Siheyuan: Start with a big car

"Dad, I am innocent. I came here to find a wife, but these guys beat me without any reason. Can you help me?"

As soon as Chen Xing saw his father, he started crying.

Father Chen felt distressed when he saw his son in such a miserable state, but he was more angry.

He hurried forward and tried to stop Chen Xing from talking nonsense.
"I'm sorry, leaders, I'm an ignorant child and have caused you trouble."

After saying that, he turned his head sharply and glared at Chen Xing: "Hurry up and apologize to the security officers!"

When Chen Xing heard what his father said, he stiffened his neck and said, "I won't apologize! I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize? They were the ones who were unreasonable and started beating people."

"You're still being stubborn!" Chen's father scolded angrily, "Behave yourself here! Look at what you've done, and you still dare to say you're not wrong? Apologize quickly and don't embarrass yourself here!"

Chen Xing was startled by his father's sudden anger, but he still lowered his head unwillingly and remained silent.
I have to say that Mr. Chen is quite capable. He has done such a good job that the security officers cannot directly embarrass him.

Just then, Section Chief Li also came over.

He told Chen's father everything about Chen Xing harassing Qin Jingru at the factory gate: "Comrade Chen, today your son was at our factory gate, insisting that Qin Jingru was his fiancée and wanted Qin Jingru to go with him. Our security officer stepped forward to dissuade him, but he still refused to cooperate and even wanted to hit her. Tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"

After hearing this, Chen's father was puzzled and said, "This is impossible, Qin Jingru is Chen Xing's fiancée.

Our family even gave Jia Zhang a dowry for this matter. This is absolutely true."

You know, a seemingly steady man like Chen's father would not lie.

When Section Chief Li heard this, he felt that there might be a misunderstanding: "How about this, I'll call Qin Jingru over and we can talk things out in person."

After saying that, he instructed a security officer to invite Qin Jingru.

After a while, Qin Jingru walked into the security department.

Upon seeing this, Chen's father immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, I am Chen Xing's father. I just want to ask, my family gave a betrothal gift to Jia Zhang, and didn't she say that you and my son are already engaged? What's going on?"

Qin Jingru quickly waved her hands and denied it when she heard it: "Master, don't listen to Jia Zhang's nonsense. I don't even know your son, let alone be engaged to him.

I had been working well at the steel mill, and today he suddenly came over and said I was his fiancée. I was completely stunned.”

When Chen's father heard Qin Jingru's firm denial, he was shocked and realized that he might have been deceived by Jia Zhang.

"This Jia Zhang is such a bastard! She actually dared to cheat my family out of the betrothal money and made my son look bad here. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. I'm sorry, girl, for causing you trouble.

Don't worry, I will definitely teach Chen Xing a lesson when I return."

He seemed to be apologizing, but in fact he was helping Chen Xing to expand his responsibilities.

Qin Jingru refused to give him the favor: "Old comrade, I don't know what misunderstanding you have, but Chen Xing has been handed over to the Security Department, so this matter must be handled by the Security Department."

After saying that, Qin Jingru turned around and left.

She had to rush back to the workshop to work and had no time to talk nonsense here.

Father Chen saw that his plan had failed, and he became anxious: "Chief Li, you see, my son was deceived by that old woman Jia Zhang, and he did such a thing in a moment of confusion.

He is not a bad person by nature, please be merciful and let him go this time."

As he said this, he pretended to bow to Section Chief Li.

Section Chief Li was unmoved: "Chen Xing disturbed the order at the factory gate. Even if it is not considered hooliganism, this behavior has seriously affected the normal working order of our factory and must be dealt with seriously.

According to the regulations, you have to pay a fine of 200 yuan and ask Chen Xing to write a letter of apology. This is already a lenient sentence."

Two hundred yuan! When Father Chen heard this number, his eyes widened and he almost jumped up.

This was a huge sum of money at the time.

He waved his hands and said, "Chief Li, this is too much. Our family really can't afford so much money. Please be more flexible..."

Seeing Chen's father's expression, Section Chief Li emphasized his tone, "This is because you are a first-time offender and you were deceived. If you don't cooperate, we can only lock Chen Xing up and punish him according to the Public Security Management Regulations. It won't be as simple as a fine."

When Mr. Chen heard that his son was going to be locked up, he immediately panicked.

He knew in his heart that once his son was locked up, his future would be ruined.

After hesitating for a long time, his shoulders finally slumped: "Okay, Chief Li, I'll pay it. I'll go back and collect the money right away."

After saying that, he glared at Chen Xing fiercely.

Father Chen was extremely anxious. He got on his bicycle and rushed towards home like a gust of wind.

After returning home, Chen's father rushed straight to the cabinet where the money was kept.

Chen's mother, who was busy doing housework, saw her husband in such a panic, with the money box in his hand, and couldn't help but stop what she was doing.

"Dad, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

however

Father Chen was extremely anxious, and his only thought was to raise money to redeem his son. He had no intention of paying any attention to Mother Chen, and walked out without looking back.

As Chen's mother watched her husband leaving, she felt more and more that something was wrong.

She put down the work in her hands and looked anxiously at the door.

After a long while, Chen's father finally came back with the dejected Chen Xing.

Chen's mother rushed over and asked, "What's going on? Where did you two go? How did you end up like this?" Only then did Chen's father tell her everything about how he was deceived by Jia Zhang, how Chen Xing had caused trouble in front of the steel mill, and now he was facing a fine.

After hearing this, Chen's mother was so angry that she started to curse: "This Jia Zhang is such a damned old thing! My family sincerely asked her to do something, but she dared to cheat us out of our money and even caused Xing'er to almost be locked up. I can't swallow this anger, I must settle the score with her!"

Then, she was about to rush out, but was stopped by Chen's father.

"We can't act rashly on this matter. Liu Haizhong is the middleman between us and Jia Zhang. We have to call Liu Haizhong over to find out what's going on."

Even though Chen's mother was making a fuss, she had no idea what to do and could only nod.

At this time, Liu Haizhong was tidying up his apprentices in the workshop. His apprentice Da Zhang actually forgot to pour him tea today.

Liu Haizhong usually likes to put on airs as a master and enjoy being served by his apprentices, but this really pissed him off.

"Da Zhang, what's wrong with you? You even forgot to pour tea for your master? Do you still have me as your master in your eyes?"

Da Zhang lowered his head and muttered softly: "Master, I'm sorry, I was too busy this morning and forgot about it."

Liu Haizhong snorted and said unyieldingly, "Too much to do? Can that be an excuse? I think you are just being lazy. You have to do twice as much work today. Remember this lesson!"

Just when he was scolding enthusiastically, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the workshop and shouted, "Master Liu, someone is looking for you. They said it's urgent." Liu Haizhong frowned and replied impatiently, "I know, I'll be right there."

He glared at Da Zhang and said, "Just stay here and I'll deal with you when I come back."

Then, he strode towards the workshop door.

Looking at Liu Haizhong's back, Da Zhang spat, "Damn Liu Haizhong, you are still my master. I tell you, I am in trouble if I accept you as my master!"

...

Liu Haizhong came to the factory gate and looked up to see Chen's mother standing outside. Her face was gloomy. Liu Haizhong's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling. He was acutely aware that something was wrong.

He took a few quick steps, walked up to her and said hello: "Old sister-in-law, what's up?"

Mother Chen suppressed the rage burning in her heart.

"Old Chen wants to invite you to his home to talk."

If it were usual, Liu Haizhong would have brightened up when hearing this and agreed without hesitation.

After all, when he arrived at the Chen family, he was treated to good wine and delicious food, and he could even drink a few glasses comfortably to satisfy his drinking craving.

But at this moment, looking at Chen's mother's appearance, he began to wonder in his heart, and hesitated for a moment: "Oh, sister-in-law, I still have to go to work. There are a lot of things to do in the factory. I really can't leave. How about another day?"

After hearing what Liu Haizhong said, Chen's mother knew that it would be impossible to trick him into her home.

She no longer forced it, nodded to Liu Haizhong, and turned back home.

After returning home, Chen's mother told Chen's father everything.

After hearing this, Father Chen snorted coldly, with a fierce look on his face: "It seems that Liu Haizhong is also involved in this matter. If he wants to get away with it, forget it."

Finally, it was time to get off work, and Liu Haizhong walked out of the steel mill with his apprentice Da Zhang.

As he walked away, he did not forget to teach Da Zhang a lesson: "Be smart next time, kid. Bring me a pack of cigarettes tomorrow. Remember?"

Da Zhang was very reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only agree helplessly: "I know, Master."

At this moment, Chen's father came rushing over on his bicycle, braked suddenly, and blocked Liu Haizhong's way.

Father Chen got off his bicycle, walked a few steps to Liu Haizhong, and said, "Master Liu, come with me to my house. I have something to discuss with you."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he wanted to refuse: "Brother Chen, it's really unfortunate today. I have something to do at home and I have to go back quickly."

Chen's father didn't fall for it. He sneered and suddenly lifted up his clothes, revealing a dagger hidden inside. The cold light flashed, and Liu Haizhong's face turned pale in an instant.

"Master Liu, I think you should come with me. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."

Father Chen said coldly. Liu Haizhong's legs trembled slightly, and he was very scared.

"Okay... okay, Brother Chen, I'll go with you."

He had just taken two steps when he suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Father Chen: "Brother Chen, I have some work to give to my apprentice. Please see..."

Father Chen frowned and looked at Liu Haizhong and Da Zhang. "Okay, hurry up and stop playing tricks."

Liu Haizhong quickly returned to his apprentice Da Zhang. He secretly glanced at Chen's father, and after making sure that Chen's father couldn't hear them, he lowered his voice and said, "Da Zhang, go to the security department and report the case. Say that someone is trying to harm the master. The master's life depends on you."

Da Zhang pretended to agree: "Okay, Master, I'll go right away."

After Liu Haizhong followed Chen's father and left, Da Zhang did not run towards the security department. Instead, he stomped his feet, turned around, and ran in the opposite direction of the security department.

Just kidding, if Liu Haizhong died, he could find a new master tomorrow.

the other side.

Father Chen had brought Liu Haizhong home. As soon as he entered the house, he slammed the door shut.
Then he glared at Liu Haizhong fiercely and asked loudly, "Liu Haizhong, tell me the truth, why did you team up with Jia Zhang to defraud our family's money?

You must give me an explanation today, otherwise, I will never let you go!"

Liu Haizhong was startled by this sudden questioning, his face full of astonishment: "Chen...Brother Chen, what are you talking about? I...how could I do such a thing? I don't know what's going on at all!"

Father Chen snorted coldly and said loudly: "Stop pretending here!

Jia Zhangshi never acted as a matchmaker for Chen Xing, and she even took the betrothal money from my family and embezzled it. Chen Xing went to see Qin Jingru today, but she didn't recognize him at all, and he was almost caught as a hooligan.

If I hadn't arrived in time, my son would have been ruined!"

Only then did Liu Haizhong realize that all the dirty deeds done by Jia Zhang had been exposed. His heart suddenly skipped a beat and he was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his palms.

But he knew that he couldn't admit it at this time, so he could only continue to pretend that he knew nothing.

"Brother Chen, you must have misunderstood me. I was kind enough to help your Chen family make this marriage happen, but who knew that old woman Jia Zhang was such a jerk that she would do such a thing.

I was kept in the dark too!"

As he spoke, he pretended to pat his thigh, acting as if he was heartbroken.

Father Chen didn't buy his nonsense: "Liu Haizhong, stop trying to make excuses.

If you don't give me a satisfactory answer to what happened today, I don't care whether you really didn't know about it or not. You must solve this matter for me and get our money back!

Otherwise, I will never be done with you!"

Chen's mother said loudly: "It's not enough to just pay the three hundred and fifty yuan. You have to add today's fine, so the total is five hundred and fifty yuan."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he was almost scared. You know, his monthly salary was only a few dozen yuan, how could he have 550 yuan?

Liu Haizhong tried to calm himself down at this time: "Old Chen, I treat you as a relative, so I am kind enough to introduce you to your family. I really don't know anything, and I'm not a proper matchmaker. This matter has nothing to do with me.

If you have any problems, go find that old lady Jia Zhang. She was the one who took the betrothal money from your family. It has nothing to do with me."

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong turned around as if nothing had happened, wanting to take the opportunity to slip away.

However, as soon as he took a step, he heard a loud "clang".

Father Chen pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it hard on the table.

"Liu Haizhong, if you don't explain this matter clearly today and find a way to get the money back to me, don't even think about leaving this door!

Do you think you can clear yourself so easily? It's not that easy! "
