Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

"Director Wang, it's not true." Liu Haizhong's forehead was sweating. "Our courtyard is famous for its love and affection. How could such a thing happen?"

"Think carefully before you speak." Captain Xing snorted coldly, "Xu Damao said very clearly that you and Sha Zhu teamed up to force He Yushui to marry Liu Guangfu. Is that true?"

"Is this also considered trafficking in decent women?" Sha Zhu said aggrievedly, "I am her brother. Don't I have the final say in her marriage?"

"He Yuzhu, what is your idea?" Director Wang said angrily, "Now it is a new society, and what matters is free love. Do you still want to arrange a marriage?"

"Director Wang, don't talk nonsense with them." Xu Damao said loudly, "Sha Zhu took 100 yuan from Liu Haizhong, and then he sold He Yushui to Liu Guangfu. If you don't believe it, arrest them and interrogate them and you will know."

"Xu Damao."

Sha Zhu and Liu Haizhong's family gnashed their teeth in hatred.

This guy is really a troublemaker.

"Why are you looking at me?" Xu Damao said complacently, "I have reported to Captain Xing. If a piece of glass breaks in my house tonight, you will be responsible."

"You..."

Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu were immediately furious.

"Liu Haizhong, He Yuzhu, is this true?" Director Wang said seriously, "If it really involves trafficking in women, you will be shot."

"No, no." Sha Zhu heard "shot" and immediately became anxious, "Isn't it that the second aunt intends to marry Yu Shui? The 100 yuan she gave is a betrothal gift. This is not considered trafficking in women, right?"

"Where is the money? Did you give it to He Yushui?" Captain Xing raised his eyebrows.

"No, it's too late." Sha Zhu said embarrassedly.

"He Yushui, are you willing?" Director Wang said with his head tilted.

"No." He Yushui said firmly, "I will make my own decision on my marriage, and Sha Zhu and I have already separated. He has no right to interfere in my affairs. The street office can testify."

"Yes." Director Wang slapped his head and said, "He Yuzhu, you and He Yushui have already separated. What right do you have to make the decision for her?"

"He Yushui, are you going to break off all ties with me?" Sha Zhu said angrily.

"How dare you ask such a question?" He Yushui spat, "Where were you when I needed money to study? Where were you when I had no food to eat? Break off all ties, what kindness have you done to me?"

"I raised you." Sha Zhu said angrily.

"By the way, strictly speaking, you work under your father's name, so I should have half of it." He Yushui said coldly, "You raised me, so let's settle this money and I'll deduct it from you."

...

The whole yard was silent.

He Yushui's words really made sense. Back then, He Daqing gave the work quota to Sha Zhu, which was considered the assets left by his parents, and she did have a share.

"He Yushui, how can you say that?" Second Aunt said unconvinced, "If you didn't have your brother, you would have starved to death all these years."

"My father left me a big house, and I also have half of the work quota. Can I starve to death?" He Yushui said angrily, "If I had this money, I could study until graduation by myself, without Brother Lin's support."

Second Aunt retreated immediately.

Yi Zhonghai shrank his head. The money He Daqing sent back every month was to offset Sha Zhu's account. If calculated, He Yushui should also have a share.

"Shazhu, what do you think about this?" Captain Xing said impatiently, "Now that He Yushui doesn't want to marry, are you going to force her?"

"I... I'm just negotiating." Shazhu looked at the muscular member of the joint defense office behind him and immediately softened his tone, "The betrothal gift has been accepted. If she doesn't marry, her reputation will be ruined."

"Shazhu, you're so stupid." Xu Damao said sarcastically, "Your sister's reputation is ruined, how good is your reputation? When others find out that your sister accepted the betrothal gift but refused to marry, who would dare to introduce a partner to you?"

"Fuck."

Shazhu slapped his head and immediately became anxious, "You can't say that, we are still negotiating... I haven't got the money yet, it's still with Qin Peiru."

"Hmm."

Everyone looked at him strangely.

"Excuse me, are you and Qin Peiru remarried?" Lin Shaowen asked curiously.

"No." Sha Zhu curled his lips and said, "She doesn't want to give birth to a child for me, why should we remarry?"

"Sha Zhu, you are so useless." Xu Damao said contemptuously, "No wonder people don't want to introduce you to someone, you are always entangled with a widow... If it were me, I would also look down on a loser like you."

"Xu Damao, what the hell are you talking about?" Sha Zhu glared.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Captain Xing slappedHe slapped him on the head and said seriously, "Now I give you two choices. First, return the money to the other party and then go with me. Second, you just go with me."

"No, why should I go with you after I return the money?" Sha Zhu was shocked.

"This is the opinion of the street office." Director Wang said coldly, "It's a new society now. You are still playing the arranged marriage trick. If you don't keep you in prison for a few days, I don't know what kind of mess you can do."

"I'll return the money, return the money." Sha Zhu said with a bitter face, "Director Wang, can you not lock him up?"

After saying that, he winked at Lin Shaowen, indicating that he should help say a few words.

"Director Wang, I think it's useless to lock him up."

Lin Shaowen took out a cigarette, handed one to Captain Xing, and threw the cigarette to Yan Jiecheng.

"What do you mean?" Director Wang said seriously.

"The Joint Defense Office is not well-off to begin with, and we still have to provide him with three meals a day. Why bother?" Lin Shaowen exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Now that it's snowing so heavily, why not send them to the streets to sweep the snow? This way, we can save food and make some contributions to the streets."

"This is a good idea." Captain Xing said immediately, "Many elderly people fell yesterday, and the snow on the streets needs to be swept well."

"Liu Haizhong, He Yuzhu... Originally we were going to lock you up, but now Lao Lin is begging for mercy, and I think what he said makes sense. You go to sweep the snow tomorrow for a month." Director Wang said seriously.

"Director Wang, I'm not involved in this." Liu Haizhong was immediately anxious.

"I don't care if you know it or not, you are the head of the family, anyway, your family has to send someone out." Director Wang said coldly, "Also, this matter ends here, whoever talks nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude."

"Yeah."

Everyone nodded hurriedly.

"Humph."

He Yushui snorted coldly and then ran back to the west wing yard.

Seeing that there was nothing to watch, the others also dispersed.

"Xu Damao, you bastard, wait for me." Sha Zhu gritted his teeth.

"What? You dare to bite me?" Xu Damao said disdainfully, holding a cigarette in his mouth, "Captain Xing, I told you that if you dare to retaliate against me, I will arrest you directly."

"This bastard."

Liu Guangfu also hated it in his heart.

If Xu Damao hadn't intervened, it is possible that this matter would have been done today.
