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

Chapter 38 Who ruined Yan Jiecheng's blind date?

As Shen Zhishou left the steel rolling mill, he encountered Xu Damao again, and even Sha Zhu. To be precise, Sha Zhu was chasing after Xu Damao again.

These two are really a pair of clowns!

Shen Zhishou didn't want to pay attention to them, but Xu Damao had sharp eyes. After spotting Shen Zhishou, he ran quickly and darted behind Shen Zhishou.

"Brother, you have to stand up for me!"

"That stupid idiot Zhu can't win an argument with me, so he wants to hit me!"

"Brother Xu, aren't you two just joking around?"

Shen Zhishou blinked, and while talking to Xu Damao, he reached out to stop Shazhu, "Master He, joking around is fine, but you can't actually fight!"

"Comrade Shen, you have no idea how much of a jerk Xu Damao deserves to be beaten!"

Out of respect for Shen Zhishou, Sha Zhu stopped pursuing Xu Damao and began to explain the whole story to Shen Zhishou.

Shen Zhishou was dumbfounded when he heard Sha Zhu's words.

Xu Damao actually went to the cafeteria to harass Liu Lan!

real or fake?

"You idiot Zhu, you're fucking framing me!"

"I just exchanged a few more words with Liu Lan,"

"Which eye of yours saw me flirting with her?"

"Let me tell you, you need evidence to back up your claims. You're just throwing mud at me without any proof, and I'm not letting this go!"

Xu Damao has a lot of talk, but no matter how much he talks, it's all useless.

"I'm saying, why don't you two go find that girl, Liu Lan, right? Confront her!"

Shen Zhishou had no intention of judging Xu Damao and Shazhu's family affairs, so he simply cut to the chase and pointed directly to the crux of the problem.

The two had different versions of events, but both involved one person: Liu Lan.

Since it's hard to explain, let's find something that can.

"Alright, let's go confront Liu Lan!"

Sha Zhu felt he was in the right and was a righteous judge, so he was naturally unafraid to confront Liu Lan.

Xu Damao, on the other hand, immediately chickened out.

"Silly Zhu, it's already after get off work, where are we going to find someone?"

"Unlike you, I don't have nothing better to do!"

"I can't be bothered with you!"

After saying these words, Xu Damao took off running.

"Comrade Shen, you saw it, didn't you!"

"That bastard Xu Damao is a complete scoundrel; you should avoid associating with him from now on!"

Sha Zhu acted as if he was doing it for Shen Zhishou's own good, and earnestly advised Shen Zhishou for a while.

Shen Zhishou simply smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

Teasing Liu Lan?

Shen Zhishou felt that Xu Damao shouldn't be so audacious; at most, he would just make a few flirtatious remarks.

However, Xu Damao had something to hide, so he didn't dare to confront Liu Lan.

Shen Zhishou was almost certain that even if they confronted Liu Lan, she would not admit that Xu Damao had harassed her, because if such a thing got out, Liu Lan's reputation would be greatly affected.

Yes, that's how unfair the world is!

……

Back to the courtyard house.

Shen Zhishou ran into Yan Bugui at the door. Yan Bugui had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Teacher Yan!"

Shen Zhishou greeted the other party, nodded, and walked into the courtyard.

Yan Bugui nodded in response, remaining standing at the door as a true guardian of the courtyard house.

Back home, Yu Li spoke with Shen Zhishou, who then learned why Yan Bugui was so happy.

Yan Jiecheng went on another blind date!

The other person was quite good-looking, with a delicate and refined appearance, and it was said that her family was a scholarly family.

"You wouldn't believe how smug Auntie was this afternoon, as if she wanted everyone in the courtyard to know that her Yan Jiecheng had found another beautiful girl!"

Speaking of this, Yu Li felt angry and wanted to make things worse for Yan Jiecheng's blind date.

"Do whatever you want. If anything happens, your man will cover for you!"

Shen Zhishou did not advise Yu Li to be magnanimous.

In this situation, no one could be magnanimous.

However, Shen Zhishou felt that the Yan family had learned their lesson from the previous experience, so they shouldn't try to deceive him into marriage again this time!

After all, you learn from your mistakes!

Yan Bugui was at least a cultured man; he wouldn't be so forgetful of past mistakes.

However, to Shen Zhishou and Yu Li's surprise, the matchmaking between Yan Jiecheng and the girl ultimately fell through.

Yu Li hadn't even had a chance to make a move yet.

To their dismay, Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua blocked the entrance to the back room, demanding an explanation from them.

"Teacher Yan, what are you saying?"

"We'll give you an explanation? What explanation? Why?"

Shen Zhishou was genuinely curious.

Is it really that strange that Yan Jiecheng didn't approve of it?

If that girl really comes from a scholarly family, her standards are probably quite high. Given the Yan family's circumstances, isn't it normal that they look down on her?

"The girl said that someone in our neighborhood was saying bad things about our family!"

"That deal fell through!"

"In our compound, the family that doesn't get along with us is yours!"

Yang Ruihua was eloquent and decisively concluded that Shen Zhishou and Yu Ligan were behind the affair.

"Teacher Yan, I have a question. Since you're so sure it was us, my husband and I who did it, why don't you invite that girl here so we can confront her face to face?"

Before, when they were leaving get off work at the factory gate, Shen Zhishou suggested that Xu Damao and Shazhu confront Liu Lan. But when they returned to the courtyard, the person who needed to confront them was themselves!

"Let's confront each other then!"

Yang Ruihua has a very strong backbone.

However, Yan Bugui was having second thoughts. Shen Zhishou's assertiveness made him feel that things might have gone wrong.

But the girl's family had the matchmaker relay a message that a rather tall man had told them. They weren't sure if it was true or not, but it was a general rule: the Yan family and their neighbors in the courtyard were at odds. Regardless of whose fault it was, it was troublesome, and the family didn't want their daughter to marry into such a troublesome household.

Because the matchmaker said he was quite tall, the two subconsciously thought of Shen Zhishou, since Shen Zhishou was indeed tall.

But Shen Zhishou wasn't the only tall man in this courtyard!

"Xiao Shen, I'm so sorry!"

"We might have made a mistake!"

"I apologize to you!"

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, please forgive me!"

Yan Bugui apologized repeatedly and took Yang Ruihua's hand as they walked home.

"What's wrong?"

"Who else could it be besides them?"

Yang Ruihua was unconvinced.

Yan Bugui lowered his voice and said, "Shen Zhishou isn't the only tall man in our compound. Don't forget Xu Damao too!"

"Xu Damao? That can't be!"

"He has no grudge against our family!"

Yang Ruihua felt that Xu Damao couldn't have done this, because there was no reason for it.

Yan Bugui lowered his voice and said, "Xu Damao has no grudge against our family, but what if he accidentally lets something slip?"

When two families meet, in addition to the parties involved having a chat, their families may also secretly inquire about each other's family situations.

The parents of those in charge would never fail to conduct any investigation.

That's how Yan Jiecheng's deal fell through.

However, it's really hard to say who leaked the information.

Furthermore, Xu Damao hasn't returned to the courtyard house yet, so it's not easy to confront him about this matter!

If we keep focusing on Shen Zhishou and his wife, and it turns out we were wrong, then things will get complicated.
