Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Fifty or sixty yuan can buy you a bicycle!

That's such a great deal!

The group of people in the courtyard all had their eyes shining, and they were making all sorts of plans in their minds.

They certainly don't know how to fix it, but there are others who do.

When neighbors ask for a favor, it's just a small act of kindness, and you can't refuse!

Who to look for?

All eyes turned to Yi Zhonghai, who was no longer the steward but now seemed to be carrying a criminal aura.

This old man, who used to be quite old, always liked to say that one shouldn't only think of oneself, but should help and support each other.

Now is the time when we need his help!

Of course, if they wanted Yi Zhonghai's help, they first needed to get their hands on an abandoned bicycle.

Without a single bicycle available for repair, all their plans were destined to be in vain.

Although Shen Zhishou didn't know what these people were up to, he could guess.

However, this kind of thing is just a case of one party willing to hit the other, and the other willing to be hit.

He was certain of one thing: these people would never ask him for help with this job. After all, there were people in the courtyard who were more suitable than him.

If the people in the courtyard could think of Yi Zhonghai, then Shen Zhishou certainly could too.

As the moral exemplar in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was only deceived in the matter of Jia Dongxu. Although he made a mistake, it was not a big one; he simply misjudged people.

When everyone started eating dinner, the people gathered in the front yard dispersed.

Shen Zhishou also went back inside and had dinner with Yu Li.

Halfway through the meal, Yu Li asked about the job she had asked Lou Xiao'e to inquire about.

"I didn't mention this to Xiao Wang!"

Shen Zhishou glanced at Yu Li calmly and gave her an answer that surprised her.

"Why?"

Yu Li was taken aback, feeling that this was not Shen Zhishou's usual way of dealing with people.

Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "Wife, do you know Lou Xiao'e's family background?"

"have no idea!"

Lou Xiao'e's identity was not a secret in this courtyard, but not everyone knew it either.

In short, those who know, know; those who don't, don't know.

Shen Zhishou smiled and continued, "Lou Xiao'e's father is Lou Bancheng. The steel rolling mill used to belong to the Lou family!"

"what!"

Yu Li stared wide-eyed in shock, finding it hard to believe that Lou Xiao'e had such a background.

"Given the current situation, there are some unpleasant rumors circulating outside. If we let Xiao Wang help arrange a job for Lou Xiao'e, wouldn't we be putting her in a difficult position if anything were to happen later?"

"Besides, with the Lou family's capabilities, is it really that difficult for Lou Xiao'e to go to work?"

Shen Zhishou didn't think it was difficult for Lou Bancheng to find a job for his daughter.

In fact, Lou Xiao'e might not even need Lou Bancheng to step in; as long as Lou Tanshi goes out, Lou Xiao'e could find a very good and enviable job.

But no!

Shen Zhishou didn't understand what Lou Bancheng was thinking, but what were they doing getting involved in something that such a big shot like him had never done despite all the ups and downs he had been through?

So what if they're time travelers?

Do you really have a better eye for talent than the other party?

Don't be ridiculous!

The truth will be very pleasing!

Ninety percent of time travelers, once they actually travel through time, will only end up as corpses in mass graves.

Want to wield power and influence in the imperial court?

Even if his own father was the emperor, he would still get slapped a few times for spouting such nonsense!

Shen Zhishou didn't say much. There was no need for him to explain the intricacies of the situation; Yu Li would figure it out herself.

"Honey, how should I respond to Xiao'e about this?"

"If I had known about her background earlier, I wouldn't have said anything!"

Yu Li was somewhat conflicted.

Shen Zhishou simply smiled and said, "Just say that the spots have already been used, and don't mention the extras!"

"So, how should I get along with Sister Xiao'e from now on?"

"Do whatever you want with them!"

Shen Zhishou wasn't worried about any problems arising from Yu Li's relationship with Lou Xiao'e. After all, in the original story, even when Lou Bancheng and his wife were arrested, Lou Xiao'e wasn't affected in any way.

"That's good!"

Hearing Shen Zhishou's words, Yu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

She still really enjoyed spending time with Lou Xiao'e.

……

On her day off, Yu Haitang went to the courtyard house with He Yushui again.

However, Yu Haitang was simply there to freeload at the Shen family's house.

When she saw that Yu Li actually had a bicycle, her eyes gleamed with a different kind of light.

"Sis, did your husband buy this for you?"

"I guess so!"

Thinking about the origin of the bicycle, Yu Li gave an ambiguous answer, but Yu Haitang was not so easily fooled.

She quickly found out where the bicycle came from.

"Sis, can you ask your husband to help me save up for one too?"

"I can pay!"

Yu Haitang looked at Yu Li with longing eyes.

Yu Li rolled her eyes at her and said, "What are you dreaming of? This is all just luck. Do you think there are scrapped bicycles everywhere, that you can just grab one anytime?"

"..."

Yu Haitang immediately fell silent.

"Sis, where's my brother-in-law?"

"Your brother-in-law went to the train station to do odd jobs!"

"What?! Doesn't my brother-in-law get tired? He already has a job, why is he still doing odd jobs?"

"Sis, you're so inconsiderate of your brother-in-law!"

"Go away, go away, go away! You're so considerate of your brother-in-law, but you come here to freeload!"

Yu Li kicked her younger sister, then suddenly stood up, took a photo from a drawer, and placed it in front of Yu Haitang. "Look, this is a young man from your brother-in-law's workshop. He comes from a well-off family and is looking for a partner. Take a look, do you like him?"

In the photo, Wang Mingliang, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, looks particularly dashing.

Yu Haitang's eyes lit up when she saw the photo, but she still spoke shyly, saying, "Sister, I'm still young!"

"Didn't find anything you like? Okay, I'll ask Rainwater again later!"

"sister--"

Yu Haitang immediately panicked, "I never said I didn't like it!"

"Then why do you talk so much nonsense!"

Yu Li snorted, "However, let me make this clear first: if you go back and meet someone you like, you'd better tone down your temper and your petty temper!"

"Stop thinking about all that nonsense, just focus on living your life well!"

"If you don't intend to settle down with Xiao Wang, you'd better stop messing around!"

Thinking of Shen Zhishou's concerns, Yu Li directly offered some advice to her younger sister.

Unfortunately, Yu Haitang didn't listen at all.

Seeing Yu Haitang's careless attitude, Yu Li slapped her arm.

It was only because it was cold and she was wearing a lot of clothes that she was okay; otherwise, that slap would have made Yu Haitang jump up.

"I'm talking to you!"

"I'm listening, I'm listening!"

Yu Haitang quickly returned the smile, "Sister, don't worry, if I'm right, I'll definitely learn from you and be a good wife and mother!"

Hearing this, Yu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, let me give you a heads-up: after you and Xiao Wang meet, I'll also ask Yu Shui to meet you too. If Xiao Wang doesn't like you in the end, don't cause any trouble!"
