Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Chapter 6 Winning the Heart of the Beauty

By standing on the moral high ground to advocate for the welfare of the courtyard residents, he directly won over the vast majority of the residents in the courtyard.

In Yi Zhonghai's hands, this plenary meeting was a fine weapon.

Yan Bugui became even angrier after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said.

He's always the one scheming against others and taking advantage of them, but this time, things might turn out badly, and he could end up losing a lot of money.

But could Yan Bugui refuse?

At this moment, most of the residents in the courtyard turned their attention to Yan Bugui. The undisguised greed in Yan Bugui made him uneasy.

Shen Zhishou didn't care about this perk. He sat there, his gaze wandering over the two main female characters in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu is indeed very charming. Although her clothes are ordinary, her figure speaks for itself.

As for Lou Xiao'e, she had only been married to Xu Damao for a short time and still retained the innocence of a young girl.

Well, Lou Xiao'e was born into the wealthy Lou family and was raised to be somewhat naive and ignorant of the ways of the world. Even after the plot began, she was still a bit simple-minded!

Calling her a silly girl is absolutely accurate.

While Shen Zhishou was quietly observing the two beauties in the courtyard, he also noticed something interesting.

Xu Damao sat next to Lou Xiao'e, but his eyes would occasionally steal glances at Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu's gaze was similar to Shen Zhishou's, wavering between Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu. Of course, Sha Zhu was more focused on Qin Huairu.

As for the other men in the courtyard, their eyes would often wander towards Qin Huairu.

This discovery made Shen Zhishou realize why Jia Zhangshi was so fixated on Qin Huairu in the story; it was because Qin Huairu was truly alluring.

Compared to Lou Xiao'e, Qin Huairu is like a ripe peach, and her attraction to men is no joke.

While Shen Zhishou was admiring the beautiful woman, Yan Bugui finally made his decision.

"If my family's issues affect the year-end awards selection, my family will compensate everyone for the losses!"

Yan Bugui made his decision after only a brief moment of thought.

At this point, Yan Bugui had no choice but to comply.

Since there's no other choice, let's just be direct to avoid spending money and then being complained about by the people in the hospital.

When it comes to scheming, Yan Bugui is a professional.

However, if Yan Bugui knew that all of this was simply because he didn't respond to Shen Zhishou immediately and didn't arrange a temporary room for Shen Zhishou, what would he think?

"Old Liu, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

After Yan Bugui made his statement, Yi Zhonghai turned to look at Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Old Yi, I think it's not enough for Old Yan to just compensate everyone for their losses; this is what they should have compensated in the first place!"

"Old Yan, I think you bear the main responsibility for this!"

"You need to seriously reflect on your problems and write a thorough self-examination."

"In addition, your family will be responsible for cleaning the public toilets outside for a month."

Man is a knife, I am a fish!

Yan Bugui didn't haggle and agreed immediately.

Thus, the courtyard house gathering came to a close.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai spoke, the residents of the courtyard house dispersed.

"Master Yi, could you please arrange where I'll stay tonight?"

Shen Zhishou stopped Yi Zhonghai, who was about to return.

Yi Zhonghai immediately called out to Sha Zhu, and only after Sha Zhu came closer did he tell Sha Zhu about their previous arrangements.

"Master Yi, this isn't appropriate!"

Before Sha Zhu could even reply, Shen Zhishou stated his position directly, "I think that side room is Master He's sister's room. It's not appropriate for a grown man like me to stay there!"

"It will affect Master He's sister's reputation!"

"How about we let Comrade Yu Li move in, and I'll stay in the back room!"

"Brother, you're this one!"

After Shen Zhishou finished speaking, Shazhu immediately gave Shen Zhishou a thumbs up.

If Shen Zhishou hadn't explained it clearly, he really wouldn't have thought of that.

Yi Zhonghai, feigning sudden realization, hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think this through. Let's do it this way, let Comrade Yu Li stay in the room with the rainwater for now!"

It's not a good time for Yu Li to go back to her parents' home. After all, if she goes home on her first day of marriage, her neighbors will definitely ask what happened.

Even at this point, Yi Zhonghai was still trying to cover it up.

In the end, Yu Li went to sleep in He Yushui's room that night, while Shen Zhishou moved into the back room.

This was just a short time ago the back room of the new house, but everything inside had been moved out by the Yan family, except for that big bed.

The once neat and tidy room suddenly felt much emptier.

Shen Zhishou didn't take it seriously, thinking he would just buy some more furniture later.

The problem is how to solve this dinner issue.

Although he brought pots and pans, there was no stove or braising sauce, so it was impossible to just make do with whatever he wanted.

Shen Zhishou had no choice but to eat out.

The state-run restaurant bought ten steamed buns and a serving of braised pork, which Shen Zhishou finished in no time.

Then, he used his lunchbox to buy another serving of braised pork and two steamed buns before returning to the courtyard.

Now that Yu Li is his fiancée, he naturally can't let her go hungry.

You should cherish your own wife!

Given that Yu Li has fallen out with the Yan family, the Yan family probably won't care whether she has dinner or not.

As it turned out, Shen Zhishou's dinner was truly excellent value for money.

When Yu Li saw the dinner that Shen Zhishou had brought, she was so moved that she burst into tears. She then took the initiative to throw herself into his arms and gave him a kiss.

Even when Shen Zhishou's hands were very improper, she did not refuse; in fact, she was somewhat intoxicated by them.

Unfortunately, the timing wasn't right, and it couldn't continue.

"Eat it while it's hot!"

Shen Zhishou hugged Yu Li tightly, then reluctantly let her go. "I should go back now, otherwise the people in this courtyard will start gossiping!"

Although Shen Zhishou didn't care about these gossips, he still had to consider Yu Li's feelings.

……

Shen Zhishou walked out of the room and looked at the Jia family across the street. Sure enough, he saw a face through the gap in the curtains. It was Jia Zhangshi's fat face.

Jia Zhangshi didn't know if Shen Zhishou had seen her, but when Shen Zhishou looked over, she was so frightened that she hid behind the curtains.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Jia Dongxu noticed Jia Zhangshi's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask her a question.

Jia Zhangshi whispered, "Just now, I saw the new man go into He Yushui's room!"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing!"

Jia Zhangshi's triangular eyes gleamed with a calculating light. "I saw he was holding what looked like a lunchbox. Do you think he has something to do with that Yu Li?"

"What could it possibly have to do with anything?"

"Mom, can you stop being so paranoid every day?"

Jia Dongxu spoke with some irritation.

Can't things just stop for a moment every day?

Madam Jia snorted and said, "What do you know?"

"Don't you think today's events are too much of a coincidence?"

"I feel like this is wrong!"
