I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

He vomited for a long time, almost bringing up bile, his mind filled with Wang Meili's big, fat face, and his heart was filled with fear.

After a long while, Liu Guangqi slowly walked back to his front door.

But as soon as they reached the door, they heard voices coming from inside the house.

"Auntie, don't worry! As long as you agree to my relationship with Guangqi, I'll definitely have my uncle find a way to rescue Uncle! This is a piece of cake for us!"

"Really...really?"

"Of course it's true! But I'll have to trouble you to talk to Guangqi about it. Don't worry, apart from being a little plump, I'm perfect in every other way!"

"Alright...alright! I agree! As long as you can rescue Old Liu, you'll be a great benefactor to our family! Our whole family will be grateful to you! I promise, Guangqi will marry you in a grand and glorious ceremony!"

"Okay, okay! Don't worry, Auntie! There's one more thing. You need to find a way to deal with Zhou Weiguo and Tian Zao in the courtyard, within the bounds of reason and law. It would be best to incite public outrage among the other residents and get them to propose kicking them out. But remember, don't confront them directly yet! Don't worry, this isn't just my idea; it's the joint decision of my aunt and uncle. Just cooperate with the neighborhood committee."

"Since you've said so, Meili, I understand! I will definitely find a way to deal with the Zhou family!"

Liu Guangqi, who was listening outside the door, turned ashen-faced.

At this moment, he finally made a decision that he had been hesitating for more than a month.

Even before the Lunar New Year, his girlfriend from his school days invited him to return to Tianjin to develop his career.

The girl's father was a leader, and he promised that if he went to Tianjin with her, he could not only be given a cadre status, but also possibly become a deputy section chief.

If she was willing to marry into his family, her father even guaranteed that he would become a full section chief within a year.

He was still hesitant, but when he thought of his beautiful girlfriend and that "fat pig" weighing over 200 pounds, what did it matter if he married into her family?

I thought only his father, Liu Haizhong, was heartless towards his son, but I never expected that even his mother didn't care about family ties and was actually going to push him into a fire pit! Then don't blame me for being ruthless!

At this moment, Wang Meili came out of the house with a shy smile on her face: "Okay, Auntie, that's enough for today, let's chat another day!"

Turning her head, she saw Liu Guangqi standing at the door, and immediately lowered her head, looking shy.

She then looked up at Liu Guangqi, who was standing there dumbfounded, and said coquettishly, "How annoying! How can you look at me like that!"

After saying that, Wang Meili swayed her barrel-like waist, called over the street office staff who had been waiting in the courtyard, and left the courtyard with a happy smile.

The second aunt's expression shifted several times as she saw her son's pale face at the door. After a long while, she finally spoke, "Guang... Guangqi, did you hear everything?"

Liu Guangqi remained silent, his face deathly pale.

Auntie Er sighed and said helplessly, "Guangqi, being beautiful is actually quite good. Apart from being a bit voluptuous, you're really great in every other way. Besides, to save your father, you... are willing to sacrifice yourself? Her family has powerful connections. You'll definitely become a high-ranking official in the future, maybe even like Li Huaide. I heard that's how he became the deputy director of the steel mill. Don't you think that makes sense?"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, standing to the side, looked at Liu Guangqi with schadenfreude, their eyes full of the intention to watch a show.

Liu Guangqi looked at the three of them and slowly nodded: "Mom, I understand."

After saying that, Liu Guangqi turned around without hesitation and strode out of the courtyard.

Aunt Er sighed helplessly as she watched her eldest son's departing figure.

At this moment, Zhou Weiguo was comfortably lying on his own bed, enjoying the comfort brought by Tianzao's massage.

He chuckled as he used his senses to observe everything happening in the courtyard, finding it all quite amusing.

At the same time, a strong sense of curiosity also arose in his heart: what kind of powerful background does this so-called "King of the Gai" have that he dares to act so recklessly in Beijing, a place where every inch of land is precious and where hidden talents abound? But then he thought that this was good too. Life is already mundane, and these ups and downs will make it less boring.

Just as Zhou Weiguo was about to withdraw his senses, he subconsciously glanced at the front yard.

That glance revealed Yi Zhonghai carefully helping Zhang Cuilan into the courtyard. As soon as they entered, they ran into Yan Fugui, who was guarding the gate.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's nervous and cautious appearance, Yan Fugui was suddenly startled and thought to himself, "Good heavens, could it be that the old tree of the Yi family has actually blossomed?"

For Yan Fugui, the only thing he could be proud of in front of Yi Zhonghai was having several sons. Each time he boasted about it to Yi Zhonghai, it gave him a deep sense of satisfaction.

Seeing the two approach, Yan Fugui quickly stepped forward, asking with a face full of curiosity, "Hey, Lao Yi, what's going on here?"

Yi Zhonghai forced himself to remain calm, looked directly at Yan Fugui, and said, "Well, Old Yan, it's nothing, it's just that my Cuilan is... pregnant."

"What? She's really pregnant?" Although Yan Fugui had heard everyone talking about it before, seeing Yi Zhonghai with Zhang Cuilan, it was clear that they had gone to the hospital.

The hospital's diagnosis wouldn't lie, which left him both surprised and suspicious.

Yi Zhonghai nodded slowly, his eyes instantly reddening, and his voice trembling slightly: "Yes, Lao Yan, I, Yi Zhonghai, am really going to have a child. The doctor said it's almost three months. It's only because I'm wearing thick clothes now that I'm not showing."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Oh my, that's fantastic news! Old Yi, this is truly joyous occasion, congratulations!"

Yi Zhonghai replied with a smile, "Thanks, Lao Yan."

Yan Fugui quickly waved his hand: "Don't be so polite with me, Lao Yi! But now that you've finally had a child, you've got to throw a big feast, the brothers will have a good celebration for you!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded firmly: "Absolutely! I'll go find Zhuzi in a bit and ask him to cook a meal for us brothers. After the baby is born, I'll throw a full-month celebration, and I'll invite every single neighbor in the neighborhood!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui beamed with joy: "Alright, alright! It's settled then! By the way, Lao Yi, there's something I need to tell you. The people from the neighborhood committee came to a meeting just now and removed me from my position as the head of the neighborhood committee."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Fugui with surprise and asked, "Old Yan, you've been removed from your position as manager, and you can still laugh?"

Yan Fugui smiled without saying a word, sized up Yi Zhonghai for a while, and then explained, "I was removed from my position as the head of the household, but we've appointed three new liaison officers for our compound."

A flicker of emotion crossed Yi Zhonghai's eyes. He then turned to look at Zhang Cuilan beside him, shook his head, and said in a nonchalant tone, "It doesn't matter anymore. Let whoever wants to be it take it. I, Yi Zhonghai, have toiled my whole life, all I want is to retire peacefully. Now that Cuilan and I have a child, nothing else matters."

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
