I make a living solving crimes.

Chapter 9 Magic defeats magic

When Yang Min heard someone knocking on the door, he stood up immediately.

Chang Wei stopped his mother, put the sarong back on, stood up and opened the door. He looked outside and recognized the person, then politely said, "Uncle, why are you here?"

There were no street lights in the yard and the lighting was very poor. A middle-aged man in his forties with a short flat head could not be clearly seen in the shadow of the eaves.

Yi Zhonghai did not enter the house. After all, this was a widow's house. He stood outside the door and asked seriously, "Did your family give you the lard residue from Banggeng?"

Chang Wei was a little displeased when he heard the tone, and said with a gloomy face: "I gave the lard residue to Yan Jiedi, but Bang Geng snatched it away. What's the matter, what can I do for you, uncle?"

Yi Zhonghai could tell that Chang Wei's tone was hostile, and said in a muffled voice, "You gave it to Yan Jiedi, why didn't you give the stick? If you gave them all, why did we quarrel today?"

Chang Wei was so angry that he laughed. What kind of logic was this? Not to mention that Bang Geng didn't even ask for it. Even if he did, what kind of law would it be against if he didn't give it to him?

He was too lazy to explain and asked, "Master, why do I need the courtyard to judge who I give my own food to?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Yang Min, who was silent and had a stern face, and said in a soft voice, "We are all from the same courtyard, so we should pay attention to unity and friendship, and don't be too petty with each other."

Chang Wei laughed contemptuously, he knew this was the rhetoric.

Is this a drama or a book?

Chang Wei was thinking about something else and shook his head. "What the uncle said is really interesting. Nowadays, when visiting relatives, everyone brings food coupons. Who can have an extra bite of food? This will be a big joke. There are Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang in the front yard, and Liu Guangfu in the back yard. They are all little guys. Do I have to give them food when they come?"

Yi Zhonghai actually nodded seriously, "A courtyard is a big family. You are older than them, so you should take care of the younger ones."

Chang Wei was dumbfounded, he didn't know how to respond.

Just when I was about to argue, he suddenly stopped talking, nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I got it, sir. I'll pay attention next time."

There is no need to reason with this jerk old man. It's a waste of time. He is standing on the moral high ground in his words and deeds. He wants to live in harmony with the whole compound. If there is a quarrel, it will be embarrassing and Chang Wei will only be blamed for being ignorant.

Yi Zhonghai lectured her a few more times, and when he heard the sound of Yang Min impatiently shaking her chopsticks on the dining table in the room, he could only leave angrily.

Chang Wei closed the door and came back. The gloom on his face disappeared immediately. He smiled and opened the sarong to invite his family to eat. While distributing cornmeal steamed bread, he also instructed the younger ones.

Yang Min remained silent, listening to Chang Wei's words with a faint smile on her lips.

I beat four steamed eggs and made a big bowl of it. It was a pity that there was no rice at home, otherwise it would be so delicious to have eggs and rice.

There couldn't be any more leftover braised pork today, Chang Wei wanted them to finish it. Yang Min watched the little ones eating happily, and thought of her eldest daughter who was still suffering in her husband's house, and couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know if your eldest sister ate it or not."

Chang Wei was silent for a while, then stood up and found a bowl. He took out two pieces of meat and some fried cabbage with lard residue, and said softly, "Mom, I'll ask the third brother to bring it over later."

Yang Min thought for a moment and said, "The Bai family is in the same courtyard. It would be inappropriate for the third child to bring the vegetables with him."

Chang Wei said, "The third child is young and runs fast, no one pays attention to the children, so let the eldest sister close the door and eat."

Yang Min didn't say anything else and put two more steamed buns on the bowl.

Chang Wei had a fight with the second son of the Bai family. At that time, he was smaller and suffered the loss. From then on, he refused to set foot in the Bai family's yard again.

The meal was eaten very quickly, and the three children were only about 60% full. Chang Wei winked at Chang Long, and the fourth child opened the door and ran away. After a quarter of an hour, he came back and said, "Brother, it's done."

Chang Wei stood up, picked up the little girl, and led Chang Tian and Chang Long out the door. Yang Min smiled and shook her head, but did not stop them.

Yi Zhonghai's visit today was really a bit bullying.

If her man were still alive, would he dare to be so presumptuous?

Chang Wei walked to the middle courtyard with the three children. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai's family was preparing to have dinner, he walked into the house without caring and sat down at the dining table, saying, "Uncle, there is not enough food at home. We are not full. Let's eat at your house."

The old lady opened her eyes wide, puzzled.

Yi Zhonghai saw Chang Wei's arrogant look, his brows knitted, his eyes filled with anger, and his voice became low, "If you are not full, go back and eat by yourself, why are you coming to my house?"

Chang Wei was not afraid of him, and shouted, "Uncle, that's not what you said at my doorstep just now. You said that everyone in the compound is a family, and we should help each other and unite and love each other, and the older ones should take care of the younger ones. We don't have enough to eat here, so we come to your house to get a meal, and you want to drive me away? Then what you said just now was bullshit?"

After saying that, he took the cornmeal steamed bread in the big bowl on the table and gave one to each of the three little ones. Liu Guangfu and Jia Banggeng were there watching the fun at the door, so he gave them two more.

Liu Guangfu happily took it, without even saying thank you, and started eating it in his hand.

Jia Bang’s joke is even more amazing. He ran in and took another one.

Yi Zhonghai was unable to catch his breath and nearly choked himself to death.

The aunt didn't dare to stop him, as his family was not short of food, but what was going on?

Yi Zhonghai finally managed to even out his breathing, pointed at the steamed bread and said, "Take it, take it, take it and leave quickly."

What could he say? Nothing.

Chang Wei didn't even look at him. He took the three little ones and each of them took a steamed bread and left. As he walked, he taught his brothers and sisters, "Have you said thank you to the uncle?"

"Thank you, uncle."

"Remember, if no one is home in the future and you are hungry, come to Uncle's house to eat. We are a big family, and he is older than you, so he should give you food."

"Okay, brother, we'll remember that."

"Uncle, his steamed buns are not good."

The little girl actually disliked it.

Yi Zhonghai sat in the room, looking at the backs of the Chang brothers, and became angrier the more he thought about it.

Several steamed breads were taken away, and the aunt could only stand up and knead the dough to make it again. While kneading the dough, she asked: "Old Yi, what happened to Chang Wei today?"

Yi Zhonghai smashed his own foot, but he couldn't explain why. He could only say angrily: "This kid is becoming more and more unruly."

The aunt thought that the Chang family's child was quite good. It was the first time that he came to ask for food today. After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, she consoled him, "Maybe his family really has run out of food. Don't bother with the child."

"Bullshit, he did it on purpose."

Yi Zhonghai swore a few times, took a breath and suppressed his anger before saying, "I've always thought this kid is not a good guy. Before, he was under his father's control. At that time, Chang Kun was the boss, so I couldn't say anything. Today, I just taught him a lesson and he got ahead of me."

The aunt asked curiously, "What did you teach him today?"

Yi Zhonghai then told the story of the front yard, and finally said, "If he hadn't been unfair and given one but not the other, would Jia Zhang have quarreled with Old Yan and the others?"

The lady stopped kneading the dough and asked, "Did Jia Dongxu say anything to you?"

The aunt always had an indescribable feeling towards her disciple Yi Zhonghai.

He looks handsome, but what he does is a bit unpresentable.
