Chapter 44 Shen Zhishou: I won't complain about being wronged, and I won't keep a record o
Sun Hu's remarks left Shen Zhishou completely bewildered.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Shen Zhishou had to admit that what that bastard said actually made a lot of sense.
In later generations, if a woman tells a man that he is a good person, then the man should understand that there is no future for them.
Then there are some women who are carefree and unrestrained when they are young, but when they get older they find an honest man to settle down with, saying they want to live a stable life.
Honest people really deserve to be bullied!
Looking at the self-righteous Sun Hu, Shen Zhishou wondered if he should just beat him up!
"Young man, are you very angry?"
"But this has been an unchanging truth for thousands of years!"
"Aren't all the rich and powerful doing the same thing?"
"Even now, what difference does it make?"
"No matter what slogans they shout, they all end up doing the same thing."
"I, Sun Hu, have been able to sit in my current position since the Republic of China era, even during the times of relative peace, right up until now. What do you think I've relied on to achieve this?"
"No matter what, I always have someone above me!"
"Trying to fight me?"
"What gives you the right?"
Sun Hu looked at Shen Zhishou coldly.
Although Shen Zhishou was tall and imposing, Sun Hu saw him as an honest man who followed the rules, and he could easily bully an honest man.
"You're right!"
Shen Zhishou smiled, "I should write them a letter of understanding."
"Tiger Lord, I've learned a lot!"
Shen Zhishou looked at Sun Hu with a smile and raised his hand to signal the other party to prepare paper and pen.
These things are definitely needed to write a letter of understanding.
"Young man, you're a respectable person, so naturally I won't be unrespectable either!"
Sun Hu clapped his hands, and immediately someone came over, holding an envelope in both hands, and handed it to Sun Hu.
"Here, this is some compensation!"
"It's not much, but it's a small token of my appreciation. Don't think it's too little, young man!"
"I wouldn't dare!"
Shen Zhishou quickly wrote a letter of understanding.
Then, he took the envelope containing an unknown amount of compensation from Sun Hu and walked out of the courtyard with the man who had brought him there.
Returning to the train station police station, Xiong Dahai saw Shen Zhishou again and saw the letter of understanding, but ultimately said nothing.
"Xiao Shen, I'm sorry, we didn't do our job properly!"
Xiong Dahai felt ashamed.
Knowing full well that Shen Zhishou was the victim, and knowing that this matter shouldn't be resolved this way, there was nothing we could do; this was reality.
He couldn't afford to offend the person behind Sun Hu.
Shen Zhishou remained calm and replied with a smile, "You're too kind!"
"Director Xiong, I can't talk to you any longer. I'm setting up my kang (heated brick bed) at home right now, I have to get back quickly!"
"You're busy, I'll be going now!"
This time, Shen Zhishou encountered no accidents and boarded the bus smoothly, making his way to the courtyard house.
He's a good person!
He's an honest person too!
Therefore, he had no choice but to compromise when faced with criminal gangs.
I feel so wronged!
However, he didn't voice his grievances.
Of course, he didn't keep a notebook.
He only knows how to settle scores.
Of course, this settlement will take a while; we can't rush it. Well, let's wait until it gets dark!
Back in the courtyard house, the work of setting up the kang (heated brick bed) was almost complete.
Yu Li was quite happy to see Shen Zhishou return.
It was lunchtime.
Shen Zhishou took Yu Li with him, preparing to go out for dinner.
As a result, Lou Xiao'e came over, wanting to join them.
That's definitely not a problem.
As for Xu Damao?
According to Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao went back to his old house to visit his parents.
"Sister Xiao'e, why aren't you going with us?"
Yu Li had never paid attention to Xu Damao before, but now that she heard this, she couldn't help but ask him a question.
This is truly bringing up the very thing that shouldn't be brought up.
However, Lou Xiao'e didn't feel embarrassed at all, and answered frankly, "I don't want to go. Every time I go, his mother asks me when I'm going to have a son!"
"Are you saying that having a son is solely my responsibility?"
"Xu Damao is always running around, either showing movies in the countryside or drinking with people. When he comes home, he sleeps like a log. How am I supposed to live alone?"
Lou Xiao'e was extremely angry when she talked about these things.
Originally, Lou Xiao'e had the air of a well-bred lady, but after marrying Xu Damao, she gradually changed.
Yu Li nodded and said, "Sister Xiao'e, why didn't you tell your mother-in-law?"
"I told her, but she just ignored me, letting it go in one ear and out the other. I'm too lazy to keep saying it!"
"..."
Shen Zhishou walked behind the two and heard Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li's conversation. He was speechless. Was it really appropriate for such private words between women to be said in front of a grown man like him?
However, neither of them was aware of this.
As they walked to the state-run restaurant, when ordering, both Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e turned their attention to Shen Zhishou.
Shen Zhishou asked the waiter and then simply ordered three dishes and a soup.
The money was naturally paid by Shen Zhishou.
Lou Xiao'e wanted to pay her share, but Yu Li stopped her.
The reason is perfectly valid: they have plenty of time ahead of them, so one more meal won't make a difference.
Lou Xiao'e didn't think much of it and agreed.
As for what she was thinking, no one knows.
After the meal, Lou Xiao'e took the initiative to go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and bought three bottles of Beibingyang soda, one for each of them.
"Sister Xiao'e, you're too kind!"
"You treated me to dinner, so I'll treat you to Beibingyang soda. What's there to be polite about?"
Lou Xiao'e chuckled.
Shen Zhishou couldn't help but glance at Lou Xiao'e a couple more times.
No wonder Lou Xiao'e was able to make her business thrive in the port city later in the story; with her self-awareness, she couldn't have done anything wrong.
After all, this can be considered a family tradition.
Unfortunately, she's a bit clueless when it comes to judging people.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense should realize that if a stranger keeps speaking ill of their spouse, the stranger has ulterior motives.
This is a real and tangible way to damage someone's marital relationship.
However, speaking too intimately with someone you barely know is a major taboo in interpersonal relationships.
Shen Zhishou wouldn't tell Lou Xiao'e this. He had barely spoken a few words to Lou Xiao'e, and even less with Qin Huairu.
Back at the courtyard house, the craftsmen had already resumed work.
Shen Zhishou helped with some chores within his ability, while Yu Li simply followed Lou Xiao'e to the Xu family's house in the backyard and became friends with the Lou Xiao'e sisters.
By mid-afternoon, the kang (heated brick bed) was ready.
Shen Zhishou thanked the masters and then invited another master to the Xu family's backyard.
Lou Xiao'e also wanted to build a kang (a heated brick bed). She had previously asked Shen Zhishou to invite the craftsman over to take a look after he finished his work here, and to see how the work should be done.
The master was naturally delighted.
They are a construction team from the neighborhood committee, but they don't receive a fixed salary. They only earn income when they have work to do, and they can occasionally eat at the neighborhood committee's canteen thanks to the neighborhood committee's support.
The Xu family could certainly have a heated brick bed.
After Lou Xiao'e made an appointment with the craftsman to set up the kang (a heated brick bed), the deaf old lady from the backyard also came closer.
"E'zi, aren't you going to tell Xu Damao about this?"
"Be careful he doesn't blame you when he comes back!"
The moment the deaf old lady opened her mouth, she was putting Xu Damao in a bad light.
However, Lou Xiao'e didn't recognize it at all.
