Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

Qin Huairu silently wiped away her tears, but eventually went over to help Jia Zhangshi up.

Jia Zhangshi was filled with rage, thinking:

Why do all the good things happen to Zhao De?

I was filled with jealousy and pain, and my whole body ached, but there was nothing I could do.

He had no choice but to stagger away, cursing under his breath.

At this moment, Zhao De took Yu Shui's little hand and asked:

"Rain, can you take me to Sister Yu Li's house?"

"My brother said he was going to have dinner at my sister-in-law's house tonight. Judging from the sky, he's probably already gone there."

Rainwater makes hands smooth and delicate.

As soon as Zhao Degang finished speaking, Xu Damao immediately jumped out and said:

"Qianqian, let's eat at Shazhu's house tonight. We still have a lot of ingredients left over from lunch!"

Xu Damao was unwilling to let Qianqian leave; the plan he had been working on hadn't been implemented yet.

At the same time, these words also served as a wake-up call for Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng.

That's right, we absolutely can't let Sha Zhu get away with this!

Sha Zhu didn't care at all and even joined in the persuasion.

Anyway, he wanted to let Qianqian taste his cooking again, and hopefully even make her fall in love with his cooking skills.

Zhao De hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement:

"Alright then, but thank you for your trouble, Brother Shazhu!"

"I told you not to call me brother, and besides, this is nothing."

Sha Zhu waved his hand, his face beaming with joy.

So the group returned to Sha Zhu's house and gathered together happily.

However, Yan Jiekuang and Liu Guangfu have been missing since just now.

Zhao De knew in his heart that the two of them had probably gone out to stake out the deliverymen and were intercepting them!

Meanwhile, at the home of the third uncle in the front yard, Yan Bugui returned home and listened to his wife recount what had happened.

His facial expressions were truly ever-changing, like a theatrical performance.

Initially, he approved of Yan Jiecheng's interference and seizure of bicycle tickets.

Then I felt sorry for her, and the more I thought about it, the more sorry I felt.

When he finally learned that the bicycle tickets had all been taken, the frustration and irritation he felt were indescribable.

"Is he really absolutely certain?"

Yan Bugui's hands were trembling.

This isn't just a bicycle; it also includes half a month's worth of ingredients!

If the bicycle falls into someone else's hands, given his temperament, he probably won't even show a smile on New Year's Eve.

I'll feel sorry for them from the first day of the Lunar New Year until New Year's Eve.

Looking back now, the three aunts also realize that their decision at the time was somewhat impulsive.

However, what's done is done, so all we can do is hope for a good ending.

To comfort Yan Bugui, she specifically mentioned:

"Old Liu's eldest son also spent a lot of money this time, reportedly several hundred yuan, and even bought a radio."

"What? Liu Guangqi actually bought a radio?"

Yan Bugui was taken aback.

He knew that Lao Liu had always longed to own a radio.

He even went to the pigeon market to get tickets and made preparations well in advance.

During their previous conversations, Lao Liu always hinted that he wanted to show off his radio during the Chinese New Year.

Sure enough, Yan Bugui immediately laughed after realizing what was happening.

Since the hospital-wide meeting that night, he and Lao Liu have had a clear difference in their positions.

Old Liu naturally sided with Zhao De.

Yan Bugui thus became the opposing side.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Radio and Bicycle, Given Away Without a Till!

But then Yan Bugui's face darkened again.

"That radio definitely didn't cost that much; there must have been other gifts included."

"From this perspective, with only one bicycle, aren't our chances of winning the lowest?"

The three women reported other information truthfully.

"That's not entirely true. According to Jie Kuang, Xu Damao didn't spend a single penny."

"Shazhu simply bought him a ready-made winter cotton-padded coat."

"I was wondering why you kept staring at them. One of them has a bad reputation, and the other has an ambiguous relationship with the widow."

"The real threat is actually Liu Guangqi."

Yan Bugui was extremely anxious.

"That kid must be feeling really frustrated, right? He must have complained to you a lot about how poor his family is, right?"

"That's right, the salary of the guy with bangs is twice as high as yours."

"How could he not be anxious when he saw Liu Guangqi buying things like that!"

The three women sighed.

Yan Bugui pondered for a moment, seemingly making a decision.

"Or we can just give it to Liu Guangqi. If we're going to compete, we have to go all out!"

"What do you mean?"

The three women looked completely bewildered.

Yan Bugui took a deep breath and said with a smile:

"Why don't you take out the bracelet and let Jie Cheng give it to that girl?"

"That won't do!"

The three women couldn't help but shrink back.

"Honey, that's what Mom left me before she passed away!"

Yan Bugui waved his hand.

"So, sooner or later it will be passed on to Zhao Qianqian."

"But this matter hasn't been decided yet!"

"Sending it after it's done is just icing on the cake. Right now, we have to fight tooth and nail for it, do you understand?"

"What if Liu Guangqi really snatches that girl away?"

"That's fine too. Once the things are sent out, we can always find an excuse to get them back in the end, right?"

That makes some sense.

After all, that bracelet is an antique, and it's quite expensive!

In the end, the three women suppressed their grievances.

After rummaging through drawers and cabinets, I found the bracelet. Just by looking at its color, I knew it was something extraordinary.

"Don't look so sad. This isn't something that can never be undone."

"If the plan is to marry her, won't she eventually be entrusted to you for safekeeping?"

The three women were initially surprised.

Then, looking at her husband with admiration, her mood immediately improved.

"Give this to me, I'll take it to Jie Cheng."

After taking the bracelet, Yan Bugui immediately went out the door.

The situation is urgent; we must place our bets along with Old Liu's family!

Upon arriving at the courtyard of the central compound, Yan Bugui did not go inside.

Instead, they looked for a suitable opportunity outside.

After Yan Jiecheng came out, they pulled him to a corner of the covered walkway.
