Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Lin Dong looked at Sha Zhu and found that Sha Zhu was looking at him with his lips pursed. His serious expression did not seem like he was joking.

He quickly declined: "Brother Zhuzi, let's talk about this later. I can't promise you now."

I don't know what this idiot is thinking. As the saying goes, cutting off a person's financial resources is like killing his parents. Logically, he should know this, so how can he have the nerve to make such a request?

Seeing that Lin Donglai didn't agree, Sha Zhu changed his approach: "Donlai, how about I tell you another way, see if this works."

"Next time you buy fish or something, can you please send it to the factory earlier? Don't send it right before get off work like you did today, okay?"

Hearing what he said, Lin Dong understood. It turned out that Sha Zhu had an issue with delivering the fish to the factory at this time today, and was finding ways to complain.

He smiled at Sha Zhu and said, "Brother Zhu, let's talk about the future later. I will try my best to get better sooner, don't worry." This request was not too much, but he did not make it final.

As the saying goes, leave a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future; it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. These words are applicable in any era.

In this special period, people are easily bribed, sometimes just a matter of a simple thing. People are also particularly easy to hold grudges, and may even hold a grudge for a lifetime after a disagreement.

After Lin Donglai replied to Sha Zhu, he didn't say anything else. The three of them continued to walk deeper into the alley and soon arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

Lin Donglai was the first to step into the courtyard. At that time, Yan Bugui was fiddling with flowers and plants in front of the door. He heard the noise and came over. He saw Lin Donglai holding a fishing rod, and then he looked again and found that the bucket was empty.

He immediately became happy and said with a smile: "Dongli, let's go fishing. It seems that your luck is not very good today. You didn't catch any fish."

This man who took advantage of others' misfortune was really annoying. Lin Donglai didn't want to indulge him, so he said directly, "Uncle, I caught a lot of fish today."

"But they were all directly delivered to our factory as supplies. As for how much there are, you can find out just by asking Brother Zhuzi." After saying that, he walked towards home.

Yan Jiecheng was the second one to step into the yard. When Yan Bugui saw him holding his fishing rod, stool and bucket, he knew that he had also gone fishing, so he hurried forward and took the bucket to watch.

After seeing the palm-sized crucian carp, he finally smiled: "This crucian carp is not bad. My dear, come and have a look. My eldest brother caught a fish today. We will have fish to eat tonight."

When the third aunt heard the call, she walked out of the house, shaking the water off her hands, took the fish out of the bucket, and looked at Yan Jiecheng with satisfaction.

"Our eldest son has made great progress. He was able to catch such a big fish and bring it home to eat. It's great."

Yan Jiecheng hadn't received any praise for a long time. He smoothed his hair awkwardly and smiled embarrassedly.

The appearance of Sha Zhu quickly shattered the picture of this loving family. When he entered the courtyard and heard the old couple praising Yan Jiecheng, he immediately shouted in a loud voice:

"Hey! Uncle and aunt, isn't this just a small fish the size of a palm? What's there to be happy about? Look at Ren Donglai, he caught so many fish without showing off."

When Yan Bugui heard this, the smile on his face froze: "Silly Zhu, you are talking nonsense. There is not even a fish scale in Donglai's bucket, let alone fish."

The meaning couldn't be more obvious. Lin Donglai said he caught a lot of fish but he didn't see them, so he couldn't believe it. But the fish caught by his boss could be seen and touched, so he couldn't help but believe it.

"Uncle, you are a teacher, but you always swear. This is not allowed."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that Donglai caught dozens of kilograms of fish today and sold them for more than 40 yuan. Look, this is much better than your boss, right?"

"So, you can't be happy now, Third Uncle? You deserve it!"

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, without waiting for Yan Bugui and his wife to react, he picked up his things and walked towards the Intermediate Court. He lost the five-dollar bonus today, so he needed to go home and lie down to calm his depressed mood.

After a while, the third aunt asked, "Jie Cheng, is what Sha Zhu said true? Did the kid from the old Lin family really catch so many fish and sell them to the steel mill?"

Yan Bugui also adjusted the legs of his glasses and looked at his eldest son with anxiety in his eyes.

The smile on Yan Jiecheng's face had already disappeared when Sha Zhu opened his mouth. He looked at Yan Bugui and his wife, lowered his head, and whispered, "It's true."

There is no harm without comparison. After sighing for a long time, Yan Bugui shook his head and continued to water the flowers.

Although the third aunt was a little disappointed, she was a considerate mother after all and could understand his feelings. After taking the fishing rod and bucket from him, she told him to wash his hands first.

Yan Jiecheng went home obediently, and then the third aunt walked up to Yan Bugui and whispered, "Old Yan, how come Lin Donglai always catches so many fish? It was like this last time, and it's the same today."

"That's right. Our eldest brother went fishing with others. They caught dozens of kilograms of fish, but he caught a small fish the size of a palm. I felt so embarrassed for him."

When Yan Bugui heard his wife's question, he couldn't hold back and blurted out what was in his heart.

When the third aunt heard this, she quickly defended her son: "Old Yan, I don't like what you said. You often go fishing, and you catch small fish. I think the fish you catch are not big enough."

When Yan Bugui heard his wife's words, he was immediately embarrassed and quickly laughed, "I see, your eldest son is the best, okay?"

No one knows whether others heard the conversation between the old couple, but Yan Jiecheng heard it all while he was washing his hands near the door. He was very sad to be compared and criticized, but he was also somewhat relieved.

I secretly thought that it was a very wise move to sell the three big fish today and put the money in my own pocket.

Sha Zhu had just returned to the house and lay down on the bed when Qin Huairu came back to the yard after work. After saying hello to Yan Bugui, she walked straight to the central courtyard. Before she returned home, she saw Sha Zhu's door was open.

She walked in without thinking, and at first sight she saw Shazhu lying on the bed in a spread-eagle position without even taking off his shoes. She couldn't help but frown.

Then she saw the lunch box on the table, walked over and weighed it. It was quite heavy, and then a smile appeared on her face: "Zhu Zi, what delicious food did you bring back today? Open it and take a look."

Silly Zhu didn't say anything. Qin Huairu opened the lunch box and took a look at the shredded potatoes and Chinese cabbage left over from the fishing. She immediately asked with some disdain, "Zhuzi, this is all you have today. Why isn't there even any minced meat?"

Qin Huairu had been hoping that there would be some fish or something in Sha Zhu's lunch box to satisfy her child's craving, but when she saw that there were only some leftovers from lunch, she was naturally unhappy.

Sha Zhu was struggling with himself over the five-dollar bonus, and was unhappy when he heard her words: "It's good enough to have something to eat, eat it if you want, or get out if you don't want to."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Huairu froze in place...
