Siheyuan: The Villain's Cool Life

As for the crying outside... Shen He just treated it as music.

The more you care, the more upset you will be. When you don’t care, listening to the crying, you will find it quite gentle.

After eating and drinking, he moved the coal stove back into the house.

When he got into the house, he put away his calm and relaxed look.

I quickly rubbed my hands. Damn it, I was freezing to death. I will never try to be cool again.

Chapter 81 Two Clearances

After warming up for a while, it was already past 5 o'clock.

It was getting a little dark.

I listened outside, but there was no movement.

Just now, when Qin Huairu was squatting on the ground, several women from the backyard quickly came up to help her up and sent her back.

This woman has such a big belly. If something happens here, will anyone be able to live in the backyard?

Yan Bugui and a group of people watched the show so cold that they looked like grandchildren, but they didn't even get a bite.

In the end, he could only sigh and leave the Wang family.

Shen He felt a little warmer and put on a thick cotton coat. He had a small cloth bag in his hand, which contained 2740 yuan, an account book, and an IOU. He also had more than 200 yuan in his pocket.

He carried the bag and went out.

Ignoring the astonished glances, Shen He locked the courtyard door and walked towards the middle courtyard.

When I arrived at Sha Zhu’s main house, I knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" the rain shouted from inside.

"Yushui, I'm Shen He."

"Brother Shen? Why are you here?" Yu Shui quickly opened the door.

Shen He smiled and looked at the table in the room. They should have finished their meal.

"I have something to talk to you and Sha Zhu about. Let's go to the yard and talk."

"okay.

Silly brother, Brother Shen is looking for us."

Shen He was waiting at the door, and the people from the central courtyard had also come out. They also saw Qin Huairu being helped back just now.

After a while, Shazhu and Yushui came out.

"Yushui, do you remember who gave us proof last time I borrowed money?"

"Ah...I remember, brother, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, go ask them to come over, I have something to discuss."

"Oh..." Yu Shui looked at Shen He and ran out.

Sha Zhu blinked a few times. "Something's wrong? What's the matter?"

Yi Zhonghai stood at the door, looking at everything outside. The room was a little dark, and he was just a black shadow.

Jia Zhang pressed her face against the glass and looked at everything outside.

Jia Dongxu leaned against the door frame and looked at it.

After a while, several families came.

They were the same people who signed the certificate.

Shen He didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I'm sorry to invite everyone here so late, but it's just a small matter. Please prove it to me.

Last time, I wanted everyone to prove that I was right in borrowing 3640 yuan from Yu Shui.

"Yes, is there any problem?" asked one of the people in the middle.

"It's okay. Isn't it the New Year? It's time to settle things, so please come over." Shen He explained.

"Hey... I thought it was something, hurry up."

Shen He nodded and took out his notebook. "Yushui, take a look at this account and see if it's correct."

Yu Shui looked at Shen He and took the notebook, opened it and looked at it. It was the same as what she remembered, so she nodded.

"That's no problem. Let's count the money first. Here's 2740 yuan. The big pile is 1000 yuan, the small pile is 500 yuan, and there's 240 yuan in change. Count it and see if it's correct."

"Brother Shen, no need to count." Yu Shui took a look and recognized the money. She had made a mark in a corner at that time. The two stacks of money were the money she gave to Shen He at that time.

"Let's count them to avoid making mistakes." Shen He said.

Sha Zhu squeezed over and said, "Let me count." He took the money and started counting.

The people around blinked their eyes as they looked at the money Shen He took out.

The money is easy to check. The intact bills are unopened and in stacks. I can count the unopened bills quickly by just counting them.

"Money is right."

"Okay, the interest rate was 120 yuan a year. Let's calculate it for half a year. It's easy to calculate, it's exactly 60, right?"

Sha Zhu thought about it and nodded.

Shen He took out 60 yuan from his pocket and put it next to the pile of money.

"Take out the IOU I wrote to you last time."

"Brother Shen,..."

"Yushui, bring me the IOU first, we'll talk later."

Yu Shui pursed her lips and went back to the house.

Sha Zhu also returned to the house and took out a piece of paper. Yu Shui also took out a piece of paper. Shen He took out the same piece of paper from the bag.

"Please check and see if this is what you wrote."

A few people looked at it and saw that it was written by them, "Yes, it's our handwriting."

"That's good. The money is here, and the principal and interest are all in full. Could you please help me burn these three IOUs?" Shen He took out a kerosene lighter and lit it directly.

Several people looked at Shazhu and Yushui, not understanding what they were doing.

But I still did as Shen He said and burned the three IOUs.

"Yushui, the money is all here. Go deposit it in the bank tomorrow morning. It's safer than keeping it with me.

Dear neighbors, I borrowed money from you last time, and this time, in front of everyone and witnesses, we have settled the debt. Please bear witness.

Sorry for the hassle, two eggs per person. It's nothing special, so please don't be disgusted."

Shen He took out some eggs and gave two to each of the witnesses.

"Hey, there's such a good thing, Xiao Shen. Come find me if you have such a thing in the future."

"Thank you for your help, don't worry, I will definitely do it next time." After distributing the eggs, Shen He bowed.

If Yi Zhonghai's face appeared at this moment, people would definitely see that his entire face was distorted.

How did he get rich?

Did he really borrow that money?

Just a little bit, just a little bit.

Shen He smiled crookedly towards Yi Zhonghai's family.

"Yushui, don't forget. Go and save the money tomorrow morning. Don't give it to anyone who wants it, and don't lend it out anymore."

Shen He left after saying this.

Anyway, I don’t need to pretend to be rich now, because I am really rich now.

They all roughly know the income from their banquets, the income from working in the streets, and the income from working as doctors in schools.

It’s less than a hundred yuan a month.

"Brother, wait."

The rain caught up.

"What's wrong?" Shen He smiled.

"Brother, this money..."

"It's better not to take the money, so that no one will keep an eye on you and say bad things about you.

It's okay, it's cold, go to bed early, don't let the money out of your sight, and don't give it to anyone. Save it for tomorrow morning, do you understand?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll go there early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, you're a grown-up girl now. You have to make your own decisions on some things. I'm leaving now. Come back."

After saying this, Shen He turned and left.

Yu Shui wanted to say something, but she looked at the bag in her hand and Shen He who had entered the backyard, then turned around and went back to the house with the bag.

She even ignored Sha Zhu when he called her.

She could feel the raindrops dripping from her tears as she hid in the quilt.

The smile Shen He gave her just now felt so distant.

Sha Zhu stood at the door, looked at Yu Shui's house, then looked at Yi Zhonghai's door, and turned back into the house.

The people in the compound chatted in groups of three or four for a few words before slowly dispersing.

Jia Zhang looked eagerly at Yu Shui's house and then at Sha Zhu's house.

I don't know what weird ideas he has.

As soon as the sun rose, Shen He got up.

I cooked myself some millet porridge with white fungus, red dates, yam and so on.

There is no electricity in this house, which is really annoying.
