Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Last night, Jia Dongxu was tormented, and the entire Zhongyuan Courtyard was filled with an atmosphere of debauchery.

His mother, Jia Zhangshi, was cursing and stuffing cotton into her ears, clearly having been badly scolded.

Jia Dongxu followed suit and stuffed cotton balls into his ears before he could fall asleep.

In the morning, Jia Dongxu was woken up by his mother, who made him breakfast and instructed him to coax his daughter-in-law back to the countryside.

I already asked my mentor, Yi Zhonghai, to give me a day off last night.

"Mom, what if we can't coax Tong Jie back?" Jia Dongxu asked, puffing out his cheeks as he ate a steamed bun.

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia snorted coldly:

"Hmph, if you can't win her back, you'll lose your wife, your son will have to change his surname, and if Tong Jie remarries, our Banggeng will have to call her 'Dad'!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu became extremely nervous and quickly responded:

"No, Mom, I'm determined to bring her back. I'll beg you to bring her and the two of them back."

"Well... that's settled then. Be nice to your father-in-law when you get there, and buy him some things. As for what to buy, you can decide for yourself." After giving these instructions, Madam Jia didn't say anything more.

She felt that if her son went to Changping, she could bring him back if she treated him better.

There was no conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so Tong Jie wouldn't have been so angry as to want a divorce. She was just saying those things in anger.

In the countryside, do you know how divorced women manage with their children?

They would be drowned in all sorts of rumors from the countryside.

Even Tong Jie's parents didn't want her to get a divorce; they thought a little fuss would be enough, and a scolding would be enough if the man was disobedient.

After spending the day at home, Tong Jie understood that her mother had taught her a lot, but she still had to continue living with Jia Dongxu.

But one thing is very important: you must keep control of the family finances, so that you will have a way to deal with her if she tries to cause trouble in the future.

Anyway, Tong Jie has matured a lot after returning to her parents' home, and she won't be easily coaxed into opening her heart by Jia Dongxu anymore.

Jia Dongxu bought a lot of things at the market in the city, including 30 jin of high-quality pork belly and a pork knuckle.

We bought quite a lot of peanut candy, but now is not the time to worry about money. The important thing is to bring my wife and son home as soon as possible.

After arriving at his father-in-law's house, Jia Dongxu kept apologizing to Tong Jie, and it took a lot of persuasion to convince her to go back to the city with him.

When Tong Jie returned to the courtyard, she was warmly welcomed by a group of elderly women.

We're all in the same boat, why should we need to have known each other before? Tong Jie did something that these old women wouldn't dare to do, which greatly boosted her reputation.

Tong Jie could angrily take her son back to her parents' home, but what about them? Many women don't even have a parents' home.

For example, where did Yi Zhonghai's wife go back to?

Could it be that he should go back to serve the deaf old lady?

What's the difference between that and not leaving at all?

The other older women were the same; each had their own troubles.

As long as life goes on, some things can be endured.

If things really escalate and the family falls apart, they'll be in a real bind.

On the afternoon of the day Tong Jie returned, a group of old women held a small meeting in the front yard.

They even threatened that if their men dared to mess around outside, they wouldn't blame them for being ruthless.

If you dare to go to a brothel, I'll go and have an affair, have a child, and then I'll call you Dad!

Hey, aren't you angry?

A group of old women were speaking very loudly, and they didn't intend to hide it from anyone at all. They just said it so openly, maybe on purpose.

When the men returned that evening and heard about what had happened, they were terrified and quickly pledged their loyalty.

They wouldn't allow themselves to be cuckolded; it's the greatest shame a man can bear, bar none.

In the backyard of the Liu family, Liu Haizhong felt his authority as the head of the family had been challenged after hearing these words.

After drinking some alcohol, his anger flared up even more, and he waved at the two children who had finished eating.

Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian immediately understood and got up to leave.

After the child left, Liu Haizhong said to his wife in a questioning tone:

"Wang Guilian, what kind of nonsense were you spouting with those old women? How could you say such things? This...this is outrageous!"

Wang Guilian was eating her meal when she was suddenly confronted with these questions, and naturally, she retorted:

"Liu Haizhong, you were the first to be disloyal to me. Now, with new people, new things, and a new country, the leader has said that everyone is equal."

"What, you want to restore the monarchy? You want multiple wives and concubines? Go ahead and do it if you dare, I won't stop you."

"You...you stinking woman~" Liu Haizhong was so angry that he could barely utter a few complete sentences while pointing at Wang Guilian.

"Oh my, you called me 'sweetheart' when you married me, but now you call me 'old woman.' Liu Haizhong, you're really something." Wang Guilian mocked Liu Haizhong in a sarcastic tone.

Liu Haizhong chickened out; unusually, he didn't want to argue with his wife, so he silently drank.

Seeing this, Wang Guilian's lips curled up slightly. She knew she had to teach him a lesson today, so she said again:

"Let me tell you, if I find out you're going to brothels or seeing other women again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I'll sneak out and find a lover then. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere."

"After I find someone, I'll secretly have a baby. I've already thought of a name for him: Liu Guanghong."

"I've gathered all the blessings you could need, don't worry, the kids will still call you Dad!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling a tightness in his chest.

Seeing this, Wang Guilian stepped forward to pat him on the back and help him catch his breath.

"Oh, honey, as long as you know to live an honest life with me from now on, I won't take what I just said seriously."

At this moment, Liu Haizhong also caught his breath: "I understand, wife. From now on, let's live a good life together and not think about those other things."

Wang Guilian smiled with satisfaction:

"That's right, eat up. I'll get you another steamed bun. After you finish eating, wash up and go back to your room to rest early."

"If you're not my wife, what do you want?" Liu Hai felt a bad premonition.

"You rascal~ Don't you know what I'm planning? The medicinal effects of yesterday's braised mutton haven't worn off yet, we can't waste it."

"Eat quickly, I'll go wash up first..."

After Wang Guilian finished speaking, she turned around and went to the kitchen.

Liu Haizhong stared blankly at his wife's retreating figure, feeling a dull ache in his lower back. "Damn it," he thought, "what the hell is going on..."

This didn't just happen in Liu Haizhong's family; other men were also threatened by their wives.

Faced with the threat of being cuckolded, would they dare disobey?

Sometimes, the pleasure between couples can be coerced; who says it has to be consensual?

Li Jiuzhou was quite content. His wife was pregnant, three months along, and not only was Bingbing eager to get pregnant, but he himself was also starting to feel restless.

During her pregnancy, Bingbing exuded a beauty unlike any other, and she had gained a lot of weight, becoming much fuller. The more she did this, the more Li Jiuzhou loved her.

I have to talk to her for a long time before bed, which makes both of us very irritable!
