Courtyard House: Drunk and tipsy, the whole courtyard exposed at the start.

Zhang Dabiao felt empty inside. He didn't even know what he was thinking at that moment. In the end, he could only put his hands in his pockets and walk helplessly towards No. 95 Yu'er Hutong.

Even if I catch up with her, it's Sun Xiaojing. What should I say?

If it's not Sun Xiaojing, what else can we say?

I'll go to Beihai Park again tomorrow to wait. If we're meant to meet, we'll definitely see each other again.

Actually, Zhang Dabiao didn't hate his ex-girlfriend Sun Xiaojing. On the contrary, he wanted to say something—

I am sorry.

They started dating in their senior year of college and dated for a full eight years, to the point where they were about to get married.

But what about yourself?

Being optimized, buying a house at a high price, and then overdrawing credit cards to buy stocks after the National Day holiday...

A winning hand was played terribly...

If I were more prudent, I would have gotten married long ago.

He couldn't provide the life she wanted, her parents didn't approve of their daughter continuing to be with him, and he had wasted eight years of her youth...

Actually, when you really look into it, it's all Zhang Dabiao's own fault.

Sun Xiaojing had suggested to Zhang Dabiao that they could have a bare-bones wedding, rent a house first, and then buy one when house prices dropped in a few years.

With such an understanding wife, he must be so happy!

But Zhang Dabiao wouldn't listen. He was very chauvinistic and believed that when it came to buying a house, you should only buy when prices were rising, not falling!

In 21, when housing prices in Wuhan were high, Zhang Dabiao was ambitious and wanted to buy a house to prepare for his wedding!

Sun Xiaojing couldn't persuade him and was willing to contribute to the down payment, but Zhang Dabiao refused to listen.

Buying a house is a man's business. I'm a concept artist at a game outsourcing company, earning 15K a month. What am I afraid of when it comes to the down payment?

Okay, Sun Xiaojing suggested that we buy a small one-bedroom apartment first, or a second-hand apartment, and then upgrade to a bigger one when the price is right and we have more money in a few years. That way, the pressure will be less.

Zhang Dabiao ignored the advice and went straight for an 82-square-meter new apartment, priced at 1.8 yuan per square meter!

The house is priced at 147.6 million yuan, with a 44% down payment of 3 yuan. The commercial loan interest rate is 5.68%, with a 20-year loan term. The monthly payment is 7200 yuan, and the total repayment is 173.5 million yuan, of which the interest alone is as high as 70.2 yuan! That's half a house!

But Zhang Dabiao felt that with a salary of 15k, he could afford to pay it back!

In the end, Zhang Dabiao bought the house under both their names, and Zhang Dabiao paid the mortgage, but Sun Xiaojing covered the renovation and home appliances.

The renovation just finished, and Zhang Dabiao got laid off...

Thinking about this, Zhang Dabiao slapped himself twice—why was he so stubborn?

Why are you so stubborn?!

And then, damn it, the pandemic hit...

Finding a job after Wuhan's lockdown was lifted wasn't easy, but I still had some savings, so doing odd jobs at home wasn't a bad idea.

At that time, Sun Xiaojing's work was also not going well. They had originally planned to get married first, pay off the mortgage together, and do some self-media or online courses as a couple. But Zhang Dabiao's pride got in the way. He felt that if his job was unstable, he would be letting Sun Xiaojing down. He wanted to earn more than 2 yuan a month from freelance online work within a year! Otherwise, he wouldn't even have enough money for the wedding.

But the AI ​​era is here again, and we don't need as many original illustrators anymore. The art director and original illustrator from outsourcing companies, combined with AI, will be enough...

Finally, I worked as a food delivery driver, earning a meager monthly salary that was enough to pay off my mortgage. But then, on a whim, I followed a colleague's lead and started investing in stocks, hoping to turn my life around. After the National Day holiday in 24, I cashed out 20 yuan from my credit card and entered the market...

……

What else can be said?

Finally, the bank notified him that the overdue payment would affect his credit score, and if things continued this way, they would take back his house and auction it off.

Sun Xiaojing had a fight with him about this because it had been several months overdue and she hadn't known anything about it.

It's all because of Zhang Dabiao's male chauvinism. He didn't dare tell her about it, and he didn't want to use her family's money, for fear of losing face.

Because he no longer has parents and relies on the woman's family for financial support... he really can't bear the shame of being treated like this.

Then the two had a fight, and Sun Xiaojing's parents felt that he was too "immature" and took Sun Xiaojing back home, and the two broke up.

I was thinking of giving them some time to cool off. As long as Zhang Dabiao bowed his head and made a statement, Sun Xiaojing's family would help pay off the loan, and the young couple could get married and live a good life.

But then Zhang Dabiao got drunk and suffered alcohol poisoning, and ended up time-traveling...

Before even entering the courtyard gate, Zhang Dabiao had already slapped himself more than ten times across the face.

"You're the only one who won't listen to advice! You're the only one who won't listen to advice!"

"Otherwise, we'd already have kids by now!"

I regret it!

I truly regret it!

What the hell is this?!

Zhang Dabiao was in a terrible mood.

As soon as he entered the compound, he ran into the gatekeeper Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui instinctively took a step back when he saw him. This kid was too wicked when he wanted to "take revenge," and Yan Bugui was a little afraid of him.

But there are handprints on his face?

Then, out of the blue, I asked, "Da Biao, did someone beat you up?"

Zhang Dabiao rolled his eyes at him, initially wanting to retort with "None of your business," but considering that he was still his Chinese teacher and homeroom teacher...

Forget it, I'll just have to hold back.

Without saying a word, he walked directly towards the Intermediate People's Court.

Yan Bugui, standing behind, wanted to stop him but didn't dare, muttering to himself, "This Zhang Dabiaozi is so rude!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Sha Zhu lift the curtain at his door, and his eyes met Zhang Dabiao's.

"Zhang Dabiao!" Sha Zhu shouted angrily.

Zhang Dabiao had lost track of his "girlfriend" and was already feeling down. Then, for some reason, he suddenly blurted out—

"Your grandfather is here!"

……

Everyone in the courtyard was stunned by this answer...

That's Zhang Dabiao for real!

"I'll kill you!" Sha Zhu couldn't stand this blatant humiliation. His eyes turned red, and he rolled up his sleeves and charged forward.

Zhang Dabiao, in a moment of impulsiveness, charged headlong into it!

He assumed a Wing Chun starting stance, got into a horse stance, and then hooked his fingers back slightly—

"Come here!"

The neighbors in the courtyard were all stunned!

I've never seen anyone so shameless. Has Zhang Dabiao gone mad again?

Sha Zhu was already red-hot, and he got close in an instant.

"Holy crap?!"

However, Zhang Dabiao misjudged Sha Zhu's fighting strength and was caught off guard, taking a heavy punch to the face.

However, he misjudged his own defensive capabilities. Zhang Dabiao of this era was already tough and thick-skinned, and after the two bodies merged, his defensive capabilities were slowly increasing.

Therefore, the impact of this punch...

It seems like it can still handle it.

Then Zhang Dabiao's wild punches clashed with Sha Zhu's strength and wrestling. The two fought back and forth, but in just a few moves, Zhang Dabiao was tripped to the ground by Sha Zhu's wrestling technique.

Then Sha Zhu swung his fist and started punching Zhang Dabiao like crazy.

The neighbors in the courtyard rushed over to break up the fight, and He Yushui exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Dabiao covered his head with both hands and shouted, "Don't worry about anything! Hold He Yushui back!"

"I'm going to fight Sha Zhu one-on-one, nobody else get involved!"

The Liu brothers hesitated for a moment, then strictly followed Zhang Dabiao's instructions and blocked the crowd. Even Liu Genhuzi came to help "maintain order."

Then Zhang Dabiao, bracing against Sha Zhu's fists, locked him in place with both hands and feet, rolled on the ground, and prepared to turn over.

But Sha Zhu was trained and strong, so he didn't let Zhang Dabiao succeed.

While beating Zhang Dabiao, he yelled in a fit of rage, "I'll teach you a lesson for not respecting the elderly and caring for the young!"

"I'll teach you a lesson for bullying Sister Qin!"

"I told you not to hit the elderly or children!"

"I'll teach you to be so arrogant all the time!"

"I told you not to mess with this old man for no reason!"

Sha Zhu's resentment runs deep!

"You bastard, just beg for mercy and say you were wrong, and I'll stop!"

"Brother, stop hitting him!"

"You idiot Zhu, you son of a bitch, fuck your grandpa!"

"Da Biao, do you need any help? Just a filter will do."

What kind of weird stuff has gotten in here?

Zhang Dabiao would never beg for mercy, even if it meant certain death. Although the situation was dire, with him being beaten one-sidedly, he was thick-skinned and could hold on. He twisted and turned on the ground, and whether it was a burst of strength or something else, he actually managed to flip himself over. Then, in the chaos, he clamped his legs around Sha Zhu's head and grabbed his arms.

Sha Zhu couldn't turn over for a while?

Is it locked?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhang Dabiao had been beaten badly and his nose was bleeding, Sha Zhu couldn't move now, so it was still uncertain who would win or lose.

"You bastard, let go!"

"Didn't you hear me? I told you to let go!"

Suddenly, Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up—

Isn't this a Brazilian armbar?!

How did it get to this point?

"Silly Zhu, who's the boss now? Do you admit defeat? Call me 'Master Biao' and I'll let go!"

"How old are you anyway! There's absolutely no way I, Master Zhu, will admit defeat!" Silly Master Zhu hadn't realized how dangerous the move was; he only felt that he couldn't get up, so naturally he refused to admit defeat.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Opportunity knocks but once," Zhang Dabiao thought without hesitation, grabbing Sha Zhu's arm and forcefully bending backward—

—Click!—

"Ah! My hand!"

Sha Zhu was in excruciating pain! As soon as Zhang Dabiao let go, he clutched his arm and rolled around on the ground frantically!

Everyone was stunned—Holy crap, that's ruthless?!

They broke Sha Zhu's arm?!

Without any hesitation!

He Yushui was also dumbfounded. It was just a fight, how did it escalate to this extent?

"elder brother!"

"Silly Zhu!"

"Zhang Dabiao, you broke my grandson's arm, I'll kill you..."

The deaf old woman rushed over with her cane, but Zhang Dabiao kicked the cane away with a high kick!

The deaf old woman stumbled backward and fell, but was caught by a neighbor.

Zhang Dabiao went straight over, picked up the deaf old woman's cane, placed it on a brick at an angle, and broke it in a few steps.

Unfortunately, there was no gold in the wood...

Negative Ratings.

He had always been very curious about this.

However, the dragon head of the cane is made of brass and is extremely heavy. The tip of the cane is also covered with iron. If you get poked by it... you'll either be injured or crippled!

Using a cane to stomp on a horse is a deadly weapon; no wonder it makes a thumping sound when it's pounding the ground all day.

Zhang Dabiao tossed the dragon head of his cane up and down in his hand, staring at the deaf old woman with a sinister smile and said, "Old deaf woman, you're trying to kill me by hitting me on the head with this brass dragon head, aren't you?"

"This is my last warning to you."

"Whoever fucking wants my life, I'll take theirs first!"
