Siheyuan: I will never tolerate gambling and drugs!

outside the courtyard house

After the four of them had a hearty meal at Quanjude, Director Wang said goodbye and went home. Xu Lin and the other two didn't forget to pack some food for the two little girls. Actually, Xu Lin and Qin Huairu had originally wanted to take the girls with them, but Madam Tan felt that Director Wang might feel uncomfortable with two children, so they decided to just pack them up and take them home. Xu Lin and Qin Huairu couldn't refuse, so they had to agree.

After entering the courtyard, Tan ignored Xu Lin's persistent pleading and took the roast duck packaged from Qin Huairu without saying a word, then went straight to the backyard to go home.

Seeing Tan's reaction, Xu Lin knew that his future plans for happiness would have to be considered more carefully. After all, everyone in the courtyard was probably watching him from the shadows, so it wasn't very convenient for him to stay there.

Xu Lin glanced at Qin Huairu, chuckled, and whispered in her ear, "Sister Tan has run away, so you can't escape either..."

Upon hearing Xu Lin's words and imagining what was about to happen, Qin Huairu's ears burned and she became flustered. Taking advantage of Qin Huairu's momentary daze, Xu Lin, without a word, hoisted her onto his shoulder and carried her back to the west wing, slamming the door shut with a bang...

This scene was precisely captured by Yan Bugui in the east wing across the street. Yan Bugui instantly sensed his opportunity, so he immediately ran to the backyard to call Liu Haizhong, and the two of them ran all the way to Yi Zhonghai's house in the central courtyard.

"You really saw Xu Lin carry Qin Huairu into the house?" Yi Zhonghai's eyes gleamed, his legs trembling slightly with excitement as he confirmed with Yan Bugui again.

"Absolutely true! They came back with Madam Tan. Madam Tan went straight to the backyard, and that little brat Xu Lin carried Qin Huairu home. Even Cuilan saw it!" Although Yan Bugui lowered his voice, he couldn't hide the excitement in his tone.

"Old Yi, let's get started. Old Yan might be a bit stingy, but he's still pretty reliable. Besides, Old Yan said his wife, Cuilan, saw it all. This little bastard obviously couldn't hold back anymore; he's not even trying to hide it from anyone now! It seems they've been having an affair for a while. The footprints Old Yan saw on the backyard wall last time must have been left by Xu Lin when he went to see Qin Huairu!"

After hearing Yan Bugui's repeated confirmation, Liu Haizhong immediately encouraged Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai's wife, Zhou Jinzhi, hesitated after hearing this, and seeing the three preparing to cause trouble for Xu Lin again, she spoke up to remind them...

"Didn't Xu Lin say in the courtyard yesterday that she and Qin Huairu have already secretly pledged their lives to each other? In a couple of days, Xu Lin will have some time off, and they'll go back together to meet Qin Huairu's parents and discuss the wedding date. It's a bit unreasonable for you to come looking for trouble now..."

Yan Bugui frowned after hearing what Yi Zhonghai's wife, Zhou Jinzhi, said.

"But they're still not married! If they're not married, they're not husband and wife! What kind of business is it to mess around like this when you're not even married and not husband and wife! This is promiscuous! You could even say that Xu Lin is deceiving women and deliberately saying this to trick them into having sex!"

Besides, even if it's not about deceiving women, you can't just say that saying you'll discuss the wedding date in a couple of days gives you the right to act recklessly. Isn't that just using it as a cover for illicit affairs and making a fool of yourself? Old Yi, Old Liu, don't you two agree?

After hearing Yan Bugui's words, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong both nodded, finding them quite reasonable. Then, Yi Zhonghai, looking displeased, said to Zhou Jinzhi...

"What do you know, you're just a woman! This is a new society, everything is governed by the rule of law and ethics. You don't understand, so don't just follow along and spout nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jinzhi curled her lip, clearly disdainful of Yi Zhonghai's attempt at moral blackmail. Seeing the three stubborn individuals, Zhou Jinzhi remained silent and turned to go back to her room to sleep.

Yi Zhonghai saw Zhou Jinzhi leave, but didn't say much. He turned back and began to make arrangements for the two people in front of him.

"Old Yan, you hurry back and keep an eye on things. Don't let Qin Huairu run back to the backyard just because Xu Lin finished quickly. If you see Qin Huairu coming out, yell 'Catch the adulterer!' Old Liu and I, we'll hurry and call all the neighbors in the yard, young and old, and bring our weapons. Let's see if Xu Lin dares to fight back this time! When we catch him in the act, hit him in the face, don't hold back. That kid is in good shape, he can definitely take it."

"Alright! I'll go back and keep an eye on things right away. You two hurry, or things might get complicated!" After saying this, Yan Bugui turned around and went back to the front yard.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also immediately took action.

"Shazhu! Shazhu! Get up! Get up! Something's happened! Yan Bugui saw Xu Lin and Qin Huairu having an affair at home. Hurry up and meet us at the Central Courtyard, we're going to catch them in the act!" Yi Zhonghai said, then headed towards Xu Damao's house in the backyard.

Sha Zhu: "Who? Huai Ru! Damn it, that beast Xu Lin!"

After realizing what was happening, Sha Zhu immediately put on his pants, grabbed a fire poker from the ground, and ran towards the central courtyard, shirtless.

Liu Haizhong used the same wording, summoning both Jia's mother and son to the central courtyard. When Jia Zhangshi found out, she was about to launch into a tirade when Liu Haizhong covered her mouth, saying, "Keep your voice down. Everyone isn't here yet. If your lousy voice alerts them, how will they catch Xu Lin and Qin Huairu catching them in the act?"

Hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Jia Zhangshi realized she had almost ruined things, so she obediently shut her mouth and went inside to find a suitable weapon. Jia Dongxu, who was nearby, was furious upon hearing this news! He cursed Xu Lin and Qin Huairu inwardly.

"That bitch refused to marry me yesterday, but the very next day she was cheating on me with someone else, having all sorts of affairs! Fine! Let's see how you face people now that you've been caught. I'll make you kneel before me and apologize!"

It has to be said that Jia Dongxu is a genius. He indulged in his fantasies and even imagined Qin Huairu and Xu Lin kneeling down and begging for mercy, which made his tailbone tremble with pleasure.

Seeing his mother searching for a suitable weapon, Jia Dongxu simply grabbed a brick from the side. Jia Zhangshi was shocked and immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Son, this won't do! It could kill someone! You'll be executed if you do that! Get something else, don't use this!"

Jia Dongxu rolled his eyes and ignored Jia Zhangshi, thinking to himself, "Last time, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao used this to hit Yi Zhonghai, and after hitting him for a long time, nothing happened. Can Xu Lin's health be worse than Yi Zhonghai's?"

However, he still couldn't bring himself to say these words in front of his mother, Jia Zhangshi. He continued to do as he pleased, holding a brick and waiting at the door for everyone to arrive.

In fact, Xu Lin was quite surprised and even puzzled by the people in the courtyard's resilience to blows. Logically speaking, although Xu Lin would hold back some of his strength each time he struck, his body had been strengthened by the system, so even with restraint, his strength was still far beyond that of ordinary people.

Even under these circumstances, no matter how hard Xu Lin beat them, how far they were kicked, or how bruised and swollen they became, they were always back to their old selves within a couple of days, without any lasting effects. And despite their severe malaria, the people in this hospital seemed completely unaffected...

Xu Lin had thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. You say the feng shui is good, but the yard is full of beasts. You say the food is good, but Yan Bugui's family eats pickled vegetables by the piece. You say the health is good, but Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai are childless, and Jia Dongxu died young. How is this calculated at all...?

In the end, Xu Lin could only conclude that people in this era simply have strong bodies and high recovery abilities!

Soon, everyone was eager to fight in the central courtyard. At this time, Xu Damao, wanting to avoid alerting Tan Shi and the two young girls behind them, also secretly slipped into the central courtyard to join the others.

Yi Zhonghai: "I'm sure everyone knows what happened!"

After speaking, he looked at everyone and then put on a pained expression before continuing.

"Our courtyard has always been an excellent siheyuan (traditional courtyard house). How can we tolerate such things as promiscuity and having affairs happening in our courtyard? We called everyone here so that we can all teach Xu Lin from the front yard a lesson. So everyone must be patient and earnest in reasoning with Xu Lin and helping him to correct his ways."

After speaking, he exchanged a glance with Liu Haizhong, then waved his hand.

"Walk!"
