Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

"That's right, Chief Zhang, you can't cover up for Lin Shaowen." Yi Zhonghai said dissatisfiedly.

"Alright, shut up." Director Wang shouted and looked at Lin Shaowen, "Xiao Lin, you can say whatever you want. We will never wrongly accuse a good person..."

"What's the point of me saying it?" Lin Shaowen spread his hands and said, "You said I hired He Yuzhu as a servant, why not let him say it himself?"

"You still dare to quibble..."

Liu Haizhong wanted to say something, but Director Wang gave him a look and he immediately dared not to say anything.

"He Yuzhu, you go ahead." Director Wang said with a straight face.

"Director Wang, they misunderstood. Lou Xiao'e is pregnant. Lin Shaowen knows that his cooking skills are not good, so he asked me to come and help with cooking..." He Yuzhu had just said half of his words when Liu Haizhong and others immediately became excited.

"Captain Xing, quickly arrest him..."

"Shut up."

Captain Xing glared at him and said sternly, "Liu Haizhong, if you dare to interrupt again, I will arrest you now."

Liu Haizhong immediately became timid and didn't dare to speak anymore.

"He Yuzhu, did he give you money?" Director Wang asked in a deep voice.

Yi Zhonghai and others looked at Sha Zhu with encouragement in their eyes.

"No, no, they are all friends helping me, how can I ask for money?" As soon as He Yuzhu opened his mouth, Liu Haizhong and others immediately panicked.

"Silly Zhu, that's not what you said in the yard..." Liu Haizhong said sternly.

"I mean, Lin Shaowen asked me to cook for him, and I explained that I was not a servant." Sha Zhu sighed, "Lin Shaowen is a few years younger than me. If I, a young man, work as a servant for others, get the news out, how can I still live as a human being?"

"This……"

Yi Zhonghai and others were stunned.

There's some buzzing going on, what's going on?

Why did Shazhu suddenly rebel?

"Ah." Lin Shaowen sighed, "I don't know how I offended a few uncles. They are looking for trouble with me every day, as if they are afraid that I will have a good life."

Lou Xiao'e also cooperated very well and her eyes turned red, which made Director Wang immediately furious.

"Catch them all."

"Yes."

Upon receiving the order, Zhang Feng and Captain Xing immediately arrested Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui and pressed them to the ground, without any regard for their dignity.

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding." Liu Haizhong said hurriedly.

"Director Wang, aren't we afraid that Lin Shaowen will make a mistake?" Yi Zhonghai said in panic.

Only Yan Bugui felt hopeless.

Why the hell is he possessed by the devil again?

"Misunderstanding? You falsely accused Xiao Lin, the evidence is irrefutable, lock them all up." Director Wang sneered, then hugged Lou Xiao'e and said, "Xiao'e, you are still pregnant, don't get angry, I will handle this matter."

"Sister Wang, it's okay." Lou Xiao'e sobbed, "Please don't wrongly accuse them. Maybe the three uncles really want Shao Wen's good."

This "maybe" is used very cleverly.

Lin Shaowen almost couldn't help but applaud Lou Xiaoe.

"Pedantism."

Director Wang scolded, "Xiao E, you are a good person in every way, except that you are too kind. These old men are bullying your man, and you are still speaking up for them?"

"Sister, the three uncles are all old. Just lock them up for a few days. Don't notify the factory. What if... if the factory investigates, it would be bad if you lose your job." Lou Xiao'e said pitifully.

When Yi Zhonghai and others heard this, their heads suddenly started buzzing.

Everyone else looked at Lou Xiao'e in disbelief. They thought Lin Shaowen was cruel enough, but they didn't expect that Lou Xiao'e, who looked weak on the outside, was the king of hell.

"Xiao E, this is our business, don't butt in." Director Wang said with a stern face, "Section Chief Zhang, notify your factory captain Xing to take the man away and lock him up."

"Yes."

Zhang Feng and Captain Xing took the order and left.

Xu Damao, who was hiding in the crowd, shuddered. Damn it... Lou Xiao'e is really a talent. Fortunately, he was alert and stopped making trouble after realizing that something was wrong. Otherwise, he would be like Liu Haizhong and the others, and would be skinned alive if he didn't die.

Chapter 164 Listen to Minister Lin's Opinion

Sha Zhu returned to the house in a daze, and when he heard a "clang", he knew that his window had been smashed. But he was in no mood to pay attention to it now, and he really didn't expect it to be so serious.

Originally, I thought Yi Zhonghai and others would be fine after sweeping the streets for a few days, but now the incident has spread to the factory. I might really lose my job.

The three aunts were also panicked and came to Lin Shaowen's yard crying.

"Minister Lin, my husband Lao Yi was also bewitched and followed Liu Haizhong's instigation, so he reported you." An aunt said with red eyes.

"First Aunt, you're not doing this right." Second Aunt said angrily, "Didn't your old Yi say that he wanted to teach Minister Lin a lesson? We don't want Minister Lin to lose his job."

"You're talking nonsense. It was your Liu Haizhong who instigated it." An old lady shouted.

"Get lost! Everyone knows that your husband Yi always likes to target Minister Lin..." The second aunt also retorted.

……

Listening to the two people arguing loudly, Lin Shaowen looked at the third aunt with interest, "Third aunt, what about you? What do you have to say?"

The third aunt gritted her teeth and fell to her knees on the ground.

"Minister Lin, please be magnanimous and let Old Yan go."

"This is the attitude of admitting one's mistake," Lin Shaowen praised.

Seeing this, the first and second aunts immediately knelt in front of Lin Shaowen and cried and begged him.

If Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong really lost their jobs, their two families would be finished. Yi Zhonghai had to save money for retirement, otherwise if he got sick or died, no one would care.

As for Liu Haizhong, although Liu Guangqi had already started working and went to the south early, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian were still half-grown boys and still had to rely on Liu Haizhong's help to get married and have children.

The three were kneeling and begging for mercy when Zhang Feng walked in. Without even looking at them, he stood straight and said, "Minister Lin..."

"Zhang Ke, is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

"The factory sent me here to ask for your opinion on how to deal with the case, whether to impose a lenient or severe punishment." Zhang Feng said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean by lenient punishment and what do you mean by severe punishment?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"If it's a lighter punishment, they will be locked up for seven days, and then fined three months' salary and have to stay in the toilet for half a month." Zhang Feng said sternly, "If it's a heavier punishment, they will be fired directly from the company and then brought to justice for falsely accusing their leaders."

Legal action?

When the three aunts heard this word, they almost fainted.

Isn’t this just going to jail or doing forced labor?

"Minister Lin, please show mercy." An old lady said with tears streaming down her face.

"Yes, Minister Lin, please show mercy."

The second and third aunts also cried out in grief.

Lin Shaowen hesitated for a while before looking at Zhang Feng and smiling, "Keep him locked up for now. I'll discuss it with my wife. I'll go to the factory tomorrow and give the leader a face-to-face reply."

"Ok."

Zhang Feng nodded and turned to leave.

"Three ladies, you don't want your men to lose their jobs, do you?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Minister Lin, what do you want?"

The three aunts said terrified.

"One thousand yuan, one thousand yuan per person..."

Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"one thousand?"

Even though the three of them had prepared themselves mentally, they still felt like they were about to faint when they heard this number.

Especially the three aunts, Yan Bugui only makes more than 30 yuan a month, and they have to save up 1,000 yuan for several years.

"Minister Lin, isn't this too much..." said an old lady wiping her tears.

“I’m not negotiating with you guys.” Lin Shaowen looked at the dark sky and chuckled, “If I don’t receive the money before I go to work tomorrow…you guys can go out and paste matchboxes.”

"I'll give it to you." The aunt said through gritting her teeth.

"I'll give it to you too." The second aunt said, trying hard to suppress her heartache.

"I... I don't have that much money." Auntie sobbed, "Minister Lin, you also know our old Yan's salary. Where can we get so much money?"

"That's right." Lin Shaowen nodded, but before the third aunt could be surprised, he said, "If that's the case, then forget it. It's impossible for Old Yan to go to jail while the first and second uncles go unpunished. That's not appropriate."

"Third aunt."

The first and second aunts suddenly became anxious.

"I...my family really doesn't have that much money." The third aunt cried heartbreakingly.

"You don't, but they do."

Lin Shaowen nodded at the first and second aunties.

The two looked at each other and said through gritted teeth, "Third Aunt, write the IOU and we will each lend you 500."

"it is good."

The three aunts were heartbroken.

For one thousand yuan, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang can find a beautiful lady.

But now... I have to pay.

late at night.

An old lady gave him 3,000 yuan and begged, "Minister Lin, you must talk to the factory."

"understood."

Lin Shaowen yawned, then closed the door and returned to the study.

But he saw Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru sitting on the stools, looking at him with sharp eyes.

"What happened?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"Here, I'll give you some private money."

Lin Shaowen smiled and threw three envelopes to her.

Lou Xiao'e held the envelope and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Shao Wen, why don't we just send them in? They always cause trouble for us."

"It's easy to send them in, but have you ever thought that if these people are freed from the constraints of their unit and become street urchins, wouldn't they have more time to cause trouble for us?" Lin Shaowen chuckled.

"Are you still afraid of them?" Lou Xiao'e disagreed.

"I'm not that scared." Lin Shaowen lit a cigarette and said leisurely, "This guy, once he's freed, he can really do anything. What's more, with just this little thing... he really won't be in there for long."

Even a rabbit will bite when it is angry, let alone a human.

"You are the boss, I will listen to you." Lou Xiao'e smiled sweetly.

"Okay, go back to sleep." Lin Shaowen rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"Well, you should also go to bed early."

After saying this, Lou Xiao'e took Qin Jingru back to the room.

In the bedroom.

Lou Xiao'e casually put the envelope in the bedside drawer, which surprised Qin Jingru. "Sister-in-law, this is three thousand yuan. Please keep it safe. I'll go out first..."

Having said that, he stood up and walked out.

"That's not necessary." Lou Xiao'e held her back and laughed softly, "Although the people in our yard are bad, they rarely steal or do anything untoward. Besides... they don't dare to come into our yard."

Qin Jingru looked at her half-believingly and half-doubtingly, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

After all, she was a girl from a wealthy family. How could she just casually dispose of thousands of dollars? If it were her... she would have to dig a hole and hide it.
