Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

Li Chaoyang knew from Yan Bugui's expression that the old man understood what he meant...

In fact, he had already noticed that Yan Bugui was acting strangely.

It's obvious what this old guy is thinking...

So he simply asked the old man to run an errand for him, so he wouldn't have to worry about him reporting him!

Hiring someone to do work isn't a huge deal, but it's not a small one either!

Currently, it's still in a state where officials won't investigate unless the public reports it...

However, Li Chaoyang was always cautious, so he naturally had to find a way to cover it up.

To avoid others finding out and causing further trouble...

After all, there were already two families in this courtyard who were at odds with him...

There's no guarantee that neither the Jia family nor the Xu family will be idle enough to report him. Dealing with that would be quite troublesome. If this third uncle could testify that it was a friend's help, then there would basically be no problem... Actually, this could also be considered a test for Yan Bugui...

Since moving into this courtyard, the Third Uncle has been quite polite. If he continues to be so understanding... then to be honest, Li Chaoyang wouldn't mind casually giving him a little something extra...

Anyway, it's just some small favors.

If this could make the calculating Yan Bugui listen to me and even protect me in every way from then on.

That way, if I get into minor trouble in the yard, I won't be in such a desperate situation anymore...

Li Chaoyang knew that his temper was definitely not compatible with the people in this courtyard, so he naturally wanted to plan ahead.

Sure enough, the old man couldn't resist the temptation of the meal.

Although he hesitated for a moment, he still accepted the five-jin grain coupon that Li Chaoyang handed over.

He, who was always calculating, immediately understood why they were only given food coupons and not money.

Swallowing hard, Yan Bugui immediately beamed and agreed, then quickly turned to get things done...

Her legs were so fast they rivaled those of a young person, as if she were afraid Li Chaoyang would regret it...

.......

After the third uncle left, the old carpenters gave Li Chaoyang a brief self-introduction.

When Yan Bugui was still alive, they really didn't dare to say their names or where they lived.

These days, it's not easy to do any kind of work...

Chapter Sixty-One: Qin Huairu's Adultery! Her Lover is an Old Man? Caught Red-Handed by Madam Jia? [Requesting Complete Subscription]

The employer is afraid of being accused of exploitation if they hire someone, while the worker is afraid of being accused of poaching employees.

They generally wouldn't dare to take this job unless introduced by someone they know...

The situation has been getting increasingly tense lately, and the group of guys haven't had a proper meal in a long time. They finally managed to find a job repairing Li Chaoyang's house through Jiang Datong's introduction.

Naturally, everyone was extremely cautious, fearing that something might go wrong along the way.

The leader of these men was an old man surnamed Zhang, and the other three were Wang and Zhao.

They are all veteran craftsmen who made a living in Beijing before liberation by repairing old wooden doors, windows and houses.

The group first thanked Li Chaoyang profusely for treating them to an extra meal.

Then I started talking to him about the renovation issues related to his three houses...

These old carpenters were quite efficient. In just half a day, the doors and windows that were loose and looked like they were about to fall apart were now much sturdier, and the glass had obviously been wiped clean.

Even the bookshelves inside have been completely renovated; a fresh coat of paint makes them look brand new again...

So far, the work seems to have been done cleanly and efficiently.

The experienced craftsmen that Comrade Lao Jiang introduced are quite reliable.

.......

Li Chaoyang was discussing the details of the repairs with the old carpenter surnamed Zhang.

But then they heard what sounded like an argument coming from the courtyard in front!

Suddenly, the courtyard became incredibly noisy with people trying to break up the fight and hurling insults... a veritable cacophony of voices!

In particular, Jia Zhangshi's extremely sharp widow's voice almost pierced the air as she roared!

"oops....!"

“It’s unreasonable!”

"Everyone, come and see!"

"My son was seriously injured while fighting for the country and is lying in the hospital, we don't even know if he'll live or die!"

"But when he got home, someone was thinking about his wife!"

"Is there anything more heinous than this...?"

"..."

Li Chaoyang, who had initially wanted to ignore "790", frowned instantly upon hearing this!

What the hell is that old hag up to now?

I remember she cursed me like that at the hospital at noon. Does she want to cause a scene in the courtyard again?

But when have I ever thought about Qin Huairu?

When Li Chaoyang arrived at the bustling courtyard with a dark expression, he found...

It seems I've made another blunder!

It turns out that when Jia Zhangshi said "utterly depraved," she wasn't referring to herself.

It was an elderly man, Yi Zhonghai, who was "highly respected" in this courtyard!

Moreover, an older woman was silently sobbing in a corner, her face covered.

It's obvious he got beaten up!

Yi Zhonghai, his face flushed with embarrassment, blushed and loudly explained to Jia Zhangshi, "Sister-in-law Jia, what are you saying! What do you mean I seduced your widow?"

"Let's not talk about whether your son, Jia Xudong, is still alive!"

"Even if Qin Huairu becomes a widow, don't you think about it, sister-in-law!"

"How old am I? How could I possibly go around trying to seduce younger people?"

Although Yi Zhonghai seemed to be trying very hard to restrain himself, he still couldn't help but swear...

Coupled with his righteous face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his serious expression...

This extremely strange contrast almost made Li Chaoyang, who had a dark expression, burst out laughing!

This is just too hilarious!

Seeing that it didn't concern him, he stood behind the crowd at the entrance of the alley in the backyard and watched the commotion.

Anyway, he's tall, so when he stands behind others, they can't block his view...

At that moment, he even felt as if he were watching the story unfold firsthand.

Qin Huairu had returned sometime earlier, her eyes red and swollen, her face flushed with embarrassment, trying to drag Jia Zhangshi back into the house. Her son, Banggeng, stood by, watching in horror as his mother and grandmother struggled...

His younger sister, Xiaodang, was standing at her own doorstep, wailing and crying...

In addition, there was an old man who was gradually becoming furious and roaring angrily at Jia Zhangshi.

The scene looked so bad that anyone unaware of the situation would definitely think that Yi Zhonghai was bullying the Jia family, including women, children, and the elderly!

Listening to the conversation of the people in front of him, Li Chaoyang realized that an old man who had just finished get off work and was returning home had encountered Qin Huairu, who had just returned from the hospital to pick up some things, at the entrance of the alley.

Yi Zhonghai naturally knew that Jia Xudong had an accident at the factory.

He saw Qin Huairu crying her eyes out and was heartbroken, so he naturally offered a few words of comfort. But he also asked a few more questions, though according to those who were there at the time, he was just asking normal questions like whether she needed any help.

Whether it was because he expressed too much concern for Jia Xudong, or because the two were too close at the time, this scene was witnessed by Jia Zhangshi, who had just finished crying in the courtyard.

At the time, I thought it was an old man flirting with Qin Huairu, so I got furious and started yelling at the old man in the yard!

As a result, an older woman who rushed over to mediate the fight was slapped twice across the face by the enraged Jia Zhangshi...

And it's even perfectly symmetrical, which is really unfair...

However, it's said that the slap he delivered was quite stylish, reminiscent of someone else's...

Qin Huairu had finally managed to drag Jia Zhangshi to her doorstep.

But the old woman, acting like a spoiled brat, plopped down on her own steps.

Then, with a trembling hand and a face full of anger, he pointed at the old man and started cursing again: "Yi Zhonghai!"

"You really think I don't know what you're thinking!"

"You old bastard, you're only doing this because that vixen Qin Huairu can have so many children!"

"You come to flirt with our Xudong as soon as he gets into trouble. All you want is a son!"

"Pah!" Madam Jia spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground in an extremely exaggerated manner!

"I'm not afraid to sue you today, this slut's most prolific offspring are just money-losing trash!"
