My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 376: Yang Maixiang's Positive Performance

At Liu Hongchang's home, Liu Hongchang's mother, Wang Cuilan, looked at Yang Maixiang washing clothes and couldn't help but sigh, "Maixiang, take a rest."

Hearing Wang Cuilan's words, Yang Maixiang smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm not tired. You rest here for a while, and I'll take care of the rest after I finish washing the clothes."

Wang Cuilan smiled and looked at Yang Maixiang, saying, "Maixiang, really, I don't know what to say about what you've done. If our Hongchang were to marry you, it would be an incredible stroke of luck for our Liu family."

Hearing what Liu's mother, Wang Cuilan, said, Yang Maixiang blushed with embarrassment and worked even harder.

Inside the house, Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying whispered among themselves. Liu Yunchang looked at Wu Xiaoying and said, "Look at Yang Maixiang, she works so well."

Wu Xiaoying looked at Liu Yunchang and said, "What's wrong? I've been working from dawn till dusk every day since I came to your Liu family. Now you think I'm lazy? If you think I'm lazy, I'll leave, okay?"

Liu Yunchang quickly tried to appease her, saying, "What are you doing? I only said Yang Maixiang is hardworking, not that you're not. What are you doing?"

Hearing Liu Yunchang's words, Wu Xiaoying shut her mouth and stopped making a fuss. She said, "To be honest, Yang Maixiang isn't even married yet, and she's already so diligent. I don't know how your brother Hongchang got such good fortune?"

When Liu Yunchang heard Wu Xiaoying praise his younger brother, he laughed and said, "That's because our Liu family has good genes. He's tall, strong, and handsome. Otherwise, how could you have chosen me back then?"

Hearing Liu Yunchang's words, Wu Xiaoying rolled her eyes and said, "Get lost! You're ugly as a crap, yet you compare yourself to your brother."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunchang immediately became displeased and said, "What do you mean by 'misshapen and cracked'? I have a genuine shoehorn face."

Upon hearing Liu Yunchang's words, Wu Xiaoying spat and said, "With your long face, anyone who didn't know better would think you're a flattened cucumber."

Liu Yunchang was displeased upon hearing this and said, "Hey, hey, hey, how dare you talk like that, you woman?"

Their voices grew louder and louder. Hearing their argument, Wang Cuilan immediately said, "What are you two doing? What are you arguing about in the house?"

Upon hearing Wang Cuilan's question, the two quickly shut their mouths. Liu Yunchang hurriedly explained, "Mom, it's nothing, we were just chatting."

Wang Cuilan looked at the two of them and said, "Alright, stop chatting. You two should clean up the house too. Don't let Maixiang do all the chores by herself."

Hearing his mother's urging, Liu Yunchang quickly said, "Okay, Mom, I know, I know." Then he gave Wu Xiaoying a wink, and the two of them began cleaning.

While she was busy, Liu Hongchang rode back on his bicycle. He was taken aback when he saw the situation at home and immediately said, "Yang Maixiang, what are you doing here?"

When Yang Maixiang saw Liu Hongchang return, she quickly stood up, wiped her hands on her apron, and said, "Hongchang, you're back."

Meanwhile, Liu's mother, Wang Cuilan, happily said, "Hongchang, you're finally back. Maixiang has been waiting for you all morning. You came to give me gifts and help with the chores, which has given this old man a break."

Upon hearing Wang Cuilan's words, Liu Hongchang quickly said, "Mom, what's wrong with you? How can you let the guests do the work?" As he spoke, he told Yang Maixiang to get up quickly.

Yang Maixiang smiled and looked at Liu Hongchang, saying, "Hongchang, it's nothing. This is my own choice. I saw that the old lady was working very hard, so I wanted to help her share the burden."

At this moment, Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying also came over from inside the house. Liu Yunchang said with a smile, "Hongchang, you're finally back! Come on, put your things down and quickly chat with Maixiang."

Wu Xiaoying smiled and said, "Yes, Hongchang, it's so good to have Maixiang at home."

Liu Hongchang looked at his brother and sister-in-law, nodded and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I understand." As he spoke, he helped Yang Maixiang untie her apron, put down what she was carrying, and said, "Mom, Maixiang and I will go out for a while and come back later."

Hearing Liu Hongchang say this, Wang Cuilan happily replied, "It's alright, it's alright. You young people should go out and explore more. It's okay if you come back a little later."

Liu Yunchang, who was standing next to him, also laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I'll be back later."

Liu Hongchang led Yang Maixiang out of the house. Looking at Yang Maixiang, Liu Hongchang said earnestly, "Yang Maixiang, what brings you here? And you're even working here."

Yang Maixiang looked at Liu Hongchang apologetically and said, "Hongchang, I just wanted to help with some chores and show off in front of your mother."

Upon hearing Yang Maixiang's words, Liu Hongchang knew exactly what she meant. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Maixiang, my mother and sister-in-law are taking care of the housework. We don't need you. You're still a virgin; it wouldn't look good if people saw you like that."

Yang Maixiang said softly, "What's wrong with it?"

Liu Hongchang didn't hear him clearly and asked in confusion, "Maixiang, what are you saying?"

Yang Maixiang quickly explained, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Soon, the two were walking and talking. Suddenly, Liu Hongchang spotted a familiar figure ahead—He Wenhui. He Wenhui was walking towards him.

When Liu Hongchang saw He Wenhui approaching, he instinctively moved away from Yang Maixiang. He Wenhui walked past Liu Hongchang and Yang Maixiang as if she didn't know them, walking straight past without even glancing at Liu Hongchang.

But Yang Maixiang, seeing Liu Hongchang staring intently at He Wenhui who had just walked by, said somewhat angrily, "Liu Hongchang, what are you looking at?"

Upon hearing Yang Maixiang's words, Liu Hongchang finally realized what was happening and said, "Oh, it's nothing."

Seeing Liu Hongchang's expression, Yang Maixiang was immediately furious and said directly, "Look, look, why don't you see his eyeballs?" With that, she ran ahead.

But Yang Maixiang waited and waited and didn't see Liu Hongchang come after her. She thought that she was angry and Liu Hongchang would have to coax her. But when she turned around, Liu Hongchang was still looking in the direction where He Wenhui had left.

After waiting for quite a while, Liu Hongchang finally realized that Yang Maixiang had already walked ahead, so he quickly pushed his bike and chased after her.

Yang Maixiang was initially pleased to see him chasing after her, but Liu Hongchang caught up and said, "Yang Maixiang, I have something to do. You should go home first."

Before Yang Maixiang could react, Liu Hongchang rode away on his bicycle.

Upon seeing this, Yang Maixiang stomped her feet in anger and yelled, "Liu Hongchang, you blockhead! You're blind!"

Yang Maixiang immediately left in anger.
