The strong fisherman in the courtyard

"Yeah, sorry, man! We just had a few drinks."

The man frantically grasped his hands, trying to explain himself.

Li Ming shook his head. "I won't listen. You can save this for the man in the wide-brimmed hat. I will be responsible for destroying him today."

After saying this, he kicked the man's leg directly, breaking it easily and crisply.

"what!"

As soon as the man opened his mouth, Li Ming punched him. Tsk, several of his teeth fell out, his nose sank, and he fainted.

Li Ming then grabbed the man by the collar and dragged him on the ground towards his father.

When the Yan brothers saw the familiar nose bridge and the familiar depression, they shuddered again. They still remembered that Li Ming had made one so simply some time ago. Now, another one has been made.

"Uncle Wu, Dad, this is also done." Li Ming said with a smile.

Although the two middle-aged men were amazed at Li Ming's operation, they didn't think it was excessive!

If anything happened to Wu Qiangguo's daughter, he would take out a gun and shoot these two men in the street!

Comrade Li Weiguo patted his son on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Well done!"

Li Ming smiled and tilted his head to look at Wu Xuanxuan, "Sister Xuanxuan, call me next time you go out."

Wu Xuanxuan was still immersed in the scene where Li Ming saved her just now. As for these two useless people? Sorry, I didn't see them.

Hearing Li Ming's voice, her eyes reddened and she nodded, "Okay, I'll call you when I go out next time."

"Mingzi, you take Xuanxuan home first. Your aunt Liu is worried. Your father, I, and the two young men from the Yan family will take her to the police station."

Wu Qiangguo felt relieved when he saw this scene. After what the two kids had been through, he could tell that they had feelings for each other and it was only a matter of time.

Now he felt relieved, so he simply sent Li Ming and his daughter away with a stick. They took their people to the police station. He knew the director, so these two people had to be killed. No one else could stop them!

Besides, they are all second-rate guys, and it is still unclear whether anyone will come to protect them!

"Okay, I'll take Sister Xuanxuan back first."

"Go ahead."

. . . . . .

Steel rolling mill courtyard, front yard, Wu family.

Li Ming stood aside and smiled as he looked at the four steady people in front of him. Although today's incident was a bit dangerous, fortunately nothing bigger happened.

It is quite normal to encounter such things these days. There is nothing we can do about it. We can only be more careful in the future.

"Son, when you are at home in the future, you should accompany Xuanxuan to go shopping. And Ruirui, you should also find a companion when you go out!"

"I understand, Mom." The little girl also looked scared and responded quickly.

Wu Xuanxuan also nodded prettily. She was now sitting next to Li Ming and she probably hasn't recovered yet.

After a while, the few people who went out to report their performance to the police station came back. The four of them were carrying wine and meat. It seemed that tonight's midnight snack would develop into a three-party meal.

"Xuanxuan, have a drink in the evening to calm your nerves." Wu Qiangguo looked at his girl and comforted her.

"okay, I get it."

"Lao Wu, those two bastards?"

Wu Qiangguo waved his hand and said, "I told Lao Zhao that those two people can't get out."

Lao Zhao is the chief of the police station in charge of their area. Wu Qiangguo still has some face as a great engineer. What's more, those two people did violate a taboo. Even if they didn't go with acquaintances, these two people would be in big trouble!

"That's fine. I'll go cook and we'll have dinner together in the evening. Xiaoxing and Xiaowang can stay too." Comrade Liu Lanfang said with a smile.

"Hey."

"Got it, Aunt Liu."

The front yard was quite lively that night. We picked beans and had a midnight snack together. The excitement lasted until one or two o'clock, and then it ended. All that was left was for everyone to go home to catch up on some sleep, and then get up early to cook eight-treasure porridge.

. . . . . .

The next day.

Li Ming was awakened by the aroma of Eight Treasure Porridge. He looked at the time and found that it was just past six o'clock. He couldn't fall asleep, so he got up quickly, washed his face, and walked leisurely to the small living room.

"Mingzi, now that you're awake, go to the outer courtyard and call the two little brothers to come for dinner!" Mother Li saw her son swaying around, and it was obvious that he hadn't gotten enough sleep.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Li Ming yawned and staggered out the door.

Wu Xuanxuan happened to come in from outside, and seeing Li Ming's sleep-deprived look, she laughed, "Xiao Mingzi, what did you do last night? Why are you so sleepy now?"

Li Ming rolled his eyes. "I was sleepwalking last night! How could I not be sleepy after staying up all night and getting up so early?"

Wu Xuanxuan looked at Li Ming's dazed appearance and thought he was so cute, just like the puppy they had at home who had just woken up. She reached out and touched Li Ming's head.

"Okay, eat the eight-treasure porridge before going to bed. I'm going home first, sister."

Li Ming touched his nose, feeling that this woman had no good intentions when she touched his head just now.

"Xiaoxing, Xiaowang! Get up! Go and have some eight-treasure porridge." Li Ming lit a cigarette to sober up, then shouted in front of the brothers' door.

"Brother, we got up early!"

"Me too."

Well, it’s because he got up late!

"Let's go, let's have some eight-treasure porridge. It would be a shame not to have some porridge on this Laba Festival." Li Ming took the two brothers home. At this time, everyone in the courtyard was awake. Although every household did not have much ingredients for making porridge this year, they still made some to show their appreciation.

Even Yan Fugui's family had cooked a pot of porridge. Yan Jiecheng's grandson was squatting at the door with a bowl in his hand, slurping the porridge.

Chapter 405 Xu Damao’s plan

The Little New Year in the north falls on the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month.

In the steel rolling mill courtyard, in the backyard, is Xu Damao’s home.

"Da Mao, do you think the method we discussed will work?" Yu Li was no longer making matchboxes at this moment. The couple sat around the iron stove with frowns on their faces.

Xu Damao finished smoking a cigarette and then spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse, "It's not a question of whether the method will work or not, it's just that there is no better way at all."

"At least there is no solution for now. My sister-in-law is now annoyed by Yan Jie, this bastard, and she dares not leave the house. There is no better solution."

Yu Li nodded, pursing her thin lips tightly together, "Then I have to discuss it with my family. If they don't agree, or if Haitang doesn't agree, then we can't move forward."

Xu Damao looked up at the yellowed calendar. It was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Little New Year.

"Today is the Little New Year, so I can go to your house and discuss it. If possible, we can try to send Yan Jiecheng in before the New Year. I don't want to know whether the Yan family can have a good New Year, but as long as Yan Jiecheng is in, both of our families can have a good New Year."

After hearing this, Yu Li quickly stood up and started packing. After a while, she packed all the things she was going to take to her parents' house. "Let's go, let's ride our bikes there."

"it is good."

Although they were planning to discuss something, they were going back to her mother's house after all, so they had to observe the proper etiquette.

Li Ming was sitting by his iron stove, cracking roasted peanuts. He happened to see through the window Xu Damao and his wife hurriedly walking past the front yard pushing their bicycles.

"I wonder if Xu Damao has figured out a way to deal with Yan Jiecheng. Tsk tsk, it would be nice if we could still see a good show before the New Year!"

What does it mean to watch the fun without complaining about the big things? Well, that's it! Yan Jiecheng is not a good guy. If he falls down, Li Ming will wake up in the middle of the night!

. . . . . .

Yu family.

Yu Li and Yu Haitang were talking in a low voice in the bedroom. Recently, that bastard Yan Jiecheng had indeed caused considerable trouble to their Yu family. Yu Li felt that her sister had become less talkative and less lively recently, which was quite different from her usual self.

Xu Damao sat with his father-in-law and mother-in-law to discuss how to deal with Yan Jiecheng. They now had a very good understanding of Yan Jiecheng's dog-skin plaster.

As long as they can't be killed with one blow, they will definitely stick to you. On the one hand, the old couple are glad that they didn't marry Yu Li to him, but on the other hand, they are even more annoyed about what happened to their little daughter!

"Da Mao, will this work?" Yu's father asked worriedly, the cigarette in his hand having never stopped smoking since Xu Damao came.

Yu's mother also looked worried.

"Mom and Dad, I know what you are worried about. It's nothing more than whether Haitang was really taken advantage of by that bastard Yan Jiecheng or whether he can beat the bastard to death with a stick!" Xu Damao said gritting his teeth.

Yan Jiecheng really caused great trouble to the newlywed couple Xu Damao. Logically, their family should be living a happy life now, but what happened now? He was adding fuel to the fire!

"When the time comes, let Haitang ask Yan Jiecheng out. We will set up an ambush in advance. If Yan Jiecheng dares to make a move, we will go out and hold him down. I will make sure Yan Jiecheng never comes back!"

"As for whether he could be killed, the crime of hooliganism is quite serious nowadays. Some time ago, a girl from our courtyard was blocked by two people on the street. The two people did not use force, but she still died."

"I later found out that they are looking for someone, so we can find someone too! I, Xu Damao, have not been in the city for nothing for all these years!"

Xu Damao's face was gloomy, and the cigarette butt in his hand was torn to pieces by his careless clenching.

Yu's father and mother looked at each other and continued to fall into silence. This concerned their daughter's innocence, so they had to be cautious!

Although there was no benefit in being entangled by Yan Jiecheng, they definitely understood the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils.

Before her parents had made up their minds, Yu Haitang came out of the bedroom with red eyes and a resolute look on her face, "Dad, Mom, I agree!"

"Even if I really can't get married in this life because of this, I can't let that bastard who pesters me have an easy life!"

Look at what Yan Jiecheng, this bastard, has become! He has done enough to make a girl sacrifice her innocence to punish Yan Jiecheng.

Although it is said that a good woman is afraid of a clingy man, but a clingy man must also have a good reputation, a good face, and a good job, right? This bastard has none of these, a true three-nothing!

"Okay, then let's discuss what to do. Don't worry, girl. When the time comes, I will make sure that bastard Yan Jiecheng won't be able to get out!"

Seeing that his girl had made up her mind, Old Yu knew there was nothing more to say. Yan Jiecheng must pay the price for this matter.

After a long conversation, the family finally decided on the matter and will start dealing with it tomorrow.

"Then I will go back and ask Yan Jiecheng to come and talk to him about the matter. Then we can ask him to meet at Jingshan Park. There will be a lot of people there, and we will have more evidence by then."

"Da Mao, if you can find some more acquaintances, please do so. We must make sure this matter is settled!"

"I don't believe that Yan Jiecheng is so shameless. His father Yan Fugui knows nothing!" Yu's father said viciously, "Since we are going to break up, let's do it thoroughly!"

"If Yan Fugui, as a father, doesn't teach his son well, then we should do it for him!"

Xu Damao smiled and nodded, "Dad, don't worry, leave this to me, I will definitely take care of it when I get back."

"It's alright, we'll leave first. We still need to prepare when we get back."

"Let's have a meal." Yu's mother tried to persuade her to stay.

Yu Li refused directly, "Let's wait until we get rid of that bastard Yan Jiecheng. After that, our two families can have a good meal together. Let's forget about today."

"There are still many things to do after Damao returns. If we don't arrange them soon, we will have to worry about them all the time."

"That's right, Mom. We'll go back first. Haitang, remember, we'll be at the north gate of Jingshan Park at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Be there waiting for you then." Xu Damao said while reminding his sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law nodded with red eyes, "Brother-in-law, I know, don't worry."

The Yu family accompanied Xu Damao and his wife out of the house before returning home.

"Let's prepare well. Although our status is not good, we can still prepare some money for our son-in-law. Then let Damao handle it."

"Okay, our family can only give a little money."

Perhaps they had found a solution and made up their minds. After Xu Damao left, the three of them had a look of relief on their faces.

Chapter 406: Yan Jiecheng Takes the Bait

In the afternoon, in the courtyard of the steel rolling mill.

"Wife, I'm going to the outer courtyard to find Yan Jiecheng." Xu Damao put down his chopsticks and took a sip of water.

Yu Li nodded. "Go ahead. Who are you going to find in our courtyard? Li Ming?"

"Yes, he did cooperate with me. Besides, he doesn't like Yan Jiecheng. If we want to find a witness in the courtyard, the only one who can be found is Li Ming, haha."

"That's fine."

. . . . . .

Outer courtyard.

Xu Damao searched the outer courtyard for a long time, but Yan Jiecheng was not there. He was very surprised.

"Brother Damao?"

Xu Damao raised his head and asked, "Xiao Wang?"

"Brother Damao, what are you doing outside Yan Jiecheng's house? Come in and sit for a while?"
