The Beginning of a Courtyard House: Sixty Years of Internal Strength

My own wife is beautiful enough, but I never expected Li Jianguo's to be even more beautiful.

"Dongxu, my wife will be in the hospital from now on. Please take good care of her."

It was only then that Jia Dongxu realized what was happening.

"Great! Jian Guo, when are you getting married? We'll definitely have to have a couple of drinks then."

Jia Dongxu was filled with jealousy and was determined to get Li Jianguo drunk.

"I'm a bit short on cash, so I won't do it. After all, the country also advocates thrift and frugality."

Li Jianguo gave Jia Dongxu a handful of candy, but unexpectedly, Jia Zhangshi didn't cause any trouble.

This is different from what I remember. It seems that my son is still alive, so I've become more restrained.

Li Jianguo, with his keen ears, overheard Jia Zhangshi muttering curses at him. It seemed he had to teach the old hag a lesson.

They went to Yi Zhonghai's house again and knocked on the door. In fact, Yi Zhonghai had already seen them through the window.

But he still pretended to be serious.

"Jianguo, what's up?"

"Oh, Master Yi, this is my wife, Wang Yao. When she's in the hospital, take her to meet people."

As she spoke, she grabbed a handful of candy from Yi Zhonghai.

"Oh, okay, look how pretty this girl is, she's a perfect match for you. Live a good life after the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"Okay, thank you, Master Yi. I'll take him to meet the other people first."

"Alright, go ahead."

When they arrived at Sha Zhu's house, they knocked on the door. Sha Zhu opened the door and was stunned when he saw Wang Yao, revealing a lovesick expression.

Sha Zhu really didn't expect that Li Jianguo's wives would be so beautiful.

Li Jianguo had to cough once before Sha Zhu finally realized what was happening.

"Brother Jianguo, is this your wife? She's really beautiful. Do you have any younger sisters? Could you introduce me to them?"

"Alright, Zhuzi, you're not old enough yet. My wife doesn't have a younger sister. Let's talk about it when you're old enough."

I'll have your sister-in-law introduce you to someone then.

After saying that, he handed a handful of candy to He Yushui next to him, just in case that Sha Zhu would turn around and give the candy to Qin Huairu.

Li Jianguo then took Yao Yao to the backyard and went to Xu Damao's house first.

They happened to run into Xu's mother. "Aunt Xu, this is my daughter-in-law, Wang Yao. We've already gotten married and registered our marriage. We'll be living in the courtyard from now on. I hope you'll take good care of us."

"Jianguo, you're something else! This girl is really pretty. Okay, feel free to come chat with me anytime you're free." Aunt Xu looked at the two of them with a smile.

Li Jianguo also handed over a handful of candy. "Okay, thank you for your help."

After saying that, she turned around and went to Liu Haizhong's house to knock on the door.

"Jianguo, that's not right of you. When did you get married? Why didn't you tell me?"

Liu Haizhong came out with a big pregnant belly, looking like she was lecturing someone.

Li Jianguo was speechless. What does this have to do with you? Why would I need to tell you?

Li Jianguo became quite blunt, "What do you mean, Master Liu? You're going to pay for my wedding?"

"Why should I be the one paying for your wedding? Go ask your dad, it has nothing to do with me."

"Yeah, we have absolutely no relationship. When I get married or who I marry is none of your business."

Li Jianguo didn't even give her any candy before going straight to the old lady's house.

"You, you, you." Liu Haizhong behind him was so angry that he couldn't utter a single word.

The old lady was sunbathing at the door, listening to the entire conversation between Liu Haizhong, and laughed heartily.

"Grandma, I'm married now. I'm taking my wife for a walk around the yard."

He then gave the old lady a handful of candy.

"Great job, Jianguo! You found a really good wife. She'll definitely give birth to a big, healthy son in a couple of years."

Yao Yao blushed immediately upon hearing this.

"Then I'll take your kind words."

"I'm an old lady living alone, and I don't have much to do most of the time. Jianguo's wife, please come over and visit whenever you have time."

The old lady looked at Wang Yao with a kind expression.

"Okay, ma'am, I'll come when I have time," Wang Yao replied politely.

Li Jianguo felt nauseous upon hearing this. "Damn it, is this cunning old woman planning to trick Lou Xiao'e like she did?"

Is he planning to scheme to get his wife into marrying Sha Zhu?

Upon thinking of this, Li Jianguo's face immediately darkened, and he said something.

"Grandma, we have to go now."

He led Yao Yao directly to the front yard, but his attention was focused on the old lady.

The old lady's face immediately darkened, and she began to mutter under her breath.

"You ungrateful brat, just wait and see how I introduce your wife to that lazy grandson. You'll be crying your eyes out then, and you still dare to give me attitude."

Li Jianguo was furious when he heard the old lady's malicious words.

Damn, no way, I have to teach her a lesson.

We must paralyze his wife, make her bedridden, and see if that old, childless Yi Zhonghai will still serve her.

Li Jianguo walked along the road, giving Wang Yao instructions.

I should avoid contact with this old lady in the future; she's no good.

She used to be a concubine of a remnant of the Manchu dynasty, but she couldn't compete with the first wife. She was drugged and left without a child, so she was kicked out.

The family who fled to Hong Kong didn't take her with them; she was abandoned here.

"Okay, Brother Jianguo, I understand."

After Yao Yao fell asleep that night, Li Jianguo listened carefully to the sounds in the yard until everyone was sound asleep.

He then began his operation, sneaking into the old lady's house.

Seeing the sleeping old lady, they gave her a complete paralysis treatment.

First, he pressed the acupoint for sedation, then injected a burst of internal energy. This time, Li Jianguo didn't want to wait that long, so he let the internal energy lie dormant for two months.

Two months later, the old lady will be paralyzed from the neck down, and then she will be forced to lie on the bed and wet the bed.

Let's see if Yi Zhonghai will still be able to serve the deaf old lady; he'll probably be eaten alive by then.

Let this old man have designs on his own wife; he can't let her die too easily, he has to make her suffer.

Li Jianguo closed the door and used his internal force to lock it again.

I went straight home and fell asleep holding my sweet-smelling baby, Yao Yao.

He lived a carefree life, pretending to take Yao Yao shopping every day.

Actually, they found a secluded corner, entered the space, and lived a shameless life. Once they got used to it, Yao Yao also liked it. But she was too inexperienced and couldn't last long.

"Yaoyao, I'll teach you to read slowly first, and then I'll teach you martial arts, okay?"

Li Jianguo wanted to teach Yao Yao the Lesser Formless Skill, since the martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect all had a beautifying effect.

I have no idea how beautiful she would look with beauty filters.

"Really? Brother Jianguo, you're going to teach me martial arts, like the way you fly around?"

"Of course, my martial arts can keep you young forever. Once you have internal energy, you won't grow old."

Li Jianguo was tempting Yao Yao, after all, every woman cares a lot about her appearance.

"Brother Jianguo, that's great! Let's start learning right away!"

Li Jianguo then took out a book and began teaching Yao Yao to read.
