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

After Sha Zhu finished settling his two younger sisters, he said, "I'll bring the blankets over in a bit."

Let the two of them stay here; don't let them go to the Intermediate People's Court.

"Brother, come back. Why don't you go to the Intermediate People's Court and take a look?"

Yang Dalin slapped his thigh: "Auntie, could you help Yushui and Mili make up the bed?"

"I'll go to the Intermediate People's Court with Brother Zhu first."

Qi Yulan said, "Okay, then you can go. Zhuzi, you don't need to bring bedding. We have blankets here."

I can just cuddle with Mili to sleep tonight.

"Alright, then thank you for your trouble, Auntie," Sha Zhu said.

Then Yang Dalin and Ma San followed Sha Zhu to the Central Court.

At this time, there were still many neighbors in the courtyard, and several elderly men were sitting on long benches outside the courtyard.

Such as Grandpa Qi, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, etc.

There were also many adult men in the courtyard, some squatting and some standing, chatting idly.

It was cold, so they even set up a brazier.

When the others saw Yang Dalin arrive with Shazhu, they all said in succession, "Dalinzi is back."

Only Yi Zhonghai nodded sadly.

Yang Dalin responded, "Yes, I'll see if I can help."

Uncle Yi, please accept my condolences.

Yi Zhonghai had tears in his eyes, seemingly heartbroken for his apprentice on whom he had placed such high hopes.

He said in a low voice, "Sigh... Go in, light some incense, and send your brother Dongxu off on his way."

Are you free tomorrow?

"Come help me out when you have time."

Yang Dalin said directly, "Don't worry, Uncle Yi, I heard about this and immediately took leave to come and help tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai wiped his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, go ahead."

Yang Dalin and Ma San entered the Jia family.

Sha Zhu didn't come in; he stayed outside talking to a few old men.

The Jia family set up a mourning hall in the living room of the west wing of the central courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai's wife, Wen Xiumei, Liu Haizhong's wife, Wang Yuhuan, and several other elderly women accompanied Jia Zhangshi.

Several newlywed women were keeping Qin Huairu company in the courtyard.

They weren't relatives of the Jia family, nor were they considered members of the younger generation. They didn't need to kneel to accompany Qin Huairu in returning the greeting, but it wasn't appropriate for them to sit on stools either, so they used a cushion to sit on the ground with Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu knelt beside Banggeng and Xiaodang, sobbing softly.

As soon as Yang Dalin entered, he first offered a stick of incense to Jia Dongxu.

Then he bowed three times.

Then switch to Mazda 3.

Yang Dalin walked up to Jia Zhangshi and said, "Auntie, please accept my condolences."

Jia Zhangshi looked up and saw Yang Dalin.

She couldn't help but cry again.

Yang Dalin walked over to Qin Huairu and was about to speak.

Yang Dalin saw Qin Huairu raise her head, looking at him resentfully and shouting, "Yang Dalin, how dare you come here? It's all your fault that Dongxu is ruined."

"You'll pay with your life! You'll have to pay for my Dongxu's life!"

Qin Huairu was crying quietly with her head down, and Yang Dalin didn't actually see the resentful look in her eyes.

Now she raises her head, her face already disfigured by Yang Dalin, making her even uglier.

She put the children aside, stood up, and tried to pounce on Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin quickly stepped back and left the Jia family's house.

After all, the house wasn't very big.

Several young wives quickly pulled Qin Huairu aside and tried to persuade her.

The men outside the courtyard all gathered around.

Qin Huairu continued to curse Yang Dalin.

Yang Dalin thought Qin Huairu was crazy.

If it weren't for the fact that her family had just lost its man, Yang Dalin would have definitely gone up and slapped her.

Yi Zhonghai then shouted, "Huai Ru, shut up, what are you yelling about?"

Let's talk this out. Do you want Dongxu to leave without peace of mind?

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu collapsed to the ground and wailed, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, Yang Dalin!"

Despite his discomfort, Yang Dalin calmly said, "Sister-in-law Dongxu, what do you mean by blaming me?"

Let's make things clear.

I just got back from a business trip and didn't even have time to rest. When I heard the news, I came to your house immediately, thinking I'd come and see you today and help you out tomorrow.

How did I offend your family? What do you mean I have to pay for Dongxu's life?

When Yang Dalin heard the noise while he was speaking, all the adults who were still awake in the courtyard came out when Qin Huairu called out.

They gradually all gathered at the Intermediate People's Court.

Aunt Qi also squeezed through the crowd and walked to Yang Dalin's side.

On the other side were Ma San, Sha Zhu, and others.

Seeing that everyone had come out, Yi Zhonghai said again, "Yes, Huairu, we all know that Dongxu is gone and you are sad. It's not just you; many elders in the courtyard watched Dongxu grow up. Who wouldn't be sad?"

"Speak properly, don't say things recklessly."

Qin Huairu wiped away her tears and snot.

She stood up, like a lioness about to devour someone, and pointed at Yang Dalin, saying, "I'm not making this up. If it weren't for Yang Dalin encouraging my son Dongxu to change jobs..."

Dongxu would not have suffered this calamity, nor would this have happened.

It's all his fault; Yang Dalin is the murderer.

He's the one who killed Dongxu.

I will make him pay with his life.

As she spoke, she tried to pounce on him again, but the young wives held Qin Huairu back.

Yang Dalin also saw that Jia Zhangshi behind her seemed to be somewhat moved when she heard this. She raised her eyelids slightly and her eyes lit up, but they quickly dimmed again.

She didn't speak directly, but stood silently beside Qin Huairu.

The others also buzzed and began to discuss among themselves.

Yang Dalin stopped Aunt Qi and Ma San from starting a fight with Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu also wanted to speak.

Yang Dalin also stopped him.

Yang Dalin quickly went through the matter and guessed that Qin Huairu had two intentions.

Because Yang Dalin suggested that Jia Dongxu be reassigned, Yang Dalin had to pay him some compensation.

The second possibility is that she saw Yang Dalin was doing well and wanted to find a sucker to keep helping her family.

Isn't that a ready-made reason?

This kind of alliance doesn't necessarily mean that Yang Dalin will move into the Jia family's house, but it can be used as a pretext to get Yang Dalin to help their family for a long time without compensation.

They are constantly sucking blood.

So that they can have a better life.

The young people living the best lives in the courtyard right now are undoubtedly Yang Dalin, Shazhu, Xu Damao, and others.

The other two are already married; they have no connection to this matter and can't benefit from it.

Yang Dalin is the best choice.

Aunt Qi is also a good-tempered person who likes to help others.

With her abilities, it would be relatively easy for her to control Aunt Qi.

That's all Yang Dalin could think of for now.

He didn't want to become a sucker like the silly Zhu in the original drama.

He organized his thoughts and said, "Sister-in-law Dongxu, what you're saying makes no sense."

I suggested that Dongxu change jobs so that he could have more income.

It's for your family's good.

His accident happened to him, nobody wanted it, how can you blame me?

You have to understand that everyone has different talents. If he is not suited to be a fitter, can he be promoted to a repairman in a short period of time and earn more money?

In our team, for example, some people have been learning to drive for years but still can't seem to get the hang of it.

I get scared as soon as I get in the car and I don't dare to drive.

However, some people learn very quickly and adapt very soon.

This is a matter of individual talent.

I suggested Dongxu change jobs for the sake of your family, and now that he has an accident, you're blaming me?

"Then ask Grandpa Yi, Grandpa Liu, ask the workers who are learning to be fitters, have any accidents happened?"
