Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

After stroking his chin in thought, Lin Weidong decided to bring more people in.

Make them roll up!

He hadn't originally intended to continue targeting Yi Zhonghai, because he had already ruined Yi Zhonghai's reputation, leaving him only able to rely on the old deaf man in the courtyard.

Their alliance and love-hate relationship were part of Lin Weidong's plan, with the best outcome being for Yi Zhonghai to empty the old deaf man's savings.

But now Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing have become close again, which is not a good sign.

In this courtyard, do you think you, Yi Zhonghai, can just befriend whomever you want?

The next day.

There was a lot of activity in the courtyard.

Yesterday, Yi Zhonghai contacted another family who needed to hold a banquet, and today he is full of energy and plans to continue to attract business.

Taking advantage of the improved relationship between He Daqing and himself, he had to make a profit first.

Moreover, he gradually discovered that being a broker was a really good business; he could make money just by talking, which was much better than working himself to the bone in the factory.

As long as your network is large enough, making money is secondary! Connections are the real guarantee!

If he knew a high-ranking official, would he be afraid of a nobody like Lin Weidong?

As Yi Zhonghai completed his professional awakening, He Yuzhu from the courtyard followed him out, carrying a sack.

Meanwhile, Jin Lu's wife, arranged by Lin Weidong, was chatting with women in the backyard.

Taking advantage of someone complaining about their child being naughty, He Yuzhu's situation was revealed.

"...Oh, sister-in-law, don't worry. What child isn't mischievous? It's so convenient to see a doctor these days. Take He Yuzhu from the He family, for example. His hand was so badly injured, but it's almost healed. I just saw him going out for a walk. He's fine..."

Xu Damao, who was originally lazy, seemed to have a stress response when he heard the name He Yuzhu. He quickly grabbed his cotton hat and gloves and went out.

Torture of Sha Zhu every day is his source of amusement; he's gotten used to it.

He was wondering why he couldn't find him yesterday... Turns out he went out for a stroll?

Are you afraid of me?

You silly Zhu! Even if you run to the ends of the earth, you can't escape my grasp!

Xu Damao went out with a smug grin, looking completely self-satisfied.

I was very disappointed after running through two familiar alleys without seeing anyone.

This infuriated Lin Weidong, who was secretly observing the situation.

Damn it, is your mouth just for venting your anger? Don't you know to ask someone?

Left with no other option, Lin Weidong could only arrange for a clone to come forward and guide the process.

Meanwhile, Yan Bugui, who was fishing on the frozen moat outside Deshengmen, was also contacted by the clone arranged by Lin Weidong.

During a casual chat, he issued a "side quest" to Yan Bugui.

"Sigh, you really have to know people to make money. Yesterday, one guy in our compound got a referral fee of two yuan just because he knows a lot of people. Someone asked him about cooks, and he got one too! If I knew a great chef... what's the point of spending all my time asking around about who needs a cook? What's the point of fishing all this time?"

The speaker meant it, and the listener took it to heart.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui was astonished to find that it was possible to make money this way.

Who doesn't know the chef? Isn't He Daqing the head chef of Fengzeyuan Restaurant?

If only I could take on this referral business...

Yan Bugui, who had been fishing for a long time without catching any other fish, couldn't stand it any longer. He carried a small fish that was only two fingers wide and hurried home to inquire if anyone needed to host a banquet.

On the other side, Xu Damao, who had been guided by the clone to the surveillance site, was so cold that he shivered.

But seeing Sha Zhu sneaking around not far away, he had no intention of leaving.

Sha Zhu looks like he's up to no good. I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't keep an eye on him after all the suffering I've endured today!

The grain store was busy twice a day, with the main part being unloading and moving goods in the early morning and the rest in the evening.

Yi Zhonghai mingled among the laborers, doing work when there was work to be done, and chatting with people who came to buy grain when there was no work.

As evening fell, Jia Dongxu arrived in a hurry with Liu Haizhong.

It wasn't until this moment that Liu Haizhong and He Yuzhu met and learned of each other's involvement.

They couldn't help but all look at Jia Dongxu.

"That master... Sha Zhu... um, I think dealing with Yi Zhonghai is more important!"

Jia Dongxu forced himself to explain.

Liu Haizhong thought about it and realized that completing Lin Weidong's task was more important.

He Yuzhu wanted to turn around and leave, but he had been waiting for most of the day in the cold winter weather, and he was really unwilling to go back like that.

The three people, each with their own thoughts, hid to the side, waiting for Yi Zhonghai to leave.

To be honest, putting sacks on people requires very little skill.

Especially in the winter when everyone is wearing a cotton hat and scarf to cover their face.

Yi Zhonghai never expected that someone would put a sack over his head. After the grain store manager paid the workers and dismissed everyone, he hung his head and focused on walking back.

As he passed through a small alley, he was caught red-handed by Jia Dongxu, who was waiting on his tiptoes.

His body was already sore from carrying the grain, and then he was punched and kicked, making him so angry that he almost cried!

"Who the hell is it?! Who the hell is it?!"

"You're bullying honest people!"

……

Yi Zhonghai's shouts went unanswered, and even Xu Damao, who witnessed everything, did not step forward to expose him.

He wasn't stupid. Right now, Yi Zhonghai was furious and might even blame him for not speaking up.

At this moment, Xu Damao quietly followed behind Liu Haizhong and the other two, a smug smile on his lips that seemed to say he had seen through everything.

It's said that there are four essential bonds between men, and doing something naughty together, like putting sacks in each other's pockets, is a great way to strengthen a relationship.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong and the other two walked side by side on the way back, each with a smile on their face.

He Yuzhu was young after all, and his hatred came and went quickly.

He hooked his arm around Jia Dongxu's shoulder with his only good hand, looking excited and full of emotion, and even praised Liu Haizhong.

"Oops, I was a little slow and only kicked a few times... Master Liu, you were quick! That barrage of punches completely stunned Yi Zhonghai, haha!"

"Don't you even know what my master does? He wields a sledgehammer! Even without the two of us here today, my master could easily deal with Yi Zhonghai!"

"Hey! Keep it down." Liu Haizhong tried to suppress the corners of his mouth, reminding Jia Dongxu not to overdo it, and also didn't forget to comfort Sha Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, are you injured on your hand? And you're quite capable for kicking Yi Zhonghai down with one kick..."

"Master, what about me? What about me?"

"Dongxu, you're amazing too! You're quick, and today it's all thanks to your accurate predictions. Excellent, excellent..."

……

The three of them, Liu Haizhong, smoked as they walked, reviewing and discussing the situation. Amidst the swirling smoke, their relationship seemed to grow much closer.

They went over the plan with each other and were convinced that it was foolproof and no one would find out.

Back in the courtyard, he secretly kept an eye on Yi Zhonghai, waiting to see what would happen.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai return with a bruised and swollen face, they colluded with others to feign concern and offer their greetings.

"Hey Lao Yi, what happened? Didn't you go to move grain? Did you get into a fight with the grain store clerk?"

Yi Zhonghai remained silent with a dark expression, his bloodshot eyes sweeping over the crowd of onlookers, with particular attention to Liu Haizhong.

He strongly suspected that Liu Haizhong was behind it; the force of his punches was familiar!

All three people involved in the plan had taken action, so Liu Haizhong wasn't afraid of being betrayed.

She met his gaze without fear, her words still dripping with sarcasm.

"I must say, Master Yi, you're quite brave... when you're short of food at home, you just use what you have on hand..."

"Hahaha……"
