Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

That is, a spittoon, a double bed, a washbasin, and a thermos.

However, this is not an absolute requirement to have all of them.

However, even in the most difficult times, ordinary families can still manage.

They would also try their best to gather spittoons and washbasins.

Otherwise, the woman will not agree to the marriage.

Even if the woman is willing, her parents will definitely not agree.

Because Zhao De was able to afford it, he decided to prepare all the betrothal gifts.

Even though he already has a double bed at home, he plans to buy a new one.

In addition, he also plans to replace some furniture if necessary.

Just after Zhao De and Aunt Wang left one after the other.

Uncle Yan Bugui, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, slowly walked over.

"What? They just left?"

Yan Bugui sighed inwardly, realizing he had missed it.

I don't know where Aunt Wang went, so I can only wait at the door of my house.

He took half a day off today to discuss the matchmaking fee with Aunt Wang.

After all, this leave is unpaid.

He would feel very sorry for Aunt Wang if she hadn't returned home by lunchtime.

Yan Bugui originally planned to come again on the weekend.

After all, in that era, people usually worked six days and rested one day.

But what Zhao De said yesterday and his behavior when dealing with Sha Zhu...

This made Yan Bugui somewhat uneasy, as he was genuinely worried that Zhao De might sabotage things.

In addition, Yan Jiecheng was urging him not to delay any longer.

......................

So he had to take the morning off to come over.

At this moment, I am at home.

When Aunt Wang arrived, she found that only Yu Li and Yu Haitang were at home; their parents had already gone to work.

Aunt Wang originally wanted Yu Haitang to call the parents back.

Later, I thought I could let them come back at noon, and I could get a free meal here.

"Yu Li, I'm so sorry! I was so blind to have made such a mistake!"

Aunt Wang immediately began to weep pitifully, trying to first work on Yu Li's mindset.

"Aunt Wang, what's wrong?"

Yu Li and Yu Haitang exchanged a surprised glance and quickly asked a question.

"It's all because of that Yan Bugui. He's a complete miser and a hoarder."

Aunt Wang cursed and berated Yan Bugui for trying to save five cents.

He embellished the story of how he had been harassing her for almost a month.

“I said, he’s so petty and stingy.”

"What kind of good life do you expect if you marry him?!"

"He probably plans every single thing about me, from eating and drinking to sleeping, from morning till night!"

Hearing Aunt Wang say this, Yu Li recalled that she had indeed had the same feeling when she visited the Yan family last time.

......................

Although she wasn't entirely satisfied with Yan Jiecheng, she could tolerate him.

However, the actual situation turned out to be far worse than expected.

Yu Li asked anxiously:

"What should we do then?"

Yu Haitang was very dissatisfied with this:

"Aunt Wang, you were the one who introduced this marriage."

"And you used to praise them to the skies."

Aunt Wang sighed deeply.

"I was fooled at the time, so I have to admit I was really blind."

"Fortunately, things haven't been settled yet, so there's still time to salvage the situation."

That’s indeed true!

Upon hearing this, the Yu sisters felt extremely fortunate.

"Then I'll trouble you, Aunt Wang, to help us find out more..."

Before Yu Haitang could finish speaking, Aunt Wang interrupted her:

"There's no need to ask any further. I've come here to tell you this after I've made thorough preparations."

"This person is more than ten thousand times stronger than Yan Jiecheng."

"He is outstanding in both character and qualifications."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Yu sisters immediately became interested.

"Have you heard about what happened yesterday...?"

As Aunt Wang recounted Zhao De's glorious deeds and his character and qualities in great detail.

Yu Li's eyes lit up, and even Yu Haitang was moved.

......................

However, she is currently a junior in high school and is in the same class as He Yushui.

"There are advantages and disadvantages to both families with elders and families without elders."

"If you encounter a good mother-in-law, that's naturally a wonderful thing, and she can be of great help."

"But if you run into a wicked mother-in-law, you're in for a rough time."

"Take Qin Huairu, whom Aunt Tian introduced to the Jia family, for example."

"That Jia Zhangshi is notoriously lazy and gluttonous..."

Aunt Wang highly recommended Zhao De, saying he had excellent speaking skills.

Let's take Qin Huairu's example directly.

This made Yu Li think that not having a mother-in-law might not be so bad.

As a result, the Yu sisters really developed a great interest in Zhao De.

He kept pestering Aunt Wang to ask about various things.

And just like that, the morning passed in the blink of an eye.

At noon, Mr. and Mrs. Yu returned home.

Seeing such a stark contrast, one can't help but be overjoyed.

A son-in-law like Zhao De is incredibly hard to find, even with a lantern.

Therefore, after lunch, Aunt Wang successfully took Yu Li to Zhao De's house.

Meanwhile, Yan Bugui sighed and walked towards his own courtyard.

At this moment, his body was cold, his heart was even colder, and he was heartbroken!

......................

I don't know where Aunt Wang has gone.

He didn't come back all morning, leaving him to freeze in the snow for nothing.

When Yan Bugui returned to the courtyard house.

"Hey, honey, why have you been gone for so long? Xu Damao is already back!"

Upon hearing the third aunt mention this matter, Yan Bugui slapped his thigh, his face full of regret.

"Oh dear, look at my memory, I completely forgot about this!"

Because Xu Damao always came back from the countryside.

They would always bring Yan Bugui, who was always waiting at the door, some local specialties from the mountains, such as mushrooms, green beans, and ginseng.

Therefore, Yan Bugui's request for leave that morning was partly due to this consideration.
