The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

Cao Wei knows all too well whether Yi Zhonghai is childless or has a beastly neighbor.

It's nothing more than those few points that are being criticized.

Although he didn't care, he was even more unhappy to see Yi Zhonghai gain the upper hand and act smugly in front of him.

As Cao Wei finished his repetitive and rambling remarks, the beastly neighbors began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Tsk tsk tsk, expecting people to cook for free."

"He looks about the same age as Sha Zhu, but I never imagined he'd already be a third-level chef at Fengzeyuan, almost ready to graduate..."

"Well, that price isn't too expensive after all..."

"..."

Although our beastly neighbors are indifferent, that doesn't mean they're stupid.

Most of the people who live here have eaten at Fengzeyuan once or twice.

At the very least, they had inquired about it and knew what status Fengzeyuan held.

For a chef from another company to work on a wedding banquet, this price isn't too outrageous.

Yi Zhonghai, whether from anger or cold, was trembling all over.

Cao Wei's series of remarks even interrupted his attempts to morally condemn the other party.

However, Yi Zhonghai seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but frown, cough, and pretend to be a somewhat helpless elder, saying, "But we are all from the same courtyard after all, and I am at least your elder..."

"Stop, are you about to start some more 'elderly literature' again?"

"Listen up, everyone. Yi Zhonghai is about to become an elder in your family. Who knows, one day, that old deaf man in the backyard will become your ancestor. Then, whatever delicious food you eat, you'll have to bring him a bowl, take turns washing his feet and wishing him a Happy New Year. Besides, there are so many people in China who are older than you. Shouldn't you, Yi Zhonghai, also show some respect to those elders? After all, they are older than you."

The rest of the conversation might not elicit a reaction from these beastly neighbors, but once the beginning was mentioned, they immediately became wide awake.

Especially when they think about how their child suddenly has an elder, and even has to take care of that deaf old man.

When their bottom line was touched, they immediately started bombarding Yi Zhonghai with questions.

"If you like being an elder, then go be someone else's elder."

"After such a falling out, you still want to act like a senior in their family?"

"If you want to be some kind of elder or ancestor, go play by yourself."

Since the old deaf man's indestructible body had already been broken once when Cao Wei arrived, he naturally showed no mercy now that he realized the other party might become an ancestor.

This caused the old deaf man, who was mingling in the crowd and ready to watch the show, to instantly turn grim.

She did have that idea.

After all, the food Yi Zhonghai provided her after Sha Zhu left wasn't very good. She had even come up with a plan: to fabricate a story that she was a martyr's relative and become the matriarch of the entire courtyard. That way, she could live a life of luxury, eating and drinking for free.

As a result, before she could even tell Yi Zhonghai about the plan, Cao Wei ruthlessly crushed it in the blink of an eye, leaving her old eyes fixed on Cao Wei like vultures, filled only with malice and malice.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't even utter a word in response.

And just then, the most heartbreaking words came.

"I only have one father. You're an old, childless man who can't have children. Do you know how to be someone's elder? You can't have children yourself, yet you want to be someone else's father. You've really spoiled yourself. If you want to be an elder, go have your own children."

The most hurtful words were naturally spoken by Cao Wei's underling, Xu Damao.

If we talk about other things, Yi Zhonghai, who has experienced a period of hardship, might still be able to maintain his composure, but when the topic of the word "childless" is mentioned, which he least wants to be discussed, he will be left with nothing.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes turned bloodshot, and he walked straight toward Xu Damao, gritting his teeth and preparing to attack.

"Today I'm going to teach you a lesson in place of your father."

Seeing this, Xu Damao panicked. He was only fifteen years old and had no chance of winning against Yi Zhonghai. So he shouted at Cao Wei.

"Brother Wei!"

Before Yi Zhonghai could get close enough to make a move, Cao Wei unleashed a Leo Kick, leaping up and striking Yi Zhonghai squarely in the stomach.

Caught completely off guard, Yi Zhonghai was kicked away, nearly ten meters away, before collapsing against the wall.

He fainted immediately. This scene made Li Mei, who was about to step forward, panic. She threw herself on Yi Zhonghai, showing concern while roaring at Cao Wei with a face full of resentment.

"This is murder! I'm reporting this to the military control commission."

However, Cao Wei only sneered in response to Li Mei's hysterical roar.

"Hurry up and go. I can also go and say something. The old man is forcing me to work for free, which is equivalent to exploiting labor and almost robbery. And then, he wants to act as an elder in everyone's household. This is feudal thinking. The combination of the two can make the old man successfully go to the detention center to become an elder."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Wei glanced at Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong, who were mingling in the crowd and glaring at him with hatred, and sneered disdainfully.

After entering, he slammed the door shut.

Ignore the noise outside.

This made Li Mei's face turn extremely ugly.

Thinking of his previous experience of being taken advantage of, he finally gave up the idea of ​​reporting to the Military Control Commission. Then he looked at Jia Dongxu and the other young people in the courtyard and couldn't help but greet them.

"Dongxu, hurry up and take your master to the hospital."

Jia Dongxu ran out of the courtyard, borrowed a cart from next door, and then took Yi Zhonghai to the hospital.

Seeing that there was no more drama to watch, the other beastly neighbors simply went back to their own homes.

Liu Jia, whose complexion was not exactly pleasant, had bangs.

Although he was happy to see Yi Zhonghai suffer a loss, he naturally hated Cao Wei more than Cao Wei.

As a result, today, in front of so many people, Yi Zhonghai, whom he considered to be slightly quicker-witted than himself, suffered another loss.

When will I be able to take revenge?

The reason he didn't step forward earlier was because Liu Guangqi persuaded him.

So Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Guangqi and couldn't help but urge him anxiously.

"Guangqi, we can't let this little beast continue to be so arrogant."

Liu Guangqi could only shrug and express his helplessness.

"Dad, the key is us. If you're sure you want to do it, you need to get some money beforehand, especially since my tuition is due soon."

Compared to revenge, what mattered more to Liu Haizhong was Liu Guangqi's admission to a vocational school, his becoming a cadre, and bringing honor to his ancestors. So he could only suppress his anger for the time being and look to Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

Amidst a symphony of bloodcurdling screams, everyone knew that the Liu brothers had been beaten again.

On the other side, Yan Fugui's expression was also extremely unpleasant.

Having observed Cao Wei for the past few days, he noticed that Cao Wei ate only white flour at every meal and had meat almost daily. He even considered reporting Cao Wei for possibly having illicit income.

After all, an apprentice can't earn that much money, but he was a third-level chef, a proper chef in the kitchen.

Thirty-odd yuan a month, that's enough for one person to eat like that, it's actually quite affordable.

This not only thwarted his revenge plan, but also made him curse Cao Wei for not knowing how to manage a household.

The three Yan brothers, on the other hand, looked pale and sickly, as if nothing could affect them, given that they ate sweet potatoes and cornmeal every day.

Yan Jiecheng, who was busy with hard labor, and his two growing brothers didn't have the energy to think about these things.

In the hospital, the first thing Yi Zhonghai did after waking up was to look at Li Mei beside him and say through gritted teeth.

"Mei, hurry up and report to the military control commission. I want this kid in."
