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

Niu Dazhuang pushed his bicycle out the door.

Qin Huairu stood at the doorway and teased, "Come on, let's go take a look inside!"

"Haven't you heard enough yet? You still want to go and see for yourself. Ningru is a little better, but Lao Qi is still a bit shy." Despite saying that, he still followed Qin Huairu into the inner room.

"This Dazhuang, this beast," Qin Huairu said with a sigh, seeing that the two sisters were still unconscious.

You'll get used to it eventually. We can't just bring in more people to fill the gaps!

Even if we dragged all seven of us sisters into this, I don't think we could fill this hole.

"Third Sister, before we came, Seventh Brother said something like, 'Why don't you get a divorce after you have the baby? What if Yizhuang...'"

"Sigh! Even if we're divorced, I can't just move in right away."

"Why don't we just have Dazhuang rent you two rooms outside? Beijing is so big, who knows who? I'll find out more about Dazhuang's situation, and if he really doesn't mind, then we'll do it this way."

"Xueru, you understand me best. I'm afraid he'll look down on me. After all, I'm different from you guys; I've had children. He doesn't lack women, so he probably won't care much for me." Qin Huairu lacked confidence.

"That shouldn't be the case. I used to be a little jealous of you, because I felt he treated you better than I did."

"You still don't understand men. What am I? His sister-in-law, someone else's wife. Sleeping with someone else's wife, and he still goes crazy for her."

If I get divorced, my status will be different, and Dazhuang will lose that sense of accomplishment from possessing another man's woman.

"Oh! Is that so?"

"Haven't you heard what men say? 'Your own kids are the best, but other people's wives are the best.' That's just what most men like."

Take your brother-in-law for example, I don't think I'm any less attractive than the young wife of the Jin family at the end of the alley.

"The Jin family's youngest daughter-in-law? She's quite pretty, but she's not as voluptuous as us sisters. Why does my brother-in-law like that kind of woman?"

"Your brother-in-law has the desire but not the guts, but his eyes still light up when he looks at other women."

"I understand what you mean. You're worried that if you get divorced and lose this status, Niu Dazhuang won't have that possessiveness anymore."

"That would be difficult." Qin Xueru thought for a moment and comforted her, "Third sister, let's not guess. When he comes back tonight, I'll just ask him directly and we'll know the answer."

"Ah... Sister, how did you get in?" Qin Ningru recovered at this moment.

As for Niu Dazhuang, he didn't go to see Grandpa Niu first. Niu Dazhuang hadn't finished get off work yet at this time. Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen didn't have any restrictions on their work hours. Their time was short and their tasks were heavy. They only came back once a month, so they had to come at least once a month. It wouldn't be good if someone took advantage of the situation.

Now there's no need for restraint. We've all been through many trials; we know each other well. The sun is about to set, and the wind and rain are finally subsiding.

"Sister Huizhen, could you do me a favor tomorrow?"

"You big bad guy, look at me now, I don't even want to move tomorrow!"

"Hehe, I wasn't paying attention, the storm got a bit too fierce. If tomorrow isn't possible, the day after will do!"

"What is it?"

"Don't you need to pickle vegetables anymore? Pickle a few vats for my family."

"How many people are in your family? And how many vats of pickling are you making?"

There are quite a few people.

Chen Xueru interjected, "I'll go see what the women in your house look like, that they've got you completely infatuated with them, while you don't even fancy either of us sisters."

"Why wouldn't you like it? I just got back today and came straight here to find you."

"Stop trying to fool me. That's exactly what I meant by 'I don't think much of you'!"

"Chen Xueru, that's not very interesting. Sister Huizhen just stopped worrying about this issue, and now you're bringing it up again."

"I wouldn't dare have any improper thoughts. I'm just curious about what kind of woman you have at home that makes you so protective of her status."

"I didn't stop you, go see it if you want."

"Aren't you afraid your wife will find out about our relationship and break up with you?" Chen Xueru asked tentatively.

"Stop with your wicked thoughts! If I find out you've said something you shouldn't have, hmph!" With that, he slapped Chen Xueru's buttocks.

"Why do you want to continue with the family discipline?"

Chen Xueru quickly begged for mercy: "Fine, I'm scared! My man!"

After having dinner with them here, I rode my bicycle to visit Grandpa Niu.

Well! As soon as I entered the gate, I was drawn to a few old household items displayed in the gatehouse. I took a closer look; they were black with a hint of purple.

He then took out a boning knife from his spatial storage, gently scraped the bottom of the table leg to collect the powder, rubbed it vigorously in his palm until it was hot, and immediately brought it close to his nose to smell the faint sandalwood scent.

Damn, it's definitely old rosewood! Niu Dazhuang quickly looked at the five-drawer cabinet again. Judging from the wood grain, it should be chicken wing wood, which is also a good piece of stuff.

"Big brother, you're back." Dayong walked over from the kitchen carrying a bowl.

Niu Dazhuang punched Da Yong on the shoulder: "You're something else, kid. You collected all of this? You've spent all the money, haven't you? I'll leave you some more."

Da Yong chuckled sheepishly, "Most of these were collected by the three of us brothers together. This little bit of old furniture just doesn't fit in the house."

"Oh, there's no room inside? We can put them in the house in the backyard too."

"I know, the backyard is full too. There are also some rainproof porcelain items in the yard." As he spoke, Big Bear and Big Foo came over.

"Come on, take me to see this."

Niu Dazhuang wasn't in a hurry to see his uncle anymore; he'd go check on the treasure first.

The backyard had three main rooms, two side rooms, and three wing rooms on each side. Niu Dazhuang was a little incredulous, remembering that he had only left them one hundred yuan. How could one hundred yuan buy so many things?

When the door to the side room was opened, Niu Dazhuang believed it. Furniture takes up a lot of space, and the room was like a dilapidated warehouse, with all sorts of things mixed together.

"These are all missing limbs. The good ones are in the main room, and the old man picked out a good set and put it in front," Da Xiong explained.

There was a pile of porcelain under the eaves of the main house. Dazhuang knew a little about furniture, but he knew nothing about porcelain.

The three main rooms were indeed in good condition; at least they weren't missing any parts. A huanghuali official's hat chair was placed at the bottom by the three boys, with an embroidered stool of indeterminate material on top. A screen was placed flat on top of the stool.

"You spendthrift fools! Such a fine thing, and you just leave it like this." Saying this, he quickly and gently took down the screen, looked around, and found that there was indeed no place to put it. He stuck the screen behind the door, took down the embroidered stool, and then moved out the huanghuali official's hat chair.

"The money I left you is definitely not enough. Tell me, what's going on?" Even if people these days don't know the value of things, they wouldn't sell such good things cheaply. This huanghuali official's hat chair in front of you might not even be worth a hundred dollars.
