Courtyard House: The Entire Clan's Extraordinary Marriage to Triplets, a Celestial Beauty

Bai Fengjiu was held in Li Dabiao's arms, her face still flushed from his kisses. She tilted her head up with a dazed look, curiously asking, "Master, you just said you made a fortune, what fortune? What exactly did you make a fortune from? Did you find money on the street?"

Li Dabiao released her, a smug and excited look on his face. He chuckled, "Pretty much, pretty much, not much different from finding money on the street. Feng Jiu, guess how much money I found on this trip?"

Bai Fengjiu shook her head. "My lord, how am I supposed to guess?"

Li Dabiao slowly extended one finger, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense: "Guess how much this is?"

Bai Fengjiu blinked and whispered a guess: "One piece?"

Li Dabiao rolled his eyes at her helplessly, then chuckled and flicked her forehead: "Silly wife, just guess big. It's only one yuan, why would your man be this happy?"

Bai Fengjiu's eyes widened, her tone filled with surprise: "Th-that's a hundred yuan???" In her opinion, a hundred yuan was already a huge sum of money, enough for the family to live on for a long time.

Li Dabiao shook his head, his smile widening.

Bai Fengjiu's heart tightened, and her voice trembled slightly as she tentatively asked, "One...one thousand yuan??? Honey, you...you didn't rob a bank, did you? This won't do, it's too dangerous! Even if you go, you have to take me with you, at least I can keep watch for you!"

Although Li Dabiao was touched, he still laughed heartily, gently patted her on the back, and teased her, "You silly woman, can't you talk properly! Robbing a bank is illegal, we're law-abiding citizens, would we do something like that? Most importantly, your guess is wrong, guess higher!"

Bai Fengjiu's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she stammered, "Master...Master, you...you didn't mean...ten thousand yuan, did you???? You're not going back to rob Hai Zi, are you? That would mean the execution of your entire family!"

Li Dabiao couldn't hold back any longer and slapped Bai Fengjiu on the head. "What are you thinking, you silly woman? You think you can just spout nonsense about Hai Zi? Are you out of your mind? I earned this legally and legitimately. If you say anything like that again, I'll use family discipline on you!"

Bai Fengjiu didn't feel much from the initial slap, but the mention of family discipline sent a shiver down her spine. She quickly grabbed his arm, her face full of grievance, and asked, "I...I won't say anything anymore, okay! Then...Master, how did you get so much money? It couldn't have just fallen from the sky, could it?"

Li Dabiao raised an eyebrow, a mysterious smile on his face. He pulled her to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and said with a smile, "Come, come, let's sit on the kang and talk. I'll tell you the whole story. But be warned, you can't scream in surprise, okay?"

the other side

Watching Li Dabiao's departing figure, Zhang Cuilan didn't dare to delay. She quickly walked towards the Jia family's house, and when she reached the courtyard gate, she pounded on the door: "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A slightly puzzled voice came from inside the house: "Who is it?"

"Huai Ru, open the door! It's me." Zhang Cuilan's voice was urgent, and she deliberately lowered her volume.

Qin Huairu had just finished serving Bang Geng and Jia Dongxu their meal, and the two of them were already in bed resting.

Recently, with Yi Zhonghai no longer backing him up at the factory, Jia Dongxu has been constantly harassed and harassed by the director and other workers in the workshop. He is always frowning and has a headache. Even after lying down, he can't fall asleep and is staring blankly with his eyes open.

Hearing Zhang Cuilan's voice, Qin Huairu quickly got up and opened the door, her face showing a mixture of anticipation and trepidation: "Auntie, what brings you here? By the way, can my mother-in-law and uncle... come out now?"

Zhang Cuilan quickly made a shushing gesture and lowered her voice: "Shh, let's talk inside."

Qin Huairu quickly stepped aside to let her in, then closed the door behind her. Once inside, Zhang Cuilan looked around and saw that Bang Geng and Jia Dongxu, who was pretending to be asleep, were already lying down before slowly saying, "Li Dabiao has agreed to let them go."

Qin Huairu's face stiffened at first, then lit up with surprise and joy, and she excitedly asked, "What? Really? That's wonderful!"

But her performance lasted less than two seconds before Zhang Cuilan's next words froze her instantly, leaving her completely shocked.

"However, Li Dabiao threatened us, demanding 10,000 yuan from him, otherwise he wouldn't drop the charges and would pursue charges against them for undermining the worker-peasant alliance," Zhang Cuilan said heavily, enunciating each word clearly.

Qin Huairu was completely stunned, her eyes wide open, muttering, "Ten thousand yuan???"

In her eyes, a family in the countryside can only earn a few dozen yuan a year after working hard. Ten thousand yuan is a huge sum of money that she never dared to dream of in her life.

But then, she was startled, a sense of unease rising in her heart. Could this old woman be here to ask her for money?

No, absolutely not! In the past few days, although she no longer had Sha Zhu's boxed lunches, her days were much more peaceful and comfortable without her greedy and lazy mother-in-law at home. She even secretly didn't want Jia Zhangshi to come back, so she naturally refused to take out her private savings.

In an instant, Qin Huairu put on a tearful expression, her eyes reddening, her tone full of helplessness and grievance: "Auntie, I really want to help, but you know our family's situation. We're dirt poor, and I really can't afford this money! Let alone ten thousand yuan, I can't even scrape together ten yuan. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Zhang Cuilan looked at her like this, said nothing, but gave her a deep look, her eyes filled with understanding, but she did not point it out.

When Zhang Cuilan looked at her like that, Qin Huairu felt a sudden panic. Her heart pounded: Did this old lady know that I had a secret stash of money? No, that can't be right. When I borrowed money from Shazhu and saved money, I was all alone. How could she know?

She quickly squeezed out a few more tears and explained urgently, "Auntie, I'm so sorry, you really know our family's situation. I really don't have any money, otherwise, I wouldn't have refused to help Uncle and my mother-in-law..."

Zhang Cuilan waved her hand, interrupting her, and said in a calm tone, "You don't need to bring any money. I know your family's situation, and we've already arranged the money. By the way, take me to the photo of your father-in-law, Lao Jia, I need to get something."

Qin Huairu was stunned, her face full of confusion: "Huh? My father-in-law? What are you doing with that thing from his photo?"

Zhang Cuilan nodded, her tone leaving no room for doubt: "Yes, hurry up, don't waste time, I still need to rush to raise the money."

Qin Huairu was full of doubts, but dared not ask any more questions. She could only lead Zhang Cuilan into the inner room.

Upon seeing Zhang Cuilan enter the room, Jia Dongxu could no longer maintain his pretense. He quickly sat up, his tone respectful yet curious: "Master's wife, what brings you here? Have you received any news from my master and mother?"
