Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

On the bustling streets, the aroma from the braised food stall seems unable to conceal the embarrassment and loneliness.

I thought I could win a place in the industry with my skills, but unexpectedly, a misunderstanding made this ordinary life so complicated.

People came because of Qin Huairu instead of the braised dishes, which affected Sha Zhu's business.

Jia Zhang and her dog Erdaye appeared in Sha Zhu's sight like two stumbling blocks.

Their appearance seemed to indicate that things would not go smoothly.

Sha Zhu frowned and felt disgusted.

"Get out of the way, don't block my business." Sha Zhu said coldly, trying to drive him away with words. Jia Zhang didn't care, she glared at Sha Zhu, and a smug smile appeared on her lips.

"Hey, isn't this Shazhu? What, if Qin Huairu doesn't come, the braised dishes can't be sold?" Jia Zhang said sarcastically, seeming to enjoy this moment of ridicule.

Arguing at this moment will only make you more passive.

Don't be defeated like this, prove your worth through actions.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was unmoved, Jia Zhang moved forward a little more, with the smile on her face becoming more and more wild.

He called over the second uncle who was standing by and urged him, "Second uncle, don't you love eating Sha Zhu's stewed dishes the most? Why are you standing still today? Come on, go and try some and see if his cooking skills have deteriorated."

Hearing this, the second uncle hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the braised food and reached out to take it.

Sha Zhu was quick to grab Second Uncle's wrist and said coldly, "Second Uncle, you can't just taste my stewed food. You have to buy it first and then taste it."

Being grabbed by Sha Zhu, the second uncle felt a little embarrassed. He glared at Sha Zhu and said angrily, "Sha Zhu, what's your attitude? I am your elder, what's wrong with eating some of your stewed food?"

"Elders? Should elders take advantage of their seniority? I do business here, we don't care about personal relationships, we only care about rules." Sha Zhu sneered, let go of his hand and said.

"Hey, Shazhu, what's wrong with you? Why don't you even give face to the second master?" Seeing that the situation was not good, Jia Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt.

After saying this, Jia Zhang's face became even gloomier, and she stared at Sha Zhu as if she wanted to eat him alive.

"Second Master, don't be polite to him. Let's show him today who sets the rules in this courtyard!" Jia Zhang instigated, her voice sharp and harsh.

The second master was a person who loved to take advantage of others. When provoked by Jia Zhang, he immediately became excited. He straightened his back and barked at Sha Zhu like an angry dog: "You little bastard, today I will let you see how powerful I am!"

Upon seeing this, everyone stepped aside, fearing that they would be affected by this farce.

Sha Zhu sneered in his heart. Jia Zhang and the second master were really a pair of funny guys. They were so shameless just to order braised dishes.

However, Sha Zhu was not an easy person to deal with and had already prepared a plan to deal with the situation.

Just as the second uncle pounced forward, he quickly picked up a small stool beside him and smashed it towards the second uncle.

The second uncle didn't expect Sha Zhu to fight back like this, and was hit directly. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang became furious, rushed forward and pushed down Sha Zhu's braised food stall.

Braised dishes, sauces, bowls and chopsticks were scattered all over the floor, and the aroma immediately spread everywhere.

Sha Zhu stood up suddenly, grabbed Jia Zhang's collar, and said coldly: "Don't go too far! Although my stewed food stall is small, I built it with my own hands, and I won't allow you to ruin it like this!"

Jia Zhang was so intimidated by Sha Zhu's aura that she was speechless for a moment.

When the people around saw this, they also started talking about it and expressed their dissatisfaction with the behavior of Jia Zhang and the second uncle.

Sha Zhu clenched his fists and stared at Jia Zhang. The anger in his heart was like a blazing fire that could explode at any time.

Just then, Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru hurried over, and when they saw the scene in front of them, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

"What's going on?" Lou Xiao'e walked to Sha Zhu and asked softly.

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and briefly recounted the whole story.

"How could you do this? He worked so hard to set up his stall and you come to mess it up!" Qin Jingru accused angrily.

"Making trouble? I think it's Shazhu who doesn't know how to do business! If Qin Huairu doesn't come, the braised dishes can't be sold. Who can be blamed for this?" Jia Zhang was unmoved and retorted with a sneer.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e knew in her heart that this dispute could no longer be resolved with words.

She stepped forward and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Jia Zhang, we are all neighbors, why do we have to make things so awkward? How about this, let's calculate Sha Zhu's losses and you just compensate him."

Jia Zhang snorted and said contemptuously, "Compensation? Why should I pay? This stewed food stall was originally run by a fool, what does it have to do with me?"

As she said this, she actually raised her foot again and stomped hard on the braised dishes scattered on the ground.

Sha Zhu couldn't bear it any longer, he rushed forward and pushed Jia Zhang to the ground.

The two men immediately started fighting each other, and the people around them screamed and stepped back, fearing that they would be affected.

Sha Zhu was extremely angry, but he couldn't break free from Jia Zhang's entanglement.

"Hahaha, Shazhu, is this all you can do?" Jia Zhang laughed triumphantly, as if she saw Shazhu's weakness and helplessness.

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and tried his best to break free, but his strength seemed so insignificant under Jia Zhang's entanglement.

Unable to transform this emotion into actual power.

Just then, Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru rushed forward and tried to separate the two.

But Jia Zhang laughed even more arrogantly: "Why, you two want to join in the fun too? Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Sha Zhu felt humiliated and couldn't accept himself being so embarrassed in front of this group of people. He pushed Jia Zhang away with force and stood up suddenly.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this?" Sha Zhu said coldly.

Jia Zhang and the people around were stunned, as if they were intimidated by Sha Zhu's aura.

Sha Zhu took the opportunity to step forward and grabbed Jia Zhang's collar.

"You're wrong." Sha Zhu's voice was deep and powerful. "I'm not the kind of person you think I am. I will prove to you that my braised food stall is not just for making money, but also to prove my own worth!"

As he said this, he pushed Jia Zhang to the ground.

The crowd around suddenly exclaimed, as if they saw the powerful aura emanating from Sha Zhu.

Jia Zhang was lying on the ground, looking at Sha Zhu in horror.

Sha Zhu fought back hard, but failed to hurt Jia Zhang and was exhausted.

Jia Zhang rolled on the ground, cursing, looking like an enraged mad dog.

Just then, Qin Jingru couldn't bear it anymore.
