Chapter 2164 Only the weak complain about their environment; the strong always make use of it.
After another ten minutes or so of fussing, still no one came to open the door for Jia Zhangshi.
So the woman channeled her grief and anger into her appetite and went to fry eggs. Fortunately, she didn't impulsively set fire to the yard to attract attention. Otherwise, Lin Chen really couldn't have let her burn down the yard...
"Zhu Daqiang, you won't let me sit at the table, huh! I'll make you eat all three of these eggs..."
Qiangzi works hard pedaling his tricycle every day, so his food rations are pretty good. This guy has no children, so he won't skimp on himself. That's why he often goes to the pigeon market to get some eggs…
Jia Zhangshi could only get an egg occasionally to supplement her diet; she couldn't eat it every day... But now, in her anger and embarrassment, Jia Zhangshi wanted to eat it all.
As the woman fried eggs in lard, she planned how to run away from home. Lin Chen wanted to give Li Huaide a chance to get revenge, but he needed to release Jia Zhangshi first.
This is why Lin Chen said he was helping Jia Zhangshi; if she hadn't fainted, the second aunt and the others wouldn't have let it go.
Now he's helping her avoid disaster and finding an excuse for her to go to Fuchengmen tomorrow night... She really should thank Brother Lin.
"I was just worrying about how to keep my appointment tomorrow... and now the opportunity has come!"
After Jia Zhangshi figured things out and decided to play along, her anger subsided considerably.
Only the weak complain about their environment; the strong only take advantage of it.
Now, Jia Zhangshi has come up with a good idea.
At the head table of the middle courtyard, Uncle Wang, leaning on his cane, came over to offer a toast.
"Brother Lin, you are my second father! This cup is for you, bottoms up..."
Lin Chen picked up the wine cup in one hand and patted the other's shoulder with the other: "We're all from the same courtyard, why say such things! Come to the backyard first thing tomorrow morning, I'll prepare your medicine. I've already prepared the 'Rootless Water' to help you with the medicine's preparation these past few days. From now on, Lao Ba, you must stay away from trouble..."
Lin Chen verbally told him to stay away from trouble, but he actually put him in charge of hosting next week's arena competition. Wang Baye wanted to leave, but he needed to find a way to avoid it!
Putting aside whether they can make money, if Qiao Qiqi and her gang lose again, they'll be jumping up and down in a panic.
When Lin Chen is the bookmaker, everyone is willing to accept the outcome of their bet, but it's hard to say what Master Wang might say.
"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder, Brother Lin. I promise not to get involved in things that don't concern me. I'll stick to driving my tricycle from now on."
At this moment, Ma Banjie, who was standing to the side, became curious.
"Uncle Lin, what is water without roots?"
Lin Chen first clinked glasses with Wang Baye before explaining to him what rootless water was.
"The rainwater collected in the glass jar in front of my house is rootless water. Only by using the water from that jar can the medicine be most effective."
Ma Banjie can't afford medicinal herbs, so he can only drink a few scoops of rootless water for now.
"I see, thank you for telling me, Uncle Lin."
The courtyard house was bustling with activity as a banquet was being held, but the atmosphere was far less cheerful in the naval compound on the other side of Beijing.
After Zhong Zhengguo came to deliver the message in the morning, the Zhang family came to the Li family to mediate.
The Zhang family has lost their temper; they don't want to offend the Lin family over a child's tantrum. But the Li family is not so happy!
"Old Zhang, it's not that your sister-in-law is protecting her son. Do you know how badly they beat my Yuanchao? We absolutely have to get an explanation. And I don't know how the teachers at Hongxing Elementary School educate their students. If they can't handle it, they should replace them..."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang immediately apologized again, since the whole thing started because of their son, Zhang Haiyang.
"Sister-in-law, this is all Haiyang's fault. Old Zhang has already whipped him with a belt, so you should just let it go!"
Li Yuanchao's mother was fiercely protective of her son, and she had been inquiring about the steel rolling mill for the past few days. She already knew a little about Lin Chen... but she wasn't at her level to access the most crucial information.
For example, the Lou family's top executives approved sending people abroad to earn foreign exchange; even the Li family couldn't reach them. Not to mention Lin Chen's connections with those at the top…
"Alright! Since you've put it that way, Shuying, I'll talk to my husband, Lao Li, and we'll let it go this time!"
The woman said she'd let it go, but she hadn't truly let it go in her heart.
Lin Chen sent Zhong Zhengguo to deliver the message as a prelude to a policy of diplomacy before resorting to force. Lin Chen knew all too well who Li Yuanchao's mother was.
If the couple hadn't been so protective of their son, Li Yuanchao wouldn't have become a big boss. He certainly wouldn't have led hundreds of men to kill that little brat... wasn't it all thanks to the Li family's protection?
However, this time, if the Li family causes trouble, Lin Chen will not tolerate the couple.
Last year, Lin Chen helped his Uncle Li get an eyeball replaced. What kind of relationship is that? His uncle didn't even need to lift a finger; Uncle Li just happens to be the Li family's direct superior. In the naval compound, who isn't under Uncle Li's jurisdiction?
The Zhang family has done everything they can! Anyway, whatever happens, it has nothing to do with their family.
……
eight pm
The men in the courtyard all went home drunk, leaving a mess after the feast... It was the women who had to clean up and tidy it up.
Since Liao Yimei and Xiang Nanfang are both unsuitable to serve Lin Chen tea and water, this task falls to Xiao Wenya. After all, while others might not be able to explain, she'll be fine.
After all, the old man's character speaks for itself; who would dare to suspect that he would bully a child?
Everyone now believes that it was Li Dabao and Li Jingya, brother and sister, who instigated it, just to curry favor with the Lin family!
"Brother Lin Chen, the mouthwash is here!"
Xiao Wenya walked happily to her brother Lin Chen's side and fed him the food.
"Good boy! There's about to be a fight in the front yard! Aren't you going to go check on it?"
The little girl looked towards the front yard and shook her head. It's almost time to sleep, who would want to argue?
"My stomach has been hurting a bit these past couple of days, so I'm not going to see a doctor. Brother Lin Chen, could you help me think of something?"
Although this wasn't the first time the girl had her period, she was bound to experience some stomach discomfort.
"You're here again so soon? Come here and let me see..."
Xiao Wenya immediately stuck to him; watching them argue was certainly entertaining. But if she could be with Lin Chen, she wouldn't mind not watching the arguments.
"Brother Lin Chen, isn't it strange that my stomach doesn't hurt as much as soon as I get close to you?"
Lin Chen thought, "It's good that you're not upset!"
"It's just your imagination. Eat this and I guarantee you'll sleep well tonight."
Lin Chen casually put a small sugar pill into the little girl's mouth.
"Thank you, Brother Lin Chen! I can't go with Sister Nan and the others tonight!"
Just then, shouts and curses came from the front yard...
Xiao Wenya sat happily in the lap of the person she liked, not caring about the argument.
"Who is Lin Chen? Doesn't he sleep at night?"
"Who else could it be? Jia Zhangshi in the front yard has been locked up at home by Qiangzi. This woman missed today's sumptuous feast, no wonder she's making a scene with Qiangzi. Listen, it's already started!"
