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

Like a mischievous little cat, Chen Xueru rested her head on Niu Dazhuang's chest. She wanted to draw circles on his chest with her hand, but her physical condition wouldn't allow it. She was too weak to even lift her eyelids, let alone raise her hand.

She said weakly, "Little brother, you have no sense of chivalry at all! Are you trying to torture your older sister to death?"

Niu Dazhuang took a drag of his cigarette. "Short time, heavy task, there's no other way."

"What, you're leaving again tonight?"

"Well, there are women waiting for me," Niu Dazhuang said ambiguously.

"How disgusting! Lying on my bed, thinking about other women, you really don't value me at all!"

"Hehe, don't get the wrong idea, it's exactly right."

"Hmph! I can't be bothered with you. Don't come next week. Let Duoduo rest for a few days. If you cause her trouble again, she'll definitely be exhausted."

"You are as smart as my wife, Xue Ru."

"Oh, I thought you were joking before. Is your wife really named Xue Ru? How come she's so smart?"

"You two should meet sometime!"

Chen Xueru, feeling guilty, looked up at Niu Dazhuang with disbelief: "Really? Aren't you afraid she'll scratch your face?"

"You have to admit my Xueru is smart. She knows her limits, isn't jealous, and doesn't even complain about not being able to buy me a maid!"

Chen Xueru was such a clever woman; she immediately understood Niu Dazhuang's implied meaning.

Unable to lift her hands, but still able to use her mouth, she bit Niu Dazhuang hard in the chest, leaving teeth marks.

She pouted and said, "Hmph, what a pipe dream! I don't even dare to dream of stepping into their house, and I'm not as generous as they are. Come if you want, don't come if you don't want to. With just a snap of my fingers, plenty of men will want to climb into my bed!"

"Damn it! Still not convinced, huh? Still thinking about seducing other men? Time for some serious discipline..."

When Niu Dazhuang left, Chen Xueru was still fast asleep. She didn't get out of bed until noon the next day.

My whole body felt like it was falling apart.

Seeing her like this, Aunt Zhang whispered a reminder: "The noise last night was a bit too frightening. It's not good for your health."

Chen Xueru sat lazily on the sofa and said helplessly, "You think I don't know? Make me more soup these next few days. Go ahead and do your work!"

Three days later, after work, Niu Dazhuang took a copy of the day's evening newspaper, a pound of pig's head meat, five large steamed buns, and a pound of Erguotou liquor. He went straight to the Yonghe Temple without going home.

The hemp rope binding Lin Yongmei had been replaced with strips of cloth. She was simply being helped up by having her hands behind her back.

He loosened the cloth strips and handed her the newspaper: "Alright, I won't tie you up anymore from today. As long as you don't go out, you can move around freely in the yard."

Lin Yongmei looked down at the newspaper, where the headline read: "The enemy's desire to forget us will never die..."

Lin Yongmei's face grew increasingly grim as she read faster. After quickly finishing reading, she understood why Niu Dazhuang allowed her to move around in the yard and wasn't afraid of her running away.

Adjusting her mindset, she said obsequiously, "Master, I'm yours from now on. I swear to God, I will be absolutely loyal to you alone..."

"Stop, stop with the empty words. I don't believe in oaths. Let's see your actions."

Lin Yongmei quickly walked behind Niu Dazhuang, placed her nimble little hand on his shoulder, and said in a soft and charming voice, "Master, you bring me food every day, you must be tired. Let me give you a massage."

Niu Dazhuang's smug lips curled up as he reached out and touched her small hand, saying with satisfaction, "That's right. From now on, you're mine. If you behave well, I can help you go to Hong Kong Island..."

Half an hour later

Lin Yongmei, panting, said, "Master, if you had done this earlier, I would have submitted to you long ago. I'm a normal woman too."

"I'll give you a taste of what's to come, but things won't be so easy from here on out."

The next day was Sunday, and the red candles... everything was ready.

From morning until sunset, Niu Dazhuang kept his word and didn't touch her even once, not even when she begged or pleaded.

Haha ...

The project changed again on Monday, and Niu Dazhuang brought his little cloth bag again...

On Tuesday, Niu Dazhuang brought a set of folding picture books, the kind that women keep hidden away in their trunks.

Wednesday, two books: "The Monk with the Lampwick" and "Jade Pot Spring Pavilion".

For half a month, he didn't touch Lin Yongmei even a hair, until the second day of the second lunar month. Niu Dazhuang was going on a business trip.

At this moment, Lin Yongmei's eyes were filled with lust. When she saw Niu Dazhuang arrive, she couldn't wait to pounce on him...

She pleaded, "Master, Master, give it to me! Please stop torturing me! I can't take it anymore..."

Niu Dazhuang wasn't in a hurry. He lifted her chin with his hand and asked, "Did you read the book I told you to read?"

Lin Yongmei quickly nodded: "I watched it and learned it."

"Hmm, not bad, you know both answers now. Who am I?"

"You are my master!" Niu Dazhuang would ask this question repeatedly every time he came.

Niu Dazhuang was holding a calligraphy brush in his hand...

After disciplining Lin Yongmei, it was getting late. Back home, Qin Xueru was displeased: "You're really something! It's one thing to be out partying all the time, but you're going out tomorrow and you're still not behaving yourself. My sister's pregnant, you know that?"

Niu Dazhuang was taken aback: "Mine?"

"How could you say that? My sister would be so heartbroken if she heard that!"

"No way, why haven't you made a move yet?"

"I'm just not sure, my period hasn't come this month either. I should be sure when you get back from your business trip."

"Hehe, your man is really capable! I'm not saying I don't admit it, it's just that happiness came too suddenly."

"I know what you're thinking. My sister is confused too; she's not sure either."

"Haha... I don't care." Niu Dazhuang thought to himself, if the child is still Xiaodang, then it definitely won't be mine.

"Even if you want to care, your brother-in-law won't agree. I just wanted to tell you that if I get pregnant too, I'll call my younger sister over. You don't mind, do you?"

"No objection," Niu Dazhuang said cheekily.

Qin Xueru punched him lightly: "What are you thinking? If we were back in our hometown, I would have wanted to grant your wish, but now that we're in the city, and you're not behaving yourself, I don't have that idea anymore."

If I get pregnant, it will definitely be very inconvenient. Having my sister come over is for cooking and helping me with chores. I'm warning you, don't get any funny ideas.

"Oh, my dear Xue Ru, you wouldn't be so cruel, would you!"

"Come on, do you think I don't know anything about what you've been up to outside? You want my sister back? Fine, but you'd better shut up all that messing around outside."

"You've already eaten your fill at home, how can you go out and look for wild food?"

"Just Ningru, I can eat my fill, are you sure?"

Qin Xueru's almond-shaped eyes widened: "You're really insatiable! Why don't you call Yueru over too?"

"If Yue Ru is willing, I have no objection."

Qin Xueru grabbed the broom handle and started...
