Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

In the courtyard house.

When Lin Weidong returned from get off work, Chen Xueru pointed to her face with a worried expression.

"What should I do? Will this change in me cause you trouble if I go out like this?"

Lin Weidong was speechless. It couldn't be that outrageous. The effects of the beauty pill were mainly slow and continuous.

Chen Xueru is just too concerned about her appearance; she's overjoyed by even the slightest change.

Lin Weidong remembered that when Tian Zao got up that day, she at most looked in the mirror and had no other reaction.

When the food was served, Lin Weidong invited Chen Xueru to eat and offered her a few words of comfort.

"Don't worry, no normal person would bother to pay attention to your changes. Besides, people are in high spirits when they have good things happening! It's normal to have some changes."

Lin Weidong paused, then, thinking of Chen Xueru's character, he couldn't help but emphasize it.

"Of course, you can't be too flashy or showy, or people will definitely become suspicious of you."

Chen Xueru was building a food tower in Lin Weidong's bowl with her chopsticks when she heard this and retorted unhappily.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Don't worry... from now on, I'll go out completely plain! If that's not enough, I'll smear some soot from the bottom of a pot on top! How about that? Pretty careful, right? Humph!"

Chen Xueru glared at Lin Weidong with a resentful look in her eyes.

Yes, Lin Weidong, her love is real, but the shattered illusion is also real.

He lives like a lord at home, but when he goes out, he's a model young man of the new era.

The key point is that before the two met, Lin Weidong had looked down on her!

But what happened in the end? Didn't they eventually find it surprisingly good? Pshaw! What a hypocrite!

"What are you muttering about?"

"It's nothing... I just said I love you!"

Caught red-handed, Chen Xueru quickly raised her face, put on a sweet smile, and said some shameless sweet nothings as she leaned in for a kiss.

Lin Weidong pinched her cheek as punishment, realizing that Chen Xueru's personality was quite eccentric...

They are the two extremes, Bai Ling and Bai Ling...

After the meal, Lin Weidong had something to do today, so he arranged for Old Cui's wife to take her home.

"Don't worry, sir! I'm sure I can convince my parents!"

As Chen Xueru was leaving, she uttered some bold words! Lin Weidong really didn't know where her confidence came from.

If I hadn't made arrangements in advance last night, your parents would have come knocking on your door!

Of course, this matter cannot be blamed on Chen Xueru.

Moreover, some people are about to pay the price.

He can't retaliate now; he's not publicly aware of it yet.

He planned to have the group at the front gate come forward and teach Yi Zhonghai and his companion a lesson.

This can't be over in one go. We need to teach these two a lesson: the factory and the yard are connected by a single thread, and they have to go home after get off work!

Wandering around outside will only lead to trouble! And trouble... will get you punished.

That night, after Chen Xueru left, Lin Weidong quietly waited for news from Cui Bashan.

Zheng Zhaoshan made some unusual moves today, and Cui Bashan, as the head of the investigation section and deputy leader of the action group, naturally had to keep a close eye on him, which created an opportunity for Lin Weidong.

In the courtyard house.

Without Liu Haizhong as his confidant, Yan Bugui appeared hesitant and listless.

However, when he saw Xu Fugui carrying bags and packages as he entered the door, he came back to life and hurriedly went to greet him.

"Hey Lao Xu! Something special today? Come on, let me help you carry all this stuff!"

Xu Fugui was completely helpless when faced with his enthusiasm.

Just a few days ago, he and Liu Haizhong caused a scene at his home, leading to a very unpleasant argument. How can this person be so shameless?

"Stop it! We haven't settled the score for the time you caused trouble at my house! We don't need to be so close."

"Look, you, Old Xu, still hold a grudge against me? Wasn't that all instigated by Liu Haizhong? I genuinely thought you were hiding something bad! If you got caught, you'd be in jail! I was just thinking of you from the bottom of my heart!"

Yan Bugui's smiling expression remained unchanged, and his words silenced Xu Fugui.

Damn it, this guy is not only shameless, he has no idea what a face is!

Xu Fugui ignored him and simply walked away.

Yan Bugui, fully embodying the spirit of "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water," kept nagging along, pushing all the responsibility onto Liu Haizhong.

Anyway, Liu Haizhong is inside right now, so he can't refute it to his face.

As the two passed by the central courtyard, Jia Zhangshi saw them and made sarcastic remarks.

"Teacher Yan, isn't it enough to have a northwest wind in the dead of winter? Why are you deliberately trying to take advantage of the situation?"

Yan Bugui glared at her hatefully; he remembered how Jia Zhangshi had repeatedly provoked the Yan family.

However, business was more important at the moment. He felt that Xu Fugui was a nice person who liked to talk to people, so he should strike while the iron was hot and build a good relationship with him.

Jia Zhangshi pursed her lips, feeling that she had won again. She went back into the house, chewed on the freshly steamed buns, and looked at the nearly empty grain in the jar.

I couldn't help but think of Jia Dongxu.

"My son! When are you coming out? We're almost out of food..."

After calculating the days, Madam Jia Zhang felt that she wouldn't be able to hold on until her son came out, since she had also been inside and needed to replenish her body.

I can't go a day without eating my fill, which makes me very worried.

After thinking it over, she set her sights on Yi Zhonghai, who lived across the street.

While Yi Zhonghai was out gathering two pieces of firewood, he was caught by Jia Zhangshi.

"Hey! Dongxu's master, have you eaten yet?"

"Sister-in-law Jia, just say what you need to say." Yi Zhonghai hadn't even put on his cotton-padded coat, and he wasn't in the mood to chat with her.

"Hey! Dongxu's been in jail for a while now, and his family's run out of food. I was thinking of borrowing some from you first, and he can pay you back when he gets out and goes back to Zhangjiazhuang?"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and realized it wasn't a difficult matter. Maybe Jia Dongxu would remember it well when he heard about it.

"Okay, wait a moment and I'll give you some pointers so you can eat first."

Yi Zhonghai went in quickly and came out quickly, but he didn't look too good. When he handed the bag of seven or eight catties of coarse grain to Jia Zhangshi, he gave her some instructions.

"Sister-in-law, I lent this grain to Dongxu, so remember to pay it back, or Cuilan will nag me to death!"

"Alright! You go ahead with your work." Jia Zhangshi beamed with joy upon receiving the grain.

As for paying it back? Pay my ass!

Last time, when she asked Yi Zhonghai to help Dongxu with his marriage proposal, he refused. Jia Zhangshi felt that Yi Zhonghai wasn't genuinely interested in taking on a disciple.

Maybe it's just an excuse; let's take advantage of whatever we can now.

Yan Bugui returned from the backyard in a huff and witnessed this scene.

My eyes lit up immediately, and I thought to myself, "Great!"

The next day.

Lin Weidong successfully obtained Zheng Zhaoshan's reward last night: one intermediate clone. To be precise, it should be two pairs of intermediate clones, one of whom is of overseas race.

He was in a great mood and pushed his cart out the door.

Passing by the front yard, I overheard Yang Ruihua gossiping with several women, saying that Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai were having an affair.

My interest was piqued when I wondered what kind of grain they would use for trade.

He slowed down and listened carefully, then noticed something unusual about Yang Ruihua's status bar, clearly indicating that she was actively spreading rumors.

Well done! It looks like the Yan family is about to rise again!

Lin Weidong silently expressed his support.
