Chapter 2291 Old Yi's Unorthodox Methods
In the middle courtyard
After a few days, Yi Zhonghai was finally able to go out for a walk.
The early summer evening was pleasantly warm, and Lao Yi really wanted to go out for some fresh air. He'd been feeling so stifled these past few days; it seemed he really needed to see Master Hu for a checkup! These past few years had been incredibly unlucky!
As soon as Lao Yi stood at the door, he ran into Jia Zhangshi, who was happily returning from the west courtyard to call Qiangzi for dinner...
Although we didn't get the chicken, the little monkey promised to make dumplings for us tomorrow! Pork and scallion dumplings are absolutely delicious! Especially the ones my sister-in-law made—they're even more flavorful…
Although Jia Zhangshi hadn't eaten yet, it didn't stop the woman from being happy.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi happy filled Yi Zhonghai with rage. Unable to contain his pent-up anger any longer, he finally confronted her... "There are only two of us here, what the hell are you laughing at?"
"Jia Zhangshi, how dare you laugh? Do you know that the three of you have ruined my life?"
Madam Jia felt no remorse for what happened a few days ago. She would be even happier if she had beaten down everyone in the courtyard, let alone just a few.
What the hell is going on today? Fine, this little monkey won't let me laugh! After all, he's my own little money-spending machine, but what's with you, Yi Zhonghai, not making me happy either?
When I'm down on my luck, aren't you all just happy?
"Hey Yi, are you out of your mind? A few days ago, I was almost beaten to death by Li Daniu and her gang, you know? What else do you want? What are you yelling about? Besides, I was just covering for them. If you're so tough, go find that mastermind, Little Monkey! All you do is bully me... Tch! And how come everyone else came back safely? You're all useless and you're blaming others."
Yi Zhonghai, who had initially presented a reasoned argument, was unexpectedly refuted by Jia Zhangshi, an accomplice. This angered Yi to the point of chest pain; if Qi Weiyi and Qiao Buwang hadn't also been injured, Yi Zhonghai would have truly wanted to give Jia Zhangshi and her gang a good thrashing...
However, Yi Zhonghai is now quite flexible and adaptable. Since he can't resort to force right now, he'll try something unconventional.
The incident with Li Dazui last time made Lao Yi afraid to seek outside help again, but he's not just good at that. Shifting blame, using others to do his dirty work... he has plenty of tricks up his sleeve.
Jia Zhangshi had enemies all around her, and Yi Zhonghai planned to trick them. He'd teach them a lesson...
Zhao Lichun is now close to Lao Yi, so Yi Zhonghai wants to use this connection to get Ji Cheng and his gang to deal with him. If he can't do it himself, someone else can...
"Don't be angry, sister-in-law! Besides, I didn't yell at you just now."
Seeing Yi Zhonghai back down, Jia Zhangshi became even more smug. What was there to be proud of in a washed-up manager?
"That's more like it. Stop picking on me all the time. After I beat you up, I still had to pay for your banquet, and now I have to put up with your attitude? Is there no justice or law left?"
Yi Zhonghai really wanted to beat this woman up; she was such a stubborn jerk. Besides, it was Li Daniu and the others who beat you up, so why are you acting so tough with me? When has there ever been any talk of justice in this courtyard house… How much does that stuff cost per pound?
"Yes, yes, I didn't control my temper just now. Besides, I didn't know that Li Danu and the others had already beaten you up, did I?"
As Yi Zhonghai was about to step forward, Qiangzi walked over from the front yard. Startled, Old Yi quickly stopped. Normally, he wasn't afraid of Qiangzi, but now he dared not provoke him; if the couple beat him up, he would suffer for nothing.
Qiangzi, who had been all smiles, immediately stopped smiling when he saw that only Jia Zhangshi and the sickly old Yi were in the courtyard.
What are you talking about?
Jia Zhangshi rolled her eyes at Qiangzi and said, "What are we talking about? I'm just passing by. Hurry up and wait for you to start the meal..."
The woman had originally invited Qiangzi to dinner, but Yi Zhonghai stopped her.
Watching Jia Zhangshi pull Qiangzi back to the west courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was furious.
"You just wait and see how long you can be so smug."
Yi Zhonghai cursed inwardly and then coughed, only to feel a sharp pain in his chest after a while.
Just then, Qi Weiyi went out to call Yi Zhonghai to have dinner.
"Master has eaten! Don't bother with them, let's focus on getting better first."
Old Yi thought the same thing. He planned to go find Zhao Lichun after dinner and stir up trouble. "If I'm not having a good time, neither are you! This is outrageous!"

At the Yan family's dining table in the front yard
Now, that old bastard Yan Bugui is sighing and looking like he's lost his father.
The son and daughter-in-law already knew what their father was sighing about, and they stopped paying attention to each other.
Last night, his family advised him that the huge compensation offer was unreliable. After all, it's a life-threatening job; how could someone possibly pay him whatever amount he asked for?
However, Yan Bugui didn't see it that way. He explained that he hadn't stopped himself at the hospital last time because it was dark. Besides, Tong Zhi and Da Zhuang were somewhat involved due to personal grudges…
Wang Baye was already seriously injured, and it was only due to a combination of factors that he almost caused a death. If it had been daytime, they wouldn't have dared to kill him.
"All you guys know is eating! Hurry up and think of a solution! Sun Shaoan's fellow villager will definitely not let this go, and he also has a deputy county magistrate as his father."
Sun Shaoan had already told the people in the courtyard about Li Xiangqian's situation, including the fact that his father was a deputy county magistrate.
At this moment, the eldest brother, Yan Jiecheng, looked around and said, "You didn't say that yesterday. Besides, his father is the deputy county magistrate in northern Shaanxi. What are you afraid of?"
"Brother, didn't you hear what Sun Shaoan said? That kid has a good relationship with Chairman Tian from the old labor union. He's Teacher Tian's uncle, and now he's the director of the locomotive factory. Who knows who Teacher Tian might side with now!"
Yan Bugui wasn't afraid of the deputy county head who was far from the emperor's reach, but he was indeed a little afraid of Tian Yezi's uncle, Tian Fujun.
Yan Jie immediately scoffed at his second brother.
"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten that Dad is the one protecting Teacher Tian? No matter how good Li Xiangqian's relationship is with Factory Director Tian, it's not as close as Teacher Tian's! So don't be afraid of this. If all else fails, Dad, you can go ask Uncle Lin."
Yan Bugui felt that his eldest son was right, and without even eating, he hurriedly got up and ran to the backyard.
The rest of the Yan family didn't care about the matter at all. If their father were to get seriously injured, the two brothers would definitely try to extort a large sum of money from the other party...
It's not a big deal that Yan Bugui can't eat right now, but if he doesn't ask Brother Lin for advice, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight either.
“If Dad doesn’t eat, we will. Meimei, you two sisters should eat more.”
Now, these two daughters-in-law are the real treasures of the Yan family. The third aunt gives them an egg every other day. This was something unthinkable before, since when Yan Bugui was in charge, everyone got five pickled vegetables.
"Thank you, Mom!"
