Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

Sure enough, upon entering the room, I saw Chen Xueru had changed her clothes and was sitting in front of the mirror fixing her makeup.

"Why did you leave Weidong alone in the house?"

"Oh, Mom! It's alright!" Chen Xueru was focused on applying lipstick and didn't care at all.

She already rewarded him, giving him a long kiss! Besides, she changed her clothes to make Lin Weidong even happier.

Following her gaze, Chen's mother noticed her slightly swollen lips and frowned deeply.

"I think you're hopeless! You might as well go with him tonight."

"That's exactly right! Hehe~"

Chen's mother was so angry that she stood up, but Chen Xueru, who knew when to back down, put her arm around her waist and hugged her back.

"Don't be angry, Mom! Didn't we agree on something? Why are you so upset about him?"

"I don't have a problem with him! I just don't want to see you belittle yourself! Is this how a girl should act, chasing after someone like this? He'll look down on you sooner or later, and don't come crying back then!"

"No way~" Chen Xueru pouted, not wanting to hear it. The two of them had a great relationship and were inseparable.

"Don't worry, Mother! Weidong is very capable. You two can just relax and enjoy your retirement from now on!"

"No need. Your father and I have already thought it through. We'll go back to our hometown after we annul the engagement with the Hou family."

"You're lying to me! My father would never want to leave." Chen Xueru frowned in disbelief. The silk shop was her father's life's work, how could he bear to part with it?

"Heh... It's better to be reluctant than to stay here and let you all drive me crazy!"

Chen's mother snorted coldly, but seeing her daughter's sad expression and the tears welling up in her eyes, she couldn't help but soften her tone.

"Alright, girl, don't take it to heart. I was just joking. But your father has really decided to go back to our hometown in Suzhou. He can't save face if we stay here. Besides, you know your brother. He's a spendthrift. If we don't go back soon, he'll squander all our savings. Your sister-in-law already sent us a letter asking us to go back. With the arrival of our second child, she can't manage everything..."

Cheng's mother reached out and wiped away the tears on her daughter's face, talking on and on.

Inside the main room, Lin Weidong frowned as he listened to Chen Zhongjie make the same decision.

The decision of Chen Zhongjie and his wife surprised him, but after thinking about it carefully, he could understand it. The older generation values ​​face the most.

Especially when it comes to such a major life event as marriage, it's truly shameful to go back on one's word.

Perhaps he underestimated how much people value promises in this era; who knows, people might still talk about Chen Xueru in the future.

Thinking about this, Lin Weidong suddenly felt that arresting the Hou family in the country was not a good idea.

It would be better to let them escape in advance and deal with them after they arrive in Hong Kong.

In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, the Hou family would be the first to feel sorry.

After a brief chat, and having dinner at the Chen family's house, Lin Weidong left with Chen Xueru watching him with reluctance.

Chen Xueru wasn't truly unfilial; she was still fooling around with her lover while knowing she was about to part with her parents.

She planned to be a good girl for a while, not to upset her parents, and make it up to her lover later.

Meanwhile, back in courtyard number 13, Lin Weidong heard Tian Zao talk about something else.

"I have some good news that will surely make you happy!" Tian Zao said mysteriously, sitting in Lin Weidong's lap with a proud look on her face.

Lin Weidong tried to check her status bar and thought she was pregnant! It gave him a fright.

Then I thought, this isn't my past life, what am I afraid of? If I get pregnant, I'll just have the baby, it's not like I can't afford to raise it.

That wasn't the case, and Lin Weidong was furious, so he gave him a hard rub.

"Oh! Don't be naughty! I'll tell you, but I need to ask for your opinion first. I took a test today, and my results were... excellent! The teacher said I suddenly had a breakthrough and that I might consider going to upper elementary school... What do you think?"

"Go for it, what's there to hesitate about? But you're almost 19, do you want to fight for a seat with a bunch of little kids in elementary school?"

"Then what should we do?" Tian Zao asked, but seeing that he only pouted and didn't speak, she wisely moved closer.

She really wanted to learn more and enrich herself, so that she wouldn't fall too far behind Lin Weidong at home in the future.

Bai Ling, who has studied abroad, doesn't want to be the least educated person in her family.

After a moment of intimacy, Lin Weidong patted his buttocks.

"Sure thing, your man will use his connections to get you into junior high!"

After making the promise, Lin Weidong put his arm around Tian Zao and got onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

As long as Tian Zao is willing, arranging for her to go to school is a minor matter.

The current education system is a mix of old and new systems, and there are many people who have attended private schools and are knowledgeable but have no academic qualifications.

As long as one's knowledge is solid enough, finding someone to pull strings to complete the academic program is just a matter of getting a few certificates.

The China Higher Education Student Information System (CHESICC) is not online right now.

The next day, Lin Weidong pushed his cart out of the courtyard house and bumped into Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing.

"Hey Lin, off to work? I heard you guys came to the factory yesterday, why didn't I see you take a look around the workshop?"

When Yi Zhonghai saw him, he actually took the initiative to greet him, without any unusual expression.

On the contrary, He Daqing, standing to the side, forced a stiff smile with an embarrassed expression.

"I was too busy yesterday to make it," Lin Weidong said dismissively, then added with a smile, "You two have been inseparable lately."

"Hey, it's on the way!" Yi Zhonghai explained, then greeted the other neighbors with a smile.

The neighbors' attitudes toward him, this "kind person" who had just been exonerated by Jin Lu, changed slightly, and they responded with politeness.

Lin Weidong chuckled inwardly as he looked at Yi Zhonghai's triumphant demeanor.

Enjoy it while you can, you don't have many more good days left.

Front gate.

Two days later, Niu Ye finally managed to get information about He Daqing from a gourmet neighbor.

He is a descendant of the Tan family cuisine lineage and the head chef of Fengzeyuan Restaurant, and is quite well-known in the culinary industry.

Regardless of whether Niu Ye was famous or not, it was no reason for He Daqing to go to the front gate and slander people.

It almost ruined his reputation.

He's spent most of his life in the business, and what he values ​​most is face!

Not long after, through his connections, Niu Ye found out that He Daqing had left Fengzeyuan and joined Lou's Steel Rolling Mill.

As luck would have it, through connections at the steel mill, they learned that Yi Zhonghai was also there, and that both of them lived in No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

Now that the target was clear, Master Niu immediately started calling for reinforcements.

Inside the tavern, many people chimed in. Teaching these two a lesson was just a side thing; the crowd was more interested in seeing if Cai Quanwu and He Daqing really looked alike.

When Pian'er heard about this for the first time, he was very curious and started asking around with a wine cup in hand.

He recently took a job helping a tea shop open in the eastern suburbs, but he missed the big show. He won't be left out of the excitement later on.

After some discussion, the group decided to block them in the courtyard so that their neighbors would know their true colors.

As evening fell, Master Niu summoned Chen Zhongjie and Cai Quanwu, who was recuperating at home.

One was the person involved, and the other was a victim caught in the crossfire; they were naturally happy to go together.

Cai Quanwu felt an unprecedented sense of belonging from Niu Ye and his group at the tavern.

He brought two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes when he arrived, and as soon as he entered the tavern, he handed them out to everyone. In the end, everyone was still helping him clear his name and get revenge.
