I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

"Then was it in vain that I was beaten by that little bastard?" Jia Zhang said slurred and fiercely, her triangular eyes filled with viciousness.

"Okay, Mom, you got beaten for nothing. You insulted me by calling me a 'child of a martyr'. If Cao Dongfang didn't beat you but sued you, you would be sentenced to at least 10 years.

If he uses some tricks, you might eat peanuts, but you dare not make trouble again, nor scold their family members. "Jia Dongxu said helplessly.

"I...I won't make trouble anymore, but...my teeth..." Jia Zhang said fearfully.

"Well, take your tooth out. It's like spending money to ward off evil. Don't rob or steal things anymore. You'll be the one who suffers in the end. And don't ever talk about 'feudal superstition' again. You'll be the one who suffers in the end. Now is the time for -

New society!

That doesn't work!

It’s also illegal!

You must remember this. It has a huge impact on our Jia family. People's minds are unpredictable. If someone reports you to the street, you will at least be sent back to your hometown." Jia Dongxu helplessly began to lecture Jia Zhang.

I dare not let Jia Zhang make another big mistake.

"Okay, I get it. I won't call you dad anymore. I just don't want us to be bullied." Jia Zhang argued.

"Mom, I'm grown up now, no one would bully us for no reason, don't worry. There are two families of 'military martyrs' in this yard, don't scold them, it will cause big trouble!" Jia Dongxu said.

"No scolding, I'll remember that." Jia Zhang said hypocritically.

"Huai Ru, you should be more careful at home. I'm afraid our mother won't be able to change her ways for the time being." Jia Dongxu said.

Ok!

.......

"Old Yi, we haven't finished our discussion yet, why are we adjourning the meeting?" Liu Haizhong asked at Yi Zhonghai's home.

"Old Liu, tell everyone not to lock their homes. We need to think about this matter carefully. It will be difficult for us to win over Jia Zhangshi in the 'Civilized Courtyard'. Jia Zhangshi is the most important and needs to be dealt with." Yi Zhonghai said.

"This Jia Zhang needs to be properly disciplined. The people raised by Jia Dongxu are as fat and big-eared as pigs. Nothing has happened to them. I wonder if they will keep quiet for a while." Liu Haizhong said angrily.

"Jia Zhang is in our courtyard. If there is no conflict of interest in other courtyards, there will be no problem and no one would want to pay attention to her. But this time there is a conflict of interest... Old Liu, you know, it is normal to be sued by others." Yi Zhonghai said.

"If something happens to Jia Zhang, the three of us will also suffer the consequences."

"It would be best to send Jia Zhang back to the countryside, so that this compound can be peaceful." Liu Haizhong said.

"Oh, it's not easy. Dongxu is a good kid and he's also my apprentice. I feel embarrassed." Yi Zhonghai said pretentiously.

"Dongxu is good, but it's a pity for that mother. If anything goes wrong with Jia Zhang's family again, I will go to the street office to drive her back to the countryside. She is a bad apple." Liu Haizhong wanted to show himself actively.

"Old Liu, I won't help either of us in this matter. I won't care about Jia and Zhang. At most I can persuade Dongxu." Yi Zhonghai said hypocritically.

"Old Yi, I know your difficulties. I will come if Jia Zhang has any problems again." Liu Haizhong said, patting his chest.

"Sorry to trouble you, Old Liu." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Don't worry, Lao Yi, I'll go back first." Liu Haizhong felt that he was one step closer to taking control of the Siheyuan.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong's receding figure, a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "A fool who loves officials." Yi Zhonghai said softly and closed the door.

A lady was at the home of a deaf old lady. Yi Zhonghai was alone at home, not knowing what he was thinking. The changes on his face seemed like the "face-changing" in Sichuan Opera.

.......

All the families in the compound were talking about today's compound meeting. Most of them admired Cao Dongfang and despised Jia Zhangshi. So many people decided that Jia Zhangshi was making trouble and sent her to -

Return home!

No one wanted to accommodate Jia Zhang anymore, as her existence brought no benefit to the courtyard.

.......

At He Daqing's home.

Look at the excited Sha Zhu as he tells He Yushui about how he learned cooking in a restaurant and how he has a good relationship with his fellow apprentices.

He Daqing was complaining in his heart, you have been learning cooking in the restaurant for less than 5 years, your master and I have owed so much wrong, and you have a terrible relationship with the people in your own master's school.

There are two senior brothers and one junior brother. It’s not that you are fighting with them, but you can only beat the junior brothers. You can’t beat the two senior brothers, and the scene is not big, so they don’t care.

Alas, this son is so stupid. Even his senior brother, Sha Zhu's master, is not satisfied with some of the things Sha Zhu does. He is so stupid.

My senior brother is leaving Sijiu City, and Shazhu is leaving early. I will find him a job in the steel mill so that he can support himself and Yu Shui.

Yu Shui is still young, he just needs to wait for two more years. With the help of the Cao family, Yu Shui will have a better life. Sha Zhu doesn't care about him anymore. He is 18 years old and an adult. I will send some money to Yu Shui every month.

So be it. This time I am unlucky and have been taken advantage of by a widow.

but!

If I could have another son, it might not be a bad thing. I can't expect Sha Zhuzi to become smart.

He Daqing was thinking about his own affairs and family matters.

.......

After Cao Dongfang finished talking to his mother, it was still early when he returned to his room to study his junior high school subjects. On the surface he was reading, but in fact he was thinking about something.

Thinking about He Daqing's escape.

He Daqing was probably tricked by Yi Zhonghai and caught by the White Widow. The White Widow has a handle on him, and any handle left behind may be a fatal one.

The handle should be the background of the He family, which is a big deal nowadays.

These have nothing to do with me. It’s a pity that all the money in He Daqing’s hands was fed to the White Widow’s family. They are a bunch of ungrateful people, none of them is a good person.

No... He Daqing must have a lot of money. He has been a chef for twenty years. As far as I can remember, He Daqing has done a lot of private work in these years. He makes a lot of money by hosting banquets for others.

Rob He Daqing!

This thought suddenly appeared in Cao Dongfang's mind and could not be shaken off.

This can be!

After thinking for a while, Cao Dongfang murmured.

We all live in the same compound. Give He Daqing a chance. I won't keep an eye on him. If he runs away and I find him, he and the White Widow will be unlucky. I don't know if he is lucky and the White Widow is lucky!

Cao Dongfang had no psychological burden about robbing He Daqing. He just needed to take care of He Yushui in the future. Neither He Daqing nor Bai Guafu were good people.

Rob the rich and give to the poor!

This can be!

Next, let's see how Yi Zhonghai deals with Jia Zhang. Cao Dongfang is not worried that Yi Zhonghai will let Jia Zhang go. If Jia Zhang stays, it will pose a huge threat to Yi Zhonghai's retirement!

but!

Yi Zhonghai will never show up himself, and the villain Lao Deng will never do that, so who will he use...

Don’t think about it, you will know when the time comes!

Next comes my own study and work issues.

Going to college or working after graduating from high school each has its advantages.

Forget about going to college. I went there once in my previous life, so I won’t go there again in this life. More than ten years later, the wind started to blow, and the life of intellectuals is not easy. Besides, I can teach myself in the future. Knowledge is more important than a diploma, and—

After more than 20 years, I don't want to pursue a career in politics but rather go into business. A diploma is not important.

It has been more than ten years since Qifeng came along, and it is enough for me to graduate from high school. If I want to move up, I can still use my father's old comrades-in-arms and superiors. The relationship has not been severed in the more than a year since my father passed away, so I can use them.

Many of them work in Beijing, which is a great help to me. Just be careful when using them.

The last one is whether I need to skip a grade in school. My Chinese is terrible, but the other subjects are not a big problem. There are still four years left for me to graduate from high school. I am 19 years old, so it’s a bit of a long time.

It is best to graduate at the age of 18, start working, and study the Mao Xiong language hard when school starts.

Cao Dongfang wanted to skip a grade, but Mao Xiong's language skills were really bad.

Why not Jiaoben language? In my previous life, I started studying Jiaoben language for the sake of art at the age of 15. Their common expressions... I am familiar with them.

Cao Dongfang was helpless about Mao Xiongyu. He had no choice but to study hard. Fortunately, he was a graduate of a prestigious university in his previous life, so he had a very clear mind in this life and could learn anything quickly.

In order to get a job at the age of 18, I have to work hard. I started working as a driver in a steel rolling mill. How about this job?

A mixed bag of good and bad!

The advantage is that he has more freedom, can drive around in a sports car, have invisible income, and can also find an excuse to source some materials, which is more suitable for Cao Dongfang.

The bad thing is that when driving out of town, it is difficult to take care of one's home. Fortunately, Cao's mother is young, only 36 years old. In three years, she will be 39 years old, not even 40 years old.

Five years later, Cao Jiajia was 7 years and 9 months old and could study. Cao's mother had less work to do, so it was not a big problem to take care of Cao Jiajia.

As for the people in Siheyuan's revenge, they dare not, because the army's deterrent power is not exaggerated.

Just do it!
