Qianmen Street Police Station.
"Stop right there, what are you doing?"
Upon seeing Gao Yan arrive carrying one person in each hand, followed by two girls, one older and one younger, the on-duty police officer immediately questioned him.
"Officer, this is what happened...!"
Gao Yan recounted the entire incident in concise language.
After hearing this, the police officer seemed somewhat incredulous: "You really subdued them all?"
Even someone as professionally trained as him wouldn't be confident of victory against a knife-wielding assailant if he were unarmed, let alone two assailants.
"I've practiced some martial arts, and I was also a fitter at a steel rolling mill. I'm very strong!"
Gao Yan explained.
"So that's how it is!"
The police officer looked enlightened.
Half an hour later.
Gao Yan led the two sisters out of the police station.
The next morning.
Gao Yan went to work after eating.
Li Mengyao and her sister moved the items from the back room into the newly renovated side room. However, large pieces of furniture like beds were moved by Niu Dajun and his men.
After the back room was emptied, Niu Dajun and the workers quickly began renovations.
The rear-facing room is small and doesn't require much modification, so it's easy to renovate and can be completed in a maximum of two days.
After moving.
The older women and young wives in the courtyard all came to see what was so strange.
The originally empty room was converted into four parts: bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom/toilet.
Especially when they saw the bathroom with a toilet, the older women and young wives present were all filled with envy.
You should know that the public toilet outside is used by several courtyard houses in the surrounding area.
If you get up late, you'll have to queue to use the restroom.
Especially in the summer, the smell of the toilet is indescribable.
For a moment, everyone praised Li Mengyao for her good fortune, but they also felt a bit jealous and envious. They also wanted to take a shower at home and use the toilet at home!
The thoughtful young wife even went to ask Niu Dajun how much it would cost to renovate Gao Weiguo's house like this. If it wasn't too expensive, she wanted to see if her husband could also renovate their house.
Ideally, a separate restroom could be set up there!
However, after hearing Niu Dajun's quote, the young woman immediately gave up the idea.
Then.
The news that Gao Yan had spent four or five hundred yuan to renovate his house quickly spread throughout the courtyard.
"Sigh, Wei Guo was quite frugal before he got married, but he became extravagant after he got married!" Aunt Chen said with some regret.
"Exactly! If he keeps spending like this, even if his father leaves him a lot of money, it won't be enough to live on!"
"Yeah, one person earns money and three people have to spend it. That kid's hard days are yet to come!"
...
That afternoon.
Ma Weimin returned to the courtyard house first and overheard people discussing Gao Weiguo's new house. They learned that Gao Weiguo had actually installed a bathroom and toilet in his own home.
Ma Weimin felt a sense of unease.
At this moment.
Li Mengyao happened to walk out of the house.
When Ma Weimin saw Li Mengyao's appearance and figure, his eyes almost popped out. She was so beautiful! What did Gao Weiguo have that made her so special?
However, he didn't look at it much.
He quickly averted his gaze and returned home, where he found a half-empty bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) in his bedside table and began to drink it in silence.
During this time, that brat Gao Weiguo first passed the exam to become a first-level worker, and then he stumbled upon a great opportunity to marry such a beautiful wife. Now they've even renovated their house, and he's living the life of the rich and powerful.
On the other hand, he was first publicly reprimanded and punished twice by the factory, his three months' salary was deducted, and he was also demoted and had his salary reduced.
What a contrast!
Ma Weimin felt that the more he drank the spicy Erguotou, the more bitter and suffocating it became.
"Bang!"
He slammed his hand on the table and muttered under his breath, "I'm going to teach Gao Weiguo a lesson!"
However, he was not a smart person.
The only tactic they could think of was to have Gao Yan flip the ladle.
But after being reported and punished twice, he no longer dared to stir-fry.
"hey-hey!"
Suddenly, Ma Weimin thought of a plan: to hit Gao Weiguo in the back with a stick.
He might not be a match for Gao Weiguo in a direct confrontation, but he was much more confident in ambushing him from the shadows.
As the saying goes, alcohol emboldens even the most timid.
After downing half a bottle of Erguotou in one gulp, Ma Weimin decided that there was no better time than now. Since Gao Weiguo hadn't returned yet, he found a stick in the room.
Then he secretly went out and climbed over the wall to get out of the yard.
He lay in ambush on the only way back to the courtyard house, so that as long as Gao Weiguo passed by the alley, he would have a chance to strike.
Perhaps it was a stroke of luck.
Just as Ma Weimin had hidden himself, he noticed Gao Weiguo walking towards them from not far away.
Immediately, Ma Weimin gripped the wooden stick in his hand, waiting for the kid to pass by so he could give him a hard whack on the back of the head!
A minute has already passed.
Ma Weimin, who was hiding in the alley, did not see Gao Weiguo pass by.
"What happened?"
Ma Weimin quietly peeked out and looked back in the direction he had come from.
It was completely empty; there wasn't a single person in sight!
"What happened? Where did it go?"
Ma Weimin looked puzzled. Had he drunk too much and just imagined what he was seeing?
"Bang!"
Ma Weimin felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and he collapsed into the alley.
Looking at Ma Weimin lying on the ground.
Gao Yan curled his lip: "You little trash, you think you can outmaneuver your grandpa Gao with sneak attacks? You're still a bit lacking!"
