The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

This shows the current shortage of supplies.

Qin Huairu deserved to be beaten for just two steamed buns.

A person can only consume about three ounces of oil per month, and even that is cottonseed oil, which can be somewhat harmful.

(At that time, people didn't care about the dangers; they were just glad they could eat it.)

I've heard that cottonseed oil can cause infertility.

Cottonseed oil contains a compound called gossypol, which has certain biological toxicity. It can reduce the activity of tadpoles, inhibit the generation of tadpoles, and even shrink tadpole nests.

Could Xu Damao have been consuming too much cottonseed oil?

That's why he can't have children, since his reproductive function is normal, right?

His family is really well-off. Xu Damao himself said in the show that one trip to the countryside was worth half a month's salary for him.

He went three or four times a month, and with his salary, that guy earned more than Yi Zhonghai in a month.

Alas, poor Xu Damao, I wonder if he grew so big because he played around in the countryside, was kicked by Sha Zhu, or ate too much cottonseed oil.

Yang Dalin finally managed to squeeze out with his three girls; there were just too many people in the place.

Yang Dalin originally wanted to buy some good food for the two sisters, but he didn't have enough coupons, so he couldn't buy many things.

This really frustrated him. Next time Yang Dalin felt he had made more money, he would try to exchange it for some tickets.

Yang Dalin thought that his two sisters would be unhappy because he hadn't bought them anything nice, but to his surprise, the two sisters and He Yushui were quite happy.

Perhaps I triggered their natural inclination to go shopping.

It doesn't matter if they receive gifts or not, the key is to let them go shopping.

Yang Dalin asked what items they could buy without tickets so he could give them gifts.

Qi Yanhua's face was flushed from squeezing. She had been getting good nutrition these past few days and looked even more beautiful. She said understandingly, "Dalin, I don't need anything."

Xiaoning clung to Yang Dalin's arm: "Brother Dalin, comic books don't need coupons, can you buy me a few?"

"Sure, why not?"

The group then went to the bookstore and bought several comic books, including "The Guerrilla on the Plain," "Chicken Feather Letter," "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," and "Dream of the Red Chamber."

The price per book wasn't high, but since Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dream of the Red Chamber were long novels with many volumes, it cost Yang Dalin less than three yuan.

Qi Xiaoning got a good scolding from her older sister.

These two dollars used to be the sisters' monthly allowance.

After being disciplined by her older sister, Qi Xiaoning became much more obedient.

Yang Dalin also thoughtfully bought Qi Xiaoning several notebooks and pencils.

You can read the comic books with He Yushui. Although He Yushui tricks Sha Zhu, Yang Dalin is not stingy with the books as Qi Xiaoning's friend.

I also bought her some notebooks and pencils.

I also spent nine yuan to buy Qi Yanhua a Hero brand fountain pen.

This touched Qi Yanhua deeply. She felt bad about spending the money, but she also liked the gift because it looked really nice.

On their way back, they encountered three hooligans.

Three boys, around seventeen or eighteen years old, rode two bicycles and blocked the four of them in a secluded alley.

The three guys weren't wearing green shirts; it's not really fashionable yet, but their attitude was still very arrogant.

The one leading the group was a tall, thin man with a face that resembled Xu Damao's—very long.

He arrogantly placed a short stick, more than a meter long, between the back of his neck and his two shoulders.

The other two had a chain in one hand and a spike in the other. The one with the spike looked very fierce.

They blocked their way in a semi-circle.

The leader said, "You bought quite a lot of things. Lend me some money. Kid, give me all your money."

Yang Dalin is not tall now, and looks like a child in front of them.

The three girls were very scared, but Yang Dalin didn't expect that Qi Yanhua would hand over what she was holding to her younger sister, carry a large bottle of soy sauce, and bravely stand with Yang Dalin.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly gentle Qi Daniu is not afraid of trouble at all.

They were quite bold, but unfortunately, they saw Yang Dalin take out all the money he had on him and hand it directly to the other party.

Seeing Yang Dalin's cowardly attitude, the other party said, "Haha, you're really on the uptake. This honey is pretty good. Why don't you come and have some fun with us?"

Qi Yanhua and the others were disappointed that Yang Dalin was such a coward.

But what Qi Yanhua didn't expect was...

Yang Dalin stepped forward slightly, blocking Qi Yanhua. She immediately reached out to push him, but Yang Dalin had already put his right hand on a brass knuckles.

With his left hand, he grabbed the outstretched hand and twisted it in the opposite direction, causing the other person to bend over. Then, with his right hand, he struck the person holding the spike on his right.

The spike is the most dangerous, so we'll definitely deal with it first.

He punched the one holding the plug, sending him flying three or four meters away. Then he raised his right foot and kicked the one he was holding in his left hand away.

Then with another spinning kick, he sent the one with the iron chain flying.

In just three seconds, the three people were knocked down before they could even react.

Yang Dalin didn't know any martial arts, but the key was that he had taken a powerful pill, which made his senses and reactions faster.

The main thing is that he's also very strong; one hit from each of them and the other person couldn't get up.

The damage was also significant; didn't you see the one who was kicked away with his right foot was already vomiting?

Not to mention he was wearing brass knuckles on his right hand. Luckily, Yang Dalin held back his strength, otherwise he might have killed his opponent with one punch.

Yang Dalin stepped forward again and kicked all of the other party's wooden sticks, forks, and chains aside.

He turned around with a smile: "Which of you three can ride a bicycle? Go to the police station and tell them that three armed men robbed us of more than twenty yuan."

The three girls were dumbfounded, never expecting things to turn out this way so quickly.

They all thought Yang Dalin was a coward, but they didn't expect him to be so powerful.

Yang Dalin walked over to them and whispered, "I deliberately feigned weakness just now. The one with the spike was too dangerous; it would have hurt your sister Yan. Then I launched a surprise attack. That way, I had a better chance of success. Do you really think I'm a coward?"

"Whoever can ride a bike, go find the nearest police officer."

The three girls nodded, understanding why Yang Dalin had been so timid at first. Suddenly, Sister Yan's eyes widened and she screamed, "Watch out!"

Yang Dalin was already on guard against his back, so he turned around and kicked him. He didn't expect that the guy with the spike, who had held back too much force earlier, could still get up and had a dagger, so he just swung it at him.

Yang Dalin used all his strength in that kick, sending his opponent flying five or six meters away.

The other person fell directly to the ground, seemingly lifeless and motionless.

Yang Dalin then turned to the side and said, "Whoever can ride a bike, hurry up and go. And add this: the other party intends to murder you."

Sister Yan was a little startled: "I, I can, I'll go."

When Qi Yanhua arrived with three policemen, the three thugs in the alley had already been tied up by Yang Dalin with their belts.

However, the three of them were beaten half to death.

The one who just stabbed someone has lost an extra arm and was dealt with the worst.

Who told this guy to stare at Yang Dalin with such a fierce look?

He was kicked away just now, and he's still swearing, saying he'll kill Yang Dalin later. Yang Dalin still has some tricks up his sleeve.

In his previous life, Yang Dalin got into many fights during junior high and high school. He knew that the worst thing about fighting was a teenager like this, who didn't know how to hold back when they hit.

So Yang Dalin first pretended to be cowardly and handed over money to the other party, and then suddenly attacked, using heavy force, intending to make the other party behave in one go.

They won't leave any future troubles. You know, taking the money and not taking the money are two different things. These guys will probably get a few more years in prison this time.

Yang Dalin clearly remembered the legal education conference in his high school in his previous life, and the true story of a man in his county who robbed five cents at the train station square and was sentenced to six years in prison.

Judging from that kid with the plunger, he probably actually did plunge it into someone.

Otherwise, they would never have that look in their eyes.

So going all out is the right thing to do.

Three policemen, each riding a bicycle with a rope attached to the back of the bike.

That's right, there aren't enough handcuffs, and many handcuffs are made of brass, which is quite expensive. Ropes are still the best option.

One can be tied into a string.

The lead officer parked his car: "Young man, not bad. Are these three the robbers?"
