Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1734: Silly Pillar Makes Trouble
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liang Zuoxin prepared to go out, "I will take the people there myself."

"Okay, if you have any news, let me know as soon as possible."

Yang Xiaotao yawned as he spoke. He hadn't closed his eyes once all night, so now was a good time to lie down for a while.

Siheyuan.

Ran Qiuye looked at the children waiting in the yard and blamed Yang Xiaotao in her heart.

She waited until midnight last night.

I thought he would come back and I had made all the preparations, but when dawn came, there was still no one around.

When I woke up in the morning, I was still a little worried. Since no one was around, I didn't have the heart to take the kids out to play.

"Mom, did Dad go to the Industrial Bank?"

Miaomiao saw Ran Qiuye's worry and asked in a low voice.

Yueyue and Rongrong beside him also raised their heads after hearing this, with curiosity on their little faces.

"Well, that's possible."

Ran Qiuye touched Miaomiao's little head, then called out to Duanwu, "Duanwu, go to the backyard to find your Aunt Cuiping."

After hearing this, Duanwu immediately ran to the backyard with a bamboo water gun.

Miaomiao took her two younger sisters to play with people in the yard.

forecourt.

Yan Fugui had someone set up the table long ago, and the third aunt got up early in the morning and brought a few old women home to prepare the meal.

At this time Yan Fugui came to the Intermediate Court, saw Ran Qiuye, and hurried forward to inquire about the situation.

"Xiao Tao, didn't you come back last night?"

Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded, "Maybe the factory is too busy. When the time comes, I will be the representative."

Yan Fugui smiled and said, "Okay, it's you, Teacher Ran. No, no, it's Director Ran who is here to attend. That will be even more glorious."

While the two were chatting, Yan Fugui went to the front to make arrangements. Today, not only were there people from the courtyard, but there was also a person from the countryside, who was specially arranged to meet Yan Jiecheng.

It's a good opportunity to show off one's financial strength and status, and save time on meeting others, killing two birds with one stone.

When Liu Yuhua saw Ran Qiuye, she brought Xiaoyu over.

A few people gathered together, Ran Qiuye brought some fruits from home, and the group sat in the yard.

"Qiuye, this Master Yan is really calculating."

Liu Yuhua picked up a cucumber, rubbed it with her hands to remove the small thorns on the outside, then washed it with water using a scoop, broke it into two halves, and gave them to Miaomiao and Xiaoyu.

Then another one was given to Yueyue and Rongrong.

"Xiao Tao mentioned this yesterday. If for no other reason, just because Yan Jiefang is a worker in the workshop, I have to go there."

Liu Yuhua nodded, "I'll let Kuizi go over there too. It's only two dollars, no more."

"Besides, Mr. Yan is so stingy that I don't even know if there are two dollars for a table of food."

As the two were talking, Cuiping came over holding Duanwu. Behind them, Xiao Shitou was holding a basketball, which was given to him by Duanwu. He followed behind them and laughed.

"Sister Ping, where is your old man?"

Liu Yuhua and Cuiping have similar temperaments and are both straightforward, which Cuiping doesn't mind.

"Who knows where he went? He didn't come back last night. I guess he slept on his desk."

Cuiping said as she picked up the tomatoes on the plate, threw one to Xiao Shitou, and took a bite herself. "Qiuye, your tomatoes are so sweet. What kind are they?"

Ran Qiuye also picked up one. This was the first batch of ripe tomatoes in the yard. "I don't know either. Xiao Tao said it was a native persimmon from the countryside."

"Earth persimmon?"

“The land and water nurture the people. Could it be related to the land and water?”

Liu Yuhua interrupted and said that she had also eaten wild persimmons, which were sour and even a little sour when ripe.

"By the way, where's your man?"

Cuiping looked around and didn't see any trace of Yang Xiaotao. Ran Qiuye shook his head, "He didn't come back last night."

"These men have given up their families for work."

Cuiping complained, then looked at Liu Yuhua, "Your home is still the best."

Liu Yuhua was stunned for a moment, then straightened her chest and said, "Then we will try to get another pair of chopsticks."

Ran Qiuye smiled as she listened, Cuiping snorted coldly, "I can give birth too."

Three people were laughing in the yard. Not far away, a group of children were playing, skipping rope, kicking shuttlecock, and playing basketball.
It’s so festive.

Next to the yard, Sha Zhu was sitting in the house, drinking water from a jar with a sarcastic look on his face.

"What good food can a guy like Yan Laokou make?"

"Auntie, if you ask me, one dollar is too much. Fifty cents is enough."

Sha Zhu was talking on the side, but Qin Huairu nodded in agreement, "Yes, Auntie, one dollar is a lot of money. Yan Fugui is just inviting us to a thank-you banquet, and the main person hasn't come back yet, so there's no need to spend so much."

The aunt looked a little embarrassed after hearing this. Yan Fugui had been following Yi Zhonghai for many years, and the two families had provided a lot of help to him.

Now that her child is getting married, she feels that one dollar is not a lot.

"Yes, fifty cents is enough. Our family will also pay fifty cents, and we can take Xiaodang Huaihua with us when the time comes."

Qin Huairu said that when Xiaodang was around, their family would set up a banquet in the yard, and Yan Fugui would bring his whole family to eat at several tables for just fifty cents.

Although the Jia family is gone, she still remembers the grudge.

"Yes, that's it."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu nodded indignantly, "Back then, Mr. Yan was very stingy when he donated money. I think we are all family, so we shouldn't give even one dollar, fifty cents will be enough."

The aunt felt a little sorry after hearing this, but Sha Zhu stood up and said, "It's settled."

"I'll go try some of Auntie's cooking later."

"Hum~"

After saying that, he walked out with his hands behind his back. The auntie understood that Sha Zhu was angry that Yan Fugui didn't ask him to cook.

At noon, three tables were set up in the open space in the front yard, and two tables were set up in Yan's house.

The men were outside and the women were inside. The children had no share at the table, so they waited beside their mothers, occasionally taking the food offered to them, taking a bite and then running away.

Ran Qiuye sat with Cuiping, but the children from home did not come, so Liu Yuhua helped look after them.

Anyway, there is food at home, so there is no need to come here to join in the fun.

Everyone was eating when suddenly there was a noise in the yard, followed by the sound of fighting.

Ran Qiuye put down his chopsticks and followed everyone out, and saw Sha Zhu hugging and throwing Yan Jie to the ground, where he was then stepped on by Sha Zhu.

Yan Fugui was shaking with anger and unable to speak. People around him immediately stepped forward to help.

However, Zhou Kui saw Ran Qiuye coming out and hurried over to protect her.

It's obvious that Sha Zhu is looking for trouble today. We can't let this guy do whatever he wants.

"Silly Zhu, you have no conscience, what are you going to do?"

The three aunts rushed out and started to beat Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu on the side also ran over and pulled Sha Zhu, saying that they were just eating, but hitting others was not allowed.

Sha Zhu was pushed aside by the third aunt and Qin Huairu, and Yan Jiecheng stood up while rubbing his lower back. "Sha Zhu, you, you wait for it."

"Don't think I don't know. It's you who's having an affair with Qin Jingru, and..."

"You are talking nonsense, I will kick you to death."

When Sha Zhu heard about Qin Jingru, he immediately understood that Yan Jiecheng was the spy of the Xu family in this courtyard. He could not suppress his anger at all. He pushed away the third aunt and Qin Huairu and kicked Yan Jiecheng in the stomach.

stop!

The next second, Sha Zhu's body suddenly turned, his eyes looking at the person who was supporting Yan Jiecheng, his brows furrowed.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly, and the people who were supporting him also stepped back.

But this person, looking at Sha Zhu, was also stunned.

The next second, their eyes met, and then they quickly separated, as if nothing had happened.

Yan Fugui, who shouted, stood aside with a sad and angry look on his face.

To outsiders, it seemed that Sha Zhu was giving face to Yan Fugui, but in fact, Sha Zhu's heart was on that person just now.

That woman.

That pile of corn was the beginning of his becoming a man.

I just didn't expect to meet this woman here.

Shen Cuihua.

At this time, Shen Cuihua did not expect that she would be called up by the matchmaker this time, saying that she was going to meet Yan Jiecheng and attend a banquet.

I just took a look at Yan Jiecheng in the house. He looks like a good-looking man, but he doesn't look very energetic. If he were in the village, he would probably not be able to have children.

Later, when she saw Yan Jiecheng being bullied, she stepped forward to stop the fight.

But I didn't expect to meet Sha Zhu here.

Although the two of them were doing it in secret, they were close to each other and their appearances were clear to each other. The reason they were not involved was that they just took what they needed.

"Silly Zhu, if you dare to mess around again, I will go to the street office to sue you."

Yan Fugui said this angrily, but Sha Zhu didn't care at all.

"Go ahead, go ahead. It was your eldest son who started it first. So what?"

Yan Jiecheng immediately shouted after hearing this, "You are talking nonsense, Shazhu, you were the one who said that to me first."

"What did you say?"

"you"

Yan Jiecheng still had some rationality and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu sneered, "It's true that you're a loser. You just sit at home eating and waiting to die all day. Whoever marries you will be in trouble."

"you"

"Hello, hello, you are also a family without a son, a family without a son."

Yan Jiecheng wanted to talk about the matter between Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru, but when he thought of Yan Fugui's instructions, he didn't say it.

But saying this is more stimulating to Sha Zhu than saying it about Qin Jingru.

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you."

Sha Zhu rushed forward howling, this time no longer caring about the woman beside him, and directly wrestled with Yan Jiecheng.

Qin Huairu standing by also had a cold face. Wasn't this just scolding her for not being able to give birth to a child for Sha Zhu?

Even an old lady would feel uncomfortable after hearing this.

"Jie Kuang, call someone to go to the police station."

Yan Fugui watched as a wonderful banquet was ruined by Sha Zhu. If this got to the ears of the second brother, what would the bride think?
"Zhu Zi, go home, go home soon."

When an old lady saw Yan Fugui was about to call for help, she hurried forward to persuade Sha Zhu to stop and pulled him towards the central courtyard.

Qin Huairu snorted coldly and glanced at the third aunt's family. "Uncle Yan, don't say that we don't give you face."

"It's clear that Yan Jiecheng was the first to take action today."

"My Zhuzi just said two truths. If you file a complaint with the street office or the police station, they will all be the same."

"I just don't believe that after being beaten, I can't fight back?"

Yan Fugui felt dizzy after hearing this, but thanks to the support of his third aunt, he did not fall down this time.

Qin Jingru was watching the fun from the side and guessed what had happened to Yan Jiecheng. She was delighted to see him being beaten badly by Sha Zhu.

At this time, Shen Cuihua was standing aside, listening to Sha Zhu talking about everything about Yan Jiecheng. Then she saw Yan Jiecheng's miserable appearance, which showed that he had no manliness at all. She felt extremely disappointed.

This time he didn't go to help, but just stood aside, waiting to leave.

With Shazhu leaving, I couldn't eat the meal anymore.

Ran Qiuye brought his men back to the central courtyard. When the others saw this, they also left, leaving behind a messy front yard, and Yan Fugui who was in tears but had no tears, and Yan Jiecheng who had a bruised face and nose.

"Catch him, you must catch him!"

Yan Jiecheng shouted loudly, his heart full of resentment.

Yan Fugui said nothing and took the leftovers from the dinner table home with Auntie Three.

As for Shen Cuihua who was standing aside, she was staying with the matchmaker, and the attitude on her face already showed that this man was not a good match.

But when I thought of Sha Zhu just now, I felt a little undecided.

At this time, Sha Zhu returned home and lay on the bed. The image that appeared in his mind was locked on the pile of corn stalks.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Sha Zhu got up and walked out under Qin Huairu's puzzled gaze.

"Zhu Zi, what are you doing?"

"Go out for a walk."

After leaving a word, Sha Zhu walked through the Chuihua Gate, looked at the messy front yard, snorted coldly in front of Yan Fugui's door, and then walked out.

But as soon as I went out, I saw the fat man from the coal station running towards me.

"Master He, Master He."

Shazhu was in a bad mood and didn't look happy when he saw the fat man.

"Mani Maani, what are you yelling about? I can hear you."

"Master He, there is a big job tonight, and they are offering this amount."

The fat man ran up, stretched out a hand, opened and clenched his fist.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu's brows relaxed, "Fifty?"

"Correct!"

"This is a big job for me. I need to prepare three tables tonight. I thought of you when I took this job."

When Sha Zhu heard that there was money to be made and things to take away, he immediately laughed and said, "What kind of work? You tell me."

"Hey, I'm from the military compound, looking for someone to entertain friends and family."

"Okay, I'll take this job!"
