Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"what happened?"

Sha Zhu, who was eating, heard the sound, stood at the door with his bowl in hand and asked.

Many neighbors also came out.

Even Yi Zhonghai was coming over.

"I hit a nail, it's a little deep."

Jia Dongxu threw the socks aside and called Qin Huairu to get out the cloth.

"Don't rush to bandage it. If it's too deep, you'll have to go to the hospital for disinfection. There's rust on the nail, and if it gets infected, your foot will be ruined."

"How could I kick a nail for no reason?"

Yi Zhonghai also bent down to look at the board.

"It was Yi Bufan, that Yi Bufan. He deliberately put the wooden board at the door to harm me. He must pay compensation!"

When Jia Zhang heard that going to the hospital would cost money, she knew she had to find someone to spend the money.

"Master, someone cleans our yard every other day. This wooden board shouldn't be here. I think Yi Bufan put it there on purpose."

Who is Jia Dongxu? Like mother, like son. Naturally, he understood Jia Zhang's thoughts at once.

"Yes, these random wooden boards and other things are usually thrown around in this small yard."

"It is definitely Yi Bufan's intention to show up here now. He just doesn't want us to pile up these sundries in this yard."

Jia Zhang endured the pain and poured dirty water on Yi Bufan.

The rest of the neighbors were also whispering there, just watching the fun.

As for who is right or wrong, who cares? Between the newcomer and the shrew, everyone would rather offend the newcomer.

"Go call Yi Bufan."

Yi Zhonghai frowned.

If possible, he didn't want to make things difficult for the young man, as he always felt that they were destined to be together.

"Are you guys discussing moving the things in this yard?"

Just when Sha Zhu was holding the bowl and was about to call for help, Yi Bufan came out.

"Move your ass, you have to pay first!"

Jia Zhang got angry when she saw Yi Bufan.

"Compensation? Compensation for what? Did I break something?"

Yi Bufan turned his head to look at the messy things, then looked back again.

"That's not right. We agreed that if these things are broken or lost, it's none of my business."

Yi Bufan looked confused.

"Don't play dumb. When did you deliberately put this board here?"

Jia Dongxu pointed to the wooden board next to him.

"Wooden board?" Yi Bufan walked over, squatted down and took a look.

"You can't wrongly accuse me of this. I'm upset just looking at this pile of garbage. My wife even wants to divorce me."

"Every day when I go out, I close my eyes and walk out. I don't even want to look, so how could I possibly touch it?"

"Oh, there is blood on the nail, who donated blood?"

Yi Bufan exclaimed, causing the surrounding neighbors to laugh.

"Yi Bufan, you were definitely the one who put the board there. Now I'm stabbed. You have to pay me."

Jia Zhang glared at Yi Bufan and refused to give in.

"Do you have any evidence to prove that I was the one who put it there?" Yi Bufan said as he looked around the yard, then at the board, and suddenly realized something.

"Oh, now I remember, this wooden board was originally in that position. You kicked it after this guy gave me the money yesterday."

Yi Bufan said this, walked back to his original position and demonstrated it again.

"Look, that's what happened. You kicked the board from here to there. It looked like you did it yourself."

After Yi Bufan’s demonstration, many neighbors began to recall.

"It seems to be the case. I was almost kicked by Jia Zhang yesterday."

“I think I saw it, too.”

"That's true. I tried to help my daughter and almost got beaten."

"This wooden board should have fallen off the table."

"..."

Several neighbors quickly reconstructed the scene.

"Look, Aunt Jia, the public has sharp eyes. You really kicked the board here yourself."

Yi Bufan had a harmless smile on his face.

"Humph, whose table is that? The board that fell from your table injured me, you have to pay me!"

Jia Zhang had no choice but to change her target.

"That table should have been discarded by your family during the Chinese New Year last year. I helped Brother Dongxu put it there."

Sha Zhu put the bowl on the windowsill and pointed to the table next to it.

"If you don't talk, no one will think you're dumb."

Jia Zhang looked at Sha Zhu with anger.

"Isn't this what you asked? I answered you, shouldn't you thank me?"

Sha Zhu wiped his mouth.

"Okay, Dongxu, take your mother to the hospital for disinfection and bandage."

Yi Zhonghai also realized that the truth had come to light and stopped dragging it out.

"Yes, go disinfect it quickly. There are a lot of embroidery on this nail. If you get tetanus, your foot will have to be sawed off."

"If it's delayed any longer and the infection gets more serious, I'm afraid my leg will be ruined."

Yi Bufan also had a concerned look on his face, and seemed very anxious.

"Ah, quick, Dongxu, carry me to the hospital."

Jia Zhang stood up from the stone in an instant, and she wanted her leg back.

"Wait a minute, I'll get the money!"

Jia Dongxu didn't react.

"No, I have money, let's go!"

Jia Zhang climbed onto Jia Dongxu's back without saying anything.

"Everyone, please be careful when you come around my yard next time. Don't come to me if you get bumped or bruised."

"If you ask me, you might as well move out earlier. It would be fine if you could just light a fire."

"If this table doesn't belong to the Jia family today, I guess you'll have to pay them money. It won't be less than ten or eight yuan."

Yi Bufan was still very friendly and placed the wooden board on the windowsill of the Jia family.

"You are too narrow-minded. Jia Zhang wants compensation, and the minimum amount is two hundred. You better be careful next time."

This is just a friendly reminder.

"It's not that serious. The neighbors in the yard are all easy to get along with. Just come to me if you have any problems."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Sha Zhu.

"Yes, we are easy to get along with. My house is almost empty. When you have time, please move the things in the yard."

Yi Bufan glanced around and said, "I don't believe you at all."

After hearing this, everyone acted as if nothing had happened and left as they went about their business.

Shazhu didn't leave, but looked at the other side with a stupid face.

Yi Bufan followed Sha Zhu's gaze and saw Qin Huairu, who still had her charm.

A ponytail was casually draped at the back, and judging from the length, it was already past the chest.

Those two eyes were indeed somewhat pitiful, as if tears would flow out if he blinked.

The nose is a bit high and the mouth is small, no wonder Sha Zhu is obsessed with her.

As for the clothes, are they the kind that are tied with knots on the sides, and are purely hand-sewn.

The three patches on the clothes and pants indicate that the family is not well off and the status is average, but this is the case for most people in that era.

To be honest, this figure is still good in this era. It's not skinny, but has some flesh and should feel good.

As for the internal drive, that is not clear.

The slightly bulging belly probably means a baby is growing.

At this moment, Qin Huairu was looking at Yi Bufan, perhaps feeling that this new guy was a little strange.

Because this is the first person who has not been taken advantage of by her mother-in-law.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are drooling."

Yi Bufan kindly reminded him, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
