Bang Geng then came to his senses and hurriedly ran back to pack his things.

After this round of back and forth, Bang Geng has figured things out.

That house belongs to the Jia family! It was left by his grandfather to his father, Jia Dongxu, and then by his father to him.

His grandmother, Jia Zhangshi, also said that the house was his and would be left for him to use when he got married in the future.

He didn't have a girlfriend before, but now he does, and he plans to get married soon. Shouldn't this house be taken back?

So, that evening, Bang Gengzhen took Li Ping home.

Normally, if it were any other time, the police dog would have jumped out and caused trouble immediately, just like the old man did.

But recently their rebar business fell through! They even got swindled out of a sum of money, so he has no time to bother with the affairs of this courtyard.

Banggeng put his arm around Li Ping and swaggered into the courtyard.

Arriving at the central courtyard, I walked to the door of one of the small rooms and knocked: "Grandma, are you asleep?"

After being discharged from the hospital, Jia Zhangshi returned to the courtyard and continued to live in the small room.

Just then, she heard her beloved grandson knocking on the door, so she quickly put on a coat and got out of bed to open the door for Banggeng.

As soon as the door opened, Jia Zhangshi's eyes widened in surprise.

Looking at Li Ping behind Bang Geng, he was too excited to speak.

Banggeng, still a little shy, tugged at Li Ping and whispered, "Quickly call her Grandma."

Li Ping was obedient and shyly called out, "Grandma."

This "Grandma" made Jia Zhangshi very happy!

She quickly pulled them into the house. As soon as Li Ping entered, she saw the cramped little room with only a bed, a light bulb, and not even a table.

His eyes immediately revealed disdain.

Lady Jia, observing the girl's expression, knew immediately that something was wrong.

Banggeng, who has always been impatient, sat down and got straight to the point: "Grandma, this is Li Ping, my boyfriend, and we're getting married."

Li Ping almost blurted out, "Who? You want to marry me? Don't you even take a good look at yourself? You have no money, no skills, and you're just a toothpick-like guy. You're really shameless!"

But since they were tied together now, Li Ping could only go along with it for the time being, treating it as a mission.

The fact that her eldest grandson was suddenly getting married shocked Jia Zhangshi quite a bit.

Banggeng, however, didn't care about any of that and kept nagging, "Grandma, you said back then that this house would be mine when I got married. Now my mom is hogging it all, why should she?"

Then, regardless of what Jia Zhangshi thought, he said to himself, "I've made up my mind. Li Ping and I will live in the inner room, and you will live in the outer room. Let my mother go back to the countryside. She doesn't earn any money in the city, yet she controls every penny of the family's money. She's made a mess of our home. You should do something about it!"

Sending Qin Huairu back to her hometown was exactly what Jia Zhangshi wanted to hear.

Well, to put it simply, she and Qin Huairu are now locked in a life-or-death struggle!

That jinx, that vicious woman, actually wants to send her back to the countryside to retire, and wants to take over the Jia family's property all by herself!

Banggeng kept complaining to himself, saying that Li Ping's brother and sister-in-law treated her badly.

The two men only knew how to leech off her, and even kicked her out. She had nowhere else to go, so she followed him.

Jia Zhangshi secretly observed Li Ping's expression and noticed that she was just keeping her head down and occasionally wiping the corner of her eye. She began to believe her to some extent.

Another reason is that Li Ping's appearance is too deceptive.

If she looked like Chen Yan or Chen Fang, or even just like Xiao Huaihua, Jia Zhangshi would immediately be on guard.

But Li Ping's appearance was too ordinary, as inconspicuous as the dust on the roadside.

Therefore, Jia Zhangshi lowered her guard against her, which explains why the girl followed Bang Geng out of desperation.

What pretty girl would want him?

From childhood to adulthood, Banggeng's greatest skills have been stirring up trouble and spreading rumors in front of Jia Zhangshi, taking more than his share, and running rampant in this courtyard.

He's still the same now, stirring up trouble in front of Jia Zhangshi, accusing Qin Huairu of all her "good deeds".

The more Jia Zhangshi listened, the angrier she became.

Madam Jia stood up: "Let's go, let's go and have a good talk with her!"

"..."

In the dead of night, the people in the courtyard were awakened again by the noise coming from the middle courtyard.

The fat man groggily opened his eyes, moved Yu Li's legs off him, got up and put on his slippers, when he heard Chen Mengqi calling from outside: "Dad, Dad, did you hear that?"

The fat man rubbed his eyes and opened the door. He saw Chen Mengqi wearing a silk nightgown and slippers, and urged her to hurry back inside.

"Go put on your clothes and change your shoes."

Chen Mengqi obediently went back and put on a cloak and a pair of warm shoes before the fat man dragged her to watch the excitement.

Kids who grow up in courtyard houses are all like that; they love to join in the fun.

When they arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, Sha Zhu, Xiao Dang, Qin Jingru, and Xu Xiyue were also there.

As soon as Xu Xiyue saw Chen Mengqi, she clung to her, following behind her like a little tail.

Qin Jingru was gloating: "Serves her right! Let her do nothing all day."

The fat man was completely confused: "What now?"

"What happened? Let me tell you, it's quite a show! Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi have finally started a rebellion!"

"An uprising? What do you mean by that?"

Sha Zhu explained from the side, "Bang Geng came back today, and I don't know what he said to Jia Zhangshi, but the grandmother and grandson suddenly wanted Qin Huairu to move out of those two main rooms and go back to the countryside. Would Qin Huairu agree to that? That's why they started arguing!"

"That's interesting," the fat man asked again, "Any results yet?"

Sha Zhu craned his neck to take a look: "Who knows? Didn't you see that no one dared to step forward? Why don't you go and ask around, Fatty?"

The fat man glanced at Yi Zhonghai, who was also standing nearby, and said, "You should let the old man handle this."

Sha Zhu chuckled foolishly: "Do you think I'm stupid?!"

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face darkened again, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He just wanted to find someone to take care of him in his old age, so why was it so difficult?

If either Xu Damao or Fatty were willing to take care of him in his old age, he wouldn't choose Sha Zhu!

They're so stupid, it makes me angry just looking at them.

If all else fails, Fatty's brother-in-law would be fine too. He's capable and a responsible person. Yi Zhonghai likes Benleihu very much.

It's a pity that these people aren't on his side. Sigh...

After everyone had eaten some melon outside, the winners of Qin Huairu's family's food competition finally came out.

With a combination of pushing and shoving, they shoved Qin Huairu out of the room!

There was a girl with him, and Qin Huairu tried to resist countless times, but the girl always came down hard and made her completely subdued.

The people in the courtyard were all whispering, "Who is this girl? She's not someone to mess with."

Xiao Dang must be the one suffering the most.
