Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

Niu Dazhuang's arrival brought countless joys and excitement to the Ye sisters.

After drinking some wine at noon, Niu Dazhuang was in particularly high spirits. The nickname he gave Ye Chunlan, "Eight Cakes," was just for show; a woman's vigorous body often indicates a strong sexual desire.

Before, in the Ma family, she always lived cautiously, and her desires were always suppressed. More importantly, Ma Xingbang couldn't develop her potential. Before she could even exert her strength, Ma Xingbang would obediently surrender.

Ever since Niu Dazhuang messed with her, her full potential has been unleashed, especially after Niu Dazhuang enforced family discipline on her, which completely aroused the desires that had been suppressed deep within her heart.

After comforting Ye Chunlan, Niu Dazhuang rushed to the small tavern ahead, as if he were rushing to a market. Fortunately, he had the Joyful Buddha Skill to protect him; otherwise, Niu Dazhuang would not have been able to hold on.

Niu Dazhuang was extremely busy.

Bai Hongyan wasn't in a good mood. After the family reunion dinner, her brother and sister-in-law left with their nephews and nieces, leaving only the elderly couple and her younger sister Bai Hongmin at home.

Throughout the year, Bai Hongyan could only see her father a limited number of times. She could find excuses to avoid him at other times, but not during the Chinese New Year.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going back to my room first." Bai Hongyan wanted to hide inside first.

Mr. Bai coughed lightly, and Mrs. Bai spoke up: "Xiaoyan, next year—no! This year—your sister will be eighteen. We don't mean to interfere with your marriage, but, once your sister is married, will you still be single?"

The most important reason why Bai Hongyan was unwilling to come back was this: pressure to get married!

"You're already twenty-six this year, right? People your age are already mothers of several children, and you're still so carefree! Is that appropriate?"

"This year, this year I'll bring one home for you!"

"Do you even believe that yourself? You've been saying it for years!" Mother Bai was speechless.

Bai Hongyan shrugged, looking completely unfazed: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. I can't exactly go out on the street and grab any random man to be your son-in-law!"

Seeing her like this, Bai's mother felt a headache coming on: "Old Bai, say something!"

Mr. Bai put down his teacup, sighed, and said, "Eldest daughter, your mother and I can't be said to be unenlightened, but this openness is not an excuse for you to brush us off."

You're already 26 this year. If you don't get married soon, you'll really be an old maid by the time we're going to meet Marx.

Your two older brothers and sister all have families, but what about you? You'll be all alone! I heard you're quite popular with the opposite sex at work! We'd be happy if you brought home a driver!

"Xiaoyan, I'll give you another six months. If you don't make any progress on your own, I'll introduce you to someone!"

"Whatever, I'm done talking, I'm going back to my room!" Before the elderly couple could say anything more, Bai Hongyan got up from the sofa and went back to her room.

Bai's mother shook her head helplessly and quickly said to her little daughter, "Xiaomin, don't follow your sister's example. I'll introduce you to someone after autumn this year."

"Mom, I'm not in a hurry. Let me talk to my sister first! I still want to go to university!"

"Hey, your sister has made you lose your mind. You want to go to college so you can find someone you like there."

"Mom, I'm going to college, not to find a son-in-law! Honestly, I'm going back to my room too!"

Just as she was about to get up, Bai's mother pulled her back and whispered, "Try to find out if your sister really doesn't have a boyfriend, or what's going on?"

"Oh, I understand!" Bai Hongmin said after entering the house.

Mr. Bai called his wife into the study and closed the door. "What did you find?" he asked.

"There are some things I can't say to you men."

"You mean, our eldest daughter is dating someone, and the problem lies with this boyfriend?" A leader is a leader; he understands his wife's words quite well.

Instead of answering directly, Bai's mother said, "Yesterday when Xiaoyan was changing clothes, I saw... how should I put it, she probably slept with a man!"

"Bang!" Mr. Bai slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair and stood up!

"Who dares to treat my daughter like this?"

"Old Bai, don't get so worked up! What's wrong with our eldest daughter not living here? I've asked Xiaomin to inquire."

"You're a terrible mother! You don't care at all about your daughter's marriage! And forget it, I'm even worse as a father! Let's see which brat dares to be irresponsible!"

"Old Bai, why are you in such a hurry! Sit down, sit down. Let's wait. Xiao Yan didn't grow up around us, she's used to being independent. If we interfere directly, it will only cause her to react negatively. We need to be more tactful!"

The elderly couple still felt somewhat guilty about their daughter who hadn't grown up by their side. It was because she was a girl that they went to such lengths; if it were their two sons, they would have given them a good beating long ago.

Meanwhile, Bai Hongmin, the younger sister, returned to the room where the two sisters lived with her mission.

Seeing that Bai Hongyan was preparing to soak her feet,

"Sis, let's go together!"

"How old are you all, still soaking your feet together? One foot basin can fit all four of our feet!"

"Hehe, then let's use two basins. I'll go get the kettle." The two sisters sat side by side on the bed and started soaking their feet.

"You little traitor, are you trying to trick me into revealing information again!"

"No, Mom was just worried about you."

"Hey! Xiaomin, don't follow my example. If you meet the right person, get married. Don't hesitate! Some people, once missed, are gone forever!"

"Sis, you're still not over it?"

"I've already moved on. Do I look like I haven't?"

"So you've found the right one?"

"That clever little devil is trying to trick me into revealing information again!"

"Tell me, I promise I won't tell Mom."

"Actually, I understand my parents quite well now. Although I understand them, I still don't like listening to their nagging, especially my mom, who can go on and on."

Bai Hongmin looked pitiful: "Sigh! You can run away from Mom's nagging, but I'm in trouble."

You've all gone out, and I'm all alone now!

"Aren't you going to university? Then you can go solo. What do you want to study?"

"I'm also hesitant. My mom wants me to study medicine like her, but I want to be an educator, nurturing students all over the world!"

"Then choose one you like!"

"Hehe, I knew you'd support me. Thanks, sis! I'll go pour out the water for you!"

Just as Bai Hongmin poured the foot-washing water into a basin, she noticed a dark red patch below Bai Hongyan's knees.

"Sis, what happened to your knee?" she said, reaching out to touch it.

Bai Hongyan didn't even bother to wipe her feet, quickly pulling down her trouser legs: "No...it's nothing!"

Bai Hongyan couldn't very well say that she knelt for too long during the two nights before she came back, practicing human pyramid acrobatics with Niu Dazhuang and Yu Li, and that's how she got sick.

This Niu Dazhuang is getting more and more of a pain...
