Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

"Who are you? Who are you to me?"

"He's a high-ranking section chief!"

"You're just a level eight fitter!"

"It's one thing to show off to the working class in the compound all the time!"

"Now you actually want to order that section chief around for you..."

"You're dreaming!"

"Let me tell you, I really will go to your factory and report you!"

"Your factory's top leader told me today that if anyone bullies us orphans and widows!"

"We absolutely must get their help... Just you wait, Yi Zhonghai!"

"If I don't make a scene and make you lose your eighth-grade fitter's benefits, I'll make my son take your surname!"

"Jia Zhangshi!" Yi Zhonghai's old face was now as black as ink, and he glared viciously at the distorted and disgusting face. "What exactly do you want, you crazy woman?"

Yi Zhonghai was completely taken aback!

This young man, Li Chaoyang, not only didn't follow the expected pattern, but because of their conversation, Jia Zhangshi found an opportunity to escalate her actions!

Having been Jia Zhangshi's neighbor for decades, he knew all too well what this crazy woman was thinking!

Isn't it just that she wants to get something out of him...?

Then I'll just give her some benefits to settle things!

We absolutely cannot let that old madwoman Jia Zhangshi file a complaint first, and then report it to the factory leaders!

Otherwise, if the factory leaders show even the slightest favoritism because of Jia Xudong's recent troubles, my reputation will be completely ruined!

That's it!

Since my salary is high, I'm not afraid of losing a little money...

It might even make others in the courtyard think that I am of noble character...

As long as it doesn't get to the factory, it's fine!

As for the people in the courtyard, everyone knows what kind of person Jia Zhangshi, that crazy old woman, is, so there's nothing to be afraid of!

These thoughts flashed through Yi Zhonghai's mind in an instant.

He was still thinking about how to get Li Chaoyang to turn back and definitely help him prove something.

However, Li Chaoyang was already impatient.

Seeing that neither Yi Zhonghai nor Jia Zhangshi dared to say anything more to him, he simply turned around and left.

He simply couldn't be bothered with these people anymore!

If I had known it wasn't my problem, I should have kept quiet!

On his way back, Li Chaoyang even had a brief moment of self-reflection...

I shouldn't have come to see this spectacle at all!

By the time Yi Zhonghai turned around and looked towards the entrance to the backyard, Li Chaoyang had already disappeared!

This time, the "highly respected" old man was really furious!

Since he became an eighth-grade fitter, no one has ever dared to disrespect him like this!

Li Chaoyang, a mere section chief, not only humiliated him!

And he even dared to warn me not to involve him?

Do you really think I, a level eight fitter, am a pushover?

Looking towards the backyard, Yi Zhonghai's eyes turned somewhat sinister.

He desperately wanted to catch up with Li Chaoyang and argue with him!

He certainly wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me!

After all, Li Chaoyang was tall and strong, and Xu Damao's example was still a warning to us!

Besides, the whole courtyard is watching... I'll settle the score with this kid later!

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment, then turned around.

But seeing that old madwoman, Jia Zhangshi, only fueled the old man's anger even more...

But this matter still needs to be resolved...

After thinking for a moment, Yi Zhonghai put his hands on his hips and asked, "Jia Zhangshi, just tell me what you want!"

"As long as you don't go too far, I'll just let this go even if I suffer a loss!"

"But I need you to explain this clearly to everyone!"

"I, Yi Zhonghai, absolutely did not seduce your Qin Huairu!"

"Otherwise, I'd rather fight you to the death than let you gain the slightest advantage over me!"

When Jia Zhangshi saw that Yi Zhonghai had given in, she immediately became beaming with joy!

"Ah...that's more like it!"

"You should have just done it this way earlier...."

"As for what I want to do..." Madam Jia thought for a moment, then grinned and said, "In short, pay up!"

"As long as you pay compensation, everything is negotiable!"

Having escalated the situation to this point, Jia Zhangshi has completely lost all shame and is now directly demanding money!

Their movements and postures were exactly like those of a brothel madam from the old society!

Everyone shook their heads...

Yi Zhonghai wasn't surprised at all, and immediately nodded eagerly, asking, "Tell me, how many do you want?"

Chapter Sixty-Three: Jia Zhangshi's Exorbitant Demands! The old man's true thought was actually: [Please grant me a full subscription!]

"Old man..." An older woman quickly stepped forward to stop him.

But Yi Zhonghai angrily said, "Shut up and go back!"

The woman immediately stopped crying... and tears streamed down her face.

Her expression looked extremely aggrieved, but even so, she insisted on not going back inside.

Yi Zhonghai ignored his wife and stared intently at Jia Zhangshi, waiting for her reply.

Sitting on the steps, Jia Zhangshi stretched out her palm and said with some pride, "I won't ask for much from you, just ten yuan!"

"This is only because you, old man, didn't succeed!"

"Otherwise... I'll make sure you don't even have your underwear left today!"

"Ten yuan!" Yi Zhonghai finally showed a surprised expression. "Why don't you just rob me!"

"Jia Zhangshi, you crazy old woman, have you ever even seen what ten yuan looks like?!"

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he started swearing!

You should know that ten yuan is almost the monthly salary of a new apprentice in a factory!

At this moment, an older woman wiped away her tears and stepped forward, saying, "No! Absolutely not!"

"Jia Zhangshi, are you obsessed with money?"

"Ten yuan? Don't you even consider how much your son earns in a month?"

"It's only thirty or forty yuan, right?"

"How dare you ask for ten yuan!"

As she spoke, the older woman turned around and pulled Yi Zhonghai back into the house.

"Old Yi, let's not worry about it anymore. Let her sue wherever she wants!"

"Didn't that young man, Section Chief Li, just say that?"

"We're upright and have nothing to fear!"

"At worst, I'll go to your boss and vouch for you!"

"You absolutely could not possibly be trying to seduce Qin Huairu!"

"Huh? What does this mean?" Sha Zhu, who had been observing the situation, brightened up upon hearing this.

"Why would an older woman think that her going there would prove that an older man wouldn't seduce Qin Huairu?"

"..." He seemed to be deep in thought, pondering many things.

Seeing that the two sides were about to reach a stalemate, Sha Zhu, fearless of death, approached Jia Zhangshi and grinned like a simpleton: "Aunt Jia... it's really a bit too much for you to ask for ten yuan."

"Do you think your Qin Huairu is made of gold trim or adorned with precious jade?"
