Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"Fine, if you really find it difficult, then just pretend I was never here today."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong reached out to take the envelope containing the milk powder coupons and the red envelope containing the money, but before he could touch them, Qian Aihua stopped him.

He glanced at the things on the table, then at Liu Haizhong, sighed inwardly, and made a helpless expression.

"I know nothing about what you're talking about today."

Liu Haizhong was taken aback at first, but when he saw Qian Aihua nod at him, he immediately understood.

His face was beaming with a knowing smile, as if to say, "I know, no need to say anything."

"You're right, of course you wouldn't know. How could you possibly know such a thing?"

Liu Haizhong withdrew his hand, took a step back, and greeted him.

"Hey Lao Liu, you go ahead with your work, I'll be going now."

"Thank you so much, Lao Qian. You are truly a great benefactor to our family."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong walked out of the Qian family's house and swayed as he headed towards the courtyard house.

While walking, I would hum a few tunes to express my feelings.

For a cost of about twenty yuan, I got two houses. This deal was very worthwhile; I made a huge profit.

The deaf old lady's house had two south-facing rooms, which was much better than the one south-facing room that Yan Jiecheng occupied.

After returning to the courtyard house, he encountered Yan Bugui pushing a cart into the house in the front yard.

Ever since Yan Bugui's bicycle was dismantled once, he has never dared to leave it outside in the yard overnight.

Every night he would push his bicycle inside the house to prevent it from being vandalized again.

Yan Bugui looked at Liu Haizhong, who had a smile on his face, and asked with great confusion.

"Old Liu, where did you strike it rich? You seem so happy."

Liu Haizhong realized he had gone a bit too far, so he casually retorted.

"It's nothing. My second son is bringing his girlfriend home tomorrow. I'm just happy because I've finally gotten rid of him."

"You go ahead with your work, it's quite cold outside, I'll head back now."

Yan Bugui stared at Liu Haizhong's retreating figure, puzzled. Knowing Liu Haizhong as he did, he was certain the old man was lying.

After Liu Haizhong returned home, Liu Guangtian, who was lying on the bed, immediately sat up.

He got out of bed like a sycophant, poured a cup of hot water, and presented it to Liu Haizhong with a solicitous expression.

"Dad, how did it go? What did Uncle Qian say?"

Liu Haizhong took the water, placed it on the table, and nodded.

"It should be almost done. According to Lao Qian, the house hasn't been allocated yet."

“I told him everything I needed to say, and he accepted the things I sent.”

"It seems he won't cause us any trouble now, so the house deal is settled."

"Just like what the Yan family did before, whoever breaks the lock first goes in, and that's whoever lives in the house first."

"So, let's stay up late tonight, and in the middle of the night, Guangtian will smash that lock with a hammer."

"After it's all over, move two of our things in, and put in a quilt. That'll be considered a done deal."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangtian immediately perked up, while Liu Guangqi, standing to the side, expressed some concern.

“Dad, this is a house that the neighborhood took back. You just smashed it up without saying a word.”

"The neighbors will probably gossip, especially that idiot Zhu from the middle courtyard. Won't he come and cause trouble for you?"

"If things go wrong, he might go to the neighborhood committee and complain about you, and then things will become very difficult."

Liu Guangtian snorted.

"Brother, don't be like a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of a starving man. You're fat in the front but afraid of a tiger in the back."

"Don't try to act all high and mighty with your family. I'm telling you, I'm going to smash up that deaf old woman's house!"

The second aunt tried to persuade her.

"Guangtian, how dare you talk to your brother like that?"

“Your brother is only doing this for the good of our family, and what he said makes sense.”

"That silly Zhu's house burned down, and he's moved to the Jia family's place to live."

"I reckon he's eyeing the deaf old lady's house right now. If we smash it up, do you think he'll let it go?"

Liu Haizhong waved his hand.

"Don't worry about Sha Zhu. He won't dare to cause trouble. Even if he wanted to, Lao Yi and Lao Yan would stop him."

"He's lost his job now, do you think he can still fight against me and Lao Yan?"

"Moreover, wasn't He Yushui's house also obtained by his father breaking down the lock behind Yi Zhonghai's back then?"

“If he causes trouble, I will bring up old grievances with him. He won’t do something so foolish.”

"As for the other people in the hospital, ignore them. Let them say what they want to say. Our situation is indeed difficult."

With that, the matter was settled, and everyone dispersed. Liu Guangqi even left with a warning to "be careful, Sha Zhu," before departing.

As night fell, a click was heard and the lock on the door of the deaf old lady's house in the backyard fell to the ground.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu quickly rushed into the deaf old lady's house and put the things they had prepared in advance inside.

In this way, they have completed the basic process of occupying the house where the deaf old lady lived.

The next day, Liu Guangtian led a girl to the courtyard house. After turning into the alley, the girl stopped.

She looked at the robust-looking Liu Guangtian, then glanced at the gate of the courtyard house, and finally spoke.

"Guangtian, why don't you go back and ask first? I'll wait here for a while."

“I feel that if I go in now, and your parents disagree, then we will have no way out.”

Liu Guangtian smacked his lips.

"You're right, then I'll go back and sound them out first?"

Liu Guangtian returned to the courtyard alone. After entering the backyard, he saw Liu Guangfu still tidying up things in the room of the deaf old lady.

When he entered the house, he saw that only his mother was home, and he could not see his father, Liu Haizhong.

"Mom, isn't my dad home?"

Aunt Erda was dozing off in a chair by the stove when she heard Liu Guangtian's words and opened her eyes.

"Your dad was busy all morning and was tired, so he's lying down in the north room to sleep."

"Why did you come back alone? Where is your girlfriend, Zhou Yan?"

Liu Guangtian knew that the north room his mother mentioned was the room where the deaf old lady lived.

When his mother asked about his boyfriend Zhou Yan, he made up a story on the spot.

“Their supply and marketing cooperative has received a batch of pork ribs. The people in the store are unloading them. She’ll watch over them for a while and come back later.”

Aunt Er was slightly taken aback when she heard this. She stayed in the shop to watch over the store on the days when she was on call.

The supply and marketing cooperative has more than just Zhou Yan as an employee, so how could she possibly neglect her work for the sake of looking after the store?

Moreover, it's a bit unrealistic for him to unload the ribs at this time; it seems there's more to the story.

After thinking it through, she sat up straight and looked at Liu Guangtian, who had taken off his scarf, and asked him.

"Alright, stop trying to fool me."

"Tell me, what kind of trouble has Zhou Yan gotten herself into this time?"

Liu Guangtian put the scarf aside and said.

"Mom, what do you mean by 'stirring up trouble'? You're being really mean."

Auntie Er snorted.

"Okay, then I'll try to be nicer with my words. What did she ask for this time?"

Liu Guangtian pulled up a stool and sat down in front of Aunt Erda.

"Mom, this request was made by me, and has nothing to do with Zhou Yan."

Second Aunt said.

"Okay, whether you suggested it or she suggested it, tell us."
