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

He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e, the elderly deaf women across the street, also came out.

Seeing that Wang Lin's window was smashed, He Yuzhu immediately mocked, "Serves him right! He got his comeuppance."

Lou Xiao'e slapped He Yuzhu and said to him, "Silly Zhu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

He Yuzhu curled his lip and said, "That's right, that little bastard Wang Lin only cares about himself, even God can't stand it anymore."

Lou Xiao'e was too lazy to argue with He Yuzhu. She stepped forward and asked, "Brother Wang Lin, are you alright?"

Wang Lin shook his head. He glanced back at his own window and thankfully, only a piece was broken, so it didn't affect anything.

He Yuzhu still thought it was good that Wang Lin's glass was broken. He stood with his hands behind his back, humming a song in a good mood, looking nonchalant.

Wang Lin looked at He Yuzhu without any anger, and instead asked with a smile, "I saw who broke my window, silly Zhu. Do you think Jia Banggeng will be able to have a good year if I report it to the police?"

Upon hearing that it was Jia Banggeng, He Yuzhu couldn't sit still any longer and immediately pointed at Wang Lin, warning him, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Wang Lin pretended to ride his motorcycle to report the case. He took out a marble and said to He Yuzhu, "This has Jia Banggeng's fingerprints on it. Send it for identification and the truth will be revealed."

Now it was He Yuzhu's turn to be speechless. Jia Banggeng only broke your window, so why report it to the police? He immediately stopped Wang Lin and said, "Wang Lin, you are an adult. Reporting to the police all the time is not manly at all, especially since it was just a child's prank."

Wang Lin chuckled and said, "Jia Banggeng is your son? Why are you meddling so much?"

Seeing that Wang Lin had started his motorcycle, He Yuzhu was determined not to let Wang Lin go to the police station to report the case. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this, go to Qin Huairu's house and have Qin Huairu compensate you for the window. There's no need to alarm the police."

Wang Lin reached out and begged, "Sure! Ten yuan, or I'll go to the police station."

"I didn't break the window, why should I pay for it!"

He Yuzhu didn't want to pay the money. He had lost his job and his house, so if he paid more, he would be a complete traitor.

"Then get out of here and go bark like a dog!" Wang Lin came down and kicked him.

This time, He Yuzhu was smarter. He dodged the attack and then arrogantly said to Wang Lin, "You can't kick me, you can't kick me."

Wang Lin stepped forward and slapped He Yuzhu across the face, leaving He Yuzhu completely bewildered.

He could have dodged Wang Lin's kick just now, so why couldn't he dodge this slap?

When Lou Xiao'e saw He Yuzhu being slapped by Wang Lin, she stepped forward and advised, "That's enough, Wang Lin."

He Yuzhu covered his face and glared at Wang Lin. He was furious. In front of Lou Xiao'e, that bastard Wang Lin hit him again. Didn't he have any dignity?

Wang Lin turned and strode towards the front yard, smashing the window. "You think you can sleep tonight? Dream on!"

At Qin Huairu's house, Jia Zhangshi's health had not fully recovered yet. She spent her days eating and sleeping, just like a pig.

The two sisters, Xiao Dang and Huaihua, are already asleep.

Qin Huairu was still scribbling in a small notebook; despite her limited education, she could still keep simple accounts.

Jia Banggeng is on vacation and now he just plays around every day and doesn't do his homework.

I just ran out and then ran back, like I did something fun, and I'm incredibly excited right now.

"Qin Huairu!"

Wang Lin went straight to Qin Huairu's house and kicked the door open. He looked at Jia Banggeng, who was somewhat frightened, and grinned.

"Wang Lin!"

When Qin Huairu saw Wang Lin arrive, she put down her shoe, stood up, and asked unhappily, "What are you doing at my house?"

Wang Lin picked up the marbles and said, "Your son, Jia Banggeng, just broke my window. You'll have to pay for it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu looked at her son, Jia Banggeng, who was still holding a slingshot, and instantly realized that Jia Banggeng had gotten into trouble again.

Startled awake, Jia Zhangshi scrambled to her feet and pointed at Wang Lin, cursing, "You heartless bastard! How could my grandson do such a thing? You must be framing him!"

Jia Banggeng immediately started to cry, repeatedly denying, "I didn't!"

Watching the old man and the young man's acting skills, Wang Lin casually said, "Okay! I'll report it to the police and let them investigate." With that, he left confidently.

Call the police?

Can't you afford it?

Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, and Jia Banggeng stopped making a fuss and quickly went to stop Wang Lin.

Chapter 145 Jia Zhangshi's Summoning of the Soul

"Brother Wang Lin, it's almost Chinese New Year, and Bang Geng didn't do it on purpose. You're an adult, so don't hold it against a child." Qin Huairu's words were meant to persuade Wang Lin to let it go.

After all, she really didn't want to pay Wang Lin a single penny in compensation.

“That’s right, you’re such a grown man acting like a child. How immature! It’ll sound terrible if word gets out.” Madam Jia echoed, her ugly face as if her grandson was only a few years old.

"Hehe." Wang Lin pointed at Jia Banggeng, who was about half a teenager, and said to the old man and the young man, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. Jia Banggeng is already twelve years old. Is he still the little kid you're talking about? What, is your Jia Banggeng a giant baby?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu retorted angrily, "Bang Geng is only twelve years old. Why are you, a grown man, getting angry with a child?"

"Wang Lin! You scared my precious grandson! Pay up!" Jia Zhangshi shielded the stalk behind her back, just like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Wang Lin looked at Jia Zhangshi and continued with a chuckle, "It seems your family doesn't want to celebrate the New Year. Well then, I'll be merciful and grant your wish. Go to the police station and report this to the police station. I'd like to see if they arrest you for not paying your debts."

"Wang Lin! What are you doing! Didn't we agree to pay you back after we got our wages?"

Qin Huairu knew she was in trouble as soon as she heard this. She had written an IOU to Wang Lin, but she never intended to pay it back. She always paid him back after she received her salary, mainly by delaying it. She would avoid Wang Lin missing the payday so that she could continue to delay by saying that she had spent all her salary on food.

"What IOU? When did our family owe you money? Falsely accusing us will result in compensation!" Jia Zhangshi pretended to be stupid, making it impossible for her to repay the money.

"I won't shed a tear until I see the coffin." Wang Lin turned and left.

Instead of continuing to argue with these two brats, it's better to go to the police station and report them to the police so that the officers can deal with them.

Bang Geng secretly prepared to ambush Wang Lin from behind with a marble, aiming at his buttocks. Just as he was about to let go, Wang Lin was pushed aside by He Yuzhu.

"Wang Lin! What are you doing at the widow's house in the middle of the night? Believe me or not, I'll get everyone to come out and judge this!" He Yuzhu, worried, chased after him from the deaf old woman's house in the backyard.

"boom!"

He Yuzhu felt something hit his crotch hard, and his face changed instantly. He covered his crotch with both hands and squatted down.

It turned out that the stick had already aimed at Wang Lin's buttocks, and just as it was about to let go, He Yuzhu appeared and pushed Wang Lin away, causing the shot to miss.

Qin Huairu turned around and saw her son holding a slingshot, looking lost. She immediately went over, snatched the slingshot from Banggeng, and threw it out the door.

As long as He Yuzhu can't find the slingshot, there's no evidence, and Qin Huairu isn't afraid of He Yuzhu causing trouble.

Looking down at the unlucky He Yuzhu, Wang Lin mocked, "You really are a widow's lapdog. You're the only one who can pull this scorpion's poop like this."

Upon hearing the words "forming a gang," Qin Huairu's expression instantly changed. "Wang Lin, what nonsense are you spouting! Sha Zhu doesn't care about his reputation, but I, a widow, do!"

Jia Zhangshi narrowed her eyes as she looked at Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu. Wang Lin's words couldn't be baseless; something must have happened between Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu that she didn't know about recently. She immediately stared at Qin Huairu with narrowed eyes like a venomous snake, as if scrutinizing her.

Qin Huairu bravely met Jia Zhangshi's gaze. She had nothing to hide with Sha Zhu, so she wasn't afraid.

Seeing how Qin Huairu used her, Jia Zhangshi's suspicions were largely dispelled.

"S!"

He Yuzhu gasped, feeling the pain. He looked down and saw a marble on the ground. It was exactly the same marble that had been used to smash Wang Lin's window. He immediately realized it was Bang Geng. But why was Bang Geng hitting him?

Did I push Wang Lin away just now? Is that why I took the beating for him?

Thinking about it this way, He Yuzhu wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he push Wang Lin away for no reason? Wasn't he indirectly saving Wang Lin and getting himself into trouble?

Wang Lin patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and continued to mock, "You treat Bang Geng like a treasure, but Bang Geng treats you like a piece of trash, hahaha."

He Yuzhu looked up at Bang Geng, who was hiding behind Qin Huairu. He saw that Bang Geng's gaze was very cold, as if he were looking at a stranger.

Were all those years of neighborly affection just a facade?

"Silly Zhu, don't listen to his attempts to sow discord."

Qin Huairu stood in front of Banggeng. She knew her son's personality and temperament. If He Yuzhu noticed anything and became suspicious, their family's life would become even more difficult.

How could Bang Geng, that ingrate, possibly acknowledge He Yuzhu? In Bang Geng's eyes, He Yuzhu was like a servant in his household, whom he could beat and scold at will.

Looking into Qin Huairu's sincere eyes, He Yuzhu still chose to believe her. He got up and said to Wang Lin, "Wang Lin, no matter how you try to sow discord, we won't fall for your tricks and make you a laughingstock."

Wang Lin rolled his eyes and said indifferently, "What does it matter to me if your regiment is not united? You have to pay for the window glass, or you can wait to visit their family in the detention room."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu recalled his days in the detention cell, which were extremely difficult. He looked at Qin Huairu and reminded her, "Wang Lin is a man of his word. Bang Geng did indeed break Wang Lin's window just now. We saw Bang Geng running into the front yard when we came out. Pay up to avoid going to the police station."

The smile that Qin Huairu had on her face just a second ago vanished the next, and she even scolded Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu! Would you die if you didn't say these things!"

Looking at He Yuzhu, who was already traumatized by the detention room, Wang Lin reached out to Qin Huairu and demanded, "Either pay me money, or send your son to the detention room. You choose one."

In this situation, anyone would choose to pay compensation and settle the matter, but Qin Huairu was different. She refused to pay, saying, "Bang Geng has been at home the whole time and hasn't gone out. Maybe the window glass was broken by a kid who ran in from outside. Why are you so sure it's my Bang Geng? I won't pay this money!"

Madam Jia Zhang also stubbornly refused to admit defeat, arrogantly and forcefully saying, "Get out! You orphan..." Before she could finish speaking, a slap mark appeared on her face.

Wang Lin slapped Jia Zhangshi, and said coldly with a stern face, "Jia Zhangshi, if you keep spewing filth, it won't just be a slap."

After being beaten, Jia Zhangshi was not about to let it go. She started to sit on the ground and act like a spoiled child, crying and shouting, "Old Jia! Dongxu! I've been bullied! Please come up and take him away!"

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi had started summoning spirits again, Wang Lin struck back with a heavy blow, saying, "Jia Zhangshi, you've killed your old Jia, and you've also killed your son Jia Dongxu. How dare you still summon spirits here?"

Chapter 146 Qin Huairu's family still want to eat meat? What a load of rubbish!

"You little bastard, what nonsense are you spouting? How could my husband and son have died because of me? I've had someone calculate it, and it couldn't have been me!"

Jia Zhangshi originally wanted to disgust Wang Lin, but instead of disgusting Wang Lin, she disgusted herself instead.

Her husband and Jia Dongxu are both dead, yet Jia Zhangshi still has the nerve to summon their spirits? Perhaps they were cursed to death by her.

“Your son may not have been killed by you, but your husband was definitely killed by you,” Wang Lin said with an air of absolute certainty.

"You're talking nonsense! Do you know anything about fortune telling? Do you know anything about face reading? You just open your mouth and start criticizing me. You don't respect the elderly and care for the young, you deserve to be without..." Jia Zhangshi wanted to curse Wang Lin for having no parents, but the next second she saw Wang Lin raise his hand and her voice immediately disappeared.

"Wang Lin, you still want to hit my mother-in-law? Aren't you afraid that the people in the compound will talk behind your back?" Qin Huairu jumped out again and started to morally blackmail Wang Lin.

“What am I afraid of! Your mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, promotes feudal superstition. I’ve already been very lenient by not reporting her to the neighborhood committee. But now that ingrate Banggeng has actually broken my window. Either you pay for it, or I’ll report it to the police. Choose one.” Wang Lin wasn’t going to be led by the nose by Qin Huairu.

"My son..." Qin Huairu wanted to explain further.

"Stop talking nonsense, think it through before you speak." Wang Lin warned Qin Huairu with his eyes. If Qin Huairu still dared to say that Bang Geng had never left the house, Wang Lin would turn around and report it to the police, making Qin Huairu regret it in the police station.

"Bang Geng is still young, and he didn't do it on purpose, so let's just let it go," Qin Huairu said without batting an eye.

“That’s right, Wang Lin, you’re an adult, why are you arguing with a child? You’ve lived so many years in vain.” He Yuzhu once again stood on the moral high ground to criticize Wang Lin.

"Idiot Zhu! What's it to you!" Wang Lin cursed at He Yuzhu, "What, are you going to pay for my windows?"
