Silly Zhu's Moving: The Old Neighbor's Nightmare

Chapter 116 Rain Fight



Chapter 116 Rain Fight

"How could nothing be wrong? The yard is a mess. Don't you want to go back? Especially the middle and back yards, they smell awful."

Ugh, things are really tough at the school. I missed all my classes this morning, and after just one class this afternoon, I was called in by the police station for questioning.

Then Director Wang from the neighborhood office called me over for questioning. "We just happened to live nearby, so we came to check on things."

Old Yan looks listless now, and he, as the person in charge, is probably also implicated and ridiculed by his neighbors and school teachers.

Sha Zhu feigned doubt and said, "What? Director Wang scolded you. It shouldn't have anything to do with you, right? Two old men in the yard were unlucky. You weren't stripped naked and hung up along with them."

Old Yan said with a worried look, "It has nothing to do with me, but the police station wants to investigate."

Director Wang also asked me to write a self-criticism and to explain in detail everything that had happened in the hospital since Jia Dongxu's wedding.

"What kind of instructions can I give? This manager is driving everyone crazy!"

"Haha, Teacher Yan, look at you, you're talking nonsense! Since I told you to go back and write a self-criticism, why aren't you going back? You came all the way here, there must be something wrong," Sha Zhu laughed twice.

Yan Bugui was silent for a moment, then looked at Shazhu and said, "Didn't I go to the police station? I even saw your Uncle Yi."

Uncle Liu and Madam Jia, Old Yi asked me to inquire whether your father, He Daqing, has returned.

Sha Zhu was startled. Could it be that Yi Zhonghai had asked Yan Bugui to inquire about He Daqing because he suspected He Daqing was behind it? That was indeed a possibility.

Yi Zhonghai was certain he could grasp the personalities of everyone in the compound. A few months ago, rumors about He Daqing were circulating in the neighborhood.

He Daqing has been on the run for several months now, so it's not impossible that he might seek revenge.

Sha Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Yan, Uncle Yi sent you to ask me this."

Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "No, he just told me to ask the neighbors in the neighborhood."

I think it would be better to ask you. I asked Yi Zhonghai why he was inquiring about your father, but he didn't say.

"Pillar, do you think Old Yi might be possessed, believing your father did it?"

"How was I supposed to know? Uncle Yi is really unlucky. Not only did he break his arm, but he was also stripped naked and hung from a tree."

I was thinking of going to visit Uncle Yi and Uncle Liu, since they're old neighbors, but after hearing what you said, I'm too lazy to go see them.

Every time something goes wrong, it's linked to spies. If I go to see them, I'll be criticized.

Besides, my dad has been gone for two or three months and hasn't come back even once.

A few days ago, I received a letter that was delivered to the guardhouse of the steel rolling mill, asking if my house was finished.

"Have you moved? They said it's getting cold and I should buy a couple more blankets. They said they'd send me money if I ran out. Look, isn't this the letter? I read it and then tucked it inside my book."

As he spoke, Sha Zhu picked up a book from the living room table and handed the envelope inside to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui took the envelope, glanced at the front, but didn't open it. Instead, he picked up a book from the table and started reading. "Postpartum care for sows, Zhuzi, are you looking at this book?"

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and said to Yan Laokou, "Do you think I can understand this? I don't raise pigs."

I originally picked it up from a junkyard to use as kindling, but since this book looks pretty new, I decided to use it to hold envelopes.

Teacher Yan stuffed the letter back into the book, casually placed the book on the table, and then lit a fire by the fireplace.

"Your house is so warm. You've lit a fire so early and don't seem to mind using so much firewood. Unlike our house, we don't light a fire in the house unless it's snowing."

"How about I call you Old Man Yan? Aunt Yan, oh no, I should call you Aunt Yan. Aunt Yan is pregnant now, right? Be careful not to let Aunt Yan get too cold, or the baby in her belly might not survive."

"Hey, you silly Zhu, I think your mouth is getting stinky and foul. You're all talking nonsense. Goodbye, no need to see me off."

Yan Bugui stopped roasting the fire, turned around, lifted the curtain, and left Sha Zhu's house.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu called out from behind, "Old Yan, I won't see you off then. Come visit often when you have time."

As darkness fell, the dozen or so children in the house were taken home by their parents who had come looking for them.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the end of 51. The factory closed for the holidays early.

That day, Sha Zhu was making mutton bone soup at home when suddenly, he heard someone calling his name from outside the courtyard gate.

"Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi, come out quickly! Your sister is fighting again!"

Your sister beat him up again and he ended up in the hospital. You should go see her.

The adults won't let your sister leave, and several of us neighbors are protecting her. They probably won't be able to stop her later.

Just then, Da Niu's wife, who had only been married to him for a few days, ran in and grabbed Sha Zhu's clothes, trying to pull him outside.

Sha Zhu got a headache as soon as he heard that his sister had beaten someone up and sent them to the hospital again. Ever since Yu Shui started winter vacation...

He didn't want to keep going to the steel mill with Sha Zhu, so he stayed home and played with the other kids from the neighborhood.

Sha Zhu even asked his neighbors to check on his house when they had time, to make sure the kids didn't set it on fire.

Unexpectedly, these children got bored playing at home and started running around Nanluoguxiang in groups, which caused a problem.

There are always a few kids who have conflicts with children from other alleys, and when they run into them on their turf...

A few words can easily escalate into a fight; everyone swarms in, the fight's over, and then they run away.

Today it's a fight in Yu'er Hutong, tomorrow it's a fight near Heizhima Hutong Elementary School.

Last time, he beat up a kid from Beiluoguxiang so badly that he had to go to the hospital. Sha Zhu even went to the hospital to check on him and paid the kid five or six yuan in compensation.

These kids don't know their own strength when they fight, especially Yu Shui. Don't underestimate him just because he's young; he likes to hit hard.

He's beaten people up so badly they've been hospitalized two or three times already, and Sha Zhu keeps getting inexplicably harassed and asked for medical bills.

Sha Zhu was starting to regret giving Yu Shui that magical water from the space, since the little girl was becoming more and more agile.

Because of his good skills, he always rushes to the front. Now, he's only eight years old after the New Year, and he's already getting into fights with students who are four or five years old.

The young woman tugging at Sha Zhu's clothes was named Xiao Cui; she had a rather carefree personality.

She became familiar with the neighbors in the neighborhood shortly after marrying Hu Daniu.

I especially love these kids who like to run around everywhere. Occasionally, they'll follow Aunt Hu and come to Sha Zhu's house when he's at work.

In just a few days, he became familiar with Sha Zhu.

Following Da Niu's wife outside the alley, the two groups of people were clearly facing each other.

They probably stopped arguing because they saw that the neighborhood committee staff were there.

Just then, Aunt Hu, who was waiting for Sha Zhu to come over, quickly stepped forward, grabbed him, and explained the situation.

At this moment, Yu Shui was hiding behind Li Jianguo, the neighborhood committee member, peeking out with her little head and looking at her brother without any fear.
