Leisurely Days in the Courtyard

Returning to 1955, I began a life of lively chaos and leisure in that legendary Siheyuan. Let's see how a modern person can live their own little life by "gouging" (playing it safe/layi...

Chapter 129 Yan Long War

Lin Tian was stunned when he heard Xu Damao's words.

"What did you say?" Lin Tian asked in confusion.

Before, he always thought that Xu Damao was the one who did it. I guess everyone in the hospital suspected that Xu Damao was the one who did it.

"The last time it was Jia Dongxu who ruined Shazhu's blind date!" Xu Damao said it again.

"How did you find out?" Lin Tian asked puzzledly.

"I just happened to meet him. I originally wanted to follow Sha Zhu that day, but something happened and I was late. Then I met Jia Dongxu who asked someone to do this for me." Xu Damao said.

"That's really amazing." Lin Tian said.

"That's it." Xu Damao said.

Xu Damao thought Lin Tian was saying that the Jia family was scheming, but what Lin Tian meant was that Jia Dongxu had cheated on him.

"What do you think the Jia family wants?" Lin Tian asked.

"He wants to use this stinky cook to help his family. I guess this idea was proposed by Jia Zhang." Xu Damao said.

"Yeah." Lin Tian nodded. Although Jia Zhang seemed to be making trouble, she had a lot on her mind.

"Aren't you afraid that people in the compound will suspect you?" Lin Tian asked.

"If you want to suspect it, then suspect it. If there is evidence, I would expose this matter." Xu Damao said indifferently.

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "But it would be useless even if I told others about it at that time. There is still an old man."

"That's right." Lin Tian said.

"Haha, so this stinky cook will remain single!" Xu Damao raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Then there's no chance for Shazhu to go on blind dates next time?" Lin Tian asked.

"You can't say that. Anyway, Shazhu has been choosing people himself. Let's wait until he finds someone he likes." Xu Damao said indifferently.

Lin Tian thought about it and agreed. With Xu Damao and the Jia family watching, this would be a difficult task.

………

The partnership between Yan Fugui's family and the deaf old lady seemed to be even less smooth.

Lin Tian originally thought that this matter would go smoothly, and he would start taking care of the deaf old lady again after the old lady's leg healed.

So Lin Tian, ​​who hadn't been home for several days, just made some food in the kitchen today and prepared to eat.

Then I heard the voice from the deaf old lady: "Auntie, you cook for me and you have to taste it yourself, right?"

"I'm just worried that it won't be cooked well and you'll get sick." The third aunt said indifferently.

Lin Tian, ​​who was sitting next door, was amazed when he heard this reason...it was probably that the third aunt cooked for the deaf old lady and ate secretly, and was discovered by the deaf old lady.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense to me. I've been telling you that food has been flowing fast at home lately. How can these two not eat quickly?" said the deaf old lady angrily.

"How much more can I eat? I just took two bites." The third aunt said unconvinced.

"If I hadn't seen it, you would have finished a steamed bun, not to mention that I, the old lady, didn't see it." The deaf old lady was furious. She probably didn't expect the Yan family to be so unreliable.

"Do you call this eating one? I just tore off a piece from the side to try it." The third aunt never admitted that she had eaten it secretly.

"Hmph." The deaf old lady stopped talking and went out directly with her walking stick.

"Xiao Yi."

Lin Tian also slipped into the middle courtyard. Although his ears were more sensitive, he could not hear the hustle and bustle of the middle courtyard from the backyard.

"Old lady is here. Have you eaten?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"I came here to talk about this. Yan Fugui's family really doesn't do things this way. I give them money every month, but they still eat my food." The deaf old lady poked the crutch angrily.

"No way?" Yi Zhonghai said with some doubt.

"Why not? I just saw her eating steamed bread there with my own eyes!" said the deaf old lady.

"Then we have to talk to Yan Fugui about this." Yi Zhonghai didn't want to care and just eat. But there was nothing he could do as the deaf old lady was staring at him.

"Old lady, wait for me to find the couple from the Yan family and talk to them." Yi Zhonghai said.

"No, go and call everyone at home in the courtyard. I don't believe that such a big courtyard can't take care of an old ancestor like me." said the deaf old lady.

"This..." Yi Zhonghai hesitated.

"Go quickly!" the deaf old lady urged rudely.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to make up his mind to look for it, since it was your old lady who insisted on opening it.

"Old Liu, Old Liu." Yi Zhonghai went to knock on Liu Haizhong's door.

Liu Haizhong is very handsome now. He is Team Leader Liu in the factory, the second uncle in the yard, and the uncle at home!

Suddenly he heard Yi Zhonghai calling him Lao Liu, and Liu Haizhong's face suddenly fell.

"Is there something wrong?" Liu Haizhong said with a serious face as he opened the door.

"There is something going on. Hasn't the old lady been living with the Yan family recently? But she found out that the Yan family was eating and drinking at her house, so she asked me to come to you to help seek justice." Yi Zhonghai said.

Although Liu Haizhong looks down on Yi Zhonghai, he is still willing to seek justice if someone asks him to do so. Now is the time for the second uncle to step in.

"Liu Guangtian, where have you been?" Liu Haizhong shouted.

"Here it comes, here it comes." Liu Guangtian, who was staying in the room, was frightened when he heard Liu Haizhong calling him and immediately shouted.

"Go and gather everyone in the compound, especially the Yan couple." Liu Haizhong ordered.

"I got it." Liu Guangtian ran away after hearing this. If he didn't hurry up, Liu Haizhong would hit someone again.

Soon everyone in the big courtyard came to the middle courtyard.

"Second uncle, is everything okay? If it's nothing serious, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm almost asleep." Xu Damao said very dissatisfiedly.

"You're the only one who talks too much nonsense. Since you called everyone here, there must be something going on." Liu Haizhong scolded.

"We called everyone in the compound here today because there is something going on. Recently, the old lady has been working with the Yan family, and everyone knows about it."

"The old lady just told me that the Yan family ate and drank at her place."

Before Liu Haizhong could speak, Yi Zhonghai spoke first.

"Nonsense, our Yan family is not that kind of people at all." Yan Fugui jumped up when he heard what Yi Zhonghai said.

"Does an old lady like me need to talk nonsense?" The deaf old lady came out.

"There is no way my Yan family would do such a thing. I just took the initiative to take care of you because I saw that no one was taking care of you." Yan Fugui shouted.

"That's the old lady. I hired you for 5 dollars a month." said the deaf old lady.

"You are so bad, Yan Fugui, how dare you treat the old lady like this." Sha Zhu couldn't stand it anymore and started to make a fuss.

"How have I been kind to the old lady? Didn't I cook for her every morning and evening? Why is she accusing me so unfairly?" Yan Fugui complained.

"Humph, you know whether you are being wronged or not." said the deaf old lady.

"Anyway, I don't need the Yan family anymore." said the deaf old lady.

When the deaf old lady said this, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.
