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

The children of the General Logistics Department are always very generous and willing to spend money.

Haha, it would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on with his dad or his family.

Yang Dalin told them, "From now on, things will remain the same as before."

If you can't beat them, run away.

I'll deal with him; I won't meet him right away.

I'll find out more about his situation first.

I'll go to the school with you in a bit. When we get to the school gate, just have one of you quietly point him out to me.

You don't need to worry about anything else.

If he asks you again, just say I'm still away on a business trip.

Yang Dalin wasn't going to be foolish enough to just go and hit him.

That's too easy to get yourself into trouble.

After all, they are descendants of powerful and influential people.

I'm not afraid to show up myself, but I don't want to cause trouble for my aunt.

If you're going to do something, you have to strike hard. If his father or his family has a problem, just report them. That'll solve the problem.

Without even showing his face, he could simply eliminate the family that was backing him up. Without his family's support, that arrogant and domineering rich kid would be nothing but a fart.

If nothing happens to his family, that's fine; at most, he'll have to be more careful in the future. But if something does happen, he might end up going to the Northwest to dig sand with his family.

Yang Dalin and his group of underlings split up and walked in different directions.

We arrived at the gate of their school.

He hid in a corner with only one of his underlings.

Yang Dalin and his classmates had a long lunch break, so when they arrived at school, they were about to start class.

Soon, the henchman pointed to a guy in the middle of a group of twenty or thirty people and said, "Boss, that's the one in the middle wearing green military pants."

Yang Dalin got a clear look at Li Zheng's appearance.

Let my younger brother go back to school first.

I'll go check out this rich kid's house these next few nights.

The younger brothers went to school, and it was hot outside in the afternoon, so Yang Dalin went straight home with Ma San.

Ma San prepared to continue working, while Yang Dalin took a nap at home.

As it was almost time to leave work, Yang Dalin left early.

I left early to ambush Xu Damao.

This didn't last long before Xu Damao was stuck on the road.

Yang Dalin pulled him to a secluded corner.

People in courtyard number 95 usually don't go there, and they can't see it.

Xu Damao asked, "What's up, Dalinzi? Need to talk to me?"

Let's go home and talk first.

Let's have a good drink tonight, you two brothers.

Yang Dalin stopped Xu Damao: "Brother Damao, I have something to ask you."

Xu Damao asked, "I knew you must have something to say if you brought me here."

Can't we go back to my house first?

"I got all sweaty from riding my bike today, how about I come to my place and take a shower first?"

"Brother Da Mao, I'm asking here because I can't go to your house."

Let's talk about it later with a drink.

"Alright, since that's the case, go ahead and ask."

Yang Dalin then recounted what he had heard about Wei Xiaona's behavior the night before last, and her behavior yesterday when he wasn't home.

Then Yang Dalin said, "Brother Da Mao, don't be anxious. Think about it carefully. My sister-in-law and I have no grudges against each other."

I've been pretty good to you, haven't I?

He also showed great respect to his sister-in-law.

I'm not usually home.

How did I offend my sister-in-law? Why does she have such a big problem with me?

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao became a little anxious: "This wretched woman, I think she's been climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles for three days without being disciplined."

I'll go back and deal with her right away.

Yang Dalin pulled on Xu Damao's car again: "Brother Damao, don't rush."

Let me finish.

I'm not trying to ruin your relationship, nor am I suggesting you go back to fighting.

I want to figure out what's going on.

I know that Qin Huairu often goes to your house when you're not home.

Is it because my sister-in-law heard something from Qin Huairu and was influenced by her that she has a problem with me? If so, it's quite simple.

My sister-in-law was just misled; we can talk it out.

If it's not because of that, then you might need to figure it out gradually.

Don't let your sister-in-law ruin our relationship.

Yang Dalin kept staring into Xu Damao's eyes.

We need to see if Xu Damao is lying, or if his wife was instigated by him.

Xu Damao played a double game with himself, saying one thing to the surface and another behind the scenes.

From any perspective, Xu Damao didn't seem to be lying.

His eyes showed no panic, nor did he subconsciously look to the right or upper right.

This is a normal lying reaction for right-handed people in psychology.

Xu Damao is a normal person, not left-handed.

These are all pieces of knowledge that Yang Dalin learned from reading Tomato novels in his previous life.

If Xu Damao wanted to lie or make up stories, he would never escape Yang Dalin's eyes.

When Xu Damao saw Yang Dalin staring at him, he knew that Yang Dalin might still suspect that he had said something to his wife.

He quickly explained, "Brother, you don't still doubt me, do you?"

Since you came to our courtyard, we've had no grudges against each other. You even had me and Sha Zhu mediate and get us to stop fighting. I've also become quiet.

I'm not so bad as to not be able to tell right from wrong.

I treat you like a brother, how could I possibly speak ill of you in front of your sister-in-law?

Not to mention that every time you come to my place for drinks, you always bring meat and good wine, which makes you different from those people who like to take advantage of others.

I have no reason to speak ill of you.

"Yeah, I believe you, Brother Mao."

"That's strange. Could it really be because of Qin Huairu?"

"That's possible. I actually know that your sister-in-law and Qin Huairu are close."

I reminded her before.

She said she had no one to talk to in the yard. Although Qin Huairu liked to take advantage of others, she could chat with her and relieve her boredom. I thought to myself, since Qin Huairu is useful, let her take advantage of others if she wants.

Your sister-in-law knows what's going on.

She also knew that Qin Huairu liked to take advantage of others.

But just pretend you don't know, since it will keep her entertained.

However, I was there the night before last when she went along with Qin Huairu's words. I pulled her back immediately and even argued with her for a bit. Shouldn't she have stopped causing trouble for no reason?

"Yes, Brother Da Mao, what you're saying proves that your wife isn't brainless."

They seem quite intelligent.

Logically, she wouldn't bother me for no reason.

That's why I came to you first.

Ask about the situation, and pretend you don't know anything for now, then go back and figure it out slowly.

Don't let your frequent absences cause any trouble.

"I'll hurt you again."

"I'll go back and give them a good beating, then I'll go and find out the truth."

"No, Brother Da Mao, I think we should take things slowly."

You need to observe carefully.

I heard that she also looks down on the other families in the yard.

If you think she comes from a wealthy family and looks down on these poor neighbors, that's fine too.

As long as everyone is doing alright.

There's nothing else going on.

I always felt that since my sister-in-law was so smart, why did she have to deliberately offend people?

Is there another reason?

What if you ask her directly but she won't tell you?

Could a real fight actually break out?

This requires you to pay attention and observe slowly.

Don't wrong your sister-in-law. If I caused you and your sister-in-law to fight, wouldn't I feel terrible too?

Xu Damao understood and thought about it carefully.

"Okay, I understand, Dalinzi. I'm not in a hurry when I get back; I'll take a closer look."

Let's find out why.

And gradually, I'll figure out what she's really thinking.

"Alright, as long as you understand my good intentions, let's go."

You go back first.

I'll come over to your house for drinks in a little while.
