The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Qi Yulan thought about it and agreed. Nowadays, everyone is struggling to find food. In the rural areas at the foot of the mountain or near the mountains, which family doesn't hunt large game?

The militiamen are all armed, so the chances of finding large prey in the outlying areas are probably slim.

But I also told him to be careful.

Yang Dalin added, "Auntie, don't worry, my brother Tian still has a gun. I promise I'll take him and the locals with me when we go into the forest."

Besides, we're just delivering goods; we'll only be in the woods for a short while.

Today this is a wooded area near a factory, flat land, and it's very safe inside.

Grandpa Qi added, "Then be careful, don't let your aunt worry."

Don't get hurt over a meal.

Yang Dalin knew everyone meant well, so he quickly agreed.

Aunt Qi knew that Yang Dalin was reliable, so she didn't say anything more.

Ma San received extra attention at the dinner table, and everyone was eating with gusto.

I have to say, Sha Zhu is really good at cooking.

Wild game is just so delicious.

The eight people ate all the meat and vegetables on the table, and even used steamed buns to soak up the last bit of soup.

Finally, when Yang Dalin, Uncle Qi, and Sha Zhu were drinking, there were only two plates left. Yang Dalin prepared a plate of peanuts and a plate of cold cabbage hearts.

Yang Dalin didn't let Ma San drink alcohol. The boy's wound had just healed, and besides, he was still young. Yang Dalin gave him boiled water with a constitution-strengthening pill dissolved in it.

It can help him recover quickly, grow strong, and reach the level of a normal adult.

However, it also needs a period of time to be absorbed, and it's not as powerful as his miracle pill.

It will be effective after you finish eating it.

Yang Dalin had his own plans. When he went on a business trip, he asked Ma San to keep an eye on things at home.

It also provides an extra layer of security for the family.

This kid, if he really gets reckless, he might even stab himself with a knife. Among the cowardly bullies in this yard, we know how to deal with Sha Zhu, but we have to be careful with this kind of reckless kid.

They're not even from this hospital yet, so Yi Zhonghai won't be able to control them if he wants to.

As the saying goes, in a fight, the tough guy is the one who's fearless, and the tough guy is the one who's reckless. After this incident, most people in the area dare not mess with Ma San.

The Qi family was having a happy meal and chatting together.

The deaf old lady in the backyard looked unwell.

She was very unhappy to learn that Yi Zhonghai and his wife were using her name to manipulate Sha Zhu.

The key issue is that even if she actually gets the meat from Sha Zhu, she might not be able to eat it.

If word gets out, what will the other elderly people in the courtyard think of her?

The old deaf man may not be able to say anything else, but he does have ways to secretly buy some meat.

Even if you're really craving something sweet, you shouldn't do this, otherwise it'll be too embarrassing.

But since this couple has taken care of me for so long, I can't let them lose face.

So the deaf old lady said to Yi Wenshi, "Xiumei, Zhuzi doesn't need to test him like this. He's not that cunning. You already have Dongxu. Let Dongxu slowly get to know Zhuzi. Just exchange sincerity for sincerity. If you do this, it will make Zhuzi feel resentful!"

Zhu Zi is an honest man, not that complicated. If you do this, you'll only end up hurting yourselves.

Yi Wenshi and Yi Zhonghai knew they had done something wrong today. They hadn't consulted with the deaf old lady before trying to test Sha Zhu, and more importantly, they had done it in the old lady's name, which made the old lady very unhappy.

The two men quickly stood up and apologized to the deaf old lady: "We're sorry, ma'am, we were wrong, we were impetuous."

It won't happen again next time.

Yi Zhonghai and Yi Wenshi showed a good attitude in admitting their mistakes; indeed, they were wrong in what they did today.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai's original purpose was to test Sha Zhu, to see if he was easy to control, and then share the meat he obtained with Jia Dongxu's family.

By taking Sha Zhu's things and being generous with other people's money, they can make Jia Dongxu even more grateful to them, and then the couple can also have a good meal.

Purely calculating.

The only problem was that it made the deaf old lady very unhappy.

The key point is that he did this under his own name.

It has to be said that Yi Zhonghai is a really stingy old man.

The deaf old lady knew about Yi Zhonghai's scheme, but she didn't say anything more, after all, she was the one who chose to take care of him.

Some things lose their meaning once they've been said outright.

He tapped his cane and said, "Alright, don't do that again next time. It's getting late, go home and rest."

After Yi Zhonghai and his wife left, the deaf old lady sighed and said, "Alas, Xiumei has suffered all her life."

After saying that, the deaf old lady closed the door and prepared to continue resting.

Meanwhile, at the Jia family's house, Qin Huairu had brought Bang Geng home.

Jia Dongxu asked, "Where were you just now? Why did I hear someone talking at Sha Zhu's house?"

Fearing that Jia Dongxu would continue to harass the sticks, Qin Huairu lied for her son: "Nothing much, I just had my son accompany me to the toilet."

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu had no doubts, since he hadn't heard his wife and son talking much at Sha Zhu's place earlier.

He had just finished eating and lay down, so Bang Geng quietly slipped out, and Qin Huairu followed him out.

It's cold, and every household has to close their doors and windows. There are curtains on the windows and cotton curtains on the doors, so the sound is greatly reduced. Jia Dongxu doesn't have Yang Dalin's super hearing.

It's normal not to hear anything clearly.

Jia Dongxu has been quite happy these past two days, though he's a bit tired.

Yi Zhonghai finally pleaded for him at the factory, and he was given a different job. They found him a temporary repairman and gave him a first-class fitter's salary so he could learn repairs from him.

If Jia Dongxu has talent here, he can stay and work under this master; if not, he can switch to another job.

Of course, these were all jobs similar to those in the workshop and as fitters; Jia Dongxu could forget about the kind of office work.

Jia Dongxu worked with his new master for two days. He was full of new hope, high spirits, and worked very hard. He was also patient and steady, unlike the new apprentice who was so impulsive. Besides, he had worked in the factory for many years.

I'm not a complete novice who doesn't understand any machines.

Surprisingly, he was able to easily fix some minor problems with the machine once he got started.

The repairman was quite satisfied with this temporary apprentice.

However, to be fair, a fitter who has worked in the factory for seven or eight years, even if he has never eaten pork, has never seen a pig run.

They could usually fix minor machine malfunctions themselves.

However, as long as Jia Dongxu can demonstrate talent, this matter will be easy to handle.

The temporary master even praised Jia Dongxu in front of several other apprentices.

This gave Jia Dongxu a lot of confidence and improved his spirits.

She was no longer the hopeless, sickly woman she had been a few days ago.

Yi Zhonghai was quite happy. Although Jia Dongxu had become someone else's apprentice, he wasn't afraid. Jia Dongxu lived across the street from him and went to and from get off work with him every day. He wasn't worried that Jia Dongxu could escape his control.

If Jia Dongxu can learn maintenance properly and get promoted, then it won't be considered that I pleaded for him.

When he gets promoted, his burden will be lighter. When he retires and receives his pension, with Jia Dongxu's help, his retirement problem won't be a big issue.

That's why he thought of having Yi Wenshi try to control Sha Zhu today so that his apprentice could have something better to eat.

Unexpectedly, it went awry.

He even embarrassed himself in front of the deaf old lady.

This left Yi Zhonghai, who had just returned home, with a frosty expression on his face.
