Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

At this moment, Jia Dongxu's cleverness came into play. Since the matter originated from him, it was naturally up to him to resolve it.

As soon as the deaf old woman finished speaking, he knelt down in front of Old Man Tong with a thud, banging his head three times. It looked painful.

"Dad, I was wrong. I, Jia Dongxu, am not human, but I still hope you can give me a chance. I promise I will never do it again."

"The neighbors in this courtyard are all watching. If I do it again, they'll beat me to death."

Old Man Tong snorted coldly upon hearing this:

"I've already hit you and vented my anger. Kneeling before me won't help. Only my daughter forgiving you will make a difference."

"If she doesn't want to come back with you, then get a divorce, and change your grandson's surname to Tong!"

Jia Dongxu was startled upon hearing this and quickly promised to bring Tong Jie back.

After finishing his story, Old Man Tong left with his uncles and brothers.

Upon seeing this, Jia Zhangshi hurriedly chased after them and stopped them.

Old Man Tong frowned:

"My dear in-law, is there anything else?"

Jia Zhangshi said with a smile, "My dear in-laws, you've come all the way to the city, and it's almost lunchtime. I haven't cooked anything yet."

"Take this money and find a restaurant to fill your stomachs with your uncles and brothers."

Without waiting for a reply, he stuffed the money in his hand into Old Man Tong's hand.

"this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jia Zhangshi interrupted him:

"So this is how we become in-laws. Tong Jie is a good daughter-in-law; it's Dongxu who let her down."

Old Man Tong sighed:

"Okay, whatever you say, we'll be going now..."

"Take care on the road, my dear in-laws. Come visit often when you have time!"

Everyone in the courtyard witnessed how Jia Zhangshi handled the relationships between relatives, and after seeing it, they couldn't help but silently give her a thumbs up.

This time, she did a truly flawless job.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned, staring blankly at Jia Zhangshi, inwardly cursing her to death.

If you had been more reasonable earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

From the time Banggeng reached her one-month milestone, it was she who started it all. If she hadn't made a fuss, Tong Jie wouldn't have known that Dongxu had gone to a brothel.

If that were the case, none of this would have happened. Yi Zhonghai was absolutely furious.

But he felt a little better now, and he hoped that Jia Zhangshi would gradually change herself.

Only by experiencing losses can one understand where they went wrong.

At this moment, the deaf old woman spoke up appropriately:

"Alright, everyone go home now. Tell the kids at home not to say anything carelessly outside, and to stop causing trouble and headaches!"

After speaking, he walked towards the backyard with his dragon-headed cane under everyone's gaze.

Seeing that the farce was over and the deaf old woman had given a gag order, everyone had no choice but to go home.

They were too embarrassed to talk about such a shameful thing, otherwise the courtyard would really lose all face.

Just a while ago they were boasting that No. 95 Courtyard was a place with excellent feng shui, but now that this has been exposed, they themselves can't explain it.

When they got home, the women didn't give their husbands a warm welcome. They quickly finished their lunch and went out to sell vegetables.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw several elderly women carrying baskets, ready to go grocery shopping.

Naturally, they greeted each other warmly. The women at this time had an extraordinary ability to withstand pressure; it was incredibly strong.

"Yan family, what are you planning to do tonight?" Liu Haizhong's wife asked.

Yang Ruirui laughed and said, "Let's buy some mutton to stew; I'm feeling really irritable today!"

The women's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this. Yang Ruihua's words struck a chord with them. "We're also very angry!"

"Hey, Yan family, are you going to use that house in Jiuzhou in the front yard to stew mutton?"

Yang Ruihua said, "Definitely. Not only will we use it, but we'll increase the dosage today, otherwise where will I get rid of all this heat in my body?"

Upon hearing this, a group of older women became excited and started talking all at once.

"Wow, you're tough! Can your old man Yan, with his small frame, handle it?"

Yang Ruihua smiled upon hearing this:

"Why can't he hold on? Don't let my skinny appearance fool you, my old Yan has plenty of stamina."

"But I never expected he would dare to go to brothels before. Just wait, I'll teach him a lesson."

The women all gritted their teeth and said in unison:

"Yes, they should be taught a lesson."

"Let's go, let's go get some mutton!"

Qin Huairu and Fan Bingbing, who were at the back of the crowd, trembled with fear upon hearing their conversation.

After exchanging a glance, the two women knew what the other was thinking: they were going to give their men a good beating and then follow in the old woman's footsteps to cut mutton.

Can't we clean up our messes if we don't make mistakes?

Do we have to differentiate between sunny and rainy days when delivering grain to the government?

That's not true...

In the afternoon, the whole courtyard was filled with the aroma of stewed mutton, mixed with a hint of medicinal fragrance.

Yan Bugui went out in the afternoon. As soon as he pushed his cart into the front yard, he smelled a delicious aroma, and his stomach immediately started rumbling.

He smacked his lips, looked at Li Jiuzhou sitting by the door, parked the car, and went over to ask:

"Jiuzhou, did you stew mutton today? It tastes authentic, but there's a medicinal smell to it."

Li Jiuzhou offered him a cigarette and smiled:

"Uncle Yan, my family stewed mutton today, but it doesn't have that medicinal smell you mentioned."

"The smell of medicine is from your house, but there are other residents as well."

Yan Bugui was taken aback upon hearing this:

"My husband also went and bought lamb?"

"Oh my, now you're worried about me...hehe~"

Li Jiuzhou laughed along with him, but he was laughing at Yan Bugui. "You're laughing so smugly now, but wait until tonight and see if you'll still be laughing."

After chatting for a short while, Yan Bugui went home in a good mood.

In the evening, Yang Ruihua not only served stewed mutton, but also a bottle of Xifeng liquor.

Of course, the two sons ate different things; they ate food without any medicine, because it was too nourishing and might cause nosebleeds.

After the meal, Yan Bugui was so happy he was practically bubbling with delight.

As the saying goes, when people are well-fed and warm, they think of lust; when they are hungry and cold, they think of stealing.

It wasn't just him; many of the men in the courtyard were like that.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Before eight o'clock, my wife was already urging me to go wash up.

After finishing the mutton, shouldn't we at least show some appreciation?

Men who have eaten mutton all know that they will inevitably have to till a plot of land.

This is an unspoken agreement; since we've already eaten the meat, we can't leave it for nothing.

But this time they miscalculated; not only did they vomit up what they ate, they also had to pay double the price.

The Yan family... "It wasn't Ruihua, wasn't he just here?"

Yan Bugui stared at his wife in astonishment.

Yang Ruihua smiled and said:

"Once you've been here, you can't come back again. Don't worry, we've increased the dosage today, so you can plow two more rows of land."

"Oh no, I have to teach my students tomorrow," Yan Bugui said, making an excuse to refuse.

"I haven't settled accounts with you for what happened today yet. Do you think you can just let it go so easily?"

Hearing his wife say this, Yan Bugui was at a loss.

"Then...what will it take for you to give up?"

Yang Ruihua smiled:

"It's simple, just don't stop..."

"Oh my god..." Yan Bugui had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue plowing the land.

Even late at night, there was no peace and quiet in the front, middle, and back yards.

When the men woke up in the morning, they were all listless, clearly exhausted from the previous night.

Li Jiuzhou is better off; he's young and doesn't need to get up too early.

After he got up, everyone in the courtyard who was supposed to go to work went to work.

PS: Dear readers, I've written over 30 words and I have a few words to say.

I didn't set any outline; I just wrote it based on my feelings. If there's anything wrong, please point it out to me.

Thank you all for your support and recognition.

My brother's gone to cook now, this is fucking tough~
