Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

"It's you, on the other hand. Aren't you a buyer for the steel mill? Why are you here fishing?"

"You don't understand. This is called a combination of work and rest. I just came back from the countryside, so I naturally need to have a good rest. Only when I have adjusted my state of mind can I better serve the people."

The old man had a dark face and said, "You are more ridiculous than me."

"How's the country?"

Chen Xu was silent for a moment.

"What else can we do, just like that."

The old man did not ask Chen Xu any more questions. In fact, he also knew the current situation.

Yeah, what else can I do?

Chen Xu raised his hand, and a small white strip that looked only half the length of a chopstick was pulled up.

"It's OK. We have some gains, but it's not considered empty air."

The old man looked at Chen Xu strangely, feeling that everything this guy said was a little hard to understand.

"What Air Force?"

"Now that I've caught a fish, I won't be going back empty-handed."

"Oh, so that's what you mean. It's quite appropriate."

The old man kept it in mind, planning to use it to make fun of some of his old comrades in the future.

Chen Xu obviously didn't know that there was a big guy sitting next to him, so he spoke more casually. After all, the big guy came to sell fishing rods for no reason...

But of course I won’t say things that I shouldn’t say. At least I will be cautious and it doesn’t matter if it’s a little joke that doesn’t really matter.

After sitting there for an entire afternoon, Chen Xu looked at the only little white strip and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was really just killing time...

"Go back and get a bowl of soup. It's enough for one person."

The old man joked that he was very disdainful of Chen Xu's fishing skills. He had watched for an entire afternoon, and as a result, this guy only caught a small whitebait at the beginning, and wasted several subsequent opportunities. Even a crucian carp the size of a palm got off the hook when it was pulled out of the water.

"By the way, old man, where did the black market move to after it closed last time? I can't find it."

The old man was speechless, feeling that this kid was madly testing the edge of death, do you really think that I am going to do business...

I just don't know, after I caught this kid that day, should I just let him go after giving him a lesson just because I like him.

"It's the sixth alley towards the woods from the black market last time."

"Thanks."

Chen Xu was overjoyed. The last time he went to another black market, the scale was far less than that. Naturally, he was still missing the alley he visited for the first time.

Looking at Chen Xu's back holding a fishing rod and a small fish, the old man was a little amused.

You are the first one who comes to me, the director, to ask about the black market.

Not long after Chen Xu left, two guys who had been fishing for a long time but didn't catch any fish came over from a distance.

"Commander, we should go back. You've been out for most of the day."

"I know, you just keep pushing me. You don't understand. I, an old man, feel uncomfortable staying in that office. Also, you two are not as good at fishing as that boy. It's really shameful..."

"Forehead..."

The two guards were in tears, and you should give us the bait.

It's just an empty hook. We are not Jiang Ziya. We are talking about cultivating patience. Now we blame ourselves for not catching any fish...

Chen Xu returned to the courtyard empty-handed and had no idea that he had walked directly into the trap.

He had just entered the courtyard and was slowing down his pace while listening to other people's gossip.

Sha Zhu was sentenced to five months of hard labor.

Chen Xu nodded slightly, which was similar to what he guessed. According to his idea, it should be three months to half a year. After all, fighting is not a big deal these days. At most, it would be just a case of excessive force.

The most important thing is that Xu Damao is alive and well now, nothing happened to him, and no one is holding Sha Zhu responsible for causing his infertility.

It seems that I can have some peace and quiet in the yard for a while.

There were few people in the central courtyard, and the door of the Yi family was closed. I didn't know whether the old man was afraid to come out and see people or he simply turned a blind eye and hid himself.

Chen Xu felt that the matter might not be over yet. Yi Zhonghai did such a thing. Although it was settled privately, he was morally corrupt after all. It is impossible for the street office to have no reaction at all, right?

Chen Xu thought as he walked towards the backyard.

At the gate of Jia's house, Jia Zhang looked at the closed door of Yi's house with hatred. She glanced at Chen Xu who was passing by with her triangular eyes, then turned her head with disdain and continued to look at Yi's family.

He just found a job to make a living by sheer luck. He will be kicked out of the courtyard sooner or later. Besides, there is no benefit at all and he is not worthy of Jia Zhang's attention.

Chen Xu obviously didn't notice the look in the old woman's eyes, but he noticed the little girl standing at the door staring at him fiercely.

After all, some little girls would rather look at the old hag than at the old hag. Chen Xu doesn't have that hobby, and he is not Yi Zhonghai.

Why does this girl Yu Shui seem to be quite dissatisfied with me? Is it because of Sha Zhu?

Chen Xu was confused. He had long forgotten about the rain at the entrance of the courtyard last time. He didn't expect this girl to hold a grudge like this. Didn't she just glance at him and curl her lips? As for remembering it for so long...

Obviously, what Chen Xu didn't care about was unforgivable in Yu Shui's eyes. This bastard obviously disliked her figure. Although she really didn't have much of a figure to speak of, you couldn't blatantly humiliate her. You were just a complete bastard.

Chen Xu just took a look and went back to the backyard. He didn't care about the rain at all.

This girl will suffer a lot in the future. Thinking of Yu Shui's memory of Sha Zhu becoming as thin as a monkey after his blood was sucked out, Chen Xu felt that this girl's fate was over.

He Daqing couldn't stay in the old city forever. Although many things had changed because of his arrival, it was estimated that they would not change in general. It might even become more difficult. After all, Sha Zhu didn't even have a house now, and no one knew where he would live after he came back from labor reform.

Chen Xu didn't know that Yu Shui was now considered a wealthy woman, and his savings were not even a fraction of hers.

He Daqing is pretty good about rain.

The 8,000 yuan compensation to Xu Damao was almost paid by Yi Zhonghai alone. Yu Shui's living expenses were ten yuan per month, which was almost twelve hundred yuan in ten years. Add to that the 6,500 yuan that Yi Zhonghai himself had to pay, and this old guy was almost wiped out by He Daqing.

After paying out 7,700 yuan in one go, Yi Zhonghai was completely broke. He Daqing had a thousand yuan that he brought back from Baoding, plus the savings of Sha Zhu over the years, the total amount was about 1,700 or 1,800 yuan.

After paying some of the balance of the compensation, I kept the remaining money for my return fare and some change, and the rest was all with Yu Shui.

In terms of the amount of money alone, the little girl is now among the top few in the hospital.

He Daqing repeatedly told Sha Shui not to tell anyone about the money, not even to Sha Zhu, and to keep it safe for himself.

He knew very well what kind of people these guys in the Siheyuan were, but he didn't dare to take the money back to Baoding, as that would basically mean it was all gone. The White Widow was not much better than these guys in the Siheyuan.

He told Yu Shui to give Sha Zhu 500 yuan when he came out, and the rest would be her dowry. Yu Shui was confused, but she knew that her father would not harm her.

So, at this moment, no one else knew that Yu Shui had thousands of dollars on him.
