Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

Lin Weidong thought, "That's a good idea!"

We need tough guys like you!

He praised it.

"Actually, I'm quite envious of having a respected person like Uncle Niu who can step forward to settle disputes and seek justice. In our courtyard, there's no one who can stand up for us, so we don't seem very united."

"Hey! I'm nothing special, just an ordinary old man. Comrade Lin, you flatter me... I'm happy to help my neighbors in any way!"

Lin Weidong's words struck a chord with him.

Despite his modesty, Uncle Niu's smile grew even wider.

Lin Weidong was not exaggerating or deliberately praising him.

The pressure on grassroots management during this period was considerable. The government could not cover everything, and in some aspects, it still had to rely on respected elders like Grandpa Niu to provide moral guidance and assistance.

In the original drama, Master Niu already bore this responsibility, and the liaison system in the future courtyard also takes this into consideration.

However, this system was amplified by Yi Zhonghai and others who called them "big shots in charge."

Their lust for power and ulterior motives were one aspect, but another was related to the indulgence and leniency of the King of Gaizi.

This person's personality was evident from the day he started working and immediately went to the hospital to make his presence known by spouting grand principles.

Of course, from another perspective, she is still very responsible for her work.

I came home from get off work the next day.

Lin Weidong then saw Wang Xiulan visit the courtyard house again.

She's been a regular at the hospital lately; I wonder what brought her here today.

Lin Weidong's doubts had just arisen when He Yushui, who was chasing her little dog around in the yard, saw him and immediately ran over, pointing at Wang Xiulan talking to her father and complaining.

"Uncle Lin, that auntie told my dad I'm of school age and have to go to school, but I don't want to go, what should I do?"

He Yushui thought to herself that Uncle Lin was a cadre just like that annoying aunt. If Uncle Lin supported her, then she wouldn't have to go.

The weather has just warmed up, and she hasn't had enough fun yet.

Lin Weidong chuckled. This girl truly lived up to her reputation as the most shrewd and clear-headed character in the drama, yet she was already acting like a modern child, averse to studying.

When I encounter a kid like this, I really want to give her a dozen sets of three years of mock exams and five years of college entrance exam preparation!

Lin Weidong sighed inwardly, but gave a serious piece of advice on his face.

"Going to school is a serious matter, Rainwater. It's about learning knowledge, understanding principles, and most importantly, all the children your age are going to school. If you don't go, you'll end up illiterate, unable to read or even understand comic books. Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?"

He Yushui's face froze upon hearing this; it did seem a little embarrassing...

Wang Xiulan visited several homes today, and He Daqing's lukewarm attitude was the most infuriating.

Upon hearing this, he felt as if he had found a kindred spirit and echoed it.

"Comrade Lin, you're right. If everyone valued children's education as much as you do, that would be wonderful. Comrade Lin, you're educated and know a lot, so please help persuade Master He! Sending children to school is a good thing, so why are you making excuses and being unwilling? Is this reasonable?"

Lin Weidong was taken aback by her overly familiar arrangements and put on a different smile.

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

"Hey! Officer Wang, don't get upset or discouraged. That's just how grassroots work is. It's tough, you'll get used to it. Our compound is full of ordinary people, it's normal that they don't pay much attention. Besides, when encouraging students to go to school, we have to consider their actual situation. Many families are indeed struggling. Please try to put yourself in their shoes and be more understanding!"

Wang Xiulan felt increasingly uneasy as she listened, and her face stiffened.

He Daqing didn't understand the implied meaning, seeing that Lin Weidong also supported the child's schooling and even spoke up for him.

My mood has improved after a long time, and this seems like an opportunity to ease tensions.

He quickly expressed to Wang Xiulan that he did not want her presence to interfere with his efforts to repair his relationship with Lin Weidong.

"Don't worry, Officer Wang, I'll take your advice and send my child to school tomorrow."

"Hehe...that's good...you guys chat while I go take a look around the other courtyards."

Wang Xiulan forced a stiff smile and quickly left, harboring a deep resentment towards Lin Weidong!

Why is this person like this? They just made a casual complaint and then made a huge fuss about it?

Everyone in the institute says he's conscious and has advanced ideas, but is this the kind of advancement he's talking about? Doesn't he care about his comrades' feelings at all?

Seeing through the status bar that Wang Xiulan's affection for him had plummeted, Lin Weidong silently curled his lip in disapproval.

He hates moral blackmail the most. Do I need you to tell me whether I should advise He Daqing or not?

Another factor is whether He Daqing knows what's good for him.

"Um...hey Xiaolin, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea? I noticed your wife isn't back today either, she must be busy. How about grabbing a bite at my place tonight? You can also try my cooking. About that silk shop incident...I've been wanting to apologize to you. Don't laugh at me, Xiaolin, but I'm a bit indecisive, and I've actually regretted it ever since!"

He Daqing seized the opportunity and, being sensible, not only took out a cigarette and struck up a conversation, but also encouraged He Yushui, the only person in the He family who could speak up, to invite Lin Weidong.

He Yushui was too young to understand the grudges between adults, but she was more than happy to invite Uncle Lin to her home for a meal.

At that moment, she was holding the little mongrel in one arm and clutching Lin Weidong's clothes with the other.

"Uncle Lin, let's go! My dad's cooking is amazing!"

He Daqing is indeed an indecisive person who follows the crowd; otherwise, he wouldn't have been tricked by a widow in the drama.

Lin Weidong was fairly satisfied with his attitude and accepted the cigarette.

"Master He, there's no need for dinner. To be honest, that matter didn't hurt me much. The main issue is that a personal grudge involving that young lady had a negative impact, and that's what angered me. Of course, now that we've talked it out, let bygones be bygones!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" He Daqing happily agreed, flashing the biggest smile on his face as he struck a match for Lin Weidong, repeatedly inviting him on.

"I know, I've remembered. I definitely won't ruin anyone's reputation again. Really, Xiaolin, thank you for your generosity. You absolutely have to eat this meal today. I still have a bottle of good wine at home, have a taste!"

"Sigh! Fine... If I disagree with Lao He, you'll think I'm lying and saying one thing but meaning another!"

At this moment, Lin Weidong was truly being hypocritical.

Considering that He Daqing was about to be beaten again, he decided to give him a glimmer of hope on the surface.

Don't be like Yi Zhonghai, who was under too much pressure and planned to run away. He Daqing has a criminal record... and a future one.

"No, no! You go back and rest first, Xiao Lin. I'll cook something and have Yu Shui call you."

As soon as Lin Weidong agreed, He Daqing was overjoyed. He ran home in a few steps, calling out to his son as he ran, "We need to go buy some meat and vegetables."

The opportunity to make friends came suddenly, and the family was really unprepared. He Daqing was experiencing a kind of happy trouble at this moment.

He Daqing was very excited and made a lot of noise. He didn't hide from people when he was talking in the courtyard.

Madam Jia Zhang, hiding behind the curtain, saw everything.
