Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Xiaofan!"

Since Yi Bufan was new, he mostly stood outside during work hours.

Not long after he stood up, Wang Tiejun came over and waved to Yi Bufan.

"Auntie Wang, why are you here? What's the matter? I should go to the street office to find you."

Yi Bufan ran a few steps to meet him.

"No, are you free now? I have something to talk to you about."

Wang Tiejun said this and looked towards the gate. It seemed very quiet.

"Nothing, can I talk here?"

Yi Bufan guessed that Wang Tiejun was probably going to tell him about Sha Zhu's arrest.

"Come on, let's go inside!"

Wang Tiejun took Yi Bufan with him and talked to the deputy captain of the security department. Several people went out and left the doorman behind.

After all, he is the deputy director of the street office, so someone will give him this face.

What's more, Yi Bufan is also from the Security Department.

"Auntie Wang, please sit down. I'll pour you some water!"

Yi Bufan said this and went to the water.

"No, I'll leave after I say a few words."

"You did this, didn't you?"

Wang Tiejun's words almost made Yi Bufan hit the corner of the table. It's not right to be so direct.

"Auntie Wang, that I..."

Yi Bufan also knew that it would be inappropriate to completely deny it now, but he couldn't really admit it either.

"You don't have to tell me, you did the right thing."

"Anyway, there is no evidence. We can't be bullied for nothing."

"It's just that you have to be more careful in the future and try to ask us for help. Aren't you also from the security department? If it doesn't work, you can ask the police for help."

Wang Tiejun didn't really let Yi Bufan say anything.

"Auntie Wang, what do you mean?"

Yi Bufan was a little confused by what he said.

"As long as you think about this matter, you will know that they are trying to frame you. Nothing really happened. Anyone with a conscience will think they deserve it."

"But these words can only be kept in my heart and cannot be spoken out loud."

"To handle an incident, we still have to look at the surface evidence."

"You did nothing wrong this time, be careful with your methods next time."

"Also, you two have not lived in the courtyard for long, and you have caused quite a stir."

"Director Liu has been to the police station twice in just a few days. He might be targeting you. You should keep a low profile recently."

"If there is something wrong, please bear with it and let me solve it."

"Of course, asking you to endure it doesn't mean you will be bullied. As long as you are right, I will support you."

"Just don't take the initiative to cause trouble."

Although Wang Tiejun had just become the deputy director of the street office.

However, the frequency of accidents in the Siheyuan is too high, and the higher-ups have to pay attention to the management ability of Director Liu from the Street Office. In this kind of situation, Director Liu will definitely be the one to take the blame.

As the person involved, Yi Bufan is likely to be targeted.

Otherwise, if this continues, Director Liu might be fired.

"Don't worry Aunt Wang, I won't cause any trouble."

Yi Bufan can guarantee this.

"Well, go to work."

Wang Tiejun patted Yi Bufan on the shoulder.

"Auntie Wang, this matter won't affect you, right?"

Yi Bufan certainly had to express his concern, and his face revealed a bit of nervousness.

"What can happen to me? Even if the sky collapses, there are people above to hold it up. Just be careful."

Wang Tiejun is called the Iron Lady, and it is not unfounded.

"Okay, by the way, Aunt Wang, Xiao Ran and I may be having a wedding banquet soon. When the time comes, please be a witness for us."

Yi Bufan felt that having a leader was also a face-saving thing.

"Okay, I think I should consider it."

"Tell me when the date is set, and I'll give you some vegetable and meat coupons or something..."

After seeing Yi Bufan off, the people from the security department came over and started asking questions.

There's no way, it's too boring.

Get off work in the afternoon.

As soon as Yi Bufan entered his courtyard, Xu Xiaoran pulled him out and locked the door.

"Where?"

Yi Bufan was stunned.

"My brother asked me to go over for dinner, saying that there was nothing prepared for lunch, so we would have a reunion meal of dumplings in the evening."

"I'm just waiting for you to come back."

Xu Xiaoran seemed very excited. She could finally go to Xu Damao's house for meals openly and legitimately.

"Well, it looks like I don't have to cook anymore."

Yi Bufan's face showed an expression similar to Xu Xiaoran's.

"But my sister-in-law doesn't know how to cook. She is a lady from a wealthy family and has never worked since she was a child. It's basically my mother who does all the work."

"By the way, my mother worked as a nanny for her family for a few years, otherwise it wouldn't have been so cheap for my brother."

Xu Xiaoran always felt that if Lou Xiaoe married Xu Damao, Xu Damao would be marrying above his station.

But, think about it, Lou Xiao'e can't do anything, so it seems to offset the problem.

"It's okay. We don't ask for much. Just cook some noodles or beat an egg."

Yi Bufan’s aim is to eat ready-made food without having to cook it yourself.

"You wish. Once or twice is fine, but if you do it more than once, I'll kick you out."

Xu Xiaoran rolled her eyes at Yi Bufan.

"It's okay, we just need to be thick-skinned!"

As Yi Bufan spoke, Xu Xiaoran pushed him.

The neighbors in the yard felt that it was unreal when they saw Xu Xiaoran flirting with Yi Bufan.

Is this still Xu Damao’s sister?

"What are you talking about?"

Lou Xiao'e saw the two of them walk in with a smile.

"What else can I say? Just tell me how to bully his brother!"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes at Xu Xiaoran.

I just realized it when I went to work today.

Yi Bufan bought things for him, bought things for his father, gave the betrothal gift, and held the wedding banquet. Didn't he borrow all the money?

Fortunately, he was still thinking of being generous at that time.

If this hadn't been a big deal before, I could have gotten my money back.

Now, why do we need this relationship?

"How can I not!"

Xu Xiaoran pouted and walked in, washed her hands and helped Lou Xiaoe make dumplings.

"Humph, where else can I get it?"

"Don't act without authorization in the future, and don't hide things from others."

Xu Damao had nothing to say now, otherwise it would seem that he was a stingy elder brother.

"I'll help you make dumplings too!"

Yi Bufan also washed his hands and walked over, changing the subject to help Xu Xiaoran out of the situation.

"No, why are you making dumplings? Just sit there and pour the wine. Wait for me to finish cooking this dish and then we can drink."

Xu Damao felt that it was natural for men to drink and women to cook.

"Good! This dish is quite delicious, not worse than Shazhu."

Yi Bufan walked over to look at the dishes on the table. There were both freshly fried and cooked dishes. There were more dishes than the day he came for drinks. There was no harm in giving some insincere compliments.

"Just make do with it."

Xu Damao came over with the dishes, actually he was forced to learn how to cook.

There has to be someone in the family to do it.

After three rounds of drinks, Xu Damao began to speak more freely.

"Xiao Fan, to be honest with you, I thought about marrying Xiao Ran to you before, but you are already married."

"I didn't expect that the person you married was Xiao Ran. It really surprised me so much."

Xu Damao has now forgotten the scene of him questioning Xu Xiaoran with a dark face.

"Okay, then you scared me at noon!"

Xu Xiaoran raised his eyebrows, seeming a little angry.

"How can I not be angry?"

"You didn't even tell me in advance when choosing a brother-in-law for me."

Xu Damao glanced at Xu Xiaoran.

"You chose a sister-in-law for me without telling me in advance!"

Xu Xiaoran curled her lips.

"Hey, You!"

Xu Damao still wanted to be angry, but Lou Xiao'e and Yi Bufan both laughed, so he didn't have to be angry anymore.

"Okay, we're all family now, so let's not talk about the past."

"Let me make some dumplings for you guys, and you can eat and drink at the same time."

Lou Xiao'e felt that this was fate.

Whether it was Yi Bufan or Xu Xiaoran, or she met Yi Bufan, someone who understood her grievances.

In the end, Xu Xiaoran left first, and Lou Xiaoe also went to rest. Only Yi Bufan and Xu Damao were left bragging until Xu Damao was drunk and fell down.

"Drunk again!"

Lou Xiao'e saw Yi Bufan help Xu Damao to the bed.

"Well, brother was happy and drank a few more glasses."

Yi Bufan put Xu Damao down with a smile, helped him take off his shoes, and then pretended to shake his body and leave.

"Extraordinary!"

Lou Xiao'e stood up and grabbed Yi Bufan's arm, which startled Yi Bufan.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Yi Bufan looked over with a smile and blurry eyes.

"Xu Damao, he guessed that he might not be able to have children, but he just didn't bother to check, intending to let me take the blame for the rest of my life."

"He also said that the uncle and auntie were probably the uncle's fault, but the auntie was the one who took the blame."

When Lou Xiao'e said this, tears began to flow.
