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

"Yes, officer, these three people robbed me of 25.81 yuan. For the safety of my sister and younger sister, I didn't fight back. But they didn't leave after getting the money. They even tried to bully my sister, so I ambushed them and knocked them down. But the one in the middle was about to take out a dagger and stab me, so I hit him a little harder."

Another police officer took a look and said, "Captain, two minor injuries, one with a broken arm and two broken ribs."

"Alright, the little bastards are tied up. Let's take them all back. The four of you will also come with me to the station to give your statements."

Qi Xiaoning and He Yushui were initially a little scared, since people are generally afraid of the police at this time. Yang Dalin reassured them, "It's alright. The police are for the people. They will never wrong an innocent person, nor will they let a bad person go free."

The leading police officer nodded secretly.

Yang Dalin deliberately flattered the other party to prevent the three thugs from having any background and to avoid the matter being blown out of proportion.

After all, bicycles are still a relatively expensive asset for most families.

The other party consisted of several teenagers, around seventeen or eighteen years old, who were given two bicycles to ride around on; they might have some connections.

Didn't you see Yan Bugui later treating a second-hand bicycle like a treasure?

Of course, there are at least several hundred thousand bicycles in Beijing now, so it's not that rare.

However, ordinary people are still reluctant to buy them.

Yang Dalin placed the items he had bought on the other person's bicycle.

Pushing the two carts, they followed the police officers to the station.

When they arrived at the station, the captain took their statements.

The team leader's surname is also Yang, and he is a former demobilized soldier.

He couldn't tolerate any nonsense, so after Yang Dalin carefully explained everything,

Captain Yang understood immediately that this kid was a clever and capable character. He first feigned weakness, then launched a surprise attack, breaking the arm of the most dangerous opponent and rendering him unable to harm them.

This kid is something else; Captain Yang admires him.

After he received information about the four families from his teammates.

Captain Yang had no choice but to abandon his idea of ​​recruiting Yang Dalin into the temporary security patrol team.

These days, a job opening is so hard to come by.

Captain Yang didn't have any good ideas either.

Yang Dalin is a refugee who came here with a clean background, but unfortunately he doesn't have a household registration yet. He is currently staying at the home of Qi Yulan, a logistics worker in Jiaodaokou Subdistrict.

This child has had a tough journey.

He then looked at the information about Qi Yanhua and Qi Xiaoning's family.

Captain Yang frowned as he looked at the handwriting in the section for their fathers, but didn't press further.

And the father section of He Yushui's profile is also hard to describe. He abandoned his child and went to Baocheng with a widow. What kind of nonsense is this?

The facts were quickly clarified: the three on the other side were detained.

Yang Dalin also hinted to Captain Yang to focus on investigating the kid with the spike, whose eyes looked like he had killed someone.

Captain Yang asked Yang Dalin how he knew, and Yang Dalin said that he had fled along the way and had survived by the skin of his teeth, and had seen him on the road.

In the afternoon, Qi Yulan picked up the four people. When Qi Yulan received the notification, she was startled.

I was relieved to see that all the children were alright.

Yang Dalin returned the money directly to him. Unlike in later times, it wouldn't be used as evidence and would only be returned if the court ruled in his favor.

The police station registered it directly, took a photo after paying, and then returned it to Yang Dalin.

Twenty-odd yuan is a lot; it's equivalent to an average person's monthly salary.

Captain Yang said the three people wouldn't be given lenient sentences, as they even had the intention to kill someone.

On the way home, Yang Dalin repeatedly reassured Aunt Qi, telling her not to worry.

She also said that she originally only wanted to pay them off, but they wanted to bully Sister Yan, so she suddenly took action.

Aunt Yulan also knew that Yang Dalin did the right thing.

Two fists can't beat four hands, especially when facing a clueless thug like this.

Survival is the top priority, because these teenagers are most prone to impulsiveness and might stab someone at the slightest provocation.

In his previous life, when Yang Dalin was in middle school, a classmate who sat behind him brought a dagger from home to school on a Sunday night.

At that time, Yang Dalin's township middle school was a boarding school. They had one day off per week, went home on Saturday afternoon, returned to school on Sunday afternoon, and attended evening self-study sessions.

Yang Dalin played with it for a while, but that night, that classmate used the dagger to stab someone from another class.

It was just such a coincidence, and so casually.

So why did Yang Dalin give the money in the first place? No matter what, he wanted to lull his opponent into a false sense of security first.

These juvenile delinquents are most prone to impulsive behavior and disregard for consequences.

When He Yushui got home, her brother Shazhu hadn't returned yet, and He Yushui was also frightened by what she had seen today.

Aunt Qi didn't let He Yushui go home first.

I sat at their house for a while.

Yang Dalin would help Aunt Yulan repair chairs, tables, and other items when he had free time.

Yang Dalin has practically tinkered with all the broken furniture in the house.

Reinforce what needs to be reinforced, and repair what needs to be repaired.

Don't even mention that men are better at these kinds of jobs than women.

When Aunt Qi saw that Yang Dalin had spent money to buy things for both of his daughters, while he hadn't bought anything for himself, she almost beat them up.

If it weren't for the rain, Qi Xiaoning would definitely have been dealt with.

This time, Qi Xiaoning realized how good it was to have an older brother.

Hiding behind Yang Dalin, she cried out, "Brother, look at your aunt! She's going to hit me! She's sexist! You have to stop her!"

These words left everyone speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Aunt Qi was blocked by Yang Dalin several times, and she had no choice but to throw down the feather duster.

He Yushui watched this scene with envy.

As I watched, I suddenly burst into tears.

Her crying terrified everyone.

What's wrong with the child? Why is he suddenly crying?

Yang Dalin didn't know what to say, and Aunt Qi hugged He Yushui in her arms.

"What's wrong, Rain? Did those guys scare you? It's okay, they've been caught. Don't worry, we're home now!"

Besides, let's try to go out less when we're not in school; nothing will happen.

He Yushui buried her face in Aunt Yulan's arms and sobbed incessantly. Only when the tears had subsided did she finally reveal the reason.

"Auntie, I just... I just miss my mom and dad."

The scene just now, although it was Aunt Qi trying to teach Qi Xiaoning a lesson.

But He Yushui had no one to punish her, which she greatly envied.

His brother is a bit of a scatterbrain; aside from taking care of He Yushui's sleeping, eating, and dressing, he isn't very attentive to her.

Seeing what had just happened, He Yushui suddenly remembered He Daqing and her mother.

The clothes she's wearing now don't fit her very well either.

It's clearly last year's clothing; it's too small this year, and the top is even pulled down a bit.

It's probably He Yushui's skill, but it's not very good.

Aunt Qi knew the child's condition, so she still held her for a while.

He Yushui was comforted by Aunt Qi, and Aunt Qi also started to scold Shazhu along with Yushui.
