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

For Niu Dazhuang, this period was busy but happy, and time didn't seem to fly by. For some people, those who were going to run away have already run away.

Before we knew it, it was December 67, and the riots had been largely quelled...

Ordinary people will continue to live their lives as before, and they will continue to fight if necessary. Before the riots, the workers in the factories were treated as if they were in illegal factories.

They work 10 to 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, without overtime pay. Manufacturing workers earn between HK$100 and HK$200 a month, barely enough to eat, and live in cage homes.

There are no job security, no paid leave, no maternity leave for women, virtually no compensation for work-related injuries, and child labor is widespread.

When disputes arise, the government basically doesn't get involved.

Work and production are gradually resuming, and at least there are no more gunshots or explosions outside now.

Niu Dazhuang bought three safes from outside that were exactly the same as the ones in the room.

"Why did you buy so much stuff? The dorm is already small, there's hardly any room to move around! Are you planning something new?"

This is the addictive mindset of women, even more so than men!

"This is serious business. Have you received any letters from home? How is your father doing?"

Bai Hongmin proudly raised her chin slightly: "My dad finally got his wish and became the official head of the household. He even mentioned you in his letter, saying that when we go back to report on our work at the end of next year, he must bring you home as a guest."

Is there something I don't know about this? Knowing my dad's understanding, even if he tacitly acknowledges your relationship with my sister, he wouldn't have invited you home as a guest?

"What's so strange about that? You just feel like I'm of some use to your family now!"

"That's good, that's good. Don't you think we should confront them? I don't want to end up like my sister, having a child who has to take their surname!"

"Hey Da Niu, do you think I might also have twins?"

"Did your parents, or those living upstairs, also have twins?"

Bai Hongmin tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I think I heard my mother mention it briefly. She had a twin sister, but unfortunately she died before she was a month old."

"That's right, then your chances of having twins are very high."

"Hehe, that's good, that's good. Twin babies are so much fun. I plan to get pregnant next summer, and by the end of the year I'll be fully pregnant. Then I'll do what my older sister did and get pregnant first and ask questions later."

"I can imagine what kind of look your dad will have. Could you do what your sister did and not reveal your relationship with me yet? We just started to ease tensions with your family, and now your parents' hearts are already wounded, with old wounds still fresh!"

"That's true! I'll think about it some more. I'm not busy at work today, and I'm already starting to consider it..."

Niu Dazhuang even teased her, saying, "You're just lucky to have met me. If it were anyone else, you would have worn them out long ago, leaving them with dark circles under their eyes, weak back and knees, and dead."

"Hehe, let me tell you a secret. Back then, my sister followed you so recklessly, and I knew there was a reason behind it. She even picked out the best options for me."

I closed my eyes and followed her choice, and it turned out to be the right one!

"Tell me the truth, wasn't my sister particularly infatuated with you back then, which is why she was with you?"

"You've already said everything, what else can I say..."

It was another stormy night...

With society stabilized, Lin Yongmei's older brother also came over.

"Little sister, do you still recognize her?" Lin Weiliang happily lined up the three children.

Lin Yongmei looked at the boy who was about the same height as her and said, "This must be Xiaosen, he's taller than me. This is Xiaoxia, she's been a beauty since she was little. And the youngest one must be Xiaoli."

"Hurry up and greet them, and pay your respects!"

The three of them bowed in unison, calling out "Auntie".

Lin Yongmei's eyes welled up with tears of joy: "Okay, okay, here's a red envelope for each of you!"

"This is your aunt. Take it, Xiaosen. Do you remember your aunt?"

Lin Chengsen shook his head awkwardly.

"Brother, when I left, Xiaosen was only three years old and Xiaoxia was less than a week old. How could they remember? In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up so much."

The children are all here, why didn't my sister-in-law come along?

"She gets carsick and seasick. We'll have a family gathering during the Lunar New Year. Okay, you guys go play in that room. I have something to discuss with your aunt."

"Brother, let the kids watch TV in the living room. Let's go to the other room to talk."

The brother and sister went into the inner room.

"Little sister, it's only been a short time since we last met, and you're already your own boss! And you bought this house too, right?"

"Yes, hello my boss, he gave these to me. Brother, how did you and your wife discuss it? The current housing prices are still good, even if we don't move in, we can still consider it an investment."

"Sigh! Your sister-in-law is reluctant to leave her hometown, and I don't have that much money to invest."

"Brother, now that you run your own business, how much do you earn each year?"

"I haven't calculated it in detail, but it's probably around ten or twenty thousand!"

"I gave you a general overview in the letter. Our boss currently owns ten residential complexes, each with 300 households. There are also two rows of twenty townhouses in the hillside area, as well as 100 acres of industrial land."

In the middle of this year, I bought a floor in a top-tier office building in Central, about 200 square meters. All of this requires a property management company to lease it out, collect rent, and pay property management fees…

Lin Weiliang was completely dumbfounded. Even after Lin Yongmei finished speaking, he was still standing there with his mouth agape, staring blankly at her.

"Big brother, big brother!" It wasn't until Lin Yongmei nudged him that he came to his senses.

"Little sister, you're not kidding, are you?!" Lin Weiliang couldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

Do I look like I'm joking?

"This, this... even the second-generation Red Army from the north wouldn't be this rich! Could it be those remnants of the Qing Dynasty in Europe? Only they have this kind of power."

"Brother, as far as I know, he's just an ordinary person from the mainland, and he's always kept a low profile. He doesn't want to show his face now."

"This is outrageous! You'd better cling to this powerful figure, little sister!"

Lin Yongmei smiled smugly: "Don't worry, he can't run away. How about it, can you come and help me now?"

Lin Weiliang nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"As for your salary, we won't be paying you monthly anymore. How about an annual salary of 30,000?"

"Good! You can make your own decisions?"

"I can handle that. You can stay at the apartment next door when you come. I'll go tell my boss this afternoon; he already said he wants to see you when you arrive!"

"Okay, how do I prepare...?"

Lin Yongmei could tell that he was visibly nervous.

"Brother, don't be so nervous!"

"Don't be nervous. Tell me, what are your boss's taboos, hobbies, and what kind of things he likes to hear...?"
