Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

(Story abridged)

The next morning, Ning Yuan got up early again, went to the supply and marketing cooperative first, asked someone to install the glass in his house, and then went to the department store to buy all the pots, pans, and other items that needed to be replaced at home.

This morning, Ning Yuan didn't even have time to go to Xiaoshi to store food. After hurriedly buying the things needed for the family, Ning Yuan returned to the compound. At this time, Zhong Yuemin had also gotten up.

"Yuemin, take a look at your house to see if there's anything else you need to fix. We have nothing to do this afternoon, so let's go to the market!"

Ning Yuan just got home and sat down when he saw Zhong Yuemin pushing the door open. He was also tidying up the pots and pans he had just bought, so he said.

"Let's talk about it this afternoon at my house. I live alone, so there's no rush. Why are you going out so early in the morning?" Zhong Yuemin said in surprise as he looked at the bottles and jars Ning Yuan brought back.

"If I don't get up early, I won't have time to buy these things! I still have to go to Shichahai to look for Du Weidong later."

Ning Yuan was talking to Zhong Yuemin while putting the plates and bowls in order.

"Yeah, oh my, these little chores are what give my mom a headache the most. Hurry up and do it. You have nothing to do this afternoon, so you can help me put these things away."

Zhong Yuemin is a free and easy-going person, how could he do such a thing?

"Ning Yuan, let me tell you, it's really that Ma Qingyang's grandson was arrested, otherwise I really want to stab him a couple more times. He's really looking for trouble. I've never been so humiliated!"

Zhong Yuemin found a chair and sat down. His hands were not very nimble, so he asked Xiao Ningwei to pour him a glass of water.

"Don't worry, Yuemin. This isn't the end of the matter. That bastard under Ma Qingyang slapped my two brothers. I'll find a chance to cripple him one of these two days. I'm going to make sure he doesn't survive the New Year!"

Ning Yuan felt angry every time he saw the slap marks on Ning Wei's face.

The two of them chatted while sorting out the belongings they had bought, and they finished everything in more than half an hour.

Just as we finished our work here, we heard the voices of Fatty Fan and Zou Cheng and others at the door.

Sure enough, it was not even nine o'clock yet, but we guys got up early and rushed here.

"You guys are up early today!" Ning Yuan was a little tired after working for half a day. He was half lying and half sitting on the sofa, and did not get up to greet them.

"Didn't we make an appointment with that Japanese guy Du Weidong to meet at Shichahai later? How can we brothers miss this fun?" Fatty Fan shouted.

Ning Yuan laughed out loud when he heard this. They really are a bunch of people who are just looking for chaos in the world.

They were joking in Ningyuan's room when they heard another noise at the door.

Ning Yuan couldn't help but look towards the door.

Wow! There was a huge crowd at the door, and a large group of young people from the compound came over together.

Zhang Haiyang, Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong and others all entered the house and quarreled with each other for a while. Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin could no longer sit still. It was almost time to set off.

There were originally more than 30 of them as a group of ruffians in the compound, and yesterday seven or eight more guys came to help out, so the team expanded to more than 40 people.

Ning Yuan, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang led the way, each pushing their bicycle out of their compound.

A large group of buddies followed closely behind him.

More than 40 people rode their bicycles and rushed towards Shichahai with great arrogance.

More than half an hour later, Ning Yuan and his friends finally arrived at the Shichahai Lake.

Du Weidong also brought more than ten people and waited here early.

Finally, Du Weidong saw a large group of young people from the compound riding towards him from a distance, and he finally felt relieved.

"Weidong, where the hell did Ning Yuan get so many people together? He's surrounded by so many people, it's almost as grand as Li Yuanchao's!"

A tall young man with a short flat head and a strong build came up to Du Weidong and sighed.

"You fucking ask me, who the hell should I ask?" Du Weidong said to the tall young man in a bad mood, and then he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

After three or five minutes, Ning Yuan and his group also rode to Du Weidong's group.

Several people greeted each other with an American military salute.

"What's the matter, Weidong? Lead the way. You've come here from far away, so finish the job as soon as possible!" Ning Yuan urged Du Weidong.

"Alright, the teams have finally gathered together. Brothers, let's go!"

Du Weidong waved his hand and led more than 50 people behind him towards Zhushikou area.

Ning Yuan was quite familiar with this road, after all, Chen Liangzi and his group of Buddhist masters lived in this area.

It didn't take long before a group of people, led by Du Weidong, found the family that had caused them a great loss.

Du Weidong took the lead and parked his bicycle at the entrance of the alley. Ning Yuan, Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang and others also parked their bicycles and walked into the alley.

"Hey, this is the third or fourth household. Hey, do you remember which one it was last time?"

After walking for a while, Du Weidong began to hesitate between the third and fourth households.

"Brother Dong, I don't remember it very well!" A young man behind Du Weidong said embarrassedly.

"What can you remember? All you know is eating!" Du Weidong was so angry that he slapped the young man.

"Hey, you got it, isn't it? You just didn't remember which one. That's easy. There are only two households. Wouldn't it be a big deal if you went into each one and took a look?"

Zhang Haiyang was standing by the door of the third household. Seeing Du Weidong's conflicted look, he spoke directly.

As he spoke, he kicked open the simple wooden door beside him.

Ning Yuan instinctively wanted to stop them, but when he saw that Zhang Haiyang had already led a group of young men into the yard, and Du Weidong also led his men in, he didn't say anything more and followed them in.

"Oh, that's right, it's this yard, this house, buddy, remember the big vat in the yard!"

When Du Weidong came in, he saw a large water tank in the northwest corner of the yard and instantly recognized it.

"Which room do they live in?" Ning Yuan walked forward and asked.

"These three main rooms belong to their family. It seems those hutong bastards aren't here today. What a pity!"

Du Weidong found this family, but did not see the group of Hutong youths who had quarreled with them that day. He couldn't help feeling a little regretful at this moment. He had finally brought so many people here!

"What a pity! Hurry up and do your job. When you're done, treat the brothers to lunch!" Zhong Yuemin said as he impatiently slapped Du Weidong.

"Ah?" Du Weidong looked at Zhong Yuemin in disbelief.

How can your mouth, which is 37 degrees Celsius, speak words that are 15 degrees Celsius below zero!

"What the hell! So many buddies have come all the way here to support you early in the morning. Isn't it your duty to treat them to a meal?" Zhang Haiyang also agreed with a smile.
