My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 335: Jia Zhangshi Apologizes

Yan Fugui frowned: "How many do you want?"

Jia Zhangshi squinted and thought for a moment, then held out one hand and said, "Five yuan."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui shook his head vigorously, waving his hands repeatedly: "No, no, that's too much. We can only offer three yuan at most."

Upon hearing the number "three yuan," Jia Zhangshi was overjoyed and secretly gloated: They still wanted to manipulate me? They've fallen for my tricks this time.

On the surface, she pretended to be very reluctant and reluctantly agreed, nodding and saying, "Alright then, three yuan it is. But let me make this clear first, I will only apologize, don't expect me to do anything else."

After saying that, Jia Zhangshi subconsciously tightened her old clothes, as if afraid that someone would take advantage of her.

Liu Haizhong saw Jia Zhangshi's little trick and felt extremely disgusted. He couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Don't you even look at yourself? You're still wearing your clothes so tightly. Who would look at you? Who would dare to give you a second glance? It's utterly repulsive."

Yan Fugui, standing to the side, secretly felt relieved.

He had already planned it out in his mind. The money was originally Xu Damao's, so even if Jia Zhangshi insisted on five yuan, he would have to agree. Now, he only needed three yuan to get things done, and the remaining two yuan would naturally go into his own pocket.

Yan Fugui was secretly delighted: he had made a fortune this time. However, he was still a little disappointed. If Jia Zhangshi had agreed when it was only one yuan, he could have saved even more.

The three exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Madam Jia had finally agreed.

Without further ado, the three of them immediately took Jia Zhangshi and headed straight for Nan Yi's house.

Arriving at the door of Nanjing University of the Arts, Xu Damao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Liu Lan opened the door. She was stunned to see so many people standing there, then her face showed surprise. She quickly called out, "Nanjing University of the Arts! Nanjing University of the Arts! Come out quickly!"

Nanjing University of the Arts was busy inside when she heard Liu Lan's urgent call and quickly came out.

Upon seeing Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, Yan Fugui, and a reluctant-looking Jia Zhangshi standing at the door, he looked puzzled and asked, "What's going on here? Is there something you need?"

Liu Haizhong quickly stepped forward, a smile plastered on his face, and said to Nan Yi, "Nan Yi, don't be nervous or afraid. We've come here today specifically to apologize to you, Jia Zhangshi."

Upon hearing the word "apology," Nanjing University of the Arts was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

What was Jia Zhangshi's reputation like in the courtyard? She was notorious for being a shrew, unreasonable, and domineering person; her bad reputation was widespread. For Jia Zhangshi to actually lower her head and apologize? That would be like the sun rising in the west.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jia Zhangshi forced out a smile that was more like a grimace and made people want to vomit. She looked at Nan Yi and said stiffly, "Nan Yi, I'm sorry, I was wrong about what happened before."

After saying that, she turned her head to the side and refused to say another word.

Liu Lan and Nan Yi exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes, and for a moment they forgot to reply.

Seeing that Nan Yi and Liu Lan didn't react for a while, Yan Fugui coughed lightly to remind them.

Nanjing University of the Arts and Liu Lan then came to their senses.

After calming herself down, Nan Yi thought for a moment and said, "Since you've apologized, let's just forget about it. Let's wipe the slate clean and I won't hold it against you."

Hearing this, Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui were finally relieved; the matter was finally settled.

At this moment, seeing that her task was completed, Jia Zhangshi turned around and left without saying a word, her steps hurried, as if she would be uncomfortable staying even a second longer.

Jia Zhangshi's inexplicable behavior stunned everyone present, leaving them momentarily speechless.

Liu Haizhong cursed inwardly: This Jia Zhangshi is really uncouth. She only said one sentence and then ran away. She doesn't know any manners at all.

However, having already achieved his goal, he didn't bother to argue further. He turned to Nan Yi, a smile spreading across his face, and said, "Nan Yi, you've seen it too. My second uncle and Old Yan's third uncle have always wanted to do more for the courtyard. If you've encountered unreasonable situations like Jia Zhangshi's before, you can come to us earlier next time. See, we've handled it perfectly for you now!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao was displeased that Liu Haizhong had only mentioned him and Yan Fugui, without mentioning himself at all. He quickly interjected, "Nanyi, don't listen to Second Uncle. I was the one who first reminded the two managers about this matter, and I was the one who came up with the idea. The credit can't all be given to them."

Yan Fugui stood aside, watching the two vying for credit, and thought to himself: You've already said everything, what am I supposed to say?

He coughed lightly and said, "They provided the labor, I provided the money."

Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao both looked at Yan Fugui, their eyes filled with displeasure. Yan Fugui blushed and quickly turned his head away, pretending to look elsewhere.

Liu Lan was completely confused and couldn't help but ask, "Contribute labor and money? What does that mean?"

Upon hearing this, the three quickly came to their senses, fearing that they would be exposed.

Xu Damao quickly smoothed things over, saying with a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Uncle San was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Liu Haizhong quickly chimed in, looking at Nan Yi and saying, "Nan Yi, as you've seen, in this courtyard, if anything happens, we'll have to rely on me and Uncle San. So, if you encounter anything in the courtyard in the future, remember to come to us immediately, and we'll take care of it for you."

Yan Fugui chimed in, "Yes, Nan Yi, you haven't been here long, so there are many things you don't know. We're all veterans here, and we know everyone's personality inside and out. With us here, no one will dare to bully you easily."

Xu Damao also said with a smile, "Comrade Nanyi, we've also looked into your situation. That idiot Sha Zhu deliberately caused you trouble when you came to the factory. That kind of person is arrogant and unreasonable; you shouldn't associate with him. You'd better stay away from him."

Listening to the three of them talking back and forth, Liu Lan instantly understood.

She walked directly in front of Nan Yi without making a sound, blocking his way. With a polite smile, she said to the three of them, "Thank you for your help. We've only been in the courtyard for a short time, and we haven't had time to attend to many things. Don't worry, we definitely won't cause trouble in this courtyard, and we certainly won't initiate any conflicts with anyone. Of course, we won't side with just anyone either; we just want to live a peaceful life."

Hearing Liu Lan's words, Nanjing University of the Arts was a little confused and wondered to itself: Why would Liu Lan say that?

Yan Fugui, however, was perfectly aware of Liu Lan's thoughts and immediately saw through them. He smiled and said, "That's good, that's good. However, we still hope that if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can tell us directly in the yard. After all, there's strength in numbers."

Liu Lan replied with a smile, "Then thank you very much, Uncle. We won't stand on ceremony if we need anything."

Liu Haizhong wanted to say something more, but Xu Damao quietly stopped him with a look.

After exchanging a few more polite words, the three of them turned and left the Nan Yi family's home.
