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

Aunt Qi knew that Yang Dalin had his reasons for saying that, so she didn't ask him why at the dinner table.

Since Yang Dalin did this, Qi Yulan went along with what Yang Dalin said.

Yang Dalin then suggested that his aunt help make a clean quilt for Ma San later.

He'd figure out a way to get cotton and cotton cloth. Aunt Qi nodded and agreed, "Okay, that's easy. We have some ready-made quilts at home; how about we get one for San'er first?"

Moved, Ma San insisted on kowtowing to Aunt Qi.

In this family, Aunt Qi treated him like her own son.

Ma San wanted to kowtow to Aunt Qi, and Yang Dalin didn't stop him.

It would be good to let him express his gratitude.

Ma San choked up and said, "Auntie, from now on I will treat you as my own auntie, Sister Yanhua is my own sister, Xiaoning is my own sister, and Brother Dalin is my own brother. When I earn money in the future, I will be as filial to you as my brother."

Aunt Qi also shed tears. She pulled him up from the ground, wiped away Ma San's tears, and said, "Good, good, you're a good boy. From now on, treat this place as your home. I'll be your aunt. Don't cry, keep eating."

The two Qi sisters are both kind-hearted. They didn't get upset when Ma San came to eat, perhaps because Yang Dalin gave them confidence.

Ultimately, it was because Yang Dalin brought back some food every day that the two sisters could often eat some meat, so they ate less grain.

The sense of food crisis has diminished.

Therefore, I naturally do not object to what my mother and Yang Dalin did.

After all, neither of them earns money; even if they really wanted to object, they didn't have the confidence to do so.

After Ma San finished eating, he left carrying a new quilt and new sheets.

Yang Dalin called Qi Yulan into his room, took out the five-tael gold bar, and handed it to Aunt Qi.

And explained the situation.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yulan said, "Dalinzi, it's not right for us to take things from others. We haven't helped them much, so we can't accept them."

Yang Dalin explained with a wry smile: "Auntie, I know that too, so I delivered it to him as soon as I got off work today. At first, he insisted on giving me both, but I had to persuade him to agree to one per family."

This child is loyal and kind. If he gives it to us, we'll take it. Auntie, here's one for you, hide it well.

From now on, we'll take better care of Ma San in terms of food, drink, and clothing.

If anyone asks, just say that Ma San paid for our food and left some rations at our house.

Aunt Qi took the gold bar, looked at it, and could only nod and say, "Alright, I knew it, why are you so good to him?"

Oh, is that so?

It can be considered a case of good deeds being rewarded.

Yang Dalin nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that either. I only took two table legs. I originally wanted to examine whether they were made of good wood."

I never expected to find this inside.

Qi Yulan clutched the gold bars in her hand and said, "Then I'll take them for now and keep them safe for you. You can use them when you need them in the future, or we can return them to Ma San someday."

Yang Dalin thought to himself, "I don't need it for anything. I still have ten big ones in my storage space."

Giving his aunt a piece of food was Yang Dalin's idea. Otherwise, the family had just escaped the food crisis, and now a poor boy who wouldn't pay for food was coming to eat every day. What if his aunt was worried about not having enough food again?

Give her a gold bar, at least let her know that she's not someone who comes here to freeload every day.

This gave my aunt some confidence.

This would also prevent Ma San from coming to eat for free every day, and make him feel apologetic.

It's good for both sides.

Yang Dalin agreed with his aunt and told her to keep it safe for now.

After seeing his aunt out of the house, Yang Dalin read a novel in traditional Chinese characters for a while longer.

I got sleepy after a while, so I washed my feet and went to sleep.

The next day, Yang Dalin woke up as soon as it was light and was the first to sign in.

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained ten catties of West Lake Longjing tea before the rain and ten catties of Lao Ban Zhang Pu'er tea."

Yang Dalin took a look and saw that today's sign-in was pretty good; the system gave him top-quality tea leaves, which were hard currency.

Many high-ranking officials don't receive much in monthly rations.

I'll keep some for myself to drink, and then give some to the older brothers and uncles who have taken care of me during the holidays.

Don't let others forget your manners.

In his previous life, Yang Dalin was very averse to giving gifts and hosting banquets. The key issue was that he didn't know if the gifts he was giving were appropriate, and he was also short of money, so he was afraid of giving gifts to the wrong people.

In this life, he has come to terms with things. People are much simpler these days, and it's a special time. He's been sending them food and tea, and his older brothers and uncles are really taking care of him.

Moreover, they were all obtained through system sign-ins, so they were easy to acquire and naturally wouldn't be stingy with them.

So as soon as he got to work, Yang Dalin immediately delivered half a jin of West Lake Longjing tea to Qi Desheng.

Don't think that half a jin is too little. Many cadres are only allocated two liang of tea per month, and ordinary families can only buy four liang during two festivals a year. So, Yang Dalin giving away half a jin is really quite a lot.

Qi Desheng took the paper package and asked him what good stuff it was.

After saying that, he took a sniff and exclaimed, "Good tea?"

Yang Dalin nodded: "Yes, Brother Sheng, I happened to get some good tea yesterday, and I brought it to you as soon as possible today."

"Isn't that a good friend?"

Qi Desheng smiled and said, "Okay, that's great, good brother."

"Hey bro, what do you want? I'll get you the money!"

As Qi Desheng was saying this, he reached for his wallet to give him money. Now you know why Yang Dalin liked giving gifts in this life.

Most people won't take your things for free; they'll pay Yang Dalin or exchange them for other things.

But it's different from those things that will be taken advantage of and then discarded later.

Yang Dalin stopped Qi Desheng, who was about to take out money, and said, "Brother Sheng, with our relationship, why should I pay you for some tea? And those spoils you don't need, how about letting me play with them?"

Qi Desheng laughed: "I say, you're so kind-hearted, but you're still after my gun, aren't you?"

Dream on. You've given away the tea for nothing. You can keep the money, but don't even think about the gun.

It's impossible in this lifetime.

Here, take the money and get out of here.

Yang Dalin refused to take the money and ran away.

Why is Old Qi so stingy?

I just really like his gun.

Really are.

Seeing that Yang Dalin had run away without taking the money, Qi Desheng laughed angrily and muttered to himself, "I'll just give him something else to make up for it later. He wants my manhood? Dream on."

As Yang Dalin left Qi Desheng's office, he shook his head and muttered to himself, "So stingy, and he calls himself the big brother."

It seems we really can't start with Lao Qi anymore; we need to find a different target.

Last time, Brother Dou promised to get himself a gun in advance, but nothing happened.

I'll go see him at noon.

After saying that, Yang Dalin went back to find Brother Tian to work. Before starting work, he gave Brother Tian half a catty of Longjing tea.

Like Qi Desheng, Brother Tian greedily sniffed the tea bags.

"Good tea, good tea, so fragrant."

"Hey bro, what do you want to change? I'll get it for you."

Yang Dalin said, "Brother Tian, ​​I want Brother Sheng's gun."

Tian Xueyi was also a good older brother who didn't value loyalty. He quickly stuffed the tea bag into his bag and then solemnly told him, "Get lost."
