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

Ultimately, everyone agreed to work together to move the clutter out of the yard.

Then they each went home to get their ingredients.

Liu Guangqi and his two younger brothers returned home first, overjoyed.

"Mom, you're back!"

"What happened?"

My second aunt just came back from outside not long ago.

"Qianqian invited us to lunch, but we thought it was too late..."

The three brothers spoke one after another:

"So we decided to treat her to a meal, as a way of welcoming her back home."

After finishing speaking.

Without waiting for Aunt Er's reply, Liu Guangqi started taking things.

He grabbed three, no, let's just say five eggs.

Let's get some more flour. Hmm, two pounds isn't enough, so let's make four pounds!

Hey, there's also a four-ounce piece of pork belly, we have to bring that too.

When we eat, we'll tell Qianqian that we got all this meat from our own farm. How impressive that would be!

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu stood aside watching; they dared not take anything without permission.

If Liu Haizhong scolds me tonight, I'll probably get a beating.

"Guangqi, don't take so much!"

Auntie Er watched with heartache, already preparing to intervene and stop it.

"Mom, Qianqian will be living next door to us from now on!"

With just one sentence, Liu Guangqi persuaded the second aunt to put her outstretched hand back.

"What do you say?"

"Look, that little room that's been prepared is for her to live in. She'll be living there from now on."

Aunt Er walked to the front door and looked outside, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

Isn't this a case of being in a prime position to benefit from the advantages of proximity?

She witnessed firsthand the scene of everyone crowding around Zhao Qianqian that morning.

However, that window...

Why does it look so familiar?

Yan Jiecheng and his two younger brothers also happily hurried home.

However, when he passed by the Intermediate People's Court, Qin Huairu stopped him and asked him about the situation.

Qin Huairu was stunned when she learned the truth.

You've been working hard all morning for your cousin Zhao De.

We're supposed to provide the ingredients and raise funds to host a welcome dinner for her?!

At this moment, Qin Huairu felt a slight pang of sadness.

Back when I first arrived at this compound, I didn't enjoy such treatment.

Although she wasn't as beautiful and charming as Zhao Qianqian is now back then.

But at that time, it was also a flower in the yard.

Unwilling to give up, Qin Huairu pressed for details, and after learning them, she suddenly had an epiphany.

She felt that the more Zhao Qianqian declined, the more it seemed to provoke everyone to be even more attentive to her.

Although Qin Huairu's cultural level was insufficient to formulate the phrase "retreating to advance," she seemed to have learned something.

If Sha Zhu is willing to help him, but he refuses his kindness.

Won't this make Sha Zhu even more proactive?

Perhaps we can try this method next time.

By the time Qin Huairu came to her senses, the three Yan brothers had already disappeared.

When Yan Jiecheng returned home, his third aunt immediately scolded him:

"Look what you three have done! You actually took half a window off your house and gave it to Zhao De."

"That's a new one your dad just bought not long ago. See how he deals with you when he gets home tonight."

It turned out that the third aunt had returned home earlier and learned what had happened from Yan Jiedi.

Yan Jiecheng already had a solution.

"Mom, don't be angry. Although that Comrade Qianqian is good-looking, I still know my limits."

The three women glared at him, waiting for him to continue.

"I did this to steal it!"

"Hijacking?"

The three women didn't react for a moment.

Yan Jiecheng then explained:

"Mom, look, Zhao De beat me to it and started dating Yu Li."

"And I was the first person to meet Qianqian this morning."

"Do you think we can let Sha Zhu and Liu Guangqi get involved again?"

"first!"

Seeing that the three women wanted to speak, Yan Jiecheng immediately held up one finger to indicate that he hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Secondly, since Zhao De stole Yu Li, shouldn't I make him compensate me with a wife?"

"So if I marry his cousin, wouldn't I be able to get revenge?"

"And you saw it too."

"This daughter-in-law is not only beautiful but also very intelligent. She is many times more beautiful than Yu Li."

"Moreover, she is reasonable, understanding, and kind-hearted..."

"We've really hit the jackpot!"

These words convinced all three women.

Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi all looked at their eldest brother with admiration.

"Big brother, that's fantastic! You've learned at least 70% of what Dad was doing!"

"Which one is 70%? I think it's almost 90%!"

While the brothers were still discussing among themselves, Yan Jiecheng had already taken action.

And they explained why they took the ingredients.

The three aunties fully supported this time.

Although I was a little reluctant, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and endure it in order to avenge myself.

"Take it! Take it as much as you can, we can't let the Liu family outdo us!"

"That's right, that's how it should be!"

Yan Jiecheng was very satisfied; what was meant by 90%?

Let's surpass our master and be even better than him!

So he grabbed peanuts, melon seeds, and candy without missing a single one.

After eating, you can also let Qianqian use it to cut through the greasiness.

Those one and a half wild mushrooms shouldn't be missed either.

There was also a basket of green beans, and even ginseng. We had to take it with us so that Qianqian could nourish her body.

Take more eggs.

Oh dear, there's also half a pound of cured meat, take that with you too.

Carrying a large pile of odds and ends, Yan Jiecheng excitedly rushed out the door.

With so many gifts, Qianqian will definitely be very happy to see them.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang quickly followed them out.

After all, I helped with the work this morning, so I deserve a good meal!

Liu Guangqi shared the same view.

Carrying a bunch of things and accompanied by two henchmen, he entered Sha Zhu's house with a happy expression.
