Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

"Uncle, you're blocking my way, please move aside!"

Zhao De didn't want to talk to him or give him anything.

I just want to get home quickly and cook a big dinner to celebrate.

This guy is usually as stingy as a miser, but this time we're definitely going to get something out of him.

First, use some gentle words to silence him, then overwhelm him with grand pronouncements.

He thought this to himself first, and then heard Yan Bugui speak:

“Zhao De, I’ve heard about what happened today.”

“You never give me a single penny normally.”

"But now that we've done such a great service, we should at least have a couple of tables set up to celebrate."

"Let's make the courtyard festive and lively!"

"Don't worry, Uncle San will take care of things for you this time."

"It will definitely help you improve your neighborly relations and change how people perceive you."

Yan Bugui spoke eloquently and logically.

However, Zhao De secretly laughed to himself.

......................

In the end, he'll still have to pay for it himself, and all the food and drinks will be secretly pocketed by his third uncle!

"Hey Yan Laoxi, get out of here."

"Go find somewhere cool to rest. My affairs are none of your business."

“If you don’t move aside, I’m going to report you. There are suspected enemy agents planning to retaliate against me.”

Upon hearing this, the third uncle jumped back in fright, his face turning extremely pale.

He never expected Zhao De to be so ruthless.

【Pah, what a load of rubbish!】

[A well-intentioned act was met with ingratitude, and I even suffered a severe backlash!]

Even if you achieve great things, if you don't have elders in your family to help you, don't even think about getting married.

[You're likely to remain a bachelor your entire life, and end up without any descendants!]

After hearing Uncle San's thoughts, Zhao De stopped in his tracks just as he was about to leave the front yard.

Then he turned around and said sarcastically:

"Uncle, I heard that your eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, has successfully found a partner."

"But you got into a huge argument with the matchmaker over a few cents for the matchmaking fee."

"Be careful, or you might end up with nothing!"

Originally, Zhao De did not have a specific choice for his wife; he just wanted to find a suitable one by chance.

However, he has now made a decision and feels that Yu Li is a good fit.

A businesswoman as capable as her should absolutely not be allowed to marry into the Yan family.

.......................

Chapter Nine: Sha Zhu came to Zhao De to question him!

Yan Bugui was furious and cursed all the way home.

"Oh dear, old man, what's wrong with you?"

The three women were preparing dinner when they saw this and quickly asked what was wrong.

Yan Bugui told her what had just happened.

The three women immediately patted his back gently to comfort him and calm him down.

"Why are you angry with Zhao Desheng? Everyone in the neighborhood knows he's a real tightwad."

"Trying to get anything out of him is harder than climbing to heaven."

"Besides, you don't need to be afraid of him. The police came to the yard to investigate this afternoon."

"Everyone in our compound is honest and upright. We can't let that kid's nonsense affect us."

Yan Bugui nodded, picked up the enamel mug, and took a sip.

He also said that if I haggle over a few cents with the matchmaker, I might end up with nothing.

"You can tell this person doesn't know how to manage money just by listening to them. Don't they think a few cents are a lot of money?"

As the saying goes, you won't go broke from eating or dressing, but you will go broke from not planning ahead.

At this moment, Yan Jiecheng interjected:

"Dad, how did your talk with Aunt Wang go? When are Yu Li and I getting married?"

...................

He is already twenty years old and met Yu Li last month through a matchmaker.

Thanks to Yan Bugui buying a room in the front yard.

They arranged for him to work as an apprentice in a steel rolling mill.

The woman's family thought these conditions were good, so the blind date was considered a success.

Logically speaking...

Back then, many people could meet in the morning and get their marriage certificate in the afternoon; arranged marriages were incredibly fast.

However, Yan Bugui was heartbroken about the money he had spent on matchmaking.

He then started haggling with the matchmaker, Aunt Wang, hoping to get five cents less.

Matchmaker Aunt Wang was naturally unwilling, so the two sides started arguing.

And so, Yan Jiecheng's marriage has been delayed until now.

Yan Bugui looked at his eldest son and replied:

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon. She's already agreed to let us give her three mao less. I'll try to negotiate four mao."

"Then you can get married, and we'll definitely have a big, lively wedding."

"Invite everyone in the courtyard to attend, but leave Zhao De out. That'll infuriate him."

"okay!"

......................

Yan Jiecheng immediately became happy, and he didn't care who he invited to the wedding.

Now all he can think about is women, getting married as soon as possible, and those other things.

Actually, Zhao De also wanted women!

Seeing He Yushui suddenly appear before him surprised him and also made him somewhat tempted.

However, Zhao De had no intention of provoking this woman.

Because she is Shazhu's younger sister.

"Brother Zhao, you bought a car? And a new sewing machine! And so much delicious food!"

He Yushui opened her eyes wide in surprise.

At the same time, he looked at the car and sewing machine in front of him with envy.

And there were strings of tempting snacks hanging on the car.

She is currently a high school sophomore and usually lives at school.

I only go home on weekends.

However, the police came to the school today to talk to her.

Upon learning of the major incident that had occurred in the courtyard, she took leave to return home and see what was going on.

"Brother Zhao, I know everything that happened today."

"So that's why you didn't help the Jia family."

I'm so sorry for misunderstanding you all these years.

I want to say sorry to you here!

He Yushui's words were exactly what Zhao De wanted to hear, making him feel very comfortable.

......................

Seeing that she kept glancing at the bag of White Rabbit milk candies, Zhao De casually took out a few and handed them to her.

There was no other reason for doing this; I just felt that what she said came from the heart, and I should reciprocate.
