Siheyuan: I just like to stir up trouble

"Old Yi, is this true? How could you do such a wicked thing? Sha Zhu and the others almost starved to death, and you didn't even take out the money?" Yan Bugui asked in disbelief.

"How can they starve to death with me here? Shouldn't they spend the money wisely? I am cultivating their style of hard work and simplicity. I have saved the money and will only take it out when something happens. You said I only make 99 yuan a month, so why would I covet these fifty yuan?" Yi Zhonghai forcibly defended himself.

However, everyone present, including Sha Zhu, looked at him with complicated expressions. They knew that Yi Zhonghai was not greedy for the fifty yuan. As for what he was greedy for, it was now very obvious.

As the saying goes, it is better to help someone in need than to add icing on the cake. When Sha Zhu and his sister were almost starving to death, Yi Zhonghai gave them a meal. Wasn't it just to win their hearts and make Sha Zhu grateful to him so that he could provide for him in his old age?

"Do you believe this explanation? And, Yi Zhonghai, let me ask you, did you also swallow the five dollars I sent to Yu Shui every month?"

"Don't deny it. I can go to the post office to get the receipt, and then the situation will be even more embarrassing!"

He Daqing first cursed with disdain, and then continued to ask questions.

"How could I not admit it? I actually saved that money to prepare for Yu Shui's dowry. When she gets married, I will give it all to her. Zhuzi, as a brother, is careless and may not prepare a dowry for her, so I, as a master, will help her. Don't think too much!"

Yi Zhonghai has given up hope. No matter what you say, I am doing this for your own good and considering your interests. Maybe my approach is inappropriate, but my starting point is good!

Lin Fan and Fang Meng were listening to Yi Zhonghai's excuses from behind the crowd and couldn't help but look at each other.

Yi Zhonghai is truly a talented person. He has fully demonstrated his shameless spirit and is truly a model of a hypocrite.

Chapter 224 Yi Zhonghai's Sophistry

"Zhu Zi, you have to believe me. Don't you know how I have treated you over the years?"

Yi Zhonghai felt a little ashamed when he saw that everyone present was looking at him with contempt.

But the most important thing now is to stabilize Sha Zhu. After so many years, we finally fooled Sha Zhu. We can't let it go to waste.

"Uncle, how could you do such a thing? I trusted you so much, and you kept it from me so hard!"

Sha Zhu found it hard to accept the fact that he and his sister almost starved to death after He Daqing left.

They originally thought that He Daqing was heartless and had taken away all the money and notes, but they didn't expect that He Daqing actually left them fifty yuan and grain and oil notes for safekeeping with Yi Zhonghai. If Yi Zhonghai had given him the money, he and his sister would not have lived such a miserable life.

"I can testify to this. Yi Zhonghai is very sincere to Sha Zhu. Every time Sha Zhu gets into trouble, he always sides with him. There are two elderly people in our hospital who are disrespectful. One is the deaf old lady who has been imprisoned, and the other is Yi Zhonghai in front of us!"

"As for the purpose, I believe everyone can see it. Isn't it just to trick Sha Zhu into giving him old age care? What a sinister intention!"

Xu Damao stood up and started to add insult to injury for Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai had always sided with Sha Zhu, and Xu Damao had been holding a grudge against him for a long time.

"Xu Damao, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

Yi Zhonghai stared at Xu Damao with resentment. He had figured out that He Daqing was the one Xu Damao had found. He must have been anxious because Sha Zhu was going to become his godparent, so he deliberately went to Baoding to bring He Daqing back to stop the recognition.

Yi Zhonghai felt that Xu Damao was really a troublemaker, and he would not feel at ease until he had turned the compound into a mess.

"No one would think I'm dumb if I don't speak, but I feel uncomfortable all over. I can't help scratching my ears and cheeks when I stand beside and listen. So I have to speak, and I have to speak loudly. Yi Zhonghai, do you still think you are the boss of the courtyard? You haven't been for a long time. Don't think you are so powerful. What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?" Xu Damao said emotionally.

"Brother Lin Fan, how do we resolve today's incident? I feel like it's getting more and more serious and we're about to start a fight?" Fang Meng asked in a low voice.

"Just fight if you want, it has nothing to do with us!"

Lin Fan enjoys watching the fun and doesn't mind making trouble. If Yi Zhonghai has the guts, he will fight with He Daqing today and beat his head into a dog's head!

But he probably couldn't fight, after all, Yi Zhonghai's hand was broken and he couldn't give it back.

"Yi Zhonghai, you always have so many excuses. Stop talking nonsense and give me the money you swallowed. Don't force me to call the police to arrest you!"

"First of all, let me make it clear that I didn't embezzle the money. I was just holding it for myself. I will return it to Zhu and Yu Shui when they need it. Don't get me wrong. It's hard to be a good person these days. Since you are suspicious, then Shuhua, go back and get the money. It's in the envelope at the bottom of the cabinet. I will return it to him."

Yi Zhonghai still insisted that he did not embezzle the money, but just wanted to help save it and return it to Sha Zhu and his sister later.

Everyone knew why he did that, so no one said anything more. Only Sha Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai with a complicated expression.

He never dreamed that Yi Zhonghai was such a person. It completely refreshed his three views.

When the old lady returned to the yard with the money, Sha Zhu was still at a loss. He didn't know what to do.

"Come on, go home. Why are you still standing there like an idiot? You are such a fool. You got fooled by someone and still accepted someone as your godfather. Why did I give birth to a thing like you?"

He Daqing looked at Sha Zhu with disappointment, then went home on his own.

Sha Zhu stood there for a while before he sighed and slowly moved forward to go home.

"Zhuzi, you..."

Yi Zhonghai seemed to be hesitant to speak. He wanted to persuade Sha Zhu, but didn't know where to start. He had already made all the excuses he could. As for whether others believed it or not, that was up to them. Yi Zhonghai only cared about what Sha Zhu thought.

Sha Zhu had no intention of speaking. He just waved his hand, signaling Yi Zhonghai to stop talking, and then Sha Zhu turned around and went home.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu's back, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he knew in his heart that this time Sha Zhu and he were drifting apart, and the matter of adopting him as godparents would end up in nothing.

Yi Zhonghai followed the old lady back home dejectedly, and the rest of the people in the courtyard were in an uproar.

"It's really exciting. I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to be so good at judging people. He even withheld the money He Daqing sent back. He's not short of money!"

"He doesn't lack money, but he lacks people to support him in his old age. Isn't it only when Shazhu's life is not good that he can help him in his time of need?"

"That's good now. Once He Daqing comes back, the truth will be out. I guess the family reunion party for Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai won't be able to go on!"

Yan Bugui glanced at Xu Damao as he spoke. He didn't care what kind of person Yi Zhonghai was as long as he could enjoy the benefits. Now the long-awaited banquet was ruined, and it was all Xu Damao's fault.

"Why are you looking at me? Are you depressed because the family recognition banquet is over? Don't worry, He Daqing has been away for so many years and just came back. It can be considered a reunion. Go and tell him to set up a few tables to celebrate. I guess he won't refuse!"

Xu Damao noticed that Yan Bugui was staring at him. Knowing Yan Bugui's character well, he of course knew why this was happening and immediately gave Yan Bugui some advice.

"Why should I go and not you?"

Yan Bugui thought that this made sense, but asking him to go was not in line with his status as the master of the Siheyuan courtyard!

He is the only uncle in the courtyard now, and he has to maintain his dignity. It is so embarrassing to ask others to treat him as soon as he opens his mouth.

"I'm not going because I don't care. It's just a banquet, and I've eaten a lot. But Third Uncle, your family must have been looking forward to it for a long time, right?"

Xu Damao smiled. He was not short of money. Although he didn't know whether Yan Bugui's family was short of money or not, he knew that the third uncle was the kind of person who would feel uncomfortable if he didn't take advantage of others, so he provoked Yan Bugui to do this.

"How about you go, Lin Fan?"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes around and looked around the crowd, and finally set his sights on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was watching all this with great interest, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to eat the melon. Yan Bugui actually asked him to ask He Daqing to treat him, which really surprised him.

"Give me a reason why I should go to He Daqing and ask him to treat me to a meal?"

"You don't know? That's right. When He Daqing was here, you hadn't moved in yet. At that time, your uncle Lin Dongliang lived here. He had a good relationship with He Daqing. He Daqing just came back and didn't know that your uncle had passed away. Otherwise, he would definitely go to your house to burn incense for your uncle. You are considered a descendant of an old friend, so He Daqing will definitely take care of you. You are so effective!"

Chapter 225 He Yushui Returns to the Courtyard

"What you said is wrong. Regardless of whether my words will work for He Daqing, I don't need this banquet. Do you think Xu Damao doesn't need money? Fang Meng and I both work, and our salaries are far from enough to spend!"

Lin Fan directly used his ultimate skill to attract hatred. Come on, those who hate the rich, all contribute your emotional points to me so that I can make a fortune.

Then Lin Fan checked the ever-increasing emotion value in the system and couldn't help but smile.

When everyone in the courtyard saw Lin Fan laughing, they thought he was making fun of them, a bunch of poor people. They couldn't help but feel even more resentful and contributed a large amount of emotion points.

"You should look for Xu Damao about this. If he hadn't found He Daqing, this family reunion banquet wouldn't have been cancelled. So now it's not a question of whether he needs the banquet or not, but that he disrupted the banquet that you were supposed to attend. You have to ask him for compensation!"

After thinking about it, Lin Fan felt that he should not let Xu Damao be too proud, so he put the blame on him again.

Everyone reacted and said, "Yes, you don't need the meal, but we do. You messed things up, so you should give us an explanation."

Lin Fan, you are cheating me. I have given my wife to you, how can you still cheat me?

Xu Damao couldn't help but look at Lin Fan with resentment, which made Lin Fan feel a little confused.

It was your fault in the first place, so shouldn't you take the consequences for it? Why are you looking at me?

Fang Meng and Lou Xiao'e both laughed. Lin Fan's trick of diverting trouble away was a good one.

"Everyone, listen to me. Since everyone thinks I am wrong, then I, Xu Damao, will take the responsibility. Tomorrow I will talk to He Daqing and ask him to hold a banquet. What do you think?"

Xu Damao was surrounded by the crowd and had no choice but to make a promise, and only then was he let go.

"Okay, the problem is solved, and it's getting late, let's go!"

After getting Xu Damao's promise, Yan Bugui was satisfied and signaled everyone to disperse.

The people gathered in the middle courtyard dispersed and went back to sleep.

Lin Fan took Fang Meng back home and entered his personal space, Peach Blossom Land.

Fang Meng ran towards the villa. After dinner, she was caught by Lin Fan to practice the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine and hand in her homework. She was so tired that she fell asleep after handing in the homework. If He Daqing hadn't come back and woke everyone up, she would probably have slept until tomorrow morning.

After watching the excitement, she became energetic again and remembered that she had not watched Gun Gun yet.

"GunGun, GunGun, where are you?" Fang Meng entered the bamboo forest behind the manor and called out to GunGun.

Unfortunately, there was no movement around, so Fang Meng looked at Lin Fan suspiciously and asked, "Brother Lin Fan, where did you put Gun Gun?"

"Go away!"

Lin Fan did not answer, but shouted casually, and then saw a little girl with black and white stripes running out from the depths of the bamboo forest, hugging Lin Fan's thigh and climbing up.

"It's not fair. Why does it have no response when I call GunGun, but comes running over when you call GunGun?" Fang Meng said dissatisfiedly while touching GunGun's head.

"Well, back when I was Chi You, Gun Gun was my war beast. It lived with me day and night, and we fought together in many battles. We had a very deep relationship, so it's okay for it to be close to me, right?"

Lin Fan spoke nonsense without thinking.

"Is this true? Was Brother Lin Fan Chi You in his previous life? And was Gun Gun an iron-eating beast in his previous life?" Fang Meng looked at Lin Fan with half belief and half doubt.

"Really? It reincarnated and came back to me again. It can't let go of the friendship we had back then!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but grin as he spoke, he really couldn't make up any more stories.

"You lied to me, do you think I'm a fool?"

Fang Meng was a little upset and punched Lin Fan in the chest with her little fist.

But after Lin Fan put GunGun into her arms, she was no longer angry and started laughing happily while hugging GunGun.

"Okay, GunGun, you've seen it, touched it, and hugged it. Can you go to sleep now?" Lin Fan urged Fang Menglai.

"What do you want to do?" Fang Meng looked at Lin Fan warily.

"Continue to practice the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine. Practicing martial arts is like rowing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. We have to hurry up!" Lin Fan said confidently.

"It's weird to believe you!"

Fang Meng put GunGun on the ground, then turned around and ran away, otherwise the big bad wolf would eat the little white rabbit.

Unfortunately, there was no way she could outrun Lin Fan and she was soon caught. She was skinned like a sheep and forced to practice the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine.
