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

"Oh! I had no choice in the past. I promise, from now on I will only be your woman, big brother, and stay at home to be a good wife and mother."

"I believe you! Women your age are like a book. If no one reads it, then the book is not attractive and not good."

If a book is read too many times, even if it's a good book, it can still become a bad one. As for bad books, I'll just skim through them; I won't keep them at home!

You've moved on from the past, so please don't bring it up again.

Lin Ajiao blinked shyly, "Could you help me wash up? I'm covered in sweat and feel sticky and uncomfortable!"

Another round of affectionate moments ensued in the bathroom...

Finally, Niu Dazhuang carried the person to the bed, covered him with a coat, and went downstairs to call Zhao Baishe.

Truckloads of daily necessities were delivered in the afternoon...

The standard feature of townhouses is that each family has a Filipino maid. With payment for childcare, after dinner, Niu Dazhuang took the beautiful Guan to the detached villa on the mountaintop.

When Lin, the beautiful woman, saw that he had brought Jia Hui along, she knew what he was thinking. Over the years, she had only occasionally played Dou Dizhu (a card game) with her aunt.

With a stranger suddenly arriving tonight, the beautiful Lin is actually a little reserved.

Compared to Lin's shy and hesitant demeanor, Jia Hui appeared quite excited...

To avoid embarrassment later, the beautiful Lin drank a few bottles of beer, her cheeks flushed...

I often recall the sunset at the stream pavilion, so intoxicated that I forgot the way home.

When the fun is over, return by boat late; do not venture into the depths of the lotus blossoms.

Struggling to cross, struggling to cross, startling a flock of gulls and egrets...

That's just how people are; once they've made a breakthrough the first time, the second time becomes much easier.

If everyone knows how to do 1 plus 1 equals 2, who cares what kind of '1' it is? If you've learned 1+1+1, how far away can 1+2+3 be?

Ah! This is exactly the situation Niu Dazhuang wanted to see...

"Big brother, you're already this awesome now, you must be incredibly cool in your twenties!"

To Niu Dazhuang's surprise, Lin Ajiao, once they got to know each other, often used foul language, which was in stark contrast to her quiet temperament.

Men love hearing this kind of talk, so he patted her buttocks with a grin and said, "Haha, I've always been fierce."

In a few days I'll be heading north. You all know best what I can't tolerate, so I won't go into details. Jia Hui, you're coming with me.

Given Guan Da Mei's strong desire for beauty, Niu Da Zhuang was worried about her and had no choice but to take her with him.

On their way north, Niu Dazhuang gave Lin Ajiao a gold bank card. This time, instead of taking the old-fashioned green train, they boarded a commercial airliner.

It's short and doesn't cause any suffering.

First, they arranged for the beautiful woman to stay at the Yanjing Hotel on Chang'an Avenue.

"Where do my mommy and aunt live? Can you take me to see them?" After those ten days of discipline, Guan Meinu is much more sensible now.

"They live right next door to you, but they're probably at the factory now, or maybe they've gone somewhere else."

Guan Meimei grabbed Niu Dazhuang's arm: "Can I go home with you and stay there?"

"It's alright now. It's not that I don't want to take you home to live, it's just that I'm worried you won't be used to living in a traditional courtyard house in the north during the winter!"

"It's okay, I can manage. I don't want to leave you for a second!" she said, shaking Niu Dazhuang's arm. Guan Meinu was a quick learner; she had seen how effective Lin Ajiao's way of speaking was when she was in Hong Kong, and she had picked it up.

"Alright, let's go!"

Niu Dazhuang brought the beautiful Guan back to Niujia Hutong. Qin Xueru and the others knew this day would come, so they didn't react much.

Niu Dazhuang's eldest daughter, who was also Qin Ningru's first child, was Niu Hexi.

"Dad, this is too much! You brought me back a stepmother who's two years younger than me. Have you two slept together?"

Even the usually thick-skinned Niu Dazhuang blushed when his eldest daughter asked him, "The last one, the last one."

"I'm asking you, did you two sleep together?" Niu Hexi's voice rose a few decibels.

"Why are you asking this? Are you suggesting I return it just because we didn't sleep together?"

"Going back is impossible. Once a woman from another family enters our household, there's no reason to turn her back. If you haven't slept together, I think she's quite pretty. You can introduce her to my son, Chengzhi!"

"Holy crap, you're such a grown woman, how can you act without thinking?! Hurry up and leave, you're driving me crazy!"

"Even if it infuriates you, I have to say this: you can't be so selfish. Because of you, none of us siblings have been able to get married smoothly."

"And you, not only do you not care at all, but you even brought us back such a young stepmother. Have you considered how your children feel?"

"Hey, were you switched at birth? Your mom is such a gentle person, you're more like your Aunt Yueru!"

"Don't interrupt, just tell me, how do you plan to resolve this?"

Niu Dazhuang was completely helpless with his eldest daughter. If he had a son instead, he would beat him to death.

Niu Hexi noticed that the boss's face kept changing color, sometimes red and sometimes white.

"What, you want to hit me now? Go ahead and hit me!"

"I... I'll take them away, okay?"

"Take her away if you want, but don't bring this kind of woman home again. My mom and the others can tolerate her, but we can't."

"I already agreed, why aren't you leaving? Are you short of money?"

He tide didn't say anything, but glanced at Guan Meinu, who was always by Niu Dazhuang's side.

"Ah Hui, go to the west room and take a look at some rare and ancient books I've collected!"

This time, Guan Meinu really became the wronged wife. In front of her, Niu Hexi said that her family couldn't tolerate her, and Guan Meinu had no choice but to accept it, since Niu Hexi was Niu Dazhuang's own daughter.

Think about it. I used to talk to Niu Dazhuang with the same attitude, but I was disciplined by the family for more than ten days and became obedient. Look at Niu Hexi, her tone and attitude when talking to Niu Dazhuang, it must have been for more than just a day, but she is still the same.

He went to the west room hesitantly.

He tide rolled her eyes at her, laughing and muttering, "Women in capitalist societies are just no good, all they think about is being lazy and clinging to powerful figures."

"My dear daughter, that's enough. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Your second son cracked someone's skull open, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"Smashing someone's head was definitely a bit much. I'll talk to him about it later, so he'll have some backup in case of future fights. Is that all?"

Niu Hexi became coy again.

Niu Dazhuang realized that this must involve matters between men and women, otherwise his eldest daughter wouldn't be so coy.

"If it's inconvenient to talk to me, then talk to your mom."

"I've already talked to Mom, and she said she'll wait for you to come back so we can discuss it together."

"Then let me discuss it with your mother first!"

"No way! Don't you always teach us that we should take responsibility for our own happiness?"

"Why doesn't your mom agree?"
