Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

Compound.

Jia Dongxu was pinned to the ground and beaten by Shazhu, Qin Peiru was sobbing with her big belly, and Jia Zhang was sitting on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying.

"What's going on?" Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and scattered it around.

"It's not... Shazhu said Jia Dongxu threw firecrackers at his house." Yan Bugui pouted.

"Throwing firecrackers?" Lin Shaowen frowned, "That's not right, Jia Dongxu is not sleeping, why would he throw firecrackers at his house?"

"What are you sleeping for?" Yan Bugui said unhappily, "When Shazhu came out, Jia Dongxu was still playing with firecrackers."

"Don't hit me, it's really not me." Jia Dongxu wailed.

"Fuck you, it's not you? I caught him red-handed."

Shazhu punched Jia Dongxu again.

"I picked them up, there were two firecrackers at the door when I came out."

Jia Dongxu was about to cry.

"Lin Shaowen, you came just in time, come and analyze it." Yi Zhonghai said loudly.

Swish!

Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Shaowen.

Only Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng curled their lips. What do you mean by just in time? Didn't you ask them to go and call?

"No, I haven't figured it out yet." Lin Shaowen frowned and said, "Jia Dongxu, why did you throw firecrackers at someone's house?"

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me." Jia Dongxu struggled frantically.

"Okay." Lin Shaowen shook his head and looked at Sha Zhu again, "How do you judge that he threw firecrackers at your house? Just based on the two in his hand... that's not appropriate."

"He suspected that I broke the glass of his house, so he took revenge on me." Sha Zhu said confidently.

"Why did he suspect it was you?" Lin Shaowen asked curiously.

"Why else? Isn't it just that Sha Zhu looked at Qin Peiru a few more times?" Xu Damao continued.

"Hiss!"

Lin Shaowen took two steps back in panic.

Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu looked at Xu Damao as if they were going to eat him.

"Do you think this happened?" Xu Damao said confidently.

"No."

Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu denied it at the same time.

"You still say no... I've seen it several times." Xu Damao said disdainfully.

"No, Old Xu... Are you looking at Sha Zhu or Qin Peiru?" Lin Shaowen said faintly.

"Old Lin, what you said... Ouch."

Before Xu Damao finished speaking, Jia Dongxu, who had gotten up, grabbed his hair and pressed him to the ground. Sha Zhu went up and punched and kicked him.

"Stop, stop."

Xu Damao kept rolling on the ground.

Zhang Wan was not there, but no one helped him.

"Lin Shaowen, go and persuade him." Yi Zhonghai said anxiously.

"Why don't you persuade him?" Lin Shaowen said with a squint.

"I... I'm so old, how can I persuade him?" Yi Zhonghai said helplessly.

"That's true. You are such a bad old man."

Lin Shaowen's words made Yi Zhonghai's face turn pale.

"Old Lin, help me, Old Lin..."

Xu Damao began to ask for help.

"Brothers, you want to kill Xu Damao today, right?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Bah."

Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu spit on Xu Damao's face at the same time.

"What do you say about your own business?" Lin Shaowen glanced at Jia Zhang, who was sitting on the ground without saying a word, and said to Jia Dongxu, "Do you need Sha Zhu to compensate you for the glass..."

"Compensate, I must compensate."

Hearing the compensation, Jia Zhang stood up immediately.

"Lin Shaowen, don't talk nonsense, I didn't break his glass." Sha Zhu immediately said.

"The matter of Qin Peiru... Look at my mouth." Lin Shaowen slapped himself lightly.

Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu, whose anger had originally dissipated, became angry again and grabbed Xu Damao and beat him up.

"Old Lin, you are not righteous, ouch..." Xu Damao yelled on the ground.

"The glass thing..."

Lin Shaowen was halfway through his words when Xu Damao started yelling.

"I'll pay, isn't it okay if I pay?"

"That's better."

Jia Dongxu let go of Xu Damao after hearing this.

Sha Zhu saw this and thought it was boring to beat Xu Damao, so he stopped.

In the end, the matter was settled at the cost of Xu Damao paying one dollar.

"Okay, go back to sleep, don't make trouble." Yi Zhonghai shouted with a stern face.

The others saw that there was no more fun to watch, so they all went home.

"Shao Wen, you are so bad..." Qin Huairu whispered.

"Bad? It's not over yet."

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Shaowen's mouth.

"What else?"

Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu were both stunned.

As expected, scholars are evil-hearted.

Half an hour later.

Boom!

There was a loud noise.

Xu Damao ran out with his pants in his hand, and without saying a word, he picked up a stone and threw it at Jia Dongxu's house.

"Xu Damao, are you looking for death?" Jia Dongxu roared.

"What's the fuss again?"

Old people like Yi Zhonghai are almost suffering from neurasthenia.

West Wing Courtyard.

"Uncle, come out quickly, Jia Dongxu is going to be beaten to death by Sha Zhu and Xu Damao."

Puff!

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru, who were hiding behind the door, were almost laughing to death.

Courtyard.

"What are you doing again?" Lin Shaowen said helplessly.

"Jia Dongxu, you can't deny it this time, right?" Xu Damao said viciously, "Just now you said it wasn't you who threw the firecrackers at Sha Zhu's house, then what do we say now? Did you just pick it up again?"

"I I..."

Jia Dongxu's mouth was bloody, and he said "I" twice without saying anything.

He just went out and really picked up two more firecrackers, but he didn't believe it himself.

"Give me back the money."

Xu Damao stretched out his hand to Jia Dongxu.

"Xu Damao, why do you want to return the compensation money?" Jia Zhang was instantly furious.

"Okay, you won't give it to me, right?"

Xu Damao walked out of the compound.

"Xu Damao, where are you going?" Yi Zhonghai scolded.

"I'll go to the Joint Defense Office to judge the matter. He threw firecrackers at someone's house in the middle of the night, and he still thinks he's right..." Xu Damao said loudly.

"I'll pay, I'll pay."

Jia Dongxu resisted the urge to vomit blood, looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Mom, give the money to Xu Damao."

"I won't..." Jia Zhang said stiffly.

"Mom, if I'm locked up, you won't have a penny of your pension money." Jia Dongxu said harshly.

He is really poor now.

He just lost all his salary to the clinic. He has to lose it. It's rotten to the root.

"Hmph."

After hearing about "pension money", Jia Zhang finally gave in. She reluctantly took out a dollar and threw it on the ground, then turned back to the house.

Qin Peiru burst into tears when she saw this. How could she live like this?

"Bah."

Xu Damao spit at Jia Dongxu and walked away.

He didn't care about this little money at all, but as a man, he would rather fight for his dignity than for his bread.

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru were almost suffocating when they saw Jia Dongxu, who was about to cry but had no tears.

They suddenly felt that everyone's hatred for Lin Shaowen seemed to have some reason. This scholar started to fight... Tsk tsk tsk, killing people without blood.

Early morning.

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru made breakfast and went to work. Lin Shaowen lay under the awning, drinking cold beer and blowing the fan. How could it be described in one word?

No matter how much the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Health cherished him, they really couldn't cover up what had happened, so they reluctantly approved his resignation.

But he just resigned from his position. His unit was still in the steel mill, and his position was the factory doctor... As for whether his salary would be paid as usual, he was not sure.
