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

In the original drama, this two-courtyard house was sold by Pian'er for 50,000 yuan. This price was considered astronomical at the time.

The main problem is that in the original drama, Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru, despite being good sisters on the surface, are actually rivals.

Xu Huizhen used some underhanded tactics to secretly buy Pian'er's courtyard.

Things are different now; now the two are comrades-in-arms fighting the Japanese together in the same trench.

"I think it's a good idea, but Dashilan is too noisy and the surrounding environment is a bit chaotic. It's not as quiet as this place."

"Xueru, the surroundings are a bit messy. Are you worried about people hearing your nonsense at night?" Xu Huizhen teased.

"You still have the nerve to laugh at me, as if you don't make a sound?"

"Alright! Our eldest sister doesn't need to laugh at our second sister. They're exactly the same. Don't worry, the courtyard is so big, even if you rip the roof off at night, no one will hear you!"

"Let's stop daydreaming here and find some time to go take a look. We can try to negotiate the price in person. 50,000 is definitely out of the question. If it's well-preserved, 30,000 at most. What do you think?"

"Grandpa Pian'er's whole family is struggling to make ends meet, and you're expecting him to come up with the money for repairs? It's already a miracle that it doesn't leak. We'll definitely tidy it up a bit after we buy it."

I think 30,000 is too much. You do the math; how much does an average worker earn in a month these days? If we don't sell, he won't be able to sell it for at least three to five years.

"Alright, you're the main character, I'll just play a supporting role. I'm sure I can win you over."

Neither of these two is easy to deal with; they're both incredibly cunning. If they team up to take down Master Pian, it'll be a piece of cake.

The old man has his own principles. No matter how much you beg, he won't sell if it's less than 25,000.

Just as both sides were testing their patience, Niu Dazhuang came swaying over to deliver the grain.

"Xue Ru, why did you move in here? You made me come all this way for nothing!" Niu Dazhuang said, carrying the rice and flour from the back of his bicycle towards Xu Huizhen's kitchen.

"Your woman is being threatened. If you don't move in, I'll let someone ride her away." Chen Xueru had been holding back her anger for a long time, and now that she saw her husband, she was ready to complain.

"Damn it! Who's so blind as to threaten my woman!" Niu Dazhuang was now full of confidence.

"Who else could it be but Liao Yucheng, whom you always told me to be more wary of?"

"Got it, I'll make arrangements when I get back tomorrow. I'll beat him so badly his own mother wouldn't recognize him."

"That's more like it. You dare threaten me? Do you really think I have connections?"

"Haha, you've got something up there, let's go..." Niu Dazhuang put all the food he brought into the kitchen.

"Dazhuang, food is so precious these days. Next time you send the food, please be a little later," Xu Huizhen instructed.

"That's true, then I'll come over after 10 o'clock next time. Your business is closed during this time, what do you do at home?"

He then went into the bedroom.

"Dazhuang, from now on, bring less food each time, just enough for us to eat for three or four days!" Chen Xueru had a little scheme in mind.

Niu Dazhuang often had in-depth conversations with them, and he's learned a lot from it.

"Three or four days' worth of food isn't enough, how about a week? Xue Ru, are you missing a man?"

Chen Xueru tapped Niu Dazhuang's forehead with her index finger: "What do you think?"

Niu Dashan then lay down on the kang (heated brick bed)...

Around 10 p.m., Niu Dazhuang went to Yu Li's place. It wasn't that he didn't want to go back to the courtyard house, but at this hour, Uncle San would definitely have already locked the gate.

Previously, gates weren't even locked at night, but now the streets are a mess, and burglaries are frequent. It's not just the tenement where Niu Dazhuang lives; it's the same all over the city. Patrols have been increased at night.

Try to keep things level. Besides, Niu Dazhuang really does have his eye on Yu Haitang's long legs.

Two or three months have passed, and Yu Haitang has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. She's even become a little addicted.

It seemed to open a new world for Yu Haitang. She never thought that being a woman had such a hidden benefit.

She also understood why her own sister would rather lie to their parents than stay with this beastly man.

The livestock are real livestock, and the enjoyment is real enjoyment.

"Is this little wild horse behaving itself now?"

"Hmm, be honest, is that Milan also your woman?"

Niu Dazhuang knew she would ask, so he simply hummed in response and waited to see Yu Haitang's reaction.

Young people must first be given rules.

But to my surprise, Yu Haitang didn't follow up and fell fast asleep. Come to think of it, it's almost 2 a.m.

She was lucky she didn't faint on the spot. Of course, it was also because Niu Dazhuang deliberately went easy on her; as he had more and more women in his bed, his temperament had changed quite a bit.

The next day at noon, he handed a Daqianmen cigarette to Niangen, who was on duty with him: "Brother, I've run into a bit of trouble, need your help?"

"Brother, given our relationship, just let me know if you need anything. If we don't have enough people, we'll call more. At least our team is always available."

Although Niu Dazhuang was the squad leader, he was actually the second-in-command of the security department. However, he got along very well with these brothers and treated them like brothers in private.

"We don't need that many people, just the two of us will do. You don't need to lift a finger when we get there. Just keep an eye on my back, don't let anyone sneak up on me."

"Hehe, with your physique, you're afraid someone might ambush you later!"

"No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife. It doesn't hurt to be careful."

"That's true. Who made you angry?"

"A piece of trash who's not even fit to be discussed, let's go."

Chen Xueru's silk shop has closed all its front stores, leaving only Liao Chengyu, the general manager, to look after the warehouse.

At noon, Liao Chengyu ate a cornbread made of three kinds of flour. To save his energy, he lay down after eating.

This man was so hungry he couldn't sleep. He was thinking about how to get some money or food from Chen Xueru, this rich young woman, ideally getting both money and sex.

Don't let Chen Xueru's serious demeanor fool you; once she's in bed with a man, she's a wild and unrestrained woman. Others may not know, but Liao Chengyu certainly does.

Then I heard footsteps outside.

Liao Chengyu quickly grabbed the prepared iron shovel and shouted, "Who's there?"

"Bang!" The warehouse door was kicked open.

"Who are you people? This belongs to the state."

Niu Dazhuang didn't waste any words with him. He quickly walked a few steps to his bedside, reached out and snatched the iron shovel from his hand.

Liao Chengyu didn't want to give up either, but he wasn't as strong as Niu Dazhuang.

After dodging the iron spade, Niu Dashan punched him in the stomach.

Liao Chengyu immediately bent over like a shrimp.

Niu Dazhuang dragged the man out onto the street like a dead dog. Then he kicked him hard in the lower back twice.

"Fellow neighbors, fellow passersby, please be the judge..."
