    High-quality courtyard novels, with good ratings and a large readership, are available in many volumes. My top recommendation is "I Have Endless Resources," a rare courtyard novel that isn't overly violent. It depicts a happy life with a wife, children, and a warm bed.

    Reader note

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐The first book about courtyard houses is quite good. Over 90 points. Although there are some minor flaws, the main body is excellent. The writing is smooth, the characters are intelligent, and the characters are adept at understanding human relationships. Worth reading. ⭐⭐⭐⭐The second book deserves five stars just for the first three chapters. I've read over a hundred books, and only five are truly good, plus this one. Other books are either full of intrigue, fighting, or plotting to kill the Jia family. One book, about marrying Lou Xiao'e, shows how Lou Xiao'e raises Bang Geng into a good child. This book not only educates the child but also Qin Huairu, which is truly morally sound and addresses the problem at its root. I hope it doesn't fall apart later. ⭐⭐⭐⭐The third book has a tight plot, rigorous logic, and the male lead is intelligent and incredibly strong. The downside is that the male lead is a bit of a womanizer. He doesn't have any real feelings for Lou Xiao'e. They only meet two or three times and he gives her a few pointers. They got together before Lou Xiao'e went to Hong Kong. The male lead was only 18 and the woman was probably 25 or 26. Thirteen years later, he brings back a son to disgust his wife. In the end, the two wives get along peacefully, which is a bit disgusting. It feels like the male lead has no principles and no bottom line. Secondly, Jia Zhangshi's character is somewhat contradictory; she seems like a different person throughout. Thirdly, the ending is too rushed and doesn't explain things clearly. Overall, it's okay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The fourth book is really good. It doesn't have any grand, dramatic events; it just depicts ordinary life. However, the ending is too abrupt. It feels like there was a few more chapters that could have been written. Qin Huairu's life is too bitter, and it's not well-written. In the entire courtyard, Qin Huairu's life is the most bitter—I'm referring to the TV series. In this book, it's even more bitter. Many people say she has plenty of food and clothing, so why is she suffering? Many people don't have enough to eat or wear, but they're wrong. She lived her whole life for others, constantly calculating and living in fear. She never had a peaceful life. It was exhausting. She took care of the lives of two families all by herself. Can you imagine?
