Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

"Let me tell you, from now on you'd better shut up."

"You deliberately splashed water on me just now, didn't you?"

He Daqing was called back, and he was actually quite scared. Unlike Sha Zhu, He Daqing had been a coward since childhood, and he was timid when he was young.

He Daqing really didn't expect to be stopped by Li Chaoyang during this process, but although He Daqing was trembling inside.

On the surface, he still pretended to be very calm, but turned his head and deliberately squeezed out that strange smile.

"Whether I did it on purpose or not, it doesn't matter. Just because I spilled some water in the courtyard, does that mean you're going to send me in too?"

"To be honest, I've never met anyone as wicked as you."

"I didn't do it on purpose just now. I didn't expect you to come out. My eyesight isn't very good, so please forgive me if I did anything wrong."

He Daqing had excellent eyesight, something Li Chaoyang knew best. Yet, He Daqing dared to act like a rogue in front of Li Chaoyang and say such things. Upon hearing He Daqing's words, Li Chaoyang immediately grabbed He Daqing.

He Daqing was already very flustered just now. Just calling out to He Daqing made him unsure of what to do.

Now that he'd actually been caught, He Daqing panicked and threw the basin away, like a mouse suddenly caught by a cat.

The neighbors in the courtyard couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, and He Daqing realized that he had embarrassed himself, so he pretended to be very calm.

"Let go of me! Why are you holding me like that?!"

Actually, Li Chaoyang didn't intend to do anything. He was just a little nervous with Da Qing. Seeing how nervous He Da Qing was, Li Chaoyang couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, I can't do anything to you!"

In fact, this process had already terrified everyone in the courtyard. They all knew that Li Chaoyang was vengeful and ruthless. Anyone who offended Li Chaoyang would be retaliated against.

So everyone in the courtyard was terrified. If something really happened to He Daqing at this moment, they didn't know whether to stop him or just stand by and do nothing.

The atmosphere in the entire courtyard was very tense, while Xu Damao watched the spectacle with amusement.

How about I give you a chance to make money?

"Come with me to buy groceries, and I'll give you a hundred yuan." 883

Xu Damao was surprised to see such a good opportunity and wanted to go, so he asked Li Chaoyang for the chance.

“Hey Li Chaoyang, all I do is buy groceries for you, and you only give me a hundred yuan? Why don’t you ask me for such a good deal? Look at me, I’m tall and big.”

"I can help you carry the groceries, don't you think? What's the point of talking to an old man like him? You might as well talk to me."

One hundred yuan is nothing to Li Chaoyang, but for the people in the courtyard, it is an astronomical figure. Some people don't even earn one hundred yuan a year.

Even Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong came forward to try and get the chance.

"I'm a woman, so if I go there, I can negotiate the price for you and also control the quality of the vegetables. You should ask me for leave from the steel mill today to go grocery shopping with you."

"Or I can do it too. Although I don't have much of an advantage over the other two, I'm obedient. If you tell me to go east, I won't dare to go west."

The reason Xu Damao is here is not because I'm afraid he'll cause trouble, but because I don't want to get into such big trouble, especially on this joyous day.

Li Chaoyang wanted to get Xu Damao away as soon as possible so that things could officially begin. Now, seeing that Xu Damao not only didn't want to go to work but also wanted to help him buy groceries, Li Chaoyang quickly refused everyone.

"Don't you have any public morality or compassion? You said that so-and-so moved in, what kind of life does Uncle He expect?

"You guys have jobs, why are you arguing with others? Hurry up and get to your jobs."

“I’m a very reasonable person, so I’ll give this opportunity to Uncle He! No one else can change it.”

Xu Damao felt that Li Chaoyang was acting a little strange this morning, because Xu Damao knew that Li Chaoyang was not that kind of person.

Anyone who crosses Xu Damao will definitely not be tolerated, especially since He Daqing deliberately picked a fight this morning and almost splashed water all over Li Chaoyang.

How could Li Chaoyang not retaliate against He Daqing but instead give He Daqing a chance to make money? Xu Damao couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried.

However, Xu Damao really couldn't explain this situation, but just like Li Chaoyang said, Xu Damao still had a job, no matter what.

Now that Li Chaoyang had said so, Xu Damao didn't want to insist any longer. He turned around and left the courtyard, saying smugly.

"I'm not going to fight with you old folks for a hundred yuan, it's shameful!"

Xu Damao finally left. Although so many people had snatched this opportunity, He Daqing still didn't quite understand why such a good thing had fallen into his hands.

Especially since He Daqing has been at odds with Li Chaoyang these past two days, He Daqing also feels that even if such a good thing really exists, it would definitely not be He Daqing's turn.

"Let me tell you, don't try anything funny with me."

"How could you be so kind? You'd rather kick me out of the courtyard house than let me stay and go grocery shopping with you, and you're even going to give me money?"

"You're not going to take this opportunity to kill me, are you? You don't have that kind of guts, do you?"

Li Chaoyang was surprised that He Daqing had such a vivid imagination. Hearing He Daqing's guess, Li Chaoyang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You have a persecution complex. What good would it do me to kill you, you old man? Don't you know I'd pay with my life for you?"

"While all the neighbors are still here, I, Li Chaoyang, would like to share some good news with you all. Today, I, Li Chaoyang, am holding a banquet in the courtyard to celebrate my wedding."

"If you think you might need my help in the future, then learn a lesson from me. If you don't think it's necessary, then you don't need to give any money. I'll treat you all to free food and drinks in this courtyard."

When Li Chaoyang said this, everyone in the courtyard was stunned. They had never heard any news about it before, and now they were suddenly shocked to hear that Li Chaoyang was getting married.

Even He Daqing, who was standing next to him, looked surprised and confused.

"What do you mean? Who are you marrying? I haven't heard about this before. I did see a pretty girl come to our courtyard. Could it be him? He looks like that girl surnamed Ran."

"You sent my son to your wedding and then you had a big celebration? You're really infuriating! What does your wedding have to do with me? You expect me to help you with the arrangements and make a big fuss? Let me tell you, no way!"

The people in the courtyard were all sighing over this matter, and everyone was speculating about who Li Chaoyang's marriage partner was.

“I’ve seen Ran Qiuye come twice. It seems like one of the times was very early in the morning. I think Ran Qiuye must have already spent the night in his room.”

........ ........ ...

"So it turns out these two are getting married soon. As fellow students, we are naturally happy for them. Ran Qiuye is quite lucky."

"Once she marries into the family, she'll live a life of luxury. What girl wouldn't want that? Besides, he's a famous musician in our city."

"Ran Qiuye is beautiful, after all. If she were just an ordinary girl, how could Li Chaoyang possibly be interested in her?"

"Do you remember? Sha Zhu wanted to introduce his sister to Li Chaoyang before."

He Daqing was both unwilling and disbelieving. Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the people in the courtyard, Li Chaoyang thought it was perfectly normal. After all, this matter was indeed a bit unbelievable, and he had no premonition at all before.

Even after hearing He Daqing's words, Li Chaoyang did not give up, because in Li Chaoyang's view, there was nothing that he could not control.

There was nothing he couldn't achieve. The reason He Daqing disagreed was simply to vent his anger. Money hadn't tempted He Daqing, which shows that he still had quite a big appetite.

"Are you sure you don't agree? You come with me to buy groceries, and we'll have the banquet in the yard. You, '883,' will be the one to cause trouble. If you're willing, the total cost, including buying groceries and cooking, is three hundred yuan."

"If you're not willing, then you'll miss this opportunity. I can easily find a chef who's far better than you."

The temptation of 100 yuan might be small, but the temptation of 300 yuan was too great, making Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong envious.

This was equivalent to a huge sum of money for the people in the courtyard, which must have terrified He Daqing.

However, he still couldn't believe that so much money could be given. Seeing the expression on He Daqing's face, Li Chaoyang knew that his goal would definitely be achieved.

After Li Chaoyang finished speaking, He Daqing thought for a moment. Although he agreed in his heart, he had long been won over by money. He would drink anything to make money and for retirement, but he was still unwilling to admit it.

"I don't want to hear you say that. What do you mean by saying that any random chef is better than me? Even Sha Zhu didn't pass down my cooking skills, you know?"

"This is a family heirloom recipe of mine. You can't find it anywhere else. Since you say that, I'll show you just how exquisite my cooking skills are. I'll make you completely convinced."

He was clearly won over by money, yet he still insisted on showing his unyielding pride. After hearing He Daqing's words, Li Chaoyang didn't say much, but just couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Anyway, as long as Daqing agrees to cook for me, I'm fine with anything.

"Alright, then I'll see for myself. Let's go then. It's settled then. Folks, don't forget to come back for lunch!"

"Aren't you all curious about who this bride is? You'll find out when you get back!"

Hearing these words filled these people with even more surprise and confusion; such a good opportunity...

Qin Huairu naturally wanted to make a profit from it, so she immediately went to Li Chaoyang and tried to persuade him.

"Li Chaoyang, you're hiring a chef, but aren't you missing some other roles? You need someone to serve the dishes, right? What do you think of me?"

"Just give me fifty, I won't treat it as me helping out and earning a little money to support my family. You know how hard it is for my family."

Li Chaoyang never expected that on this joyous day, these people would still hold a grudge against him for what he had done to him before, even though he had already let it go. Now, no one was willing to help him.

　5.8 “You’re all unwilling to help, right? That’s fine too. But if none of you give a gift, only one person can come to the banquet. If you do give a gift, then each family can send two people. I won’t entertain any more than that.”

"We live in the same courtyard, and when I host a banquet, you guys just serve dishes and pour water, and I'm expected to take care of you all? How can you even say that?"

Everyone present understood Li Chaoyang's meaning: if wages were to be calculated, then no one should attend the banquet; if they wanted to eat, they would have to give a gift.

When giving gifts, each household has its own requirements, so instead of doing that, everyone might as well take this opportunity to ease the tension between themselves and Li Chaoyang.

If you help out, the whole family can go out for a banquet, and each household in the courtyard has a large population.

Second Aunt and Third Aunt seized the opportunity and stepped forward at this crucial moment, speaking eagerly.

"Oh dear, we all live in the same courtyard, why would we need money? Is our family short of fifty yuan? I'll help."
