

Zhang Lei looked at He Daqing and said, "Uncle He, I'm moving."

Upon hearing this, everyone curiously gathered around. Liu Haizhong asked in surprise, "Zhang Lei? Where are you moving to? You don't want this house anymore?"

Zhang Lei laughed and said, "How could that be? I still need to live in the house. It's just that there are many people in my family, and we found a spacious place for my wives to move in first."

Everyone then realized what was going on. Zhang Lei didn't explain further, knowing that the more he said, the easier it would be misinterpreted. He simply stated that he wouldn't lose the house, lest someone covet it in the future.

As they were chatting, a stranger entered the courtyard. Uncle Yan Fugui stepped forward and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"

The person said, "No, I'm a new resident of our building. My name is Nan Yi."

Upon hearing "Nanjing University of the Arts," Zhang Lei looked over in surprise, thinking to himself: No way, what a coincidence?

He walked over and asked, "You live here?"

Nanjing University of the Arts nodded: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. The factory directly assigned us this house."

Zhang Lei asked, puzzled, "Which room?"

Nanjing University of the Arts pointed to the two rooms in the back row: "Those two rooms."

Zhang Lei glanced at it; it was one of the worse houses in the courtyard, with poor lighting, but since Nanjing University of the Arts had allocated two rooms to each person, it was reasonable. He smiled and said, "We'll be neighbors from now on, so just let me know if you need any help."

Upon hearing this, Nanjing University of the Arts realized she had been a bit petty before, and smiled, saying, "Thank you."

Zhang Lei waved his hand: "Don't be so polite. We're all comrades from the same factory, and now we live in the same hospital. It's only right that we look after each other."

Seeing Zhang Lei and Nan Yi chatting and laughing, everyone felt that their relationship was unusual.

Zhang Lei watched as Nan Yi tidied up the back room. He wanted to go over and help, but Nan Yi refused outright, so he didn't say anything more.

Soon, everyone gathered in the back building. Zhang Lei looked at his three brothers-in-law, then at Ye Shuqin and the others, and said, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, Shuqin and I have discussed it and we plan to bring Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma over in a while so they can live here."

Ye Jianjun, Ye Jianlin, and Ye Jianjiang were all thrilled to hear this, never expecting that Zhang Lei would consider bringing his elderly relatives over.

The eldest brother, Ye Jianjun, quickly said, "Zhang Lei, you've just moved and you're so busy. You don't need to worry about picking up Mom and Dad and Grandpa and Grandma. The three of us brothers will go."

Zhang Lei looked at Ye Shuqin, who walked over and nodded: "Honey, since our eldest brother has spoken, let's listen to him. Besides, it's convenient for the three of them to pick us up and go back and forth. I'm pregnant now, so it's not convenient for me to travel back and forth."

Zhang Lei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll have to trouble you, brothers."

Ye Jianjun laughed and joked, "What are you saying? You're asking us for trouble? Those are my parents and grandparents."

Zhang Lei laughed too: "Yes, yes, brother, look at my mouth."

Second brother Ye Jianlin walked over and said, "Big brother, Zhang Lei is right. Our parents are his parents, and our grandparents are his grandparents. We're all family."

The others laughed and echoed, "We're all one family, one family."

Soon, Zhang Lei and the others made a decision: Ye Jianjun and his two brothers would take leave to return to Yejiacun and bring Ye Shouhe, Zhang Yulan, Ye Zhenshan, and Li Xiumei back. There were enough rooms available for them.
