Courtyard: The Fatty's Counterattack

Transmigrated to a parallel world, he became Fatty, the apprentice of傻柱 (Shazhu). With elderly parents above him and three sisters worrying about marriage below him, Fatty hones his culinary skills...

Chapter 114 Someone Wants to Target Xu Damao

Qin Huairu pulled her back abruptly, nearly causing her to fall: "What are you doing? What's so interesting about it? If you like it so much, you can move over there too!"

Huaihua wasn't afraid of her at all: "You want to force me to call Shazhu 'Dad' too, right?"

"you!"

Qin Huairu raised her hand to hit her, but Jia Zhangshi slammed her fist on the table in anger: "It's all because of this old woman that I'm getting in your way! Let's go, let's send Grandma back to her hometown. From now on, she can farm and grow crops with Grandma, so it will be easier for your mother to marry Sha Zhu!"

Seeing that another farce was about to unfold, Huaihua shouted irritably, "Will this ever end?! You have to put on at least two shows every year. If you keep this up, just wait until Xiaodang marries Shazhu next year!"

The locust blossoms were like knives, stabbing cruelly into Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu.

Banggeng jumped up and shouted angrily, "What are you saying!"

Huaihua wasn't even afraid of Qin Huairu, so why would she be afraid of him? "Why are you being so fierce with me? If you're so capable, go and bring Xiaodang back! Go ask her yourself who she hates the most!"

Banggeng scratched his head full of curly hair. He couldn't stay in this house for another minute, so he fled in a panic.

What Huaihua said just now was quite cruel.

Because the legal marriage age still follows the 1950 Marriage Law of my country, which stipulates that the legal marriage age is 20 for men and 18 for women.

It wasn't until the Marriage Law was amended in 1980 that the age limit was changed to no earlier than 22 for men and no earlier than 20 for women.

In other words, if Xiaodang is willing, she can get married next year...

Banggeng had just arrived in the front yard when he ran into Qin Jingru, who was coming out of the fat man's house.

"Stick? Where are you going?"

Banggeng and Qin Jingru had a good relationship, so Banggeng nodded and called out, "Auntie."

Qin Jingru asked him, "Is something wrong? If not, come visit your aunt."

Since Banggeng had nowhere else to go, he actually followed Qin Jingru.

When he passed by the Intermediate People's Court, Qin Huairu saw him again. No one in this family, big or small, gave him any peace of mind!

She quickly told Jia Zhangshi, "Bang Geng has gone to Qin Jingru's house."

Madam Jia glanced at her and said, "What's the big deal? Let him go, she's his aunt!"

Qin Huairu became anxious: "What good things can I learn from Xu Damao?"

Jia Zhangshi and Huaihua exchanged a glance, ignoring each other, which made Qin Huairu wish she could set the house on fire and take them down with her!

Qin Jingru made Banggeng a cup of tea and asked him, "I heard you haven't found a job yet?"

Banggeng nodded with difficulty: "There are too many educated youths, and countless people are watching every position."

Qin Jingru waved her hand: "Hey, don't be discouraged. You have your aunt, don't you! Yesterday, I talked to your uncle..."

Upon hearing the words "uncle-in-law," Banggeng immediately stood up!

It's common knowledge that Xu Damao tricked Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiekuang into hanging tattered shoes on Banggeng back then.

Qin Jingru said sullenly, "Look at you, you can't always get emotional whenever your aunt's husband is mentioned. Your aunt's husband stopped going against your mother a long time ago, right?"

Xu Damao is no longer going against Qin Huairu, but the problem is that Xiao Dang is going against his mother!

Bang Geng sighed helplessly. Qin Jingru, observing his expression, said, "That's more like it. I'm talking to you about something important now."

This idea had been in Qin Jingru's mind for a long time: "Look, your uncle's movie projection skills are among the best in the entire capital. No skipping, no interruptions, and no accidents in a hundred screenings. How amazing is that?"

Ever since Banggeng was accused of being a slut, he's become increasingly withdrawn. At this moment, it feels like Qin Jingru is performing a one-woman show.

But she didn't care about any of that: "I'm just asking your uncle to see if he can talk to the cinema manager and let you learn how to project movies with him. After all, we're family!"

Bang Geng was still dizzy even after he got home.

Qin Jingru is right. Once you learn how to project movies, you'll live a life of luxury. What kind of life do they lead? And look at the Jia family's daily life.

Bang Geng became more and more excited as he thought about it, and secretly made up his mind that he had to seize this opportunity.

But, this absolutely cannot be known to his mother.

In this courtyard, if we're talking about who hates Xu Damao the most right now, even Sha Zhu doesn't make the list; it has to be Qin Huairu!

If it weren't for him back then, Sha Zhu would have been forced to walk step by step into the trap she had carefully laid.

The plan was about to succeed, but it was all Xu Damao's fault that it ruined everything!

In the afternoon, Benleihu came to Fatty's house.

Seeing that Chen Yan was also there, he hesitantly called out, "Sister Yan."

Chen Yan was quite familiar with him: "What brings you here? How's your mother's health lately?"

Shi Bowen (Ben Lei Hu) always seemed a little insecure in front of Chen Yan, and said with his head down, "She's very good, thanks to you, sister."

They were talking about something that happened last winter.

Shi Bowen's mother suddenly fell ill; it was very serious, and she needed surgery.

The cost was high, so he borrowed money from all sides. But when it came down to it, all his "loyal" brothers disappeared as far away as possible.

I had no other choice but to ask the fat man for help.

As it turned out, the fat man went out to prepare a feast for someone that day, and Yu Li also took the child home.

Chen Yan was the only one at home. After hearing his request, she paid the fee for him without saying a word.

Shi Bowen still hasn't paid back this debt, so he can't hold his head up in front of Chen Yan.

Chen Yan seemed quite interested in him, pulling him aside to ask him a lot of questions.

The fat man then emerged from the inner room with a dark expression. Could it be that Second Sister has taken a liking to this boy?

Just now, Chen Mengqi kept pestering him to tell her a story, and she wouldn't take a nap if he didn't.

The fat man asked him warily, "What's wrong?"

Shi Bowen hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, let's talk somewhere else, Fatty."

After leaving the courtyard, Shi Bowen glanced around before whispering, "Yang Weimin said he has a big deal coming up, but he can't handle it all by himself. He was wondering if you, Fatty, would be interested?"

The fat man took out a cigarette and lit it for him: "Can't swallow it? Bullshit, he's afraid he can't beat them, so he's resorting to force. This kid doesn't even come in person anymore?"

Shi Bowen sighed: "You know it perfectly well."

The fat man patted him on the shoulder: "Listen to me, I'm not going, and you shouldn't get involved either. Also, tell both Dragon-Catching Tiger and Smiling Tiger that it's best not to get involved if possible."

"Even if they wanted to get involved, they couldn't. That's the second reason I came to see Fatty today."

The fat man was very puzzled: "What's wrong with them?"

"Yang Weimin got the job from someone. He'll pay Xu Damao 500 yuan if he takes his money! And if he can cripple him, he'll pay 10,000 yuan!"

The fat man gasped in shock. Who was it that was so ruthless?
