Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Sha Zhu nodded in agreement, and secretly swore in his heart that he would change himself and never let the people around him get hurt because of him again.

He turned around and went back to the house to pack his luggage, but in his heart he had already begun to think about how to repay Yi Zhonghai's kindness and how to prove with his actions in the future that he, Sha Zhu, was not really "stupid".

The courtyard has returned to its former tranquility.

Sha Zhu carried a simple luggage and set out for Yi Zhonghai's home.

Chen Fei stood in front of his house, his eyes piercing the night, his heart surging with unprecedented determination and expectation.

The choice just made on the system interface foreshadows the coming storm.

In Yi Zhonghai's house, the lights were on. Sha Zhu was busy packing his luggage, with an expression of reluctance yet helplessness on his face.

Yi Zhonghai was watching coldly from the side, his eyes flashing with unknown calculations.

On the other side, Qin Huairu gently comforted Jia Zhang, her words full of worry and helplessness about the future, but she didn't know that all this had already been calculated by Chen Fei.

"Ding - the system task has been completed, and the reward has been sent to the backpack." The system's prompt sounded in Chen Fei's mind, clear and firm. He quickly opened the backpack, and the food coupons, the Great Unity, and the cursed talisman that exuded a faint chill came into view.

"It's time to teach that idiot a lesson." Fade Chen thought to himself as he gently stroked the curse talisman with his fingers.

But then he hesitated again.

Although using the curse talisman can temporarily relieve your anger, it is not a long-term solution and may cause greater trouble.

Just as he was hesitating, Qin Huairu's sad eyes and Jia Zhang's mean face flashed through his mind.

"Since we're going to play, let's play big." Chen Fei raised a meaningful smile and decided to use the system reward to not only deal with Sha Zhu, but also to stir up a storm in this courtyard and completely change his situation.

As the night deepened, the courtyard was silent, with only the light in Fade Chen's room still on.

He began to plan a series of plans, from how to use food coupons to improve their lives, to how to cleverly arrange things to make Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi reap what they have sown. Every step was carefully planned and closely linked to each other.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the bluestone slabs of the courtyard, Chen Fei was ready to go.

Holding food coupons, he went to the market and bought a large amount of daily necessities at extremely low prices, attracting the attention of people around him.

After returning to the courtyard, he deliberately showed off in front of everyone. Especially when Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang cast envious glances at him, Chen Fei was secretly proud of himself.

However, this is just the beginning.

In the following days, with the help of the system, Chen Fei not only gradually got out of the predicament in life, but also shined at work and won the appreciation of his leaders.

As for Sha Zhu, trapped by a series of events cleverly designed by Chen Fei, he gradually lost his former arrogance and became a laughing stock in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang saw that the situation was not good, so they began to win over people's hearts and minds in an attempt to save the situation, but they didn't know that all this was already under Chen Fei's control.

Chen Fei calmly exposed their past evil deeds, causing the residents in the courtyard to turn against them, and the two ended up being left alone.

Holding the curse talisman that exuded a faint chill tightly in his hand, Chen Fei knew very well that although this talisman could bring temporary satisfaction, it was not a long-term solution, nor was it the righteous path he wanted in his heart.

So, he sighed softly, put the talisman in his arms, and decided to deal with the coming storm in his own way.

At the same time, Sha Zhu's mood was as heavy as the night.

Ever since the last incident, he seemed to be shrouded in an invisible shadow, and lived in fear every day, fearing that Jia Zhang or some other trouble would come to him.

In desperation, he had to move into Yi Zhonghai's home, hoping to find a little peace in this temporary haven.

Although the three rooms in Yi Zhonghai's house are not spacious, they are enough for Sha Zhu to have a little world of his own. However, hidden beneath this tranquility is his deep fear of the unknown.

Sha Zhu lay in bed, tossing and turning, replaying the conflict with Jia Zhang and the consequences of his kick in his mind.

It was not just a kick, it pushed himself into a more complicated vortex.

The pressure of medical expenses made his already tight life even worse, and the anger in his heart of being wronged and misunderstood was like a wildfire that was difficult to quell.

"Xu Damao, just wait and see!" Sha Zhu swore secretly in his heart.

He was planning how to teach Xu Damao a profound lesson and let him know that he was not a soft persimmon that could be bullied by others.

However, when this anger spread to Chen Fei, Sha Zhu's sanity seemed to be completely devoured.

He believed that if Chen Fei had lent a helping hand at the beginning, Qin Huairu's family would not have to endure so much suffering.

Therefore, he secretly decided to pull Chen Fei down from his position in the kitchen as a way to vent his resentment.

But is Chen Fei so easy to be seen through?

Although he did not directly intervene in the affairs between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, he had been observing secretly, looking for the best time and way to help those in need.

He knew very well that Sha Zhu's anger was just superficial, and behind it was a helpless cry and struggle against life.

One day, the kitchen was extremely busy. Amid the steam, Sha Zhu was concentrating on cutting vegetables, with a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes from time to time.

At this moment, Fade Chen approached quietly, holding a plate of freshly cooked delicacies in his hands, exuding an aromatic aroma.

"Silly Zhu, take a break and try this." His tone was calm, but it carried a force that could not be refused.

Sha Zhu raised his head and gave Chen Fei a complicated look, but he finally took the plate.

At that moment, he seemed to see understanding and tolerance in Chen Fei's eyes, and the anger in his heart was inexplicably extinguished a little.

The two of them sat facing each other in silence, but there seemed to be an endless tacit understanding flowing between them.

A true counterattack does not rely on temporary revenge, but on changing the status quo through one's own wisdom and hard work so that everyone can breathe freely in the sun.

Thus, a bold plan quietly took shape in Chen Fei's mind. He not only wanted to help Sha Zhu out of his predicament, but also to let the people of the entire courtyard see that even in adversity, as long as they have hope and the courage to face it, they will eventually usher in their own spring.

Early Monday morning, the sun shone through the sparse clouds and shone into every corner of the steel mill canteen, but it seemed unable to dispel the dullness in the air caused by the coming storm.

Sha Zhu rubbed his sleepy eyes, his heart filled with unpleasant memories of the weekend, but he quickly put these emotions behind him, because today was the crucial day for the implementation of his plan with MCA.

"Are you ready? Our chance has come." Sha Zhu lowered his voice, his eyes flashing with unquestionable determination.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hua curled up his lips into an imperceptible sneer, but his eyes were shining with endless desire for the position of head chef.

"Don't worry, everything is under control." He responded softly, secretly planning the good show that was about to take place.
