The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 572 The Troublesome Yan Family

Chapter 572 The Troublesome Yan Family

As soon as Li Qin entered Tie Niu's house, he saw Aunt Wang busy cooking. No wonder it was Tie Niu who opened the door earlier.

Li Qin immediately greeted him;

"Aunt Wang!"

"Xiao Li, please have a seat. I'll be done with my work soon."

Upon hearing Li Qin's voice, Aunt Wang immediately looked over, but her face showed an apologetic expression.

"Aunt Wang, you're busy, don't worry about me, I'll be leaving soon."

When Li Qin saw that Aunt Wang was busy cooking, he quickly waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

"Tie Niu, go and bring over your family's big basin."

Li Qin turned around and looked at Tie Niu.

Upon hearing this, Tie Niu did not move, but instead looked at Aunt Wang.

Seeing this, Li Qin could only explain to Granny Wang;

"Aunt Wang, I cooked a big pot of bone broth today. You know I live alone, so I can't possibly finish it all. I'm sharing it with everyone to share the flavor."

Seeing that Aunt Wang seemed about to refuse, Li Qin continued, "Auntie, please don't refuse. I've already given them to the other residents in the central courtyard, so please accept them without worry."

When Aunt Wang, who had originally intended to refuse, heard Li Qin say that other residents also had them, she held back the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue.

Seeing this, Li Qin didn't give the other party any more time to think and said to Tie Niu again, "Tie Niu, go and get the basin."

After saying that, Li Qin smiled and patted Tie Niu on the head.

Tie Niu first looked at his grandmother to make sure she didn't refuse before he went to get a basin.

Li Qin then poured the remaining bone broth, radishes, and cabbage from his bowl into the bowl in Tie Niu's hand.

The basin in Tie Niu's hand was much smaller than the one in Li Qin's hand.

So even though it was all left, they still filled the basin in Tie Niu's hand to the brim.

"This is too much, too much, Xiao Li, you've given us way too much. You should take some back and save it for your next meal."

Aunt Wang originally thought that Li Qin would just pack some, but she didn't expect him to pack so much in the end.

Anxiety immediately appeared on her face.

Li Qin naturally couldn't take the things back;

"Auntie, please don't be shy. It's just some soupy stuff. You and Tie Niu can keep it and try it. I'll head back now."

After saying that, Li Qin turned and left Tie Niu's house, giving the other party no chance to refuse or be polite.

As Wang Da Niang watched Li Qin's departing figure, her eyes were filled with emotion.

She could see it clearly: the bone broth was covered with a thick layer of oil. If this were in an ordinary household, they would have to add water and divide it into several meals.

Not to mention that Li Qin directly distributed so much to their family.

This was clearly intentional.

"The middle courtyard is finished, and Da Mao should have almost finished the front yard as well. Now only the back yard is left."

As Li Qin left Tie Niu's house, his expression relaxed slightly.

"Li Qin, are you done here too?"

Just then, Xu Damao walked in through the passageway carrying an empty basin.

Seeing that Li Qin's basin was also empty, Xu Damao immediately guessed the progress on Li Qin's side.

Li Qin nodded in agreement;

"We'll go back to the backyard together."

The two of them, with snowflakes falling from their heads, began to walk towards the backyard.

"By the way, when I distributed the items as you suggested, I gave the Miao people a little more than they should have."

Xu Damao suddenly spoke up on the way.

This was something Li Qin had previously instructed him to do.

Li Qin nodded immediately.

However, at this moment, Xu Damao's face showed a conflicted expression, as if he had something to say but was a little embarrassed.

Upon noticing this, Li Qin looked over curiously and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Upon hearing his question, Xu Damao's expression froze for a moment, then his eyes hardened.

"Li Qin, there's something I think I should tell you."

"What's wrong?"

Li Qin looked completely indifferent.

He didn't think Xu Damao could cause anything big, or that things might just happen in the courtyard house.

But to say that they could create a major news story that would shock Li Qin is definitely impossible.

Perhaps it was Li Qin's attitude, or perhaps it was for other reasons, but Xu Damao's expression was no longer hesitant.

He immediately said, "When we were distributing food in the front yard, I got so annoyed when we got to Uncle San's house that I ended up giving him two extra spoonfuls."

Xu Damao glanced at Li Qin cautiously.

Knowing that Li Qin and Yan Bugui's family were at odds, his actions were indeed somewhat inappropriate.

Xu Damao felt quite helpless.

When he arrived with the gifts, Yan Bugui's family acted like wolves seeing a piece of meat, clinging to him and refusing to let him leave.

If Xu Damao hadn't brought up Li Qin's name, he might still be stuck in this mess.

Even so, Xu Damao still had to give the Yan family a larger share.

"I thought something serious had happened, but it turns out it's just a small matter. Don't worry about it, it's nothing."

Li Qin waved his hand again, looking completely indifferent.

"Since I chose to distribute bone broth to all residents of the hospital, I never intended to target anyone. I know the Yan family's personality, so you must have made this choice out of desperation."

So don't worry about it.

Knowing that the Yan family were stingy and calculating to the core, Li Qin naturally didn't care that Xu Damao would encounter this situation.

After all, it's just some soup and broth, so giving a little more to the Yan family isn't a big deal.

Seeing how easily Li Qin had turned the matter around, Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief.

A smile returned to his face.

"Time is running out. Let's hurry back to the backyard and distribute the bone broth to each household there. That will be the end of it."

Seeing that the person he had arranged to meet was about to arrive, Li Qin quickened his pace.

Li Qin didn't want all his classmates to arrive while he was still busy with the trivial matters of the courtyard house.

Seeing this, Xu Damao quickened his pace to catch up.

"To get this done faster, let's split up. That will definitely be quicker."

Back in the backyard, Li Qin spoke to Xu Damao again.

He originally planned to handle the residents in the backyard by himself and let Xu Damao rest, but now it seems that Xu Damao will have to continue working.

Fortunately, Xu Damao did not object and readily agreed.

After the distribution was completed, Li Qin and Xu Damao each carried a bowl of bone broth and began working in the backyard.

With the experience gained from the front and middle yards, they were much faster when they got to the back yard.

In just a short while, only the last two shops remained.

The Xu family and the deaf old lady's home.

"Da Mao, take the food in the basin back so your family can also try my cooking. I'm going to the deaf old lady's house."

Li Qin made the arrangements without even thinking about it.

Xu Damao nodded and turned to walk towards his home.

Li Qin, carrying the basin in his hand, walked towards the deaf old woman's house.

"Knock knock knock!"

When Li Qin arrived at the deaf old woman's door, he still knocked on the door very politely.

Who is it?

Soon, the deaf old woman's somewhat aged voice came from inside the room.
