Zhou Wenzhong thought for more than 2 hours, but he couldn't think of any good solution until his stomach growled.
"well…"
Pushing open the courtyard door and walking to the Yi family room in the middle courtyard, I saw through the glass an aunt wearing a black floral thin cotton-padded jacket, playing with the dried vegetables in the basin alone in the main room.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Who?"
"Dong dong dong..."
When the aunt opened the door and saw Zhou Wenzhong, she was too frightened to speak.
"Don't you invite me to sit in the house? Some people really miss you."
The aunt recalled the old lady's instructions this morning and pretended to be calm as she let Zhou Wenzhong into the house.
Zhou Wenzhong stared into her eyes from beginning to end, sitting on the chair and playing with the porcelain bowl in his hand.
"What brings you here?"
"Nothing else, I just want to come and see you. We have something to say clearly, right?"
The aunt lowered her head and kneaded the dried vegetables, but did not answer the question.
"It seems that you have made up your mind. In this case, I won't say anything."
"squeak…"
Zhou Wenzhong directly opened the door and walked out. The aunt in the room lowered her head and kneaded the dried vegetables for about 15 minutes. She didn't care until the dried vegetables turned into fillings. Her heart was pounding restlessly. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she felt. She opened the door in the main room.
The door went straight to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard.
"Old lady, Zhou Wenzhong came to see me just now."
The deaf old lady nodded without changing her expression.
"He said he had to explain something clearly. Do you think he knew what we did?"
"Don't scare yourself, just do whatever you need to do to calm down. If you can't calm down, then you can stay in my room all day. It'll be fine in a while. Anyway, this bad guy has to go to work during the day, so he won't be able to do anything."
Time is watching you."
"Oh! I feel relieved when you say that. I'll take those dried vegetables to your house and soak them. The two of us can work quickly while talking."
"go Go."
The aunt's heart finally returned to her stomach, she opened the door and walked towards her home.
Zhou Wenzhong, who heard the sound of the door opening, walked out from the corridor next door to the deaf old lady's house, covering his mouth and nose, and watched the eldest lady walking away.
"Although I didn't hear your conversation, there must be something wrong with you two. Yue... the smell in the courtyard is really bad."
Zhou Wenzhong quickened his pace and walked to the middle courtyard. Before he could reach Yi's house to eavesdrop, he happened to see the eldest mother walking out of the door holding an enamel basin in her hands.
It wasn't until the sound of Auntie's footsteps had gone away that Zhou Wenzhong walked out from under the wall of Jia's house. The more he couldn't figure it out, the angrier he felt. It was like there was an evil fire in his heart. As soon as he walked to the front yard, far away
Then he saw the two brothers of the Yan family waiting for him.
"Zhou Wenzhong, where have you gone?"
"Snapped!"
Zhou Wenzhong's slap spread out in a semicircle, and he slapped Yan Jiefang on the face with all his strength, causing Yan Jiefang to lose his mind temporarily. He raised his foot and kicked 10-year-old Yan Jiekuang to the ground, and grabbed Yan Jiefang.
His hair was dragged towards the door of Yan's house.
"Let me go!"
"Snapped!"
"Zhou Wenzhong, let go of my brother!"
"Snapped!"
"Zhou Wenzhong, why are you so crazy? Let go! Let go!"
Zhou Wenzhong raised his hand and pointed at the households watching the excitement and said, "What's your business here? Anyone who wants to pay off the debt for the Yan family should take a step forward."
Qin Huairu was shoveling manure in the front yard. She heard the noise and ran over to watch the fun. When she saw Zhou Wenzhong beating someone, her sense of justice made her unable to help but say, "I'll pay you back the money. Why are you beating him?"
"
"You're here to pay back the money, right?"
"I didn't say that."
"Then get the hell out of here. Don't think that I won't hit you because you're a woman. Before I hit someone, I like to hit those who break up fights or those who start fights."
"you!"
"Hey, you still dare to point fingers at me? What the hell..."
When Qin Huairu saw Zhou Wenzhong slap her face, it was definitely not a frightening move! She quickly put down the iron and hid behind, picked up Xiaodang who was crying in fear on the ground and ran to the middle courtyard.
"Who else wants to pay off this money for Yan Bugui? Just give me 100 yuan, and I will give you the Yan family's IOU. Is it you? Is it you? How many of you will pay back? Or you
Want to repay the money for the Yan family?"
The resident who was pointed at by Zhou Wenzhong quickly took a step back, recalling that Zhou Wenzhong had been in a labor camp before. People were angry just now, but now they all stopped and fell into silence. Only Yan Jiefang was struggling on the ground, trying to break Zhou off.
Wen Zhong grabbed the hand of his hair.
"I'm fucking asking you to speak disrespectfully to me. Bang! Bang!"
In addition to the few slaps just now, Yan Jiefang sat on the ground with blood on the corner of his mouth and did not dare to move anymore. Yan Jiekuang, who had been frightened for a long time, was in a similar situation to his brother. He was lying on the ground and did not dare to get up for fear of causing Zhou Wenzhong's anger again.
focus on.
"It's reasonable not to pay the money I owe, right? If you want to go to the police station, you can go to the police station. I want to see if the police can recover the money I owe."
"Yan Laoxi, you ladies, hurry up and open the door for me! If you don't open the door, I'll kick you!"
Zhou Wenzhong didn't wait for the people in the room to respond. No one came out after making such a big noise just now. He obviously wanted to hide from him, so he directly raised his foot to the crack of the door and kicked it down.
"Bang!"
"Ouch...hiss..."
"hiss…"
There were two gasps of air. The first one was from Yan Bugui, who was eavesdropping behind the door, and was hit in the face by the wooden door that was kicked open. The other was from Zhou Wenzhong, whose ankle was hurt when he kicked the door open.
"Yan Laoxi, hurry up and pay me back!"
Yan Bugui got up from the ground, put on his glasses, walked to the door and cupped his hands in front of the big guy.
"Everyone, please leave, this is mine and Xiao Zhou's..."
"Snapped!"
Zhou Wenzhong slapped Yan Bugui on the back of his head. The glasses he had just put on were now hanging on Yan Bugui's ears.
"What did you call me? Xiao Zhou? You are such a bad guy that you dare to call me Xiao Zhou?"
Yan Bugui swallowed and put on his glasses again, and began to watch the excitement at the door to disperse the neighbors. Then he quickly closed the door.
"Comrade Zhou Wenzhong, didn't we agree last night? I will let my two sons help you work."
"Help? Why don't I remember this?"
"We were talking about this right at the door of your courtyard."
"Who can prove it?"
"I...no one saw it."
"Then it's settled. You wrote this IOU, and it's overdue for more than a week. Don't talk nonsense to me anymore. Pay it back quickly!"
"But didn't you say last night that you wanted me to pay back the money within a year?"
"Who can prove it?"
"No...no one."
"Isn't this the end?"
At this time, Zhou Wenzhong let go of Yan Jiefang's hair, wiped it on Yan Bugui's cotton-padded jacket, wiped the hair oil off his hands, and began to wander around the Yan family hall.
"Yan Laoxi, as the saying goes, it's not difficult to borrow money and borrow it again. The same principle applies to repaying money, no more, no less, right? You don't even want to pay back 100 yuan! Today is postponed to tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the day after tomorrow. What I, Zhou Wenzhong, hate the most is dishonest people like you. If I take a step back, you want to take a step forward. Besides, what does it have to do with me whether you have money or not?"
"I really don't have any at home."
"Then you mean to act like a bachelor."
Before Yan Bugui could explain, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Dong dong dong... open the door, open the door! People in the house should open the door quickly!"
Yan Bugui heard the strange man's voice and opened the door to let the police officer and his lover into the house.
Yang Ruihua walked into the room and pointed at Zhou Wenzhong's face and said: "Comrade Public Security, this is the guy who beats people!"
"It's you, Zhou Wenzhong."
"Who is it? It turns out to be Comrade Shen from the Hongxing Police Station."
Yang Ruihua's heart suddenly skipped a beat. It's over! These two people know each other.
"Zhou Wenzhong, please don't try to get close to me. Tell me what's going on?"
Officer Shen pointed at the corner of Yan Jiefang's mouth and then pointed at the footprints on Yan Jiekuang's clothes.
"I did it."
"You are quite a man, you don't hide it at all."
"Hey! Who dares to tell lies in front of you? Director Zhang has repeatedly taught me to be honest. I, Zhou Wenzhong, am known for admitting my mistakes and never telling lies."
Officer Shen turned around and patted the clothes of the two Yan brothers a few times, and then checked the wooden door of the Yan family's hall that had been kicked open.
"Tell me, what do you two mean?"
Yan Jiefang shouted: "Comrade Public Security, arrest him!"
"Shut up! Yang Ruihua quickly takes your two sons into the house. Hurry!"
Yang Ruihua did not dare to refute his man's arrangement, and it was best to leave the mess to him at this time, so as not to complain later. He pulled the two brothers into the bedroom and closed the door.
"Now tell me what you two want to do."
Zhou Wenzhong was the first to express his position: "I paid for the medical expenses of the two brothers, but I only recognize the bill issued by the hospital. This wooden door will be repaired if it needs to be repaired, and replaced if it needs to be replaced. I also recognize the bill issued by the carpenter. I will pay for it." It's my fault, and your company will punish you if you deserve it. If their family dares to falsely report their accounts, I will sue them for extortion."
"Well! Zhou Wenzhong, your attitude is not bad, Yan Bugui, what do you mean?"
"I...I...just do what he said."
"Then this matter will be much easier to handle. You two can discuss it and solve it by yourselves. Yan Bugui will take your son to see a doctor in a while, and after taking the medicine, give him the list. But Zhou Wenzhong, you are beating someone up. That’s not right! Write a 1,000-word examination report and submit it to the office. You will also be fined 1 yuan to remember it. Are there any problems?”
"There is a small problem."
Public Security Shen looked at Zhou Wenzhong.
"I, Zhou Wenzhong, can't read very well, so I can't write down this examination."
"If you don't know how to write, go find someone to ask! When the writing is clear, you can hand in the written examination."
"clear."
"Yan Bugui, do you have anything else to say?"
"No."
Officer Shen took the 1 yuan handed over by Zhou Wenzhong and put it into his pocket. He picked up the record book and pointed at Zhou Wenzhong and said, "Stop beating people!"
"Oh, don't worry. But I still have a little problem here that I hope the government can solve for me."
"explain."
"You see, this is the 100 yuan IOU that Yan Bugui wrote to me before, but now he has not paid back the money for so long. My life is very tight now, and I want to seek help from the government and let him return the money to me."
After checking the IOU, Public Security Shen nodded and asked Yan Bugui: "Is this IOU written by you? And the fingerprint on it is also yours, right?"
"yes."
"Then stop talking nonsense and pay back the money quickly. It's his fault for hitting people. If you owe a debt, you should pay it back."
Yan Bugui squatted on the ground and covered his head and said, "But our family has no money!"
"Then aren't you just being a rogue? You have spent all the money, but you don't want to pay it back. How can there be such a truth in the world?"
"I...I can pay him back a little every month, okay?"
Zhou Wenzhong took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and said, "No. Just do whatever you have to do about this matter. I hate squeezing out toothpaste the most."
Yan Bugui squatted on the ground and looked at Mr. Shen.
"It's useless to look at me. You have a very serious moral problem. It is natural to pay back debts. You should discuss it yourself. If it doesn't work, go to the leader of the subdistrict office for an idea. But if you are raped by Zhou Wenzhong If you take it to court, we will have to talk about you. Do you understand?"
"Oh, I understand."
"Yan Bugui, please write a 3,000-word examination and hand it in. Do you have any questions?"
"No."
Public Security Officer Shen pointed at the two of them with his notebook and said: "Don't make trouble for me! I won't be so easy to talk to next time! We are all neighbors living in the same yard, what can't we say to each other? If you don't see me when you lower your head, you can see me when you raise your head. The neighborhood friendship is there."
"squeak…"
The wooden door of the main room was opened again, Officer Shen left with his hands behind his back, and Zhou Wenzhong closed the door behind him.
