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

The house of Grandma Wang, where Yang Dalin wanted to move, was only two alleys away from Tian Xueyi's house.

It takes less than ten minutes to walk there, let alone by bike.

Yang Dalin arrived very quickly.

However, before Yang Dalin even entered Tian Ge's house, something seemed off. It sounded like Sister-in-law Liu Meimei was scolding Tian Xueyi.

Yang Dalin parked his car in front of Tian Xueyi's house.

Carrying my things, I knocked on the door, and it opened quickly.

The door was opened by Tian Xueyi's wife, Liu Meimei.

When Liu Meimei saw that it was Yang Dalin, her face lit up with a smile: "Dalinzi is here, come in quickly."

Yang Dalin saw Tian Xueyi rubbing his knees behind Liu Meimei.

Liu Meimei's sister-in-law was also holding a feather duster in her other hand.

None of Tian Ge's children were home either.

Tian Xueyi saw that it was his apprentice who had arrived.

With a wry smile, he said, "You brat, you're back?"

Come in quickly.

Yang Dalin handed the things in his hand to Liu Meimei: "Sister-in-law, I just got back yesterday and came to wish you a Happy New Year today."

Yang Dalin glanced at the washboard marks on the ground and the washboard next to him, then asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Did my brother Tian make you angry?"

If the feather duster doesn't work, I still have sturdy elm sticks or bramble branches.

Those guys were really into it.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xueyi became furious and shouted from inside the house, "You brat, get out of here! You're not welcome today!"

Liu Meimei smiled and took the things, saying, "Really?"

Dalinzi has other good stuff, bring it next time!

This feather duster is really useless; it didn't hurt the person at all.

They still don't know how to repent.

Come in quickly, and ignore that idiot.

"I'm so angry about the three-day holiday."

Yang Dalin walked into the room and saw Brother Tian sitting down while rubbing his knees.

He also ignored Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Brother Tian? Why?"

What did you do to offend my sister-in-law?

Tian Xueyi snorted, indicating that he didn't want to pay any attention to this traitorous disciple.

He even planned to send elm sticks and brambles to the tigress in his house so she could whip him.

Is this his good apprentice? Or is this his enemy? A traitorous apprentice indeed.

Liu Meimei put down her things, closed the door, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let Dalinzi be the judge. You have three days off, and you drink every day. So what if you drink a little? Look at how you threw up all over the bed last night."

Yesterday, I served you all night.

The noise kept the children from sleeping well.

I have to take apart and wash the quilt first thing this morning, and I don't even know if it will be completely dry in this weather.

If you keep drinking like this, I won't let you into my house.

"I'll make you sleep on the street."

When Yang Dalin came in, he did see the sheets and duvet covers drying outside.

Today isn't a good day, I really don't know if I can do it.

Brother Tian's family doesn't only have this one quilt and sheet.

This is probably because he angered Sister-in-law Liu Meimei, which is why Brother Tian got punished.

But Brother Tian knows his limits when it comes to drinking; he doesn't seem like someone who likes to drink excessively.

Yang Dalin asked him, "Brother Tian, ​​what exactly happened?"

You don't usually drink like this.

Tian Xueyi took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "It has something to do with you too."

Last night, a few colleagues and I were drinking together.

They were a little envious of your many achievements, saying that I had gained a good apprentice for free, so they urged me to have a few more drinks.

I was so happy that I drank a bit too much.

I guess the wine from yesterday wasn't very good; I kept vomiting and had a headache after drinking it.

I don't usually drink that much; I know my limits.

Next time you see them, help me get them stuffed to death.

Avenge me.

Okay, I get it. I guess my colleagues are a little jealous of me.

Unable to find Yang Dalin, they made him, their nominal master, drink wine.

Most of my colleagues are upright and honest former soldiers. Everyone is jealous, but there's nothing outwardly about it. We just drink and compete at drinking parties.

As it turned out that Yang Dalin wasn't there, everyone focused on dealing with Brother Tian, ​​and Brother Tian got drunk.

Yang Dalin thought to himself that he would avenge Brother Tian later.

Yang Dalin could use the space to become a heavy drinker.

Make sure they lose convincingly.

Yang Dalin thought of this and said, "That's easy, Brother Tian, ​​let's go get revenge tonight."

We'll drink them all under the table, until they're all passed out.

Tian Xueyi had never actually seen Yang Dalin drunk, but he knew that people from Shandong Province could drink a lot.

He immediately said happily, "Okay, let's go get revenge tonight."

Upon hearing this, Liu Meimei decided to go drinking again tonight.

He got a little anxious and grabbed a feather duster, ready to stand up.

Yang Dalin stopped her: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's alright."

Brother Tian is coming with me tonight, but I won't let him have a drink.

I'll drink it, don't worry.

Our guy has a natural capacity for alcohol, don't worry.

Yang Dalin pressed Liu Meimei down by the shoulders and said, "He won't drink, and you're still young. It's not good for you to drink alone."

If you drink too much and feel unwell, don't go.

"Just tell that guy surnamed Tian to drink less in the future."

Yang Dalin comforted her again: "Sister-in-law, it's really okay. You have no idea how much I can drink."

Let alone Brother Tian alone, even with two brothers like Brother Sheng, it wouldn't be a problem.

"It's absolutely fine, don't worry."

Seeing how certain Yang Dalin was, Liu Meimei asked with some skepticism, "Really?"

"Absolutely, really, sister-in-law, when have you ever seen me boast?"

"No, no, you're more composed than your master, who's surnamed Tian."

I think it's fine for him to call you "Master" from now on.

Upon hearing his wife's words, Tian Xueyi, though he doted on her and would never hit a woman, still knew how to scare her. He glared at her and said with a fierce expression, "What nonsense are you talking about? A teacher for a day is a teacher for life. Just because he can drink doesn't mean he's my teacher."

This is going against the natural order! Alright, you'd better go cook.

The children will be back soon.

Liu Meimei glared at her husband: "I really owe your family something. Alright, Dalinzi, have a seat. Your sister-in-law will go cook for you."

Liu Meimei said the first half of the sentence while looking fiercely at Tian Xueyi, and the second half was said to Yang Dalin with a smile.

Yang Dalin wanted to go to the kitchen to help.

Liu Meimei pushed him out.

Yang Dalin returned to the living room.

He pulled a Tokarev pistol from his back and handed it to Brother Tian.

Brother Tian happily took it and fiddled with it for a bit.

"What do you mean?"

"Here's a gift for your brother Tian. He's caught a few this time."

Don't tell Sheng Ge, I gave him one yesterday. I told him I had just seized one and gave it to him.

He doesn't know yet.

Let him be happy for a few days.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so happy if he found out. I was just asking him to help me get a job offer.

Tian Xueyi quickly disassembled the gun into parts and then reassembled it.

The magazine wasn't inserted, so I fired a blank shot.

Without even looking up, he said, "Okay, let him be happy for a few days first."

By the way, what do you need the work quota for? To give to your little brother or your little wife?

Do you need my help?

Yang Dalin replied, "No rush, Brother Tian. What we need is next year's work targets."

I gave them to my sister Yan and Ma San.

My sister Yan will graduate from high school next summer, and I'd like her to work with Sister Mei.

My little buddy, he might join the team sooner, around next spring. Then, Brother Tian, ​​you can take him on as your apprentice, okay?
