Scholars in the courtyard

Qin's house.

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru sat together, surrounded by Xiaodang and Huaihua, while the aunt was preparing to cook at home.

Now, the room was full of women, and the tension between the two was gone.

After all, Shazhu had gone to the countryside, and it was not known whether he could come back.

The two of them were originally two blood suckers on Shazhu. Now that they had no blood sucker, they had no reason to compete, so it was normal for them to be together.

At this time, the two sat at the door, listening to the noise outside, with ugly faces.

The two had just heard about Yu Haitang's affairs in the afternoon, and their expressions were extremely exciting.

Qin Jingru had not thought of the consequences of the matter, but Qin Huairu was smart.

So when Qin Huairu told her the consequences, Qin Jingru immediately understood that if Yang Xiaotao went, it would definitely not end well.

The two were waiting to see the joke, but in the end.

Yang Xiaotao came back, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Sister, I told you this guy is cruel, don't hold too much hope."

Qin Jingru didn't feel sorry, after all, she and Yang Xiaotao didn't have much in common.

Qin Huairu sighed, "You're right, this guy, not only is he cruel, but he's also very smart."

While the two were talking, Xiaodang and his wife ran in with tears on their faces.

Qin Jingru immediately hugged Huaihua, "Huaihua, what's the matter?"

"Auntie, they have watermelon to eat on Duanwu, and we want to eat it too."

"And Xiaoyu, she has it too."

Xiaodang said on the side, "Other children in the yard have it too."

"Auntie, I want to eat watermelon."

Qin Jingru looked embarrassed when she heard this, and Qin Huairu said nothing.

Without a man in this family, it's like the house has lost its pillar, and you feel three points shorter when you go out.

More importantly, without Shazhu in the family, who can make money?

Just when Qin Huairu was about to comfort Xiaodang, she heard Yu Li's voice from outside, and even heard Yu Li's shouting. The two immediately smiled and hurried out to watch the fun.

Then the two heard the conversation behind the crowd, and were shocked by Ran Qiuye.

Facing Ran Qiuye's string of questions, Qin Huairu remembered that she had been outside this yard, and it was the same scene.

But after that time, she had another name in this yard, Jia Qinshi.

And it was a serious name that couldn't be more serious.

Her husband Jia Dongxu, her surname was Qin, Jia Qinshi.

But every time people in the yard called her like this, she felt like calling poultry.

If Jia Dongxu hadn't died, she would have changed her name to Shazhu, and this name would probably continue to be called.

But for this matter, Ran Qiuye didn't give Yu Li a name, which was considered to be giving her enough face.

But the previous words, especially looking for her own man and not thinking about other people's men, made Yu Li lose face.

The latter words showed her attitude and position, which made Yu Li speechless.

The two saw Yu Li standing there, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qin Jingru glanced at Ran Qiuye. This woman is indeed a teacher. She has a lot of knowledge. She can make people afraid to say anything with just one mouth. She is much better than the aunties and grandmas in the village who can only curse and quarrel.

More importantly, the temperament of the other party, I don’t know if it is the temperament of a teacher or from heaven, she looks cold and arrogant.

This is something she will never learn.

The Qin sisters stood behind the crowd and watched quietly. The two were not in a hurry.

This is just the beginning, and the anger is so big. If they wait a while, will they fight?

The two of them looked at each other with burning eyes, thinking about the scene of Ran Qiuye and Yu Li fighting. No matter who wins or loses, Ran Qiuye’s face will be lost.

Just when the two were looking forward to it, someone suddenly stepped forward and prepared to speak.

At this time, everyone around was waiting and watching quietly. Anyone who moved would attract attention, not to mention people near the central area.

After seeing this person clearly, Yang Xiaotao prepared to walk out of the door.

Women’s affairs should be solved by women.

But if a man gets involved, he can't just sit there and watch.

Yan Jiecheng walked in behind Yu Li and stood aside.

He also knew that the Yang family was not easy to mess with, but he felt that with Yang Xiaotao's status, he would not argue with a woman. When the time comes, let Yu Li say a few words, and it will be fine for face. Yu Li will feel happy and everything will be fine.

But he never expected that Yang Xiaotao didn't come out, but Ran Qiuye was eating Yu Li to death.

Especially now, he was speechless and faced with a basin of dirty water. Looking at the aggrieved and angry look on Yu Li's face, Yan Jiecheng felt that his heart was clenched.

Thinking of the days when they were together before, the bits and pieces of the past, ordinary with a little sweetness, he took two steps forward without hesitation.

Yu Li felt someone approaching, and with years of feeling, she knew it was her ex-husband Yan Jiecheng.

There was a sense of reliance in her heart for no reason.

But before the person behind her could speak, she heard a cold shout.

"Yan Jiecheng, go home!"

A cold voice came from Yan Fugui, and at this moment, the eyes behind the glasses were colder than ever before.

Yan Jiecheng was about to speak when he heard his father's voice behind him.

The next second, the words stuck in his throat became hesitant.

At this time, Ran Qiuye glanced at Yan Jiecheng, his eyes swept over Yan Fugui, and then fell on Yu Li.

From beginning to end, Ran Qiuye's hands were folded in front of him, and he looked normal, but there was a fierce momentum that did not retreat.

"I..."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Ran Qiuye's appearance. If he didn't say a word, Yu Li would definitely suffer a loss today.

But when he was about to speak, Yan Fugui's voice came from behind again.

"If you say one more thing, you don't have to stay here anymore!"

This time, it was more serious than before, and Yan Jiecheng had no doubts about his old man's determination.

Now, he is not the only pillar of the family, especially since the second oldest brother went to the northwest and became a worker in a machinery factory. His status in the family and in the second elder's heart is no longer so important.

Even the two younger siblings, Yan Jie Kuang and Yan Jie Di, all know that they can live a good life by following the example of their second brother.

And what is the path for the second child?

Flatter Yang Xiaotao!

In this environment, if he really dared to offend Yang Xiaotao, the four members of his family would kick him out.

In addition, Yan Jiecheng also felt that the eyes of the people around him were staring at him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

In the crowd, when Yan Fugui finished saying this, he also understood that Yan Jiecheng was now like a sweet potato on the stove, roasting it all the time.

Either listen to him, keep your mouth shut and ignore this matter, the title of weakling will definitely not escape, and it is hard to say whether you will be able to raise your head in the future.

If you don't listen to him, then this family really can't keep him, otherwise where is his authority as an uncle?

So, this is a dilemma.

But who can be blamed for this?

It's not that he couldn't see the situation clearly, but he insisted on kicking him into something that was obviously irrelevant.

Everything is self-inflicted.

For the sake of their Yan family, he must take a stand on this matter.

They still have three children at home, and they can't harm three of them just for the sake of one.

That's so selfish.

Yan Fugui had his own plan, but Yan Jiecheng was trembling with anger.

His eyes swept over the people in the courtyard, especially Yang Xiaotao who came out of the courtyard door, and his teeth hurt.

Only then did he realize how serious the matter was.

Although Yu Li used to be his wife, she is not a member of the courtyard now.

Naturally, the people in the courtyard will not help outsiders, otherwise they are from a large courtyard.

"me…"

Yan Jiecheng spoke in a voice that could only be heard by himself, feeling extremely panicked.

Finally seeing Yu Li looking over, Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and said, "Yu Li, you are unreasonable in this matter."

"Stop lingering here and leave quickly!"

Instantly, the people around were in an uproar.

Everyone was waiting for Yan Jiecheng to answer a multiple-choice question, but they didn't expect Yan Jiecheng to find the third answer.

And this third answer seems really good.

He could not offend the Yang family, but also save the face of the Yan family. He also persuaded Yu Li, seemingly standing on both sides of the compound and Yu Li.

This, the ability to have two things at your fingertips, is worthy of Shen's family tradition.

Yan Fugui felt relieved when he heard Yan Jiecheng's choice.

So many years of teaching by words and deeds have finally had some effect, and there is no need to quarrel.

Yang Xiaotao stopped and looked at Yan Jiecheng with a mocking look.

This guy still wants to come here and not offend you, but he doesn’t know that he will get nothing by doing this!

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru's faces were full of disappointment, and then they looked serious again.

Nowadays, this courtyard house has changed too fast.

It was so fast that they couldn't even keep up with the speed of adaptation.

But let me remind them again, the current Siheyuan is no longer their Siheyuan!

They have been reduced to the fringes and are no longer the actors on the stage!

Everyone had different feelings, but Yu Li felt aggrieved.

I only said a few words when I came here, but in the end, I was targeted by the entire compound.

This courtyard house was not like this in the past. Everyone watched the excitement without taking it too seriously. Why are they so united now?

And this Yan Jiecheng, this idiot.

Yan Jiecheng's eyes were like knives, and he finally looked at Ran Qiuye, snorted coldly, then turned around and left.

It’s so embarrassing today!

"Yu Li, Yu Li..."

Yan Jiecheng saw this and hurriedly ran out. This time Yan Fugui didn't care, but stood up and greeted everyone, "Okay, let's all go home and eat, it's okay!"

After that, he went to the Yang family yard and chatted with Yang Xiaotao for a while.

Neither of them said anything about what happened just now, they just chatted about home affairs and then went home.

When Yang Xiaotao returned home, he saw Ran Qiuye playing with the food and looked back at Yang Xiaotao. Their eyes met and then they both laughed.

In this family, men are the backbone of the family, supporting the height of the home and allowing the family enough space to live.

Women are the doors and windows in the house, opening and closing, blocking the wind and rain outside, and controlling the temperature in the house.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao set the table at home. The old Taoist went back to the courtyard to get some things, and then came to sit at home.

Yang Xiaotao and Lao Tao sat together, pouring tea and chatting about things, while waiting for Yu Zecheng to come back.

Normally, Yu Zecheng would return to the courtyard around seven o'clock.

It was just about to get dark at that time, which was suitable for people like them to move.

The two talked about the research institute. After having dinner with Mr. Wang at noon, everyone returned to the machinery factory. Yang Xiaotao sent a new plan to the research institute. When the old man found out, he didn't say anything and made adjustments in the afternoon.

Speaking of the production of alloys, because metallurgy provides enough raw materials, the amount of alloys produced by steel plants has increased a lot. In this case, the alloys provided to machinery plants not only have not decreased, but are actually more than before.

After chatting for a while, they saw Yu Zecheng coming in from outside, followed by someone.

Song Tao, Director Song of Internal Affairs!

Although they worked together on Wang Zhuo's case last time, the impact of that incident on foreign trade was no less than that of metallurgy.

But Yang Xiaotao didn't think that this person would come to his door for no reason.

And when the two came to the yard, seeing Song Tao's appearance, Yang Xiaotao knew that he was coming for him.

"Director Song, long time no see."

Yang Xiaotao stood up and ignored Yu Zecheng beside him, and stretched out his hand to Song Tao.

"Mr. Yang, we cooperated last time, and it's not even a month now!"

Song Tao smiled strangely. After several "big events", he has confirmed one thing.

That is, as long as Yang Xiaotao is involved, the matter will definitely not be small.

So much so that when he hears about Yang Xiaotao now, his heart will beat, fearing that this matter will be exposed again.

Although Song Tao sighed like this, he had to admire Yang Xiaotao's ability.

It's like he has a third eye. He can always find a breakthrough in a case that seems to be clueless to him, and every time it's the key evidence.

Even some criminals' actions that go against common sense will be discovered.

It's like, it's like those criminals' intelligence is reduced when facing this guy, and they are all stupid.

Just like Wang Zhuo last time, and Ye Jin this time, I always feel that the key breakthrough is too, too easy!

However, it's really good to cooperate with this guy. Not only can he easily solve the case, but he can also make meritorious contributions.

Unfortunately, this guy is a worker.
