The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 23 Want to cry but no tears

Yan Bugui really wanted to cry but had no tears, so he finally compromised:

"I won't return the flour. I'll give you 41 yuan, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

Chen Ping didn't say anything, as if she was thinking.

The people around him tried to persuade him, "Xiao Chen, you didn't suffer any loss, just let it go this time."

“We are all neighbors, it’s not worth it to go to the police station, just forget it” “I guess she won’t dare to do it again in the future, so let’s just leave it at that”…

Chen Ping wanted to say something, but finally said calmly: "Okay, forget it, let's just leave it at that."

Seeing that Chen Ping wanted to say something more, Yan Bugui quickly took out the money, handed it to Chen Ping, and left quickly.

Chen Ping immediately forced an awkward smile and said: "Thank you all for your righteous words. I will come to thank you all this afternoon. I will also have to trouble one of the ladies to help me lift the cabinet. It's not heavy. Thank you."

An older lady with a pretty face said, "Let me do it. I've just eaten and I don't have anything to do right now." The others saw that the cabinet was indeed not heavy, so they all went back.

"Thank you, I'll put the child in the house first," Chen Ping quickly thanked.

It was just a box and a chest of drawers, so it was no big deal. The two of them finished moving it in two trips. Chen Ping quickly went to pour a bowl of water, put it on the table, and took out three or four pieces of crisp candy and handed them to the older sister, saying:

"Thank you, big sister. Do you live in the backyard? What's your last name? I just got here and I don't recognize everyone. I'm so sorry."

"Well, we are from the same courtyard, why are you being so polite? It's just a matter of fact. My name is Wu Guihua, from the old Li family in the backyard, the same old Li who was teased yesterday.

I don't think this girl is stingy, so I won't be polite to her." Wu Guihua waved her hand nonchalantly.

Then he took the candy and said, "Sister, you did a great job today. I have never seen Mr. and Mrs. Yan suffer any loss.

The couple only know how to say nice things but don't do nice things. If you really need them for something, you have to give them a gift.

I really don't understand the little words you made up. You are just a teacher, bragging about your family of scholars all day long. Today I feel really comfortable. Haha". Wu Guihua clapped his hands in praise.

Chen Ping smiled shyly and said, "Sister Guihua, you are too polite. The main reason is that what they did was too disgusting. They came to my house quietly to get things.

You don't consider yourself an outsider at all. In fact, you are not very familiar with them.

It's really annoying to hear people calling me a country bumpkin and saying I have no manners all day long in the front yard.

A month ago, they asked me to lend them a bowl of white noodles and said they would return me a garlic. This is really bullying. Today, I will take this opportunity to teach them a lesson.

Don't always think that you are superior to others. You are forced to do so. Haha."

“In fact, his family is not from here. I heard that they were prosperous in the past, but are now in decline.

When we just moved here last year, there was a lot of fuss about the house. They insisted that the house was once the house of a private school teacher, and that it was related to the integrity of scholars or something like that. Anyway, they were all talking about a lot of words that I couldn't understand.

In fact, he just thought that the house was solid and didn't need any more repairs. In the end, it really worked. You said it was evil. Sister, how did you know she came into the house? Didn't you not enter the house? Teach me." Wu Guihua seemed to be a person of true temperament, and he spoke very familiarly.

Chen Ping pointed to the door and said, "You'll understand if you look at the ground." Then the two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"If Old Yan knew that he had fallen into such a trap with such worthless sand, he would probably vomit blood. Haha... this method is good, it saves money and is effective. Girl, you are this..." Wu Guihua gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, sister, I've done my job, received the money, and got the benefits, so I'm going to go back first. You should eat quickly. If you have nothing to do, you can go for a walk in the backyard. The kids are in school, and I'm at home with nothing to do. We can just hang out together," Wu Guihua said as he stood up.

"Then I won't be polite with you. I will definitely come to talk to you when I have time," said Chen Ping as he sent her to the door.

After seeing Wu Guihua off, Chen Ping began to sort out the things she had bought, adjusting the time on the clock and placing it on the chest of drawers. She also sorted out the new things she had bought, her son's clothes, awards, candies, etc., and locked them up.

I started to sort out the food again. Except for some necessary seasonings and corn flour, I put everything else in the cabinet. While working, I was still thinking about how great my son was.

The chest of drawers has secret compartments, and the grain cabinet is double-layered, and the store has also made partitions, some surface and some hidden.

How come my son is so outstanding? I looked around the room again, but didn't see anything wrong. I decided to ask my son.

Lu Zixuan woke up and found Chen Ping in a daze, so he exclaimed, "Ah!"

Chen Ping quickly ran to her son's bedside and asked, "Is your son awake? Are you hungry?"

[I'm not hungry. What are you doing? Haven't you eaten yet?] Lu Zixuan looked at Chen Ping and asked.

Chen Ping shook her head: "I'm not hungry either, I'm just looking for something missing at home."

Lu Zixuan was helpless [There are too many things missing, are you sure you want to buy them all? ]

Chen Ping replied: "It depends. Buy what's cheap and necessary. I don't think you need anything. Let Lu Zhihai buy the rest."

Lu Zixuan looked around and counted in his mind, "Please pick me up and I will tell you some of the things you need first.

There was a kettle, a frying pan, a spoon, a spatula, a kitchen knife, a plate, and a basin of different sizes. Basically all the kitchen utensils were missing.

There are ten nails, which are used to fix the table, stools and stools. You can take them with you when you go out, and you can also use them when you entertain guests at home.

10 big nails are nailed to the wall to hang kitchen utensils or clothes, mirrors and combs. People need to tidy themselves up a bit before going out. It is polite and respectful to others.

When guests come, it is actually impolite to only pour water from a teacup or teapot using a bowl.

The altar or offering table is longer, and they will tell you if you go to a wood shop.

The official hat chair or the imperial chair are more solemn and can clearly distinguish between the host and the guest.

The kitchen, living room, and bedroom should all be separated. You can either buy cloth to make curtains or use wooden boards to separate them. I recommend using wooden boards.

There are indeed a lot of things missing, let's slowly buy them. 】

[You eat first, I will teach you how to make a baby carrier and underwear]

[During this period, we have nothing to do in the morning, so we go shopping for household items. In the afternoon, I will teach you some more practical things. I don’t know what I will teach you specifically, but I will teach you whatever I think of.]

[But you have to eat first, and your nutrition must be balanced. If you skip meals every day or only eat coarse grains, your body will collapse.

In fact, no one has done the math, but eating well saves money than eating too much.

For example, if you eat oily noodles for a long time, you can only eat 1.5 liang per meal at most. But what about corn noodles? Would you feel full after eating half a jin?

No, the more you eat, the bigger your stomach becomes, and it becomes harder to get full. The purpose of eating is to have strength, but if you eat well, you will have more strength.

If you eat coarse grains and no oily food for a long time, your intestines will easily have problems. Won't it cost money to go to the hospital?

So as the old saying goes, food supplements are worse than medicine supplements. No matter how you look at it, it is more cost-effective to eat well.]

"That seems to be the case," Chen Ping agreed.
