Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

"Old Lin, how are you? Do you want to have a drink to calm your nerves?" Liu Guangqi teased.

"Still drinking? Our family is almost starving." Qin Jingru said with a straight face, "Liu Guangqi, I tell you... don't be so loud these months. If you want to treat someone to a meal, you have to pay, otherwise don't invite him."

Puff!

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu laughed immediately.

Lin Shaowen, Lin Shaowen, you actually have this day.

In the past, in the courtyard, no matter whether you like Lin Shaowen or not, he is really rich.

One month's salary is equivalent to several months' salary for ordinary people, but now it's good, there is only half a month before the New Year, the supplies are gone, and the money is gone, everyone will laugh at you.

"Lin Shaowen, you are usually very smart, how did you offend the leader?" The deaf old lady laughed.

"Hey, this is a long story..."

Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette and was about to pass it around, but Qin Jingru rushed over and snatched the cigarettes away, leaving him only one.

"Director Qin, you are wrong." Yan Bugui said dissatisfiedly, "Director Lin is a leader after all, what's wrong with giving us workers a cigarette?"

"He has no salary, and he doesn't even have enough cigarettes for himself, so he still gives them to you? Why do you think so beautifully?" Qin Jingru sneered.

...

Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that Qin Jingru was really forced into a corner this time.

"Lin Shaowen, anyway, there is nothing to do, just tell me how you offended the leader." Jia Zhang also said.

"This matter is not your Yi Xiaolong. He reported me for corruption and bribery as soon as I was promoted... Look, the minister fined my salary when he was unhappy." Lin Shaowen said helplessly.

Bang!

Yu Haitang rushed towards Yi Xiaolong with a bamboo pole.

"Ouch."

Yi Xiaolong cried out in pain and was knocked to the ground.

Qin Huairu also found a stick and pounced on him.

"Ouch, auntie, stop hitting me."

"Ah, auntie, spare me."

"Help, Dad..."

...

Yi Xiaolong originally wanted to resist, but Qin Jingru and Yu Haitang were so fierce and accurate that he covered his head and rolled over.

"Lin Shaowen, isn't this over?" Yi Zhonghai said unhappily, "Don't wrongly accuse Xiaolong... If reporting is really useful, wouldn't you have been fined long ago?"

"Uncle, you don't understand this." Liu Guangqi curled his lips and said, "You have never been an official, you don't understand the twists and turns... If Lao Lin was dealt with at that time, wouldn't others say that Director Lin was not in a legitimate position? Can he be promoted after being reported?"

"Liu Guangqi is right." Xu Damao chuckled, "Uncle, it's just right to deal with Lao Lin now, it won't cause any bad effects... and Lao Lin can be punished."

"Dad, Mom... Help me."

Yi Xiaolong wailed loudly.

"Lin Shaowen, Xiaolong is wrong in this matter, can I ask him to apologize to you?" Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice.

Lin Shaowen was about to speak.

Suddenly, Gu Huaiwei walked in from outside the door.

Seeing this scene, he was stunned.

"What are you doing..."

"Director Gu, it was Yi Xiaolong who reported Lao Lin for corruption and bribery, so Lao Lin was fined three months' salary... Qin Jingru and Yu Haitang were so angry that they beat him up." Sha Zhu said with a smile on his face.

"Well, wasn't it because Mr. Zhao went to ask for money that Lin Shaowen was fined? Why did you blame Yi Xiaolong?" Gu Huaiwei said in surprise.

...

The whole courtyard was quiet for a while.

Everyone looked at Lin Shaowen.

"Lin Shaowen, you..."

"Uncle, do you believe her?" Lin Shaowen said righteously, "Director Gu is not from our factory, can you take the news he heard seriously? Stop it."

"Lin Shaowen, this is what your Director Li said in person." Gu Huaiwei said dissatisfiedly.

"Lin Shaowen, you beast."

Yi Xiaolong got up and cried loudly, "I just reported you, and you took it out on me when you were fined. Are you still a human being?"

"Lin Shaowen, you are too much." Yi Zhonghai said with a sullen face.

"Uncle, you are wrong." Yan Bugui said hypocritically, "Yi Xiaolong reported you, he was wrong...but isn't this matter over? He was sent to sweep the toilet, and you still treat him like this?"

"No, do you really believe Gu Huaiwei?"

Lin Shaowen stopped Liu Haizhong who was about to speak, and pouted, "She is not from our unit... Can Director Li tell her the truth? Besides, I am the first deputy director."

"Although Director Li and I are colleagues, I have a good relationship with her. She can't tell the street office that I was fined because of reporting? This will have a very bad impact."

...

Everyone fell into silence.Thinking.

Although Lin Shaowen's words were a bit nonsense, they made some sense if you think about it carefully.

"Lin Shaowen, you..."

"Auntie, can you shut up?" Lin Shaowen bowed and said, "Say one more word... Do you believe that Yi Zhonghai will fight me to death?"

Gu Huaiwei didn't say anything else.

But she was sure that Li Chunhua would not lie, but she had to ask someone to find out.

"Old Lin, how about I treat you to dinner today?" Sha Zhu said with a smile.

"Well, you?"

Lin Shaowen and others looked at him with strange expressions.

Although Sha Zhu seemed to be a decent person, he actually worked hard every time he ate, and rarely took out food.

"No, Shazhu, are you crazy?" Xu Damao said in surprise, "You usually want to spend every penny, but you are treating us to a meal today? Can you afford it?"

"Fuck you, Xu Damao, don't underestimate men." Shazhu cursed, and then looked at Gu Huaiwei with a charming smile, "Director Gu, do you want to have a drink together? It's very cold in this weather, drink a glass of wine to warm up your body."

"Fuck."

Lin Shaowen and others cursed at the same time.

They said why this guy wanted to treat us to a meal, it turned out that he was going for Gu Huaiwei.

"Shazhu, this matter has to be first come first served." Yan Bugui said in a deep voice.

"What the hell?" Shazhu frowned, "What do you mean by first come first served? Director Gu is your daughter-in-law? Did she agree to you?"

"You..."

Yan Bugui was speechless for a while.

"Shazhu, what are you talking about?" Gu Huaiwei glared.

"Director Gu, I'm telling Old Yan not to be a toad wanting to eat swan meat." Sha Zhu hurriedly said, "Man... No, I'm different. I'm just inviting you to dinner, I don't have so many bad intentions."

"Sha Zhu, what about us?" Zhang Wan joked, "Lin Shaowen invited two tables for dinner, you won't be outdone by him, right?"

"Ah? And you guys?"

Sha Zhu hesitated.

Opening one table is fine, but opening two tables... and inviting those women in the west courtyard, he is a little reluctant.

After all, those women usually don't even look at him.
