Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Upon hearing Shen Zhishou's words, not only Yan Bugui's expression changed, but Yi Zhonghai's expression also turned ugly.

Before these rooms were allocated, they belonged to the public.

If we really take the Yan family's behavior too seriously, it would be a crime.

As the head steward of the courtyard house, he turned a blind eye to the matter, and if investigated, he would also bear some responsibility.

"Comrade Shen, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly spoke up, "You're new here and don't know the situation. This is just a temporary measure!"

"Alright, I'll have Lao Yan vacate this outbuilding right away. There's really no need to make a big deal out of it. We're all neighbors, we see each other all the time, right?"

"Master Yi, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, it's just that I don't think Teacher Yan is sincere at all!"

Shen Zhishou didn't intend to directly break ties with the people in the courtyard. Instead, he softened his tone, "I've already taken a step back, but Teacher Yan clearly just wants to drag this out!"

"Since I started working, I haven't had much free time!"

"Yes, yes, I'm busy and tired after starting work!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly followed up on Shen Zhishou's words.

Liu Haizhong chimed in, "Old Yan, you should give us a straight answer!"

"Comrade Shen, I'm so sorry, it's my fault. Don't worry, give me a day, even if it costs extra, I'll find a place!"

"That's more like it!"

Liu Haizhong wore an expression of righteous agreement.

Yi Zhonghai immediately spoke up, saying, "Comrade Xiao Shen, today is the day Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the Yan family, is hosting a banquet. Since you've come all this way, you should join us for a couple of drinks!"

"Congratulations, Teacher Yan!"

"Here, this is my gift money!"

Shen Zhishou immediately took out a dollar as a gift.

Even though he knew what kind of people the Yan family were, Shen Zhishou still generously gave them a one-yuan gift.

Yan Bugui's expression softened considerably upon seeing the one-yuan gift.

"Comrade Shen, you're too kind, you're too kind!"

"Come, come, let's take our seats!"

As expected of a cultured person, he speaks in a very refined and literary way.

"Teacher Yan, don't rush. I need to find a place to put my luggage first!"

Shen Zhishou did not rush to sit down, but instead prepared to put his luggage away first.

"Old Yi!"

Yan Bugui immediately looked at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "The only room in our courtyard that's currently empty is the one in the rain. She's staying at school for the time being, so why don't we have her stay in the rain room for now?"

"You'll have to ask Sha Zhu!"

Yan Bugui frowned. "Shazhu's on the stove!"

"If you ask me, leave your luggage in that room first, and then take it to the Intermediate People's Court after you've finished eating!"

Because of the one yuan gift he gave, Yan Bugui is now quite pleased with Shen Zhishou.

Is this appropriate?

When Shen Zhishou saw the door with the double happiness symbol pasted on it, he felt it wasn't quite appropriate, since the room was supposed to be a bridal chamber today.

In response, Yan Bugui waved his hand magnanimously and said, "What's the big deal? That house was originally allocated to you!"

"Come on, put your luggage here first!"

Yan Bugui made the final decision directly.

Seeing this, Shen Zhishou stopped arguing.

The two quickly moved their luggage over.

They say even a broken home is worth a fortune!

Shen Zhishou brought plenty of luggage with him when he went to the city. He brought clothes, bedding, pots and pans, and everything else he could. Otherwise, he would have had to spend money to buy other things. But in this era, you can't buy everything just because you have money.

Moreover, Shen Zhishou is currently penniless.

After all the belongings were moved into the back room, the once clean and tidy new house suddenly felt a bit off.

However, Yan Bugui didn't care, and Shen Zhishou cared even less.

After putting away his luggage, Shen Zhishou was led to a seat.

Beside Shen Zhishou stood the true villain Xu Damao, and Jia Dongxu, who had been hung on the wall long ago in the original story.

After Yi Zhonghai's introduction, Shen Zhishou quickly integrated into the courtyard, at least superficially.

"Xiao Shen, you work at the grain depot!"

When Jia Dongxu learned about Shen Zhishou's workplace, he was overjoyed.

"Yes, we work at the grain depot, doing manual labor to make a living. We're not like you skilled workers!"

Shen Zhishou spoke modestly.

"Wherever it is, it's all the same; it's all contributing to the country!"

Jia Dongxu waved his hands repeatedly, "Xiao Shen, to be honest, although I work at a steel rolling mill and earn quite a bit each month, you don't know, I'm the only one in my family with a ration. There are five people in my family, and we rely on my ration alone. Life is really too difficult!"

"Comrade Jia, you've really worked hard!"

"However, the situation in rural areas has improved a lot in the past two years compared to the previous two years. How come your family is doing...?"

Shen Zhishou was clearly asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Yes, that really hit Jia Dongxu where it hurts!

Jia Dongxu could only smile wryly and gulp down his drink.

Xu Damao chimed in, beaming, "Little Shen, you don't know this, Brother Dongxu is the most filial and loving husband in our neighborhood!"

"Xu Damao, shut up!"

Jia Dongxu stared wide-eyed.

Xu Damao immediately shrank back and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, I won't say anything!"

Shen Zhishou looked at Jia Dongxu, who was clearly exhausted, and didn't ask any further questions. After all, he put aside his desire to help others and respected their fate.

Jia Dongxu is willing to shoulder everything; that's his sense of responsibility!

It must be said that Sha Zhu's cooking skills are quite good.

Although the dishes prepared by Lao Yan's family were mostly vegetarian, they tasted quite delicious after Sha Zhu cooked them, and everyone ate with gusto.

Women and children ate happily.

As for the men, they ate and drank just as much, and many were already quite drunk.

Yan Jiecheng, the groom, was almost unable to stand due to the commotion caused by Xu Damao, Jia Dongxu, Shazhu, and others.

By this time, the food and wine on the table had been completely consumed, and the guests were leaving.

Shen Zhishou didn't feel anything, after all, he was born with superhuman strength, could eat a lot, and had an enormous capacity for alcohol.

Many of the drunk people were sent home with the help of Shen Zhishou.

Because of this, everyone had a good impression of Shen Zhishou, the newcomer.

After sending everyone back to their rooms, Shen Zhishou prepared to move his luggage to the central courtyard, only to find that Shazhu was also drunk and had already lay down and was fast asleep.

"Did I get tricked?"

Without the key, Shen Zhishou couldn't open the door to the side room next door.

Most importantly, even if he had the key now, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to open the door, since that room belonged to He Yushui, a girl.

Shen Zhishou could only turn back to the front yard.

We need to talk to Yan Bugui about this!

However, when he arrived at the front yard, the Yan family's gate was tightly shut.

Shen Zhishou knocked for a long time, but there was no response.

Helpless, he could only go to the back room; he had to find a place to sleep!

Yan Jiecheng was drunk, but surely Yu Li wasn't drunk too!
