Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Chapter 2297 Unlucky Old Man Yan 3

While Lin Chen was enjoying his meal, he had already received the reward for intercepting the prize.

Secretary Lin was no longer particularly interested in material rewards, but he did upgrade his skill to control other people's hatred and goodwill values.

This is quite interesting, although it can't be maxed out yet. But sixty points is enough, which means that if Lin Chen wants to make a move, even father and son will become enemies.

Li Wenya couldn't be happier now, as she felt she deserved the most credit this time.

We've got a beautiful little courtyard house; next time, I'll take them there to play as they please.

However, as the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad; in the courtyard house, there are happy people, and there are unhappy ones...

The miser in the front yard is really unhappy right now; he's sitting on the kang (heated brick bed) sighing and secretly shedding tears. He's never bought so much pork belly for the New Year before! Good heavens! He'll have to pay for three jin (1.5 kg) himself for this meal.

"It's so dark! It's really dark."

Old Yan was utterly baffled. He had clearly done a good deed and should have received a reward, so why was he being asked to pay several pounds of pork belly instead? What had gone wrong? Was this some kind of ghost story?

That's how it should normally be, but things aren't normal now! Whenever the Lin family is involved, things have to be changed to some extent.

Just as Yan Bugui was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Liao Shaoji's cursing voice came from the doorway.

When Yan Bugui, who was feeling heartbroken, heard that it was Jia Zhangshi and Liao Yucheng again, the old man immediately thought of the incident two days ago when his three minutes were interrupted.

I finally managed to get something done, and they ruined it. I wanted to settle the score with them then, but I can't believe they dare to pull this stunt again today. Don't they have any manners at all?

As Yan Bugui got off the kang (a heated brick bed), he started cursing. Intellectuals are not to be trifled with.

"Grandma's nagging never ends, does it?!"

Yan Bugui said, getting dressed and getting off the kang (heated brick bed). He was going to take his anger out on them today. He'd also settle the score for what happened last time…

The three waiters from the tavern had just gotten home from get off work when Liao Shaoji was ambushed by Jia Zhangshi, who had been lying in wait.

Before the banquet, this guy had some savings, but after the big feast, he instantly became penniless.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, Jia Zhangshi decided she had to get revenge. She could turn against Old Yi after more than twenty years of friendship; what chance did she have against this kid?

Moreover, the incident of Liao Shaoji splashing Jia Zhangshi's foot bath water had already passed, but today Qiangzi heard people from the front gate talking about it.

The people at the front gate embellished the story, telling Qiangzi that the water they splashed on his wife wasn't pot-washing water but foot-washing water. Qiangzi inquired further and finally found out what had happened.

Liao Shaoji, Fan Xiaoer, and their two companions, in order to amuse themselves at the tavern, blurted out the whole story. Liao Yucheng even mentioned that it was a basin of foot-washing water, which quickly reached Qiangzi's ears.

Qiangzi and his wife always thought it was just dishwater, and they didn't bother Lin out of respect. They thought they'd let it go! But this kid actually went around saying it was foot-washing water…

While we were eating in the west courtyard, Qiangzi told Jia Zhangshi the news he had heard, and the woman was so angry that she almost went to prepare a chamber pot.

Uncle Qiang could tolerate it, but you, being bigger, was unacceptable, so the couple decided to throw it back.

"Pfft! Damn Jia Zhangshi, this is definitely deliberate revenge... You only splashed it because you saw me coming."

Now it was Liao Shaoji's turn to gag. What the hell is all this stuff?

"Bullshit! I didn't do it on purpose. Don't make false accusations... I just dumped it randomly, who knows you were passing by the door."

Plus-size women are just that pragmatic. They might tolerate things when there's something in it for them. But if there's nothing in it and you still try to take advantage of them, this woman won't tolerate it.

Uncle Lin has already helped you suppress the matter, so why are you talking about her in the tavern? Now that it's reached Madam Jia's ears, she won't tolerate you anymore!

Since tomorrow is Sunday, no one needs to get up early for work. So this time, no one went out to stop them...

Qiangzi is now standing inside the door, ready to assist his wife at any moment, while Jia Zhangshi stands at the doorway with her hands on her hips. She looks like she's about to have a three-hundred-round battle with Liao Shaoji…

At this point, Liao Shaoji didn't dare go to the backyard to confront Uncle Lin. Frustrated, he stomped his foot and went to open his own front door...

"Fine, fine, since you, Jia Zhangshi, have no sentimentality, I'll fight you to the death! You're playing these tricks, aren't you? I have my own stash too."

Because I was in a hurry to leave for work, there happened to be a basin of leftover swill at Liao's house from the morning.

Liao Shaoji returned home and, without saying a word, picked up the remaining pot-washing water and threw it at Jia Zhangshi. This time it really was pot-washing water, and it was even stale water that had been sitting for a day.

Even if you leave the broth for hot pot in the summer for a day, it will still taste delicious.

Although Jia Zhangshi was on guard and avoided most of the water, she was still soaked to the waist.

Just then, Qiangzi, who was already prepared, suddenly joined in. We tolerated it and didn't want to lower ourselves to his level. But then you went and started making a scene at the front gate! What? Are you bullying us?

"Sister Zhang, I'm here! It's like nobody has stockpiled inventory..."

Qiangzi poured a basin of swill he had prepared directly onto Liao Shaoji, just as Yan Bugui, who was cursing and swearing, opened the door and came out.

Good heavens! Old Yan is really unlucky. Liao Shaoji dodged, and that wasn't the end of it; a whole bucket of dirty water ended up on Old Yan's head…

The old man was already in a bad mood, and after hearing the two families arguing outside... he wanted to come out and vent his frustration.

"Pfft!"

After spitting it out, Lao Yan smacked his lips and said, "Qiangzi, what the hell did you throw? Ugh... spit! You two... you son of a bitch."

Qiangzi didn't expect Yan Bugui to suddenly open the door, and now this whole pot of rotten water has been poured on his head.

"Wait, wait, wait... Old Yan, why did you come out? I didn't mean to splash you. Go find that kid with the roast chicken. He's the one who ruined our reputation at the front gate... that's why we retaliated."

Yan Bugui thought, "What reputation do you two have left? You two are already smearing each other, and now you're even trying to smear me, huh?"

Now Lao Yan can take this opportunity to vent his anger.

"Fine, fine... You guys are playing like this, huh! Now I'm not going to stay here either!"

Originally, Yan Bugui's family couldn't bear to throw away the water from washing pots; they usually used it to water the flowers, so the old man had half a vat of it stored away.

Before anyone could react, Yan Bugui had already come out carrying a basin of hot pot water.

"Qiangzi, don't you dare run away! I'm in a really bad mood today! You bunch of bastards actually dared to mess with me, huh? Let's settle our old scores and new grudges together..."

The new grudge is that Qiangzi just accidentally splashed some rotten water on Lao Yan's head, and the old grudge is naturally that a couple of days ago when they had a fight... and the Third Aunt kicked Lao Yan off the bed.

From that day on, Auntie San went back to live with Xiao Jiedi and Xiao Hua in the west courtyard. Old Yan had finally managed to get his wife back, and now they'd driven her away—no wonder she's angry…

"Old Yan, calm down! Don't come any closer!"

Qiangzi was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the door and used his body to hold it in place.

Now that Yan Bugui couldn't catch Qiangzi, he turned around and splashed water on Jia Zhangshi, that woman.

"Grandma may run away, but the temple can't hide! Jia Zhangshi, don't you dare run away! It's all your fault that you're causing trouble every day..."
