The Courtyard House: Xu Damao's Aunt is the Queen of Women

Donate only 50 cents? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?

"Old Yan is detaining you..."

The insatiable Jia Zhangshi was enraged and was about to explode on instinct, but was stopped by Yi Zhonghai's cold and ruthless gaze. She shrank back and dared not cause any more trouble.

Donations continued, with people lining up to donate one, two, or five cents. Even Dong Zhengshan, the poorest resident in the compound, donated one cent.

Soon, it was Ye Juan, Liu Hao, and Xu Damao's turn.

Only then did everyone notice Liu Hao and Ye Juan standing at the back, and they all showed kind smiles.

"Accountant Liu and Ye Juan are back! I heard you two are dating? Oh dear, the young men in the compound are going to be heartbroken."

"Congratulations! You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"

"I knew it! With Accountant Liu's handsome looks, what girl wouldn't like him? It's only a matter of time before Ye Juan and Accountant Liu start dating."

"It's not just young girls who like it; older people like it too!"

"You shameless woman, watch out, your husband will beat you up!"

Hearing everyone's blessings and jokes, Yi Zhonghai didn't care. Anyway, he thought that Sha Zhu had no chance.

Is Ye Juan destined to remain unmarried? Would she possibly fall for that old, foolish Zhu?

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui's faces turned ashen, because these two old men already regarded Ye Juan as their future daughter-in-law.

Having such a beautiful daughter-in-law is a source of great pride.

Unexpectedly, this new kid snatched it away!

Liu Haizhong adopted a superior demeanor and said in a lecturing tone, "Accountant Liu, you are a person who has received higher education, so you must know the principle of helping those in distress... helping those in distress... yes, helping those in distress and rescuing those in need."

Everyone looked down on him, saying that Liu Haizhong was pretentious all day long, uncultured, and a complete idiot.

"Also, you've just moved into courtyard number 95, so you need to show everyone your sincerity, don't you think?"

"Alright then, Uncle, I won't ask you to donate much, just five yuan will do!"

Yan Fugui quickly chimed in, even pulling Wen along.

"Yes, Xiao Liu, as the saying goes, we should help each other when we are in trouble, watch out for each other, and support each other when we are sick. The first time I saw you yesterday, I knew that you were the kind of person who would help others in times of trouble and would do anything for justice. You should do your best, and the Jia family will remember your kindness."

Is this forced donation?

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke. After all, Liu Hao was the accountant of the steel rolling mill.

Ye Juan's beautiful eyes were filled with anger, and she was about to explode, but Liu Hao grabbed her arm.

"Master Liu, Teacher Yan is right. Helping those in distress is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. As a new-era cadre nurtured by the Party and the country, born under the red flag and raised in the spring breeze, I naturally have to set an example, fulfill this responsibility, and carry forward this traditional virtue. How can I stand idly by when my neighbors are in trouble?"

Liu Hao's move really annoyed Liu Haizhong; those who graduated from cadre schools are really good at talking.

Ye Juan silently recited "Born under the red flag, raised in the spring breeze," and the more she recited it, the more she felt that the words were truly beautiful.

I'll ask Liu Hao to write some more promotional slogans for me later, and I'll write them on the factory's blackboard.

The residents all gave a thumbs up, saying, "Look, this is a true cultured person."

Liu Hao stepped forward, a warm and inviting smile on his handsome and masculine face.

"Comrade Jia Zhangshi, the difficulties are only temporary. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome in this world. I believe that your family's life will definitely get better and better every day."

"Ye Juan is my girlfriend, we're family. This 5 yuan is a token of our appreciation, and we hope you won't find it offensive."

Seeing that Liu Hao had donated 5 yuan and was speaking so kindly, Jia Zhangshi's usually sharp and mean face showed a rare look of kindness.

"Oh, no problem at all, Accountant Liu, you're such a kind person!"

Xu Damao came over, took out 5 yuan, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Jia, I'm donating 5 yuan to you, so you can thank me!"

The money-grubbing Jia Zhangshi readily agreed, saying that as long as you give her money, she would not only thank you, but also kneel down and kowtow to call you "father".

"Da Mao, you silly child, I really have to thank you!"

After saying this with a fake smile, Jia Zhangshi snatched the money and stuffed it into the alley.

Liu Hao smiled slightly, put the 5 yuan into the box, and with a thought, sent the 25 yuan donated by Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Damao into the storage space.

I made a net profit of 25; I wish I could donate every day.

After the donation was completed, Jia Zhangshi picked up the donation box and ran away without even saying thank you.

Everyone's gotten used to it and it's nothing new to them.

Yi Zhonghai said a few more words, and then everyone went home to wash up and go to bed.

Just then, a sharp explosion came from the Jia family's room in the west wing.

"Ugh... Damn it!!! This box is eating money!!!"

Everyone was stunned, their faces full of question marks.

The box eats money?

Jia Zhangshi rushed out at a speed of 100 meters per second and smashed the wooden box on the ground with a thud.

Crack! The wooden crate shattered, revealing a few small bills lying inside. The 20 yuan donated by Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, the 5 yuan from Xu Damao, and the 5 yuan from Liu Hao were all gone.

"The money's gone! The money's gone!!!"

Yan Fugui frowned, strode forward, squatted down, and rummaged around for a few moments before saying in a deep voice, "Jia Zhangshi, don't talk nonsense. Did you hide the money?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately realized that Jia Zhangshi had hidden the money, lied to everyone by saying that the box was eating money, and then threw a tantrum to make everyone donate again.

Shameless! This old hag has absolutely no shame. Is she trying to scam us like fools?

"That box is a load of bull; I think you're the one who ate it!"

"Mrs. Jia, can't you come up with a better excuse? Do we look like idiots?"

"Let's go, let's go home!"

The crowd dispersed quickly, fleeing from this place of trouble.

Jia Zhangshi collapsed to the ground, crying and shouting, "I didn't lie to you! The box ate the money, you have to believe me!!!"

Ma Baomin, the son of Ma Wangshi in the front yard, curled his lip.

"I don't believe you, you old hag, you're wicked!"

Liu Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and pulled Ye Juan away as well.

"I made the right choice coming to this courtyard house. There's something new every day. It's so much fun."

Ye Juan said thoughtfully, "Liu Hao, why do I feel like Jia Zhangshi isn't acting?"

Of course you weren't acting. Your man earned 25, enough for two Peking duck meals.

"Whether she's acting or not, it's none of our business. Come on, I'll take you home."

Ye Juan's cheeks flushed slightly; this guy was definitely going to kiss her.

Let's kiss!

The two strolled back to the west courtyard. As soon as they opened the door, before the lights were even turned on, Liu Hao pressed Ye Juan against the door and shoved his big mouth against her.

In the dark, Ye Juan wasn't shy at all. She took the initiative to put her arm around Liu Hao's neck and responded awkwardly.

More than ten minutes later, Ye Juan shouted.

"Ah! I'm going to chop your claws off!"

Liu Hao took off running, and Ye Juan chased after him with a wooden stick, pulling at his clothes as she ran, until she stopped at the small door.

"You little bastard, just you wait, I'll kill you tomorrow!"

Bang! Ye Juan slammed the door shut.

Liu Hao stood at the door of his house, raised his left hand to his nose and smelled it.

The scale is far more impressive than I imagined.

Furthermore, the system seems to have a small feature: when you touch a bear, it immediately provides its height, weight, and body measurements.

身高1米7，58公斤，三围90/55/90。

Her slender waist, which could be grasped in one hand, seemed to have been carefully shaped by the Creator, while her hips were full and perky, with a rounded and firm curve, outlining a highly taut S-shaped curve between her waist and hips.

This body proportion is outrageous! It's absolutely perfect!!!

Liu Hao sighed, took out his key, opened the door, went inside, closed the door, took off his clothes, and crawled into bed.

The fire stopped burning. He's in good physical condition and was covered with a down comforter; he was sweating profusely last night.

I took out my phone and set an alarm. I left for Prince Gong's Mansion at 12 o'clock sharp!

I can't be poor; it's my first time visiting my future father-in-law's family tomorrow, and the gift can't be stingy.
