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

Finally, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to go with Director Chen to the police station to pick up Banggeng and ask Jia Zhangshi where she had hidden her secret stash of money.

Jia Zhangshi naturally refused, but in the end she heard that if Zhang Dabiao appealed, she would be sentenced to prison, which would be worse than being sent to a labor camp.

At the police station, Jia Zhangshi cursed Zhang Dabiao's ancestors for eighteen generations. Of course, Zhang Dabiao couldn't hear her, and Jia Zhangshi also cursed herself.

Finally, Jia Zhangshi only told Jia Dongxu where to hide the money, and that there was only 100 yuan. She instructed Qin Huairu to borrow the rest from Sha Zhu. If Sha Zhu didn't have it, she told Jia Dongxu to borrow from Yi Zhonghai.

He is Jia Dongxu's mentor and is counting on Jia Dongxu to support him in his old age, so he has to pay this money!

Yi Zhonghai's schemes against the Jia family were something Jia Zhangshi already knew about, even without Zhang Dabiao's exposure of them last time. However, the Jia family kept Yi Zhonghai hanging on.

It would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal, but as for providing for Yi Zhonghai's retirement, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Moreover, upon returning to the courtyard, I heard that Yi Zhonghai had paid out over 8 yuan in compensation—

Jia Zhangshi is almost going crazy!

In her eyes, all that money belonged to the Jia family!

After lingering at the police station for a long time, Jia Dongxu finally returned to the courtyard with Banggeng. After getting the money, Qin Huairu went to borrow another 100 yuan from Shazhu, who was also really broke.

The responsibility of completing the final 300 fell to Yi Zhonghai.

Although he didn't want to give it to Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Jia Dongxu would be disheartened and wouldn't take care of him in his old age.

After everyone gathered, they went to Zhang Dabiao's house with Director Chen. At that moment, he and Qin Jingru were eating noodles together in a pot. The soup also contained hot pot meatballs, fried eggs, and cabbage leaves.

Moreover, Zhang Dabiao used hot pot broth, and the taste was amazing—

Bang Geng was drooling, but this time he really didn't dare to go forward and snatch it.

On the way back to the courtyard house, Jia Dongxu kicked him countless times!

Under the witness of Director Chen, Zhang Dabiao accepted 500 yuan, threw the bedding and quilt to Qin Huairu, and then wrote a letter of understanding on the spot.

"Director Chen, now that we have the letter of understanding, when can my mother come back?"

"You can probably get your sentence reduced by six months, and you can come back after six months. If you behave well during your labor camp sentence, your sentence can be shortened even further."

"Huh? Losing 500 yuan only gets you a six-month reduction?"

"You're not happy, are you? Here, take the money, and give me the letter of understanding?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Jia Dongxu immediately grabbed the letter of understanding and ran out of Zhang Dabiao's house, but he was seething with hatred inside!

In total, their family only ate 5 jin (2.5 catties) of meat!

His purchase price was only 5 yuan.

Nothing else was touched!

Zhang Dabiao doesn't want it anymore!

They lost eight times their initial investment?!

My own mother only got her sentence reduced by six months?

Where the hell can we go to seek justice?

Sooner or later, he'll kill Zhang Dabiao!

They absolutely have to kill them!

------------

But would Zhang Dabiao let Jia Zhangshi off so easily?

That's impossible!

He signed the letter of understanding only after receiving 500 yuan with tears in his eyes, out of desperation. He had to give Director Chen some face, didn't he?

However, there are indeed ways to continue to harass the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai.

First, go to the Xu family's house in the evening and tell Xu's mother about the dinner you're planning to invite Lou Xiao'e to. Ask Xu's mother to help you ask if she has time this weekend and if she'd like to have dinner at the courtyard house.

I also chatted with Xu Damao about where Dong Dabao lives and whether he knew. And also, where does Captain Chen, the security guard at the steel rolling mill, live?

Xu Damao was puzzled. Why were they looking for them?

Zhang Dabiao stopped hiding things. The postman, Dong Dingjun, was sentenced to three years of labor reform at Tuanhe Farm in the southern suburbs of Daxing. Captain Chen of the security department was sentenced to three months (no substantial harm was caused, and he was a subordinate of the security department, so Section Chief Xie would help to minimize the impact of the matter; the steel mill also had to save face), also at Tuanhe Farm.

Isn't that a coincidence? Jia Zhangshi also went to Tuanhe Farm! Half a year!

Although Jia Zhangshi has nothing to do with them, she is related to Lao Yi. Lao Yi even spent money to reduce Jia Zhangshi's sentence!

If it weren't for Jia Dongxu of the Jia family, Lao Yi wouldn't have intercepted the letters and asked someone to instigate Captain Chen to target Zhang Dabiao, would he?

Do you think these three will create some sparks when they meet?

Xu Damao immediately understood Zhang Dabiao's meaning. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xu Damao had to spread this news, not for any other reason than to vent his anger and for fun.

"Da Biao, your brother Mao will handle this, so you don't need to worry about it!"

"But...you're a sly little devil!"

"But I love it!"

Hahahaha!

Second, Zhang Dabiao also asked Qin Jingru to bring He Yushui a bowl of noodles when she went back, and deliberately chatted with her at the door of Yushui's house.

Isn't it just right that Jia Zhangshi was sent to a labor camp?

Previously, Lao Yi wanted to adopt Jia Dongxu as his godson to support him in his old age, but Jia Zhangshi always opposed it.

Even though she wasn't at the courtyard house, she directly confirmed the matter, letting everyone witness the ceremony of establishing a godparent-godfather relationship and finalizing the agreement.

Even though Jia Zhangshi is back, she can't deny it anymore!

witness?

Let's invite Director Wang from the neighborhood committee over and see if the Jia family dares to renege on their debt!

When Yi Zhonghai from next door heard this, his eyes lit up!

Third, go to the backyard to play cards with the three Liu brothers. While playing cards, tell them that Yi Zhonghai "might" take advantage of Jia Zhangshi's absence to adopt Jia Dongxu as his godson to provide for his old age.

Guang Tianfu naturally felt this was not a safe bet. What if Jia Dongxu tried to renege on his promise?

Zhang Dabiao put himself in Wang's shoes and hypothesized—wouldn't it be simpler to just hold a ceremony to formally establish a godparent relationship and invite Director Wang?

With her as a witness, would the Jia family dare to deny it then?

What is Zhang Dabiao doing?

It's just that old-fashioned marketing tactic—the story of Bill Gates' son-in-law and the vice president of the World Bank.

A businessman told his son, "I've chosen a girl, and I want you to marry her." The son wasn't interested.

Businessman—This girl is Bill Gates' daughter. Son—That's a good option!

During the party, a businessman told Bill Gates, "I can introduce your daughter to a good husband." Bill Gates wasn't interested.

Businessman—this young man is the Vice President of the World Bank. Bill Gates—that's a good fit!

Then I went to see the president of the World Bank—I'd like to recommend a young man to be your bank's vice president. The bank president wasn't interested.

Businessman—this young man is Bill Gates' son-in-law. CEO—that's a good fit!

In the end, the businessman's son married Bill Gates' daughter and became the vice president of the World Bank.

……

Old-fashioned as it may be, as long as the old deaf man and Yi Zhonghai believe it!

In the back room, the old deaf man ate a cornbread bun while pondering in the darkness.

You, Yi Zhonghai, have gained a godson for free; your retirement problem is solved.

I've gone to great lengths to ensure you can act like a respectable elder and to clear your name. You have someone to support you in your old age, but what about me?

And me!

After setting everything up, Zhang Dabiao played cards with the Liu brothers for a while before going back to his room to rest.

The next day, you go to class or work as usual.

As for how things will develop...

Let it be, since we're not losing anything anyway, right?

Let the bullets fly for a while.

Zhang Dabiao currently has 1000 yuan in cash and over 40 yuan in loose change!

（原有122、被打赔偿60、第一次採购费25、被保卫科抓举报赔偿356、秦家屯送来的野猪反手赚了24、贾家偷东西谅解书500、陈二狗赔偿5块，总计1092，最近又用了一些）

Should we stir things up?

This is also an option!
