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

"Did you bring back an old hen?"

These words were spoken.

The entire courtyard fell silent instantly.

The expression on Xu Damao's face.

They froze completely.

Sha Zhu, standing next to him, was taken aback at first.

Then his eyes lit up.

"yes!"

"I saw you bringing a chicken home just a couple of days ago!"

"Didn't you say it was a gift from someone else?"

"What's wrong?"

"Now people are giving you chickens."

"Is it wrong for others to give Jian'an things?"

That was the finishing blow.

Xu Damao's face turned green.

"Shut up, you idiot!"

"That chicken is a country bumpkin thanking me for showing the movie!"

"grateful?"

Lin Jian'an smiled faintly.

"Then my comrades will send some food coupons and meat."

"What's the problem?"

"you--"

Xu Damao was instantly blocked.

Because he discovered it.

They've gotten themselves into a mess.

The old man next to me pushed up his glasses.

He immediately began to act as a "cultured person".

"Well..."

Logically speaking.

"Comrade Xu Damao does indeed have a bit of a double standard."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Liu Haizhong quickly adopted a leader's demeanor.

"We cannot allow only the magistrate to set fires."

"People aren't allowed to light lamps."

Many people in the courtyard began to nod in agreement.

The wind direction suddenly changed.

after all.

Everyone already disliked Xu Damao.

This guy has a sharp tongue.

He has offended quite a few people in his daily life.

Now look at him, he's been humiliated.

Many people were secretly pleased.

And Xu Damao.

I'm absolutely furious.

"Is this what I meant?!"

"I'm saying his origins are unclear!"

"So now you know where your chicken came from?"

Sha Zhu went straight in.

"Should we go to the factory and ask?"

"Let's see if the projectionist can accept things from the villagers?"

Holy crap!

Xu Damao felt a sudden panic.

In this day and age.

They went to the countryside to show movies and accepted gifts.

It's actually a tacit rule.

Many people do it.

But the problem is-

It cannot be made public.

It really escalated.

It's still troublesome.

"Silly Zhu!"

"Don't make false accusations!"

"Who criticized you?"

"You're just feeling guilty!"

It looked like the two were about to have another fierce fight.

Yi Zhonghai was in a real bind.

"Alright!"

"Shut up, all of you!"

That shout from him.

The courtyard was finally a bit quieter.

Then.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao with a dark expression.

"You're in this meeting today."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"I……"

Xu Damao was a little speechless for a moment.

Because now.

It's as if he's making trouble out of nothing.

"There is no evidence."

"Just suspecting your neighbor without reason."

"What does this look like?"

"Especially since Jian'an's family are relatives of martyrs!"

This sentence.

It is very heavy.

The people in the courtyard immediately echoed this sentiment.

"that is."

"That's outrageous!"

"I almost wrongly accused someone's child."

"How big is Jian'an anyway?"

Qin Huairu also sighed softly.

She truly feels that way now.

Lin Jian'an is no ordinary kid.

They are clearly young.

But they are exceptionally stable in the face of adversity.

If it were a regular child...

I bet she was terrified and cried a moment ago.

But he turned out to be quite different.

A few words.

This directly turned the tables on Xu Damao.

"Alright."

Yi Zhonghai made the final decision.

"That's the end of it."

"From now on, no one will spread rumors."

"Don't blame me for being impolite."

General meeting of the entire college.

It ended rather hastily.

The people had just left.

Sha Zhu was ecstatic.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Xu Damao!"

"You've finally gotten what you deserve!"

"Are you investigating other people too?"

"Clean your own mess first!"

Done.

He even deliberately imitated the crowing of a rooster.

"Giggle giggle—"

The courtyard erupted in laughter.

Xu Damao's face was as black as charcoal.

He pushed his bicycle and left.

But he only took two steps.

Lin Jian'an suddenly said something casually from behind.

"Oh, right."

"You'd better eat that chicken sooner rather than later."

"Otherwise, people will easily recognize me."

Xu Damao suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A chill ran down my back.

Because of that chicken...

It really wasn't a gift from someone else.

Instead, he smuggled it back from the countryside.

It doesn't count as stealing.

But it absolutely cannot be exposed to the light of day.

"This kid..."

"How did you know that?"

In that instant.

For the first time, Xu Damao felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly realized.

Lin Jian'an is not like a child.

He's more like an old fox.

backyard.

Sha Zhu followed them back, laughing all the way.

His mouth was practically agape.

"Jian'an!"

"You were amazing!"

"That grandson of Xu Damao."

"His face turned green!"

"I saw it."

Lin Jian'an also smiled.

to be frank.

He just pointed at it on purpose.

I didn't plan to really go all out.

After all now.

It's not time to completely turn against each other yet.

"But you're a true god, kid."

Sha Zhu lowered his voice.

How do you know there's something wrong with his chicken?

"Just a guess."

"You can even guess that?"

"What kind of person is Xu Damao?"

"Do I even need to guess?"

"That's true."

Sha Zhu believed it instantly.

Because in his eyes.

It's normal for Xu Damao to do anything.

In the room.

Yi Xiulan had also heard the commotion outside.

As soon as Lin Jian'an returned.

I'm still a little worried.

"What happened?"

"fine."

"Xu Damao is causing trouble."

"It's been resolved."

Yi Xiulan frowned slightly.

"Jian'an".

"Try to avoid causing trouble in the future."

"Mom just wants to live a peaceful and stable life."

What she fears most right now is...

The problem is with my son.

My husband is gone.

If my son gets into another accident.

She really can't go on living.

"Don't worry, Mom."

"No one can bully our family."

When Lin Jian'an said this.

His tone was very calm.

But I don't know why.

Yi Xiulan suddenly felt...

My son is starting to resemble my husband more and more.

That silent child from before.

I can now support this family.

Thinking about this...

Her eyes welled up slightly.

On the other side...

In Lin Jian'an's mind.

The system notification has sounded.

【Ding! 】

next second.

The system interface has been refreshed.

Currently, the following documents can be generated: basic invoices, letters of introduction, and purchase vouchers.

Lin Jian'an's heart skipped a beat.

"Holy crap..."

"This feature is awesome."

prior to.

His biggest headache.

That is, the source of supplies.

After all, there's too much stuff in the system.

It's easy to misunderstand.

But now.

It can even generate vouchers.

That would give you more room to maneuver.

"system."

"Let's try generating a purchase introduction letter."

next second.

A flash of white light.

In the system space.

Surprisingly, a piece of paper actually appeared.

There's also a red stamp on it.

The format is exactly the same as it was back then.

[Street-level Procurement Certificate]

Lin Jian'an was speechless with astonishment.

"This is getting more and more outrageous..."

but.

This is definitely a good thing for me.

From now on, whether it's going to the black market or not.

I'll continue collecting old items.

Both are more convenient.

Thinking about this...

He suddenly realized.

Right now.

It's no longer just about "surviving".

Instead, they are gradually establishing their own path.

Supplies.

Connections.

bill.

Black market channels.

Once these things are formed.

The next few decades.

You can plan ahead.

Just as he was making his calculations.

The system suddenly popped up another notification.

New opportunities detected

Lin Jian'an's eyes lit up immediately.

The junkyard is churning out treasures again.
