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

"Don't you think about your future?" Mr. Bai was still very traditional and wanted his daughter to be happy.

Without a second thought, Bai Hongyan said seriously, "I don't care how many women he has outside. He hasn't shortchanged me at all, so why should I worry about it? This is a headache for Qin Xueru!"

"Hmph! What a pair of oddballs! Not only does Qin Xueru not care, but she also dragged her own sister and cousins ​​into this. There's nothing that can't be more strange in this world!" Even Bai's father cursed, which shows how much this matter affected him.

Bai Hongjun quickly picked up the photos and glanced at them: "Holy crap! It's true, how could there be such a woman?"

Bai Hongbing also spoke up: "When I started investigating, I was even more shocked than you all. If Qin Xueru was ugly, I could understand. The Qin sisters are all incredibly beautiful. I just wondered, where did this Niu Dazhuang get such great charm..."

Bai Hongjun asked, "Are you sure the Qin sisters are both mentally sound?"

"Are you sure? Doesn't your older sister seem mentally unstable?"

"Alright, that's enough about that. This Niu Dazhuang must have some extraordinary abilities. Even if I gave you all these women, you couldn't keep them all at peace. Since you don't have that ability, you'd better stay put. I called you here today..."

"Dad, I think you should talk to Dazhuang more. Even though you've been with him for so many years, you still can't figure him out."

No matter the situation, I always found him calm and collected, and his methods of making money were a mystery. I did the math for him; with his current income, he simply couldn't support so many people.

"Xiaoyan, are you saying that he only used the old monk's words, and that he made these predictions himself?"

"I can't say for sure, but I think that since the old monk could make predictions, there must be some details. Having Dazhuang tell you these details should help your judgment."

Bai's father didn't say anything, but took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "After you left, I thought about it. Those two have always had disagreements on economic development. After the 23 articles were finalized in January this year... based on past experience, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Dad, I don't understand these things. I still think you should talk to Dazhuang. Maybe he has some unexpected perspectives."

Seeing her father frown, Bai Hongyan quickly explained, "I'm doing this for our family's sake. What if his opinion helps your judgment? Even if it doesn't, it can't hurt to hear from others!"

Mr. Bai sneered: "A bystander? Does a mere deputy section chief have the right to be a bystander?"

"It wouldn't hurt to listen to the voices of ordinary people at the bottom of society, would it?" Bai Hongmin was going all out to create an opportunity for Niu Dazhuang.

After saying that, she quickly gave her two older brothers a look, meaning, "Please say something for me!"

Under her father's very nose, she was upsetting and amused. His eldest daughter was just too stubborn. Once she made up her mind about someone, not even eight horses could pull her back.

"Alright! Stop making faces and acting like a kid. Xiaoyan, since you value him so much, I'll give him a chance. Have him come again tomorrow night, and you two brothers should come too."

Rules are rules, and nobody can really do much about their own child.

Niu Dazhuang wasn't idle either. Once he got Qin Xueru and Qin Huairu on board with the Qin sisters, he wouldn't have to worry about the rest.

Qin Xueru had a bad impression of Chen Xueru, and in turn, Chen Xueru was even less willing to face Qin Xueru all day long.

Niu Dazhuang even resorted to family discipline that he hadn't used in years, and he made Chen Xueru faint several times.

Chen Xueru bit her lip until it bled, but she still refused to agree.

Xu Huizhen also got caught in the melon pudding! She was so shocked by it that she fainted two or three times.

It started around 8 o'clock and went on until almost midnight.

"Da...Dazhuang, I know you're doing this for our own good, but you can't force a cow to drink water! Stop it! If you keep doing this, Xueru will have to stay in bed for half a month!"

Chen Xueru was still being stubborn, frowning as she said haltingly, "Let him kill me, they all say that dying under a peony is a romantic death! In the afterlife, I'll give him a big green hat."

Niu Dazhuang rolled over and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed): "If I were gone for a year or two, and things weren't peaceful in China, would you be able to live such a peaceful life without my protection?"

"Dazhuang, we're not stupid. If things look bad, we can still run. It's safer than when the siege was lifted," Xu Huizhen continued, trying to smooth things over.

"It's different. For example, the second son of the Cheng family led a group of young people, tied you up, made you wear a tall hat with 'broken shoe' written on it, and paraded you around with a rope..."

And you, Xueru, that Liao Yucheng, we've really offended him terribly. With this opportunity, do you think you'll come out unscathed?

Chen Xueru was still indignant: "That doesn't mean we can act with impunity! They're just making me participate in the parade for no reason!"

"Helping you march is the least of my worries."

"Are you suggesting we use the tiger bench and chili water again?!"

"That was physical torture. You and Huizhen didn't come from good backgrounds. We'll make you explain how your parents exploited the working class back then, to the point where they were thrown around with their hands behind their backs, more than a dozen of them..."

"Don't try to scare us. If they do this, doesn't the government care?"

"He can't even protect himself, how can he be expected to help?"

"Wouldn't that create chaos?"

What do you think?

"How do you know? You're talking as if you saw it with your own eyes."

"I can't talk to you guys. Go back or don't, it's up to you. I'll make sure things are settled back home. If things don't look good, just run away. Don't take anything with you. Just be safe and sound. Everything's taken care of back home. You won't go hungry. I'm going to sleep now."

The two women were still injured the next day, and Niu Dazhuang went to work.

During lunch, Bai Hongyan called me to her office.

"I've gotten you this opportunity. Come to my house again tonight and do your best."

Niu Dazhuang was a little unhappy: "No, I'm not going. I've already said what I need to do."

Bai Hongyan took Niu Dazhuang's hand and placed it on her own...

"This is the last time. For the sake of the three of us, no, four of us, and there's another one in my belly, please bear with it a little longer."

Helping them will benefit us too. You want to go to Hong Kong Island, right? Let my dad get you a legal identity; that way I'll feel at ease.

Niu Dazhuang is a stubborn mule, and Bai Hongyan is very good at seeing that. As long as she says a few sweet words, she can easily win him over!

"I give up. Fine, I'll go. Stop teasing me, you're never going to get anything good out of this."

"Be gentle, it's okay!"

"Let's forget about it!"
