Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Early the next morning, a huge scream and shout came from the neighboring courtyard number 94.

The neighbors, who had just gotten up, all put down what they were doing and went to see what was going on.

Yi Zhonghai's house happened to be next to the neighboring courtyard, but he was too lazy to walk over and join in the fun, so he picked up the ladder next to him and set it up.

As a result, when he climbed up to see what was happening next door, his legs gave way and he fell off the ladder.

It didn't hurt, but I was really scared.

"Master, what happened? Are you hurt?" Jia Dongxu stepped forward to check on him and ask with concern.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head:

"I'm fine, but there's trouble next door!"

"Let me see!"

Unable to resist his curiosity, Jia Dongxu climbed the ladder.

"Dongxu, no..." Yi Zhonghai tried to stop him, but it was too late.

"Oh my god!" Jia Dongxu exclaimed and fell off the ladder, his face as pale as paper.

"Are you alright, Dongxu?" This time it was Yi Zhonghai's turn to ask him.

Jia Dongxu, still shaken, mechanically shook his head.

Yi Zhonghai's face was also very ugly, because he saw a woman hanging at the door, her face facing him, which was absolutely terrifying!

Just imagine how terrifying that is!

Yi Zhonghai's calves are still cramping.

After recovering for a moment, he decided to go and take a look.

Li Jiuzhou also went, and everyone's expression turned grim after seeing the situation clearly.

A middle-aged woman hanged herself from the eaves of her own house, still wearing a red floral cotton-padded jacket.

Damn it, a chill shot from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head!

The crucial point is that her face was facing outwards, not inwards; some people were already terrified.

The cause of the incident was quickly identified.

Aunt Liu, who hanged herself, committed suicide at her parents-in-law's doorstep.

We're neighbors on the same street, so I know what their situation is like.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law are abusing their daughter-in-law. Although they don't hit her, their words to her are extremely vicious.

My husband is a spineless coward, always listening to his parents. Now he sits listlessly on the steps smoking.

The three children knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

How could I not be heartbroken when my mother is gone, especially in such a way?

Unable to bear the neighbors' condemnation, the wicked old woman began pointing at the corpse and hurling insults:

"What a jerk! What's wrong with cursing you a couple of times? You even died at my doorstep. What bad luck!"

"Who are you trying to scare with those shoes and red cotton-padded jacket? Come find me tonight if you dare, and see if I'm scared, damn it!"

Sha Zhu was so angry he was practically snorting, his fists clenched tightly, he really wanted to go up and punch those two old bastards to death!

Li Jiuzhou shook his head inwardly after hearing this, thinking that people really shouldn't act like that, or they would suffer the consequences.

Li Jiuzhou clearly saw the hatred in the eyes of Aunt Liu's three children. It was karma; the two old men only had one son, and he wouldn't have a good ending.

As for Aunt Liu's man, he's not even a man anymore; he's a complete waste of space.

Sure enough, the three children went straight up and started tearing at their grandparents, shouting for their mother back.

It's heartbreaking to hear.

Soon, people from the neighborhood committee and the police station arrived, and they were also terrified when they saw the situation.

After finding out the whole story, Director Wang was furious. As a woman herself, she felt sorry for Aunt Liu.

She went up and slapped the two old men across the face several times. She couldn't stand it if she didn't get a couple of slaps!

"Oh no, the government is beating people! Good heavens!" The old woman screamed after being hit by Director Wang.

Director Wang slapped her twice more:

"Shut up, you fucking old bastard! Pack your things and get back to your hometown right now!"

"You wicked mother-in-law are not welcome in Nanluoguxiang! Immediately!"

"Otherwise, you'll go to jail!"

The wicked old woman tried to argue back, but her husband stopped her.

Given their current situation, it's no longer appropriate for the two of them to stay in the city and enjoy their lives; they'd be cursed to death by their neighbors.

Aunt Liu's eldest son, who is 12 years old, stepped forward and glared fiercely at his grandparents.

"You two better get out of here right now! You killed my mom, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist chopping you both up in the middle of the night!"

"Grandson, you..." The vicious old lady couldn't believe her grandson would say such a thing. So what if his mother died? He still had his father, grandfather, and grandmother.

Aunt Liu's eldest son's eyes still held a fierce look:

"Get out of here now, and don't ever come back. Don't even think about my dad giving you a single penny. If he dares to give me any, I'll chop him up. My mom is lonely down there; she needs someone to keep her company!"

That last sentence was deafening; everyone heard it and was incredibly surprised.

Aunt Liu's husband stopped smoking, his mind going blank.

Sha Zhu muttered something under his breath:

"Good lad, you've got guts, I like it!"

Li Jiuzhou shook his head helplessly after hearing this and whispered:

"Zhu Zi, it's fine to like someone, but don't let your sympathy get the better of you. That kid would even chop up his own father; he might chop you up too!"

"Listen to your senior brother, observe first."

Li Jiuzhou knew Sha Zhu's personality all too well; he hated evil and might just give that kid a helping hand out of a moment of compassion.

Sha Zhu fell silent after hearing his senior brother's words. Although there was a joking tone in them, he understood what he meant.

This kid has a dad who works, so he won't starve and probably won't be doing too badly.

If things really come to the point where they can't survive, Sha Zhu will definitely take action.

After all, they were neighbors; that kid had even called him "Brother Zhu" with a grin.

But there's no need for him to take any action now; he should just listen to his senior brother and observe the situation.

Soon Aunt Liu's body was taken down, and under Director Wang's supervision, her clothes were changed.

Red is so ugly.

The neighbors were unwilling to change Aunt Liu's clothes, not because they really didn't want to, but because they were afraid.

Its tongue is so long that it takes a lot of courage to even glance at it.

When Director Wang made this request, all the women present rolled their eyes at her.

Changing clothes?

If you're so capable, then you do it! What are you barking about like a dog?

Sure enough, when the neighbors objected, Director Wang actually took matters into his own hands.

She carried Aunt Liu's body into the house.

Director Wang is truly fearless; he's a veteran of the battlefield, and his tongue is incredibly long—this is nothing compared to what he's done.

She'd seen plenty of people with half their heads splattered with blood, so what was there to be afraid of!

Finally, a few staff members from the neighborhood committee went in to help.

Li Jiuzhou was glad that his wife was in postpartum confinement, otherwise he probably would have had to go in there too.

Inside the house, Director Wang frowned as he looked at Aunt Liu, who had died with her eyes wide open and her tongue lolling out.

Under the watchful eyes of several women from the neighborhood committee, Director Wang made a move.

She grabbed Aunt Liu's chin, and after opening her mouth, she stuffed her tongue inside.

Then, with a flick of his right hand, he made Aunt Liu close her eyes.

Several women from the neighborhood committee were trembling with fear as they watched, some even clenching their legs together because they felt the urge to urinate.

The result was that his tongue was stuffed in, and his eyes were wide open. Director Wang tried to stroke him several times but failed.

This greatly angered Director Wang:

"Liu Lan, don't push your luck! Close your eyes right now, who are you trying to scare!"

"Uh..." Several street office staff felt their throats tighten, they were really about to pee, it was too damn scary.

At this moment, Director Wang's tone suddenly softened:

"Liu Lan, I know you're resentful. Don't worry, as long as I'm still working at this neighborhood office, I won't let your children be bullied."

"I've sent your wicked in-laws back to the countryside too, so you can rest easy!"

As she finished speaking, she gently stroked Aunt Liu's eyes again, and this time she closed them completely.

Then Director Wang stared at his subordinates, his voice filled with authority:

"Why are you all staring at me? Go change her clothes! What are you afraid of with me here? I can even pin her down if she jumps!"

"Yes, yes, Director, we're coming right away." After Director Wang's actions, they weren't so afraid anymore.

After they got to work, Director Wang chuckled. Hadn't she done enough of these little things?

She had seen even more outrageous things before, such as people's limbs actually moving under certain circumstances after death. She had even pressed on them and straightened them out.

So she wasn't bragging at all; she was telling the truth and had a big heart!
