Lin Chen had just returned home when Xiao Wenya came running over to report on the results of the past few days.

They claimed to be reporting their achievements, but they were really just there to claim credit. They were so close to infiltrating their ranks…

"Brother Lin Chen, they've been so friendly to me these past two days! This morning they even told me to go home at noon to discuss not going back to the courtyard house tonight, since Zhou Xiaobai's parents are going to Qingdao today. They invited me to stay at their house tonight, and they even want to treat me to something nice."

For the past few days, Li Wenya had been playing the role of prey, completely unaware that Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei were walking right into a trap. They were only thinking about getting to know Lin Chen's neighbors first, and had no idea that Li Wenya had been pretending to be a lamb all along.

"Yes, they're probably waiting for you to invite them to stay overnight at the courtyard house. It seems our plan is about to succeed..."

The little girl covered her mouth and chuckled to herself; she thought the same thing. She'd invite them tonight, after all, it's only fair to reciprocate!

"I've got it! I'll be flexible... I'll make sure none of them escape, and I'll braid their hair into two little pigtails."

Xiao Wenya knew that her brother Lin Chen had a special fondness for two little braids, so this time she could get a new one.

Lin Chen just grinned mischievously at the smug little girl and didn't say anything...

"The courtyard house isn't a place they can come to often, so I'll prepare a small courtyard for you in advance! Anyway, you'll have to have one sooner or later, but this is a secret between the two of us. You can't tell Sister Bai Ling and the others, or I'll get scolded."

When Li Wenya heard that she was going to be given a courtyard right now, she almost jumped up with excitement.

When Sister Yanzi was assigned a small courtyard last time, Li Wenya wondered when it would be her turn to be assigned a house.

"Mmm, I promise I won't tell. We'll make it our little nest..."

After mentally berating himself, Lin Chen went to Uncle Gun's place next door. It was time to recoup the two thousand yuan in medical fees!

Old Li paid for the medical expenses, so you can't waste your money.

As soon as Lin Chen arrived at the East Courtyard, he encountered Su's daughter-in-law, who was washing clothes by the pool and silently shedding tears.

Upon seeing Lin Chen approach, the young woman hurriedly wiped away her tears and greeted him with a bitter smile.

"Uncle Lin, you're back! Are you thirsty? I'll go back inside and get you some water."

Lin Chen stopped and coughed lightly: "No need. Did San Guang bully you again?"

When the old man asked her that question, the young woman burst into tears again!

The Li family was originally marrying up to the Su family; she married Su Chunguang simply to have enough to eat. Now, everyone in the courtyard is celebrating good news, but she's the only one whose belly is empty. So much time has passed since their marriage, and still no sign of a baby…

My in-laws have been urging me to have a grandson for years, and now even my two older sisters-in-law aren't speaking up for me! How am I supposed to live like this?

"Uncle Lin, can you take a look at me? Why is there still no sign of pregnancy in my stomach? Is there something wrong with me?"

The women in the ward all knew that Lin Chen didn't see a gynecologist, precisely because they were afraid someone would take advantage of the old man.

Especially after Ma Lan shouted that she was paying Lin Shu to sleep with her for free, the Lin family stopped providing her with gynecological treatment.

"Stop crying! When Sanguang comes back, bring him to my house! I'll see how I get revenge for you... You go ahead and do your thing!"

"Hey, thank you, Uncle Lin, thank you!"

The old man was in charge of everything in the courtyard house, including family disputes. Besides, this wasn't the woman's fault...

Watching Lin Chen's departing figure, the Su family's daughter-in-law felt saved! She helped her sister-in-law take care of her child every day, yet she wasn't well-liked. Wasn't this just bullying?!

"Once I get pregnant with my son, let's see who dares to bully me."

The imbalance of power between women and men in the courtyard house was already a foregone conclusion, and Lin Chen wouldn't allow any male head of household other than himself to hold his head high. Therefore, he wanted to suppress this kid, Su Sanguang…

What kind of skill is it to bully your wife? If you're so capable, go and have a go at Sha Zhu and his gang!

Stick Master's House

When Lin Chen arrived, Ma Banjie was in the kitchen preparing lunch.

"Brother Lin, please have a seat. I've been waiting for you for so long! When will this wait ever end? I eat, drink, and relieve myself on the kang (heated brick bed) every day. Life is unbearable!"

Lin Chen glanced at the doorway again and then lowered his voice.

"The important figure surnamed Li has left Beijing today. I rushed back to tell you the good news as soon as I heard about it. I know you've suffered this time, Eighth Brother!"

When Stick Master heard that the other side had finally left Beijing, he thought, "Good heavens! You beat me up and then ran away? Don't let me run into you again..."

"That's great! Brother Lin, please prescribe the medicine for me! I'll pay any price, as long as it helps me get back to normal."

When Lin Chen heard that the old man still wanted to return to normal, he thought, "Did he drink fake alcohol? You've become a stick-wielding old man, how can you return to normal?"

"Old Eight, you're asking too much of us. Where can you buy medicine that works instantly? Let's take it slow! At least get off the bed first, don't you think?"

Only then did Master Wang realize that he had acted too impulsively! Recovery would have to be done step by step.

"Brother Lin is right, I was too impatient! I'll follow your arrangements..."

Lin Chen then gave the other party a quick check-up. He concluded that the injury was so severe that two thousand yuan wouldn't be enough to repair it.

Evening

Xiao Wenya was pulled back to the naval compound by Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei, one on each side, to spend the night.

As a result, they were caught up by Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun, and Zheng Tong not far from the school gate.

"Yuemin, look! Zhou Xiaobai's new friend is also very pretty."

"Shh, I'm not blind, hurry up and keep up!"

The three mischievous kids followed Li Wenya and her friends at a distance, but not too close, to the Dongcheng District Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

After the two people secretly protecting Wenya discovered this, one of them tried to chase away the three unruly children. However, one of them pulled him back…

"The boss has made arrangements! We're not allowed to intervene this time; we just need to keep a close watch. We'll only take action if things get really bad; let the young mistress handle them herself!"

"But what about those three? What if something goes wrong?"

"No, no, the boss must have a reason for making these arrangements. If we stay close, nothing will go wrong..."

Lin Chen had calculated that once Zhou Xiaobai and Xiao Wenya met, Zhong Yuemin and his gang would definitely come over. This time, he'd let Xiao Wenya beat them to a pulp…

The three girls bought a lot of nice things at the supply and marketing cooperative. Just as they paid and walked out of the cooperative with their purchases, Zhong Yuemin and his two companions surrounded them.

"Zhou Xiaobai, what a coincidence, you're here to buy something too?"

The little girl got angry just looking at the three slovenly men; she never expected to run into them everywhere she went.

"What's it to you? Wenya, let's go..."

At this moment, Yuan Jun stepped forward and blocked the three people's path: "You must be Li Wenya from Class 6! You got first place in the whole grade in this exam, and you also got first place in shooting and target practice. I'm Yuan Jun from Class 1, and these are my brothers Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong..."

Li Wenya was no longer listening to the other person's incessant chatter; instead, she was secretly delighted.

"Brother Lin Chen was right, these guys really came knocking on our door!"
