Courtyard Houses: From Families of Martyrs and Orphans to Giants of the Times

night.

The courtyard house was unusually quiet.

backyard.

Lin Jian'an was studying the system by the stove.

[Predictions on Character Relationships]

After the new feature is enabled.

Surprisingly, the names of everyone in the courtyard appeared on the interface.

[Yi Zhonghai: Current Relationship - Trust]

[Silly Pillar: Current Relationship - Close]

[Qin Huairu: Current Relationship - Favorable Attraction]

[Xu Damao: Current Relationship - Hostility]

Especially the last one, "hostility".

It also had a faint red glow.

Lin Jian'an couldn't help but laugh.

"This system really knows its stuff."

That grandson of Xu Damao.

They've been clearly targeting me lately.

Especially this morning.

That guy even deliberately waited for me at the gate of the courtyard.

It doesn't look normal at all.

"Looks like we need to be careful."

Thinking about this...

He continued scrolling down.

The result was sudden.

The screen flickered.

[Xu Damao's Current Behavior Prediction: Investigating the Host]

[People you may come into contact with recently: Black market operators]

Lin Jian'an's eyes narrowed instantly.

"Holy crap?"

Can this feature even make predictions?

and.

Xu Damao actually started investigating him.

The most troublesome thing is...

The system mentions "black market personnel".

This means that the guy may have already gotten a little close.

"no."

"We need to prepare in advance."

He now has a system.

But they are too young after all.

I'm being watched like a hawk.

It's easy for problems to arise.

Especially in this day and age.

Many things cannot be investigated in detail.

It's easy to make a mistake if you investigate too closely.

Thinking about this...

Lin Jian'an's mind raced.

"I need to find a layer of protection for myself."

And the best protection.

Actually, it's just—

Identity.

Orphans of martyrs.

Military dependents' families.

In addition, there's the connection with Uncle Yi Zhonghai.

If done well.

Most people wouldn't dare to make any rash moves.

I was just thinking about it.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Jian'an".

"An old man asked me to call you over."

It's Sha Zhu.

Lin Jian'an was taken aback.

"What's up?"

"It's like holding a hospital-wide meeting."

"That bastard Xu Damao is causing trouble again."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Jian'an sneered inwardly.

really.

This guy's starting to cause trouble.

Intermediate People's Court.

The eight-immortal table has already been set up.

Almost everyone in the courtyard came.

An elderly man named Yi Zhonghai sat in the middle.

Second Uncle Liu Haizhong sat next to me with his belly sticking out.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, was still holding an enamel mug.

That kind of presence.

It was like holding a trial.

And Xu Damao.

Standing right in the middle.

His face was filled with righteous indignation.

"What happened today."

"We must find out the truth!"

"In our courtyard."

"Someone might be engaging in speculation and profiteering!"

These words were spoken.

The courtyard erupted in chaos.

"Speculation and profiteering?"

Who is it?

"Really?"

In this day and age.

These four words are no joke.

If it gets serious, it could really cause serious problems.

Yi Zhonghai's face also darkened.

"Xu Damao".

Do you have any evidence?

"Of course!"

Xu Damao immediately perked up.

"Which household in the courtyard has changed the most recently?"

"It's white flour again."

"It's pork again."

"And penicillin!"

"Can an ordinary family afford these things?"

talking.

His gaze went directly to the backyard.

They were clearly from the Chonglin family.

The people in the courtyard fell silent immediately.

because……

Xu Damao's words.

That actually makes some sense.

The Lin family has indeed changed a lot recently.

Especially penicillin.

Many people are still shocked.

"Bullshit!"

Sha Zhu was the first to explode.

"Jian'an's father was a martyr!"

"So what if someone helps you out?"

"You're just jealous!"

"Do I have conjunctivitis?"

Xu Damao sneered.

"What about the meat?"

"What about wheat flour?"

Who delivers every day?

"Can you afford to deliver every day?"

In a word.

Even Sha Zhu was stumped by the question.

Because he was actually a little puzzled as well.

only.

He trusted Lin Jian'an more.

"I don't care!"

"Anyway, Jian'an couldn't possibly do anything bad!"

"You think it's impossible just because you say so?"

Who do you think you are?

It looked like the two were about to start arguing again.

Yi Zhonghai slammed his hand on the table.

"That's enough!"

The courtyard fell silent instantly.

"Xu Damao".

"Since you have doubts..."

"Then provide the evidence."

"No evidence."

Don't label people randomly.

But Xu Damao was clearly well-prepared.

"OK."

"Then I'll ask Lin Jian'an."

"Have you been going out late at night a lot lately?"

"Do you always go to East Street?"

"Did you suddenly become rich?"

Now.

Many people's eyes changed.

Because some people have indeed seen it.

Especially the third uncle.

I love observing people.

"I think I really did see Jian'an leaving early and returning late..."

Qin Huairu couldn't help but look at Lin Jian'an.

There was some worry in his eyes.

But Jia Zhangshi got even more excited.

"I knew this kid was weird!"

"They might really have gone to the black market!"

"Shut up!"

Yi Zhonghai glared at her fiercely.

Then he looked at Lin Jian'an.

"Jian'an".

"You tell me yourself."

All eyes were on them.

All of it fell on Lin Jian'an.

But he remained completely calm.

Even a little to laugh.

Because he had already guessed it.

Xu Damao will do this sooner or later.

"Are you done talking?"

Lin Jian'an spoke calmly.

Xu Damao was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm asking you."

"You said I have a problem."

"Where's the evidence?"

"I……"

"Did you see me engaging in speculation and profiteering?"

"Did you see me selling something?"

"Did they see me go to the black market?"

Xu Damao suddenly got stuck.

Because he didn't actually see it with his own eyes.

"But lately—"

"What's wrong with you lately?"

Lin Jian'an interrupted him directly.

Then.

He pulled a paper package from his pocket.

Place it on the table.

Do you recognize this?

Yi Zhonghai opened it and took a look.

They were stunned.

"Proof of compensation?"

"What?!"

The courtyard erupted in chaos.

Lin Jian'an spoke calmly.

"After my father sacrificed his life."

"My comrades in the army have always been there to help me."

"A while ago."

"They sent some more money and tickets to my family."

"What?"

"Is this illegal?"

The air fell silent instantly.

Xu Damao's expression changed immediately.

Because of this thing.

it is true.

And it also has an official seal.

This actually proves it.

It was temporarily redeemed by the system just now.

It cost five points.

But the effect is absolutely maximum.

In this day and age.

Who dares to question the compensation for martyrs?

really.

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened completely.

"Xu Damao!"

"You're being ridiculous!"

"They are the families of martyrs."

"You dare to make baseless doubts?"

Liu Haizhong quickly followed suit and put on airs.

"right!"

"This kind of thinking is dangerous!"

The third uncle was even more amazing.

Let's begin the education process directly.

"One should be based on evidence."

"Comrades should not be slandered without cause."

The people who were just discussing it a moment ago.

The wind direction changed immediately.

after all.

Nobody wants to offend the families of martyrs.

Qin Huairu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid something bad would happen.

And Jia Zhangshi.

They've already shrank back and dared not utter a sound.

Xu Damao's face turned pale and then red.

He really didn't expect it.

Lin Jian'an actually had this.

"wrong……"

"That's definitely not right..."

He felt increasingly resentful.

His intuition told him so.

This kid definitely has a secret.

But...

He can't catch him.

Just then.

A system notification suddenly sounded.

[Hostility detected continues to increase]

[Recommendation: Appropriate counterattack]

Lin Jian'an's heart stirred slightly.

Then.

Suddenly, he looked at Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao".

"You care so much about other people's families."

"Well, there's something I'm also curious about."

Xu Damao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"What...what do you mean?"

Lin Jian'an smiled.

"A while ago."

"You're going to the countryside to show movies."

"Did you bring back an old hen?"
