Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human
Chapter 41 The Gold Bar That Fell From the Cane
Xu Damao was chased and beaten by He Yuzhu in the Intermediate People's Court.
Xu Fugui was arguing with He Daqing in his own backyard.
Upon seeing the photo, He Daqing felt relieved, but could no longer suppress his anger and started a fight.
At the home of a deaf old lady.
As soon as Yi Zhonghai and his wife arrived, the deaf old lady immediately perked up and began to lecture and mock Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed the cane that the old lady was pointing at, breaking it on the spot.
Unexpectedly, several gold bars fell out of the walking stick with a clatter.
Liu Haizhong and the others were dumbfounded for a long time before they saw the deaf old lady quickly get off the kang (a heated brick bed) and pick it up.
His skills were not affected in the slightest by his bound feet.
Yan Bugui's eyes turned red!
Seizing the opportunity on the spot, they characterized the deaf old lady's actions as suspicious and suspicious, and Liu Haizhong followed up by cooperating to send the deaf old lady to the police station.
The deaf old lady denied it while instructing Yi Zhonghai and his wife to help her.
The room was in complete chaos. In the midst of the scuffle, the most emotional of them all, Liu Haizhong, couldn't hold back any longer and started fighting.
"Yi Zhonghai! You actually dared to help this old woman, a spy? I think you haven't been taught enough lessons!"
Damn it! It's understandable that he couldn't handle the two old men, one big and one small, from the He family.
But what makes you so arrogant, Yi Zhonghai? You're carrying two burdens, one of whom is an old rascal, and you dare to hinder my great cause of progress?
Liu Haizhong made his move, and Yan Bugui followed closely behind. With gold bars dangling in front of him, he was much more proactive than usual.
This kept Lin Weidong very busy! He didn't even know which side to look at first.
In the end, however, he still gathered at the deaf old lady's doorstep, just like everyone else, since it was the liveliest place there.
I don't know who it was that, for their own convenience, tore down the curtain from the deaf old lady's door and threw it on the ground early in the morning.
Lin Weidong has amazing eyesight; he can see more than others.
However, when he scanned the deaf old lady with his true eyes, he shook his head with regret.
This old lady's true identity is the former mistress of the Lou family. She has nothing to do with enemy agents. Liu Haizhong is going to have wasted his time again!
However, this matter has become a real calamity for the deaf old lady.
Even though the crackdown on capitalism hasn't started yet, she's a pitiful old lady with bound feet, whose usual persona is that she needs Yi Zhonghai's help and care. But now it's been revealed that she's quite wealthy.
The collapse of his public image is a minor matter; the important thing is that the gold bars, through his loud voice behind his bangs, have been heard by everyone in the courtyard.
Lin Weidong observed the heavy breathing and constantly changing expressions of the people around him, but he was not surprised.
Those were three whole gold bars, something an ordinary person could never obtain in a lifetime. It's perfectly normal to be greedy for them.
"Well done, Lao Liu!" He mentally gave Liu Haizhong a big thumbs up.
The fight was fierce, and the Xu family was not at a disadvantage either.
He Daqing went mad. How could Xu Fugui and his wife possibly stop a master chef who had been flipping woks for years? His arms were thicker than their thighs.
He watched helplessly as He Daqing smashed his house to pieces and then walked away.
"You, surnamed Xu, if you've got the guts, go ahead and call the police. Let's see who dies between our two families!"
After He Daqing left, Xu Fugui covered his swollen cheek and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, his brows furrowed in extreme gloom.
He never expected He Daqing to suddenly turn on him.
They clearly handed him a full hundred yuan!
As soon as the photo was changed, they started a fight on the spot, hitting people and smashing things. They said the 100 yuan was compensation for the furniture and told him to report it to the police if he wanted.
Xu Fugui dared not reveal it, as his background was not as clean as He Daqing's. Recently, Boss Lou had repeatedly instructed them to keep a low profile.
He only had himself to blame for being momentarily captivated by He Daqing's decisiveness and, fearing that things might get complicated if things dragged on, wanting to end the matter as soon as possible, so he took out the photos on the spot.
Ultimately, this whole thing is the fault of that idiot in the bangs!
If he hadn't pressured He Daqing before, would He Daqing have harbored such resentment?
In the fringe that's covered in weeds!
Xu Fugui had no choice but to use this self-deceptive excuse to vent his frustration.
At the very least... he still accepted 100 yuan from He Daqing. After repairing the furniture and recovering from his injury, he should be able to get some money back, right?
Xu Damao went to mock him but failed and returned with a head full of bumps, completely dumbfounded.
"Dad! Sha Zhu hit me! You need to think of something... Hey? What's wrong with our family? How did things get like this?"
That night, some were happy while others were sad. When He Daqing returned home, he heard his son had also given Xu Damao a beating, and he kept laughing and saying how good he was!
He Daqing had only done a few immoral things in his life, and after liberation, he would worry every few days whether he would be purged.
The moment he saw the photo, he remembered which time it was!
That time, not only him and Xu Fugui were there, but also Lou Zhenhua! Lou Zhenhua was one of the initiators of the banquet.
He, Xu Fugui, works for the Lou family; if he has the guts, he can sue them.
The conflict in the deaf old lady's house was on the verge of spiraling out of control.
Some people in the courtyard couldn't stand seeing the deaf old lady doing well. Since they couldn't find Jin Lu, they wanted to go to the police station to report him and have him arrested, just as Liu Haizhong had suggested.
Lin Weidong quickly sent a message to Jin Lu to come and clean up the mess. These people had been misled by Liu Haizhong and thought that the deaf old lady was really an enemy agent.
In fact, after the truth was revealed, it actually helped the deaf old lady.
Jin Lu arrived quickly and immediately began mediating.
"Either you keep fighting, and I'll take you to the police station when you're done, or you can discuss the compensation yourselves and let's just let it go."
The deaf old lady was waiting for a government official, so she quickly agreed.
"Alright, alright, this isn't urgent. Officer Jin, I need your help with my old lady. These three gold bars are the money my late husband saved for my funeral when he passed away, and I've never been willing to spend them. But with everything this has happened, I can't keep them at home anymore. Could you please keep them for me for a couple of days? I'll try to figure something out... If all else fails, please donate them!"
The deaf old woman harbored deep resentment, but she was forced into a corner by circumstances.
She can't keep this gold bar in her own hands, otherwise she won't be able to sleep soundly, and maybe one day she'll never wake up again and be harmed by someone.
Just now, if Jin Lu hadn't come over, all those onlookers in the yard would have practically come into her house to watch!
Upon hearing the deaf old woman's words, everyone's expression changed, and they cursed inwardly.
They don't believe in any talk of donations. If the old man had that kind of awareness, he would have donated long ago. Why would he have waited until today?
Isn't it obvious that they're taking advantage of Jin Lu's status to send him money and seek protection?
Yi Zhonghai's face was ashen with pain, and he clenched his fists.
That old man! He's been running around doing all this, but in the end he'd rather believe a newcomer than Yi Zhonghai?
Putting aside helping her fight today, just these past two years, Gao Cuilan has served her with such care and attention that even her own mother hasn't been as devoted.
Lin Weidong now looked at the deaf old woman with new respect. They say that old people are shrewd and wise, and this old woman was certainly shrewd.
But... how dare you scheme against the progressive youth under my command?
I've personally become the king of covering things up, do you think I'd let you trick me?
"Oh, ma'am, you must be joking. I'm not qualified to keep it safe. If you really want to donate, you can make a trip yourself and that will make the government remember you."
Jin Lu's refusal surprised everyone.
The deaf old lady was the most upset, but the money had to be sent out today!
Her gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on another government employee, Lin Weidong.
"Hey Kobayashi, why don't you help this old lady out...?"
"Stop! I, Lin Weidong, would never take a single needle or thread from the people! That's discipline!"
Lin Weidong refused before she could finish speaking. He was joking; he wouldn't even let his own clones get involved, so why would he take on this hot potato?
His words were resolute, and he took the opportunity to demonstrate his iron discipline to everyone.
After Lin Weidong finished speaking, he left first. Since they had already entered the compensation phase, there was no more excitement to watch.
Unable to give the money away or find anyone to rely on, the deaf old lady returned to her house with a gloomy face and had no choice but to hand it to Yi Zhonghai.
"Zhonghai! Why don't you keep this for me, old lady?"
She spoke very loudly, as if afraid that the people in the yard wouldn't hear her.
