Lin Yang was not idle at this time either.
After Jia Zhangshi left, he immediately looked at Yan Fugui and Yan Jiecheng and said, "Alas, this time I'm afraid the eldest master is going to suffer."
Yan Fugui immediately perked up upon hearing this, even though he and Yi Zhonghai were both in charge.
But the third uncle's words are never as effective as the first uncle's.
He was always a yes-man at every meeting. Although he wasn't as power-hungry as his uncle, he had gradually come to dislike Yi Zhonghai over time.
Upon hearing that Yi Zhonghai was going to suffer, even the thought of asking Lin Yang for a cigarette before leaving home vanished, and he immediately said with schadenfreude, "How could Old Yi suffer?"
Then, realizing he might have been a bit too obvious, he added, "Sigh, Old Yi was really unfair this time, making this old lady so angry."
"What else could it be? This old man is bullying this old woman like this, and her three younger brothers aren't going to take it lying down!" Lin Yang said mysteriously, "Once the old woman goes back, her brothers will make her divorce the old man!"
"Ah!" Yan Fugui said in disbelief, "Impossible! If this old lady really divorces Lao Yi, how will she live?"
Yan Jiecheng, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, she's an old woman who doesn't work. What will she eat if she gets divorced?"
Lin Yang shook his head dismissively and said:
"Have you forgotten that this old lady has a younger brother who works for the neighborhood committee? He directly told her that as soon as she gets a divorce, he'll immediately arrange a job for her!"
"As for food? That's not a problem either. This old lady's other younger brother works at the grain station! With that connection, even if we don't have food, she won't starve!"
"Even if an older woman and an older man divorce, the older man won't suffer, right?" Yan Fugui was still concerned about this point. As for whether they divorced or not, in his opinion, it had nothing to do with him.
"There's also an older woman's brother at the steel rolling mill," Lin Yang said, pointing to the Intermediate Court. "The older man is an eighth-level fitter, and so is the younger man. The older woman's brother, who works in the neighborhood, said he's going to find his older brother tonight and have him teach the older man a lesson at the factory."
"Hiss..." Yan Fugui suppressed his joy and exclaimed in surprise, "So, does that mean Lao Yi is going to get beaten up?"
"Who can say for sure?" Lin Yang shrugged. "Even an upright official can't settle family disputes. If the old man really got beaten up, there's not much we in the security department can say. After all, it was the old man who wronged the old woman, and it's normal for the younger brother to stand up for his older sister."
In fact, Lin Yang didn't care much about Yan Fugui's thoughts.
He said all this to further muddy the waters and let everyone know that the older woman was getting a divorce and that her brother was very unhappy with Yi Zhonghai.
If Yi Zhonghai really gets beaten up, will he still have the face to beg for peace with an old lady?
Are you kidding me? Do you care about the dignity of an eighth-grade fitter? Do you care about the dignity of an old man?
Although the older woman didn't say anything, Lin Yang keenly sensed a huge conflict between her and the older man.
He noticed this when he accompanied the older woman back home, and she repeatedly seemed to want to say something but then stopped herself.
After gossiping with the Yan family father and son, I noticed their expectant eyes.
Lin Yang knew they wanted him to smoke.
But Lin Yang ignored them and waved his hand before walking towards the Intermediate People's Court.
Just kidding, I'm not a spendthrift.
Even though I got my cigarettes easily, I can't just give them away so cheaply.
Watching Lin Yang's retreating figure, Yan Jiecheng turned to Yan Fugui first and said, "Dad! What are you doing out here! If you hadn't come out, Lin Yang might have given me cigarettes!"
have to.
This time, no cigarettes were distributed, and Yang Ge was demoted to Lin Yang again.
Yan Fugui looked at his son speechlessly and said, "Silly son, what are you thinking? They weren't planning to offer cigarettes this time, okay?"
He realized that it wasn't so easy to take advantage of Lin Yang.
I gave them cigarettes yesterday.
Most importantly, they did open the door for him late at night.
And what about today?
It wasn't dark yet, and the gate wasn't even closed!
They were blatantly trying to take advantage, so how could Lin Yang, with his current personality, possibly offer them a cigarette?
Having figured it out, Yan Fugui ignored his son's grumbling and hurried to share the gossip he had just overheard with the three aunts.
In any case, hearing some fresh gossip is a good thing.
Just now.
As soon as Jia Zhangshi entered the Central Courtyard, she saw Yi Zhonghai open the door, wanting to say something to her. She knew that Yi Zhonghai was likely pulling her aside, wanting her to explain to everyone.
Remembering what Qin Huairu had told her before, Jia Zhangshi immediately walked up to Yi Zhonghai and grabbed his hand tightly.
With an innocent look on his face, he said, "Old Yi, I didn't expect everyone to spread rumors about us. I don't know how to face you now."
Suddenly, Jia Zhangshi grabbed his hand, and Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened in surprise.
The situation was already complicated enough, and now that an older woman has just left home, you've brazenly grabbed my hand. It's even more complicated now.
Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Yi Zhonghai immediately reacted: "Then what are you standing there for? Quickly explain to everyone for me!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. All the neighbors in the courtyard were watching with wide-eyed amusement as Jia Zhangshi grabbed Yi Zhonghai's hand.
He kept muttering to himself:
"Good grief, he was just kicked out by an old lady, and now he's not pretending anymore? He's openly siding with Zhang Da?"
