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

The pain all over my body felt so real, just like the feeling on my wedding night. There was no faking it.

But I'm already a woman who's given birth, how can I still...?

For a moment, Qin Huairu didn't know what was going on either.

"Sis, I'm talking to you, why are you spacing out? You haven't seen your husband for just one night, and you're already missing him, are you?"

"You brat, you've only just gotten married and you've already become so shameless. Are you alright going back to your parents' home today?" Qin Huairu asked tentatively.

"What could possibly be wrong with me? But, sister, I need to learn from your experience. My sister-in-law told me this before she got married..."

"No sister-in-law is as close as my cousin," Qin Xueru said, throwing all the questions she had planned to ask her sister-in-law at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu laughed and scolded, "You're so shameless! How could you ask such a question!"

Qin Xueru shifted her body, hugged her cousin's neck, and said coquettishly, "Sister, I had no choice. You've been through this before, right? I was thinking of going back to my parents' house to ask my sister-in-law, but I felt closer to you, so I asked you. Please don't laugh at me!"

Seeing that her cousin had said that, Qin Huairu stopped teasing her and said seriously, "I haven't encountered this situation either, but as someone who's been through it, I can help you analyze it. The question you raised was a bit blunt, so don't overthink it!"

"Good sister, you're helping me, how can I overthink it? Just ask!"

……

After only two questions, Qin Xueru's face flushed red, like a ripe apple.

He answered in a low voice, "It was pitch black that night, and no one saw anything!"

Qin Huairu said seriously, "Based on what you just said, I estimate that the problem most likely lies with your husband."

At this moment, Qin Huairu thought about her own situation and was most likely certain that Liu Dazhuang was behind the trouble last night. But she couldn't tell Xueru, so she had no choice but to keep quiet. She'd just treat it as a dream; at least no one else benefited!

"Oh! Sis, what should I do next?" Qin Xueru asked, blinking her big eyes.

"What can you do? Of course, you'll practice more in the future. Don't go to work before the New Year. I think your man is quite considerate of you! He shouldn't have any objections if you don't go to work before the New Year!"

Speaking of her husband, Qin Xueru said happily, "He said he'll support me from now on, and I won't need to earn work points!"

"It's fine now that you're married, but what about in a couple of years, when you have kids? Will one of you be able to make a living earning work points?"

"I'm quite content that he has this intention. Once I've settled in, I really won't stop working, right?"

The two sisters chatted intimately for a while until Niu Dazhuang returned from outside, and then they got off the kang (a heated brick bed).

Qin Huairu, being an experienced woman, endured her discomfort, while Qin Xueru remained oblivious to the signs of trouble. After all, Qin Xueru had only been married for three days and was still relatively inexperienced.

Try it with any woman who has been married for many years, and she would definitely see Qin Huairu's embarrassment at a glance.

The three of them ate a bite of breakfast, and Niu Dazhuang carried more than ten kilograms of millet on his back before they set off.

Niujiazhuang is not exactly close to Qinjiawa. Taking the Dongsha River beach is a bit of a detour, so we took the mountain road and crossed two mountain ridges to reach Qinjiawa.

To get into the mountains from Changping, Qinjiawa is even further away than Niujiazhuang.

Walking on mountain paths inevitably involves bending over, and Niu Dazhuang, behind the two sisters, admired their beautiful backs.

Niu Dazhuang was secretly pleased with himself, thinking that his wife was just as good as Qin Huairu in terms of figure.

"Dazhuang, where did you go this early?" The three chatted as they walked.

"We brought all the New Year's goods back last night, so we have to report to the team leader! Sister, come visit sometime. It's getting boring having Xue Ru home alone all by herself." Niu Dazhuang extended the invitation.

Qin Huairu thought to herself, "You big bad guy, you're really good at pretending. How did you manage to trick me into coming here so you could take advantage of me?"

That's what I was thinking, but I couldn't say it out loud: "I won't come over and disturb your time together." I said I was welcome to come over, but I don't know what I was really thinking!

Also, stop calling me "her sister" all the time. It sounds awkward to me. Either you call me "sister" like Xue Ru does, or you just call me by my name!

"Okay, Auntie!" Niu Dazhuang deliberately didn't go along with her wishes.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you? Do whatever you want!" Qin Huairu was too lazy to argue with him anymore.

"Sis, don't be fooled by his honest appearance; he's full of bad intentions."

"I don't care, but you should be careful not to be fooled by him. Be more cautious in the future!"

"Comrade Qin Huairu, is it appropriate for you to say such things? Trying to sow discord between my husband and me right in front of me!"

"My sister is doing this for my own good. I'll have to be more careful around you from now on, or I'll end up helping you count the money after you've sold me out!"

"You're mine now, don't you think it's a little too late?"

"What's too late? Our life together has just begun, and we have a long way to go! Sister, if you go back to your parents' home now, are you even coming back on the third day of the Lunar New Year?"

"I'm staying at my parents' house for a long time this time, so I plan to spend the Lunar New Year there. Your brother-in-law will pick me up on the third day of the Lunar New Year."

"Great, sis! Anyway, boss, you can come and keep me company in a few days."

Qin Huairu didn't know what she was thinking about her brother-in-law. He wasn't bad-looking, tall and strong, and sly.

How could this person be so bold as to do that on the first meeting? He must have known I wouldn't dare to make a scene. Thinking of this, Qin Huairu was so angry that her teeth itched, but she couldn't do anything about it.

But then I thought about the feeling of my heart soaring to the sky last night, and my anger lessened a bit.

Qin Xueru noticed that she seemed distracted and asked with concern, "Sister, did you and your husband have a fight? Why are you always so absent-minded?"

"No, I just miss my child a little." Having no other choice, she had to use her child as an excuse.

"I think your brother-in-law wouldn't want to bully you either. Little Banggen is being taken care of by his own grandmother, so what are you worried about? Now that you're here, just stay at your parents' house."

Qin Huairu felt uneasy when she thought of her sister-in-law. When a married daughter stays at her parents' home for a few days, her sister-in-law must say something else. But this time, she stayed for more than twenty days. In these days, no one has enough food.

Qin Xueru noticed her worry and comforted her, "Sister, why don't you stay at your uncle's house for a few days? If your sister-in-law is unhappy, you can come home, right, Dazhuang?"

Qin Xueru didn't dare to take on everything herself and had to consult her husband's opinion.

"Since you've said that, what can I say? Auntie, didn't I just say you're welcome? Stay here and don't worry, I promise you won't go hungry!"

At this moment, Qin Huairu felt warm inside, and the unpleasantness she had felt earlier had vanished. Looking back at Niu Dazhuang, she not only no longer disliked him, but even found him somewhat pleasing to the eye.
