Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

A large group of people were outside the door.

Leading the group was Yi Zhonghai, followed by Jia Dongxu, Sha Zhu, Jia Zhangshi, and then Xu Damao and his men.

So many days.

Wan Ping'an met Xu Damao for the first time.

In 1950, Xu Damao was still a young man, without his signature mustache, only a light, fuzzy beard.

"What's up?"

Wan Ping'an stared at Yi Zhonghai.

"Ping An, I heard you've grown tomatoes?"

Yi Zhonghai asked with a smile, but a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Wan Ping'an doesn't respect him at all, that won't do!

We have to teach Wan Ping'an a lesson!

"Correct!"

Wan Ping'an nodded.

"Ping An, that's not right of you. You grew tomatoes, why don't you share some with your neighbors in the yard?"

"I have to seriously criticize you. It's unacceptable to hog food. You need to learn to team up and share!"

"..."

Yi Zhonghai began to launch into a lengthy discourse.

"stop!"

"Stop doing this."

"Why should I share my tomatoes with you?"

Wan Ping'an interrupted Yi Zhonghai.

"Wan Ping'an, you're going too far! You don't even listen to your old man?"

Sha Zhu, as Yi Zhonghai's henchman and number one and only enforcer, loudly berated Wan Ping'an.

"Wan Ping'an has no compassion at all; he only knows how to eat alone."

"Old man, I think we should tie him up, put a tall hat on him, hang a sign on him, and have him denounced!"

Jia Zhangshi was even more ruthless.

Ping An eats meat every day and poisons his food every time. She's been eyeing Wan Ping An for a long time and wants to teach him a lesson he'll never forget.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Wan Ping and sneered.

He remained silent and made no statement, letting everyone criticize Wan Ping'an.

"Shut up, everyone!"

"Why should my things be distributed to you at Yi Zhonghai's behest?"

"Because Yi Zhonghai has a big face?"

"Or is it because you're shameless?"

“If you want to divide it up, that’s fine. Yi Zhonghai, take the lead. Yi Zhonghai, as an elder, why don’t you distribute all your property to the people in the courtyard?”

"If you dare to split it, I'll split it with you!"

"Yi Zhonghai, do you dare?"

Wan Ping'an sneered.

So what if we have to be enemies with all beasts?

As a man with a system, a transmigrator, how could I possibly be afraid of a bunch of beasts?

"well said!"

Xu Damao shouted his approval.

Clap loudly.

From childhood, he and Sha Zhu were mortal enemies.

Yi Zhonghai always favored Sha Zhu.

Seeing Wan Ping'an confront Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao was very happy. He finally had a teammate, and one whose fighting skills were even better than Sha Zhu's.

"Uncle, Ping An said that as long as you divide the family property, he will only get tomatoes."

“You’re an old man, a moral exemplar in the neighborhood.”

"You should set an example for us!"

Xu Damao made sarcastic remarks.

"How dare you! When did you get the right to speak?"

Yi Zhonghai was furious.

He didn't want to spend a single penny.

He always used other people's money.

Making him pay out of his own pocket is like cutting off a piece of his flesh; it hurts!

Reluctant to part with it!

"Xu Damao, how dare you talk to an old man like that? Are you asking for a beating again?"

Sha Zhu raised his fist and gestured at Xu Damao.

Before He Daqing abandoned his siblings, he had already gotten involved with Yi Zhonghai.

Wan Ping'an speculated that He Daqing abandoned Sha Zhu because he realized that Sha Zhu was beyond saving.

"Aren't you going to apologize to this old man right now?"

Sha Zhu stepped forward.

"Silly Zhu, what did Da Mao say wrong?"

"Why are you apologizing?"

Wan Ping'an took a step forward, facing Sha Zhu directly, and stared coldly at Sha Zhu.

His gaze was sharp as a knife, as cold as ice that had stood for millennia.

Sha Zhu shivered.

Wan Ping'an's gaze was too sharp, and it even faintly revealed a murderous aura!

"Silly Zhu, come back!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed inwardly.

Sha Zhu is no match for Wan Ping'an.

He Daqing already had a problem with him. If Sha Zhu got beaten up by Wan Ping'an because of him, He Daqing would definitely beat him up too.

"Haha, you chicken out, you silly Zhu!"

"You're scared!"

Xu Damao smiled happily.

He thought he was going to get another beating, but to his surprise, Sha Zhu was scared off.

"Ping An, do you sell your tomatoes?"

"I'm not like them. I'm greedy too, but I won't steal from others. I'll buy it!"

Xu Damao had already smelled the aroma of tomatoes.

You have to put your nose right up to a regular tomato to smell its faint aroma.

The tomatoes that Wan Ping'an brought back could emit their aroma from a great distance.

Xu Damao guessed that the tomatoes Wan Ping'an brought back must be from the same class, and perhaps even a special supply that only important people could eat.

"Buy them, five cents each."

"If you're going to buy one, I'll pick out the biggest one for you."

Wan Ping'an nodded.

"Okay, five cents each. Uh, wait, Ping An, how much do you want for one?"

Xu Damao was stunned.

The action of taking out money stopped.

Did he mishear, or did Wan Ping'an say something wrong?

"Five cents each!"
