Lin Minjun was a little embarrassed at first, after all, she was not the owner of the house. She just couldn't stand these people making noise and disturbing other people's rest, and also affecting Lingling's high school entrance examination.

As a result, when she heard this, her mind seemed to open up all of a sudden.

Lin Minjun suddenly figured it out. She was married to Yan Li, and she was the landlord. She had even moved her household registration in, so there was no reason why she couldn't control them.

She must intervene! Why did Zhao Wei bring these dubious people into the yard? Why did he disturb others by making a noise in the middle of the night?

Lin Minjun said confidently: "The landlord can control it."

She imitated what they had said to Mrs. Xu and glanced at them. "If you don't want to be controlled, you can move out. No one will control you outside, but here the landlord has the final say. What do you think? If you keep yelling and disturbing others' rest, you can all leave."

"Forget it, let's not argue anymore, okay?" Zhao Wei quickly persuaded his friend, pulled him back, and said to Lin Minjun with a fake smile, "Let's not argue anymore, can you leave now?"

Lin Minjun turned and left.

After all this commotion, Zhao Wei's friends felt extremely disappointed and didn't even want to play cards. They got up and left one by one.

When Lin Minjun passed by the back house, she saw that Xu Saozi was still waiting, so she went over and said, "I've already told Zhao Wei not to make any noise in the future. If he makes any noise again, go tell us. This is really too much. The courtyard is for everyone to live in together, not just for him."

After comforting Mrs. Xu, Lin Minjun returned to the main house at the back, put down her bag, and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook dinner.

As a result, as soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Erwa sitting on a chair eating a bowl of noodles, which he slurped up with relish.

Lin Minjun took a closer look and found that it was covered with shredded pork with pickled mustard greens. The shredded pork was very delicious. She had been busy all day and had eaten a lot of desserts but no proper meal. Seeing Erwa eating so happily, her stomach growled.

"Sister, you're back?" Erwa raised his head from the bowl.

Lin Minjun married Yan Li, but Erwa never called her sister-in-law, only sister, even after they were married.

A brother and a sister, each with their own opinions.

Lin Minjun looked around and asked curiously, "Is your brother back? Did he make these noodles?"

Erwa shook his head and said, "No, I did it myself."

"Can you cook?" When she first saw him, he was not even as tall as the stove, let alone cooking. When Erwa stood up suddenly, Lin Minjun realized that he had suddenly grown so tall.

Erwa laughed, "I go to the restaurant every day, I've seen it all, are you hungry? I'll go cook noodles for you."

Lin Minjun sat down at the table, "Okay! Cook less, I can't finish it."

As she spoke, she remembered something and ran to the main house to take out a paper package from her bag. She opened the package and found the fragrant Yuntiao mooncakes inside.

Lin Minjun said with a smile, "The restaurant has newly made these mooncakes with Sichuan ham. You and your brother can each have one. Try them after dinner."

Erwa went to cook noodles and the noodles were served soon. There were a few chopsticks of noodles at the bottom and a topping of pickled mustard greens and shredded pork on top. He fried it himself and added a little chili. It tasted salty and spicy. Lin Minjun ate all the noodles in one breath and still felt satisfied.

She touched her belly and felt that she had gained some weight recently, which made her quite happy.

Before, she worked every day and was so tired that her legs were shaking when she went to bed, and she could not gain weight no matter how much she ate. After getting married, Yan Li prepared delicious food for her in various ways and took her out to eat. She had visibly gained more flesh on her face and her hands and feet had become stronger.

After finishing the noodles and looking up, I saw Erwa eating mooncakes. He doesn't like sweets, but he looked very happy when eating this.

"Is it delicious?" Lin Minjun asked.

Erwa: "It's delicious. I've never tasted this flavor before. The crispy crust is so fragrant."

He then asked, "By the way, sister, why did you come back so late today? Is there anything wrong with the restaurant?"

Lin Minjun pointed at the ham mooncakes and said, "Well, for the sake of studying mooncakes, I plan to make a batch of mooncakes before the Mid-Autumn Festival and package them well. If the customers find them delicious, they will come back next time."

When Erwa heard that the food was going to be sold, he ate it more carefully. After tasting it carefully, he said, "We can study the packaging carefully. It would be best if the Ruguilou name is printed on the packaging. If it is beautiful and decent, people will buy it as a gift. The more places it is given as a gift, the more famous it will be and the higher its popularity will be."

Lin Minjun had only given it a cursory thought before, and hadn't thought of this yet. She quickly took out her diary and wrote a sentence on it, "Study the mooncake packaging, make a custom gift box, and find someone to design it."

After finishing the last word, I looked up and found that Erwa had gone to wash the dishes. He is quite self-conscious now and knows how to do his homework without being urged, and his grades have been very stable.

Lin Minjun heated up some water to steam her feet, and then she got into the quilt with her feet feeling warm. She was not in a hurry to go to bed, and wanted to wait for Yan Li to come back and talk to her before going to bed.

It turned out that the quilt was too warm and I felt a little drowsy while lying there.

She didn't even know when Yan Li came back. It was only when he walked into the room that Lin Minjun opened her eyes.

She saw Yan Li changing clothes.

Lin Minjun struggled to get up, looking at the man opposite her in a daze, her mind dizzy and she didn't know what to say.

Yan Li took off his police uniform, changed into casual clothes, and looked at her with some annoyance, "Did I wake you up?"

He had moved more gently, but still managed to wake her up.

Lin Minjun was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "No."

In fact, it was the cold wind that came in when the door opened that woke her up.

Yan Li said, "You continue to sleep. I'll go wash my feet and come back."

Lin Minjun: "Have you eaten?"

She looked at her watch and it was already ten o'clock. Their unit had no more food after six o'clock in the afternoon. Even if they had dinner at six o'clock, they should have digested it by now.

"It's okay to go to sleep after dinner." Yan Li said again.

Lin Minjun was too lazy to get up to cook, so she pointed at the bag on the table and said, "There's a mooncake in it, just the right amount to fill my stomach."

After Yan Li finished cleaning up, ate the mooncakes and went to bed, Lin Minjun's sleepiness was gone. She didn't want to sleep at all. She lay in Yan Li's arms, and the two of them chatted.

Lin Minjun recalled what happened on her way home tonight and told Yan Li about it with a smile.

When she mentioned this, she was actually telling it as a joke, saying that someone was smoking in the bushes and she thought there was a fire, so she poured a glass of water over there and a person stood up from the bushes.

After that, Lin Minjun said, "The houses are all made of wood. How can you smoke in the bushes? We should put up a sign in the alley to tell people not to smoke here, and not to throw cigarette butts around. Tomorrow I will talk to the aunts in the alley and ask them to be careful. If there is a fire, it will not only be our family that suffers, but everyone's home will be gone."

Yan Li's focus was not on this. "There are not many people smoking in the alley, and those who do smoke know not to throw cigarettes around. It must be someone else who smoked."

Lin Minjun nodded: "It's Zhao Wei from the back room, the guy who flirted with me when I went to see Lingling last time. I didn't notice him before, but now I see that he is quite unconscious."

She frowned, "I heard from Aunt Xu that Zhao Wei brought a lot of people back every day during this period. Sometimes they played cards, sometimes they gathered together to dance, make noises, and sometimes Aunt Xu could hear them. Moreover, many of the people he brought back were not good people, and they liked to smoke in the alleys."

"Play cards? To make money?" Yan Li asked vigilantly.

Lin Minjun: "They probably won't come. I haven't heard of any gambling. They're just playing for fun, but they like to shout at the top of their lungs."

"Are there any girls?"

Lin Minjun thought about it carefully and said, "No, I went to see it today. It was full of men and filled with smoke."

There was no money involved and no girls involved, which means they were just getting together to have fun and no crime was committed.

This situation is not easy to deal with. You can only supervise and stop the noise when you hear it. It's not annoying enough.

Moreover, Lin Minjun really didn't want to see Zhao Wei, so she mentioned it to Yan Li and asked whether they should discuss with the power supply bureau to have him move away.

Yan Li thought further.

Yan Li thought for a moment, then lowered his head and said to Lin Minjun, "Ah Jun, I was thinking before, let them move out. We are married now, and it is more convenient for us to live alone. There are always people in the yard, and some people bring back people of questionable character. I am busy at work and come back late, and it is not safe for you to come back after work."

"But the housing shortage out there is so great, they have nowhere to move to." Lin Minjun couldn't help but start thinking, how nice it would be if only she, Yan Lige and his wife, and their second child lived in such a big yard together.

She can have her own kitchen without being disturbed, the earthquake shelters in the yard can be demolished, the yard looks clean and tidy, and she can also plant plum blossoms. Erwa can also have his own study, how clean it is.

But the reality is that the old tenants have nowhere else to move to.

Yan Li looked at the window and said, "The back room is empty now. It was never rented out before. We can let them move in. It's just a matter of moving to a new place."

He went over and bit Lin Minjun's ear, "This is our home. I don't want people coming and going all the time."

So, no matter how cold a person is to others, he or she will still have possessiveness towards his or her loved one.

"Don't you want to?"

Lin Minjun felt her ears were tingling and itchy. She smiled and shook her head, "Don't come over here, it's itchy!"

She reached out and pushed it; it felt soft.

Yan Li pulled the quilt over his head, covering both himself and Lin Minjun.

His body was boiling with anger, as if he had endless rage, and the heat soon spread to Lin Minjun.

It was Sunday, a day off, so Yan Li got up early in the morning to do some cleaning. He worked very quickly, and after cleaning he took the time to go to the Housing Authority to say hello, saying that his house was no longer for rent and asked all the old tenants to move out.

At first, Lin Minjun felt that doing so was a bit hasty, as if she was deliberately trying to kick the person out. Later, when Yan Li said that they were just moving to the back room, she stopped saying anything.

After all, the couple are newly married and need privacy.

Yan Li went to say hello, and the Housing Authority responded quickly, saying that they would find someone to look for a new house, and if a new house was found, the person would be moved there.

The reply was quick, but it was as good as saying nothing.

There is a housing shortage everywhere in the northern part of the city, and construction of commercial housing has not yet begun. Every household would like to hang their children on the wall to sleep at night.

They said they were sending someone to look for a new house, but there was no news on when it would be found.

Yan Li said, "I just won't rent out the yard. The back room can still be rented out. Let the old tenants move in there. It's bigger and we can open a small door on the side for easy access."

After receiving this news, the Housing Authority communicated with the Electricity Supply Bureau. After all, the rent had to be recalculated if the dormitory was changed.

After several trips back and forth, it was finally done. The power supply bureau discussed with Yan Li and decided that as long as the old tenants agreed to move, the matter would be settled.

Yan Li found another day off and announced the news of moving while everyone was at home.

As a result, this matter encountered difficulties again.

The old tenants have lived here for decades and almost regarded this place as their own home. No one had expected that they would have to move out one day.

One reason is fear of trouble. There are too many small things in the house. Not to mention moving to the back room, even just taking a step would take many days, so no one is willing to move.

Secondly, some of them actually have an idea that if they live here for a long time, maybe their descendants will live here and occupy this place.

Now, if they are asked to move to the back house, they have to sign a new rental contract, and the ownership of the house is more clear, which makes some people unhappy.

After Yan Li announced the news of moving, no one in the yard agreed except Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu had no attachment to this house. Living here reminded her of her husband who died early, which made her upset and disgusted. She had wanted to move out a long time ago.

When he heard Yan Li suggest that the back room could be rented out, he immediately said that he wanted to move there and become a neighbor of Aunt Cao.

She also advised others, "Don't be greedy for things that are not yours. No matter how long you live in someone else's house, it still belongs to them. Why take advantage of it? It's boring if you stay there for too long. Besides, the back room is much more spacious than where you live now. What's wrong with that?"

After hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes at Aunt Xu, and some even talked about her behind her back, saying that Aunt Xu had no children and was single, so of course she agreed readily.

Mrs. Xu also disagreed to move, but she didn't want to covet other people's house.

She and her husband have lived here since they got married. They had a good relationship. After her husband died, the only memories left were here. Mrs. Xu couldn't get over it and didn't want to move out.

In short, everyone has their own reasons, and everyone says they are unwilling to move.

The courtyard house was originally the home of Yan Li and his wife. Now they don't want to rent it out and ask them to move out. This makes sense.

Everyone doesn't want to move, but they can't say it out loud, so they just laugh it off or pretend to be busy, hoping that someone will jump out and say, we just don't want to move!

I don’t know if the prayers were effective, but someone actually stepped forward to help.

"We have lived here for many years. How can we ask people to move out so suddenly? We are all very busy at work. How can we have the time to move?" It was Zhao Wei who jumped up and down and said that we couldn't move. "Besides, we have been neighbors for decades. How can we ask people to move out so quickly just after getting married?"

"It's not like we're kicking you out. We're just moving you to the back room, which is more spacious." Lin Minjun said with a frown.

Zhao Wei hid behind the crowd and looked at Lin Minjun. In fact, he was unhappy and deliberately opposed Lin Minjun. He stood up and continued to make trouble, "You said to move, so move. We live well. How much loss will we suffer if we move for no reason? You two have to compensate us."

Compensation?

Lin Minjun's eyes widened, and she thought it was funny.

He was really nice to speak up.

"This originally belonged to us. We rented it to you out of a favor. Now you don't want to rent it out anymore, and you're staying here and want us to pay you for it?" Lin Minjun couldn't believe it.

Zhao Wei had nothing to say, but he was shameless enough to stir up trouble everywhere.

With Zhao Wei jumping around and stirring up trouble, the old tenants felt that someone was taking over and they were hesitant and refused to move out.

Lin Minjun looked at Zhao Wei and was so angry that she wanted to go up and have a fight with him.

"Don't be angry. I'll take care of this." Yan Li held Lin Minjun down and put his hands behind her back to help her calm down. "Being angry is not good for your health. You go home and rest first. I'll do their work. Okay?"

Lin Minjun rolled her eyes at Zhao Wei and turned to go home. She didn't know what Yan Li would do. These people were quite unreasonable, and they couldn't just throw the things away. The situation was at a stalemate for a while.

But at that time Lin Minjun did not expect that there would be a turning point in this matter.

Before Yan Li could take any action, a turning point came.

When Lin Minjun came back from the store that day, it was already dark. She had started preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes a long time in advance, but she didn't expect that the most difficult step would be making the mooncakes.

In order to adjust the taste of the mooncakes, she stayed in the kitchen every day. As long as the restaurant was not busy, she would study the Yunnan ham mooncakes with Yu Caiping and even built a special oven in the restaurant.

During this period, people in the restaurant ate so many mooncakes that they felt like vomiting. Later, Lin Minjun not only harmed the employees in the restaurant, but also brought mooncakes to the neighbors in the alley.

The old tenant refused to give it, so who asked them to follow Zhao Wei and make trouble?

Lin Minjun came back carrying a basket of mooncakes. It was already dark, and a purple glow was rising in the west. As soon as she entered the house, she found a lot of people gathered in the back room, watching the excitement from inside and outside.

Lin Minjun took two more steps forward and heard the sound of ping-pong, as if someone was smashing something. The noise was particularly loud, and it seemed that the intention was not to smash things but to vent anger and find trouble.

She walked towards the direction of the sound, walked into the crowd, stood on tiptoe and saw Mrs. Xu standing in Zhao Wei's house, picking up a bowl and dish, and throwing it against the wall with a bang, smashing it to pieces.

Zhao Wei's house looked like it had been ransacked. There were smashed things everywhere, quilts and clothes that had been cut, and one could often hear a bang. It seemed as if something had been chopped to pieces.

Lin Minjun took a closer look and suddenly saw an axe in the corner.

Everyone gathered at the door, not daring to go in, for fear that the axe would hit them on the head.

"Oh, the closet is broken, too. The closet is completely smashed."

"That's nothing. Look at the ground and the kitchen. The coal stove is broken, there's a hole in the pot, and even the kettle is crushed."

Everyone gathered at the door and talked a lot. Every time Mrs. Xu hit the door, they cried out in surprise.

Lin Minjun looked at it for a long time without knowing what was going on. She grabbed Goudan's mother and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's going on? Why did Sister-in-law Xu want to destroy Zhao Wei's house?"

Goudan's mother turned around and saw that it was Lin Minjun. She immediately started gossiping with her, "Who knows? Xiao Xu is usually a very friendly person. I don't know what happened today. When I rushed over, he had already started smashing things. I heard them say it was because of the card game."

Another person took over and continued to explain, "It was because Zhao Wei brought people back to play cards, which affected Lingling's rest. Lingling did not do well in the exam, and she blamed Zhao Wei for it, so she came and smashed his house."

Not only the tenants in the courtyard, but even the old neighbors in the alley came and gathered at the door. They all felt that Mrs. Xu had gone too far.

Some people said, "Xiao Xu's behavior was really inappropriate. No matter what, you can't destroy someone's home. Besides, what does it have to do with others if their child doesn't do well in the exam? If others are arguing, why don't you just turn a deaf ear to them?"

"Xiao Xu's temper is getting worse and worse. He used to lose his temper easily. I think he has reached menopause." There was an old lady in the alley who couldn't sleep well at night and had a very bad temper. She went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said it was menopause. After she came back, she learned this word to everyone, saying that she was in menopause and was sick, and asked everyone to bear with her.

Others nodded and said, "It should be menopause. Isn't this taking advantage of Xiao Zhao's young age? How can people live in a house that has been destroyed like this?"

While they were discussing this, Lin Minjun saw Zhao Wei shrinking in a corner, not saying a word.

This is strange, isn't he usually the one who jumps the most happily and the highest? Why is he so quiet today?

"Okay, stop making random guesses. No one knows what's going on." Lin Minjun turned around and asked everyone to stop talking. She plucked up her courage and walked into Zhao Wei's house.

The floor was a mess, with broken dishes all over. Lin Minjun tiptoed in and pulled Mrs. Xu to talk.

She said in a gentle voice, "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just talk it out. Let me handle the noise issue. I'll talk to him. If you destroy someone's house, you have to pay for it."

Mrs. Xu's hair stood up at the roots. When she saw someone coming in, she thought it was Zhao Wei and raised her hand to hit him. But when she saw it was Lin Minjun, her eyes suddenly turned red.

She was so angry that she wanted to pick up an axe and kill Zhao Wei.

Grabbing Lin Minjun's hand, Mrs. Xu was so angry that her fingers were shaking. She said to Lin Minjun, "Zhao Wei is a beast, he is a beast, he actually misses Lingling!"
