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

Yang Dalin first put the pheasants from the sack into his spatial storage. He originally had twelve wild rabbits, but ate two at noon.

Two were given away, leaving eight.

Yang Dalin planned to keep three of the eight wild rabbits and give them to others.

Five were given to Shawn Dou and the others.

So Yang Dalin carried eight rabbits to the door of Dou Xiaolong's office.

Before I even knocked, I could hear them discussing the case inside.

I vaguely heard about using drugs and money to bribe people.

Yang Dalin had no intention of continuing to eavesdrop.

I knocked on the door as soon as I got there.

A furious roar came from inside: "Who is it? Don't you know we're in a meeting?"

Then, Dou Xiaolong pulled open the office door.

When Dou Xiaolong saw that it was Yang Dalin, his expression softened a bit: "Excuse me, brother, what's up?"

Yang Dalin knew that the others hadn't meant it, and that he had disturbed their meeting. He pointed with his left hand to the sack in his right hand.

"Excuse me, Captain Dou, I didn't mean to disturb your meeting. I just brought you some wild rabbits."

Although he knew it wasn't directed at him, Yang Dalin didn't indulge him and instead called him Captain Dou instead of Brother Long.

Wu Tiejun, who was standing next to him, was very pleased with his expression. Seeing that Yang Dalin's tone was also a bit off, he directly pulled Yang Dalin inside.

He closed the door, took the sack from Yang Dalin, and pressed Yang Dalin down into a chair next to him, saying, "Brother, I'm sorry, Lao Dou wasn't doing this to you."

"It's still about that spy incident. Old Dou's got a bit of a fuss about it. Can I tell you a little bit?"

Wu Tiejun turned his head and asked Dou Xiaolong.

Dou Xiaolong nodded.

Wu Tiejun explained to Yang Dalin: "The spy you helped us catch last time, although he confessed on the same day, he never revealed how his superior controlled so many people to deliver intelligence to him, or how he developed his subordinates."

Later, we arrested his supplier and found out that the other party was using drugs to control people. He gave Lin Shangnan some things and had him smuggle drugs into the prescriptions he gave to others. Many people with strong willpower were also swayed by him. Do you know what drugs are? You know opium, right?

Yang Dalin nodded; of course he knew.

When Wu Tiejun saw that Yang Dalin nodded, it meant that he knew. Then he said, "Old Dou is angry about this. Although the drugs were seized, we don't know how they were smuggled in. We also found a lot of counterfeit money."

Old Dou is angry because of this, not because he's targeting you.

When Yang Dalin learned the reason, he was furious. "You damn little brat, you still have the heart to kill me, don't you?"

We've been liberated for so many years, and they still dare to use drugs to win over our people.

Counterfeit banknotes were printed during the Republic of China era, and there were also counterfeit banknotes printed in the early days of the People's Republic of China. Damn it, so many years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they are still printing counterfeit banknotes of the new China.

Damn it.

Yang Dalin believed that when Er Tuzi was defeated, they might have been printing a large amount of counterfeit money.

During that period, paper money and vouchers depreciated wildly. Nobody believed that the foreign powers or the Japanese devils were involved.

There were also opium and other drugs, and it was because of these that the queue (traditional Manchu hairstyle) gradually disappeared. It can be said that the new China deeply hated these things.

No wonder Lao Dou was so angry.

Dou Xiaolong had calmed down by now and apologized again: "Brother, I really didn't mean it at you just now, please don't take it to heart."

Yang Dalin knew that he hated drugs and counterfeit money, and he hated the Japanese devils.

They naturally forgave him; these were minor matters for the men.

However, Yang Dalin thought to himself that one day he would take his revenge.

Those damn Japanese devils, you just wait!

Yang Dalin said, "It's alright, Brother Long. We're all men, it's nothing, I understand."

I went to Xishan to deliver goods today and caught some rabbits. My family can't finish them all, and I was thinking of all the work you've been doing, so I brought you a few to supplement your nutrition and improve your meals.

When Dou Xiaolong saw that Yang Dalin really didn't care and even called him "Brother Long," he knew that Yang Dalin was alright.

He opened the sack and asked, "Really? Well, thank you so much, brother. How many are inside? Did you keep some for your family?"

Yang Dalin replied, "I kept some for my family. There were originally eight here, and I was thinking of giving you five. I had reserved the other three for other people. Since that's the case, I'll give you the remaining three next time. You can have them all. You've worked hard, so eat more and catch more bad guys."

Dou Xiaolong clearly understood that Yang Dalin was quite skilled at hunting rabbits, and quickly asked, "Brother, are you really good at hunting rabbits?"

Yang Dalin explained, "We were lucky today. There were few people there, mostly miners. There aren't many villages around, so they didn't arrest many. There were more on some abandoned hills nearby."

They weren't particularly easy to catch, but I'm pretty good with a slingshot, so I didn't need a gun. I shot down over a dozen today.

Dou Xiaolong stepped forward, grabbed Yang Dalin's hand, and said tightly, "Okay, okay, brother, you're awesome. Eight rabbits, I can't take them for free. I'll give you the market price, and I'll have the canteen give you the money, the invoice, and the receipt."

On behalf of my brothers, thank you.

Yang Dalin pulled his hand away and said, "Brother Long, I already said I did it myself, it's free, it's to support you. You've worked hard, I know you don't have much in terms of supplies."

Unlike our unit, which has more abundant supplies.

When Wu Tiejun saw Yang Dalin say this, he quickly explained, "Brother, you can't take things for free without paying."

I'll give you a discount later.

I'll go get Old Li from the cafeteria. You wait here.

Yang Dalin tried to explain, but Dou Xiaolong pressed him down into a chair.

He said, "Brother, an individual is an individual, and a workplace is a workplace. If you ever invite me to dinner alone, I'll accept it."

Since it's supposed to be a way to supplement everyone's nutrition, and this isn't just one or two animals, but dozens of kilograms of meat, how can I just take your stuff for free?

Please accept this without worry. If you receive similar benefits again in the future, please send them to our workplace.

My brother asked the cafeteria's purchasing department to issue you a receipt; it's not reselling.

I have to thank you for this.

Our company's benefits are indeed not as good as yours, although we are better than other companies in the same industry.

But if there's meat to eat, who wouldn't be happy? And nobody can take it for free.

Yang Dalin originally intended to give it away for free, but now it feels like he's come here to sell goods.

Yang Dalin wanted to argue, but the other two deputy captains interrupted him, saying that it was already very kind of him to come and deliver the meat.

I definitely can't take it for free.

Wu Tiejun ran quite fast and soon brought back a short, stocky man.

The man was wearing a white apron and two white sleeves.

He didn't even put down the large ladle in his hand.

All the way, it kept shouting, "Hey rabbit, where are you? Don't run away!"

The short, stocky man rushed into the office, not even bothering to greet the stranger, Yang Dalin.

First, he looked at the burlap sack on the ground, then opened it and pulled out a rabbit that was already frozen solid. He grabbed it by the ears and examined it: "Not bad, not bad, quite plump. Are these all of them?"

Dou Xiaolong said, "Yes, Lao Li, these are all. My brother made them himself and brought them directly to our unit. My brother said he wanted to give them away for free to help everyone get some nutrition, but I said we can't accept them for free. We should pay whatever it costs."

That's why Tie Jun called you here.
