Siheyuan: I just like to stir up trouble

Lin Fan and Fang Meng rode their bikes towards the courtyard. Everywhere they passed was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. Joyful laughter could be heard from every household. The atmosphere of the New Year was in the air, which was much more festive than the New Year celebrations in later generations.

"Yeah, after all, today is New Year's Eve, so of course everyone should be happy. Meng'er, shall I take you back to set off the fireworks?"

Lin Fan smiled and nodded to Fang Meng, then suggested with a smile.

"Okay, but I don't know if Xiao'e is here. It would be great if she could be released together!"

"It's okay, let's set off fireworks in the courtyard first, and then we can set them off in the small world. I have plenty of fireworks!"

Fang Meng nodded when he heard this, and the two of them quickened their pace towards the courtyard.

"Lin Fan, you're back! Did my father-in-law prepare any food for us?"

Yan Bugui, his son was in the detention center on New Year's Eve, but he still had the energy to watch the fun at the gate of the compound. He is really careless.

"That must be there. There are more than a dozen dishes, and even the table can hardly be stacked. There is so much to eat!"

Lin Fan replied with a smile.

Yan Bugui felt a little envious when he heard this. Lin Fan's father-in-law, mother-in-law and Lin Fan's Fang Meng, there were only four people in the two families, but they actually cooked more than a dozen dishes.

And what about their family? Although Yan Jiecheng was not at home, the old couple plus their other two sons, a daughter and daughter-in-law Yu Li, a total of six people, only had four dishes and one soup. It was really incomparable.

"Your family is really rich. Both of you have working parents. You are an eighth-level fitter, and your father-in-law is not much worse. A seventh-level fitter is also a high income. Unlike me, as a teacher, I have to budget my living expenses carefully every day!"

"Third Uncle, you have been a teacher for so many years, your salary should not be too low. Plus, your family is so frugal. I dare say that there are only a few families in this courtyard who have more savings than you. So it's not that your family is poor, you just have lived through too many hard times and are used to being thrifty."

Lin Fan shook his head and exposed Yan Bugui. The old guy pretended to be poor every day. If he had not watched the TV drama, he would have been deceived by Yan Bugui.

The Yan family usually lives a frugal life, but in the original drama, Yan Bugui can afford to buy a TV and even lend money to Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng to open a restaurant. How can he be a poor person? He has always been hiding his wealth and dare not show it off.

Chapter 372: "Filial Piety"

"Hey, hey, hey, Lin Fan, don't dare say anything nonsense!"

Yan Bugui interrupted Lin Fan with a guilty conscience. He was usually very stingy and pretended to be a poor man. He could still collect tolls at the door every day and charge some fees for writing couplets during the New Year. The neighbors would not care about him. But if the neighbors knew that his family had always had money but was just reluctant to spend it, what would happen?

"Okay, I'm going to set off the fireworks with my wife, you just stay here and watch the fun!"

Lin Fan was too lazy to expose him, so he took Fang Meng back to move the fireworks.

"Brother Lin Fan, go out and set off the fireworks, take me with you!"

Just when Lin Fan and another person were holding the fireworks and preparing to set them off outside in the yard, He Yushui came over.

"Okay, I have a box of fireworks in my room, you can move them over here too!"

Lin Fan nodded and then used her as a tool.

"Okay!"

He Yushui didn't care. She ran into Lin Fan's house happily and followed him out with fireworks in her arms.

When Banggeng and Xiaodang saw so many fireworks in Lin Fan’s house, they followed over to take a look.

"Meng'er, can you light the fire?"

Lin Fan and the other two arrived outside the courtyard. Lin Fan asked Fang Meng to light the fireworks, but Lin Fan's fireworks were a bit big, and Fang Meng was still a little scared. Also, there was a cold wind blowing at night, and it was not easy to light the fuse with matches. So Fang Meng kept repeating the actions of lighting the fireworks, running away, extinguishing the fire, and continuing to light the fireworks, which made Lin Fan very happy.

"Here, take this!"

Then Lin Fan lit a stick of incense and handed it to Fang Meng, and Fang Meng successfully lit the fireworks.

"Chirp...ba!"

The fireworks shot up into the sky and soon lit up the night sky. The scattered fireworks hung in the sky like the Milky Way, attracting countless people to watch.

"Uncle Lin, your fireworks are so beautiful. I love them so much!"

Xiaodang came up to Lin Fan and said cutely.

"Really? But take a closer look at how beautiful it is."

"If you look good, it's the best. Uncle Lin's fireworks are the best!"

"Okay, then Uncle Lin will take you to personally set off the most beautiful fireworks, Yushui, you can come too!"

"Really? Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

"Brother Lin Fan, is there still a share for me? Wait, I'm coming!"

Then Lin Fan carried Xiaodang and Yu Shui to the fireworks, lit the fuse, and ran away quickly.

Xiaodang and Yushui cheered and were very happy watching the fireworks they lit with their own hands rise into the sky and explode to form beautiful patterns.

"Lin Fan is such a spendthrift. How much does this box of fireworks cost? He set off so many in the blink of an eye. With this money, why don't you use it to help the neighbors or buy some meat for my family?"

"He Yushui is such a fool. His own brother Shazhu is still in the detention center, but he is still setting off fireworks. What a heartless person!"

"Xiao Dang, this money-loser, is so close to that Lin Fan. Doesn't he know that he has a grudge against our Jia family?"

Jia Zhang in the crowd kept mumbling. In her opinion, what Lin Fan was setting off were fireworks? That was money! So the more she watched, the more unhappy she became.

"Oh!"

"Ouch!"

"Who kicked me? Do you think I'm easy to mess with? Stand up to me or I'll beat you up!"

Jia Zhang was suddenly kicked to the ground. She screamed and started cursing.

"Can't you just shut up? Why are you still talking nonsense on New Year's Eve? Can't you ever stop? If you don't like it, go back to sleep and stop annoying me here!"

Qin Huairu came out and spoke to Jia Zhang with a cold expression.

The interaction between Lin Fan and Xiaodang moved Qin Huairu to tears. She was still imagining how great it would be if Xiaodang was Lin Fan's child. But Jia Zhang ruined the atmosphere at this time, which was really infuriating. Her uncle could tolerate it, but her aunt couldn't?

"Qin Huairu, you..."

Jia Zhang's face turned black and she wanted to throw a tantrum. Although Qin Huairu had become more powerful, she, Jia Zhang, could not be bullied. It was impossible for her to swallow her anger when being bullied. Today was New Year's Eve. If she was controlled by Qin Huairu in front of so many neighbors, how would she live in the future?

"Oh!"

Qin Huairu was a ruthless person. In order to prevent Jia Zhang from throwing a tantrum and making a lot of noise, which would affect the atmosphere of the New Year, she simply grabbed her head and made close contact with the pillar at the door, knocking her head so hard that stars appeared.

"Qin..."

"Bang bang bang!"

But Jia Zhang seemed to have practiced the Iron Head Kung Fu. She was just dizzy but did not faint. She was even ready to scold Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu quickly grabbed her head and hit her three times in a row. This time, Jia Zhang finally couldn't stand the dizziness and fainted.

"hiss!"

The neighbors of the courtyard also saw this brutal scene. Although no one spoke well of Jia Zhang, they couldn't help but gasp.

Qin Huairu has changed so much, from being hardworking and submissive when she first entered the Jia family, to being cold and aggressive now. However, it is not her fault for all this. If anyone should be blamed, it should be Jia Zhang's fault for being too bullying and asking for too much.

All I can say is don't push an honest person into a corner. If you do push an honest person into a corner, the consequences will be something you won't be able to bear.

Then they stopped paying attention to the unconscious Jia Zhang and turned around to continue admiring Lin Fan's fireworks.

I just don’t know where Lin Fan bought the fireworks from. They are much more beautiful than ordinary fireworks. Although they can’t afford them, at least they can enjoy the sight.

After a while, the fireworks were over and Lin Fan took Fang Meng home.

"Mom, Uncle Lin and Xiao Dang set off fireworks just now. Did you see it?"

When Xiaodang was about to go home, he saw Qin Huairu standing beside him and immediately ran over to share her joy.

"Mom saw it, the fireworks are so beautiful!"

Qin Huairu touched Xiaodang's head and then said with a smile.

"Hey, mom, why is grandma lying on the ground? The ground is dirty and cold!"

Xiaodang smiled happily, and then noticed Jia Zhang who was unconscious nearby.

"Your grandma feels cool like this, so don't bother with her. Let's go home. Huaihua is still at home!"

Qin Huairu took Xiaodang's hand and went home, leaving Jia Zhang alone lying on the ground.

Everyone in the courtyard looked at each other for a while, and then dispersed in a hurry.

Are you kidding? Even Jia Zhang's daughter-in-law Qin Huairu doesn't care about her, so what is there for them to care about?

Yan Bugui even took advantage of no one's attention and secretly spat on Jia Zhang's face.

This old hag actually dared to ruin his son Yan Jiecheng's reputation. She deserved to die. He was the happiest person to see Jia Zhang being beaten. He even wanted to applaud and cheer for Qin Huairu.

"Grandma, grandma, wake up!"

The stick came from nowhere and ran over to wake up Jia Zhang.

It took Jia Zhang a while to remember what had happened after she woke up. She wanted to lose her temper, but was afraid of being beaten, so she was very conflicted for a moment.

"My dear grandson is the best. He knows how to care for grandma. It's worth grandma's love for you!"

"Really? Then grandma, give me some money. I want to buy a whip!"

Chapter 373 Qin Huairu Suppresses Jia Zhang

"What did you say? I can't hear you!"

When she heard that someone was asking for money, Jia Zhang's face immediately darkened, and then she pretended not to hear it.

Banggeng was very angry when he saw that Jia Zhang was pretending to be deaf and dumb, but he couldn't get angry, otherwise there would be no chance of getting the money.

"Grandma, I said I need money to buy a whip, give me money!"

"Bang Geng, why are you just moving your mouth but not making any sound? Are you mute?"

Jia Zhang had a nervous expression on her face, as if she was really worried about her grandson.

Bang Geng kind of wants to slap Jia Zhang to death. You said I was dumb, but I think you are fucking deaf!

Banggeng knew that Jia Zhang was pretending to be deaf and dumb, and Jia Zhang knew that Banggeng knew that she was pretending to be deaf and dumb. Both of them knew the truth but still kept acting.

However, no matter how hard Banggeng tried, Jia Zhangshi was still pretending. Banggeng knew that there was no hope for his little whip if this continued, so he pretended to be disappointed and said.

"Forget it, grandma, let's go home!"

"Okay, give grandma a hand!"
