Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

The neighbors watched with amusement, still discussing the groin kick that Jia Dongxu's brother-in-law had just performed.

Just now, Tong Jie's older brother almost crippled Jia Dongxu with a groin kick, but Old Man Tong was quick enough to stop him.

Jia Dongxu had already howled, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his father-in-law and a group of relatives had stopped attacking.

But seeing the gloating looks on the neighbors' faces, an inexplicable anger welled up inside me.

This is incredibly embarrassing; Jia Dongxu has completely lost face.

Especially Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, those two shameless bastards laughed the loudest and most sleazy.

From the night he was arrested, Jia Dongxu had been plagued by bad luck, including being extorted by Xu Damao and being beaten by his mother.

The pent-up frustration in his heart could no longer be contained, and he stood up and shouted at Liu Haizhong:

"Fatty Liu, Xu Damao, what are you two laughing at? You're both partly responsible for my current predicament."

"Since I'm in trouble, neither of you should expect to have an easy time either."

Holy crap!

Upon hearing Jia Dongxu's words, the smiles on Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao's faces froze.

The onlookers were also puzzled. What did Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao have to do with each other?

Yi Zhonghai was puzzled. What did his apprentice want to do?

No way, he wouldn't be thinking of...

Shaking his head, Yi Zhonghai felt that his apprentice was not that bad.

However, the subsequent developments were completely beyond his calculations.

Liu Haizhong's face was filled with anger as he pointed at Jia Dongxu and shouted:

"Jia Dongxu, your beating today is your family matter, what does it have to do with me? I'm telling you, don't bite people randomly!"

Xu Damao quickly spoke up as well:

"That's right, Dongxu-ge, it's just a beating. If you're wrong, you should admit it and stand up straight when you're being hit!"

"So what if I got beaten up by my father-in-law? It's not like I'm going to die."

"Why don't you just bow your head and admit your mistake? Why drag me and Uncle Liu into this? What grudge do we have against each other?"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, the neighbors chimed in with their own opinions:

"That's right, Dongxu. Just admit your mistake and it'll all be over. It's no big deal. We can bring your wife back tomorrow and life will go on as usual."

"Dongxu, admit your mistake. A good comrade is one who can correct his mistakes."

Jia Dongxu was getting a headache from all the noise. He figured these people were just there to laugh at him, so he yelled:

"Shut the hell up, all of you! I admit you're in the wrong!"

Jia Dongxu's outburst silenced the room for three seconds, followed by a chorus of curses from the neighbors.

"What the hell did you say? Come out and fight me one-on-one!"

"I'll fuck you to death!"

Immediately, a chorus of curses erupted, seemingly provoking public outrage.

Sha Zhu was already rolling up his sleeves when Jia Dongxu's words infuriated him. Just as someone was about to step up, he seized the opportunity and delivered a powerful dunk!

Yi Zhonghai looked at his apprentice with disbelief, thinking to himself, "This apprentice's ability to cause trouble is probably no less than his mother's!"

Indeed, two minds cannot be born from the same nest.

Old Man Tong and his uncles and brothers looked at each other in bewilderment; things seemed to have exceeded their expectations.

Although Jia Dongxu was somewhat scared, he had already spoken and couldn't take it back. However, he now knew he couldn't offend too many people, so he chose to confront them directly.

"You're all curious why I argued with my wife, right? It's simple, I went to a brothel."

"I didn't get into a fight with my coworkers when I was drunk the other day; I got arrested while visiting a brothel."

"Holy crap!" A group of neighbors couldn't believe their ears.

This is so explosive! How the hell did you say it yourself? You're amazing!

Sha Zhu was also stunned, and turned to Li Jiuzhou, saying:

"Has Senior Brother Jia Dongxu taken the wrong medicine?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuzhou shrugged:

"You're asking me? How am I supposed to know?"

Yi Zhonghai felt like dying. He stood there, closed his eyes, and didn't want to say anything. "Fine, let it all end," he thought.

Jia Dongxu continued speaking:

"My wife and I argued because of this. I admit that I, Jia Dongxu, made a mistake and am not a good husband."

"I accept my father-in-law's beatings and scoldings; I admit my mistake!"

"But I'm going to report it!"

Wow!

The neighbors all looked on with curiosity, their hearts filled with excitement.

Liu Haizhong turned pale with fright because Jia Dongxu was looking at him with a smile.

"That's Liu Haizhong. He also went to brothels, right after me!"

"He and I are brothers-in-law!"

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit..."

A group of neighbors turned their attention to Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong's wife stood next to him, looking at him in disbelief.

Liu Haizhong sensed it and quickly explained in a low voice:

"Wife, let me explain... no, let me clarify..."

Jia Dongxu's words rang out again:

"What's there to explain? What's done is done. A real man admits his mistakes and stands up straight when he's being punished, just like Xu Damao said."

"And Xu Damao, he blackmailed me for 30 yuan using information he overheard."

Jia Dongxu kept talking.

Xu Damao's legs went weak as he listened.

Liu Haizhong's wife, Wang Guilian, scolded:

"Well, I knew it! That's why you were coming home so late those days. You said you were working overtime at the factory, but it turns out you were going to brothels."

"Liu Haizhong, I underestimated you."

After she finished speaking, she started scratching and punching him.

Liu Haizhong was feeling aggrieved. In the midst of his struggle with his wife, he steeled himself and shouted:

"I also reported that Xu Fugui from the backyard had also visited brothels; I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Holy crap!" The neighbors were all dumbfounded. There was someone else?

Xu Fugui, who was initially watching the show with a smile, was now dumbfounded.

What the hell did they do to my head?

Before Xu Fugui could react, his wife immediately scratched him.

"Oh my god, honey, there's a dog barking in my bangs! It's barking like a dog! Holy crap!"

Xu Damao was completely baffled. His father had also gone to a brothel. What should he do?

Xu Fugui wasn't a good person either, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"I also reported it. Lao Yi and Yi Zhonghai went there together!"

The scene fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a violent uproar.

Yi Zhonghai was numb at this point and stood still without moving.

His wife has a good temperament, so she shouldn't have scratched Yi Zhonghai.

But since Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui's wife had already taken action, she felt she would be looked down upon if she didn't, so she let out a wail:

"Old Yi, watch me scratch you to death!"

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "Since everything's already in chaos, we might as well all die together."

"I also reported and exposed them; I even went to Yanbu in the front yard."

"You're talking nonsense, Lao Yi. I've only been here a short time. You don't have to bite like that!" Yan Bugui was furious and quickly retorted.

"That's right, Lao Yi, we've only been here for a short time!" Yan Bugui's wife, Yang Ruihua, said unhappily.

My husband is a teacher, how could he do such a thing?

Yi Zhonghai immediately replied:

"Ten years ago, in the Eight Great Hutongs, on that rainy day, July 16th, Yan Bugui, do you dare say you weren't there?"

"Although it's been ten years, I recognized you the moment you moved into the compound. Don't argue anymore, just go. A real man admits his mistakes and stands up straight when he's being punished, just like Xu Damao said!"

Xu Damao was speechless. Why the hell do you guys keep bringing me up?

Yi Zhonghai continued:

"And there's Sha Zhu..."

"coax..."

All eyes turned to Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu stared at Sha Zhu in shock, even letting go of his hand.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu was furious and shouted:

"Yi Zhonghai, are you crazy? When did I ever go to that place?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Sorry, I misspoke. There's also Sha Zhu's father, He Daqing."

"Holy crap..."

Old Man Tong and his group were speechless.

Are they here to cause trouble today?

How did this turn into a prostitution whistleblowing event?

However, it's clear that the people in this courtyard are all scoundrels, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for my daughter to marry into this place...

"You haven't been there, have you?" Bingbing said to Li Jiuzhou with a smile, her eyes very sharp.

Li Jiuzhou shuddered and quickly said:

"I swear to God, if I went there, I wouldn't live past thirty!"

"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? I believe you..." Bingbing spat and then revealed a bright smile.

Under Jia Dongxu's deliberate guidance, No. 95 Courtyard was thrown into complete chaos.

Besides Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others also brought out several other men from various families.

The courtyard was filled with the sounds of crying, beatings, and cursing.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi's voice rang out:

"Hahahaha, you people are all so dishonest, going to brothels all the time! My old Jia is the most honest one!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Fugui objected, exchanging a glance before speaking in unison:

"Old Jia from your family goes there the most!"

Jia Zhangshi launched into a tirade:

"Go to hell, what nonsense are you spouting? I'll scratch you to death if you don't!"

Xu Fugui said, "Jia Zhangshi, go out and ask around. Among the patrons, there's a guy called Young Master Jia. He's so generous and lavish. It's your old Jia!"

"You're laughing at us now? You've got more green hats on your head than anyone else!"

"If you don't believe me, ask your son, Jia Dongxu."

Madam Jia looked at Jia Dongxu with a cold gaze.

Jia Dongxu touched his nose and said:

"Mom, there is such a person as Young Master Jia, but that doesn't prove he's my father."

Xu Fugui then added another comment:

"That's your father. Your father used to be known as Young Master Jia in the courtyard. You know Jia Zhangshi yourself, so don't deceive yourself."

Old Man Tong's side was pretty much convinced that the upper beam was crooked and the lower beam was crooked too!
