Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

"Shazhu, I appreciate your kindness, but don't forget that you promised the Jia family that you would take care of our family." Her voice was soft but firm, reminding Shazhu of the responsibilities on his shoulders.

"Don't worry, Qin Huairu, as long as I'm here, no one can bully you!" Sha Zhu patted his chest and guaranteed, with an unquestionable light flashing in his eyes.

However, Qin Huairu frowned slightly, and her eyes penetrated the crowd, as if she could see into people's hearts.

"Then why didn't you stop Fade Chen from bullying the Jia family? Every time, you just complained afterwards."

When Sha Zhu heard this, his face changed slightly, but then he regained his composure.

"Qin Huairu, you don't understand. I am planning a situation that will make it impossible for Chen Fei to recover." His words revealed an unfathomable meaning.

At this moment, Chen Fei's bicycle happened to pass by. He deliberately slowed down and said jokingly, "Hey, isn't this Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu? What are you doing here in broad daylight? How is Grandma Bang Geng these days?"

This one sentence, like a spark splashing into dry wood, instantly ignited the anger in Sha Zhu's heart.

He took a sudden step forward, clenching his fists as if he was going to swing at Fade Chen in the next second.

"Fade Chen, just wait for me. One day, I will make you regret what you did today!"

But Chen Fei just chuckled and left quickly, leaving behind a string of arrogant laughter echoing in the air.

Sha Zhu looked at Fade Chen's receding back, his heart filled with annoyance and unwillingness. He slammed his fist against the wall, and he gasped in pain.

"Qin Huairu, don't worry. When I am transferred to the factory and have real power, the first person I will do this to is Chen Fei. Let him know that not everyone can bully him!" Sha Zhu said gritting his teeth, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu. She knew Sha Zhu's character very well and believed in his abilities. But this time, what she wanted was not only a lesson from Chen Fei, but also for Chen Fei to completely leave their lives and never be a threat again.

"Silly Zhu, what I want is for Chen Fei to be fired and completely disappear from our world."

When Sha Zhu heard this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, Qin Huairu, just wait and see, I, Shazhu, will keep my word!"

As the conversation between the two ended, the street returned to its former bustle.

Today was the day he learned that he would be transferred to a new position. It should have been a new beginning, but because of Sha Zhu's provocative words, this expectation was overshadowed.

"Hmph, wait until you're transferred, and then I'll show you how I embarrass you!" The smug face of Sha Zhu could not be erased from Chen Fei's mind.

A sneer appeared on his lips as he secretly planned how to teach this arrogant neighbor an unforgettable lesson.

After returning home, Fade Chen did not rest immediately, but went straight to the small warehouse full of sundries.

In the warehouse, a yellowed talisman paper lay quietly in the corner. It was the "Beast Curse Talisman" that he accidentally found in an ancient book passed down from his ancestors.

Although the name sounds absurd, Chen Fei inexplicably felt a sense of confidence in his heart, thinking that this would be the key to counterattacking Sha Zhu.

"Since you insist on making trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless." Fade Chen muttered to himself and carefully put away the talisman paper.

At the same time, in Sha Zhu's house, the lights were on, and he and Qin Huairu were toasting to celebrate, as if they had foreseen the victory after punishing Chen Fei.

"Do you think Chen Fei will really fall this time?" Sha Zhu's face was full of pride, with a calculating gleam in his eyes.

Qin Huairu took a sip of wine with a complicated look in her eyes.

She once fantasized that Chen Fei could be like Sha Zhu, obeying her in everything and becoming her "suck-up".

But every time Chen Fei resisted, she felt angry and unwilling.

"This time, I won't give him any more chances." Qin Huairu swore in her heart, determined to draw a clear line between herself and Chen Fei and look for opportunities to retaliate.

On the other side, Fade Chen sat at the desk, carefully planning how to use the talisman paper.

A piece of talisman paper alone is far from enough, it also requires sophisticated planning and timing.

So he began to save every penny. The dozens of yuan that he had originally intended to use for his new life after the transfer now became important funds for his counterattack plan.

In the dead of night, Fade Chen lay on his bed, simulating the scene of his confrontation with Sha Zhu in his mind.

Imagining how he could skillfully use the talisman paper to make Sha Zhu look ridiculous in front of everyone, the pleasure he felt made the corners of his mouth curl up.

Although Sha Zhu appears to be confident on the surface, he actually feels a little uneasy deep down inside.

He was worried that Chen Fei would do something extreme, especially when he remembered the last time Chen Fei splashed mud all over himself while riding a bike, which made him unable to sleep or eat.

The two forces are quietly confronting each other in the dormitory area of ​​the steel rolling mill where undercurrents are surging. A battle between dignity and revenge is about to begin.

The tense relationship between Fade Chen and Sha Zhu is like a taut string that could break at any time and release astonishing energy.

Chen Fei sat on a small bench in front of his house, tightly holding a "Beast Curse Talisman" taken from the system warehouse.

Under the moonlight, the talisman glowed with a faint blue light, as if it contained unspeakable power.

His eyes passed through the night and fell on the tightly closed door of Jia Zhang's room not far away, then slowly turned to the small room of Sha Zhu where noisy sounds were often heard.

"Now is not the time." Fade Chen thought to himself, with a meaningful smile on his face.

The talisman given by the system was originally a powerful weapon for him to fight back against those who oppressed him, but Chen Fei knew very well that he could not completely change the status quo by just a momentary impulse.

What he needed was a more precise and powerful timing.

The next morning, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and onto the bluestone road of the courtyard.

Chen Fei had already made up his mind and decided to deal with another matter first - asking Yan Bugui for the mental damages he deserved.

Recently, Yan Bugui was injured due to the conflict between Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng. This may be a good opportunity for him.

Pushing open the slightly heavy wooden door of the Yan family, a gust of air mixed with the smell of medicinal wine hit me in the face.

Yan Bugui was sitting on a chair in the main room with a pot of wine in front of him. His face was pale but with a bit of stubbornness.

When he saw Chen Fei, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to his usual indifference.

"Hey, Xiaofei, how come you have time to come to my place?" There was a hint of subtle fatigue in Yan Bugui's voice.

Chen Fei did not answer directly, but walked up to him and glanced sharply at the unhealed scars on Yan Bugui's body.

"Master Yan, I heard that you have been unwell recently, so I came to see you. But, isn't it time to settle the account between us?"

Yan Bugui's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he immediately forced himself to remain calm and said with a smile: "Xiao Fei, I don't understand what you are saying. What is the score between us?"

"Mr. Yan, you won't forget about the mental damage compensation, right?" Chen Fei said in a firm tone, without any concessions.

Yan Bugui was stunned, obviously not expecting Chen Fei to be so direct.

He sighed, put down his glass, and looked at Fade Chen with complicated eyes. "Xiao Fei, you also know the current situation of my family. My daughter-in-law ran away, and the medical expenses are a huge expense..."

"Master Yan, I understand your difficulties, but I also have my own principles." Fade Chen interrupted him, his tone revealing an unquestionable power, "If you don't give it to me, I have my own way."

After some negotiations, Yan Bugui finally compromised, took out a few crumpled banknotes from the cabinet and handed them to Chen Fei.

The moment he took the money, Fade Chen felt mixed emotions, including the joy of victory and sympathy for the Yan family's current situation.

But he knew that he could not be soft-hearted. Only by becoming stronger could he protect himself and those around him.
