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

Although Su Ting was a few years older than Qin Ningru, she was still too inexperienced for Niu Dazhuang. He didn't even need to use any new tricks to quickly bring her down.

Su Wan was different. In the six months she had been working on the construction site, she couldn't say that they played friendly matches every night, but they did come every few days, especially after winter came and she moved to a small detached house outside Changping County.

Across the hall live Bai Hongyan and Yu Li. If you don't compete, they will. People are all competitive. Even though Su Wan is alone, she can't fall behind.

Because it was a single person, Niu Dazhuang was the one who received special care, and the product he developed was called "Tongtou" (meaning "thorough").

She's also in her thirties. Besides Ye Chunlan, Su Wan is one of the strongest fighters.

After more than three months of practice, Su Wan has fully adapted to Niu Dazhuang.

The enemy not only refused to surrender, but also dared to fight back. This was unacceptable. Niu Dazhuang wasn't going to tolerate it and unleashed his ultimate move.

Subsequently, Baiyun's famous saying was perfectly embodied in Su Wan.

Baiyun's famous saying: "Old Wu next door, when he sees me, he trembles all over!"

Around 10 o'clock, Niu Dazhuang had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a whole pack of Hademen cigarettes tucked under his arm.

In his other hand, he was also carrying a box of his favorite Wu Yutai Jasmine Maojian tea.

This was a New Year's gift that Su Wan and her sister prepared for Niu Dazhuang, but they didn't meet during the New Year.

At work, Niu Dazhuang usually ate and drank with Bai Hongyan, so he didn't take the things to the garage and just threw them on her desk.

Bai Hongyan glanced at it indifferently; what she cared about was whether Niu Dazhuang had slept with Su Ting as well.

Two big eyes stared straight at Niu Dazhuang: "Did you also... Don't deny it. You went to the second floor at the back this morning around 8 o'clock, and it's already past 10 o'clock. You're only coming back now. What kind of work do you need to talk about for more than two hours?"

Niu Dazhuang, with an air of utter defiance, spread his hands and said, "I didn't deny it!"

Bai Hongyan suddenly stood up from her chair and said helplessly, "How could you say that! It's one thing for Sister Su Wan, but Sister Su Ting already has a man. Even though she was labeled a rightist and sent to the countryside!"

"I can't help it, your man is just so charming. Don't worry, no matter how many women I have, you'll definitely get your share."

"That's what I meant. Judging from your tone, you're going to add new sisters for us? Can you handle it? Aren't you afraid of breaking your back?" Bai Hongyan suddenly thought of something.

She ignored Niu Dazhuang and swayed her hips as she went out.

When they came back, she was holding Xiao Qinling's hand, with Bai Hongmin following behind: "Sister, what's wrong with you? I'm not going back. We agreed to stay with you for a few more days."

When Bai Hongyan saw her sister following her, she ignored her and said to Niu Dazhuang, "You're done here. Go to the garage to maintain the car."

Bai Hongyan is now deeply involved herself, and she doesn't want to drag her younger sister into it too. Having someone like herself in the family is enough of a headache for her parents. If Bai Hongmin gets involved, her father will probably want to kill Niu Dazhuang when he finds out.

The best way now is to keep the two of them out of contact. If they don't contact each other, no matter how capable Niu Dazhuang is, he won't be able to show his skills. Fortunately, the two of them haven't hit it off yet.

Bai Hongyan suddenly realized that Niu Dazhuang was a womanizer; as long as you spent more time with him, he would find you pleasing and be able to win you over.

Even Su Wan, who is usually proud, was won over, yet his innocent younger sister managed to escape his clutches.

Since Bai Hongmin was unwilling to leave, Bai Hongyan waited at the office door with her lunchbox in advance when it was time to get lunch.

"Let's eat separately at lunch today!"

Niu Dazhuang didn't care at all; what he was thinking about now was how to get Qin Huairu to stop supporting her own son after he got back at noon.

The little boy is pitiful now, but Niu Dazhuang doesn't want to raise such an ungrateful wolf cub.

How could Niu Dazhuang possibly accomplish something that Dorgon couldn't even do after losing the entire country?

Niu Dazhuang's expression turned sour. He absolutely could not raise someone else's son, but he was also reluctant to part with Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu is the object of countless time travelers' obsession. Those who have tasted her know she is truly top-notch, one of the Ten Great Treasures, her beauty lies within.

Niu Dazhuang's mind raced, trying to figure out how to make Qin Huairu not hate him, while also preventing her from raising a wolf cub.

When they arrived at the small courtyard near Yuanen Temple, they saw the three sisters, all with gloomy faces.

"On the way, Ningru gave me a brief overview of the situation. Huairu, I can understand why you want to take Banggen over to raise him; after all, he's your own son!"

Hearing her husband say this, Qin Huairu's eyes reddened, tears streamed down her face, and she hugged Niu Dazhuang's neck, sobbing uncontrollably.

Niu Dazhuang patted her back reassuringly: "Alright, I'll go talk to Aunt Jia."

"Yeah, Dazhuang, you're so kind! After you take the little root, I'll go back to work in the spring too!"

"Let's talk about it later. Even if I go, I might not be able to persuade Aunt Jia. After all, Xiaobanggeng is surnamed Jia, and he is now the only hope of the Jia family."

"I'm not letting Banggeng'er change his surname, I just don't want to see him suffer!"

Niu Dazhuang helped Qin Huairu up, and the two sat facing each other on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed): "Was Jia Dongxu in an accident while at work?"

"Yeah, after the divorce, he became even more unscrupulous. He spent all night fooling around with that slut at the end of the alley, and he even dozed off at work."

"It's strange, isn't it? Jin Shichang just stood by and watched his wife cheat on him, and he didn't do anything about it?" Qin Xueru asked, voicing the question that had been on her mind.

"Who knows what kind of shady schemes they're plotting behind the scenes?" Qin Huairu replied irritably.

"Alright, now's not the time to discuss them. What does the steel mill have to say?"

"What else can we say? The person died at work, so we have to pay compensation, and they'll even cover the funeral expenses!"

"Okay, you guys wait at home, I'll go check on things." After reassuring Qin Huairu, Niu Dazhuang went back to the courtyard house alone.

Those who were at work were still at work, and only the eldest uncle, eldest aunt, and third aunt of the Jia family were keeping Jia Zhangshi company.

Little Banggeng was only six years old after the New Year (by Chinese reckoning), and he didn't know what the white mourning clothes on his head meant. He was playing with his peers in the garden.

As soon as Niu Dazhuang stepped across the threshold, Jia Zhangshi flew into a rage: "Niu Dazhuang, are you here to snatch the child for Qin Huairu? Let me tell you, no way!"

Jia Geng'er is the only heir of our Jia family. Anyone who dares to take my grandson away from me, I'll fight them to the death! Oh my god! Dongxu! Open your eyes and see! You've only just left and someone's already trying to cut off our family line...

Niu Dazhuang ignored her and stood at the door, coldly watching Jia Zhangshi's performance.
