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

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong waved their hands at the same time and said, "No need, we've already prepared everything at home, you can eat your own food."

Old Yan, you'd better find a way to reconcile with Yang Dalin quickly.

Otherwise, if we wait until nightfall, we really won't have any options.

After saying that, Yi and Liu quickly left the Yan family's gate.

The two of them only dared to breathe deeply after leaving Yan's house.

Liu Haizhong walked beside Yi Zhonghai and muttered weakly, "He's got a pretty strong, pungent smell."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Liu Haizhong and chuckled.

He said, "Alright, let's go home."

Hurry home and have breakfast, I have to go to work soon.

Let's not tell anyone.

Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "I definitely know about this, but Lao Yi, even if neither of us tells anyone, do you think the old women in the yard and the other people working at the steel rolling mill in the yard will not tell anyone when they go out?"

Believe it or not, before noon, someone from our workshop will come and ask us if there's a teacher in our yard who wets his pants.

Do you believe it or not?

Yi Zhonghai shuddered as he thought of his gossipy colleagues at the factory.

Then he said, "That's quite possible. Oh well, we can't control other people's legs or their mouths."

We just need to take care of ourselves.

Let's go home and have dinner first.

Don't be late again.

Upon reaching the central courtyard, Liu Haizhong immediately took his leave and went to the backyard. Yi Zhonghai didn't rush into the east wing of his own house; he first glanced at Sha Zhu's house.

I was just thinking of asking Sha Zhu for a word of advice, but Sha Zhu is a real gossip, and his words slip out quickly.

Then I realized that Yang Dalin must be at Sha Zhu's house right now.

Forget it, I'll tell him on my way to work or after I get to the factory.

Tell him to keep his mouth shut in the kitchen, otherwise if Sha Zhu mentions it in the kitchen, everyone in the factory might find out by lunchtime.

Official business may not spread quickly, but gossip spreads much faster than national policies.

Old Yi shook his head and went straight home for dinner.

Meanwhile, Yang Dalin and the Qi Yanhua sisters were chatting at Shazhu's house.

Sha Zhu and his wife even offered to treat Yang Dalin and his family to breakfast.

Yang Dalin and the other two repeatedly declined, saying they had already eaten.

Miya then stopped trying to add some grain to the pot.

Yang Dalin also noticed that Sha Zhu's wife, Mi Ya, had a slightly protruding belly.

Does this mean they have a little silly boy?

Yang Dalin quietly asked Sha Zhu, "Brother Zhu, is your wife pregnant?"

Sha Zhu said happily in a low voice, "Yeah, thanks to listening to you, I've taken care of my health first."

Then she got pregnant not long after.

It has to be said that Sha Zhu's marksmanship is quite accurate.

It can hit the target with one shot.

Just like in the show, he and the silly moth got pregnant with a son in one night.

I should send Sha Zhu some good stuff later so he can nourish his wife.

After all, Miya is also Yanhua and Xiaoning's martial arts teacher.

He usually gets along very well with his aunt and respects her quite a bit.

Since I'm not home, it would be nice if Miya and Shazhu could go over and help their aunt.

Yang Dalin didn't say anything more about bringing something, otherwise the other person would definitely refuse and say they didn't need it.

He said he could just bring her over that evening, and he held Mili and played with her for a while.

He Yushui asked him again and again to confirm whether Yan Bugui had really wet his pants.

Yang Dalin would not help Yan Bugui cover up the truth.

He simply said, "Anyway, I didn't see a teacup on the table when I went in, nor did I see any spilled water on the floor. You guess the rest."

He Yushui smiled and said, "Then I'm sure I can guess it."

Sha Zhu then said to Yang Dalin, "Dalinzi, what did your family do last night? Do you know what Yan Bugui's family said about you?"

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Dalin decided to tell Sha Zhu about the house he had acquired. His family didn't lack houses, and even if they did, Sha Zhu wouldn't try to take advantage of Yang Dalin's personality.

Moreover, if Grandpa Qi finds out, it's fine to tell Sha Zhu. He whispered in Sha Zhu's ear, "Of course he knows, otherwise why would I have ambushed their house so early in the morning?"

"I've told you about my business, so please keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone else. Only you and Uncle Qi in the courtyard know. I didn't tell Brother Da Mao."

Others might say that Sha Zhu is quite good at talking, as long as he can get involved with Xu Damao.

In the drama, there's Lou Xiao'e's bracelet, his cooking recipes, and information about the big boss. You see, who did Sha Zhu tell about it?

This kid is quite shrewd.

Aside from the case of being tricked by a widow.

Sha Zhu quickly patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I must keep what Xu Damao doesn't know a secret. Tell me quickly."

Yang Dalin then told everyone that they had stayed in the new house the day before.

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu immediately offered his blessings to Yang Dalin, without any other thoughts whatsoever.

Yang Dalin knew that Yan Bugui would definitely want to explain what happened yesterday to him today.

But Yang Dalin didn't want to pay him any attention.

Just as Sha Zhu was about to start eating, he said, "Brother Zhu, sister-in-law, you eat first. I'll go take Sister Yan and Xiao Ning to school."

Tonight I'll invite Uncle Qi over for a drink.

I'll prepare the food and drinks; Brother Zhu will handle the cooking.

When Sha Zhu saw that Yang Dalin was really going to leave, he didn't stop him.

At this time, when other people are having dinner at their homes, most people wouldn't rush to go to someone else's house or stay there.

Sha Zhu said, "Okay, let's get together tonight."

Yang Dalin returned to the front yard, pushed the cart, and Yan Bugui peered out the window.

He saw Qi Yanhua and Qi Xiaoning following Yang Dalin with their schoolbags on their backs, and he knew that Yang Dalin was taking them to school.

It wasn't convenient for me to call Yang Dalin right now, so I thought I'd wait until he came back before looking for him.

He's easier to talk to when he's alone.

Even if I lose face, no one else will notice.

To everyone's surprise, Yan Bugui, who had taken leave, waited all day but Yang Dalin never returned.

Yang Dalin dropped Yan Jie and Xiao Ning off at the school gate, and talked to them on the way.

He won't be coming home for lunch.

Let them talk to their aunt.

Also, if Yan Bugui comes to his house today, he should say that he doesn't know when he will be back.

I don't even know where they went.

You don't need to listen to anything else.

You don't need to worry about it; he'll handle everything when he gets back in the evening.

So Yang Dalin saw off the Qi sisters.

Then he never went back to No. 95 Courtyard.

I just went out and had some fun with some people.

I also need to visit Uncle Pi, who tans leather.

We took out a lot of leather from the space and had Uncle Pi help us tan it again.

There are quite a few good things here.

There are plenty of bear skins, wolf skins, sheep skins, deer skins, and fox skins.

Yang Dalin was afraid of scaring Uncle Pi, so he planned to give it to Uncle Pi in several portions.

The amount of leather in his own space is enough for Uncle Pi to work for several years.

Taking out too much at once is also troublesome.

Yang Dalin paid Uncle Pi a small amount of cash for his work, and the rest was mostly grain. He even gave Uncle Pi some wild boar meat as a bonus.

So Uncle Pi was happy to do this part-time job for Yang Dalin.

After seeing Uncle Pi, Yang Dalin originally wanted to go and spend a day with the younger brothers in the compound.

But considering they also have to go to school today, and we had to find someone else to make up the difference, we decided against it.

I'll send them a message first, and we'll find a chance to get together again tomorrow. I'll tell them to find a good place to wait for me tomorrow at noon.

Then Yang Dalin went to visit the homes of the abducted children.
