Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

"Ah!" Ignoring the pain in his body, Wang Lin's words were too harsh and directly enraged the silly Zhu. He tried to stand up by supporting himself with his hands on the ground.

"Just lie down obediently!" Wang Lin pressed down slightly with his leg, and He Yuzhu was pressed down again.

"Wang Lin! Murder is a crime!" Yi Zhonghai wanted to step forward to help, but how could an elderly man like him be a match for the young and strong Wang Lin? He could only passively look for other opportunities.

"Who said I was going to kill someone! Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!" Wang Lin looked at Yi Zhonghai with a half-smile.

"Wang Lin! Let's talk this out! It's not the style of a scholar to resort to violence. Let go of Sha Zhu and let him get up to talk," Uncle Yan Bugui also chimed in, trying to persuade him.

"Yan Bugui! You, a shrewd and calculating person who loves to take advantage of others, dare to call yourself a scholar?" Wang Lin really looked down on Yan Bugui. It was one thing for him to be stingy with others, but he treated his own children the same way, being petty and calculating. He was simply unworthy of being a father.

"Wang Lin! Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you're a good student. Do you even know what it means to respect your teachers?" Third Uncle Yan Bugui hadn't expected Wang Lin to be so blunt, showing him absolutely no respect. And, coincidentally, scholars are most prone to being overly concerned with saving face, even if it means suffering for it.

“You’re not my teacher! Why should I respect you?” Wang Lin retorted.

"Quick-witted and eloquent!" Uncle Yan Bugui recited two idioms.

Wang Lin didn't want to continue the argument, so he suggested, "It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai thought Wang Lin was scared, so he refused, saying, "Wang Lin, unless you agree to write a letter of forgiveness, you can forget about sleeping tonight."

Wang Lin was amused. He wasn't afraid of Yi Zhonghai's threat and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I don't study or work, and I get a monthly allowance. I won't starve. I have plenty of time to play along with you guys."

A protracted war? It's just a matter of sacrificing some sleep time, who's afraid of who!

Wang Lin's stubbornness has stumped Yi Zhonghai. They can slowly make trouble for Wang Lin later, but Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu can't wait that long at the police station. At most, it will be two days. Even if Yi Zhonghai uses his connections, he won't be able to stop the case from being closed. By then, it will be too late.

To solve the immediate problem, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to ask He Yuzhu to apologize to Wang Lin, saying, "Silly Zhu! Sincerely apologize to Wang Lin and beg him to be lenient and let Qin Huairu and her mother-in-law Jia Zhangshi go."

Listen to what Yi Zhonghai is saying! Now he's actually making He Yuzhu apologize and beg for mercy.

He Yuzhu has never asked anyone for anything in his life! He's always acted like he's the boss! Relying on his family's culinary skills, he bullies others in his work and life. Asking him to beg Wang Lin is like asking him to die! Absolutely impossible!

Wang Lin never expected that Yi Zhonghai would actually be pragmatic. Wasn't Old Bi Deng determined to fight to the bitter end? Why is he backing down now? Could there be a trap?

"Wang Lin! To tell you the truth, as long as you agree to write a letter of understanding, you can name any conditions you want, as long as they are not too unreasonable, I can agree to them."

In truth, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to back down, but if he couldn't rescue Jia Zhangshi, the consequences would be ten times worse than offending Wang Lin! Jia Zhangshi had a big mouth; she could turn black into white, and her embellishments would definitely bring Yi Zhonghai a lot of trouble.

Men, after all! Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young? Yi Zhonghai was no exception.

Wang Lin stroked his chin and pondered, as if this was an opportunity.

Yi Zhonghai's concession was probably because he was worried that Jia Zhangshi would gossip outside, since he had watched the whole series and had some understanding of the plot.

For now, we don't have to worry about food and drink, but we lack guarantees about money and tickets.

If you can use this opportunity to exchange for some money and tickets, it would be best to include the seeds as well.

Having lived for so many years, Yi Zhonghai has seen all sorts of people. Wang Lin's expression clearly shows that he is thinking about how to maximize his own interests.

He Yuzhu was still being pressed to the ground by Wang Lin. He tried to get up, but every time he tried to push himself up with his hands, Wang Lin's legs would exert force to press him down. After a few attempts, He Yuzhu realized that the difference in strength between him and Wang Lin was too great.

Why would a frail scholar suddenly gain such immense strength? Could it be some kind of extraordinary encounter like in comic books? Or has this guy been secretly training over the past two years?

"One thousand yuan plus all kinds of tickets and seeds." Wang Lin immediately asked for one thousand yuan, plus tickets and seeds.

"One thousand yuan!" Yi Zhonghai was astonished when he heard this!

"Impossible! Don't listen to him, Uncle! That little bastard is just asking for an exorbitant amount!" He Yuzhu wasn't without money, but it was his last remaining savings, and he wouldn't use it unless he got married.

"Wang Lin! This thousand yuan is too much, reduce it, I'll figure out a way to get the tickets and seeds!" Yi Zhonghai was good at avoiding the important issues; he took care of the rest, leaving the bulk of the expenses to Sha Zhu.

"Eight hundred! That's the lowest I can go, or there's no point in talking." Wang Lin conceded a step.

“Okay.” Yi Zhonghai compromised, “You get Sha Zhu up first, I’ll go back with him and scrape it together, and I’ll bring it to you tomorrow.”

"Get out of here." Wang Lin withdrew his foot and told He Yuzhu to get up.

He Yuzhu, who had just gotten up, wanted to attack Wang Lin, but he only rolled up his sleeves and cursed, "You little bastard!"

Wang Lin casually remarked, "If this continues, it won't be something that money can solve. You should think about it carefully, Sha Zhu."

He Yuzhu clenched his fists; he was now in a difficult situation!

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and pulled He Yuzhu aside, saying, "Relieving people is the priority right now. Money and tickets are just external things; we can earn them back later."

Of course, a good adopted son should listen to his good adoptive father, He Yuzhu nodded helplessly.

Uncle Yan Bugui will not participate. He will not ask for money, and he will not ask for tickets. As for seeds, he can ask Yi Zhonghai and his friends and relatives.

After watching the two stewards leave with He Yuzhu, Wang Lin picked up the foot basin, went back into the house, and locked the door.

Money gives men courage. Wang Lin needs to renovate the house properly. He won't leave his own room untouched. The main goal is to create a better living environment for the two mythical beasts. If possible, he plans to buy the deaf old lady's house in the future. Once he sets up the door to the front yard, the world will be peaceful. He can do whatever he wants in the backyard and never have to live at the mercy of others again. YYDS!

Chapter 26 The stick-like creature wants to break the glass; here's a bad luck charm for you.

Wang Lin glanced at the room of the two mythical beasts. His two younger sisters were sleeping soundly, and he felt at ease knowing that the prince was looking after them.

Back in his room, Wang Lin unlocked it with his fingerprint, closed the door, and began his life of enjoyment.

Without further ado, let's take a hot bath to relieve our fatigue.

Let's add another lyrical piece of music.

Red wine can help you sleep, so you absolutely shouldn't miss it.

"Xiao Ai, decorate the indoor scene into a starry sea."

"Good host!"

The walls of the entire room changed; it was no longer a technologically advanced room, but was replaced by a galaxy.

Wang Lin lay down on the soft bed, gazing up at the slowly changing starry sky as he drifted off to sleep.

As for signing in, I'll deal with that tomorrow after I wake up.

While Wang Lin was enjoying himself, the lights were still on in Yi Zhonghai's house in the front yard.

He Yuzhu sat in front of Yi Zhonghai with a troubled expression, while Yi Zhonghai placed a pile of coupons on the table. There were all kinds of coupons, but the most numerous were grain coupons.

The older woman wanted to intervene, but after opening her mouth, she ultimately decided to leave it alone. She knew very well what kind of person the older man was, as his wife.

Seeing He Yuzhu's worried expression, Yi Zhonghai asked, "Silly Zhu! How much money do you have left?"

He Yuzhu played a trick on Yi Zhonghai and didn't tell the truth, saying, "Uncle! I've been supporting Qin Huairu's family for the past few years and haven't saved any money at all. I'm still short half of the eight hundred yuan Wang Lin asked for."

Four hundred yuan!

This is no small sum of money.

Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette and smoked it, unaware that He Yuzhu had lied to him.

He Yuzhu was also annoyed, so he lit a cigarette and started smoking.

The father and son smoked a cigarette, and finally Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "I'll lend you the other half first, and you can pay me back when you have the money."

He Yuzhu felt much less stressed upon hearing this, and gratefully said to the old man, "That's great, I'll bring the money over tomorrow morning."

After discussing it and reaching an agreement, He Yuzhu went back to sleep.

After seeing He Yuzhu off, Yi Zhonghai closed the door and prepared to go to bed. However, an older woman with her back to Yi Zhonghai asked, "Old Yi, do you really think Sha Zhu is reliable? Will he take care of us in our old age and see us off when we die?"

"Go to sleep, Sha Zhu won't abandon us."

Yi Zhonghai was quite confident in his ability to judge people, especially since he had watched Sha Zhu grow up from a young age and had brainwashed him for so many years! His ideas were already deeply ingrained, and even if He Yuzhu's father from Baoding came, he might not be as close to him.

The older woman didn't ask any more questions, and went to sleep with her thoughts in mind.

An old man turned over, deep in thought in the darkness.

He Yuzhu had just returned outside when he saw that the light was still on in the side room, so he knocked on the door.

He Yushui didn't open the door. She asked in a bad mood, "What do you want?"

He Yuzhu said from outside, "Yushui, your sister Qin's matter is resolved, go to sleep early."

He Yushui never expected that He Yuzhu, this rough and uncultured guy, would actually succeed. However, He Yushui still couldn't sleep. Wang Lin's attitude towards her became more and more indifferent, as if it didn't matter whether she was there or not.

This can't go on. If Wang Lin finds someone new, He Yushui will have no chance at all.

I need to make my presence felt in front of Wang Lin as much as possible, but I can't forgive him easily! I can't let him think that I, He Yushui, can't find anyone better than him if I leave him.

This is where Zhang Hao's importance becomes apparent. If Zhang Hao were to show his face in the courtyard, Wang Lin would definitely feel threatened, and whether or not he would forgive him would depend on his mood.

After thinking it through, He Yushui turned off the lights and went to sleep.

He Yuzhu, who was about to eat outside, saw the light in He Yushui's side room suddenly go out. He muttered to himself, "If she is with Qin Huairu in the future, Yushui will definitely be a good aunt to the children."

Inside Jia Zhangshi's house, Banggeng came home from school and overheard the women in the compound saying that his grandmother and mother had been arrested by Wang Lin for stealing. He was so angry that he wanted to go and get revenge on Wang Lin! Luckily, the third aunt stopped him.

With no one to look after Banggeng, he rolled out of bed, put on his clothes, grabbed his slingshot, and crouched down, preparing to go to the backyard to take revenge on Wang Lin.

It's probably true that when bad luck strikes, even drinking cold water can cause problems. Banggeng, who had just opened the door, wasn't paying attention to where he was going, slipped, did a split, and tore his testicles. He walked back into the house in a bizarre way, like a castrated eunuch in a TV drama.

Huaihua and Xiaodang were already asleep, otherwise they would definitely laugh at their brother.

Bang Geng struggled to climb into bed. He felt a little better, but it was impossible for him to get out of bed and walk again anytime soon. He gritted his teeth and thought that he would take revenge later!

Lost in thought, Bang Geng drifted off to sleep. As for revenge, it seemed he could only wait until tomorrow.

"Cuckoo!"

The rooster crows early in the morning.

"Brother, get up."

The locust flower swayed its stem.

"Hmm... let me sleep a little longer."

Banggeng was very sleepy, so he turned over and continued to sleep.

Normally, the whole family is crammed onto one kang (a heated brick bed), making it difficult to even turn over. Now that they can finally sleep comfortably, Banggeng naturally wants to stay in bed longer.

It's not really the fault of Bang Geng; Jia Zhangshi's size means she takes up a lot of space when she sleeps.

After trying to wake up Banggeng several times without success, Huaihua simply gave up.

Banggeng slept and slept until the Third Aunt came to look after him and his siblings. Banggeng woke up as if from a dream. It was already the next day.

Frustrated, he disregarded day and night, picked up his slingshot, and headed to the backyard to smash Wang Lin's windows.

When the three aunts saw that Banggeng was going out, they assumed he was going out to play and didn't pay much attention. They just reminded him, "Banggeng, remember to come back for lunch."

Bang Geng acted as if he hadn't heard anything and went out on his own.
