Looking at Bang Geng's swollen face.

Lin Yang remembered that he had driven his mother's car last night, and since it was none of his business if this only son of the Jia family went astray, he didn't intend to continue to punish him.

Let's go!

After saying this to Banggeng, Lin Yang took the lead and walked towards the courtyard.

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, I definitely won't say that you hit him!" Banggeng said to Lin Yang with a slightly ingratiating tone.

"Even if you don't say it, I'll still say it!" Lin Yang glared at him and said, "At such a young age, you're already fighting with people for things, and you have no manners at all!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Bang Geng didn't argue back.

His grandmother, Jia Zhangshi, told him about stealing food from others at school.

So even if Lin Yang complains, at most his mother will scold him, but in the end his grandmother will stop him.

As long as Lin Yang stops hitting him, that's fine.

Just as Lin Yang expected, he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house.

Old Man Yan was squatting at the door, scanning everyone who wanted to enter the yard with his small eyes.

Upon seeing Lin Yang, his expression changed, and he instinctively wanted to leave.

However, Lin Yang immediately spoke up:

"Uncle, you're too kind! You even waited outside my door for me to pay five months' rent!"

"Just when I came back, I saw that some villagers were consigning eggs at the supply and marketing cooperative, and I was worried that I didn't have money to buy them!"

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Yan Fugui inwardly groaned.

After agreeing to pay the five months' rent yesterday, he was so distressed that he couldn't sleep well all night.

But what could he do?

Lin Yang was able to take a gun directly to the interrogation room with Sha Zhu in the factory, and he could also use a loudspeaker to deal with the deaf old lady at a hospital-wide meeting.

Then we can find a way to deal with Yan Fugui.

Although he is the third oldest man in the courtyard, and his workplace is also at the school.

However, this courtyard house still belongs to the steel rolling mill.

As a security guard at the steel mill, if Lin Yang really wanted to deal with a primary school teacher, how could he possibly resist?

"Uncle, why are you still squatting?" Lin Yang pretended not to see Yan Fugui's worried look and said with concern, "Your legs are probably numb from squatting for too long! Let me help you up!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Yan Fugui's shoulder and tried to lift him up.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Feeling the pressure on his shoulder, Yan Fugui quickly said, "It's not numb! It's not numb! It's not numb!!! Let go! I can get up myself!"

"It's not numb!" Lin Yang said with a puzzled look, "Then why did you stay squatting and not stand up just now, Uncle?"

"I'm old and my legs aren't as nimble as they used to be!" Yan Fugui said irritably.

At the same time, he muttered to himself, "Where does this kid get his strength? He probably squeezed my shoulder until it was swollen!"

He didn't dare delay any longer after saying that, and said, "You wait here, I'll get you the money right now!"

Then she hurriedly went back to her room to get the money for Lin Yang.

He realized that Lin Yang was doing it on purpose!

Upon entering the house.

Ignoring the three women who came to greet him, he went straight to where he hid his money and painfully pulled out fifteen yuan.

"Old Yan, what are you doing with that money???" The three women following behind raised their voices as soon as they saw Yan Fugui pull out so much money.

"What can I do with it!" Yan Fugui stroked the fifteen yuan note, his eyes filled with reluctance, and said in an extremely distressed tone, "It's for paying Lin Yang's rent right now!"

"Pay the rent!!!" Just like the third uncle, the third aunt, who believed that not finding money on the street was a loss, immediately frowned and said, "Are you really going to pay so much rent?"

"Otherwise what!" Yan Fugui sighed. "Things aren't like they used to be. Lin Yang's heart has turned bad! Not to mention how he dealt with Sha Zhu and the deaf old woman yesterday, just now..."

As he spoke, Yan Fugui pointed to his shoulder and said, "When I squatted down to ask someone for some scallions, ginger, and garlic, just like before, he immediately started pressuring me to pay the rent. Then, seeing that I was squatting on the ground and didn't want to move, he deliberately said that my legs were numb and grabbed my shoulder to try to pull me up! Tell me, do you think I can still pay the rent?!"

"He even pinched you!" the old woman said in disbelief. "That Lin Yang, who's so quiet you can't even fart after three blows, actually dared to hit you?"

"What do you mean, 'getting physical'!" the old man said helplessly. "Their excuse was quite good; they said they wanted to help me up!"

"Uncle, please hurry up, or I'm afraid the supply and marketing cooperative will close down!" Just then, Lin Yang urged from outside, "Also, my head is starting to ache again. If I don't get some nutrition today, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the hospital!"

Hearing Lin Yang urging him on, Yan Fugui sighed and said to the third aunt, "Alright, that's enough. This kid isn't as easy to deal with as before!"

After saying that, he looked longingly at the fifteen yuan in his hand and walked towards the door with difficulty.

Seeing Yan Fugui hesitantly walking towards the door, Lin Yang rushed in, snatched the fifteen yuan from his hand, and then shouted:

"Uncle, since you've paid the rent for the previous five months, I'll settle the bill with you later! And don't forget to pay next month's rent!"

He spoke so loudly that even the deaf old lady in the backyard could hear him.

"Is Lin Yang not stupid anymore? He even knows how to use this method to collect rent?"

The deaf old woman sat at the table, eating the porridge that an older woman had brought her, muttering something under her breath.

She doesn't owe any rent.

Although she lives alone, as a recipient of the "Five Guarantees" (a government-provided social welfare program for the elderly, disabled, and orphans), she receives a monthly government subsidy.

In addition, the old man's family would give her something every month as a token of their appreciation, so she was really not short of money.

The deaf old woman was right; Lin Yang really did have this idea.

It's to loudly announce to everyone that the Third Uncle has paid his rent, so you guys can forget about owing rent anymore.

Holding the fifteen yuan in his hand, Lin Yang ignored everything else and turned to walk towards the supply and marketing cooperative at the alley entrance.

He wasn't lying to Yan Fugui; he genuinely wanted to buy eggs from the supply and marketing cooperative.

These days, unlike in later generations, we can't just eat or drink beef, chicken breast, or milk as we please.

Eggs are one of the cheapest sources of protein.

Watching Lin Yang's retreating figure, the third aunt said with immense heartache, "What a curse! That's fifteen yuan! And Lin Yang just took it all!"

"Find Sha Zhu!!!" the third old man said viciously, "If it weren't for Sha Zhu, why would Lin Yang go to buy eggs for no reason!"

As they were talking, Banggeng walked into the Jia family home with his face swollen from Lin Yang's slap.

He had just walked in.

Jia Zhangshi immediately lost her temper.

"Bang! Who was the bastard who beat you up like this?!"

As she spoke, she ran up to Banggeng and kept touching his swollen face with her chubby hands.
