Moreover, Lao Zhang, who was in charge, suggested that he keep it as it was.
Otherwise, it would stand out from the other houses...
Who knows, one day someone might get upset and cause trouble again...
These days, keeping your wealth hidden is the key to success...
However, Li Chaoyang was still somewhat hesitant. He really didn't want to pay any more attention to the people in the courtyard outside!
At worst, we can just install a small gate on the small archway to make it a separate courtyard!
Anyway, only my family lives in this little courtyard... so I'm not afraid of what others will say if we install a door!
But just as he was talking to Old Zhang, the Third Uncle finally entered the courtyard with food...
Surprisingly, there's also this kid Yan Jiecheng?
Li Chaoyang was naturally a little unhappy and frowned once again.
He gestured towards the eldest son of the Yan family and asked, "Third Uncle, what's going on?"
"Chaoyang, I haven't seen you working here."
"Let our eldest son come over and help these guys out."
"Don't worry, he would never dare to go around saying anything!"
As Yan Bugui spoke, he gestured to his son and said, "Jiecheng, why don't you say hello to Section Chief Li!"
"Section Chief Li..." Yan Jiecheng lowered his head, seemingly somewhat woodenly.
Before Li Chaoyang could even agree, Old Zhang, who was working over there, turned around and said, "Brother, we don't need that many people here. The four of us are enough for this little bit of work, and we don't need any assistants."
"Let your son go back!"
Old Zhang thought they were there to steal his job, and his expression turned somewhat unfriendly.
Just kidding, this job was something Xiao Jiang worked really hard to find for them, how could we let someone else interfere?
"Dad, I told you I didn't want to come, but you insisted! It's so embarrassing!" Yan Jiecheng angrily shoved the net bag he was carrying into his father's hand and walked away without looking back!
Yan Jiecheng was unwilling to come in the first place, and now that he heard this unfamiliar old man say this, he naturally slipped away!
This old man is really stingy. He wanted his son to work for Li Chaoyang, but said he wanted to take the profits home...
Will Yan Jiecheng accept this honestly?
Li Chaoyang was unaware of what was going on and found it somewhat puzzling…
Yan Bugui was now in an awkward position.
He gave a sheepish smile and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Chaoyang, this child is impolite, please don't mind him, I'll give him a good talking to when we get back!"
"Come on, let your son's third uncle discipline him if he wants, it's none of my business." Li Chaoyang really didn't care about these things, as long as the child didn't say anything out of line when he went out.
As for the rest, he really didn't care anymore.
After all, he had just witnessed a truly shocking spectacle, so his tolerance level was already quite high!
Looking down at the net bag in Yan Bugui's hand, Li Chaoyang asked, "Have you bought all the food?"
"I bought them!" The third uncle hurriedly held up the bowl. "They're all meat and vegetable noodles!"
"I guarantee it will be very plentiful!"
"Chaoyang, you can absolutely trust me, Uncle. I bought everything at the right price!"
"If you do the math, you should still have some of the food coupons you gave me left..."
He was calculating the accounts on his fingers, but Li Chaoyang reached out and took the net bag.
"Alright, Uncle, we agreed that the rest is all yours, so you don't need to report the expenses to me anymore!"
"Even if you leave half, as long as the food is bought, I have no objection to the rest."
Yan Bugui was about to say something with a happy expression when he heard Li Chaoyang continue to say expressionlessly, "If there's nothing else, you can go back."
"We have some things to discuss after we finish eating, so we won't keep you any longer!"
I'll bring you the lunchbox later.
To be honest, it's because of what happened in the front yard earlier.
Li Chaoyang now has an even worse impression of the people in this courtyard.
In addition, the Third Uncle brought Yan Jiecheng over without even asking any questions.
He felt that the old man was pushing his luck, so he naturally became quite rude in his speech.
Yan Bugui was usually a very shrewd person. Just by looking at Li Chaoyang's expression, he knew he had acted rashly.
But it was too late to regret it.
Before he could explain further, Li Chaoyang had already gone inside with his lunchbox.
He even loudly invited several carpenters over for a meal…
He was completely different from his previous polite demeanor.
Yan Bugui stood at the door for a while, and Zhao Nuohao left the courtyard looking somewhat dejected.
I was careless; I thought Li Chaoyang would be easy to talk to.
I wanted my son to come and work for a couple of days; maybe he'd be happy to get some extra benefits!
But who would have thought that this would result in a complete disaster!
"We shouldn't have let the boss come along!"
......
In the room.
The carpenters thanked Li Chaoyang again.
He opened the lunchbox and was filled with surprise!
"Ouch!"
"Section Chief Li, this old man in your compound is really honest and reliable!"
"It's all noodles with soybean paste, and they all have meat in them!"
"That's certainly a lavish spread!"
"Really?" Li Chaoyang opened his lunchbox with some skepticism.
"It really is..." Even he was a little surprised this time.
But after thinking about it, I realized that Yan Bugui was probably just trying to get his son, Yan Jiekuang, to work for him and earn some money, which was why he was being so honest...
He, who always assumes the worst of people, naturally overthinks things.
However, it cannot be denied that this old man does have some redeeming qualities.
He may be calculating, but at least he's clear-headed...
Li Chaoyang ate while lost in thought...
Ever since Jia Xudong got into trouble, that old hag Jia Zhangshi has made a huge scene.
In the following days, the chaotic No. 39 courtyard became strangely quiet for a while!
Moreover, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu always had faint smiles on their faces when they returned from the hospital every day.
It was as if nothing had happened...
Even when Uncle Yi Zhonghai and that old hag Jia Zhangshi met in the courtyard, they addressed each other as "Uncle" and "Sister-in-law."
The warmth they exuded suggested their relationship was even more intimate than it had been before their falling out...
.......
After getting off work that day, Li Chaoyang leisurely pushed his bike into the courtyard.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi, who had been hurling insults and accusations at Yi Zhonghai just days before, greeting him warmly, made him wonder if time had reversed...

"What are these two up to now?" Li Chaoyang muttered to himself, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
But as soon as they got closer, they heard Jia Zhangshi whisper to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, you'd better hurry up with that thing we agreed on last time, even though the factory will reimburse Xudong for his hospitalization."
"But our family's expenses have been huge these past few days, and we're almost at our breaking point."
"In a few more days, the children at home won't have anything to eat!"
"Hmm..." Yi Zhonghai nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister-in-law."
"I've already discussed it with my second uncle and the others."
"Turn back as soon as possible..." As he was speaking, Yi Zhonghai saw Li Chaoyang and stopped talking.
Seeing that Li Chaoyang was just pushing the cart towards the backyard with a blank expression, they felt relieved.
It seems you didn't hear it.
Following the old man's gaze, Jia Zhangshi turned her head and saw that it was Li Chaoyang. She immediately looked disgusted.
