"Yan Jiecheng, how about this, if you pay the money, I'll let you go?"
Manager Chen made a concession, and Yan Jiecheng looked embarrassed. He didn't have that much money at all. But under the current situation, he didn't dare to refute. Suddenly, he thought that his family lived in the Siheyuan, which was not far from here.
When Manager Chen saw that Yan Jiecheng was silent, he thought he was hesitating, so he winked at the security officer next to him. The security officer understood and escorted Yan Jiecheng to the courtyard to get money from the third uncle's house. Yan Jiecheng sighed helplessly.
I can only go home under the escort of the security officer.
At this moment, Liu Haizhong was humming a little tune and wandered over from the direction of the tavern. His face was red and smelled of alcohol, and he had obviously drunk a lot. When he saw Yan Jiecheng being escorted by the security officer,
During this scene, there was a flash of schadenfreude in his eyes. There had always been a rift between him and Yan Jiecheng, but now that he saw Yan Jiecheng in such embarrassment, he felt extremely happy.
"Oh!" Liu Haizhong shouted at the top of his voice, "Isn't this Yan Jiecheng? What's wrong? Is he being held captive? Haha, you have a day too!" As he spoke, he staggered closer and brought him
The drunken eyes were full of ridicule.
Yan Jiecheng glared at him fiercely and said angrily: "Liu Haizhong, don't make sarcastic comments here, I didn't do anything bad!"
However, Liu Haizhong ignored his rebuttal and continued to mock: "Didn't you do anything bad? How could you kid? Stop lying. You, Yan Jiecheng, have been around here for so long, how can you hide the good things you have done?"
Who is it? I see, you just got caught and got caught, this is called evil being punished!"
Yan Jiecheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He wanted to rush up and argue with Liu Haizhong, but was held tightly by the security guard. "Liu Haizhong, don't talk nonsense. Wait until I figure this out, and you will be happy!"
Liu Haizhong saw that Yan Jiecheng dared to talk back, and the anger in his heart suddenly arose. His brain, which was numbed by alcohol, only wanted to make Yan Jiecheng look embarrassed. So he left behind and was still being detained by the security officer.
Yan Jiecheng stood and ran towards the courtyard at a trot.
As soon as he entered the compound, he shouted like a loudspeaker: "It's not good! Come and see, everyone, that boy Yan Jiecheng has committed a crime! He is being escorted this way by the security officer." His voice
Echoed in the courtyard, breaking the original calm of the compound.
The third uncle was eating slowly in the room. When he heard the shout, the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground with a "clack". His face instantly turned pale, and it took him a long time to recover. He tremblingly
I stood up and held the table with my hands. I felt dizzy and almost fainted.
"This... this little bastard, what trouble did you bring to me again?" The third uncle muttered and walked outside the house, his heart full of worry and anger. When the neighbors in the yard heard Liu Haizhong's shouts, they also
Poke your head out of the house
The third uncle came to the yard with some staggering steps. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were full of anxiety and worry. When he saw Liu Haizhong yelling, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Haizhong's arm and asked eagerly: "Liang Haizhong"
Zhong, tell me quickly, what did he do to Jie Cheng? Don’t talk nonsense.”
There was a smug smile on the corner of Liu Haizhong's mouth, and a trace of malice flashed in his eyes. He deliberately raised his voice and said loudly: "Third uncle, I'm not talking nonsense. That boy Yan Jiecheng, he killed people and set fires! Look, you usually always
He said that he is good at educating children, but now he has taught such a thing, which is really embarrassing to our compound!"
When the other neighbors in the yard heard this, they were in an uproar. Everyone showed frightened expressions and whispered among themselves.
When the third uncle heard the words "murder and arson", he felt like the sky was about to collapse. He was so angry that he was shaking all over, pointing his finger in his bangs, and trembling his lips: "You... don't spit on others, how could my Jie Cheng do this?
Something like this happened!"
But Liu Haizhong shrugged, with a look of disdain on his face: "Third Master, I'm not lying. I saw this with my own eyes. The security officers are guarding him. He will be here soon. Just wait and see!"
After a while, Yan Jiecheng entered the courtyard under the escort of the security officer. When the third uncle saw his son's appearance, he immediately became furious.
"You little bastard, what good things have you done?" The third uncle turned red with anger, pointed at Yan Jiecheng with trembling fingers and cursed, "Our old Yan family has been completely disgraced by you!"
Yan Jiecheng hurriedly struggled to explain: "Dad, please don't scold me, it's not what you think. I was having a meal with my partner in Donglaishun today, but the waiter at the restaurant insisted that my partner broke their chair and asked me to pay for it.
.I just argued with them for a few words, and they escorted me back. It was really not a big deal."
The third uncle frowned, full of doubt: "Is it that simple? Then why did they make you like this? Did you get into a fight with someone again?"
Yan Jiecheng said anxiously: "Dad, I really didn't fight. It was the waiter who was unreasonable and stopped me from leaving. I have to go after my partner. Then their security officer came and made me like this."
.You have to believe me!”
The security officer stood up at this time and said to the third uncle seriously: "Comrade, what your son said is basically true. We received a report from the hotel waiter that he did not pay for the damage to the chair, so he did it.
He brought it over. However, after understanding it, the matter is still somewhat controversial. At present, it seems that the main issue is the amount of compensation."
After hearing the security officer's words, the third uncle's face turned from red to green. He turned his head suddenly and looked at Liu Haizhong with wide eyes. He walked up to Liu Haizhong in three steps and then pointed at his nose and cursed: "
Liu Haizhong, you bastard! How dare you spread rumors and cause trouble here, saying that my son committed murder and set fire? What are you worried about? If there is anything wrong with my son, I will never end it with you!"
The third uncle was so angry that he was shaking all over, and the veins on his forehead stood out: "You usually dislike me, but you can't frame my son like this! You are going to ruin his reputation and our family!"
"
Liu Haizhong saw that the third uncle was very angry, his face was terrifyingly gloomy, and the condemning eyes of the surrounding neighbors were shooting at him like sharp arrows, and he suddenly panicked. He scratched his head, his eyes flickered, trying to excuse his evil deeds.
Make excuses.
"Third uncle, don't be angry. I...I'm not joking." Liu Haizhong said with a smile, but the smile looked particularly embarrassing and hypocritical at this time, "I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but you didn't know
Would you take it so seriously? Don’t you know me well? I just love to make jokes."
The third uncle didn't take this trick. He glared angrily and took a step forward, almost touching his bangs face: "Are you kidding? Are you kidding like this? Can this kind of thing be used as a joke? Are you going to do it?
You're going to kill our family! If my son has any problem because of your joke, I will never let you go!"
Liu Haizhong saw that the third uncle was still angry. Although he was a little scared, he couldn't help but said in a mean voice: "Third uncle, even if Yan Jiecheng didn't kill anyone and set fire, he is not a good bird. If he didn't commit any crime, he would be protected by others.
Can the officer escort him back? Huh, don't protect him here." After saying that, he saw the third uncle's face became even more ugly, and the anger in his eyes seemed to devour him. He was shocked, knowing that he was again
Got into trouble.
So, before the third uncle had time to react, Liu Haizhong ran away. His body, which was still a little shaken after drinking, ran very fast at this moment, like a frightened rabbit, and disappeared in a flash.
The third uncle looked at Liu Haizhong's escape direction and stamped his feet angrily. His lips were trembling: "This bastard is so outrageous! Is there anyone who bullies others like him?" He cursed and breathed heavily.
The security officer frowned, tapped the baton in his hand impatiently, and raised his voice and said: "Third uncle, let's not waste time here. Please come out with fifteen yuan quickly so that I can deal with this matter."
After finishing it, go back to get off work. I have been struggling with this matter for long enough today."
The third uncle looked embarrassed. He spread his hands and said to the security officer with a grimace: "Comrade, I really don't have that much money. Do you think it can be less? Fifteen yuan is not a small sum for our family.
ah."
But the security officer looked serious, leaving no room for negotiation: "Third uncle, this is not a vegetable market where you can buy food and bargain. This is the compensation amount set by the hotel. We are just acting according to the regulations. If you don't take it, then we will
We can only take Yan Jiecheng back to the police station, and things will be even more troublesome then."
When the third uncle heard that his son was being taken to the police station, he immediately panicked.
At this moment of stalemate, Li Weidong's figure appeared at the door of the courtyard. He had just come back from outside, with a bit of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still bright. He saw many people gathered in the courtyard, the third uncle
With a face full of anxiety, Yan Jiecheng was escorted by the security officer, his brows furrowed slightly, and doubts welled up in his heart.
He walked up quickly and asked: "Third uncle, what's going on? Why are there so many people here?" The third uncle seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly pulled Li Weidong over and quickly explained the whole story.
Said it once
After listening to the third uncle, Li Weidong thought to himself. He and the third uncle have always gotten along well, and the third uncle is usually reasonable. Although he does look down on Yan Jiecheng's behavior, but at this moment, looking at the third uncle's
He looked anxious and helpless, and he couldn't bear it.
"Weidong, look at this...can you lend me fifteen yuan first? I really have no choice now." The third uncle looked at Li Weidong eagerly, his eyes full of expectation.
Li Weidong was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Third uncle, I have it here. We have been neighbors for so many years. If you have difficulties, I can't ignore it." With that, he took out fifteen yuan from his pocket and handed it over.
Third uncle.
The third uncle took the money, with tears in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Weidong, thank you so much! You have really helped our family a lot."
Li Weidong waved his hand: "Third uncle, don't say that. Let's settle this matter first."
The third uncle hurriedly turned around and handed the money to the security officer: "Comrade, here is the money for you. This time I really caused trouble for you." The security officer took the money, looked at Li Weidong and the third uncle, then looked at Yan Jiecheng, and said
: "Forget it this time, let this kid pay more attention in the future."
Li Weidong was anxious to go home, stood beside him and left.
The third uncle had a dark face and pulled Yan Jiecheng home. As soon as he entered the house, he closed the door with a bang, pointed at Yan Jiecheng and began to scold him: "You little bastard, you are really good! You know fifteen
piece
How much is the money? How long did it take me to save it, and you just paid it out. You usually dig so hard and are reluctant to spend even a dime, but today was good, and you lost ten cents in one fell swoop.
Five dollars.”
Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and muttered: "Dad, there's nothing we can do about it. The waiter and the hotel manager are deliberately trying to blackmail me."
"You still dare to talk back?" The third uncle was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room, "Even if they blackmail you, if you didn't go out to cause trouble, what would happen? Can't you let me worry less?"
Yan Jiecheng said nonchalantly: "Dad, don't worry about the fifteen yuan. This money was borrowed from Li Weidong, we don't have to pay it back."
When the third uncle heard this, his eyes widened: "No need to pay it back? What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you need to pay it back?"
Yan Jiecheng said plausibly: "Li Weidong is rich now. He won't care about the fifteen yuan. Besides, if it hadn't been for him today, I wouldn't have been taken to the police station. I just thought he was helping me."
Once.”
The third uncle was so angry that he slapped the table: "What nonsense are you talking about? If someone has money, it belongs to them. If we borrow it, we have to pay it back. We must have the backbone to be a man. We can't take advantage of someone else just because they have money. You kid, how can you get away with it?"
Are you getting worse by learning?"
Although the third uncle is stingy, he still has very upright views, otherwise he would not be picking up scraps in the original work.
The third aunt looked at the father and son arguing and blushed. She quickly came over to pull the third uncle and persuaded him: "Okay, old man, the money has been lost. What will you do if you get angry again? He didn't mean it, kid."
"Yes." After hearing what the third aunt said, the third uncle sighed heavily and sat down on the chair. His chest was still heaving violently, and he was obviously very angry.
The third aunt turned to look at Yan Jiecheng, with a bit of curiosity in her eyes, and asked: "Jiecheng, you just said that this happened because you went out to eat with your partner. Who is your partner?"
When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he immediately became energetic, with a proud smile on his face. He straightened his back and said in a show-off manner: "Mom, my partner's name is Zhang Li, she is really a beauty. She is very beautiful.
She is like a movie star, and her head-turning rate is high when she walks on the street. Besides, her parents are still leaders!"
When the third aunt heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Oh, is it true? That's really good! If you two can do it, you may have a good future in the future."
After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, the third uncle frowned. The reason was simple. He knew Yan Jiecheng too well. How could any serious girl like Yan Jiecheng?
"Jie Cheng, is the Zhang Li you are talking about reliable?"
