Siheyuan: Since 51

"Stop making trouble and come here quickly."

Big Fatty raised his bound hands and said, "Untie them first."

A few minutes later, they were freed.

Dapang moved his wrists which had turned red from being tied up, and rubbed his sore cheeks.

"Xu Damao is really amazing!"

Xiao Pang patted the dust off his body and said, "Brother, did you hear that? There was real crying."

Dapang listened carefully and indeed heard sobbing sounds coming intermittently.

The breeze blows, the afterglow falls, and the shadows of the trees are mottled and swaying.

It was midsummer and Dapang only felt a chill coming over him.

"Second brother, hurry home, this shabby place..."

The two left in a hurry.

Lin Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Lin Zhihao often came to play in the broken courtyard, he was afraid of potential danger and decided to take a look quietly.

He climbed over the wall and tiptoed to the backyard.

The houses were dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. The doors and windows of several houses were broken, and broken bricks and tiles were scattered all over the ground.

After walking around for a long time, I finally came to the last ear room.

In the corner, a middle-aged man was sobbing while holding a child.

Looking closely, they were both covered in dust and their clothes were dirty and torn.

Lin Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and in an instant, he thought of the human traffickers.

"Let go of that kid!"

The middle-aged man was startled, calmed himself down, coughed a few times, and looked up, "Comrade, I'm not a bad person."

"Whether he is a bad guy or not, it's not up to you to decide, and it doesn't matter what I say." Lin Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Give me the child, and follow me to the street office."

As he spoke, Lin Zhiyuan was about to step forward and subdue him.

The middle-aged man's face darkened. "I can't give you the child. I can go to the street office with you."

"Row!"

Along the way, perhaps because Lin Zhiyuan was following behind him, the middle-aged man was very honest and did not run away or make a fuss.

When they arrived at the street office, Lin Zhiyuan recounted the entire incident in detail and left.

Siheyuan.

Passing through the hanging flower gate, Xu Damao sat on a stool and spoke vividly and fluently.

"It happened so fast that the enemy boss's limbs were tied up and controlled by four people. It was my turn to take action. I punched him with my left fist and slapped him with my right palm until he cried for his parents..."

After listening to these two sentences, Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Hey, Damao, are you fighting again?"

Xu Damao was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed dryly twice.

"Brother Zhiyuan, look at what you said. We are the Five Bullies of Luoguxiang. We must punish evil and promote good. Fighting is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"The Five Hegemons of Luoguxiang? When your father comes back, you must show your true strength. There will definitely be good things waiting for you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the neighbors in the front yard who were listening to the silence burst into laughter.

Lin Zhiyuan shrugged and glared at Lin Zhihao.

Lin Zhihao rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, don't worry. This is the storybook. It's a story made up by the five of us."

"Do you think I believe it?"

Lin Zhiyuan chuckled and went straight home.

Qin Huairu has been much better recently. She is so virtuous that she has no time to rest.

There are many people in the family, so we steamed two pots of buns.

Lin Zhiyuan stepped forward and waved his hand naturally, "You go in, I'll do it."

We fried a pot of loofah and paired it with steamed buns, and the group of people ate it with gusto.

"Brother Zhiyuan, Xiaowu and I feel bad for eating and drinking your food every day. The food at home is more exquisite. Where did you buy it? Let's go get some tomorrow."

After Wang Aijun finished speaking, Qin Huaiwu also hurriedly echoed, "Yes, brother-in-law, it's embarrassing to always take advantage of you."

Lin Zhiyuan curved his lips and scolded with a smile: "Free food and free drinks? You two are dreaming! After you get your salary, pay for Huairu's food."

After that, he added: "Probably just one or two months."

Qin Huaiwu didn't understand and joked, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean? In a month or two, Aijun and I will have to leave the house?"

"Yes, you can go there yourself when the time comes."

Lin Zhiyuan laughed and said, "There is good news, but it has not been finalized yet. Stay still and wait and see."

That night.

Nestled in Lin Zhiyuan's arms, Qin Huairu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhiyuan, what do you mean by one or two months?"

His hands kept making small movements, and Lin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

"They are lucky to have been lucky. The factory will provide them with housing, and at most they will deduct a little monthly rent from their wages."

Qin Huairu smiled and said happily, "Yeah, this is really a good thing. Now that we have a house, we can slowly buy some furniture. When they are old enough, we can talk about wives."

"Hahaha, yes, when the time comes, as the elder sister and the eldest sister-in-law, you have to help them look for it."

"That's natural."

Qin Huairu turned sideways to face Lin Zhiyuan and continued, "I am now very familiar with the aunties around here. In a few years, I will know the character of the girls around here when they reach the age of adulthood!"

Silent all night.

The next day, just as Lin Zhiyuan finished arranging his work, Zhou Liping came.

As soon as he entered the door, he had a sullen face.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiyuan joked, "Hey, Liping, what happened to you? Were you boiled?"

"Cooked? What a rubbish!" Zhou Liping muttered, depressed: "My cooked duck flew away!"

Lin Zhiyuan threw a cigarette to him and said, "What do you mean? Explain it clearly."

"It's Tang Wenfang. I asked her last night, but she didn't agree."

Joking aside, Lin Zhiyuan still cared about Zhou Liping. He suppressed his smile and said, "Tell me in detail."

"Last night, we went to the movies and sent her home afterward. I wanted to confirm our relationship, but she hesitated and didn't say a word. At the very end, she asked my old man to go and visit her grandfather. What do you think, if this isn't a polite refusal?"

After asking some more details, Lin Zhiyuan stared at Zhou Liping in disbelief.

After a long while, Zhou Liping felt a little scared. "What's that look in your eyes?"

Lin Zhiyuan was speechless and said, "Are you stupid? What else do you want the girl to say? Go back and tell your father to arrange a marriage proposal."

"What?" Zhou Liping's eyes widened. "She asked my old man to look for her grandfather. Isn't it because she can't save face and let the elders say it's inappropriate?"

"Get lost, you are so stupid."

Lin Zhiyuan said angrily: "A girl should be more reserved, you are a rough man, what do you know? Listen to me and let your father come to propose marriage."

After sending Zhou Liping away, Lin Zhiyuan left the steel rolling mill, found a deserted place, took out his large flatbed cart, and went straight to Xuji Cloth Shop.

The cloth shop was closed, and a pile of cloth was neatly placed in the middle.

Lin Zhiyuan threw the flatbed cart at the door and turned in.

"Brother Lin, you're here." Xu Yongxiang stood up with a smile, "Sit here and have a glass of water."

"Brother Xu, forget it. I'm short on time."

Lin Zhiyuan said, throwing a cloth bag of large yellow croaker on the table, "You test it."

"Well, how can I not trust you?"

Having said that, Xu Yongxiang still checked them one by one.

Lin Zhiyuan just smiled and said nothing.

After finishing two cups of tea, Xu Yongxiang put away the cloth bag and asked, "How did you get here?"

"Big flatbed."

"Okay, then hurry up and move. After you deliver it, if you have time, come again. There will be good news."
