Chapter 1435: Leading but not moving, beating and retreating
Courtyard house
Pan Hunchback
This guy was lying on the bed crying more than if his own father had died...
"Wang Mazi, what do you think I should do? If I had known this half a month ago, I would have sold these things to you at a lower price... I would have packed up and left. Although Longyin Township is remote... I am still a director after all."
Pan Tuobei only had Wang Mazi as his fellow villager, and now he had no choice but to tell him about his grievances and the injustice in his heart. He just looked at him a few times, but no one believed that he really fell. Is there still law in this courtyard?
Wang Mazi was smoking while looking at the other person happily... He didn't need to hide his happiness now, since everyone was the same now. Don't think about bullying me, Uncle Wang, again...
"You son of a bitch, you deserve to be beaten... Uncle Wang told you a long time ago that Longyin Township is the best. You refused to listen and said you wanted to be a high-ranking official... Look at you, you are just a nobody now! Look at me, Uncle Wang, I spent a little money to do great things! Uncle Guanshi and I are brothers... Shazhu and the others all call me Uncle Wang."
Wang Mazi's words made Pan Tuobei feel even more regretful, and also made him realize the meaning of the saying "a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake".
"Get lost! You are just trying to piss me off... What's the point of saying all this now? Are you going to tell the steel mill about how I dealt with Li Laoshuan's family...?"
Pan Tuobei was right! Wang Mazi came to irritate him, and he wanted to get back all the money he had spent on his dinner and drinks.
"Pan Tuobei, it was you who asked Uncle Wang to leave! Don't call me for lunch later!"
Wang Mazi had brought him breakfast, and now it was almost time for lunch... Pan Tuobei had no way of getting off the kang to cook for himself.
"Okay, okay! Come back, come back... I'll give you money so you can at least help me cook!"
Wang Mazi sat down again happily. Pan Tuobei no longer had any privileges... Now Wang Mazi could play tricks on him.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the door of Pan Tuobei's door, which frightened Pan Tuobei so much that his whole body trembled... He thought that the people in the courtyard were coming to beat him again.
"Wang Mazi, close the door quickly! If you hit me again, I'll be dead!"
Wang Mazi was curious about what was going on so he went to the door to check, and found that there was a group of people watching the new residents who had moved in.
"What are you afraid of, kid? It's just that a new neighbor has moved in. Just lie down. Uncle Wang, I'll go check on him too."
Today is Sunday, Peng Jizhong and Xu Hesheng happened to move into the courtyard during their break...
They are all Li Huaide's people, so it's not strange for them to live here. Now everyone thinks that Li Huaide deliberately arranged it... to give their courtyard a boost in combat power.
Liu Haizhong even called on Sha Zhu and others to help carry things. Peng Jizhong's arrival was welcomed by the people in the courtyard.
"Second Uncle, you didn't inform us of your actions earlier... and we were ambushed by Master Niu. I later heard that Tong Zhi and Master Niu had colluded in advance."
When talking about this, Liu Haizhong wanted to kick Jia Zhang to death... Now she is the biggest suspect, and the two aunts who are monitoring her have discovered that she has been in secret contact with Cai Quanwu.
"Don't mention it! We were careless this time. From now on, we all live in the same yard and it will be much more convenient for us to communicate with each other if anything happens."
In his early years, Xu Hesheng almost had a falling out with Niu Ye because of a famous painting...
At that time, because he didn't have enough money on him, the calligraphy and painting he liked was snatched away by Master Niu. So for so many years, the Xu family and Master Niu have been at odds...
Yan Jiecheng is the happiest person in the crowd now, as his master has moved in with him. The Yan family now has another helper...
Ever since the Yan family distanced themselves from Chen Junliang, they had no allies in Siheyuan... Now with the arrival of Peng Jizhong, Yan Bugui became arrogant again.
"Master, please come to my house for lunch! I have already arranged for Meimei to buy a chicken and stew it..."
Peng Jizhong is Yan Jiecheng's master, and since the master is here today, the couple should entertain him. It is reasonable and justifiable...
But Yan Bugui was unhappy. After all, he had been bullied by his son and daughter-in-law once... One hundred yuan turned into eleven months' food expenses, and the old man was still brooding over this matter.
His son is entertaining guests at his home today, but he won't contribute any money... he's just waiting to eat meat and drink wine.
"Jie Cheng, your master is here, you can't just buy chickens... Go buy a few more bottles of wine so that Brother Peng and I can have a few drinks."
Yan Jiecheng knew his father's character, and he was deliberately trying to coerce him in front of his master...
"Okay, okay, I'll go now..."
For Yan Bugui, this was a good opportunity to plot against his son and daughter-in-law... If he missed it, he wouldn't know when he would get the next chance.
"Ginger is always wiser with age. Who told you two to plot against me first?"

Front door
Cai Quanwu was very happy because he was going to Quanjude to eat roast duck tonight.
As a result, just as he was riding his tricycle and was about to go home to have lunch and take a rest, a person across the street waved to him.
After seeing the other party clearly, Cai Quanwu had no choice but to step forward...
"Lin... Secretary Lin, what a coincidence! Are you here to buy clothes? Let me tell you, Chen's fabrics are the best on Qianmen Street..."
Lin Chen was here accompanying a group of little girls to try on clothes, and he met Cai Quanwu who was passing by.
The Xu family has already moved today, so this kid should move too.
"I have nothing to do on Sunday so I'll just go around. Cai Quanwu, what have you been thinking about the matter I mentioned last time?"
When Cai Quanwu heard Lin Chen mention this again, he was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost couldn't stand. He really didn't want to live in that courtyard...
"Secretary Lin, I...I'm used to living here! I don't want to move so I won't go to your yard...Thank you for your kindness."
Lin Chen smiled cheerfully: "Well, if you don't want to go, forget it! Teacher Xu and Peng Jizhong should move over today... You will have two less playmates at the front door in the future."
When Cai Quanwu heard that the Xu Hesheng brothers had actually moved into the courtyard house, he immediately became confused.
Qiangzi moved there because Jia Zhangshi couldn't marry out. What the hell is the Xu family trying to do? Are they crazy?
Cai Quanwu’s refusal was within Lin Chen’s expectations, as he had just gotten a glimpse of what was going to happen in the coming day.
If you don't come now, you will have to pay this rent when you come again...
After a few small talk
Lin Chen sent Cai Quanwu away... and told him not to tell anyone else that he had seen him, otherwise he would bear the consequences...
How could Tsai Quanwu dare not disobey, mainly because he could not afford the consequences!
Looking at Cai Quanwu's back, Lin Chen became happy.
"Jia Zhang is not someone you can play with casually... Once you get attached to her, there's no way you can get rid of her. You're a typical example of someone who won't let you go and is only moving backwards..."
Cai Quanwu hurried back home. What he feared most was meeting Lin Chen...
"Only a fool would want to go to your courtyard. I don't work at a steel mill... You can't control me."
As a result, when this guy just got home, he saw Qiangzi's tricycle parked under a big tree in front of his house.
