Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human
Chapter 38 Chen's Silk Shop
Tian Zao, who attended the literacy class peacefully for a day, gained a lot. For some reason, she felt like she had become much smarter.
She had some doubts when she was learning cooking yesterday, and she felt even more strongly about it when she took the class today.
She vaguely guessed that it was related to Lin Weidong, and a deep longing welled up in her heart.
The thought that Lin Weidong hadn't come to see her for a day and a night made Tian Zao realize that the message on the note that Lin Weidong was going to see other women wasn't a joke.
She felt wronged and deeply resentful!
She didn't know if she was the eldest or the second eldest... or maybe the third eldest. In any case, in her eyes, everything about Lin Weidong was good, and it was perfectly normal for him to have other women.
It doesn't matter. I'm already studying hard, and I'm sure I'll be able to hold a certain place in Lin Weidong's heart in the future.
Moreover... at least in the house at No. 13 courtyard, she is the lady of the house!
As Tian Zao walked, she persuaded herself. When she came out of the school gate and saw a familiar figure, a smile appeared on her pretty face, which was wrapped in a scarf.
See? I told you Lin Weidong cares about himself; someone drops him off from school and picks him up in the morning.
How wonderful!
The two walked hand in hand, exchanging culinary knowledge. Since it was still early, they strolled around Qianmen Street.
Suddenly, Hu Yi's wife stopped and looked to the side. Tian Zao followed her gaze and saw a shop facing the street with a sign that read "Chen's Silk Shop".
At the store entrance, a well-dressed woman is seeing a customer off.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Lin Weidong also learned of the existence of Chen's Silk Shop through Hu Yi's wife's report.
However, he simply doesn't have the opportunity to go see it yet...
Bai Ling gradually realized that she was wrong; she had underestimated Lin Weidong and overestimated herself.
Perhaps due to excessive anticipation and longing, she behaved extremely poorly today, being overly sensitive.
Despite being able to fight again with his extremely fast recovery speed, he could not suppress Lin Weidong's arrogant arrogance.
Remembering her bold words from the morning, Bai Ling finally pulled the blanket over her face, effectively refusing to fight.
Not satisfied, Lin Weidong wanted to find Tian Zao again, so he secretly continued his actions. Bai Ling fell for it as expected, her slender fingers overlapping and tightly covering the door.
"Please spare my sister, Weidong? I really can't go on today."
"Don't be so arrogant next time, okay? I'm the invincible god of war! Okay, you can rest now, I'm going out for a walk. What do you want to eat later?"
"Whatever, whatever." Bai Ling just wanted to sleep right now, so she nodded perfunctorily.
……
No. 13, Suoyi Hutong.
When Lin Weidong arrived, Tian Zao was practicing her cooking skills under the tutelage of Hu Yi's wife. Upon seeing him, Tian Zao excitedly served the dishes for Lin Weidong to try.
When it comes to cooking, as long as the ingredients are fresh and you don't mess things up, there's no such thing as a bad dish.
Although Tian Zao's current skill level is not high, with Hu Yi's wife, who has a full range of culinary talents, guiding her, the taste is acceptable.
In ordinary households of this era, it is already a rare delicacy.
Since she was his woman, Lin Weidong naturally gave her face and dealt with most of her.
This made Tian Zao very happy. While tidying up, she told Lin Weidong about her experiences that day.
Just when she thought Lin Weidong was about to take action, Lin Weidong suddenly said goodbye.
"Zao'er, you should get some rest. I'm going back to No. 95."
Tian Zao remained silent, only pursing her lips and tugging at Lin Weidong's sleeve.
Making grand pronouncements is one thing, but the reality is quite another. Ever since she realized that Lin Weidong had other women, Tian Zao took the initiative.
Since you've come all this way, why don't you leave without leaving something behind?
Helpless, Lin Weidong could only send a message to Jin Lu, telling him not to go back so early, so as not to affect the performance of the people in the hospital.
……
Meanwhile, in the backyard of the courtyard house, He Yuzhu stood blocking the entrance to the Liu family's house with a fire poker in hand. He exuded a fearless and foolish energy, which frightened the two Liu brothers, Liu Guangqi and Liu Haizhong, who were sent to confront him at the door, so much that they could not speak properly.
"Silly...Silly Zhu! Don't cause trouble! My dad said your dad, He Daqing, is an enemy...enemy agent! A bad element, so...so he has to be arrested!"
"Yes...yes!" Liu Guangtian echoed nervously from the side.
Both brothers had witnessed how fierce Jia Shazhu was when he beat people; even the two of them combined couldn't defeat him alone, so they were naturally terrified. However, they couldn't disobey their father at home.
At this moment, the two brothers stood on the left and right sides, holding onto the door frame, one leg splayed as if they were about to escape.
He Yuzhu ignored them, holding the fire poker with an imposing air, waiting for his father He Daqing to give him a shout.
Inside the room, a simple meal and drinks were still laid out on the square table.
Liu Haizhong's face was full of excitement and agitation. He stood behind He Daqing, using one foot to brace himself against the chair leg, and gripped the hemp rope tightly in his hand.
He Daqing sat in a chair with a hemp rope folded in two, wrapped around his upper body and tied to the back of the chair, the end of the rope being pulled by his bangs behind him.
"Old Liu! Hey Old Liu! We've been neighbors for so many years, how do I look like a spy? Did I offend you somewhere else? Let's talk this over, don't joke about being a spy!"
He Daqing did not struggle; his face remained calm, but his tone was full of helpless concern.
This alone cannot hold him back. He can escape by falling backward and knocking his head over Liu Haizhong's head. At this moment, he is thinking about how to resolve this matter peacefully.
Whether you win or lose, fighting could attract the police. There's one living in this courtyard, and he won't be able to explain himself no matter how hard he tries.
"Huh? Is Old Liu okay? Let's talk this out. You name a price and I'll give you what I think is fair."
"You, a mere enemy agent cooking for the Japanese devils, think you can give me money? Bah! I don't want it! I advise you! You'd better behave yourself and go undergo reform!"
Liu Haizhong looked disdainful. He was about to become a cadre, how could he possibly have any dealings with enemy agents?
Ever since he overheard He Daqing arguing with Xu Fugui the night before last, and learned that He Daqing had cooked for the Japanese and even taken photos of them, he had been excited for a whole day and night!
He invited He Daqing to his house for drinks under the pretext of chatting. Halfway through the drinks, he took out a rope and ambushed He Daqing, tying him up on the first try.
Liu Haizhong couldn't help but feel proud of his intelligence; now was the time to reap the rewards.
As long as He Daqing is sent to the police station, even if he arrests enemy agents, he will be doing it all by himself. Wouldn't it be appropriate to give him a cadre job? Lin Weidong was only caught with the help of two police officers.
He captured He Daqing all by himself, so he'll definitely be a higher-ranking official than Lin Weidong!
