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

Wang Lin was busy on his own. Although he wanted to invite Fang Yue's family to his home for the New Year, they also had relatives and friends, so he had no choice but to spend the holiday alone with his two mythical beasts.

After finishing their meat buns, the two mythical beasts washed their hands and began helping Wang Lin prepare vegetables.

Surprisingly, the two babies have grown up and know how to help Wang Lin.

After teaching them once, Wang Lin went about his own business.

At this moment, three vehicles arrived outside the courtyard: two jeeps and a black sedan.

An old man, leaning on a cane and wearing a military overcoat, got out of the black sedan.

"Old Mu, slow down."

Secretary Chen rushed over to help him up.

Mu Weimin raised his hand to refuse Secretary Chen's offer. He looked up at the entrance to the courtyard and asked, "Is this where my grandson lives?"

Secretary Chen nodded and said, "Yes, after Miss passed away, Wang Lin lived in this compound with his two younger sisters."

Mu Weimin sighed and muttered to himself, "That girl is just like her mother, a stubborn brat. If she had come to me sooner, maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way..." At this point, Mu Weimin became sad. No matter what, Mu Qing was still his own daughter.

Secretary Chen went to the car and took out the prepared items, which were meat and malted milk powder.

Mu Weimin, leaning on his cane, strolled up the steps, with Secretary Chen and two guards following behind, carrying some things.

Uncle Yan Bugui was putting up couplets with his family outside the gate when he saw a stranger enter the courtyard. He put down what he was doing and went up to ask, "Who are you looking for?"

Mu Weimin looked at his third uncle, Yan Bugui, and then looked at Secretary Chen behind him.

Secretary Chen stepped forward and explained to Mu Weimin, "Old Mu, he is the third uncle Yan Bugui, who is in charge of this courtyard. He is a scheming fellow."

Mu Weimin remembered that the bespectacled, seemingly refined and learned Yan Bugui was the scheming devil. He ignored him and walked into the courtyard on his own.

Before arriving, Mu Weimin had people investigate everyone in the courtyard. Everyone's background was thoroughly investigated, except for one person whose identity was shrouded in mystery. That person was the deaf old woman who lived across the street in the backyard.

"Hey, hey, hey, you won't tell me who you're looking for. Are you visiting relatives?" Uncle Yan Bugui, seeing that the other party was ignoring him, stepped forward to block their way.

Secretary Chen stepped forward to stop the troublemaking Third Uncle Yan Bugui, saying, "We're here to visit relatives. You can go about your business and don't mind us."

Uncle Yan Bugui, with a righteous expression, disagreed, saying, "That won't do. What if someone's yard gets robbed if you don't tell them who you're looking for? It's the New Year!"

Secretary Chen was speechless. He replied, "We've come to find Wang Lin."

When Uncle Yan Bugui heard that they were looking for Wang Lin, and that the other party seemed quite wealthy, carrying a lot of things, including meat, malted milk powder, and candy—all things that are hard to buy—and even a 17-inch Shanghai brand television, he immediately said enthusiastically, "So you've come to see Wang Lin! I'll take you there."

Secretary Chen declined, saying, "No need, just tell us how to get there."

Seeing that there was no chance to retrieve anything, Uncle Yan Bugui, the third uncle, became too lazy to point out directions and simply said, "Find it yourself," before going about his own business.

You don't even understand basic social etiquette, yet you expect people to guide you for nothing? Dream on.

Secretary Chen knew the character of Third Uncle Yan Bugui, so he didn't argue with him and led Mu Weimin into the courtyard.

The other people in the courtyard watched curiously as someone brought so many things to their door.

Bang Geng and his two younger sisters were so engrossed in the meat that they couldn't move. He stopped Secretary Chen and the others and asked, "Who are you looking for? Are you here to deliver meat to my house?"

Secretary Chen looked at the boy with the watermelon-shaped haircut in front of him and said to Mu Weimin, "This is the widow's eldest son, named Jia Banggeng. He doesn't do well in school, and his character is also bad."

When Jia Banggeng heard Secretary Chen say that his grades were bad and his character was poor, he pulled out his newly bought slingshot from his pants, wrapped it with marbles, and aimed it at Secretary Chen. He fiercely threatened, "Leave me the meat and food!"

Mu Weimin slammed his cane on the ground and scolded, "At such a young age, you're not learning good things, instead you're robbing people on the road. If this were a few years ago, you would have been in serious trouble by now."

Secretary Chen frowned and shouted to those around him, "Whose child is this? Is there no adult to supervise him?"

Jia Zhangshi swayed over and angrily confronted Secretary Chen, saying, "What are you yelling about? You take a child's joke seriously. You're a grown woman, yet you're afraid of a child. It's shameful."

Jia Banggeng burst into laughter, seemingly laughing at Secretary Chen for being so timid.

Secretary Chen was humiliated and was so angry that he wanted to put down his things and teach Jia Banggeng a lesson, but he held back and said to Jia Zhangshi, "Is this how you educate your child who blocks the road and steals things?"

When Jia Zhangshi saw that the other party was carrying quite a lot of things, including meat, malted milk powder, and candy, and most importantly, someone was carrying a large television, she stepped forward to block their way and asked, "Who are you delivering gifts to?"

Secretary Chen frowned and said, "Please move aside. Anyway, it's not being delivered to your family."

Seeing that she was eyeing these things, Jia Zhangshi said enthusiastically, "You can leave them at my house, and I'll go and tell someone to come and pick them up. Otherwise, you'll make a wasted trip if no one is home."

These were the tactics Jia Zhangshi used years ago. When someone came to give her a gift, she would stop them and withhold it, then deny everything later.

Secretary Chen wasn't stupid; he had already investigated everyone in the courtyard thoroughly. He couldn't trust Jia Zhangshi's character, so he directly ordered the two guards behind him, "If anyone obstructs us again, arrest them and send them to the police station."

The two guards behind him immediately put down their things and revealed their Qs from behind.

This startled Jia Zhangshi, who hadn't noticed that the two guards were carrying Q on their backs.

When Q pointed at her, she was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, wailing, "The soldiers are bullying me!"

This shout attracted all the residents in the vicinity.

Mu Weimin said to the two guards, "Put Q away and leave. There's no need to argue with this shrew."

When Jia Banggeng saw his grandmother being bullied, he was truly brave and shot Mu Weimin with his slingshot.

Secretary Chen bravely shielded Bang Geng from the attack.

Marbles are quite powerful, especially at such close range.

Secretary Chen was hit in the chest by the marble, thankfully not in the head, otherwise it might have been life-threatening.

When Mu Weimin saw that someone actually dared to attack him, even though it was just a child, he was still furious. It's true that like parents raise like children. He immediately ordered the guards, "Send this assailant to the juvenile detention center. He's completely lawless."

Two guards immediately stepped forward and subdued the assailant, Jia Banggeng, on the ground.

Chapter 151 Jia Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi were taken away together.

After Jia Banggeng was subdued, he struggled and said, "You're bullying a child, let me go!"

The guards were too strong for Jia Banggeng to break free from. They held him down firmly and handcuffed him with the handcuffs they carried with them.

"The soldiers are bullying us! This is outrageous! Everyone come and see!"

When Jia Zhangshi saw the two guards bullying her grandson, she immediately got up and tried to rush over and cause trouble.

Secretary Chen clutched her chest; thankfully, she was wearing thick clothes, otherwise she might have had to be hospitalized for a checkup.

Mu Weimin, leaning on his cane, gave orders to the two guards: "Send this old woman to the police station for detention as well. She's been making trouble and hasn't been properly educated. Let her reflect on her actions in the detention center."

One of the two guards roasted Jia Banggeng, while the other roasted Jia Zhangshi, and then they took the two women, Nai Sun and Jia Banggeng, away.

The other neighbors in the compound did not dare to show themselves to stop them. The other party had a high level of influence and seemed to be someone important. It was impossible for an ordinary family to afford to give away a TV.

It's better to avoid trouble, especially during the Lunar New Year.

At this time, neither the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai nor He Yuzhu were present; only the second uncle Liu Haizhong was there. However, seeing that the other party was clearly not someone to be trifled with, he did not show himself to meddle in other people's business.

Only when the guards escorted Jia Zhangshi and Jia Banggeng away did Uncle Yan Bugui ask curiously, "What's going on? Why did you take Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng away? What did they do wrong?"

The two guards did not answer Uncle Yan Bugui. They escorted the old man and the young man out of the courtyard. The other guards who were waiting in the car immediately got off and took over. The four of them shoved the raging and shouting Jia Zhangshi directly into the car.

After Banggeng was put into the car, he looked at his grandmother Jia Zhangshi in fear and cried out, "Grandma, I don't want to go to the juvenile detention center. The people there are very fierce and beat people at the drop of a hat. I'm scared."

"Don't cry, Bang Geng! Your mother will find a way to save us. Who is this damned soldier?! When I get out, I'll make you pay!" Jia Zhangshi is in dire straits herself. To be sent to the police station for detention during the Lunar New Year is utterly humiliating. She won't even get to eat New Year's Eve dinner and will have to spend the next few days in detention.

Just as the grandmother and grandson were looking out of the car, Qin Huairu returned happily carrying three pounds of meat.

To get those three pounds of meat, Qin Huairu traded meat for meat, a considerable sacrifice.

Although Qin Huairu noticed the three cars at the gate of the courtyard, she was still immersed in the joy of getting the meat and did not pay any attention to the two familiar faces shouting inside the cars.

The guards drove the old man and the young man away; one was taken to a juvenile detention center, and the other to a police station detention cell.

As they passed by Uncle Yan Bugui's house, Yan Bugui saw Qin Huairu carrying three catties of meat. His eyes lit up and he said, "Qin Huairu, you still have the leisure to buy meat? Don't you know that your mother-in-law and Banggeng have been arrested by the soldiers?"

Qin Huairu froze on the spot upon hearing this. How could something like this have happened when she had only gone out to change the meat?

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, took the meat from Qin Huairu and said to her, "As payment, this meat is mine. You should go out and chase after them; they were just taken away."

"Bang Geng!" Qin Huairu didn't care about the meat anymore. Bang Geng was her precious darling, her future reliance, and she absolutely couldn't let anything happen to it. After giving the meat to Third Uncle Yan Bugui, she turned around and chased after him.

Uncle Yan Bugui watched Qin Huairu run out of the courtyard and looked smugly at the three catties of meat in his hand. He said, "Three catties of meat for a piece of news, what a bargain! How should we eat this three catties of meat tonight? Braised? No, braising is too oily. Stir-frying? Also too oily! Boiling is fine. It'll be all meat flavor and soup. No need to add oil. I'm so clever."

When Qin Huairu chased after them out of the courtyard, one of the jeeps had already driven away. The two guards were about to return to the courtyard to continue protecting Old Master Mu when Qin Huairu grabbed them and stopped them, asking, "Brothers, did you just arrest an old man and a young boy? Where did you take them?"

Upon seeing that Qin Huairu was a woman, one of the guards kindly replied, "That shrewish old woman has been taken to the police station for detention, and the young man who committed the crime has been sent to the juvenile detention center."

When Qin Huairu heard that one had been sent to the police station and the other to a juvenile detention center, she felt completely overwhelmed and asked tearfully, "What did they do wrong?"

The guards exchanged glances, and one of them replied, "Your child needs to be properly disciplined. He actually used a slingshot to injure Secretary Chen. It's already a great act of mercy that he wasn't arrested and imprisoned."

When Qin Huairu heard that her child had injured someone with a slingshot, she remembered that Jia Zhangshi had given Bang Geng money that morning, and he had actually bought another slingshot and caused such a big trouble.

Although the guards sympathized with Qin Huairu, they would not bend the law for personal reasons. They were so angry at Bang Geng's ungrateful behavior that they wanted to take off their shoes and give him a good beating.

Qin Huairu squatted down helplessly, hugging herself. She was crying very sadly and desperately needed someone to help her. The image of He Yuzhu flashed through her mind. She wiped away her tears and comforted herself, "Now is not the time to cry. I have to think of a way to save people." After saying that, she got up and went back to the courtyard. She was going to the backyard to find He Yuzhu.

At this moment, in the backyard, Secretary Chen, enduring the pain, led Mu Weimin to Wang Lin's house.

Wang Lin watched as an old man with a cane, guided by a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stepped into the backyard. He stopped what he was doing and looked up.

Mu Weimin and Wang Lin locked eyes.

One is a veteran who charged into battle for the country and the people. Although he is old and frail, his sharp edge still inspires fear.

One is a soul from the future, knowledgeable and possessing extraordinary abilities. He is calm and collected, like a still lake, making him unfathomable.

Secretary Chen saw that Mu Weimin and Wang Lin had made eye contact, so he didn't say anything.

"Good boy!"

Mu Weimin nodded. Few people could remain unmoved by his imposing aura of military might. He never expected that his grandson, whom he hadn't seen for nineteen years, would have such spirit. If he were sent to the army for a few years of training, he would definitely become a fierce general.

Wang Lin stepped forward and said to Mu Weimin, "Old man, since you're here, please come inside and sit down."

Mu Weimin asked in surprise, "Child, do you know me?"

Wang Lin nodded and said, "I've had the pleasure of seeing it in the newspaper a few times."

“That’s true, your mother certainly never mentioned my existence.” Mu Weimin felt a pang of disappointment. He was here today not as a national elder, but as his maternal grandfather.

"Grandpa, although this is the first time we've met in nineteen years, I can guess what's going on from the factory leaders' attitude lately, so don't treat me like a clueless kid. I, Wang Lin, am a top student." After saying this, Wang Lin smiled and stepped forward to help Mu Weimin into the house.

"As expected of my grandson, he's really smart." Mu Weimin laughed heartily, very happy.
