Chapter 93: Twists and Turns (3)
When Lee came out of the police station, the sun was about to set.
"Hurry up and take a bath in the bathhouse!" Li Dalong said.
"I'm starving! Can't I take a shower tomorrow?" asked Li Dejin.
"No!" said Li Dalong, "the first thing a person who comes out of a cell must do is take a bath, which is to get rid of bad luck." β
"Nonsense!" said Li Dejin, "it's just nonsense! Who is this nonsense?"
"It's me. Guan Erlin said, "Didn't you kid ask me to come with me? As the saying goes, if you are superstitious and superstitious, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it." Believe it or not, whatever you want. β
"Well, let's take a shower first! Anyway, it's the same tomorrow. Let's go!" said Li Dejin impatiently.
When I got to the door of the bathhouse, it was already closed.
"Great!" exclaimed Li Dejin excitedly.
"Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking. Guan Erlin said, "Today, the second young master was released from prison and failed to wash away the bad luck, I don't know if it is a curse or a blessing in front of me." Everyone at tonight's feast should be calm, and it is better to say less. β
"The bad luck has passed, what are you afraid of?" Li Dejin said disapprerovingly.
"No!" Guan Erlin squinted his eyes and said, "Holding on to it is not as good as that; The hall is full of gold and jade, and Mo can keep it, and he is rich and arrogant, and he is to blame. If you retire after success, the way of heaven is also. β
"Well said!" Shen Zhaojin said, "You are saying that it is the way of heaven to stop in moderation, accept it when it is good, and retire after success, right?"
"Understood, Uncle Guan. Li Dejin said.
"It's good to understand!" Guan Erlin said, "I'm afraid that others won't understand." Xie Zhengzhong has just understood a little bit, and it is unknown whether he can accept it when he sees it, and it is unknown whether your fifth cousin can retire after success. β
......
When he arrived at the door of the restaurant, there was a shopkeeper leading the way: "Ladies and gentlemen, please on the second floor!" Li Dejin quickened his pace to enter the door and hurriedly climbed to the second floor.
Walking into the yang world, I saw a jar of Tanggou sorghum shochu wine and all kinds of seafood on a table of eight immortals: mud snails, sea crabs, sand fish, small squid, sea bass, small meat dogs, shrimp roe...... Li Dejin was dazzled. He had never seen a feast like this.
"A veritable Haixi banquet!" Guan Erlin sighed.
Li De King Kong wanted to take chopsticks, but was stopped by Li Dalong: "Wait, the VIP hasn't arrived yet!"
"Boss Xie, please!" Wang Wuhu appeared at the door, clasped his fists and said with a smile.
Xie Zhengzhong and Zhihuaqi came in proudly, and then there was the majestic Wang Wuhu.
Wang Wuhu stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull the seat, giving Xie Zhengzhong the position of host and guest. Zhi Huaqi was also not polite, sitting next to Xie Zhengzhong, and the other five people also sat down one by one.
Seeing Zhi Huaqi sitting on the second seat, Wang Wuhu was unhappy: "The little guy is twenty years old, and he grew up in the city, why don't you know the etiquette of respect and humility?
Everyone was already in place, Li Dalong stood up and picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Today I will prepare a little wine to show my respect, please don't be polite, eat and drink well!"
"It's all my own family, and I'm so polite! Please make three glasses of faΓ§ade wine first!" Wang Wuhu said.
Xie Zhengzhong picked up the wine glass, stood up and drank it all, and then said with a smile: "Everything in this restaurant is good, but the wine glass is too small." β
Wang Wuhu praised: "Boss Xie is bold!" and then said to the waiter standing on the side, "Shopkeeper, please replace two wine bowls!" I will accompany Boss Xie to get drunk and rest!"
"Okay. The waiter answered, then turned to leave.
When the waiter returned with two bowls, a small black dog followed him and scurried under the table in search of food.
After Wang Wuhu and Xie Zhengzhong drank a bowl of wine, they said to Zhihuaqi: "Gongzi Xie, our uncle and nephew will drink three more cups!"
At this time, Zhi Huaqi was paying attention to the puppy under the table, and no one had ever called him "Gongzi Xie", so he didn't think that Wang Wuhu was telling him to drink. While kicking the puppy with his foot, he scolded angrily: "The dog is insulted, die!"
When Wang Wuhu heard this, he was furious, slapped the table and shouted: "You bastard, who the fuck are you scolding? People have already apologized sincerely, what the hell are you going to do?"
"I scolded the dog, what the do you have?" Zhi Huaqi scolded back.
Just when the others on the table were wondering and couldn't slow down, Xie Zhengzhong saw Wang Wuhu pick up a chair and want to smash it towards Zhihuaqi. He hurriedly reached out to protect Zhi Huaqi, and the chair slammed into his arm.
"Ouch......" Xie Zhengzhong screamed and fell to the ground. His arm was smashed and broken.
Shen Zhaojin, Li Dejin, Li Dalong and Guan Erlin hurriedly pulled the frame to avoid greater conflict and damage.
"It hurts me......" Xie Zhengzhong shouted to go for treatment. Admitted to the hospital Zhihuaqi......
Zhihuaqi shouted for Shen Zhaojin to put Wang Wuhu in the police station, and the lion opened his mouth and insisted on 200 silver dollars as compensation. He wished that Xie Zhengzhong would die early, and the house would be completely his Zhihuaqi.
Guan Erlin did his best to give full play to the passage of "success and retirement" in the "Tao Te Ching".
In the end, Shen Zhaojin proposed to take Xie Zhengzhong to the Tianzhong Clinic in Chunan Town for treatment, and Li Dalong would be responsible for all the expenses and care, and give another 20 silver dollars as a loss of work.
"That's great!" Zhi Huaqi was very happy in his heart, because he and his mother would not willingly take care of the injured Xie Zhengzhong at all.
......
The next day, Shen Zhaojin, on behalf of the police station, escorted Xie Zhengzhong to the Tianzhong Clinic in Jinan Town for treatment, and then returned to his home and said to Shen Yunshan: "Spring ploughing is about to start, what do you think Mr. Li's family has no ploughing cattle?"
"This," Shen Yunshan said, "a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." It's rare that he Li Dalong wants to regret it?"
"Great," Shen Zhaojin said, "I know you bought his cattle to help him tide over the difficulties." Now Mr. Li is embarrassed to let you suffer a loss, and wants to buy the ploughing cattle back. He also brought a gift to show his gratitude to you, haven't you already accepted it?"
"This ......" Shen Yunshan thought for a while and said, "I'm not a pawnshop, how can I regret a good deal?"
"You can't be greedy! If you don't return the ploughing cattle to Mr. Li, you will be unkind to the rich and take advantage of the fire to rob them! I think it is better to help people to get home, and do good deeds to the end. Shen Zhaojin said.
"Do you have to take back the ploughing cattle for him?" asked Shen Yunshan.
"Yes. Shen Zhaojin replied, "If Mr. Li's family doesn't plough cattle, I'm afraid life will be difficult." β
"However, the Li family is not having a good time, and plowing cattle is a trivial matter!" Shen Yunshan said.
"Then what is more important to you than plowing cattle?" asked Shen Zhaojin.
"His daughter's daughter is unwilling to marry someone else, this is the most troublesome thing for Mr. Li! You have to marry her!" Shen Yunshan said.
"What's wrong, Dada?" Shen Zhaojin was puzzled, "I was going to marry Delan, but you didn't agree, and now that I'm married, why did you ask me to marry him again?"
"At the beginning, you married the main house, if you marry a poor and talented girl, wouldn't you be too bad? At the same time, it also violated your desire to be a big man and a godmother. Now, you have married the daughter of Mr. Li's family as a partial house, and all aspects are reasonable in terms of face. Shen Yunshan said.
"No! it can't be like this!" Shen Zhaojin said, "This is too unfair to Delan!"
"What are you shouting?" Shen Yunshan asked, "If you don't want to marry her as a side room, don't pester her anymore!"
"Why?" Shen Zhaojin asked, "You don't let us become husband and wife, and you don't let us be friends?"
"Can't!" Shen Yunshan said in his heart, "You don't keep saying that you are friends." If you do this, my mother and you, as well as the father and daughter of the Li family, will not be able to raise our heads in front of relatives and friends. Son, you can't always think about yourself, you have to think more about others!"
"Yes! Be responsible. I don't marry Delan, it's a responsibility to my wife and family, and I live up to the feelings that Delan and I have had since I was a childhood sweetheart, which is also a responsibility to her. I dare to act boldly, without complaint or regret!" Shen Zhaojin got up and left after speaking.
"You, you're bent on doing your own thing, doing nonsense!" Shen Yunshan roared.
