Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

After Ma Xingbang was taken to Shijingshan People's Hospital, the driver covered his eye with one hand and went to call the police, and then called Ma Xingbang's wife, Ye Lin.

Upon hearing that Ma Xingbang had been beaten and his finger broken, Ye Lin quickly left home and rushed to Shijingshan.

This was all designed by Niu Dazhuang.

When Ye Lin arrived at the hospital, Ma Xingbang was already on an IV drip, and two officers in police uniforms were taking his statement.

"Old Ma, how's this hospital? Is it any good? How about we transfer to another one? Xiao Li, go and get the transfer paperwork done." Ye Lin wanted to transfer hospitals as soon as she entered the room, finding fault with everything.

"What are you security guards doing? How come your chairman got beaten up by some thug?!"

Ma Xingbang is in a real bind from being fired.

"Don't cause any more trouble. You can go home if you have nothing else to do!"

"How could I possibly go back? I won't feel at ease leaving you without anyone to take care of you. We shouldn't have let everyone go in the first place; now that this has happened, there's no one to look after you!"

"Comrade in the hat is questioning us, can you please keep quiet?"

Ye Lin finally shut up and sat down to listen to Ma Xingbang recount the events.

"Comrade Ma Xingbang, are you saying that this isn't a dispute caused by an ordinary traffic accident, but rather that someone is deliberately targeting you?"

"Comrade in the hat, I'm just guessing. That person's appearance was too coincidental. There was no unnecessary argument. He just came up and knocked my driver down without giving me a chance to speak. He broke my fingers. It was obviously all planned."

The two officers nodded. "Your opinion is very important, we will take it seriously. Have you offended anyone recently?"

After thinking for a moment, Ma Xingbang said definitively, "No!"

After the man in the peaked cap left, Ma Xingbang leaned against the wall, and the image of a certain person appeared in his mind.

The words from the policeman reminded him that although Niu Dazhuang was wearing makeup, his eyes and back view couldn't be changed.

Fortunately, the last beating happened at night, so Ma Xingbang didn't get a good look at Niu Dazhuang's face, otherwise he would definitely have been recognized.

Although Ma Xingbang is currently suspicious, he cannot be certain.

"Ye Lin, you didn't tell the children, did you?"

"I haven't had a chance yet. I'll call their company tomorrow."

"I'm fine, so there's no need to tell them. I won't stay in the hospital anymore. We'll go back after the IV drip is finished."

"Are you really alright?"

"It's nothing, just a broken little finger, it's all fixed now."

After the IV drip was finished, it was already past eight o'clock before the driver finally took them home. An even bigger surprise awaited them.

The driver pushed open the gate, and the lights in every room of the small villa were on.

Before the driver could even drive the car back to the yard, Ye Lin and Ma Xingbang got out of the car and jogged to open the door.

The living room was empty; even mice could run through it. Ye Lin quickly ran upstairs. All the doors to the rooms upstairs were open.

"It's gone, gone, all gone." Ye Lin was stunned.

Ma Xingbang remained calmer: he hurried to the study, only to find it empty. He quickly ran to the back window, looked up, and, finding no signs of disturbance, felt much more at ease.

"Oh my god! My jewelry, my big gold bracelet, my jade bracelet..." Then she looked again, and her big bed was gone.

"My personal rent!" Ye Lin muttered, plopping down on the floor.

Ma Xingbang walked over with a sigh: "My study was also cleaned, but luckily the things I hid above the back window weren't stolen."

"Call the police! Call the police right now!" Ye Lin urged.

The couple were freezing cold, with nowhere to sleep at night. They couldn't even get a sip of hot water, and the kitchen had been emptied out.

How can the word "miserable" even begin to describe it...

The culprit was chatting and laughing with the young woman.

"Although this Cai Quanwu doesn't actually have the surname Fang, he really has the Fang family's style," Niu Dazhuang teased after hearing Cai Quanwu's words outside the door.

"Don't be so unreasonable. I'm not destined to be a princess, and you don't want to end up being cut in half at the waist, do you? Besides, what have we been doing? We've just been having a normal chat!" Xu Huizhen said, displeased.

"Cai Quanwu, you're not busy anymore, are you? What are you wandering around the yard for? We're not even married yet. Even if we do get married, what's wrong with me talking to my cousin?"

Cai Quanwu, who was outside the door, realized that Xu Huizhen was angry, so he slunk away to the front to help.

"Cousin! Wow, you're really good at managing your husband!"

"Get lost. I can guess what he's thinking, but he comes from a bad background and is now all alone. A man without money won't stand up for himself." Xu Huizhen glanced at Niu Dazhuang.

"You're an exception! You have the looks to be a male concubine!" Xu Huizhen's words were loaded with sarcasm, a dig at Niu Dazhuang for relying on Chen Xueru, a young rich woman.

"You look down on me too much. Why do I have to be a male concubine? Didn't you mention selling your house last time I came? I've got money now and I want to buy some property."

"It's not like my best friend is paying for it, is it?" Xu Huizhen emphasized the words "best friend".

"I didn't spend a single penny of Chen Xueru's money. In fact, I did her a big favor. It was all money I earned through my own abilities."

Seeing Niu Dazhuang's smug expression, a bucket of cold water was poured on him.

"Dazhuang, no matter how you earned your money, you can't just show off now that you have a little! The richer you are, the more low-key you should be. Don't you see what the situation is like now? You're so smart, I don't need to tell you anything!"

"I was just showing off a little in front of you, because we're on the same side!"

"I don't think so. You were quite smug up ahead. No matter what Cai Quanwu said, if you were angry, you should have come down and settled the score with him. Why did you even throw wine in Cadre Fan's face!"

"I'm just standing up for you, aren't I? I've heard that this cadre Fan isn't a good person and has caused you a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen felt a warmth in her heart. It turned out that this guy wasn't heartless after all; even though they hadn't seen each other, he still cared about her.

"Dazhuang, I have plenty of ways to deal with Fan Jinyou. Silly brother, you're being too reckless. I can't bear to see you go to jail for two days because of me. Besides, this won't solve anything!"

Niu Dazhuang wasn't a reckless person. After some serious reflection, he realized he might have acted impulsively tonight. Had he really gotten carried away?

"Hehe, looks like we made the right choice coming here!" That's one good thing about Niu Dazhuang; he can listen to good advice and correct his mistakes immediately.

"Then you can come often from now on. How's work?"

"Great! I just got back from a business trip. Now my cousin can tell me who's selling houses!"

"Hmm, I've seen that little courtyard. It's in the southern part of the city, and the surrounding environment isn't very good; it's too noisy. The house itself isn't great either. You'll have to do some repairs after you buy it. The only good thing is that the property rights are clear, and it's a small detached house. Why don't you wait a little longer?"
