With the deaf old lady's help, this farce quickly ended.
The residents in the courtyard went home, and Yi Zhonghai followed them to the backyard.
"Foolish!"
As soon as he entered the old lady's house, he heard an angry shout coming from inside.
Aunt Yi quickly tried to smooth things over.
If the old lady treated Shazhu as her grandson, Yi Zhonghai was her son.
He couldn't see it usually, but the old man's heart was indeed on his side.
"Don't you know what's going on in the hospital? What were you thinking when you expected them to fork out money that would definitely go down the drain?”
Knowing that it was not easy for Yi Zhonghai to take care of everything in the courtyard alone, the Deaf Granny's tone softened a lot.
"It's not the time to be desperate. What can you do other than being looked down upon and being poked in the back? What right did he have to cut out his own flesh for unrelated people to eat?”
"You're right. I didn't think it through.”
Yi Zhonghai knew that he was desperate.
However, no matter how bad the idea was, it was still an idea. It was better than being a sucker without saying anything.
It was enough to mention this, and there was no need to say too much.
The deaf old lady asked about the thing she was most concerned about.
"How's the situation on the other side of the pillar?"
"I've already paid for the rain. Zhu Zi doesn't have to worry about being cold and warm inside. If he performs well, he can also come back to spend the new year.”
"That's good, that's good. This kid doesn't know how to restrain himself. It's a good thing that he suffered this disaster. You have to remember. Don't touch the Jia family's matters if you can. Their family is a bottomless pit. Take this money first. The sins of the adults shouldn't fall on the children.”
Even He Yushui could see Qin Huiru's face clearly, let alone the old lady.
It was the poor little locust flower who wanted to help Yi Zhonghai.
Without these two conditions, she might not have come out to deal with this family's mess.
In the courtyard, no one's money made a sound when it went in. Only the old lady's money, Qin Huairu's family, did not dare to not return it.
Of course, they couldn't pay back so much money just because they wanted to.
Yi Zhonghai could only hope that these things would pass as soon as possible.
The next day, it was as if nothing had happened in the courtyard. When she woke up early, she greeted him with a smile as usual.
However, he didn't have a good expression on Jia Zhangshi's face.
The few households that were familiar with each other in the past would now take a detour.
No one wanted to provoke such a big trouble.
"Bah, what the hell? Sooner or later, you'll have to beg me!”
Jia Zhang-shi spat at the residents who had lowered their heads and passed by her, her face somewhat ugly.
"Why do you keep running to the backyard? Did he think that he had not been rolled his eyes enough?”
Seeing the stick come out of the backyard again, Jia Zhangshi frowned and said a few words.
When it was time to act like a grandson, he couldn't jump around too much.
Even if this money was the cost of the Deaf Old Lady's coffin, she did not intend to return it.
The other courtyards in the alley were discussing this matter as a joke.
Although the Jia Zhangs didn't have a good reputation in the past, it was completely ruined now.
Ye Chen woke up early to hear the discussions in the courtyard.
Su Meng's parents shook their heads at the mention of this matter. They seemed to have a lot of opinions about the atmosphere in that courtyard.
Ye Chen did not know where their sense of superiority came from.
It had been a few days since they moved in, but the two families had not spoken a word, not counting Su Meng.
Ye Chen was happy to be idle.
After breakfast, she went to work as usual.
The food in the kitchen was much better than outside.
Other people could only eat rice bran and vegetables, but they had fine grain and steamed buns every day.
However, he was tired of eating it every day. At least, Ye Chen was not used to it.
It was a rare day of peace in the factory.
Before leaving work, Jordan asked the factory manager for more than ten industrial coupons.
Naturally, they were prepared for watches and bicycles.
These two items were rare.
Take watches for example. The domestic Zhonghai had low production and low prices, so they were basically sold out.
The only watches sold in the department store were imported Innagg watches.
Semi-steel waterproof 140, full-steel waterproof 151.
If not for the twenty thousand gold coins that the Golden Toad had spat out the night before, Ye Chen would have needed a few more days to gather all that money.
As for whether others would suspect the origin of the watch, he had been working for two years.
There were only two mouths for meals at home. Jordan basically ate at the factory.
Little Xin's appetite was not big either.
No matter what, it was enough to buy a watch. At most, people who were jealous would say that he was a prodigal.
Ye Chen had heard this many times anyway, so he did not care at all.
He didn't have the ability to look at the sky like people in this era. It was fine as long as it was convenient for him.
After picking up Xiao Xin from work, the siblings went straight to New North Bridge Department Store.
This was the most prosperous place in the entire Land.
It was next to New North Bridge's market.
There was also the only teahouse nearby.
Those who had a little money liked to go there to listen to the storytelling.
The people who were familiar with each other moved closer to the table and pinched a few peanuts that were usually unpalatable.
They talked about the interesting things they had heard recently.
The first time he came here, he gave Ye Chen the illusion that he was in a golden age.
However, the economy did show signs of recovery.
She spent 151 yuan on an all-steel Innagg watch. Xiao Xin had no concept of money, but she was very curious about this new thing.
Jordan smiled and helped her buckle her watch. He then went to the market to buy some seasonal vegetables.
However, just as he returned to the courtyard, Xu Gen followed him in.
There was still an old hen hanging in his hand.
"Here, I brought you the meat. Where's my bamboo dragonfly?”
She looked at the child's face full of anticipation.
Ye Chen suddenly smiled unkindly.
As expected of you!
"I forgot to tell you that the chicken is too dry.”
"You didn't tell me either!"
Seeing that Ye Chen wanted to go back on his word, the meme panicked.
"You left in a hurry yesterday and didn't give me a chance to tell you. Alright, take this chicken back and give it to your grandmother to nourish her body. Look at how thin she is.”
Ye Chen waved his hand and turned around to return to the house.
The next second, he heard a roar from the next room."Which bastard stole another chicken from my house!？”
Without any hesitation, the stick threw the dead chicken at Ye Chen's door and turned to run out of the courtyard.
The set of movements was as smooth as flowing water.
Ye Chen sneered. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that the person who did this was just a child?
"Brother."
Little Xin tugged at Ye Chen's sleeve uneasily.
The disaster he had just experienced seemed to be repeating itself.
"It's okay. Go back to your room first. No matter what happens later, just watch and don't say anything.”
"Yes, yes."
After Little Xin entered the house, Ye Chen took the opportunity when there was no one in the yard to put the chicken into the System Space.
Then, he started to prepare dinner as if nothing had happened.
The courtyard next door was not peaceful.
