Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

Wang Lin stood up and blocked Fang Yue's way. He looked at "Olaf" as if he had activated a skill and provocatively said, "Today I want to see just how powerful you, the Siheyuan Sizhu War God, really are."

"Sister Qin, step aside! Today I'm going to teach Wang Lin a lesson on behalf of Mother Wang!" He Yuzhu was provoked by Wang Lin, and he couldn't tolerate it. In this courtyard, he was the "God of War" who would fight without hesitation and no one dared to challenge him!

"Shazhu! You're not worthy to teach me a lesson on behalf of my mother! When my two sisters and I were struggling to make ends meet, you never once helped us out!" Wang Lin's eyes suddenly reddened, as if he was recalling unpleasant memories.

After the Queen Mother passed away, a bunch of beasts set their sights on the Wang family. Some of them stole a lot of things under the guise of borrowing, and even when rice and flour were stolen, He Yuzhu never helped them once!

"You're a perfectly capable person, why do you need my help?" He Yuzhu frowned. Indeed, he had never helped Wang Lin even once. Even if Wang Lin starved to death, it would have nothing to do with him, He Yuzhu. His heart was only for Qin Huairu's family.

"Oh..." Wang Lin deliberately dragged out his words, saying loudly, "So you like to help widows! It seems your motives aren't so simple!"

"You son of a bitch! What nonsense are you spouting! I won't allow you to ruin Sister Qin's reputation!" He Yuzhu clenched his fists, unable to contain his anger any longer, and wanted to pin Wang Lin to the ground and give him a good beating.

The residents of this courtyard are not fools; they all know what He Yuzhu is thinking. Only he thinks that others can't see it, a typical case of burying his head in the sand without realizing it.

"Xiao Lin! How could you think of me like that? It's not easy for a widow like me to take care of my mother-in-law and three children... Waaah..." Qin Huairu started crying again. Her acting skills were truly superb. She could cry on cue without any preparation, as if her acting was always on point. She was definitely a movie star!

Qin Huairu's crying was pitiful, and most of the people crying were men.

"Never mind, Xiaolin, Qin Huairu's family has had a tough time!"

"Yes! A woman raising three children on her own!"

Most of the men who spoke well of Qin Huairu were actually eyeing this still-attractive widow.

Wang Lin scanned the men and clicked his tongue, saying, "I didn't realize you guys were so manly! His monthly salary is twenty-seven yuan and fifty cents! How much do you each earn?"

A moment!

The men who spoke up for Qin Huairu were dumbfounded.

Chapter 16: The College-wide Assembly - More Like a Joke Party

A monthly salary of 27.5 yuan?

Supporting three children and a mother-in-law shouldn't be a problem! There might even be some to spare!

Qin Huairu lived up to her reputation; her secret was exposed by Wang Lin!

How could Wang Lin, a worker who didn't work at the steel rolling mill, know how much he earned?

You should know that Qin Huairu always waited until all the workers had received their wages before going to collect hers each month, so no one knew exactly how much she earned each month.

He Yuzhu didn't know how much Qin Huairu earned in a month; he only knew that she had replaced Jia Dongxu.

Among the group, the most shocked person was Uncle Yi Zhonghai. He knew about Qin Huairu's salary, since he was involved in it.

How much can a widow who replaced Jia Dongxu earn in a month? There are eight levels of fitter skills. Jia Dongxu was only a level two fitter before, and his monthly salary was less than seventeen yuan and fifty cents.

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu had a secret, which is why Yi Zhonghai used his skills as an eighth-grade fitter to have a chat with the factory leaders.

After some maneuvering, Qin Huairu finally received such a high salary.

Of course, this matter must not be known to anyone, otherwise who would be willing to donate money to help Qin Huairu's family!

Seeing the shocked looks on the men's faces, Wang Lin turned to an old man named Yi Zhonghai and said to everyone, "Don't believe me? Ask old man Yi Zhonghai!"

"Grandpa! Is it really true?"

"Sir, say something!"

"How can a man like me earn less than a woman? And she always asks us to donate money to help Qin Huairu's family!"

"That's right! That money was life-saving money saved by tightening our belts!"

Seeing that everyone's emotions were getting higher and higher and the situation was getting out of control, Yi Zhonghai immediately calmed them down and said, "Everyone, calm down. Don't listen to the nonsense of an outsider who isn't from the factory."

Can't admit it!

If this matter is admitted, Yi Zhonghai's prestige in the courtyard will decrease.

In order to maintain control of the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu and subtly hinted, "Qin Huairu! Tell everyone, is Wang Lin spreading rumors about you?"

Qin Huairu understood Yi Zhonghai's implication. Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at Wang Lin, sobbing, "Little Lin! You can't make false accusations! Even though my husband has died, I'm not a widow to be bullied! I..."

Wang Lin interjected, "You've brought bad luck to Jia Dongxu!"

"Pfft!"

Fang Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Qin Huairu's carefully cultivated emotions instantly crumbled!

Wang Lin is inhuman!

"Wang Lin!" He Yuzhu's forehead veins bulged, and his eyes looked like he wanted to devour someone!

"Wang Lin! It's not easy for me to raise three children and take care of my mother-in-law all by myself... How could you say such a thing to me?" Qin Huairu continued to cry and play the victim.

Wang Lin continued repeating, "You brought death to Jia Dongxu!"

Fang Yue gave Wang Lin a thumbs up, saying, "That was a brilliant move!"

Qin Huairu had finally managed to build up her emotional intensity, only to have it ruined again by Wang Lin! This guy doesn't play by the rules!

Yi Zhonghai looked at the Third Uncle Yan Bugui, and his gaze seemed to prompt him to speak up and break the deadlock.

Having received benefits from Yi Zhonghai, Uncle Yan Bugui naturally wouldn't slack off. He calmly said, "Everyone, we have all witnessed the situation of Qin Huairu's family. As for Wang Lin saying that Qin Huairu's monthly salary is 27.5 yuan, I personally think it's unlikely. You should know that Jia Dongxu was only a level 2 fitter before, and his salary was less than 20 yuan. Even if he took the place, he couldn't possibly get such a high salary."

"That's right! We almost got led astray by Wang Lin."

"That's right, I knew it! How could Qin Huairu, a woman, possibly earn more money than me, a man!"

"Wang Lin has even learned to spread rumors now."

"Could it be that he turned to hate because he couldn't win He Yushui's heart, causing his personality to change drastically? I think that's how the protagonist in the comic book is."

Faced with the surrounding discussions, Wang Lin looked at the old man, Yan Bugui, the third uncle.

Uncle Yan Bugui was not afraid of Wang Lin, since he had nothing that Wang Lin could use to threaten or control him.

OK OK! That’s how you play it, right?

Yan Bugui was unaware that Wang Lin had taken a liking to him and that his future would be difficult.

Yi Zhonghai slapped the table, bringing the topic back to the main point. He said authoritatively, "Today we are going to discuss the matter of the closed gate in the backyard. Wang Lin has reopened it without authorization, which will bring certain hidden dangers to our compound. So everyone, let's vote on whether or not to open the back gate."

The backyard is so far from the front yard that people living in the left and right front yards don't feel any impact, and even people in the front yard don't feel any impact on them.

Seeing that everyone seemed to take the matter lightly, Yi Zhonghai added fuel to the fire, reminding them, "Don't underestimate this, everyone. What if a thief breaks into your backyard and steals something..." He left it to you to imagine.

Liu Haizhong immediately objected, saying, "As the second oldest man in the courtyard, I will lead the opposition against Wang Lin opening the back door of the backyard."

Yan Bugui also spoke in a sinister tone: "If there are too many doors in this courtyard, it's easy for unrelated strangers to sneak in. If there's only a front gate, people can come and go more easily, which can help improve the relationship between neighbors."

It must be said that when it comes to understanding and manipulating people's hearts, scholars are the best.

Yan Bugui's words resonated with everyone: a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative.

“I also disagree with opening the back door to the backyard; it's not safe for the deaf old lady to be alone,” He Yuzhu stated.

"Although Wang Lin spread rumors about me, I don't hold a grudge against him. I know he must have been misled. But regarding the backyard, I also disagree with using the back gate." Qin Huairu spoke with such righteous indignation, completely portraying herself as a good person who repays evil with kindness.

"Qin Huairu! You've brought Jia Dongxu to his death!" Wang Lin delivered another devastating blow!

"Wang Lin, you!" Qin Huairu could no longer hold back. Her face turned ashen, and she gritted her teeth, silently releasing her grip on He Yuzhu's hand.

I repaid evil with kindness, and you dared to reopen my wounds! And three times at that!

Freed from restraint, He Yuzhu felt empowered again and rushed forward, ready to teach Wang Lin a lesson with his fists!

"boom!"

A figure was sent flying backward.

Wang Lin patted the dust off his leather shoes and muttered to himself with a pained expression, "The foreign leather shoes my good buddy gave me are actually dirty."

The figure that flew backwards was none other than Siheyuan's War God, Shazhu!

Sha Zhu clutched his stomach, hunched over, and curled up into a ball!

Wang Lin is no longer the weak scholar he once was. After his transformation, his strength easily crushed the sycophantic war god, Sha Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to see He Yuzhu teach Wang Lin a lesson, but unexpectedly Wang Lin kicked Sha Zhu away with one kick!

This plot is wrong!

He Yuzhu was known throughout the courtyard for his fierce fighting skills. Every time Xu Damao provoked Shazhu, he would be beaten to a pulp, crying for his parents!

"Brother Lin! You're amazing!" Fang Yue looked at Wang Lin with admiration, like a little fangirl.

"Basic stuff! Don't be ridiculous!" Wang Lin said modestly, trying to sound cool.

Outside the crowd, Lou Xiao'e, who had come back to her parents' home, saw Sha Zhu wriggling on the ground as soon as she entered the courtyard. She joked, "What's wrong with Sha Zhu? Is he acting like a shrimp on the ground? You know what, he does look quite like one."

The residents who were trying to hold back their laughter couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This isn't a college-wide meeting; it's clearly a joke.

Chapter 17 One Kick KOs the Courtyard War God, Silly Pillar!

No one paid any attention to Lou Xiao'e's sarcastic remarks.

Wang Lin said to Lou Xiao'e, "Sister Xiao'e, this idiot Zhu, relying on his domineering ways in the courtyard, even tried to stand up for the widow and beat me up, but I knocked him out with one kick!"

Lou Xiao'e asked, "What does KO mean?"

Wang Lin explained, "It means to solve it easily without lifting a finger."

Lou Xiao'e understood. He Yuzhu definitely couldn't win an argument and wanted to resort to violence, but this time he was outmaneuvered and taught a lesson by Wang Lin.

"Serves him right!" Lou Xiao'e had no sympathy for He Yuzhu at all. After all, sometimes He Yuzhu was so hateful that you couldn't do anything about him.

"Silly Zhu! Are you alright?"

Qin Huairu was most concerned about He Yuzhu, after all, he was her long-term meal ticket! If he was injured and bedridden at home for ten days or half a month, how would her family feed themselves!

Yi Zhonghai also cared about He Yuzhu, after all, he was the most controllable person he had found to take care of the elderly, and he couldn't afford to have anything happen to him.

Others didn't care as much about He Yuzhu, and some even felt that Wang Lin's kick was very satisfying.

Normally, He Yuzhu would act arrogantly and domineeringly in the yard because of his great strength and Yi Zhonghai's favoritism. He would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement, and many people hated him!

Liu Haizhong pointed at Wang Lin and said in a superior tone, "Wang Lin! You intentionally injured someone! You'll go to jail!"
