Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Sha Zhu felt that the matter was serious. Even if he was not very smart, he knew that kicking someone out of the family would not end well. What's more, Xu Damao had been at odds with him since childhood, and he probably hated him even more now. He was afraid that he was completely finished this time.

Yu Shui felt a little nervous as she watched her brother stop chewing the steamed bun and whose expression kept changing.

"Brother, is it serious?"

"It's okay, it's okay, you go back first..."

Sha Zhu forced a smile, his expression uglier than a ghost.

Yu Shui also guessed that her brother might not be able to escape so easily, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

After their father He Daqing ran away with the White Widow, the brother and sister depended on each other. Now is not the time when the plot begins, and Sha Zhu has not been sucked dry by the Jia family. The relationship between the two siblings is still very good during this period.

Sha Zhu has raised his sister for ten years, so needless to say, they have a deep affection for each other. But although He Yushui is worried about this little girl, she doesn't know what to do.

Sha Zhu had no time to care about the rain. His mind was working rapidly at this moment. In the end, he felt that the only person who could save him was the old lady.

"Yushui, go back and see the old lady first and see if she has any solution."

"it is good."

Now Yu Shui is at a loss and does whatever her brother says.

Watching the rain go away, Sha Zhu slowly sat down with his back against the iron fence. He no longer had the desire to eat the half-eaten steamed bun and stared blankly at the wall opposite.

Chen Xu walked in the city of Sijiu in the early morning. People coming and going were all workers going to work, and it was quite lively.

The Sijiu City today is not the Sijiu City of half a century later. There is no blowing sandstorm and no smog, but there are no tall buildings or busy traffic, and the air is fresh. Although it cannot catch up with my hometown, it is not comparable to later generations.

It is already mid-March, and although it is still a bit chilly, winter is finally over.

Chen Xu no longer plans to waste time in the old city. Instead, he might as well go to the countryside to have a look. The most important thing for him at this moment is to get a regular job, and the rest can come later.

I pushed my bicycle out and met the director who had just arrived at work.

"Hello, director."

"Okay, Xiao Chen, are you planning to go back to the countryside?"

"Well, I plan to go check on the situation, but Director, I have almost used up all the bills for this month."

"This is a good thing. Come with me and get more tickets. The more capable you are, the more work you will get."

"Okay, thank you, Director."

Director Chen felt that he had a good vision. Many people applied for the position of purchasing clerk, but he only accepted Chen Xu. If not a unique vision, then what is it? Being able to find a piece of gold in the crowd is a skill.

As for bills and stuff, that’s not a problem. As long as you can get the supplies, everything will be fine.

It is already very good for a buyer to purchase materials worth 100 yuan in bills a month. For someone like Chen Xu, he can spend all the bills in one trip and may not even have time to supply them, so how could he not give bills?

"Do you have any money left?"

"Well, it's almost gone once I pay the money I owe last time."

"Then bring three hundred."

"OK..."

Chen Xu spent 40 yuan in Linjia Village, but Director Chen charged him one yuan per pound for wild boar meat and fifty cents for sparrows. Forty-four pounds of pork plus forty pounds of sparrows came to sixty-four yuan, and Chen Xu made twenty-four yuan.

Chen Xu is making money from both ends, and he feels that his decision to be a buyer was indeed the right one. Of course, he has no choice. Apart from being a buyer, it would be difficult for him to be successfully employed for other positions...

"By the way, has Xu Damao released any results?"

Chen Xu nodded. Now it all depends on what the Xu family wants. It has nothing to do with him, Chen Xu. He thinks the police will not look for him again. This is also the reason why he wants to return to the countryside.

"Not very well. You'll have to stay in the hospital for a while at least."

"Is that so? Okay then. Be careful on the road."

"Okay, goodbye, Director."

After getting his service pistol from the security department again, Chen Xu pushed his cart out of the steel mill.

Siheyuan.

The deaf old lady in the backyard kept tapping the ground with her cane.

"This pillar is really...sigh."

The deaf old lady is not doing much to deal with Sha Zhu's case now. Yi Zhonghai went to the police station to ask about it yesterday, and it was exactly the same as what Chen Xu said. In addition to paying the medical expenses and compensation, Sha Zhu still needs to bear criminal responsibility.

There is no such thing as a letter of understanding these days. It was not until the 1990s that China learned from the West and implemented the system of understanding.

In the 1960s, if you broke the law, you would be arrested and sentenced, and the judicial system would not care whether you settled the matter privately or not, unless the matter was not brought to the police in the first place.

Once the police intervene, the nature of the situation changes and the difficulty of rescuing people increases dramatically.

The middle-aged woman next to her asked carefully.

"Old lady, what do you think?"

The deaf old lady sighed.

"We still have to give it a try. We can't just ignore Shazhu like this."

Thinking about her limited network of contacts, she felt a bit of a headache as she couldn't guarantee any outcome.

"Come out with me."

The deaf old lady finally decided to give it a try, just in case it worked.

As soon as I stood up, I encountered rain rushing towards the backyard.

"Madam, my brother..."

After listening to Yu Shui's story about Sha Zhu, the deaf old lady was speechless. This Zhu was really a jerk. He thought of asking her for help now, but why didn't he think about the consequences when he took action?

Now the deaf old lady started to complain about Sha Zhu. She couldn't believe that the way Sha Zhu could be so rampant in the courtyard was just the result of her and Yi Zhonghai's deliberate favoritism.

"I see."

After saying this calmly, the deaf old lady ignored the rain and walked out of the courtyard with the old lady.

She still has some feelings for Sha Zhu, after all, he is her godson. But she doesn't feel that much towards Yu Shui, and even feels that this girl is a burden to Sha Zhu.

this will.

Chen Xu has left Sijiu City and headed towards the countryside.

Even after only a few days of rest, Chen Xu felt a big difference. The last time he came back from riding his bike, he almost lost his life. This time he felt a lot more relaxed. Obviously, with the proper nutritional supplements, his body was recovering quickly.

The only regret this time was that he didn’t buy any small fish, which was almost becoming a grudge for him.

I can find it when I don't want to buy it, but it's gone when I want to buy it. Chen Xu doesn't know how to describe it.

There were still many refugees walking towards Sijiu City on the road. He even saw police officers and doctors treating people who had fallen on the road. He didn't know whether they had passed out or had fainted from hunger.

Coming from the 21st century, he had never seen such a tragedy before. Human life was worthless and bones were left on the roadside. He was mentally strong enough that he was not frightened to death, but people coming and going were used to it. He even saw an old man shaking a person who fell on the roadside, shaking his head and sighing.

"It's too late to save him... Alas."

Chen Xu's mood was complicated. Is this the darkness before dawn?

However, wasn't this period of darkness too long? Chen Xu, who knew what China would be like in the next few decades, inexplicably found it difficult to accept. Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.
