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

"The kids didn't just see you riding it; they bought it this time."

"Yu Haitang, haven't I said before that we shouldn't let the kids ride motorcycles? Don't you have the money to buy them cars?"

"It's not that we don't have them, but the alleys around here are too narrow. If we bought a car, there would be nowhere to park it, and we couldn't drive it in. It's more about motorcycles."

Niu Dazhuang lost his patience: "Then let's find a yard big enough for a car to fit in. If you don't want your son to die in a car accident, then do as I say right now."

Upon hearing this, Yu Li and Yu Haitang immediately understood what was going on. Especially Yu Haitang, as a mother, she knew her son's character best.

Neither woman said anything.

"You two brothers should go and call your eldest sister and her family over as well."

Yu Lisheng's eldest daughter, Niu Hewei, has been married for several years and has a child.

Niu Hewei took over Yu Li's job and now works at the transportation company, which is the company that Niu Dazhuang co-founded.

Niu Dazhuang was speechless at the two sisters, Yu Li and Yu Haitang. They were too sexist, and each of them must have several hundred thousand yuan in their hands now.

The courtyard for my son's wedding has been prepared, and it's not just one set.

As for my two daughters, giving them some pocket money each month is fine, but providing them with a house as a dowry is absolutely out of the question.

Niu Dazhuang had only talked about it before; he hadn't really taken it seriously. He always thought that since both parents worked, and with a little help from his wife's family, they should be better off than the average person.

After seeing the second room where He Wei lives today, Niu Dazhuang changed his mind. He decided that at the very least, he would buy the young couple a courtyard house.

Since we no longer live with my in-laws, there are fewer problems. If I bought something for the second daughter, I should also buy something for the eldest daughter, which is why I sent my son to call the eldest daughter and her husband.

"Chen Dong, go to the nearby clinic and get some medicine applied, so you don't leave a scar."

"Dad, it's alright, just apply some erythromycin ointment."

"Xiaowei, you need to change your temper. Every couple has disagreements, but you can't smash pots and pans when you have a disagreement. Also, you're not allowed to scratch my face anymore."

"Dad, whose real father are you anyway? Why do you always criticize me? Look, my face is still swollen."

"I saw it a long time ago. You must have started it again. And Chen Dong definitely didn't slap you in the face!"

Niu Heran remained silent.

Niu Dazhuang knew without asking why the fight had happened.

"Is Xiaoran complaining again that you're giving money to your parents?"

"Dad, how can this be? We're married now, and contributing ten or eight yuan a month is already a lot. He gives almost his entire monthly salary to his mother. How can I not be angry!"

"Isn't your own salary, plus the money your mom gives you, enough to cover your expenses?"

"Dad, what you're saying is a bit unreasonable. We're married now and have our own little family. We can't rely on Mom to support us."

Even if I gave his mother half her salary, I wouldn't be this angry.

"Alright, I know. It all comes down to money. I'll talk to you all when your older sister arrives. Go cook, I haven't had lunch yet."

He Ran helped with the cooking. The father-in-law and son-in-law chatted for a while before their eldest daughter, Niu Hewei, and Niu Chengguo arrived first.

"Dad, what's the urgent matter that makes me need to take half a day off? Xiao Guo can't explain it clearly either, he just said you want us to come back."

Niu Dazhuang didn't know why, but seeing his eldest daughter acting so energetically, and feeling distressed about spending half a day's wages, he felt quite uncomfortable.

This eldest daughter is the most sensible and obedient. When she was little, she helped take care of her younger siblings, and when she grew up, she took over Yu Li's job. She also often goes home to visit Yu Li and Yu Haitang.

"Is the child's grandmother helping to take care of him?" Niu Dazhuang asked.

"No, he's been sent to daycare. His grandmother isn't in good health."

"Have some water, rest for a bit, dinner will be served soon."

"Hey, Xiao Chen, you've got another scratch?" Niu Hewei teased, noticing the scratches on her brother-in-law's face.

"Big sister, you two chat, I'll go check on the kitchen." Embarrassed, Chen Dong couldn't stay in the house any longer.

"Don't you hate us?" Niu Dazhuang suddenly asked.

"What do I hate about you? Dad, what's wrong with you today?"

"Hey! In a few days I'll take your brother Chengguo to Damao for a few days. In the meantime, you two sisters should go find a courtyard. I didn't take care of things when you got married, but I'll make up for it now. Also, if you want to do business, I'll fully support you."

"Dad, you can just buy a courtyard house for my second sister. I don't need it. I've taken over Mom's job, and I'm already very content."

"Xiao Ran's job isn't bad right now. She doesn't want to do business; she's happy with her regular job. That's settled then."

"Will my mom agree?"

"I'll pay for it, without her consent. She's always thinking of leaving everything for your brother."

"Dad, you just said you were taking Chengguo to Da Mao's place, does that mean you're leaving him there?"

"Yes, that's a plan. If I don't take care of Cheng Guo, his life is ruined."

"It's time to take action. What about Xiaojun?"

"As for him, we'll see how he performs. If he doesn't perform well, we'll send him to Sakhalin Island too."

"Oh, I see. He's not under any employer's supervision right now..."

"Let Xiaojun help your mom and the others run the hot pot restaurant. It's time for him to share some of the burden. Don't worry about your two younger brothers; I know what I'm doing."

It's already May, perfect for eating out. The food is all set out, and Niu Chengjun and He Wei's partner has arrived as well.

"Dad! I already told you, we have all kinds of good wine at home, but my brother-in-law still insisted on buying more."

"Hehe, this is for my parents," Niu Hewei's husband, Zhao Yongtian, said in a simple and honest manner.

"I appreciate your kind gesture, please do it."

A large round table was packed with people; there was no need for any deliberate arrangement. Yu Li and Yu Haitang sat to Niu Dazhuang's left and right, Yu Heran next to Yu Li, and Yu Hewei next to Yu Haitang, with each man next to his wife.

No matter what the Cheng brothers did, they always stayed close to their brother-in-law.

"Come on, it's been so long since we've all gathered like this, let's have a toast..."

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Niu Dazhuang put down his chopsticks: "Today, I'll start by saying something. In a couple of days, I'll take Chengguo to Da Mao's place. Haitang, that's non-negotiable. Secondly, Xiaowei and Xiaoran, you two should go look at houses these days, houses that are like this home. I'll give each of you one."

Also, if either of my sons-in-law wants to go into business, they can talk to me.

Upon hearing that his brother-in-law and brother had already made arrangements, Niu Chengjun became anxious, crying out, "Dad, Dad, what about me? What about me!"

"Are you worried about having nothing to do? Why don't you work for your mom and aunt first, and learn how to manage a hot pot restaurant?"

Niu Chengjun immediately wilted: "Do we even need to learn this?! Chengguo and I have been inseparable since we were little. Why don't we go to Da Mao too?"

"No, you two brothers have been mischievous together since you were little. This time, you two have to be separated." Niu Dazhuang also had a concern: if he really took both of them with him, they would definitely ostracize the second brother, Niu Chengzhi.
