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

Intermediate People's Court.

A crowd had already gathered around, since they were all neighbors, and besides, Jia Zhangshi's commotion was quite significant.

Jia Zhangshi sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying loudly.

unknown.

I thought I had lost a gold bar.

"My Dongxu!"

"Those are eggs to nourish your body!"

"Which bastard got the hell to steal it?!"

Jia Dongxu's face darkened upon hearing this.

"Mom, don't cry, everyone's watching."

"Shut up! Is your stomach more important or your face?"

"Aren't you heartbroken if the eggs are gone?"

"You and your father, you two are both worse than the other, each one more useless than the last!"

The neighbors in the courtyard all frowned when they heard this.

But they all remained united and no one went up to persuade them.

We've been neighbors for so many years, everyone knows what Jia Zhangshi is like.

When Jia Zhangshi is throwing a tantrum, it's best to stay away; getting involved is never a good thing.

At this time.

Yi Zhonghai strolled over from the backyard.

"What happened?"

Upon seeing this, Jia Zhangshi immediately got up from the ground.

"Old Yi, oh Old Yi!"

"You have to stand up for us, a widow and her orphans!"

"My eggs are gone!"

Yi Zhonghai asked, frowning.

"How many should we throw away?"

"Three!"

"Three of them! Those were for Dongxu to strengthen his body!"

"Someone must have stolen it!"

As he said this, he seemed to remember something.

Her gaze suddenly swept towards the backyard.

"Some families were out of food yesterday."

"I'll have my medicine today."

"Who knows where that thing came from?"

The courtyard fell silent immediately.

Many people understood it.

That's what I meant.

It was Lin Jian'an in the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai's face immediately darkened.

"Jia Zhangshi, what do you mean by that?"

"Everyone knows what I mean."

"A boy, barely out of school, with no parents—"

"Try saying it again."

A cold, icy voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone turned to look.

Lin Jian'an stood alone at the back gate.

His face was completely expressionless.

But that look in her eyes.

It was frighteningly cold; it gave me the creeps.

For no apparent reason, Jia Zhangshi felt a sudden panic.

But he quickly regained his composure.

Did I say something wrong?

"Your house couldn't even catch fire yesterday—"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Lin Jian'an had already walked over.

They moved extremely fast.

No one reacted in time.

next second.

Bang!

Jia Zhangshi was pushed to the ground by Lin Jian'an.

"Ouch!"

"Someone got hit!"

"A martyr's orphan assaulted an elderly person!"

"Everyone, come and take a look!"

She started yelling at the top of her lungs.

But this time.

But no one in the courtyard helped her.

Because of what I just said.

It was really awful and too harsh to hear.

Yi Zhonghai was also startled by Lin Jian'an.

"Jian'an!"

He was about to speak.

But they discovered that Lin Jian'an wasn't looking at anyone else at all.

But his cold eyes were fixed on Jia Zhangshi.

It made Jia Zhangshi feel very uneasy.

"My father was a martyr; he shed blood for the country."

"If you dare to say another word of nonsense..."

I'll tear your mouth apart.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was cold.

The entire courtyard fell completely silent because of those words.

No one thought of it.

A mere twelve-year-old child, yet he exudes such a frightening aura.

Even Jia Dongxu didn't dare to step forward, just like a quail.

Just when the atmosphere became completely frozen.

The door to the house in the backyard was suddenly opened.

Yi Xiulan, supporting herself on the door frame, slowly walked out from inside.

Although her fever had subsided, her face was still very pale.

But it's in my hands.

But he clutched a military medal tightly in his hand.

Under the sunlight.

It was so golden that it almost blinded everyone.

Many people in the courtyard changed their expressions upon seeing this.

Medal of Honor.

Not everyone has this.

Yi Xiulan's voice was weak, but powerful.

But everyone could hear it clearly.

"Wei Guo... is someone who shed blood for his country..."

"If anyone bullies our son again..."

"I'll go to the neighborhood committee office."

"Go to the army..."

"We demand an explanation."

The entire courtyard fell silent instantly.

Jia Zhangshi's face turned pale with fright upon hearing these words.

She's the type to throw tantrums, be unreasonable, and like to be a "stubborn idiot."

It's for ordinary people.

But when you actually run into the family of a martyr, that's a tough nut to crack.

She had to admit defeat.

Yi Zhonghai quickly went over to help his sister.

"What are you doing out here?"

"Go back to your room and rest."

Yi Xiulan shook her head.

She looked at Lin Jian'an.

Her eyes were full of heartache and regret.

"Jian'an..."

"Don't be afraid."

"Mom's here."

Lin Jian'an felt a sudden tightness in his chest when he heard this.

Because he himself knew it.

this woman.

It won't last much longer.

Just then.

A system notification suddenly sounded.

[A relic from a special era has been detected]

Second-Class Merit Medal

Value: Non-recoverable

[Note: This item has special historical significance.]

Lin Jian'an's eyes flickered slightly.

Special impact?

It seems.

This thing will still be useful in the future.
