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

"Listen to me, everyone. Teacher Yan, tell me, did you accept the gift or not?"

Yan Bugui naturally wanted to keep it a secret, otherwise he would never be able to hold his head up in this courtyard.

Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai with pleading eyes: "He's an old man, no, of course not. Those were gifts from relatives, not from them."

I had my second son take it home. How could I accept a gift from someone else?

Yan Bugui was still unwilling to admit it, and even glanced at Li Jianjun's parents in a veiled manner.

Li Jianjun's father understood Yan Bugui's meaning. He also tugged at the other two families' parents, but didn't make a fuss.

Unfortunately, they have an older sister in their team who's more trouble than she's worth.

"Bullshit! This guy with glasses accepted the gifts that the three of us prepared to plead for the Qi family. He said he could help, and that we could just give him the gifts. He also said he could get a letter of understanding from the three of us at the lowest possible cost."

He also said that he was the third oldest man in the courtyard, and that his word was law.

Anyway, I don't care. If your institution accepts the gift, you have to write a letter of understanding and release my brother, otherwise...

Before she could finish speaking, the woman's mouth was covered.

This sister who was beaten by Yang Dalin is truly a good Voldemort.

This directly exposed Yan Lao's stingy nature.

No wonder the Qi family didn't receive a single gift.

Logically speaking, one shouldn't come empty-handed when pleading for leniency.

I really didn't expect that Yan Laokou would snatch all the gifts.

They're so greedy, they want to swallow an elephant!

Impressive, impressive.

Who gave Yan Bugui the courage? In the original drama, he accepted gifts from Sha Zhu but didn't introduce Ran Qiuye or mention her to her.

I was prepared to let it pass by without mentioning it in the dark or in the light.

How is this any different from those who break up other people's marriages? Their hearts are truly filthy.

Either you don't want it and just refuse Sha Zhu, or you accept the gift and introduce him, and then we don't care whether it works out or not.

Sha Zhu already said there would be a generous gift later, but Yan Lao is such a cheapskate. To be honest, for a teacher, this is ridiculous.

What do you mean you haven't actively harmed anyone, and yet you're picking up trash?

Everyone says that Old Man Yan is the best of the three old men, but don't exaggerate.

At the beginning of the TV series, wasn't the questioning meant to torture Sha-zhu to death?

Upon hearing this, everyone in the crowd unanimously declared that the Yan family was shameless.

Yang Ruihua and the Yan family's children couldn't lift their heads.

I can't even go home.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to defend Yan Laokou, but he didn't know how to start.

Liu Haizhong stepped forward again: "Yan Bugui, how could you, as the third uncle of courtyard number 95, do such a thing?"

Yan Bugui looked ashamed, lowered his head, and immediately came up with a brilliant idea.

His body went limp and he slid to the ground.

Liu Haizhong never expected that his words would be so damaging.

Yan Laokou was lying on the ground in an instant.

The onlookers quickly retreated, afraid of getting into trouble.

Yi Zhonghai quickly squatted down to check on Yan Bugui.

He was still shouting, "Old Yan's family, come and help Old Yan! Where's Jie Cheng? Take your dad to the hospital to get checked out!"

Yang Dalin immediately understood that Lao Kou was trying to fake fainting to fool him.

Pshaw, wishful thinking.

Yang Dalin stepped forward and said, "Everyone, move aside and don't crowd around. Keep your breathing clear. I know first aid. Xiaoning, bring us our kitchen knife. I know a bloodletting therapy."

For someone who is so easily angered, a little bloodletting will help.

If that doesn't work, cut off a finger to bleed it out. If cutting off a finger doesn't work, then cut off the whole hand. It will definitely save the patient instantly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Dalin clearly saw Yan Bugui's hand tremble slightly.

Because there was no one else around him except Yi Zhonghai, Yang Ruihua hadn't squeezed in yet, and Yi Zhonghai was just holding Yan Laokou's head.

The arm was not blocked.

Just then, someone in the back of the crowd shouted, "The police are here! Make way! What's going on?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard that the police had arrived, he glared fiercely at Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin was also confused; who was so kind as to report the case?

I haven't even called anyone yet.

Why is Yi Zhonghai glaring at me? This goes against his motto: "Let's resolve things in the yard, can't we go outside?"

It's still the same old saying: there's no fault of the elderly, only the inadequacy of their children.

It seems that Yi Zhonghai, that cunning old fox, really needs to be careful in the future.

Several policemen squeezed in.

The leader, Yang Dalin, was someone I met at the police station yesterday; he's the captain who handled their case.

There are three other people, two of whom I met yesterday.

As soon as Captain Yang came in, he said, "Everyone, disperse. What's all the commotion in your yard? People from the neighboring yard have called the police. What happened to this guy lying on the ground? Is he alright? Xiao Lu, come over and check him out."

Xiao Lu is the policeman who checked the injuries of the three thugs yesterday.

Captain Yang saw that the person standing in front of him was Yang Dalin, and among the onlookers were the family members of the three thugs from yesterday.

"Comrade Yang Dalin, what's going on?" Then he turned to look at the three family members of the criminals.

"Why are you here? Who sent you?"

Xiao Lu quickly finished his examination: "Captain, this person has fainted, but it looks like he's faking it."

Yang Dalin quickly turned around and went back into the house to fetch half a bucket of water, as he carried water to the family's water tank every day.

After the jar is full, the two iron buckets will also be filled and set aside for later use.

There's still half a bucket left.

Yang Dalin, carrying a bucket of water, said, "Captain Yang, how about I splash this guy who's pretending to be unconscious wake him up first, and then I'll explain the situation to you?"

Captain Yang nodded slightly: "That's fine. It's cold, so don't splash it on yourself or it will upset you. Just splash it on your head."

Captain Yang is really clever. It's late autumn and early winter, yet he's still wearing a thin cotton-padded coat and no hat.

Yi Zhonghai quickly stopped Yang Dalin, who was about to make a move, and kicked Yan Bugui with his heel.

Yang Dalin didn't see it either, but Uncle Qi and the others saw it clearly.

Yan Bugui woke up before the cold water was poured over his head.

Actually, Yan Bugui misunderstood. Yi Zhonghai meant that Yan Bugui should persevere to the end.

It's just that I got dizzy from being too anxious. Just hang in there and see it through. Maybe nothing will happen.

When the police arrive, they might see that he's still unconscious and is preoccupied with his own anxieties, and then they might stop pursuing the matter.

But little did he know that Yan Bugui was worried that if he really got splashed with cold water and fell ill, he would have to spend money to see a doctor.

To save some money, he simply "woke up".

Yi Zhonghai heard someone behind him shout, "Hey, he was really faking it. He's awake, he's awake."

He really wanted to just give up and destroy everything. Yan Bugui deserved it; he was utterly useless.

You're such a stingy old man, really!

This isn't meant to be regionally biased; Yang Dalin genuinely did have two colleagues from Shanxi in his past life.

Others may not know, but these two people are willing to treat them to meals, but they've never been asked to treat them.

You can only take advantage of the situation; there's no way you'll actually spend money.

Later on, when they went out to eat, Yang Dalin only paid for himself and never again politely asked, "I'll pay for you all too."

It's not that everyone is like that, but Yang Dalin did encounter two such stingy people.

It's truly bizarre; there are all sorts of people there.
