The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Among the onlookers, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Sun were relieved to see that Li Kaixin had resolved the matter.

Seeing Aunt Qian's aggressive demeanor, the two of them were ready to go up and help.

In the center of the crowd, Li Kaixin ignored Aunt Qian on the ground and looked directly at Aunt Fang and Aunt Wu from courtyard number 95. He sighed and said:

"I originally planned to share some of the supplies with your department since we had a lot this time, but I think I'll pass now!"

"Don't!"

Among the onlookers, the third uncle, Yan Bugui, was the first to step forward. "Happy boy, didn't you say you were clear about right and wrong? We didn't do anything like that."

"Yes, yes!" The other residents of No. 95 also chimed in.

They could watch the show since they weren't included before, but now they can't sit still.

Li Kaixin hesitated for a moment, then said seriously:

"Uncle Yan, we don't know if there are any other people involved in your courtyard."

"But I have a flaw: I don't want to benefit those who scheme against me behind my back. So I'm sorry everyone."

After saying that, he went into courtyard number 93 without looking back.

He said these words on purpose; he wouldn't let those who came to disgust him get away with it.

Sure enough, not long after Li Kaixin went in...

The people in courtyard number 95 all stared intently at Aunt Wu and Aunt Fang.

Feeling uncomfortable under their gaze, Aunt Wu took a step back and asked, "W-what do you want to do?"

"What are you doing?" Yan Bugui sneered. "You two have come to the gate of someone's courtyard to cause trouble, making a complete disgrace to our No. 95 courtyard!"

"That's right!" another middle-aged woman chimed in.

Aunt Wu immediately became agitated: "That was Aunt Qian who told us to go, what does it have to do with us?"

"Just go when someone tells you to!"

Yan Bugui's eyes widened, and his voice rose higher and higher, "Then if I told you to give me all your money, would you give it to me too?"

"I was just..." Aunt Wu was about to argue when Aunt Fang stopped her.

Then, Aunt Fang looked at Yan Bugui and asked directly, "Third Uncle, just tell me what you want to do, stop beating around the bush."

Yan Bugui stopped pretending and said with a smile:

"Just now, Li said that there was supposed to be a share of the stuff for our compound, but you two have lost it. You two have to compensate the people in our compound."

He spoke cleverly, not mentioning himself, but bringing up the entire No. 95 compound.

"What? Old Yan, you actually believed that kid?!" Aunt Wu exclaimed in shock. "He's just trying to sow discord! Can't you see that?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui's face hardened: "Aunt Wu, how can you talk like that? She's been in the newspapers, how could she lie?"

He then turned to the people behind him and asked, "Don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes! They must compensate us."

"Otherwise, this matter won't end!"

The other residents of No. 95 nodded in agreement, chiming in with their own comments.

Aunt Wu and Aunt Fang were completely dumbfounded. Li Kaixin's words just now sounded like a lie, so why didn't anyone believe them?

Li Kaixin returned to the backyard and went straight to her room.

Hearing the noise, the parents, who were in the main room, pushed open the side door and came in.

Mother Qin Xiuli quickened her pace and asked, "Kaixin, what exactly happened with those people just now?"

Li Kaixin didn't hide anything and recounted what had happened.

After he finished speaking, his mother, Qin Xiuli, immediately became indignant: "How could these women do this! Whether we give it to you or not is our business, why are they forcing you!"

"Honey, there's nothing we can do about it. There are always envious people everywhere."

Father Li Mingde picked up the conversation, then looked at his son, his tone full of approval: "But I'm glad you handled this well."

He paused, then added, "You're really cunning, aren't you? Those old ladies are probably going to be the subject of a lot of complaints from the neighborhood."

"What are you saying!" Qin Xiuli, the mother, slapped her husband. "Being happy is called being smart!"

"Yes, yes, daughter-in-law, I misspoke, I misspoke," Father Li Mingde quickly begged for forgiveness.

Listening to her parents bickering, Li Kaixin's lips curled up slightly as she bent down and picked up the bag of things that had been prepared in advance from the corner.

Father Li Mingde was taken aback: "You've already sent it over?"

"Okay, it's better to give it to them early so we don't have to go through all that trouble later." Li Kaixin said, then picked up his things and walked out.

In the front yard of No. 94, Aunt Ye was waiting with a dozen or so men and women.

As soon as Li Kaixin entered the courtyard, Aunt Ye quickly greeted her with a smile: "Kaixin, come, come, let me help you carry it."

As she spoke, she reached out to take the bag from his hand.

"No need, Aunt Ye, these things aren't heavy."

Li Kaixin smiled and dodged to the side, her gaze sweeping over the dozen or so people standing in the courtyard. "Except for the Qian family, everyone else in the courtyard is here, right?"

"Everyone's here!" Aunt Ye replied with a smile.

Li Kaixin nodded slightly, put down the bag in her hand, opened it, and revealed the dried meat and various dairy products inside.

The people in the courtyard immediately brightened up, and several impatient ones had already squeezed to the front.

"Don't worry, everyone will get some."

Li Kaixin smiled and then looked at Aunt Ye beside her, "Aunt Ye, everything is priced. If they want it, please distribute it."

"Okay, I'm happy!"

Aunt Ye readily agreed, then looked around at everyone, "Let's split it evenly. I'll give you your prices now. Raise your hand if you don't want a certain item. What do you think?"

"Sister Ye, stop asking us questions and let's get started!" Yu Guifen couldn't help but urge.

"Guifen, what's the rush!" Aunt Ye glared at her, bent down and took something out of the bag, holding it up for everyone to see: "This is dried mutton, 50 cents a pound."

As soon as he finished speaking, a collective gasp was heard, and not a single person raised their hand.

"How much?" Yu Guifen thought she had misheard.

Aunt Ye flipped the note on the mutton jerky over and said irritably, "Can't you read it yourself?!"

Yu Guifen leaned closer to take a look and, sure enough, it was only 50 cents. Her mouth dropped open in astonishment: "This is too cheap! The mutton sold on the street front costs 1.2 yuan per jin (500g) if you need a coupon!"

"Of course!" Aunt Ye raised an eyebrow. "Guifen, do you want some?"

"Of course I want it! I'm not stupid!" Yu Guifen quickly replied, afraid that if she was too slow, she wouldn't get any.

Everyone else present burst into laughter when they saw her like this.
