Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Zhao Lichun hasn't finished his pills yet. He really doesn't want to protect any supplies... which is why he asked the question that everyone is most concerned about first.

Liu Haizhong looked at the other party and chuckled confidently: "There seem to be more than twenty! This time everyone needs to stand up straight. Those with grudges, settle their scores; those with grievances, settle their scores... If they want to double-cross us, we'll give them a surprise attack."

Before leaving, everyone was made to wear groin protectors, even though having more people is an advantage. However, we can't rule out the possibility of accidents happening in the dark, so it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Upon hearing that the other side only had about twenty people, everyone's anxiety finally subsided.

"Alright! Let's give them a dumpling-making session this time... I've disliked them ever since we met at that tavern!"

Zhao Lichun and Zhong Zhengguo were beaten down in the tavern, but now the two young men are back on their feet.

However, they are no longer cooperating this time, and Zhong Zhengguo is now closer to Chen Yanshi. Zhao Lichun is following Yi Zhonghai and his group, since Lao Yi, Lao Qiao, and Er Qiang still have some influence.

There are now over forty men and women in the courtyard, young and old. If you add Li Daniu and her shrewish wives, you could easily pull out fifty. And the twenty-odd people at the front gate are just asking for a beating…

As for why Liu Haizhong knew so much, no one dared to ask, even if he didn't. After all, asking too many questions would raise suspicions of ulterior motives. Just follow along, as long as your wife and children have food and drink. Nothing else matters…

In the crowd, Nan Yi quietly patted Cui Dake on the shoulder; the relationship between the two brothers remained unbreakable.

Cui Dake's wife, Feng, is about to give birth, and he wants to treat her to a big feast.

Meanwhile, Li Dabao began to quietly remind Erbao and the little donkey to stay close to him...

The small groups within the courtyard were all scheming their own agendas.

However, the people in the courtyard weren't fools. Some had already guessed that the messenger was likely Fan Jinyou and his group. After all, they knew the most about the news from the front gate, and others really wouldn't receive the messages.

Lin Chen instructed Liu Haizhong not to rush to expose the little monkey, and Liu Haizhong obeyed. He did whatever Brother Lin told him to do, and dared not ask why.

More than twenty people followed Liu Haizhong and a few other old guys to meet up with Guo Dapiezi and his group.

After everyone left, Old Master Wang woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. The medical bills had already been delivered. He needed to get treatment as soon as possible…

Ma Banjie and Qi Wei had already been called out, and the old man lay alone on the kang (a heated brick bed) sighing.

"What should I do? I shouldn't have gone back to Beijing."

There's no going back in life. Others are envious of those two thousand yuan. But Master Wang doesn't care. It's just a few small yellow croakers; he's not short of money.

Now, even turning over is painful for Wang Baye, who tremblingly touched his injured spot, and his heart immediately sank to the ground.

"What am I going to do! If Xu Damao is missing even one child, he'll need ten years of treatment. How am I supposed to live the rest of my life?!"

Everyone in the hospital knew that Xu Damao needed long-term treatment, and Old Master Wang had naturally heard about it too. Now, all his hopes were pinned on Brother Lin…

These days, even if it means selling everything they own, a wealthy man will still get medical treatment. A man has to be a real man. Who the hell wants to be a eunuch, especially if they have money?

After withdrawing his hand, Wang Baye couldn't help but shed tears again... The more severely the old man was injured, the stronger his resentment would become. He now wanted to kill everyone in that room. He didn't want to let a single one of them go; only by killing them all could he vent his hatred.

"You all just wait! You're all going to die, just like I said."

After making his threats, Master Wang began to plot. He had initially thought he could easily handle these people. Now, it seemed he could no longer worry about saving face! He needed to activate all his hidden cards…

Old Master Wang hadn't summoned his accomplices, meaning he didn't take the people of the courtyard seriously. But things are different now! Judging from what's happened these past few months, one person's strength isn't enough to deal with these peasants. Only by awakening the other migratory birds can they succeed…

Lin Chen didn't destroy his secret hideout because he was waiting for the people summoned by Master Wang to enter Beijing.

One by one, we'll wipe them out, and then we'll have squeezed every last bit of value out of the turtle!

This side of the front door

Both Master Niu and Master Pian arrived in the West District with a group of men. However, because Master Pian had something to hide, he didn't just send twenty men from the front gate this time.

Instead, after Qiangzi left, Pianye, fearing it wasn't safe, added ten more people, and the group of over thirty people was also divided into two groups.

However, four unfamiliar faces had infiltrated the group of young men that Pianye had temporarily recruited.

Although Lin Chen arranged for Liu Haizhong to teach the little monkey a lesson, he also kept a backup plan for Yi Zhonghai and Qi Wei's group.

The courtyard house can win, but it must be a Pyrrhic victory. Secretary Lin doesn't want some people to enjoy tomorrow's grand feast...

After everyone left through the front gate, a young man asked somewhat nervously.

"I hope this time, Master Niu, the authorities won't get involved! I don't want to end up in the police station again."

Niu Ye patted the other man on the shoulder and laughed, "What are you afraid of, kid? The supplies you get are all yours."

The old swindler chimed in, "There are only about ten of them. Qiangzi has already sent the intelligence. Everyone, just focus on getting things done! Chicken, fish, meat, and eggs will be served in two or three carts! First come, first served, no exceptions..."

Encouraged by the two old men, the group of young men now howled like wolf cubs. Who wouldn't want some meat to eat, especially meat from the black market?

"Let's do this! I'm going to snatch a chicken for my wife to help her recover..."

"Qiangzi still has some conscience, otherwise he would beat him every time he sees him."

……

the other side

Because Director Hao risked his life to accompany the gentleman tonight, he almost vomited his gall when he got home... Jin Yueji and her daughter stayed by his side to help take care of him even though it was late at night.

"You two don't need to worry about me, go to sleep! You've both had a hard night..."

Jin Yueji gave her man a disappointed look.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you drink so much?! You're making people sick with your vomit, do you know that?"

Hao Dongmei shook her mother's arm to try and calm her down.

"Mom, don't blame Dad. He was just trying to complete the task assigned by the provincial party committee. Secretary Lin has already agreed to help, so Dad has to appease him!"

Old Hao had been fussing for several hours and was now much more sober. He was very satisfied with his daughter's way of smoothing things over.

“Dongmei is absolutely right! I was just completing a task! You don’t know Secretary Lin’s background, you don’t understand! This young man has a limitless future…”

Jin Yueji had never met Lin Chen, so she was unaware of his excellence... but she knew that he was the youngest major general and department head in the country.

"Old Zhou's wife just came to see me! She said they're going to Qingdao to take up their new post in a few days and want our Dongmei to stay in Beijing to be with Xiaobai. What do you think about this?"
