Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

How can this be called making a fuss? This is about protecting the reputation of the courtyard house!

Lin Weidong was dissatisfied with He Daqing's attitude.

"Alright, alright, Master He, Zhu Zi is almost 16 years old, don't talk to him like that. Zhu Zi is just thinking about the reputation of the hospital!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai suddenly looked up at him. What did that mean? Was Lin Weidong supporting him?

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu smugly snorted at his father, already thinking about how to teach that brat at the front gate a lesson and show the people in the courtyard what he was capable of.

Lin Weidong subtly indicated his stance and decided not to participate further.

After he left, Yi Zhonghai was in high spirits. He didn't even bother to go home and apply medicine. He kept urging everyone in the courtyard to do the same.

Unfortunately, most of them only offered verbal agreement and support, without providing any real, accurate information.

However, there was one person who was different.

Liu Haizhong took this matter very seriously, but not to support Yi Zhonghai. He wanted to show his face in this matter because he saw that Lin Weidong was supportive.

He had recalled and longed for the scene of the factory commending model workers today many times, and his heart was filled with regret.

The key point is that Lin Weidong spoke at the commendation meeting, and it seemed that he would be stationed at the factory to supervise the work from now on.

If I show my face in front of Lin Weidong more often, won't I be included in the next commendation?

So, as soon as Lin Weidong stepped into the courtyard, Liu Haizhong followed right behind him.

He needed to talk to Lin Weidong first, so that Lin Weidong wouldn't think he was on Yi Zhonghai's side.

"Hey, Lin, what do you think? Should I help Yi Zhonghai this time? You know what kind of person Yi Zhonghai is, so I won't say much... But Lin, you're right, I also think the institute's reputation is more important! I'm thinking that at this time... shouldn't we think more about the institute? Shouldn't we consider the collective more?"

Lin Weidong glanced at him in surprise.

Why is Lao Liu so eloquent now? It's been so long since I've seen him speak like this.

"Master Liu, your awareness is quite high now! What have you been researching lately?"

"Hey! What am I studying... I just wanted to learn from what you guys were saying at the awards ceremony today!"

"Good job studying! The more you study, the more opportunities you'll have for important tasks in the future. I have high hopes for you, Master Liu!"

Lin Weidong gave him a thumbs up, and Liu Haizhong laughed even more heartily upon hearing this.

"Yes, yes! That's exactly what I meant. I'm thinking of learning more so I can contribute to the organization in the future! So, Xiaolin, what do you think about today's matter..."

"Tsk! This is indeed a difficult situation. I understand your concerns, Lao Liu. After all, Master Yi is a man... How about this, since we're standing up for Master Yi, he can't just stand by and do nothing, right? You see what he means. If Master Yi doesn't know how to behave, then it's better not to help him."

"That's great! That's great! It's been so long since we've had a banquet in our courtyard. The last one was when I accepted Dongxu as my apprentice. Okay, I understand, Xiaolin. I'll go find Yi Zhonghai to check on things!"

He made a perfect appearance with his bangs, received new instructions, and left happily.

Lin Weidong smiled as he recalled the amount he had seen when scanning Yi Zhonghai's pocket.

We can't let Yi Zhonghai keep making money like this. If we save up some more money and with the old deaf man's sponsorship, the tricycle will belong to the Yi family.

Lin Weidong was doing it for his own good, because only by having a loan on his hands would he have the motivation to work hard every day.

Once it truly becomes your own private car, it's inevitable to become lazy and neglectful.

Lin Weidong had seen many such examples in his previous life, but Yi Zhonghai had not yet noticed the difference.

After returning home for a meal and applying his own medicine, Yi Zhonghai didn't forget to take care of his old friend.

As he was wiping the car with a rag, Liu Haizhong, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, strolled over.

"Hey, Lao Yi, washing your car?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at him but didn't say anything. "Are you asking a question you already know the answer to?"

Liu Haizhong was dissatisfied and reached out to pat Yi Zhonghai's cherished tricycle, making a loud clanging sound.

"Old Yi, isn't this attitude a bit off? Who in the courtyard will stand up for you like this?"

"Go film your son if you want! Liu Haizhong, don't keep making fun of me, I don't owe you anything!"

Yi Zhonghai was already annoyed, and when he saw Liu Haizhong causing trouble again, he angrily threw the rag at him.

Liu Haizhong wasn't annoyed and shook his head.

"Look at you, you're getting impatient. I'm really here to give you some advice. What do you mean by making fun of you? You're not a young lady."

Yi Zhonghai was astonished as if he had witnessed a fantastical tale of the sun rising in the west.

"You? You're going to give me advice? Ha! Heh..."

He first chuckled, then deliberately teased Liu Haizhong.

"Thanks, but no need. If no one helps, no one helps. It's not like I'm the only one who's embarrassed."

"Look, look, Lao Yi, this is where you're wrong. It's a favor if the people in the compound are willing to help you, and it's their right if no one does. Just like you said, nobody owes anyone anything, don't you think that makes sense?"

"so what?"

"So you have to make a sacrifice, Lao Yi. At the very least, you should treat everyone to a drink so they'll have the strength to help you get revenge! Think about it, would you be willing to step forward for no reason?"

Yi Zhonghai fell silent. Why did it seem like Liu Haizhong was more concerned than he was?

It's a good thing if someone is willing to stand up for you.

After all, he had tried to persuade them for a long time, but failed.

One or two of them were smoking and making noise, but it didn't mean anything... In this courtyard, he had absolutely no face left!

"What? You don't want to? Fine, never mind then. Old Yi, you've become stingy now that you're away from the steel mill, always trying to take advantage of everyone. Tsk tsk tsk..."

Liu Haizhong was too impatient and made sarcastic remarks without thinking, which made Yi Zhonghai so angry that he wanted to hit him.

"Don't talk nonsense, I never meant that!"

"Your reluctance is practically written all over your face, yet you still pretend. That's your downfall, Lao Yi—you're too much of a show-off. Think about it carefully. We have cooks and other manpower in the compound. We can easily gather a few people to stand up for you over a few drinks. You can't even understand this simple logic? I really overestimated you before!"

"Alright, alright, stop spouting hindsight. I broke up with He Daqing a long time ago. I can't get him to come back. I don't know how much it would cost to hire another person and add ingredients. Forget it, I'm not going to take revenge. I accept this loss."

"Old He? What are you afraid of? If you can't get it done, someone else can, right?"
