Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

Wang Lin stared blankly at the children's learning machine. Could this be something that existed in this day and age?

If this gets discovered, they might tie Wang Lin up and take him back for dissection and research.

The alphabet and pinyin can be taught, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be taught, and fables can be taught. After seeing the capabilities of the learning machine, Wang Lin felt that it was unnecessary to do everything himself.

So Wang Lin locked the door and began teaching the two mythical beasts how to use the learning machine.

The novelty immediately attracted the interest of the two mythical beasts.

Wang Lin accompanied them as they studied, supervising their work on the ultra-thin animal model learning machine.

Most of the questions were multiple choice, and the two sisters read the questions very carefully and chose the correct answers.

Wang Lin thought that a system of rewards and punishments was a good one, so this time he rewarded the girl who got the highest score on the test with three White Rabbit milk candies.

With the incentive of the reward, Wang Beibei became extra serious when doing the questions and did not choose answers randomly.

Wang Lin, as the older brother, felt very satisfied to see his two younger sisters enjoying their studies.

After completing 100 easy questions, the one with the highest score was surprisingly the shy Wang Baobao.

Although Wang Beibei was very serious, she chose a few questions wrong, which resulted in her score being lower than Wang Baobao's.

Wang Lin placed three milk candies in the hands of the winner, Wang Baobao, and said, "Baobao, this is your reward for tonight."

Wang Baobao looked at the three milk candies and gave one to Wang Beibei. "Don't be discouraged, little sister. Do your homework better next time. This candy is for you."

Wang Beibei took the White Rabbit milk candy. She didn't expect Wang Baobao to share the candy with her. After she unwrapped the candy, she fed it to Wang Lin, saying, "Guoguo, eat the candy."

Wang Baobao was a little slow; by the time she unwrapped the candy, Wang Beibei had already fed it to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin couldn't let his sister down, so he opened his mouth and ate the candy.

Wang Baobao handed the unwrapped candy back to Wang Beibei.

Wang Beibei didn't take it with her hands; she opened her mouth and ate the candy, giggling.

Wang Baobao also smiled happily.

The two silly girls were eating candy and laughing right next to Wang Lin.

"Meow!"

The prince came over and acted cute, but the cat didn't get any candy, which hurt the cat's feelings a little.

Wang Lin didn't treat the prince like an ordinary pet cat; he took out a candy, unwrapped it, and fed it to the prince.

"Cats will eat milk candy too."

"It's so stupid! Stupid prince!"

The way the prince ate the milk candy amused the two mythical beasts.

After studying for two hours, Wang Lin let the two mythical beasts listen to a fable and take a break.

While things were peaceful and happy at Wang Lin's place, things were not so peaceful in front of He Yuzhu's house in the front yard.

When Yi Zhonghai, an old man, discovered that Qin Huairu had brought back a stranger to the courtyard, he had a bad feeling.

Over the years, Uncle Yi Zhonghai has introduced many blind dates to Sha Zhu, but those blind dates are really hard to describe. They are either as fat as pigs or as stupid as cows. None of them can catch He Yuzhu's eye.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai's plan was to find a wife for Sha Zhu who wasn't shrewd and calculating, but rather honest, reliable, and easy to control.

Beauty and intelligence cannot coexist! So, every time Yi Zhonghai asked Sha Zhu to go on a blind date, he would always make excuses to avoid it, because he really wanted to live a couple more years.

Every time Sha Zhu returned from a blind date, Yi Zhonghai would earnestly advise him that he should find a wife like this, but Sha Zhu simply wouldn't listen, and this would delay things for several more years.

Qin Jingru's appearance has given He Yuzhu a glimmer of hope, and his heart, which once beat only for the widow, has begun to bloom a second spring.

At this moment, at the door of He Yuzhu's house, Qin Huairu saw that Shazhu had not arrived yet, so she could only lead Qin Jingru back to her own home to make do for the night and wait for Shazhu to come back tomorrow.

After returning to Qin Huairu's home, Qin Jingru inquired about Wang Lin in various ways.

Qin Huairu was getting annoyed by the questions, so she warned Qin Jingru, "Jingru, stop thinking about this. Wang Lin has high standards. Just marry Sha Zhu and live a good life."

Qin Jingru may seem foolish, but she is not foolish at all. When Qin Huairu returned to the village and explained the situation to her, she made up her mind that she must marry herself off in the capital this time, even if it wasn't to marry the foolish Zhu.

He Yuzhu looked almost as old as her father, so Qin Jingru would never approve of him. In order to stay at Qin Huairu's house temporarily, Qin Jingru could only pretend to be interested in He Yuzhu and try to develop a network of connections. As long as she could get in touch with Wang Lin, she would dump Qin Huairu's family.

Qin Jingru came to the city to live a good life, not to help her in-laws raise their children. Qin Jingru understood this very well.

Chapter 37 Xu Damao's Underpants Are Missing, Hospital-wide Meeting

"Ouch! Why is it so cold!"

Xu Damao's first reaction upon waking up was that he was cold, so cold. Looking down, he realized he had been tied up.

They pieced together benches to make a bed, and covered the cabbage with a cloth as a pillow.

"Stupid column!"

Xu Damao called out.

"Hmm." He Yuzhu slowly woke up.

Xu Damao shouted impatiently, "Untie me right now."

He Yuzhu casually said, "Call me Grandpa."

"Grandpa?" Xu Damao struggled a few times, but couldn't break free. He Yuzhu had tied him up too tightly.

He Yuzhu rolled over and said, "Just wait and see how those old women in our kitchen deal with you when they get here."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao immediately changed his expression and shouted, "Brother, Brother Zhu, please, I was just joking with you. I'm cold, hurry up."

He Yuzhu sat up and earnestly advised, "I'm really not trying to harm you, I'm trying to help you, really. Do you know what you did after you got drunk last night?"

Xu Damao shook his head. He was so drunk he had no recollection of what he had done.

He Yuzhu threatened, "Last night you got drunk and ran into a young woman on the wall outside. Not only did you hug her and refuse to let go, but you also took off your pants and tried to do something bad! It's lucky you ran into me, otherwise you would be a rapist right now."

Xu Damao was a little flustered. He still couldn't believe he would do such a thing while drunk. "Impossible!"

He Yuzhu put on an "believe it or not" expression and said, "I can't untie you even if you don't believe me. When those old women come, they'll show you the melon, interrogate you, and then I'll bring the girl over. We'll tie her up and parade her through the streets. That way, I can finally get my revenge."

"No, don't try to fool me." Xu Damao was really starting to panic. "This is no joke."

He Yuzhu simply said, "Believe it or not."

Xu Damao had no other choice. Thinking that discretion is the better part of valor, he opened his mouth and called out, "Master!"

He Yuzhu said with dissatisfaction, "Is this how you wish to wish your grandfather a Happy New Year? Just two words!"

Xu Damao took a deep breath, put on a smiling face, and called out, "Grandpa!"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu immediately beamed and said, "I'm really doing this for your own good."

Xu Damao discovered that his underwear was missing and asked He Yuzhu, "Where are my underwear?"

He Yuzhu feigned ignorance and said, "I really don't know. It might have fallen outside the wall last night."

Xu Damao had no choice but to put on his cotton-padded trousers first. Once he was dressed, he immediately turned hostile and said, "You idiot Zhu, you're such an idiot! You just wait! If I don't avenge this, I swear I'm not a man!"

He Yuzhu brandished a knife and threatened Xu Damao, saying, "I'll castrate you first, and I swear I'm no longer a human being."

Upon seeing He Yuzhu draw his knife, Xu Damao immediately fled.

"No underwear? Let's see how you explain this when you get home." After Xu Damao ran away, He Yuzhu picked out a pair of underwear and threw them into the stove.

"Drink in the morning, drink in the afternoon, drink at night, drink whether the wine is good or bad, just drink until you die."

When Xu Damao returned home, Lou Xiao'e kept complaining about his drinking.

Lou Xiao'e was carrying a basin to wash clothes when she suddenly realized that Xu Damao was missing a pair of underwear. She turned around and asked, "Xu Damao, where are your underwear?"

Xu Damao calmly retorted, "Isn't it inside?"

"Where are your underwear?" When Lou Xiao'e saw that Xu Damao wouldn't tell her, she immediately picked up a feather duster and started hitting him.

As He Yuzhu passed by Xu Damao's house, he heard Lou Xiao'e questioning Xu Damao inside. He smiled to himself, unaware that the matter was about to escalate.

Xu Damao was also a man, and when Lou Xiao'e hit him, he started to fight back, and the two of them actually started fighting each other.

When Wang Lin woke up, he made instant noodles for the two mythical beasts and planned to send a bowl to Lou Xiao'e. However, as soon as he got to the door, he heard the couple fighting inside. Wang Lin immediately went in to break up the fight.

Lou Xiao'e's mouth was bleeding from Xu Damao's beating, and Xu Damao wasn't much better off, his body covered in marks from being hit with a feather duster.

Wang Lin put down his bowl and immediately stepped forward to separate the two, asking, "Sister Xiao'e, Brother Da Mao, please stop."

Lou Xiao'e pointed at Xu Damao with a feather duster, her eyes filled with tears, and asked, "Where did your underwear go?"

Xu Damao also looked completely innocent; he genuinely didn't know where his underwear was.

Wang Lin knew the whole story, but he wouldn't say it. He could only suggest, "Why don't we have the old man hold a general meeting for the whole hospital?"

Xu Damao didn't clamor for a college-wide meeting this time, after all, that would be a shameful thing.

Lou Xiao'e thought Wang Lin was right. Since Xu Damao had done something wrong to her, she should let everyone in the courtyard judge the matter. She turned around and went out to find Uncle Yi Zhonghai to uphold justice.

Wang Lin didn't stop her. After Lou Xiao'e left, he earnestly advised her, "Brother Da Mao, Sister Xiao'e is really good to you. She's a rich young lady who has lowered herself to cook and do laundry for you. How can you not control her..." He didn't know what else to say, so he left it at that.

Xu Damao felt wronged. Touching the scratch marks on his face, he muttered to himself, "Something's not right! I've never lost my underwear before when I blacked out from drinking!"

Wang Lin rolled his eyes after hearing this; Xu Damao still had time to think about underwear.

At Yi Zhonghai's house, it was a rare day off, and before he could even begin to enjoy his wonderful day, Lou Xiao'e arrived, injured. She cried out to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, you have to stand up for me!"

"Hey, who did this to Lou Xiao'e? Xu Damao?" Yi Zhonghai immediately noticed the injury on her face; blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"Xiao'e, what happened? Did Xu Damao hit you?" An older woman asked Lou Xiao'e with concern, holding her hand.

Lou Xiao'e began to sob, "Xu Damao didn't come home last night. I was just about to wash his clothes when I discovered that his underwear was missing."

The fact that his underwear is missing means that Xu Damao has made a mistake.

Yi Zhonghai reassured Lou Xiao'e, saying, "Okay, I'll notify everyone to hold a general meeting of the entire hospital, and we'll interrogate him publicly."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and wiped away her tears after hearing this.

Yi Zhonghai personally went to the homes of the other two stewards and briefly explained the situation.

When Second Uncle Liu Haizhong heard that Xu Damao had made a mistake, he, who loved interrogating people about such things, immediately followed him off eagerly.

After the door-to-door notifications were completed, representatives began to arrive one after another in the front yard.

Xu Damao, one of the parties involved, also appeared accompanied by Wang Lin. However, Xu Damao did not sit with Lou Xiao'e, and the two were extremely hostile towards each other upon meeting.
