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

Before Qin Huairu could speak, Ningru behind her woke up. "Brother-in-law, what do you mean by 'like'? You mean 'really like'! This feeling is so captivating!"

Niu Dazhuang had no choice but to lie down, tilting his head to ask, "And you?"

"Didn't Ningru say it herself? Me too!"

"What's the same? What's the same? Is it the same feeling? Or the same liking?" Niu Dazhuang teased her on purpose.

Qin Huairu glanced at Niu Dazhuang with seductive eyes: "Guess? Hehehe... Hurry up and get up! I think Yue Ru and the others should have made breakfast by now."

Niu Dazhuang is the kind of person who never lets himself be wronged. Qin Huairu had just sat up when Niu Dazhuang pulled her back.

Without saying a word, he pulled the person down again.

Ningru was a little jealous: "Hmph! How annoying." After saying that, she got dressed and went to the main room for breakfast.

"My nemesis, my dear nemesis, ever since the first time I was at your house and you messed things up for me, I knew that I was doomed for life."

"Waaah..."

Qin Huairu tilted her swan-like neck back, her eyes slightly narrowed, and gently stroked Niu Dazhuang's head with both hands.

"Yours, yours, all yours, even my body is yours..."

The two of them were completely absorbed and devoted to each other...

Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qin Huairu began to hallucinate, as if she saw her great-grandmother...

When Qin Huairu woke up, she saw them looking at her anxiously.

"My goodness! I was so scared! Third Sister, you're finally awake." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qin Huairu wake up.

Qin Xueru and Qin Yueru, each grabbing one of Niu Dazhuang's ears, yelled, "You heartless bastard, you're really going to torture me to death!"

Qin Ningru, still the obedient girl she always was, quickly changed the small cotton quilt she had used the night before and hung it out to dry in the yard.

"I...I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you sisters. You two shouldn't blame him, you really killed me this time, you rascal," Qin Huairu said weakly.

"Dazhuang, let's discuss some rules for the house. To prevent a situation like today from happening again, there must be two people in your room every night from now on."

That's why Qin Xueru is considered the head of the household; she's so thoughtful.

Niu Dazhuang still felt wronged.

"I really didn't mean to today! You didn't hear any jingling or clanging outside, did you?"

"You've changed your methods, you're wicked inside, how could we hear you? Don't you think about how late you two were up all night last night?"

This morning I had twice-cooked pork again! Even a person of steel couldn't stand it! Third sister, you always spoil him. Now look what happened, he almost got himself into trouble.

Qin Yueru showed no mercy to either of them. She gave the two of them a thorough dressing-down.

This time they really went too far. It wasn't until the afternoon that Qin Huairu got off the kang (a heated brick bed).

Qin Yueru, like a carefree and silly girl, even teased her older sister: "Third sister, I've only ever heard that if a man does that too much, he'll get a stroke. This is the first time I've ever seen a woman like that."

"Get lost! You're only doing better this year. Last year, you were constantly being tortured until your eyes rolled back!"

"It's true I often get so exhausted I almost pass out, but nothing's ever been as scary as this! Goodness, you were exhaling more than inhaling, it looked like you were about to die, it terrified us!"

"I never expected this to happen. My mind suddenly went blank, and I didn't know anything. What about Dazhuang and the others?"

"Of course, we're going back to the courtyard house."

"Ugh, this is such a waste of time. I still have important things to tell him."

"Little Dang was taken over too. Seventh Brother said you should rest for a couple of days!"

"Or is it about you wanting to go back to work?"

"Well, you all go to work and earn money, and I'm just staying home eating ready-made meals. That doesn't make sense."

"Why are you alone? Isn't Seventh Brother supposed to be staying home too?"

"Hey! Although Dazhuang treats all of us sisters equally, we can't be unaware of the situation. It's only right and proper for Dazhuang to support Xueru; they're a married couple."

"Sister, I disagree with what you said. If Dazhuang didn't provide us with such good living conditions, who would have agreed to follow him without any status in the first place?"

"When you're staying home, you're always the one most eager to go back to work. Since that's what you want, why don't you just stay home and enjoy yourself? Why do you need to go to work?"

"I was tired of staying at home, and besides, going to work isn't that tiring, and I can earn a salary, isn't that great!"

"Then how can I go to work and earn a salary?"

"You almost got me cornered. It's not that I disagree with you going to work, it's that you just said we can't compare ourselves to Lao Qi. Why? Just because she married Da Zhuang first?"

"Sigh, I know you've always been resentful. You two sisters have always fought over everything since you were little, and it's still the same now that you're older."

Yue Ru, you have to think of it this way: if Xue Ru hadn't agreed, would you have been able to enter this house?

Even if we managed to get in touch with Dazhuang through me, it would still be done secretly, unlike the comfortable life we're living now.

If you think about it one step further, with Dazhuang's mentality, he must have had no shortage of women outside the marriage.

He can make money now, and we're doing well. Leaving aside the women outside, just look at the three of you. You all need to have children, right? Even if each person doesn't have more than three, that's nine children. Add to that five adults, and that's fourteen mouths to feed.

Fourteen mouths to feed—just imagine how much money and food stamps that would cost each month. Would we still be able to live so comfortably then?

"Now that you mention it, it's true, sister."

"When Dazhuang can no longer carry them, he will inevitably have to abandon some people, but he will definitely not abandon Xueru. That's the difference."

I only counted our own family members; what about those outside? That's why I have to find this job. Earning my own money means I can spend it myself, and then I can speak with confidence.

"Sis, you're thinking ahead. I'll go talk to Dazhuang about it."

"No need. It's not like Dazhuang isn't coming. I told him myself, and that's the best course of action!"

"Oh! I have a question for you!"

"Why are you being so polite with me? Just ask!"

Yue Ru first looked down at her chest, then at Qin Huai Ru, and then pulled her to her feet.

We compared their heights and measured their bust, waist, and hips.

"What are you doing?" Qin Yueru's actions completely baffled Huairu.

"Now you know where my shortcomings lie?"

Qin Huairu understood: "Silly girl, men are creatures who judge by appearance. We have similar figures. Although my curves are a bit more exaggerated than yours, that was after we had Xiaodang."

The key is the feeling you give him. Although you have big, double-lidded eyes, your gaze is cold.

Look at Ningru, her eyes have that kind of look that makes men want to protect her the moment they see them. It's a look that evokes pity and tenderness.
