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

Chen Xueru put her hands on her hips, ready to unleash her full power, but Qin Xueru interrupted her: "Alright, I didn't come here to argue with you. You live your life, and we live ours. Isn't that better?"

Why be confrontational? I'm making peace with you not because I'm afraid of you, but because I don't want my husband to be in a difficult position.

Everyone knows what kind of bastard he is, and I'm not the petty kind of person. But don't even think about taking over my place.

Although I am an ordinary person, I have three sisters supporting me, and you can't shake my position.

If you want to live a peaceful life, then let's live like this. If you don't want a stable life, I have ways to help you too. Sister Huizhen, don't you agree with me?

Even Xu Huizhen, a woman with eight hundred schemes in her mind, was greatly impressed by Qin Xueru's words.

With such a magnanimous woman at home, Niu Dazhuang has no chance of trouble in the home. And she's got some tricks up her sleeve; that last sentence was clearly an attempt to win him over!

The Qin sisters are very magnanimous; I witnessed that last year. These four sisters are exactly what Niu Dazhuang, that donkey, likes. With these four sisters at home, even if there are fairies outside, they are just fairies outside.

Xu Huizhen agreed with a smile: "Yes, Xue Ru is right. It's good for everyone to live their own peaceful lives as before."

Chen Xueru, on the other hand, had no intention of taking over someone else's place.

Normally, whenever Dazhuang mentions you in front of us, he always praises you highly. We met last year, I know that!

To be objective, if I had Chen Xueru's looks and figure, and my man always praised other women in front of me, I wouldn't be happy about it!

Xu Huizhen is really good at talking; she praised Chen Xueru, she praised Qin Xueru, and she also shifted the blame to someone else.

Chen Xueru felt like she had punched cotton; she was about to explode when the other party made peace, making her seem a bit unreasonable.

Qin Xueru deliberately glanced at Chen Xueru again and nodded. "Dazhuang has always had good taste in women. She is indeed beautiful, and her skin is as smooth as milk."

"They're much better than me, a country woman."

Chen Xueru not only couldn't respond to these words, but also felt awkward listening to them! On the surface, it was a compliment, but in reality, it was an attempt to elevate herself.

There are five women in this courtyard, each more cunning than the last, but Qin Yueru is the most naive.

She felt that Lao Ba was too weak. "We're in the right position. How dare those women outside provoke us? We'll take them down one by one."

Xu Huizhen tried to smooth things over again: "Xue Ru, we sisters have quite a bit of a connection, especially you and Chen Xue Ru, you even share the same name. Let's get closer in the future. Do you think Da Zhuang already had plans in mind all along?"

Qin Yueru, oblivious to the situation, replied, "What plan?"

"Hehe... You'll have to ask that bad guy. Let's go, it'll be dark by the time I get back."

Before leaving, he gave Chen Xueru a comforting look.

It was Lin Yongmei's first time meeting the mistress of the house, so she quickly saw her off with a big smile. Only after all three of them had left the alley did Lin Yongmei return.

Seeing that Chen Xueru still had a gloomy face and looked unhappy.

"Yongmei, how did I end up being so easily manipulated by a country woman? I really underestimated her."

"Xue Ru, a woman whom the master has always protected, can she be a kind person?"

If Xue Ru were so easily manipulated, her own sisters would have already taken her place.

"You're an observer, but you helped me point out where I went wrong today. I must get back at you next time!"

"To put it bluntly, if she's in that position, you're naturally at a disadvantage when you talk to her."

I think what I said to her made a lot of sense; living a peaceful life is the best thing.

"I can't swallow this!"

"Then you can only work on your master. Make him marry you. Then have him serve you tea!"

"This one won't do, let's try another one!" Chen Xueru knew her importance in Niu Dazhuang's heart.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that. Didn't you hear what she said? She has three sisters to back her up. It's 4 to 1. And she has the official title, how can you win?"

"I'm so angry! Huizhen is so cunning. When she gets back, I'll get her to give me some advice. I absolutely have to get revenge!"

"Well, I shouldn't be saying this, but when my master brought me out, you were the first person he assigned to. We've spent the most time together, and I have the deepest feelings for you. So, I'll be bold and say something you might not want to hear."

You don't have Xue Ru's magnanimity. Didn't she say that she didn't want to argue with you so as not to put her master in a bad position?

If you keep bringing this up, and the owner finds out, you know the consequences better than I do.

Chen Xueru glared at him: "At worst, we'll just break up. I'm not going to put up with this!"

"Are you willing to give that up? Don't follow Huizhen's example; you'll only end up even less confident! I suggest you start thinking about how to have a baby soon. With a child, you'll have more confidence!"

"You think I don't want to? Huizhen and I have discussed it many times in private. That donkey Niu Dazhuang seems to be doing it on purpose; he just won't leave any offspring. There's nothing we can do!"

"Knowing your master well, he hates being schemed against behind his back, so you might as well just be frank with him. I think that'll achieve your goal more effectively!"

"You're truly a good maid to your master. You're always speaking up for him, whether you're saying it or not!"

"You haven't experienced my hardships, so you can't understand my thoughts. My master has me completely under his control, inside and out, body and soul. He is the man I admire most in this world."

"Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore. It's pointless. I'm going to lie down in my room for a while. You go about your business!"

Having learned from last year's experience, Xu Huizhen didn't do anything herself this time; she just gave instructions.

Qin Huairu took action, while Qin Ningru took notes in a small notebook, making sure she wouldn't forget now.

Next year, we won't need to bother them anymore. Everyone knows how to pickle ordinary vegetables, but pickling preserved vegetables requires a recipe and some skill.

After working until sunset, Qin Xueru wanted to invite Xu Huizhen to stay for dinner, but after much polite politeness, Xu Huizhen still went home.

After the person left, Qin Yueru recounted what had happened at Xu Huizhen's house to her other sisters.

"Xue Ru, don't be angry. Our master has had countless romantic entanglements outside. It's already a miracle that he hasn't come knocking on our door with his child." Qin Huai Ru was comforting Xue Ru, but also reminding her.

"Third sister, these things are really unpredictable. You don't need to comfort me, I'm already prepared. Meeting a man like this is our good fortune, but also a disaster for us women."

It depends on how you see it. With you all backing me up, I'm full of confidence!

The pickling of salted vegetables and preserved vegetables is now complete. Next Sunday, it'll be time to get up in the middle of the night again to queue up for Chinese cabbage.
