Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

Siheyuan.

When Lin Shaowen returned to the courtyard, everyone was just getting off work.

Yan Bugui grabbed his hand and said gratefully, "Uncle, thank you, otherwise your sister-in-law and nephew would be in danger today..."

"Wait a minute." Lin Shaowen asked in surprise, "Did you go to the hospital? How do you know that the third aunt gave birth to a son?"

"Well, didn't the first aunt say that the mother and child are safe?" Yan Bugui looked stunned.

"Third uncle, don't talk nonsense, I heard from Lin Shaowen that the mother and child are safe." The first aunt said hurriedly.

"I was just trying to comfort Auntie. I didn't even see her give birth, so how could I know whether she gave birth to a son or a daughter?" Lin Shaowen rolled his eyes and said, "Old Yan, your wife is giving birth in the hospital, why are you still here?"

"I was just about to go to the hospital." Yan Bugui said embarrassedly, "Uncle, you know I'm having a hard time recently... I'll give you the medical expenses you paid in a few days."

"Don't worry." Lin Shaowen shook his head and said, "I didn't pay the medical expenses in advance. The street office paid the medical expenses in advance... If you want to pay it back, just go to the street office and give it to Director Wang."

"Ah?"

After Yan Bugui shouted, he said with great pain, "Uncle, you're not right. Your sister-in-law is in the hospital, why don't you pay the medical expenses in advance first?"

Qin Jingru frowned and was about to speak.

But Lin Shaowen stopped her and said hypocritically, "Who said it wasn't? You and I are like brothers, so this is nothing to worry about... But Director Wang has already spoken, I can't tell Director Wang that you don't have to pay, I will pay for it, right? That's so inappropriate."

"That's right."

Shazhu nodded and said, "If Old Lin pays for it, Director Wang will say he is ignorant."

This is stupid.

Yan Bugui was almost mad to death.

Is the money owed to Lin Shaowen the same as the money owed to the street office? The money owed to Lin Shaowen, let alone a lot... It's okay to delay it for a year or two, right? But the money owed to the street office, do you dare to delay it?

Director Wang, that woman, is armed.

"Okay, Old Yan, go to the hospital to see the third aunt, Lin Shaowen is back, and there is no one to watch the hospital." Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice.

"Hey."

Yan Bugui responded and hurriedly pushed the cart towards the door.

"Yan Jiecheng, your mother is giving birth in the hospital, why are you standing there?" Xu Damao asked in surprise.

"Why am I standing there?" Yan Jiecheng said dissatisfiedly, "My father went to the hospital, I have to cook and send it to them later?"

"You cook?" Sha Zhu sneered, "I have known you for more than 20 years, and I have never seen you cook."

"Get out of here, this is my family's business, what do you care about it."

Yan Jiecheng scolded and turned back to the house.

Seeing this, the two brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang also hid in the room.

"No, what does this mean?" Lin Shaowen said in surprise, "Why don't they seem very happy that these three aunts are giving birth? Is it because there is one more person to share their mother's love?"

Puff!

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Old Lin, if we talk about being bad, I won't admit defeat to anyone but you."

Xu Damao's face flushed with laughter.

"Lin Shaowen, you are so smart, don't you think it through?" Yi Zhonghai said calmly, "What kind of character is Yan Laoxi? He is the kind of person who takes advantage of others... If Yan Jiecheng and the others come to see if they can help him, they will be punished."

"Fuck, no way?" Lin Shaowen said in surprise, "Yan Jiecheng doesn't even have a child yet, so he has to raise his younger brothers and sisters?"

"What do you think?" Yi Xiaolong pouted, "Since the third aunt got pregnant, Yan Jiecheng has been worried every day."

"That's right." Lin Shaowen sighed, "It would be great if they were like you, happy to be a father..."

"Hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao even rolled on the ground with laughter.

Yi Zhonghai and Yi Xiaolong looked extremely ugly, staring at Lin Shaowen fiercely, wishing they could stab him twice.

"What are you so happy about?"

A light laugh came from outside.

"Hey, Yu Li, why are you back?"

Qin Jingru shouted and immediately stepped forward to hold her hand.

Yan Jiecheng, who was hiding at home and eavesdropping, couldn't help but come out when he heard Yu Li's name.

"I just went to the street office to do some things. I thought it was not a good idea to always live in my mother's house, so I just came back to live." Yu Li smiled, "and my maternity leave is over, I have to go back to work."

"Do things, what things?" Yu Haitang frowned.

"Divorce."

Yu Li spit out two words, and the whole yard exploded instantly.

"Yu Li, what are you crazy about?" Yi Zhonghai frowned,"Isn't your husband a cadre? Why don't you live a good life and divorce again?"

He didn't care about Yu Li, but the women in this courtyard divorced too frequently.

Don't let Qin Peiru follow suit and divorce Yi Xiaolong.

"Uncle, what you said is interesting. What does my divorce have to do with you?" Yu Li rolled her eyes and said, "I don't see my husband for a whole year, and now he has to live in the south... Do you think I should go with him or not?"

"This..."

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment.

Although he also came from the countryside to the capital, he has lived here for so many years, so he is naturally a Beijinger.

Although China is big, how can it compare to the capital?

"You did the right thing." Yu Haitang said in a deep voice, "Our Beijing girls don't marry outside the city...If you leave the city, you will be finished if you want to come back."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yu Li with complicated eyes.

Yu Li wore a black woolen coat today, with a pair of small boots on her feet, revealing a part of her snow-white calves.

Her pretty face was also slightly powdered, looking delicate and beautiful, not like someone who had given birth to a child at all.

The three Liu brothers not far away also looked at Yu Li, muttering something.

"Just get divorced, it's good to be alone." Qin Huairu took her arm and said, "Let's go home, I'll make you something delicious today."

"Thank you, Sister Qin."

Yu Li and her walked hand in hand towards the west wing yard.

"Old Lin, is your yard not good for Feng Shui?" Xu Damao frowned.

"Why do you say that?" Lin Shaowen asked in surprise.

"You calculate it." Xu Damao pinched his fingers and said, "Qin Huairu is divorced, right? Yu Haitang is also divorced, right? This Yu Li is also divorced... Isn't this bad Feng Shui?"

Swish!

Everyone looked at Lin Shaowen nervously.

This matter cannot be thought about in detail. Thinking about it this way... it seems really a bit strange.

"That's true."

Lin Shaowen touched his chin and said, "Counting it up, you are also divorced, I am also divorced, Shazhu Yan Jiecheng, Qin Peiru Zhang Wan... it seems that there is indeed a problem."

"Wow."

Everyone suddenly felt creepy.

If you don't count it, you don't know. Once you count it up, in this era of extremely low divorce rates, this courtyard is indeed unique.
