My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 434: Registering the Marriage Certificate with He Wenyuan

He Wenhui looked at Zhang Lei, then at He Wenyuan, who was disheveled, and felt both angry and anxious.

At this moment, He Wenyuan spoke up: "Sister, don't blame your brother-in-law. It was my own choice. Whether you like it or not, I have to say it: I love my brother-in-law, I love Zhang Lei, and I'm willing to marry him."

Zhang Lei quickly distanced himself: "Don't look at me, I didn't teach her to say that, I really don't know what happened."

He Wenhui glared angrily at Zhang Lei: "You're still looking? Get out of here!"

Zhang Lei didn't dare to upset her because she was pregnant, so he quickly left the room and stood cautiously outside the door, trying to hear what they were saying inside.

Inside the room, He Wenhui looked at He Wenyuan and slapped him across the face: "Have you no shame?"

He Wenyuan retorted, his neck stiff: "What's wrong with liking someone? Don't I have the right to like someone?"

He Wenhui angrily retorted, "That's your brother-in-law! That's my man!"

He Wenyuan said nonchalantly, "So what? My brother-in-law has more than one wife. Yu Li and Yu Haitang both married him, so why can't we?"

These words left He Wenhui speechless for a moment, and she could only angrily say, "That's still not acceptable! When you do this, have you thought about Mom? Have you thought about my younger siblings?"

He Wenyuan retorted, "Why should I think about them? I'll make my own decisions. Besides, Mom, my younger brother and sister all rely on my brother-in-law for living expenses every month, and they're doing so well. What is there to worry about?"

Speechless with anger, He Wenhui snapped, "Fine, since you say that, I'm not going to bother with you anymore!"

He Wenyuan quickly grabbed her: "Sister, don't go."

He Wenhui said irritably, "What's wrong? You were arguing with me so fiercely just now, and now you're like this?"

He Wenyuan said with some concern, "I'm afraid you'll speak ill of me to my brother-in-law."

He Wenhui was immediately enraged: "Are you still my sister or not?"

He Wenyuan immediately pleaded, "Sister, please let me marry your husband. He already has so many wives, one more won't make a difference. Besides, I can help you if I go there. With the two of us sisters in the Zhang family, your husband will only treat our family better because of us."

"You wouldn't want me to marry someone I don't like, would you? What if I meet other men outside, and I don't know if they're good or bad? What if I marry a bad person? It's better to marry a good person like my brother-in-law."

Zhang Lei, who was outside the door, listened and wondered to himself, "Could this be a case of good deeds being rewarded?"

Hearing footsteps, Zhang Lei saw Yu Qiuhua approaching and quickly left the doorway, heading outside. He smoked while looking outside, his heart pounding with anxiety. He was usually straightforward, but this time he felt there should be a lot of noise inside, yet he heard nothing. This only made him more restless, anxious to know how He Wenhui and He Wenyuan's conversation had gone.

After waiting for a full half hour, Zhang Lei couldn't contain himself any longer and hurried back to the He family home. As soon as he entered, he saw He's mother, He Wenyuan, and He Wenhui sitting at the table, seemingly discussing something. The moment Zhang Lei appeared, all three turned to look at him. He was so embarrassed he wanted to turn and leave, but He's mother called out to him, "Zhang Lei, stop hiding, come over here quickly."

Zhang Lei could only steel himself and look at Yu Qiuhua, forcing a dry laugh as he asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Mother He glared at him, annoyed. "You're really something! My two daughters are both so beautiful, isn't marrying one enough? You want to marry a second one too?"

Just as Zhang Lei was about to speak in his defense, He Wenyuan hurriedly pleaded, "Mom, you already agreed to everything."

Mother He waved her hand helplessly: "Alright, alright, what kind of girl is so eager to please like you?"

After saying that, He's mother looked at Zhang Lei: "Zhang Lei, Wenhui has already told me everything. Since you've already seen Wenyuan's body, and she insists on marrying you, I, as her mother, won't be the villain who breaks people up."

He Wenyuan was overjoyed: "Mom, you really agreed?"

Mrs. He nodded.

Zhang Lei glanced at He's mother, then at He Wenhui standing to the side. He Wenhui snorted irritably, "You got off easy."

Zhang Lei muttered under his breath, "It's really not my fault..."

He Wenhui raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong? You dare to do it but not admit it?"

Zhang Lei quickly waved his hand: "No, no, I will marry him, I will definitely marry He Wenyuan."

Hearing this, He Wenyuan was so happy she almost jumped for joy. Zhang Lei quickly winked at her, signaling her to look at He Wenhui, who was still angry. He Wenyuan immediately understood and ran to He Wenhui's side, acting coquettishly, "Sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have raised my voice at you just now. It was all my fault."

Looking at her younger sister, He Wenhui finally softened her heart: "Alright, alright, since you're in such a hurry to get married, then pack your things and go with Zhang Lei to get your marriage certificate."

He Wenyuan immediately ran to Zhang Lei's side, smiling as he took his arm: "Brother-in-law, let's go quickly!"

Zhang Lei was a little flustered by her intimate gesture, while He's mother nodded in agreement: "Go ahead, it will put my mind at ease."

After Zhang Lei and He Wenyuan left, He Wenhui looked at her mother, about to say something, when Yu Qiuhua interrupted her: "Alright, what's the use of saying this now? Didn't you agree just now? Besides, like Wenyuan said, marrying Zhang Lei is better than marrying someone outside who might not know who she'll meet. With you here, she won't be bullied."

He Wenhui nodded: "Mom, don't worry, Zhang Lei has always been reliable in this regard. We are all very happy with him, and he is also very capable."

The two whispered to each other in hushed tones. After listening, He's mother's good eye widened suddenly, and she asked incredulously, "Is that really true?" He Wenhui nodded shyly.

On the other side, He Wenyuan happily hugged Zhang Lei's arm tightly, his eyes crinkling with laughter: "Brother-in-law, I'm finally marrying you!"

Zhang Lei gently released her hand: "Don't do this yet, look, everyone around us is watching."

He Wenyuan then noticed that passersby were staring at them, their actions were too bold, so he quickly loosened his grip a little.

Zhang Lei smiled helplessly and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to get our marriage certificate on my bike."

The two quickly arrived at the marriage registration office. Zhang Lei was already familiar with the place, but He Wenyuan's palms were sweating with nervousness. Looking at the brand-new marriage certificate, Zhang Lei secretly calculated that He Wenyuan was his twelfth wife, completing the twelve zodiac animals. After the photo-taking process, Zhang Lei glanced at her patched clothes and asked, "Are you coming home with me first, or do you want to go shopping for clothes?"

He Wenyuan's eyes lit up: "Of course we'll go buy clothes first! This one I'm wearing is all patched up."

Zhang Lei smiled and said, "Okay, let's go buy clothes then. Oh, and feel free to tell me what kind of jewelry you like. I'll buy you some first, and we can add more later."

He Wenyuan happily thanked him, "Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Zhang Lei raised an eyebrow: "Still calling me brother-in-law?"

He Wenyuan tiptoed and quickly kissed Zhang Lei on the cheek, sweetly changing his address to "Master".

Zhang Lei nodded in satisfaction, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Call me brother-in-law later tonight."

He Wenyuan blushed instantly and said coquettishly, "Honey, you're so annoying, so naughty!"

Zhang Lei laughed and retorted, "I'm bad, so do you like me?"

He Wenyuan nodded vigorously and replied softly, "I like it..."
