Yan Bugui is a gatekeeper, and there are rules for that.

It is not a good idea to close the door too early, as that would make people in the hospital dissatisfied and cause public anger.

It’s not good to be too late either, staying up late also has a cost.

Normally, he would close the door at nine o'clock and put the key on the windowsill.

If someone in the yard wanted to go out, he would go to his window sill to get the key and open the door.

If people outside the courtyard want to come in, they need to pay a toll. This is the money he makes.

Of course, he would not wait at the door forever. After all, there was little nightlife these days, and most people would go home to sleep before nine o'clock.

In the courtyard, those who came back after nine o'clock were basically the Xu family and the He Yuzhu family.

Xu Fugui and his son often go out to fool around, while He Yuzhu occasionally has to work overtime.

The Xu family would send some gifts to Yan Bugui every now and then, as a way of paying him a toll.

He Yuzhu would occasionally give it to him, but most of the time, he would walk on the fence to avoid being controlled by Yan Bugui.

After Yan Bugui received the money from Yi Zhonghai, he closed the door and went home to sleep. He only got up when Jia Dongxu knocked on the door.

Yi Zhonghai returned home and went to bed. In his dream, the figures of Qin Huairu and Guixiang kept turning around in his mind.

It was three o'clock in the morning when Qin Huairu's arm became numb and she woke up.

The first thing she did when she woke up was to go to the bed to see Jia Dongxu.

When she found that Jia Dongxu had not returned yet, she panicked and made a noise.

Jia Zhang was awakened, and when she saw that it was Qin Huairu, she scolded, "You bitch, can't you be more careful when going to the toilet?"

Qin Huairu quickly explained: "Mom, I didn't go to the bathroom, it was Dongxu, who hasn't come back yet."

People who often summon spirits are most afraid of things like this.

Jia Zhang also panicked, and she used cursing Qin Huairu to ease her inner anxiety.

Qin Huairu was unhappy, but she didn't dare to refute, so she said, "I'll go find the old man."

Jia Zhang didn't stop her and let her go find Yi Zhonghai.

The bang bang bang knocking on the door woke up Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady in Wu Tiezhu's room.

"Tiezhu, your uncle is a good man. Your uncle and I will never harm you. As long as you listen to grandma, you will definitely marry a filial daughter-in-law."

Wu Tiezhu's eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had been staying up late.

He yawned while mechanically responding to the deaf old lady.

As for his heart, of course he didn't take the deaf old lady's words to heart.

No matter how beautifully the deaf old lady speaks, it cannot compare to Guixiang, a living person.

The virtue of filial piety should take a back seat to beauty.

The deaf old lady had no idea what Wu Tiezhu was thinking, but she was confident that she had fooled Wu Tiezhu.

There is a saying that goes, strike while the iron is hot.

Qin Huairu's knock on the door drove away her sleepiness, giving her the opportunity to continue fooling Wu Tiezhu.

"Tiezhu, you are my good grandson, I won't lie to you. Your uncle is so kind to you, he won't harm you.

You must listen to him, otherwise grandma won’t let you go…”

Yi Zhonghai simply put on some clothes and opened the door: "Huai Ru, it's already this late, why are you knocking on the door?"

Qin Huairu said anxiously: "Uncle, Dongxu hasn't come back yet?"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned, and then a little flustered. Jia Dongxu was his old man, and he would always tie him to his belt and take him with him everywhere.

Arranging him to follow Guixiang this time was a last resort. We couldn't arrange Wu Tiezhu to follow her. That would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

"Huai Ru, don't worry. Maybe Old Yan didn't hear Dong Xu knocking on the door. Let's go to the door first."

The two of them hurriedly ran to Yan Bugui's window, took the key, opened the door, and went to look for Jia Dongxu.

Of course it is impossible to find.

At this time, Jia Dongxu was sleeping soundly while hugging the toilet.

This guy wanted to frame He Yuzhu, so he said He Yuzhu was rich. He also said He Yuzhu was an apprentice at Emei Hotel. Those people were all mixed up in the underworld, how could they not know what the status of an apprentice was.

They knew more than Jia Dongxu how much an apprentice could earn.

They thought Jia Dongxu was playing tricks on them, so they taught him a lesson.

Jia Dongxu said that He Yuzhu's money was given to him by his master, and that He Yuzhu's master gave He Yuzhu hundreds of thousands of yuan every month.

These words made those people laugh. How could a master spend his own salary on his apprentice, and give hundreds of thousands every month?

They thought Jia Dongxu was not telling the truth, so they gave him a severe lesson.

It just so happened that all the people from the Public Security Bureau were dealing with a shooting case, and the police station was short-staffed, so no one responded to this.

Jia Dongxu was beaten for more than an hour before he learned his lesson and begged for mercy from the bosses.

When those people saw that they had shown enough strength, they returned to bed and went to sleep. Before going to bed, they tied Jia Dongxu next to the toilet.

"Bang, bang, Old Yan."

Yi Zhonghai returned to the yard and knocked on Yan Bugui's door.

The little girl Yan Jiedi was frightened by the sound of knocking on the door and started crying loudly.

Yan Bugui opened the door angrily: "Lao Yi, are you mentally ill? Why are you knocking on my door at three in the morning?"

Yi Zhonghai was worried about Jia Dongxu and didn't care about Yan Bugui's feelings at all.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the retirement plan formulated by the deaf old lady, which includes the retirement plan for Yan Bugui.

Since Jia Dongxu will take care of Yan Bugui in his old age in the future, it is only natural for Yan Bugui to take care of the Jia family now.

"Dongxu hasn't come back, aren't you worried?"

Yan Bugui was stunned, then he remembered the money he had collected, and said, "It's his business whether he comes back or not, but don't expect me to return the money."

Qin Huairu was worried that the quarrel would affect the search for Jia Dongxu, so she quickly said, "Uncle, we didn't talk about returning the money. We just want you to go find Dongxu together."

Yan Bugui's eyes rolled around, obviously trying to figure out how much money to ask.

Yi Zhonghai guessed what Yan Bugui was thinking and became very unhappy.

"Old Yan, don't forget that you are the liaison officer of the courtyard. If the people in the courtyard are missing and the people in the street office know about it, we will not be able to get the civilized courtyard this year."

Three old men went to a meeting at the street office and learned about the importance of a civilized courtyard house.

Yan Bugui couldn't sit still when he thought of the rewards: "Lao Yi, do you know where Dongxu went? Is he drinking with his friends?"

Qin Huairu said: "Uncle, Dongxu is following..."

Before he could finish his words, Yi Zhonghai stopped him. He must not let anyone else know that he was following Guixiang.

Once people find out, he will lose face.

"Huai Ru, do you know who Dong Xu was drinking with?"

Qin Huairu was not stupid. He realized that he couldn't tell anyone about following Guixiang, so he quickly changed the subject: "With Zong Qingpeng, and it seemed like there was someone else. I don't remember clearly."

Yan Bugui always felt that the two were not telling the truth, but he did not expose them. The Yan family motto was to never do anything that would not benefit them.

"Then what are you waiting for? Grab your flashlights and go to Zong Qingpeng's house."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't tell the truth, so he said, "There is strength in numbers. Call the people in the hospital and let's go find Dongxu together."

Yan Bugui looked up at the stars in the sky, then lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

It was around three in the morning when I went to wake up the people in the yard.

Doesn't this offend people?
He doesn't want to do it.

Yi Zhonghai was immediately dissatisfied when he saw Yan Bugui like this. He had expressed his ideas, but no one listened to him.

He just couldn't do anything about Yan Bugui.

No matter what, Yan Bugui is the third uncle in the courtyard and he is not someone that he can easily control.

At this critical moment, he did not dare to offend Yan Bugui.

The first victim that Yi Zhonghai thought of was He Yuzhu. When he turned around to look for He Yuzhu, he heard a noise coming from Wu Tiezhu's room.

After hesitating for a while, he went to Wu Tiezhu's house. (End of this chapter)
