Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

【Seriously, Zhang Dabiao, are you out of your mind? Why are you yelling at a time like this?】

Indeed, Zhang Dabiao not only shouted, but also stood up and led the applause—

Damn it, you've covered both hands, what the hell are you clapping for?

Aren't you afraid the wound will reopen?

However, as soon as he made that move, all the young people, including Sha Zhu, started to applaud.

And Jia Dongxu—

Startled, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, splashing tea all over himself and screaming in pain from the heat…

And coincidentally, the direction he was kneeling in was Zhang Dabiao.

"Hey, hey, hey—it's not a holiday, Jia Dongxu, you and I are of the same generation, there's no need for such a big bow."

"I don't have money to give you a red envelope or buy you candy."

"Hahahahahahaha—"

Everyone burst into laughter—[Godfather, I'll give you a red envelope and buy you candy!]

"Zhang Dabiao, what exactly are you trying to do?" Jia Dongxu roared. He hadn't wanted this to happen today, and he was full of grievances. Moreover, when he visited Jia Zhangshi at the police station earlier, she had repeatedly told him not to fall for Yi Zhonghai's tricks!

But now he has no money to live on, and he also owes Yi Zhonghai a lot of money.

Yi Zhonghai is struggling to make ends meet, so it's only right that he pays back the money.

What if I can't pay it back?

Once we become family, we don't have to pay it back.

Therefore, Jia Dongxu, who lacked his own opinions, was easily trapped by Yi Zhonghai. He had no choice but to accept that his family had been eating cornmeal for several days and couldn't afford anything else.

The meat and candy that Bang Geng had stolen earlier had long been consumed by their family.

So, under Yi Zhonghai's coercion, he had no choice. But deep down, he was somewhat unwilling.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai also became nervous. His ultimate goal was to prevent Jia Dongxu from becoming his godfather. He couldn't do anything about the deaf old woman. Who knew when this old woman had this idea, and then everything happened at the same time.

If Jia Dongxu had no harvest, and all that was left was that Yi Zhonghai had found a godmother—

That would be a huge loss, no different from surrendering to Chiang Kai-shek in 49.

So he stood up excitedly: "Zhang Dabiao, today is a big day for all three of us. Do you really have to cause trouble at this time?"

He panicked a little because Zhang Dabiao had recorded 3 instances of retaliation, while Sha Zhu had recorded 1.

Is he about to cause trouble?

Sha Zhu scratched his head and chuckled, but something seemed off.

Why is Jia Dongxu serving tea?

Yi Zhonghai looked at Director Wang for help, and Director Wang frowned as well: "Da Biao, it's a good thing that Yi Zhonghai has recognized a godmother. If you have any objections, you can talk to me privately at the neighborhood office, okay?"

She was also afraid that Zhang Dabiao would cause trouble, mainly because that kid was too destructive.

Zhang Dabiao immediately raised his hand and spoke: "Director Wang, I guarantee we won't cause any trouble. I wholeheartedly support Yi Zhonghai recognizing the deaf old lady as his godmother, and Jia Dongxu recognizing Yi Zhonghai as his godfather. I will absolutely not stop them!"

"What?"

No one else spoke up, but Sha Zhu was surprised: "Jia Dongxu wants to recognize an old man as his godfather?"

"You're not stopping it? You're in favor?" Yi Zhonghai and the others were also stunned.

Sha Zhu was surprised: Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?

He wasn't jealous of Jia Dongxu... but he might still be a little jealous, because his father, He Daqing, abandoned him and his sister and ran off with a widow. For Sha Zhu in the past eight years, Yi Zhonghai was like a father figure to him.

And this half-father took in a godson without telling him...

In what way is Sha Zhu inferior to Jia Dongxu?

While it's not necessarily true that you have to find a godfather...

But even if you're going to acknowledge it, you have to ask me first if I'm willing, right?

Moreover, no one else knew, but Zhang Dabiao did, yet he didn't tell me, just watching me foolishly running around doing things...

I spent money and effort to get my "half-father" to take in a godson—and he didn't even tell me about it.

Why does it feel so awkward!

Silly Pillar is in an EMO...

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were surprised and puzzled. Why would Zhang Dabiao agree to something instead of causing trouble?

What's going on here?

"Zhang Dabiao, you're not lying, are you? In front of all the neighbors in the courtyard, and Director Wang is here too, you have to keep your word!" Yi Zhonghai repeatedly confirmed, he didn't want to let things fall apart at this crucial moment.

Zhang Dabiao nodded: "Absolutely agree. I have to say something about Jia Dongxu. Who's he trying to impress with that long face?"

"It's a good thing that you've recognized Yi Zhonghai as your godfather, it's a really good thing!"

"Although we don't get along, let's be fair, didn't Yi Zhonghai mentor you when you joined the factory?"

"I remember that Yi Zhonghai also arranged your marriage."

"Even the bride price was paid by Yi Zhonghai, as was the cost of the wedding banquet. He even bought your family a sewing machine."

"Whenever anything happens to your family, it's Yi Zhonghai who runs around taking care of everything."

"You ran out of food and money, and it was your master who lent it to you. Your family has never paid it back."

As Zhang Dabiao spoke, everyone whispered among themselves and nodded repeatedly, agreeing that it was indeed true.

"In this day and age, even a biological father wouldn't go to such lengths, would he?"

Everyone quickly voiced their agreement, especially the three Yan brothers and Guang Tian and Guang Fu. If Yi Zhonghai was willing to treat them the same way he treated Jia Dongxu, changing their fathers wouldn't be a bad idea.

"That's right, that's right."

"Old Jia never treated Jia Dongxu as well as Master Yi did."

"An apprentice is like half a son. Apprentices are supposed to take care of their masters in their old age and see them off when they die. If they also become godparents, it's like making the family even closer."

"With a level 7 master craftsman teaching him the craft, Jia Dongxu can be all happy."

"Master Yi is currently a Level 4 worker, but his skill level is still Level 7... However, Jia Dongxu has been a Level 1 worker for 8 years, this..."

The crowd buzzed with gossip, making Jia Dongxu feel incredibly awkward and embarrassed. Meanwhile, Sha Zhu, ignored by everyone, was also embarrassed. He felt like he didn't belong there, that he shouldn't be there, that he should be under the cart, under Master Wang's cart across the street…

No, Master Wang's cart is for hauling manure; we need to get a different one...

"So, Jia Dongxu, who are you trying to fool with that smug face? Don't be so ungrateful! You've got the kind of treatment that so many people would only dream of!"

Xu Damao originally wanted to stir up trouble for Sha Zhu, asking why Yi Zhonghai accepted Jia Dongxu but not him.

But just as he was about to speak, Zhang Dabiao stopped him.

He gave Xu Damao a look, indicating that there was more to come, and Xu Damao finally calmed down.

"Cheer up, smile! Give me a smile! Go serve tea to your godfather!" Zhang Dabiao shouted, and the neighbors, especially the young people, joined in the fun. Jia Dongxu had a frustrated look on his left cheek and a fake smile on his right. Under the encouragement of the crowd, he handed the tea to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zhang Dabiao didn't cause trouble, everything would be fine.

He squinted at Zhang Dabiao, and seeing that his behavior didn't seem fake, and that he even helped push Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly—a promising young man.

Sure enough, Zhang Dabiao just kept smiling and chatting with the young people around him, without making any unnecessary moves.

After the ceremony, Yi Zhonghai drank tea, Jia Dongxu changed his address, and even Banggeng ran up to call him "Grandpa." Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed and even gave Banggeng a big red envelope.

In this way, he has both godson and godson, and Zhang Dabiao has become more restrained. Moreover, he publicly promised not to cause trouble. How could Yi Zhonghai not be happy?

This is the pinnacle of my life!

What a highlight!

But what he didn't see was that Zhang Dabiao was eating while grinning maliciously.

To be stabbed in the back during a time of great joy—that is true tragedy.

Wait a little longer, after we've eaten and drunk our fill, we'll get ready to unleash our full power!

Super Special Move!
