Chapter 243: Shameless Relatives

Yun Jiao sat steadily on top of the wall, swinging her short little legs. Her eyes were fixed intently on the gate, a handful of melon seeds in her hand.

At this moment, almost everyone’s attention was on the people at the gate, so hardly anyone noticed her.

Soon, the heads of Yun Xiaowu and numbers six, seven, eight, and nine popped up one after another, and they too nimbly climbed onto the wall.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... So shameless."

The people on the wall pointed and gestured at the Chen Family members at the gate.

"Who are you?!"

When the Chen family’s youngest son came to his senses, they immediately turned their hostility toward the people inside the gate.

A quick-witted young man inside the gate immediately shot back, "So you’re the shameless relatives Ms. Chen Wei was talking about?"

Don’t think for a second that soldiers don’t know how to curse.

Soldiers are people too, with all sorts of different personalities. Besides, there are always a few troublemakers and rascals in the ranks.

It’s just that people have a rather stereotyped image of them, thinking all soldiers are serious, stern, and not very talkative.

Of course, there’s also the fact that soldiers are expected to maintain a good public image.

But they were veterans now. With fewer restrictions, they were naturally more inclined to let their true natures show.

"Who are you talking about? Who’s shameless?! Ah-ha! No wonder that little bitch Chen Wei has gotten so bold. It’s because she’s found herself a lover!"

"Hey, you! Did you eat shit today? Your mouth is filthy."

"Ah Dong."

A steady voice cut in.

It was the tough-looking man with the scar on his face.

He was the tallest among them.

"I’d ask you all to please keep your language clean. Ms. Chen Wei has already sold this house to us."

"Impossible!!!"

The Chen Family members immediately became agitated. "Ah-ha! Chen Wei really went to great lengths to hog the house, didn’t she? Coming up with an excuse like that and even hiring a bunch of you to help her! You let that little bitch Chen Wei come out here! We’ll teach that clueless damn girl a lesson!"

With that, they rolled up their sleeves and tried to rush into the house.

But no matter how hard they pushed, the big guys at the gate blocked them completely.

They tried to get physical, but they were subdued the moment they started.

The Chen family’s youngest daughter-in-law, her hand held in a grip, started screaming.

"Molestation! Everyone, come and see! These men are molesting a woman..."

Ah Dong curled his lip in disgust. "Listen here, ma’am. My brothers and I don’t have standards that low. You’ve got no looks, no figure, and no morals. You’re even a married woman. Even if we were blind, we wouldn’t be interested in molesting you. Don’t you go ruining our reputations in public like this."

His words were truly venomous.

The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.

The Chen family’s youngest daughter-in-law stopped shouting about molestation. Her face turned purple with rage, and she looked like she wanted to claw Ah Dong’s face.

"This is bullying! This house belongs to my son! You people, who knows where you came from, are squatting in my son’s house! I’m going to report you!"

"Go ahead, go ahead. Check for yourselves. You’ll find out this house hasn’t been under Chen Wei’s name for a while."

Seeing how certain they were, the Chen Family members’ hearts jumped into their throats.

’That bitch Chen Wei couldn’t have really sold the house, could she?’

’No, we have to go find out for sure.’

Going head-to-head with a dozen or so tough guys would only end badly for the Chen Family. Anxious to confirm whether Chen Wei had really sold the house, they didn’t linger and quickly hurried away.

As soon as they were gone, Yun Jiao and her brothers hopped down from the wall.

Closing the gate to block the gazes of the people outside, Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe walked over and patted their shoulders.

"That was them. We’ll have to trouble you from now on."

"No problem."

For a group of big guys like them, dealing with the Chen Family wouldn’t be a problem at all.

"Um, so... can we keep dogs here?"

Ah Dong asked the question sheepishly. "Don’t worry, the dogs we keep are all retired military dogs. They’re very obedient, and we’ll keep the house clean. Besides, sometimes we’re all out at work, and with no one watching the house, I’m worried the Chen Family might climb the walls and wreck the place or something. Having dogs to guard the house would make it safer, right?"

Grandpa Yun said, "Of course, you can."

He also thought the young man’s idea was a good one.

’And retired military dogs, no less! Dogs trained in the armed forces... they must be incredible.’

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Yun."

The ten veterans all smiled.

The courtyard house was thus entrusted to these men. After observing them for a day, though it was a short time, the Yun family had a very good impression of them.

In the following days, besides visiting famous places around the Capital, including the Forbidden City, the Yun family also went to climb the Great Wall.

The day after they returned from the Great Wall, the Chen Family finally confirmed that Chen Wei had truly sold the house and had long since disappeared. For the Chen Family, it felt as if the sky had fallen.

That courtyard house could sell for tens of thousands now, but they hadn’t gotten a single cent.

How could those greedy members of the Chen family possibly be willing to accept that? How could they let it go?

So, after a few quiet days, they started causing trouble again.

The Chen family’s youngest son, his wife, and their son tried to climb over the courtyard wall, determined to squat inside.

But as soon as they got on top of the wall, several large dogs were there, baring their teeth and glaring at them menacingly.

The three of them were so scared they fell right back off the wall.

When one plan failed, they came up with another. This time, the two old scoundrels took charge, planting themselves right in front of the main gate. The moment the gate opened, they squeezed their way in and threw themselves on the ground, flailing and making a scene.

Then, they were picked up by several people and deposited on the main road outside.

"You two, if you want to cause a scene, do it on the street. What’s the point of causing trouble in someone else’s house? Also, we have five big dogs in here. Don’t even think about picking the lock or climbing the wall when we’re not home. If my brothers and I aren’t here, there’s no one to stop those dogs when they get fierce."

Just like that, they defused every attempt by the Chen Family to cause trouble.

The Yun family would occasionally go over to watch the spectacle.

Yun Jiao even became good friends with the military dogs they were keeping.

There were five military dogs. Two of them had retired normally due to old age.

The other three had been medically discharged due to injuries.

One of the dogs was missing a leg, another was blind in one eye, and a third was missing its left ear, its hearing affected as a result.

All three of these military dogs had been injured on duty.

After hearing their stories, the Yun family felt great sympathy for the five military dogs and would bring them treats from time to time.

Because of this, the Yun family also grew closer to the group of veterans.

When they learned that two of Yun Jiao’s older brothers had also gone to be soldiers, they became even more enthusiastic toward the Yun family.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, they had been in the Capital for almost a month.

It was almost May.

After Yun Jiao bought another three-courtyard siheyuan that she liked and registered it under her youngest uncle and aunt’s names, they bought train tickets and prepared to go home.
