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

Xu Wuli considered it for a while and then made a decision.

"Okay, I agree to your terms. Give me a hundred dollars, plus this sewing machine."

His idea was simple: Damao urgently needed money to live on.

As parents, they didn't have much savings.

He also has to raise his daughter, Xu Xiaofei, so he can only ask for money first.

"Words are not enough. To avoid you going back on your word, we need to write an agreement."

"Let Old Yi, no, let the three gentlemen act as impartial judges."

Jia Zhangshi borrowed paper and pen from Yan Bugui and asked him to write.

"Let's write an IOU while we're at it."

Yi Zhonghai coughed and reminded him.

Anyway, this matter is finally resolved.

He hurriedly looked out the window, only to find that Director Wang had already left sometime earlier.

Then, Qin Huairu watched with a wronged expression as Xu Wuli and the others carried the sewing machine away.

Originally, all that was needed was a hundred yuan in compensation, which was paid by the old man, but the old woman insisted on being greedy.

Now, the only valuable thing in the house is gone.

I bet even a mouse would cry if it came in.

Qin Huairu was not as simple as Jia Zhangshi imagined.

No matter who took the money and tickets, once they were used in Pigeon City, who could trace it back?

This "pigeon market" was actually a black market, and Qin Huairu used to frequently go there to exchange goods.

Sometimes they exchanged tickets for money, and sometimes they exchanged money for tickets.

In short, replace whatever you lack.

If Zhao De knew about this, he would probably be overjoyed.

Let's leave the money aside for now; those tickets can be given to Pianye to take to Northeast China later.

Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to find it.

At this very moment, Zhao De is teaching Yu Li to ride a bicycle in Beihai Park.

"Here, let me help you hold on, let's get used to riding a bike."

"Slow down, don't ride too fast."

Zhao De discovered that Yu Li was quite bold, saying that she wanted to learn to ride a bicycle.

She didn't refuse and readily agreed.

"Okay!"

Then she got on a bicycle and showed great talent for it.

Two hours later, he was not only able to ride independently, but he could even carry passengers.

During this period, the two naturally had many intimate interactions.

Several times, Zhao De wanted to take Yu Li to a small hotel.

After all, young people are full of vigor and passion.

A leisurely afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.

I'll buy you a bicycle another day.

"Then I also have a gift for you."

Yu Li didn't act coy; instead, she gave Zhao De a pleasant surprise.

No matter how much Zhao De pressed her for details, she refused to reveal what the gift was.

Back in the courtyard, Yu Li took out a scarf she had knitted herself.

"I knitted this for you, do you like it?"

"It's quite warm. My husband is really skillful."

"Who is your husband/wife? We haven't even had our wedding banquet yet."

"Doesn't that count as getting a marriage certificate?"

[Scarf: Mom and Dad are so shy!]

[Hat: Long hair, short wit!]

The two cuddled and snuggled together for a while.

Afterwards, Zhao De greeted the two elderly people.

He then drove Yu Li to Old Li's courtyard.

However, you have to take a detour along the way.

I need to invite a few close friends over, since it's more fun with more people.

In the Hongxing Courtyard.

The matter concerning Xu Damao has been temporarily resolved.

However, the matter concerning Jia Zhangshi is still pending resolution.

Everyone is just waiting for the person involved to come home.

However, even though it was past closing time, the person in question had not returned.

But as news from the parties involved spread, the courtyard was thrown into an uproar.

"Have you heard? Zhao De has been promoted to a level seven fitter."

“I just asked Liu Haizhong, and yes, he’s really capable. He’s only twenty-four years old and he’s already a level seven fitter.”

"Indeed, the girl who married him is so lucky."

"It's all Jia Zhangshi's fault. I thought Zhao De was smart since he was a child, and I even wanted to marry my daughter to him back then."

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi looked much more energetic.

However, medicine is not very effective for colds.

It can only be relied upon to fight off the immune system for a week before it gradually improves.

Drinking more water might help you recover faster.

When she learned that Zhao De had been promoted to a level seven fitter, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"I absolutely have to make him pay me two thousand yuan tonight, and he has to write an IOU for the rest!"

"I don't believe he won't be back today."

Jia Zhangshi's face was full of envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Zhao De.

In recent days, because of Zhao De's matter, her life has become worse day by day.

As before, Jia Dongxu went straight to bed as soon as he got home and ignored everything else.

Of course, he didn't mention a word about the valve core today either.

Anyway, it wasn't his money that was being used.

"Grandma, I'm back!"

Banggeng came running back like a gust of wind.

However, when Madam Jia saw that his hands were empty, she couldn't help but frown.

"Grandma, Sha Zhu has locked the cellar."

"what's the situation?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia instantly understood and immediately burst into a tirade of curses:

"Sha Zhu is such a heartless bastard, he even locked up the cellar."

"Isn't this blatantly preventing our Jia family from living a good life...?"

Chapter Forty: Jia Zhangshi once again stakes out Zhao De's door!

Although Sha Zhu used to frequently deliver lunchboxes to the Jia family and occasionally help them out.

However, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu never had a good impression of him.

After all, they believed that Sha Zhu harbored thoughts of treachery like Cao Cao.

Qin Huairu was very surprised by this, and she felt that there must be some other special reason behind it.

"Mom, let's just grab something to eat tonight."

Qin Huairu was meticulous; since Sha Zhu had already locked the cellar...
