Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

"Don't rush!"

Having witnessed the situation unfold to this point, Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a few seconds before ultimately getting involved.

"Hey, where did you take Zhou Feng's basin? Give it back first!"

"No, sir, that's my bread and butter! I can't take something that's already been taken away!"

"Then... what do you want to do?"

Qin Huairu hugged the stick and looked up, her eyes red and brimming with tears, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

When Sha Zhu saw her like this, he immediately gritted his teeth and glared at Zhou Feng, as if the two of them had a blood feud!

Xu Damao smacked his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but Lou Xiao'e grabbed his arm.

How could he get involved in something like this?

Zhou Feng, however, remained completely unmoved.

Just kidding, with Qin Huairu looking like this right now, even if she puts on a pitiful act, he won't be moved at all!

This woman has already given birth! Three children!

After all, his biggest impression of this wasn't "Full House of Love," but "Summer Palace"!

The resources were found through unofficial channels.

She looks too weathered now. After being tormented by life for so many years, she has long lost her youthful vigor and is really not Zhou Feng's type.

"Here's what we'll do. You can give me six dollars, including my enamel basin and a pot of old soup, as compensation and penalty."

Zhou Feng doesn't care about the six yuan, but the Jia family must pay the price for their actions.

Why should they be allowed to get away with stealing things?

"That's way too much!"

Jia Zhangshi's eyes widened suddenly, and Qin Huairu's tears streamed down her face.

"Six yuan...where are we, a mother and her children, going to scrape together that much money?"

"You can't pay, so it's my fault? Who told your child to steal? If you steal, you have to pay for it, that's only fair! Or we can call the police and let Uncle Hat handle it. Luckily, Comrade Bai Ling is here too, so it'll save us trouble!"

He paused deliberately, then glanced at Jia Zhangshi: "Or... if your family can't bear to send your son to juvenile detention, then send an adult to take the blame. I think Aunt Jia is just idling around all day anyway, why not take the blame for her eldest grandson?"

"Adults might be punished more severely, but at most they'll just be sent to the fence; they won't be shot."

Zhou Feng deliberately exaggerated, which really frightened Jia Zhangshi quite a bit.

"Execution? What execution! This old woman can't take that kind of torture!"

She pushed Qin Huairu with a slightly flustered gesture: "Let Huairu go! Banggeng is her son, she's young, she can handle it!"

Hearing Jia Zhangshi's somewhat flustered and incoherent words, everyone present unconsciously frowned.

So, after your grandson stole something, he doesn't have to take responsibility, and neither does the old lady like you. You're pushing all the blame onto your daughter-in-law, right?

"Zhou Feng!" Yi Zhonghai said with a stern face, "They're all neighbors, what's with all this talk about execution! Do you think you can influence this kind of thing?"

Bai Ling silently pursed her lips. If this guy was really determined to cause trouble, who knows what might happen!

"Don't even mention that, sir! Why didn't they think of their neighbors when they stole it? Since you're so considerate of neighbors, why don't you pay for their money?"

Zhou Feng silently watched his progress in passing through two doors, feeling extremely happy. With a little more effort, at this rate, he might be able to level up today!

"But we really can't come up with six yuan!"

Qin Huairu's tears streamed down her face, but Zhou Feng simply turned his head away, pretending not to see them.

"Well, I'm out of options then. My family's soup is all gone, so I definitely need an explanation. Either you give me an explanation, or I'll get Uncle Hat to help you get one!"

"It's only six yuan, damn it! Why are you ripping me off like this? I'll pay!"

Sha Zhu couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly stood up, glaring fiercely at Zhou Feng.

"Before you came, there weren't so many problems in our compound. Ever since you arrived, there have been compound-wide meetings every other day. I think you're just a bad element stirring up trouble among the masses!"

"Yes, yes, I think so too. He's a complete ingrate!"

This time, Lou Xiao'e couldn't stop Xu Damao, and he immediately caught up with Sha Zhu and started a team fight.

It was thanks to Zhou Feng that these two brothers stood on the same side for the first time in this era.
