Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

"Yes!" Director Wang nodded. "Old Yi, Old Liu, Old Yan, the three of you are in charge of the hospital, so you must keep a close eye on things and make sure that Jia Zhangshi doesn't have to take painkillers anymore."

"Don't worry, Director Wang, we'll definitely keep a close eye on things," Yi Zhonghai and the other two quickly assured Director Wang.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Director Wang took the two staff members back with him.

As soon as Director Wang and the others left the courtyard, Jia Zhangshi angrily said to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, someone must have reported this today! If no one reported it, how would Director Wang know I took painkillers?"

Hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Yi Zhonghai said irritably, "Sister-in-law, Director Wang is only doing this for your own good. You should quit, which will also lighten Huairu's burden."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia became agitated and glared fiercely at Qin Huairu: "Did you report me? You must have reported me because you thought I spent too much money!"

"Dongxu has only been dead for a few years, and you treat your mother-in-law like this? You'll never feed me again!"

Qin Huairu said aggrievedly, "Mom, after all these years, don't you still believe me? Haven't I worked so hard all these years for this family?"

"Sister Qin, can't you understand what Aunt Jia is saying? She's not satisfied with you!" Xu Damao said gloatingly from the side. "If you ask me, you should just remarry. I'll go find Director Wang tomorrow and ask him to introduce you to a decent bachelor. Maybe you can even have another one next year."

"And Aunt Jia might just find another old man to marry into after she's driven you away!"

Xu Damao's words made everyone present burst into laughter.

Some people, who just wanted to watch the drama unfold, joined in the commotion, suggesting that Qin Huairu should remarry!

Faced with this situation, Jia Zhangshi resorted to her ultimate weapon: "Xu Damao, you heartless bastard, you deserve to be unable to have children!"

"Dongxu, Lao Jia, you two come up here quickly! I've been a widow for over ten years, and now I'm being slandered by Xu Damao!"

Before Qin Huairu could speak, Yi Zhonghai became agitated: "Da Mao, how can you talk like that? Your sister-in-law is at least several decades older than you. Our courtyard is a traditional courtyard house that respects the elderly and cares for the young. You're being incredibly disrespectful."

"Uncle, am I wrong?" Xu Damao wasn't about to tolerate Yi Zhonghai. "Director Wang just said that we can't be blindly filial! Does that mean we can ignore everything else just to be filial?"

"I advised Sister Qin to remarry for her own good. Her mother-in-law is lazy and picky all the time. She's lucky to have met such an honest person like Sister Qin. If she had met a tough one, she would have been beaten eight times a day! I think you guys are just addicted to bullying honest people."

Xiao Shan chimed in from the side, "Brother Mao is right. Sister-in-law should remarry so she won't have to suffer every day at the Jia family! Aunt Jia does nothing at home and is always picking and choosing. She's corrupted the atmosphere in the courtyard."

“Xiaoshan is right. If all the old people in the courtyard follow suit, how will the young people survive?” Seeing Xiaoshan agree with him, Xu Damao became even more enthusiastic. “For some lazy people, they should be made to be self-reliant and experience the hardship of earning money, so that they won’t have nothing better to do than gossip.”

Yi Zhonghai was furious at Xu Damao's words.

So he said he was done with the matter and turned away.

Just as Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were about to leave, Xiao Shan said to Qin Huairu, "Sister-in-law, I think we should send Aunt Jia to the neighborhood office! The old men made some good points, but once Director Wang left, nobody cared!"

"The old man made a promise before, but now he just walks away saying he doesn't care anymore. Does he think he's a child, throwing a tantrum like this?"

“I think we should report this old man's situation to the neighborhood committee! If he doesn't want to do his job, he should step down and let someone who does the work take over. He's just hogging the position without doing anything!”

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui withdrew their feet from the steps they were about to take.

They almost forgot, they had just made that promise to Director Wang.

Qin Huairu gave an awkward smile, unable to respond to Xiao Shan's words.

Liu Haizhong naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to strike at Yi Zhonghai: "Xiaoshan is right. This old man is a grown man, he can't be as willful as a child! Guangtian, go and call this old man out."

"If you ask me, Qin Huairu should go to work as usual, and the three aunties should take turns looking after the house, as long as Jia Zhangshi doesn't buy painkillers."

"Qin Huairu, hide the money in the house well, don't let your mother-in-law find it! Jia Zhangshi has no money to buy painkillers, and no one else can buy them for her. It won't be long before she can quit."

Qin Huairu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Second Uncle, I understand!"

Chapter 207, Xu Damao's Attempt to Tie Up Jia Zhangshi! (Please Subscribe!)

Before Liu Guangtian even reached Yi Zhonghai's door, Yi Zhonghai himself came out of the house.

I was just cornered by Xiao Shan and Xu Damao and didn't want to deal with Jia Zhangshi's matter anymore.

However, after returning to his room and thinking about it, he realized that he really couldn't ignore this matter.

He couldn't get past Director Wang's hurdle.

After all, I made that promise to Director Wang!

Besides, their family is now considered relatives of the Jia family.

If he doesn't take action, people will inevitably gossip.

Having lived like an old man for so many years, Yi Zhonghai has certainly developed a thick skin.

So he stepped forward himself, wanting to take charge of the Jia Zhangshi matter.

At this moment, He Yuzhu and Li Caijuan stood at the door watching quietly, like bystanders.

Because Yi Zhonghai had previously concealed the money and letters sent back by He Daqing, He Yuzhu's relationship with Yi Zhonghai has become strained.

So when He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao and Xiao Shan bullying Yi Zhonghai, he didn't stand up to speak up for him.

When a person stands aside and looks at things with a clear mind, some routines become ridiculous and naive.

He Yuzhu couldn't see Yi Zhonghai clearly before because he valued Yi Zhonghai too much and had a very good relationship with him. In his eyes, Yi Zhonghai was a perfect person.

Looking back now, this is just a pitiful old man who resorts to moral blackmailing others in his pursuit of retirement.

He Yuzhu doesn't rule out providing for Yi Zhonghai's retirement, but these days have made him see many things and many people more clearly.

Yi Zhonghai wanted him to support him in his old age, but instead of exchanging sincerity for sincerity, he used moral blackmail to gain sincerity, which made He Yuzhu somewhat disheartened.

After hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Xu Damao chimed in, "If you ask me, we should tie Aunt Jia up, feed her on a schedule, and not give her any chance to move around. Otherwise, those three aunties might not be able to stop Aunt Jia when she's having an erection; her weight is just not in the same league!"

At this point, He Yuzhu couldn't help but say, "Xu Damao, you've gone a bit too far! Aunt Jia is over fifty years old, and even the neighborhood committee didn't do this during their mandatory detoxification program!"

Xu Damao glanced at He Yuzhu's front door.

Li Caijuan was heavily pregnant, and although it wasn't obvious yet, the whole hospital knew about it.

The son was standing to the side, while the daughter was being held by He Yuzhu.

Xu Damao was so jealous!

He snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I won't lower myself to the level of a fool."

He Yuzhu didn't seem to care that Xu Damao called him an idiot.

Because he has now found a more effective way to strike at Xu Damao!

He Yuzhu patted He Huan's head and said, "Son, call me Dad."

"dad."

"Hey!" He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao smugly and said, "Xu Damao, do you see? This is my son, and this is my daughter. You can be envious all you want! I think the reason why crops can't grow in this field isn't necessarily a problem with the soil. Maybe the seeds are bad?"

Xu Damao's expression changed instantly.

He had heard Xiao Shan say this before; Xiao Shan had even advised him to go to the hospital for a checkup.

However, Xu Damao dared not go, because if he didn't go, he could still blame the woman for the whole thing.

It used to be Lou Xiao'e, now it's Qin Jingru.

If he actually goes there and it turns out he can't have children, then that last bit of hope in his heart will be completely extinguished!

And they also have to endure even more serious gossip and slander from others!

Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu and said stubbornly, "Silly Zhu, I'm not going to argue with you! So what if you have a child? You're not even as carefree as me!"

"I can eat and drink whatever I want every day, and I can even eat out every day. Can you do that?"

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao smugly: "Xu Damao, my son and daughter calling me 'Dad' is so much better than eating out! You have money to eat out, but can you find a real son? If you're so capable, go out on the street and find a son who calls you 'Dad'."

Xu Damao was furious. He glared at He Yuzhu and took Qin Jingru back to the backyard.

After watching Xu Damao leave, Yan Bugui said, "Zhuzi is right. We really can't keep your wife tied up! Although she is currently addicted to painkillers, it's still within a controllable range. As long as we supervise her well, quitting won't be a problem."

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai, who had come back, looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Huairu, there are three aunties watching over things during the day, so it's not a big problem; but at night, it's up to you! We all know you're a filial daughter-in-law, but this time you absolutely cannot give her painkillers just because your mother-in-law begs or pretends to be pitiful, understand?"

Qin Huairu nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, Third Uncle, I know what I'm doing!"

Jia Zhangshi was also afraid that they would really listen to Xu Damao and tie her up, so she quickly chimed in, "Old Yi, Xu Damao will only cause trouble. I can definitely control him!"

Yi Zhonghai stared at Jia Zhangshi for a while, then finally nodded: "Alright, that's settled then! Everyone, you can all go home now!"

The crowd dispersed, and Xiao Shan went home to prepare breakfast.

After the meal was prepared, Xiao Shan took out a bottle of medicinal wine made by Han Li from his backpack in the chat group, intending to have a couple of drinks.

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Xiaoshan, open the door, it's your brother Mao."

Xiao Shan was a little surprised. Why was Xu Damao coming to see him at this time?

Since Xu Damao remarried, he has rarely come to ask me to drink during mealtimes.

I don't know if Qin Jingru is strict or Xu Damao is too busy.

Xiao Shan stood up, opened the door, and let Xu Damao in: "Brother Mao, what brings you here today? Let's grab a drink together?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Xu Damao nodded with a smile. "I happened to bring most of a roast chicken with me, let's have a drink together."

Xiao Shan was speechless at Xu Damao eating such greasy food as roast chicken so early in the morning.

After grabbing a chair and sitting down, Xu Damao looked at the food on the table and said with some admiration, "Xiaoshan, your meals are always so good. I'm really envious!"

Xiao Shan smiled slightly at Xu Damao's praise but said nothing.

He then poured himself a glass of wine and handed it to Xu Damao: "Here, Brother Mao, try this medicinal wine that I finally managed to get!"

Xu Damao picked up his wine glass, examined it carefully, and said, "This taste, this color, it's obviously a good wine!"

After saying that, Xu Damao tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp!

Setting down his glass, Xu Damao said with lingering relish, "Good wine, truly good wine! I think it's even better than the Moutai I drank when I was entertaining my superiors!"

"Haha, if you like it, have a couple more glasses!" Xiao Shan laughed as he picked up his glass and took a sip.

Chapter 208, Jia Zhangshi's Miserable Screams in the Middle of the Night! (Please Subscribe!)

After a few drinks, the atmosphere warmed up, and people started talking.

Xiao Shan asked with some curiosity, "Brother Mao, is there something you need today?"

"Hey, I'm so envious of He Yuzhu, who's always leading his son and holding his daughter!" Xu Damao sighed. "But Qin Jingru's belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet, she doesn't even feel nauseous. I'm really worried!"

"Xiaoshan, do you think Qin Jingru might be like Lou Xiao'e, a hen that can't lay eggs?"

Xiao Shan could easily see that Xu Damao was asking a question he already knew the answer to.

He's starting to doubt his fertility and is seeking comfort here.

So Xiao Shan put down his wine glass: "Brother Mao, having a baby is something you can't rush! Brother Zhuzi's wife only got pregnant almost a year after they got married. You've only been married for a short time, don't scare yourself."

"If you're worried, take Qin Jingru to the hospital for a check-up. Early detection and treatment are key."

Xu Damao silently picked up his wine glass, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

As before, Xu Damao got drunk and passed out in Xiaoshan again.

Xiao Shan took him home and handed him over to Qin Jingru, then strolled around the yard twice.

After digesting his food, Xiao Shan returned home and began checking the online store in the chat group.

Unfortunately, the store didn't refresh with any good items today.

Just then, a notification sounded in the chat group.

"Group member Ren Weiyong uploaded the Five Immortals' Gu Technique to the group share and received 500 points."

"Group member Ren Weiyong uploaded Miao divination techniques to the group's shared folder and received 500 points."

Xiao Shan was stunned for a moment when he saw the cultivation technique that Ren Weiyong had uploaded to the group share.

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Mr. Ren, where did you get these martial arts techniques from?"

Ren Weiyong: "Bandits attacked the neighboring town, and Uncle Jiu and I went to help. I found these two cultivation manuals on the female sorcerer after I drained her of her powers! I didn't expect them to be worth any points; it was an unexpected bonus!"

Upon hearing Ren Weiyong's words, Xiao Shan quickly realized that Ren Weiyong was referring to the band of bandits in "Mr. Spiritual Illusion".

In the movie, after the leading female sorceress was killed by Uncle Nine, she turned into a vengeful ghost.

Now that Ren Weiyong has drained her dry, she probably won't have a chance to become a vengeful ghost.

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Judging from this, the world you're in has quite a lot of potential for development!"

Ren Weiyong: "What potential do they have? They're just a bunch of freaks!"

Zhang Chulan: "Disorder breeds monsters! Mr. Ren, would you like to step out of seclusion and save the world?"
