Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

"Oh, he's finally gone."

Wang Xiaohua wiped the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Yu Haitang glared, "Do you mean you don't welcome Shaowen and me back?"

"It's not that we don't welcome him, it's Director Lin... He's too powerful." Wang Xiaohua said with lingering fear, "He sat here... Hey, didn't you see your father didn't dare to say anything?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Yu Aiqiao wiped his face and smiled bitterly, "Do you know Director Wu? He's the head of our printing factory... Yes, that old man with a white beard, he's over 60 years old, and he's still a deputy director. Your son-in-law, what a guy... A 25-year-old director-level cadre, how can I not be afraid?"

"Haitang, tell mom, what kind of person is Lin Shaowen?" Wang Xiaohua pulled Yu Haitang to sit on the stool.

"He didn't really tell me, but Director Lin Gang... the one who came to our house last time, said Shaowen is a doctoral student, the vice president of Union Hospital, and a doctoral supervisor at the Medical University..."

Yu Haitang said with difficulty, "By the way, he is also the 'first deputy director' of our steel mill. Many people say that Director Yang has to give him three points."

"Wow."

Yu Aiqiao and Wang Xiaohua were stunned by the long list of titles.

It took a long while.

The two of them came to their senses and looked at Yu Haitang with complicated eyes, "Why do you think he likes you?"

They were not very clear about Guo Heizi holding Yu Haitang hostage. Director Wang just said that Yu Haitang and Lin Shaowen met the gangsters, and they fell in love with each other, and came to the door in person to act as a matchmaker.

As for Qin Jingru and others, Director Wang was very vague, just saying that Lin Shaowen was divorced.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Yu Haitang said unhappily.

"I think your mother is quite right." Yu Aiqiao said with a complicated look, "With Director Lin's conditions, can't he choose any girl in the city? You are okay, but don't you know what kind of family we are?"

"..."

This sentence made Yu Haitang speechless.

In her opinion, Lin Shaowen must find the daughter of a ministerial cadre to be a good match.

"Since you are destined to be together, then you should live a good life with him, but don't be stubborn, otherwise if he doesn't want you anymore, I won't go to persuade him." Wang Xiaohua pouted.

"Humph."

Yu Haitang snorted and said nothing.

Wang Xiaohua ran to the room to take out the betrothal gift given by Lin Shaowen, but Yu Aiqiao and Yu Haitang were not calm as soon as they opened it.

"This... how much is this?" Yu Aiqiao swallowed his saliva.

"Two... two thousand?" Wang Xiaohua exclaimed and fell to the ground. "Oh my god, Director Lin gave us so much money, how much dowry do we have to pay?"

"This..."

Yu Aiqiao was also in trouble and dared not say anything.

"This is Shaowen's tribute to you." Yu Haitang whispered.

"What? Filial piety?"

Yu Aiqiao and Wang Xiaohua widened their eyes. This is two thousand yuan.

Even if their family did not eat or drink, they would have to save it for five years.

"Haitang, how much salary does Director Lin get a month?" Wang Xiaohua pulled Yu Haitang.

"I won't tell you." Yu Haitang frowned and said, "Don't think about Shao Wen, and... you keep some of this money, I have to take the rest back."

"Take it back, take it all back." Yu Aiqiao said anxiously, "We don't have to worry about food and drink now, so there's no point in keeping so much money."

Wang Xiaohua silently put the money back into the envelope, handed it to Yu Haitang, glanced at Yu Aiqiao, and Yu Aiqiao immediately understood and walked towards the kitchen.

"Haitang, Mom will tell you the truth, you have to keep an eye on Director Lin." Wang Xiaohua said seriously, "I don't know how much money he makes a month, but it must be at least several hundred, right? Look at his appearance again... Tsk tsk tsk, I haven't seen anyone more handsome than him."

"This man is handsome, has a high status, and is rich... Then women will definitely flock to him."

"Mom, where did you go? Shao Wen is not such a person."

Yu Haitang's pretty face was slightly red, and she always felt that Wang Xiaohua was referring to her when she said "women".

"People's hearts are hidden, who can tell?" Wang Xiaohua said disapprovingly, "It's understandable that this man socializes outside, but you have to keep an eye on the financial power."

"I told you that Shaowen is not such a person." Yu Haitang said with wide eyes, "You don't know how good his reputation is in the factory. He never talks to female comrades, goes home on time after get off work, and never hangs out with others outside."

"This... there are such men?" Wang Xiaohua was a little unconvinced.

In her eyes, a man of Lin Shaowen's status must have countless women around him..

"Why not?" Yu Haitang rolled her eyes and said, "I've been collecting his salary this month..."

"My goodness, you've started collecting his salary?" Wang Xiaohua opened her eyes wide.

"He also told me that I'll be collecting his salary every month in the future, so you can rest assured, right?" Yu Haitang said helplessly.

"Don't worry, don't worry..."

Siheyuan.

It's time for Lin Shaowen to come back, and many people are sitting in the yard to enjoy the cool.

"Hey, Lin Shaowen, why are you back alone?" Sha Zhu said sarcastically.

"Haitang's mother wants to talk to her, this mother and daughter..." Lin Shaowen slapped his mouth halfway through his words, "Sha Zhu, look at my mouth, you don't even have a woman, why am I telling you this."

"Hahaha!"

The whole Siheyuan burst into laughter.

"You..."

Sha Zhu was furious, but he couldn't do anything about Lin Shaowen.

"Why are you back so early?" Qin Jingru stretched out her hand to straighten his shirt, and said with a smile, "I thought you would drink until late today."

"Qin Jingru, you are a divorced woman...you should be careful." Yu Li frowned.

"Yu Li, how can you talk to your aunt?" Yan Jiecheng said with a straight face.

"Auntie...Auntie?"

Lin Shaowen's mouth twitched a little.

"Yan Jiecheng, Lin Shaowen is your dear brother-in-law." Yu Li said angrily.

"Don't, what brother-in-law, that's my uncle..." Yan Jiecheng retorted.

"Yes, that's my uncle."

Yan Jiefang also jumped out to support Yan Jiecheng.

He thought very clearly that Lin Shaowen and Yan Jiecheng had the relationship of Yu Li, but he didn't.

The uncle-nephew relationship was reliable.

"You guys..."

Yu Li was so angry that she looked at Yan Bugui sideways. Seeing that Old Yan looked like a "teachable child", she couldn't help but glared at Lin Shaowen fiercely.

"No, Yan Jiecheng, what's wrong with your aunt?" Lin Shaowen said painfully.

"Uncle, you see, although you and your aunt are divorced, she is still so good to you, right..." Yan Jiecheng said earnestly, "Although Yu Haitang is my sister, she came into the family late, so it's okay to be a little aunt, right?"

"Yan Jiecheng, that's your sister." Yu Li shouted.

"What sister? That's my aunt." Yan Jiecheng said disdainfully.

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense..."

After Lin Shaowen laughed and scolded, he got up and walked towards his home.

Qin Jingru patted Yan Jiecheng's head with satisfaction, threw him a small pack of cigarettes, and then followed Lin Shaowen's footsteps.

"Aunt, please slow down..."

Yan Jiecheng held a cigarette and looked around with a proud look on his face.

Others sneered at him, but Yan Jiecheng's eyes sparkled with admiration.
