Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu whispered a reminder: "Mom, if you marry He Daqing, Uncle Yi won't help us anymore."

Zhang Cuihua frowned: "That's true. If I marry He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai won't give us food and money anymore."

Jia Dongxu had been He Daqing's neighbor for many years, so how could he not know that He Daqing was a womanizer and definitely wouldn't be interested in his mother?

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Cuihua abandoned her unrealistic fantasies.

At thirty, one is like a wolf; at forty, like a tiger; at fifty, one can suck up the earth while sitting still.

Zhang Cuihua, who is nearly fifty years old, is at the age where her needs are at their peak.

Zhang Cuihua calculated that it had been a long time since she had gone to the cellar with Yi Zhonghai.

At dusk, a cargo ship of Sanhe Company, carrying equipment of the 5th and 6th series, arrived at Sanhe Wharf in the port city.

For John Bull, the Sanhe Company in the port city was already an open secret.

To save face, John Bull issued 1,000 gun licenses to the Sanhe Company.

If Sanhe Company is not given a gun license, does that mean Sanhe Company will not use guns?

Issuing gun licenses to Sanhe Company would be more beneficial than harmful to John Bull in Hong Kong.

With its employees legally possessing firearms, Sanhe Company is a force to be reckoned with in Hong Kong. Who would dare to provoke Sanhe Company?

If Sanhe Company is denied a gun license, and some force provokes Sanhe Company, it could unleash an invincible demon, with unpredictable consequences.

Having obtained a gun license and possessing firearms and ammunition, Sanhe Company registered and established Sanhe Security Company.

Sanhe Company, which originally had only 1,000 mu of land, has bought another 9,000 mu of land in recent years.

Qi Bing made a phone call, and his mentor Qin Chu in Gangcheng merged Sanhe Wharf, Sanhe Warehousing, Sanhe Transportation Company, Sanhe Commerce and Trade, Sanhe Residential Area, Sanhe Bank, Sanhe Hospital, Sanhe School, and Sanhe Security Company into Sanhe Group.

The employees of Sanhe Company and their families all live in Sanhe Community.

The Sanhe Group, covering an area of ​​10,000 mu, is like a small town. Even John Bull of the port city dares not interfere with the Sanhe Group.

Half a month later, Xu Damao returned to the courtyard house with Yu Li, looking smug.

Upon seeing Yu Li, Yan Bugui seemed to be deep in thought, then feigned ignorance and asked, "Da Mao, what's going on here?"

"Uncle, this is my wife, Yu Li. We just got our marriage certificate."

As soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, he took out a marriage certificate. There were too many monsters and ghosts in the courtyard. Showing the marriage certificate in advance would prevent anyone from gossiping and would also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Yan Jiecheng came out and questioned, "Yu Li, how did you end up marrying Xu Damao?"

Xu Damao feigned anger and asked, "Yan Jiecheng, what do you mean? Yu Li can't marry me?"

Enraged, Yan Jiecheng shouted, "Xu Damao, you, you, you!"

Yang Ruihua said coldly, "Xu Damao, this is very unethical of you. Yu Li just broke off a blind date with my family a while ago."

Xu Damao said matter-of-factly, "Third Aunt, Yu Li's blind date with your Yan Jiecheng didn't work out, did it?"

"Never mind, let's go back." As soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, he beckoned Yang Ruihua and Yan Jiecheng to come inside.

Entering the courtyard and arriving at the He family's door, Xu Damao shouted loudly, "Shazhu, come out and see, it's my wife."

"Silly Mao, I'm better than your current wife."

"Silly Zhu, is your wife prettier than mine?"

"Sha Mao, my wife has a job."

"Silly Zhu, my wife is prettier."

"Silly Mao, my wife brought a brand new 28-inch motorcycle as part of her dowry."

Having gained no advantage in the argument, Xu Damao took Yu Li back to the backyard.

"Da Mao, is this your wife?"

"Second Uncle, this is my wife, Yu Li."

"Da Mao, do you have any wedding candy?"

"Second Uncle, I'll go buy wedding candy tomorrow."

"These are difficult times, so let's skip the banquet and just give out some wedding candies."

"Second Uncle, you have foresight. No wonder you were able to become the director of the forging workshop."

Hearing Xu Damao address him as "Director," Liu Haizhong was secretly pleased, but worried that word would get back to the factory, he quickly reminded him, "Deputy Director, not Director, I am Deputy Director."

"Second Uncle, I have to go home and pack. Let's talk later."

"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy."

Qi Bing, who lived in the east wing next door, was somewhat surprised to hear that Xu Damao had married Yu Li.

"Lou Xiao'e was snatched away by the time traveler Jiang Fan, and Xu Damao failed to become Lou's son-in-law. When Yan Jiecheng was on a blind date, Yu Li was seen by Xu Damao. It's normal for the lecherous Xu Damao to snatch Yu Li away."

"Xu Damao, from a working-class family, is not the son-in-law of capitalist Lou Zhenhua. He is eloquent and capable, and he is likely to be promoted to an official position in the steel rolling mill. As the plot changes, the characters' fates will also change."

Qi Bing, his thoughts wandering, unknowingly entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

Half an hour later, Qi Bing, having completed his epiphany, was extremely excited.

"I never imagined that I would actually grasp the essence of destiny."

Above the realm of artistic conception lies the law; above the law lies the rule.

The various realms of artistic conception are not only divided into five levels—entry, minor achievement, major achievement, peak, and perfection—but also into smaller world-level realms, middle world-level realms, and larger world-level realms...

Both are expressions of the concept of fire, but a minor mastery of the fire concept in the Great Thousand Worlds might be stronger than a perfect mastery of the fire concept in the Lesser Thousand Worlds.

The world in which the courtyard house is located is a microcosm.

The front yard, the Yan family's house.

Yang Ruihua advised, "Jiecheng, stop thinking about Yu Li. Try to get a permanent position as soon as possible. Once you become a full-time electrician, you'll definitely find a wife who's prettier than Yu Li."

Yan Jiecheng protested, "Dad, Mom, Yu Li was clearly my blind date, but she ended up marrying Xu Damao."

Yan Bugui said, "Jiecheng, Yu Li only went on a blind date with you, she wasn't engaged to you, and she certainly didn't marry you. Neither she nor her family agrees, what can we do?"

"Dad, Mom, there are still some empty houses in the yard. We're all getting married sooner or later. You should buy the houses, otherwise we won't have anywhere to live after we get married."

One of the reasons why Yu Li didn't like him was that his family's house wasn't big enough, so Yan Jiecheng wanted his parents to buy a house.

"Jiecheng, isn't your factory supposed to be distributing housing?"

"Dad, Mom, the factory only allocates housing to permanent employees, and there's a waiting list. By the time I become a permanent employee, it's uncertain whether there will still be any vacant houses in the compound. And if the factory allocates me a house, it might not be in this courtyard..."

The thought of his children not living in this courtyard house made Yan Bugui's scalp tingle.

It's not a big deal now, but when they get old and their children aren't around, they might die at home and no one would even know.

Qi Bing made many suggestions, including allowing the sale of houses under certain conditions.

Private buying and selling of houses is not allowed, but it still happens. You can write an IOU, and if you can't repay the money on time, you can use the house as collateral. It's reasonable, legal and justifiable. Can you really stop the transfer of the house?

Some rules and regulations may seem reasonable, but they are actually full of loopholes.

All sorts of rules are set by the strong and made to be followed by the weak.

Having lived two lives, Qi Bing now has the ability to support the kind and simple people, and he is happy to do something meaningful.

The Yan family in the front yard started discussing buying a house in the yard, and the Liu family in the back yard were also discussing buying a house.

Liu Haizhong's family only has three rooms. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu will get married sooner or later, and Liu Guangqi may come back.

In Liu Haizhong and Chen Rong's hearts, their eldest son, Liu Guangqi, will definitely come back in the future.

The house we have isn't big enough, so now that we have some money, it's worth buying a few more houses to have on hand.

The neighbor who wanted to take advantage of the situation wasn't someone who couldn't afford a house; rather, they were waiting for their work unit to allocate them housing.

The rent for the apartments allocated by the work unit is only 0.05 to 0.15 yuan per square meter per month.

If the rent is 0.1 yuan per square meter, a 30-square-meter house would only cost 3 yuan per month. The monthly rent is already low, and the company is responsible for the depreciation, maintenance, and management of the house.
