Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

If Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten that old man to death in Liu Haizhong.

"Lin Shaowen, you are such a beast."

After saying this, Liu Haizhong hurried back home.

He dared to confront Lin Shaowen because Lin Shaowen usually would not take action, but Sha Zhu, the reckless man, didn't care about that.

"Lin Shaowen, why do you cause trouble as soon as you come back?" Yi Zhonghai frowned.

"You're just an old man, you're meddling in everything, and you even want to interfere with other people's conversations?" Lin Shaowen said dissatisfiedly.

"That's right." Xu Damao also stood up and said in support, "Uncle, you always teach us that neighbors should be close to each other. How can we be close without communication?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned.

He was not afraid of dealing with Xu Damao or Lin Shaowen, but if these two got together, it would be a big problem. Although he didn't want to admit it, these two bastards were the smartest among the young generation in this courtyard.

No, we have to find a way to deal with them.

Lin Shaowen felt bored when he saw Yi Zhonghai remained silent.

When passing by Jia Zhang, I saw her lips moving slightly.

"You damned little bastard, you gave birth to a son without an asshole..."

Although she didn't say anything, Lin Shaowen could guess what she was saying given Jia Zhang's level of education.

So Lin Shaowen stopped, approached her quietly, and yelled, "Jia Zhang, look at Old Jia..."

"Ouch."

Jia Zhang jumped up as if her tail was stepped on, and Jia Dongxu and Qin Peiru also fell to the ground from the bench.

"Lin Shaowen, are you looking for trouble?" Jia Dongxu said through gritted teeth.

“No.” Lin Shaowen said innocently, “I just noticed that your father’s portrait was crooked, so I kindly reminded you.”

"Damn it, you did it on purpose."

Jia Zhang sat down on the ground. Just as she patted her thigh with her right hand, she saw one-dollar bills being handed to her.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, do you understand what I mean?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

Jia Zhang didn't answer. She quickly put the bills away, slapped her thigh, and shouted miserably, "Old Jia, come up and take Liu Haizhong away..."

"Jia Zhang, what are you yelling about?" Liu Haizhong rushed out quickly, his face gloomy, "I haven't offended you recently... If you want to yell, you can call me Third Master."

"Liu Haizhong, are you sick?" Yan Bugui could no longer sit still, and stood up and said quietly, "Jia Zhang, it's useless for you to yell at us every day. Xu Damao, Lin Shaowen, and the three uncles in charge have all been yelled at by you."

"Yeah, you might as well change someone else this time..." Xu Damao shouted, but his eyes glanced at Sha Zhu.

"Xu Damao, do you want to be beaten?" Sha Zhu said gritting his teeth.

"Stop making noise." Jia Zhang roared, and waited until everyone was quiet before she said leisurely, "Since no one wants me to invite Old Jia, how about this... I won't call anyone's name if they give me fifty cents."

Good guy.

Lin Shaowen looked at the complacent Jia Zhang with shock. It was true that everyone in this courtyard was a talented person. It had only been a short time and Jia Zhang had started collecting protection fees.

"Fifty cents? Are you crazy about money?" Yan Bugui was the first to quit.

"That's right, for fifty cents, I might as well have a fight with Lao Jia." Sha Zhu also shouted angrily.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I won't fall for it." Xu Damao was also unwilling.

These people knew it clearly in their minds that if they started this, Jia Zhang would blackmail them to death, right?

"Old Jia, come up quickly and take these bastards away."

Seeing that they were unwilling to give money, Jia Zhang immediately shouted at the top of her voice, "Especially Yan Bugui, you should be the first one to come to see him tonight..."

"unlucky."

Yan Bugui cursed and turned back to the house.

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu looked at each other and slipped away.

The others watched Jia Zhang's summoning of the spirit with great interest. Lin Shaowen had been too busy during this period, and there was less fun in the yard.

The next day is the weekend.

Lin Shaowen and Lou Xiao'e were just lying in bed when suddenly someone knocked on the door, making him frown.

"What are you doing? Can't you knock on the door more gently?" Lou Xiao'e scolded.

"Lin Shaowen, come out quickly, someone is looking for you."

Sha Zhu's excited voice came from outside the door.

"Someone is looking for me?" Lin Shaowen frowned.

Most of his acquaintances came directly to his yard, and they asked for letters, so they must be strangers. Who could it be?

Lin Shaowen quickly put on his clothes, pushed back Lou Xiao'e who wanted to follow him out, and then opened the gate.

"Brother Lin."

"Brother, why are you here?"

Lin Shaowen looked at Qin Kan and was shocked.

What was worth the long journey to this city?

A group of people at the door looked at each other, wondering what this guy was called.

Does Lin Shaowen have relatives in the countryside?

"Come in and sit down first."

Lin Shaowen had just sent out the invitation when he saw a little girl standing next to Qin Kan.

She was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with her beautiful black hair tied into two pigtails. She was wearing an old, faded cotton-padded jacket. In such a cold day, she was wearing a pair of cloth shoes with frayed edges.

"This is my girl, Qin Jingru." Qin Kan introduced hurriedly.

"Qin Jingru?"

Lin Shaowen looked at her and couldn't help but sigh that Qinjia Village had a good feng shui.

The girls are all prettier than one another.

Although Qin Jingru does not have the mature charm of Qin Huairu, she is youthful and energetic. Even in the countryside, her skin is very fair, and her big eyes blink at Lin Shaowen.

"Jingru, what did I teach you?" Qin Kan said with a stern face.

"Brother Lin." Qin Jingru called out obediently.

"What Brother Lin? Call him Uncle Lin." Qin Kan scolded.

Pfft!

Sha Zhu and others who were watching the fun suddenly laughed.

You are asked to act big, but you will end up shooting yourself in the foot, right?

"Forest……"

Qin Jingru looked at Lin Shaowen, who was the same age as her, but she couldn't bring herself to call him "Uncle".

"Let's discuss our own issues." Lin Shaowen said hurriedly.

"Don't worry." Sha Zhu came over and said, "Lin Shaowen, everyone calls you brother, so don't mess up the generations."

"Yes, Uncle Lin, please don't mess up the generations."

Yan Jiecheng also enjoyed watching the fun.

"Fuck you."

Lin Shaowen cursed with a smile, invited Qin Kan and Qin Jingru into the house, and was about to close the door, but was stopped by Sha Zhu and Xu Damao at the same time.

"Lin Shaowen, I haven't been to your yard for a long time. You guys chat about your things and we'll take a look around." Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"Yes, Lao Lin, we haven't been to your yard for a long time." Xu Damao also spoke.

"Stop making trouble, I'm entertaining guests." Lin Shaowen said with a headache.

"Uncle Lin, you can entertain us. We won't disturb you." Yan Jiecheng said with a smile.

"..."

Lin Shaowen was speechless and had to open the gate.

Qin Kan and Qin Jingru were also looking at Lin Shaowen's small courtyard and were secretly surprised.

The yard in this city is actually bigger than the one in their country. Even in this cold winter, the flowers in the yard are still blooming. It's amazing.

Lin Shaowen did not invite them to the study, but sat down in the pergola.

He was about to pour tea, but Lou Xiao'e came out with a pot of charcoal fire.

"Shao Wen, who's here... Hey, Brother Qin?" Lou Xiao'e looked at Qin Kan in surprise.

"It's the end of the year now. I came to Sijiu City to attend the meeting as a representative of the Changping Village Party Secretary." Qin Kan was a little proud.

Maybe their village is not the richest, but in terms of prestige, he is like the big brother among the 32 villages in Changping County.

Chapter 157: Sha Zhu's Thoughts

"There are so many branch secretaries in Changping, but in the end it all depends on you, brother." Lin Shaowen also complimented.

"Don't say that." Qin Kan said with a smile, "When it comes to wealth, it still depends on Zhao Er from Zhaojiatun. That old guy is the one who really has some skills."

“Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.”

Lin Shaowen poured tea for the two of them with a smile, while Lou Xiaoe took out some canned candies for them to eat.

"father."

Qin Jingru looked at the candy in front of her and quietly pulled the corner of Qin Kan's clothes.

"Sister Jingru, don't be restrained. Your father and I are close friends regardless of age difference. Just treat this place as your own home." Lin Shaowen smiled and opened a can of yellow peaches and handed it to Qin Jingru.

"Why don't you thank me, Uncle Lin?" Qin Kan said with a straight face.

"Thank you, Brother Lin." Qin Jingru said with a red face.

"Damn little bastards, they had such a good thing but they gave it to these two country bumpkins and didn't even take care of us, an orphan and a widow." Jia Zhang gritted her teeth in hatred.

Jia Dongxu on the side agreed with this, while Qin Peiru hid at home, not daring to show up in front of Qin Kan. Strictly speaking, she, Qin Kan and Qin Jingru were all relatives.

Xu Damao looked at Qin Jingru, who was eating canned food in small bites, with an inexplicable light in his eyes. Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangfu stood together, mumbling to each other about something.

Only Sha Zhu looked at Qin Jingru with a pig-like face, wishing he could eat her alive.

"How many days will you be attending the meeting?"

After Lin Shaowen handed a cigarette to Qin Kan, he threw the remaining cigarette to Yan Jiecheng, motioning him to distribute it.

"Two days. I'll start attending the meeting tomorrow and go back the night after tomorrow." Qin Kan said cheerfully, "I just suddenly thought of you, so I came to see you. I didn't bring anything with me, so don't take it to heart."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Shaowen scolded with a smile, "Have you arranged a place to stay? If not, I'll find a way for you..."

"My accommodation has been arranged." Qin Kan said with a wry smile, "I just wanted to come to the city to have a look. I didn't expect that the guesthouse only has four people in a room, and they are all grown men..."

"Brother, then you can leave sister Jingru with me. I will take care of her for you for two days." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "Come pick her up after the meeting the day after tomorrow. I promise to return her to you in good condition."

"That's great." Qin Kan said happily.

"Don't leave tonight, come and have a drink with me." Lin Shaowen turned his head and called out, "Master He..."

Sha Zhu, who had been paying attention to the conversation between the two people, ran over immediately, and then realized that something was wrong. He couldn't help but asked reservedly, "Lin Shaowen, what's the matter?"

"I have guests today. If you are not busy, why don't you help me cook a meal?" Lin Shaowen spoke very politely, giving him enough face.

"can."

Sha Zhu rolled up his sleeves and grinned at Qin Jingru.

Qin Jingru, however, leaned towards Qin Kan like a frightened deer.

"Silly Zhu, don't scare me." Xu Damao said, "Don't be afraid, sister. This guy is not very smart and loves to fight and make trouble, but he doesn't have any bad intentions."

"Xu Damao, are you looking for a fight?"

Sha Zhu got angry and immediately went to catch Xu Damao.
