Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

The more Jia Dongxu thought about it, the uglier his face became, and his tone became increasingly aggressive.

"Mom, this is a serious matter, not something I need money for. Is it appropriate for you to keep making excuses? In the end, isn't it all for our family's sake?"

"Hehe... Um, Mother, let me think about how much is appropriate!" Madam Jia felt guilty and chuckled as she silently calculated.

After the meal, while her son was out using the outhouse, Jia Zhangshi secretly went to the place where she hid the money.

She silently calculated the current prices, and the money she originally intended to give Jia Dongxu seemed to dwindle with each count...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Jia Zhangshi.

Damn it, this isn't right! Liu Haizhong has a grudge against Yi Zhonghai. If he finds out that Yi Zhonghai plans to take on disciples, would he be happy about it?

They might even be eager to compete with Yi Zhonghai for his apprentices!

The key question is how to convince Liu Haizhong that Yi Zhonghai wants to take Dongxu as his apprentice?

Thinking about Yi Zhonghai's positive attitude since her son returned, Jia Zhangshi had a vague plan in mind.

……

In courtyard number 13, Lin Weidong smiled and waved a graduation certificate in front of Tian Zao, trying to tempt her.

Tian Zao was overjoyed and tried to jump high to grab it, but after two attempts she couldn't reach it. Instead, the jumping little white rabbit was attacked by Lin Weidong.

"You...you mustn't bully me!"

"Hey Zao'er, do you have any conscience? I ran around getting your documents processed, and instead of thanking me, you don't even give me this little bit of benefit?"

As soon as Lin Weidong finished speaking, Tian Zao, knowing she was in the wrong, grabbed his hand and placed it on her body.

Her lips murmured, her voice barely audible.

"Then go ahead and play..."

……

"Stop playing... I can't take it anymore! I... I request a truce!"

In bed at night, Tian Zao couldn't help but protest, wrapping herself up in the blankets and refusing to come out.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: When is the weekend?! Why isn't Sister Bai Ling here to save me yet...?

"Is it really necessary, jujube? If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Am I going to eat you?"

Lin Weidong was speechless. He lit a cigarette and got off the bed to clean up the mess.

A questioning voice, uttered by Tian Zao, rang out from under the covers.

"Tell me the truth...did you take your medication again before you came back?"

"Dealing with you is completely unnecessary, okay? You should be grateful for this extraordinary talent. You'll know what's good when you're thirty or forty... By then, even if you want to, I'll have to think about it."

"I wouldn't even think about it!" Tian Zao pouted, disbelieving.

This kind of thing isn't addictive, and besides, she does it every day without getting addicted!

Um... something seems off.

Counting the days, Tian Zao suddenly realized that even with the addition of Sister Bai Ling to the household, Lin Weidong still spent just as much time with her as before.

Thinking about it this way, a sweet and tender feeling welled up in my heart.

She peeked out from under the covers, thinking of making amends to Lin Weidong, and asked.

"If you're feeling unwell... I'll help you in another way."

"Oh? So eager today? There's no smoke without fire, Zao'er! What are you thinking now? Is your elementary school diploma not enough, and you want a university degree instead?"

"I can still go to university?" Upon hearing this, Tian Zao suddenly raised her voice and sat up in surprise.

"If you like it and want to go, of course you can." Lin Weidong calculated the days in his mind. There were still more than ten years until the wind rose, enough time for Tian Zao to finish college.

"Wei Dong, come up here, I'm still... okay!" Tian Zao's face was full of joy, and she couldn't help but wave to Lin Wei Dong.

He had never even imagined that he could go to school before, but now Lin Weidong was saying that he could go to university!

Only those who have truly immersed themselves in learning know how special it feels to slowly process knowledge in their minds.

Learning is an endless process; the more you learn, the more curious you become. What interesting things are hidden behind all that countless pieces of knowledge?

Tian Zao's attitude towards learning has long since moved beyond the stage of comparing herself to Lin Weidong and Bai Ling.

Even now, after leaving school and graduating from literacy classes, she never forgets to read and study at home.

The university was the highest institution of learning in her mind, and its allure to her was immense.

From a struggling alleyway dweller to a student with no worries about food and clothing and the opportunity to pursue spiritual wealth, all of this was brought to her by Lin Weidong.

At this moment, Tian Zao felt an overwhelming surge of emotions, wishing she could merge herself into Lin Weidong's body.

The price of madness is painful.

But sometimes, madness and pain can be more helpful in releasing emotions.

The next morning, when Lin Weidong left.

Tian Zao's brows were slightly furrowed on her sleeping face, but a smile lingered at the corners of her mouth, making her look somewhat eerie.

Lin Weidong could only tell Hu Yi's wife to take good care of her. Fortunately, she had the foundation laid by the beauty pills, so it wasn't a big deal.

However, he will probably lose his fascination with sex in the short term...

Immersed in his sage-like state, Lin Weidong thought it over and over and concluded that the blame should fall on Yi Zhonghai!

It was all because of this bastard that I got angry, which is why I acted recklessly with Tian Zao without considering the consequences.

Before pushing his bicycle away from the courtyard, Lin Weidong glanced at the Yi family.

Good heavens, the stove isn't even smoking, which proves that Yi Zhonghai hasn't made a move yet!

This is outrageous! Yi Zhonghai is actually enjoying himself now that he's out of work? Is there no justice in this world?

In this day and age, who among decent people doesn't work hard from dawn till dusk?

Even I have to go to work, and you dare to lie down just because you're a deaf old man with a pittance?

Lin Weidong was very unhappy and decided to send Yi Zhonghai back to the sack-carrying team as soon as possible!

Before Lin Weidong's revenge, what befell Yi Zhonghai was Jia Zhangshi's scheming.

Yi Zhonghai has indeed had a wonderful rest these past two days.

It's fun to give up temporarily, and it's even more fun to keep giving up.

But when he came back after going out to relieve himself, looking refreshed, his face was incredibly gloomy.

Rumors about him are circulating again in the courtyard, saying that he couldn't have a son, so he set his sights on other people's sons!

That's damn accurate!

For a moment, Yi Zhonghai was speechless.

When Gao Cuilan returned after delivering lunch to the deaf old lady, she also had a furrowed brow.

"Old Yi...who's messing with us now? This is never going to end!"

Yi Zhonghai was also pondering, and the first person he thought of was Lin Weidong.

But then he thought, Lin Weidong isn't a god, how could he know about my scheme? He didn't even know that he was going to take Jia Dongxu as his apprentice.

Besides the Jia family, Yan Bugui and Liu Erquan were the only people who knew about this; these were the only people present that day.

When Jia Zhangshi saw him, she called Dongxu "Master" every day, so it couldn't be her and her son.

Of the remaining two, Liu Erquan is the most suspicious!

This guy threatened me when he went in, could it be that he's the one who came out and is coming to get revenge?

Yi Zhonghai became wary and, after a quick lunch, went to the nearby police station to verify his suspicions.

……

"Tell Xiao Wu... that Liu Erquan was taken away and detained by the branch bureau for injuring someone in a fight at the labor camp!"

At the police station, Chen Liang remembered what Lin Weidong had told him long ago, and made up a reason to have his apprentice Jin Lu find someone to deal with Yi Zhonghai.

While searching for the missing person, Jin Lu also relayed information about Yi Zhonghai's current situation.

After hearing this, Lin Weidong silently instructed the clones to proceed according to the plan.
