Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Yi Zhonghai knew something was wrong when he heard it, and just as he was about to speak, Qin Huairu stepped out and said, "Lin Ping, I know you hate me for breaking off the engagement, but my family can't make ends meet anymore. All the Dongxu pension was taken away by my mother-in-law, and I can't get a penny..."

Lin Ping interrupted Qin Huairu and said coldly, "Stop, Qin Huairu, I don't hate you. On the contrary, I want to thank you for not marrying me. Let's not talk about the pension first. The monthly subsidy given to you by the steel mill is almost enough for your family to eat. Besides, it's a different time of the year. No one can eat enough. You still ask everyone to donate? If your family really can't eat, everyone can donate some. Is that really the case? Besides, you save the pension and let everyone donate money to support you. How can this be justified in the world?"

Everyone understood at this moment, and their eyes towards Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family changed immediately.

Yi Zhonghai was a little flustered when he saw this. Liu Haizhong saw it and laughed in his heart. As long as Yi Zhonghai's prestige declined, this uncle would not be his by then, so he also said: "Old Yi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but can you investigate clearly before organizing the donation?"

Qin Huairu saw Lin Ping lift the fig leaf, her eyes were red and she kept crying, but she didn't say a word. Jia Zhangshi was different. She hated the Lin family to begin with, and when she saw Lin Ping making trouble, she said directly: "Little beast, you don't want us to live, I will fight you!"

After saying that, he rushed towards Lin Ping. Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai secretly sneered and thought to himself, let's see how you can argue with that shrew Jia Zhang.

However, as soon as Jia Zhang came to Lin Ping, she was slapped in the face by Lin Ping, making her spin around.

Yi Zhonghai immediately said, "Lin Ping, how could you hit an old man?"

Hearing this, Lin Ping said coldly, "Yi Zhonghai, are you blind? Didn't you see that I was fighting back in self-defense? What kind of old lady is Jia Zhang? At her age, Grandma Zhang still does odd jobs within her ability to supplement the family income. Look at Jia Zhang, she has become fat as a ball. Does she look like a person who is short of food these days? She is lazy and eats all day long. Why should everyone donate money to support her!"

Although Jia Zhang has lost weight, her foundation is still there and she still looks fat.

Lin Ping's words made sense to everyone. At this time, everyone looked at Jia Zhang with a strange look in their eyes. Jia Zhang felt weak and immediately sat on the ground and said, "You are going to force us to death, Old Jia..."

When Jia Zhang threw a tantrum, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up, and he wanted to see how Lin Ping would end up. However, he didn't expect that Lin Ping would directly take out the handcuffs from his waist and said, "Jia Zhang, if you are promoting feudal superstition, I will invite you to a good place."

Jia Zhang looked at the shining handcuffs and the sound suddenly stopped. She got up and ran back to her home and never came out again.

Everyone laughed when they saw this. Xu Damao gave Lin Ping a thumbs up and said, "You have to be the one to cure Jia Zhang."

Lin Ping shook his head and looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Yi Zhonghai, if you want to help the Jia family, just do it yourself. You can do it yourself with just 100 yuan a month. Why do you need to ask everyone to help you support the Jia family?"

Lin Shanhai and Wang Xiuzhi watched from the side without saying a word. They had no sympathy for Yi Zhonghai and the others, as they had not forgotten the revenge of him forcing their son to go to the battlefield after he robbed their house.

Yi Zhonghai was forced into a corner by a junior. He hated Lin Ping to death, but he had no way to refute him and didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, the deaf old lady sighed, stood up and said, "Zhong Hai, you did something wrong. Return the money to everyone. The Jia family is not at the end of its rope yet."

Yi Zhonghai walked down the stairs and said, "Yes, the old lady is right. I was not thoughtful enough."

After all the money was returned, Yi Zhonghai announced the adjournment of the meeting with a sullen face. He had really lost face today.

After the meeting, Xu Damao said to Lin Ping, "Pingzi, how about we go over to my place and have a drink together?"

Lin Ping thought that although Xu Damao was a villain, he had never offended him. He couldn't make the relationship awkward, otherwise they would become enemies. Although he was not afraid, it would be troublesome, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Xu Damao's house in the backyard.

Lou Xiao'e smiled at Lin Ping and said, "Pingzi, you chat with Damao, I'll go get you some food."

Soon two cold dishes were placed on the table, and Xu Damao raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's go first."

After a glass of wine, Xu Damao sighed, "Pingzi, you are the only one in this courtyard who can stand up to Yi Zhonghai. No one else can do it. I have suffered a lot from them."

Lin Ping naturally knew what Xu Damao was talking about, but he didn't want to get too close to Xu Damao. After all, Xu Damao was a mean person, so he waved his hand and said, "It's not that I can go against him, I'm just reasoning with him."

Xu Damao smiled bitterly and said, "Pingzi, let's not talk nonsense. If you didn't have this security chief to back you up, do you think Yi Zhonghai would let it go? But I know Yi Zhonghai's character. You should be careful and don't let him scheme against you."

Knowing that Xu Damao meant well, Lin Ping smiled and said, "Thank you, Damao. I will pay attention to it."

Xu Damao stopped there, knowing that he and Lin Ping were not that familiar with each other yet, and he did not ask him to take care of himself, so they started chatting about all sorts of things, but Xu Damao drank and ate, and soon he lay down on the table.

Lou Xiao'e said embarrassedly: "Pingzi, don't laugh at me. Damao is like this. He likes to drink even though he can't."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Xiao E, Damao and I grew up in the same courtyard, so I know what he is like."

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "That's good. Come and have a few drinks with Damao if you have nothing to do."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Okay, I understand." Then he turned and left.

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao are in the honeymoon period at this time, so of course she hopes well for Xu Damao. Being able to be on good terms with Lin Ping will only benefit Xu Damao and not harm him, so Lou Xiao'e will naturally consider Xu Damao's interests.

Sunday came in the blink of an eye, at the Yan family's front yard.

Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiecheng who had just dressed up and said, "You have to behave well later. This girl from the Yu family is quite good. If it weren't for the difficulties at home, you wouldn't have been chosen."

Yan Jiecheng nodded and said, "Dad, I understand. I will definitely do my best."

As they were talking, the voice of Matchmaker Zhang was heard from outside the yard.

"Is Teacher Yan at home? I brought her to you, girl."

Grandma Zhang in the courtyard and Wang Cui'e, the daughter-in-law of the Liu family in the west wing, saw Zhang the matchmaker walk in with a pretty girl and call her Teacher Yan. They knew that she was telling the eldest son of the Yan family that his daughter-in-law was coming.

Therefore, both of them looked at Yu Li, thinking that this girl was really good, especially since Wang Cui'e's son Liu Yuanchao was already nineteen years old and almost old enough to think about a wife. However, there was a famine and people were starving, so they had no time to think about other things, so they were not in a hurry. Seeing Yu Li at this time, they couldn't help but feel envious. In addition to Grandma Zhang, there was another family in the south room, but they were not at home because they had gone out to help with the construction.

Wang Cui'e's husband Liu Laonian also works in the steel rolling mill. He is a fourth-level fitter and works in the same workshop as Lin Shanhai. They have two sons. The eldest, Liu Yuanchao, is nineteen and still unemployed, while the second son, Liu Jianshe, is fourteen and attends the same middle school as He Yushui.

Grandma Zhang said to Wang Cui'e, "Cui'e, this girl is really good, but I don't know if she can succeed."

Upon hearing this, Wang Cui'e curled her lips and said, "Third Master is so stingy. It will be a pain for this girl to marry into this family. I don't think it will work out." She thought to herself that if it doesn't work out, she could go and ask matchmaker Zhang for information about the girl.

Grandma Zhang sighed and said, "Is there still any choice these days? To marry off a daughter at this time shows how difficult the family is."

Wang Cui'e was also stunned when she heard this. Yes, what is there to say these days? Being alive is already good enough, otherwise his family would have asked their son about it a long time ago, because they were afraid that they couldn't afford to feed another mouth at home.

Not to mention what the two of them were thinking, Yan Fugui's mouth was grinning at this time. He was so satisfied with this girl Yu Li. Yan Jiecheng was also very satisfied with Li. Although she could not compare with Lin Qingya, she was still a good girl. Therefore, he was also very attentive to Li.

Aunt San watched Yu Li busying around happily. Yan Fugui spent a lot of money today, buying a chicken and a fish. The chicken was bought at the market, and the fish was caught by himself yesterday afternoon. It didn't cost anything, but it was still a big meal in this day and age.

Matchmaker Zhang was very pleased with the banquet and kept saying nice things to Yu Li. Yu Li blushed and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

However, Yu Li ate too much at this meal. She hadn't had meat for a long time. She lowered her head embarrassedly, fearing that the Yan family would think she was a big eater.

After the meal, the blind date was very successful. Yu Li was quite satisfied with Yan Jiecheng. In fact, even if she was not satisfied, it didn't matter. Her family could no longer afford to support her. So her purpose of coming to the blind date was very obvious, which was to get married and reduce the burden on her family. Therefore, the blind date standards were not that important. Besides, Yan Jiecheng was a formal worker in the steel rolling mill.

Because the Yu family was anxious, they got the marriage certificate three days later. They didn't even have a wedding. They just distributed some wedding candies to every household and considered it a marriage. This made Wang Cui'e very disappointed.

Ever since Yan Jiecheng got married, Sha Zhu has been anxious. He is the only single person in the courtyard, or he is not old enough. So today, when He Yushui came back from school, he was stopped by Sha Zhu before he even went to the west wing.

He Yushui asked in confusion: "Silly brother, why are you stopping me? I finally came back and I want to go play with Xuanxuan."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and said, "Yushui, your brother is so old now, shouldn't he find you a sister-in-law?"

He Yushui's eyes lit up when he heard this and asked, "Silly brother, are you getting married? Where is your sister-in-law from?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't have a partner yet."

He Yushui was disappointed when she heard this: "Then what did you tell me? If you want to get married, go find someone."

Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "Yushui, do you think it's okay for your sister Qingya to be your sister-in-law?"

He Yushui looked at Sha Zhu as if he were a fool, then touched his forehead and said, "Sha Ge, you don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu said with a dark face: "What are you talking about? I am a chef after all, am I not worthy of a country girl?"

He Yushui rolled his eyes at Sha Zhu and said, "Brother Sha, forget it. You and Sister Qingya are not suitable."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu said anxiously, "No, why is it inappropriate?"

He Yushui looked at Sha Zhu and sighed, "Brother, let's not talk about how you look. It's hard to find someone like Sister Qingya. Besides, you said she's a country girl, but think about it, with Brother Pingzi's ability, will Sister Qingya be unemployed in the future? She will definitely be able to eat commercial grain in the future, so don't worry about it."

Sha Zhu was discouraged when he heard this, but he also knew that what the girl said was true, so he said, "But I won't give up until I try."
