Lin Yang said, "Pay the rent."
This completely disrupted Yan Fugui's thoughts.
He didn't care about the meat or not anymore, and immediately said in an incredulous tone, "Yangzi, you're not kidding, are you?! How could Shazhu hit you? And what's wrong with you? Why do you need to rest? You look perfectly fine!"
Skipping a meal of meat is fine, but suddenly having to pay back five months' rent is more painful than having a piece of his flesh cut off!
You know, if it's three yuan a month, that's a full fifteen yuan for five months!
Lin Yang just sighed and said, "How would I know? Sha Zhu is just a fool. Besides, I only look energetic, but I'm actually feeling terrible!"
He waved his hand and said, "Alright, Third Uncle won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to cook. I still have to go door to door asking for money tonight, after all, buying all kinds of tonics is no small amount of money!"
Watching Lin Yang's departing figure.
Yan Fugui couldn't care less about continuing to snatch other people's meager treats at the door; he rushed home to discuss how to resolve the matter.
Although Lin Yang was urging him to pay the rent, Yan Fugui secretly held a grudge against Sha Zhu in his heart.
Lin Yang has such a weak personality; if it weren't for you, Sha Zhu, injuring him...
Can they even ask you to pay rent?!
Lin Yang had just entered the Intermediate People's Court at that moment.
I spotted Qin Huairu squatting by the sink washing dishes at a glance.
She was in her early twenties, the prime of her life.
Her plain cotton coat made her skin appear exceptionally fair, and her delicate face paired with her voluptuous figure made Lin Yang wonder how this white lotus flower had grown.
In this era of scarcity, not only is her figure still plump, but her skin is also so delicate and smooth.
But what impressed Lin Yang even more was...
This central courtyard sink is practically Qin Huairu's workspace.
Every time I saw Qin Huairu, she was either washing dishes or washing clothes by the sink.
It's just that the water in this sink is free; otherwise, the Jia family's monthly salary wouldn't even cover the water bill.
"Yoko's back!"
Qin Huairu, who was washing the dishes half-heartedly, immediately revealed a malicious smile and spoke with great enthusiasm when she saw Lin Yang enter the courtyard.
Lin Yang had no time to feign politeness with her.
His stomach had already started growling when he was at the supply and marketing cooperative.
No matter how beautiful Qin Huairu was, he couldn't care less.
Because all he could think about was the taste of braised pork ribs.
He nodded casually to Qin Huairu, then hurried to his front door, took out his key, opened the door, and went inside.
But he didn't know.
The reason Qin Huairu was washing dishes outside in such cold weather was because she was waiting for him!
During the meal, she brought up the old topic again, asking Jia Dongxu once more if he wanted to go to Lin Yang's house that evening to re-examine the relationship between the two families.
When Lin Yang was more docile, it was one thing for him to forcefully rent half a room.
But things are different now!
Lin Yang's personality has clearly become more assertive.
However, Jia Dongxu was in a hurry to finish his meal and go out to gamble, and didn't want to care about these things at all.
In the end, it was Jia Zhangshi who made the decision, letting Qin Huairu wash the dishes outside while waiting for Lin Yang.
Let's first see how Lin Yang treats Qin Huairu.
If they're still as enthusiastic as before, then just pretend nothing happened.
If Lin Yang's attitude clearly worsens, then we can discuss it further.
Since it was her own idea, even though Qin Huairu knew how cold it was to wash dishes outside in this weather, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out to wash the dishes.
Having tested Lin Yang's attitude, Qin Huairu didn't even bother to wash the two bowls she still had to wash, and ran back into the house with the washbasin in her hand.
"Qin Huairu, are you trying to freeze me to death?! Close the door right now!"
As soon as she stepped inside, Qin Huairu hadn't even had a chance to voice her discovery.
Jia Zhangshi, who had been holed up on the kang (a heated brick bed), started cursing at her.
However, when Madam Jia saw Qin Huairu's flustered appearance, she frowned and asked, "I just heard you call Lin Yang's name. How is it?"
"Mom..." Qin Huairu closed the door, shook her head with a bitter face, and said, "The situation is very bad. I greeted Lin Yang as usual, but his attitude was particularly cold. I think Lin Yang is holding a grudge against us!"
"What should we do then!" Jia Zhangshi was a little unsure. She put down the shoe sole she was sewing halfway through, crossed her legs, and looked at Qin Huairu, saying, "Anyway, we're not going to let you go back to this house!"
Qin Huairu looked at her mother-in-law and said tentatively, "How about we have Dongxu take a couple of bottles of wine to Lin Yang and try to build a relationship with him? Otherwise, if Lin Yang really changes his personality and takes drastic measures against Dongxu at the factory, we'll be the ones who suffer!"
"That won't do!" Jia Zhangshi, who was just as stingy as Yan Laokou, was furious when she heard that her family was to pay for wine to curry favor with Lin Yang.
He immediately shook his head vigorously, and said to Qin Huairu with a firm tone:
“Our family is so poor, and Lin Yang won’t give us a single grain of food, yet he expects us to give him alcohol? He’s dreaming!”
"But Lin Yang is a security guard after all. If he really makes things difficult for Dongxu in the factory, we'll be the ones who suffer!"
Qin Huairu felt a little helpless.
Unfortunately, Jia Zhangshi remained adamant in her disagreement.
But considering that this matter does indeed concern their son, if Lin Yang, the security guard, really resorts to force, they will be the ones who suffer.
So she ultimately decided to let Jia Dongxu decide for himself.
Of course, she definitely wouldn't spend a single penny of the money to buy the wine!
She also needs to save money to buy painkillers.
"Banggeng, go out and find your father. Tell him your grandmother has something important to discuss with him!" Jia Zhangshi casually slapped Banggeng, who was half asleep on the heated kang, and ordered him.
"Oh, oh, oh." Banggeng rubbed his head where he had been hit and reluctantly agreed.
When Bang Geng went out to find Jia Dongxu.
Lin Yang had already washed the ribs and put them into the pot, along with bulk white wine, scallions, ginger, and garlic to remove the fishy smell.
As the fire below brought the water to a boil, the aroma of meat and bones immediately filled the entire courtyard.
Skimming away the foam floating in the pot, Lin Yang didn't put the ribs away. Instead, he poured white wine, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar directly into the pot.
Finally, he took out a star anise and a piece of cinnamon from the cabinet at home.
After smelling the unique aroma of the spices, Lin Yang put them into the soup with a satisfied expression.
Using the original broth to enhance the original flavor of the meat makes it even more fragrant!
With the help of firewood, bubbles kept rising from the pot.
These bubbles also carry the aroma from the pot into the air.
Soon, the aroma of braised pork ribs wafted from every crack in Lin Yang's house to the outside of the yard.
Then it gradually spread from the central courtyard to the other two courtyards.
