I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

Because of Liu Yuyan's anxiety, the police officers from the local station acted very quickly.

After all, they came by bicycle.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

The urgent knocking interrupted Yan Bugui and Jia Zhangshi's argument.

Upon seeing the police arrive, a large number of onlookers immediately gathered in the front yard.

They didn't know what was going on and were all talking about it.

Yang Ruihua also rushed over, extremely anxious.

She didn't know what was going on or why the police had come to her house.

Yan Jiecheng, on the other hand, stood in the crowd watching as if nothing had happened.

A neighbor asked him:

"Jiecheng, do you know what happened?"

Yan Jiecheng was very impatient:

"How would I know? I just got back too, okay?"

The two people inside heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Can't you see we're busy?"

An impatient voice came from Jia Zhangshi.

Then, Yan Bugui's voice could be faintly heard.

"Jia Zhangshi, I won't say anything about you being on top when Yi Zhonghai was around, but now that Yi Zhonghai has been imprisoned, it's my turn to be on top!"

This left outsiders somewhat puzzled.

What do you mean by "above" and "below"? Did Yi Zhonghai go in there?

That sounds so strange.

Yang Ruihua was extremely anxious outside and hurriedly called out:

"Old Yan, are you doing something bad in there? Open the door right now, the police are here to arrest you! Confess and you'll be treated leniently!"

The two men inside were startled when they heard the word "police."

Has our plan to commit fraudulent donations been exposed?

Madam Jia was so anxious that her face turned red, and she immediately hid under the table to avoid seeing it.

Yan Bugui nearly jumped up in anger. Ignoring Jia Zhangshi, he rushed over to open the door, anxiously shifting the blame to the police officer:

"Comrade, we haven't broken the law! It's all Jia Zhangshi's fault for urging me to hold a hospital fundraising meeting, but I haven't agreed yet!"

Yan Bugui, hiding under the table, immediately objected to this:

"Yan Bugui, you shameless bastard, how dare you betray me?"

"If Jia Zhangshi doesn't blame you, who else should she blame? I was just watering my plants at home, and you didn't come all this way on purpose, did you?"

Jia Zhangshi's words were no match for Yan Bugui, the Chinese language teacher; she simply couldn't win the argument.

She immediately started throwing a tantrum, unleashing her ultimate attack:

"Old Jia, Dongxu! Come on up here! I'm being bullied to death by that scheming Yan Bugui! Take him away quickly!..."

The police officers were completely bewildered by the chaotic scene.

The captain took the two men aside and carefully inquired about what had happened.

It turned out that the woman's report of uncivilized behavior did not exist, but their plan to scam money together was not a good thing.

Fortunately, nothing has happened yet.

So he gave the two of them a stern lecture and then left.

The donation plan jointly proposed by Jia Zhangshi and Yan Bugui naturally failed in its infancy.

Yan Bugui cursed Jia Zhangshi: "This brat is not worth discussing anything with!"

Jia Zhangshi scolded Yan Bugui: "You're just a cunning strategist; you're incapable of accomplishing anything great!"

Through this incident, all the birds in the yard learned the inside story of Yi Zhonghai's fundraising efforts and were filled with resentment towards the Moral Celestial Venerable.

Some beasts even tried to get some of the donations back from Jia Zhangshi, but Jia Zhangshi simply shirked responsibility and pushed all the blame onto Yi Zhonghai, a convict.

Anyway, he's in a labor camp now, so there's no way he can come back to explain.

The birds in the yard were helpless against this stubborn, unyielding creature and could only curse it behind its back.

Yan Jiefang had no idea about all the ridiculous things happening in the courtyard.

Even if they found out, they'd probably just stand by and watch.

Do you want him to handle it personally?

Totally impossible!

Unless you've eaten too much and have nothing better to do.

The three-day exam period ended quickly.

After a brief class meeting, the homeroom teacher announced that the holiday was over.

However, before leaving, she called Yan Jiefang to her office and handed him several books.

Tell him to study hard during the winter break, as there will be an assessment when he returns for the next semester.

After leaving the office, Yan Jiefang took out the books and looked at them, finding that they were all related to radio.

He didn't take it to heart; it was just a few books, he could finish reading them in no time.

As a student in the city, Yan Jiefang took a bus home that afternoon.

The bus was mostly filled with students from the North University of Technology.

People who know each other will stand together and chat.

Squad leader Li Jianjun was also from Dongcheng District, and he happened to be on the same bus as Yan Jiefang.

The two were roommates, sharing a bunk bed, and their personalities were quite compatible, so they had a good relationship.

They chatted about some interesting things that happened at school and on the basketball court, and soon arrived at the bus stop in Dongcheng District.

Li Jianjun got out of the car first, greeted Yan Jiefang, and then left.

When Yan Jiefang entered the courtyard, he found that Yan Bugui was neither guarding the gate nor on the side where the flowers were planted.

This is very unlike Yanbugui.

It's worth noting that the summer holidays at Black Sesame Elementary School start much earlier than those at vocational schools.

He now has plenty of time to stand guard at the door every day.

Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi were both at home, and they were very happy to see their second brother return.

As soon as Yan Jiedi uttered "Erguo," he knew the child wanted to beg for food.

He casually pulled out a piece of fruit candy and stuffed it into her mouth.

Yan Jiekuang helped him hang his schoolbag on the wall, and then, taking advantage of the time, began to tell him about the things that had happened in the courtyard recently.

First, there was the incident where Yan Bugui and Jia Zhangshi planned to commit fraudulent donations, but were discovered.

This incident has made all the birds in the yard look down on Yan Bugui.

I knew he was stingy and calculating, but I never expected him to get involved in such despicable things.

Yan Jiefang immediately understood why Yan Bugui was not at the gate of the courtyard.

After something like this happened, no one would give him a friendly look, let alone offer him a few scallions or a clove of garlic.

The fact that none of the birds in the yard spat on him was a testament to their kindness.

From now on, he'll never be able to get his hands on any freebies at the gate of the compound again.

Yan Jiefang felt that this was actually a good thing for him.

Does Yan Bugui lack a few scallions or a clove of garlic? Actually, he doesn't lack them at all.

With his income, he could easily disregard it.

But he just wants to fleece everyone, and he enjoys it immensely.

This is just plain shameless!

Then, Yan Jiekuang brought up another matter.

Liu Guangtian got married!

His wife, like Sha Zhu's wife, was a woman who had fled famine and came to the capital to seek refuge with relatives.

Yan Jiekuang had never seen this woman before and didn't know what she looked like or what her personality was like.

But among the bachelors in the nearby courtyards who had heard about this, many had the same idea.

No matter what, as long as you can afford it, having a wife is always better than not having one. (This writer is referring to wives in this era!)

In the evening, Yan Bugui returned from fishing, looking exhausted.

The bucket was still empty; there was nothing inside.

It seems that not being able to guard the gate and exploit the system has been quite a blow to him.

After all, that place was his regular haunt in the courtyard house.

It's just like Qin Huairu by the pool in the Central Courtyard!

There's nobody at either of those respawn points now...
