Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

Sha Zhu returned to the house in a daze. When he heard a "clang", he knew that his window was smashed. But he was in no mood to care about it now. He really didn't expect it to be so serious.

Originally, I thought that Yi Zhonghai and others would be fine after sweeping the streets for a few days, but now it has come to the factory. If things go wrong, they might really lose their jobs.

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

"Minister Lin, my old Yi is also bewitched. He listened to Liu Haizhong's instigation and reported you." The first aunt said with red eyes.

"First aunt, you are wrong." The second aunt said angrily, "Didn't your old Yi say that he wanted to teach Minister Lin a lesson? We didn't want Minister Lin to lose his job."

"You are talking nonsense. It was your Liu Haizhong who instigated it." The first aunt said loudly.

"Get out, everyone knows that your old Yi always likes to target Minister Lin..." The second aunt also retorted.

...

Listening to the two quarreling, 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 knelt on the ground.

"Minister Lin, you are magnanimous, let Old Yan go."

"This is the attitude of admitting mistakes." Lin Shaowen praised.

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

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 really got sick and died, no one would care.

As for Liu Haizhong, although Liu Guangqi had already joined the workforce and went to the south early, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian were still half-grown boys, and they still had to rely on Liu Haizhong to help them get married and have children.

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

"Zhang Ke, what's the matter?" Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

"The factory sent me here to ask for your opinion on the handling of the case, whether it should be treated leniently or severely." Zhang Feng said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean by lenient, and what do you mean by severe?" Lin Shaowen laughed.

"If it's lenient, they will be imprisoned for seven days, and then fined three months' salary, and then go to the toilet for half a month." Zhang Feng said in a stern tone, "If it's severe, the unit will directly fire them, and then send them to the court for falsely accusing the leader."

Court?

The three aunts almost fainted when they heard this word.

Isn't this just imprisonment or labor reform?

"Minister Lin, you must show mercy." The first aunt said with tears streaming down her face.

"Yes, Minister Lin, you must show mercy."

The second and third aunts also said in a sad voice.

Lin Shaowen pondered for a while, then looked at Zhang Feng and smiled, "Lock it up first. I'll discuss it with my wife. I'll go to the factory tomorrow to give the leader an answer in person."

"Okay."

Zhang Feng nodded and turned to leave.

"Three aunties, 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 aunties said terrified.

"One thousand yuan, one thousand yuan each..."

Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"One thousand?"

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

Especially the three aunties, Yan Bugui only made more than 30 yuan a month, and they had to save up for several years to make one thousand yuan.

"Minister Lin, isn't this too much..." said the first auntie wiping her tears.

"I'm not discussing this with you." Lin Shaowen looked at the dark sky and chuckled, "If I don't receive the money before I go to work tomorrow...you can go out and paste matchboxes."

"I'll give it to you." Auntie One gritted her teeth.

"I'll give it to you too." Auntie Two said, trying to suppress her heartache.

"I...I don't have that much money." Auntie Three 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 Auntie Three could be surprised, he heard him say, "If that's the case, then forget it. It's impossible for Old Yan to go to jail while Uncle One and Uncle Two are at large, right? That's not appropriate."

"Auntie Three."

Auntie One and Auntie Two were immediately anxious.

"I...my family really doesn't have that much money." Auntie Three cried heartbreakingly.

"You don't have it, but they do." Lin Shaowen nodded at Auntie One and Auntie Two.

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

"Okay."

Third Aunt's heart was almost broken.

One thousand yuan, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang can find any beautiful woman.

But now... I have to pay.

Late at night.

Aunt sent three thousand yuan over, begged, "Minister Lin, you must talk to the factory."

"Got it."

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

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

"What's going on?" 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 envelopes and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Shao Wen, why don't you 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 free from the constraints of the 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.

"Not that scared." Lin Shaowen lit a cigarette and said leisurely, "This person, once he is free from restraint, he can really do anything. What's more, it's just this little thing... It won't take long to get in."

A rabbit will bite when it is anxious, let alone a human.

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

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

"Well, you should rest early too."

After Lou Xiao'e said that, she took Qin Jingru back to the room.

In the bedroom.

Lou Xiao'e casually put the envelope in the drawer at the head of the bed, which surprised Qin Jingru, "Sister-in-law, this is three thousand yuan, you keep it well, I'll go out first..."

After saying that, she got up and walked out.

"No need." Lou Xiao'e held her back and laughed softly, "Although the people in our courtyard are bad, they rarely steal. Moreover... they dare not come into our courtyard."

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

After all, she was a girl from a wealthy family. She disposed of thousands of yuan so casually. If it were her... she would have to dig a hole and hide it.

That night.

Many people in the courtyard tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep.

Three uncles were arrested at the same time, and this courtyard... was going to change.
