Chapter 25: Hiding a Beauty in a Golden House
After hearing this, Pian Ye's hand holding the cigarette trembled. These days, many landlords, wealthy capitalists and the remnants of the Qing Dynasty are thinking about disposing of their houses and yards. Everyone is afraid that they will be confiscated, so it is better to exchange them for some money and hide them. It is not easy to buy a few yards.
"Comrade, do you really want to buy a yard?"
Lin Chen looked at the other party and nodded seriously: "Of course, I can give you a deposit of two dollars to show my sincerity, how about that?"
As Lin Chen spoke, he took out a deposit of two yuan and gave it to Pian Ye. After receiving the money, the other party truly believed that the other party wanted to buy a house.
"Okay, I'll go help you find it tonight. I don't even know your name yet, how can I contact you if I find the seller?"
Lin Chen knew that the other party had an idea: "My name is Lin Chen. I work as a resident doctor at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in Dongzhimen. If you find a suitable one, just wait for me here in two days. I will come to meet you to discuss it in detail. As long as it is a clean small yard and can be transferred, I don't care about the price."
The two quickly agreed on the details, and Lin Chen rode his bicycle back to the steel mill.
"If you want to hide your lover, you must have a golden house... and you can't have too little place, because there will be too many people trying to steal her away in the future."
After Lin Chen left, Pian Ye packed up his equipment and went home. Now that he had this big job, why would he set up a stall?
"The introduction fee for one yard is 10 yuan, so for five yards it's 50 yuan. I can't earn that much money in two months... Now I can have a good year."
……
The temperature had dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius in the evening, and Yan Bugui, as usual, waited at the gate for the residents to get off work...
If someone brings something back, Yan Bugui will have a good chat with the other person...
Lin Chen had a bicycle so he went back to the courtyard before the others.
"Xiaolin is off work!"
"Teacher Yan, you were such a heavy drinker yesterday..."
Yan Bugui knew that Lin Chen was teasing him, so he smiled awkwardly: "Old Yi's wine is still the best, and it's fun to sit with you guys, so I couldn't control myself..."
The two of them laughed, and Lin Chen pushed his bicycle into the backyard.
Lin Chen has a lot of space and can't take it home, so Yan Bugui can't take advantage of him. As for the others, it's none of his business...
……
Qin Huairu was cleaning up dinner. When she heard the sound of a bicycle, she knew her man was back. So she hurriedly prepared hot water for Lin Chen to wash his hands...
"I am back!"
Qin Huairu happily walked out of the kitchen carrying hot water.
"Wash quickly, are you frozen?"
Lin Chen took the basin: "It's okay, a little cold..."
In fact, Lin Chen was just talking. He probably wouldn’t feel that cold wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
Lin Chen followed her to the kitchen, and Qin Huairu told him what happened in the courtyard during the day.
"Today, Jia Zhang and Zhao Dadu's wife had a quarrel! She sat at the door holding her dead husband's portrait and cursed for more than an hour..."
Lin Chen couldn't help but glance towards the middle courtyard. Jia Zhang was also preparing dinner...
"Don't bother with her. If she dares to pick a fight with you, just hit her. I guess you might not be her match in a quarrel... but you should be about the same in a fight. I know your physical strength."
Lin Chen said this with a wicked smile...
Qin Huairu burst out laughing after hearing this: "How do you know I can't beat her in scolding? You don't go to the countryside often, do you? I... I'm also very good at scolding. I'm not afraid of her... Believe it or not, I'll bang on the basin and scold her."
Lin Chen laughed after hearing this. He had originally thought that it would be better to solve the problem physically rather than verbally. He had never expected that Qin Huairu would actually curse...
"It's better if you can curse or quarrel. I'm always worried that someone will bully you when I'm not at home! Remember, you must not only be able to curse but also to fight. Just protect your face and don't let it scratch you."
As Lin Chen spoke, he had already put his arms around the other person's slender waist. Qin Huairu looked at him and smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a shrew? I've only been married for a few days and I'm already scolding and beating others."
After Lin Chen hugged the man, he said, "If you behave yourself in this yard, you will be bullied. Just do your best. I don't want my wife to be bullied. What's there to be afraid of? I can subdue you on the kang."
After hearing this, Qin Huairu felt sweet in her heart and immediately broke away from the other party's teasing.
"This is the kitchen, don't move around. We'll talk about it tonight..."
……
The two were chatting and laughing in the kitchen when there was a knock on the door.
"I gonna go see!"
Qin Huairu nodded and continued to clean up.
When Lin Chen opened the door, he saw that it was Zhao Dadu.
"Is there anything wrong, Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Dadu hurriedly took out a cigarette and said, "Brother Lin, your sister-in-law has a bit of chest tightness. She was still lying in bed when I came back. Can you go and take a look at her?"
"Brother Zhao, you know I don't smoke. They are all old neighbors. I'll go and check for you."
"Hey, thanks, bro!"
Lin Chen thought that it was probably because of the quarrel! How many people can resist the Jia Zhang-style soul-calling quarrel method...
After saying hello to Qin Huairu, Lin Chen came to Zhao Daduzi's house.
Lin Chen just took a look and said: "Brother Zhao, sister-in-law is angry! I'll give her an injection and it will be fine in a few minutes, but she will get sick again if something happens in the future. This is a heart disease and there is no cure..."
When Zhao Dadu came home, he asked about his wife's condition and quarreled with Jia Zhang for the whole afternoon. In the end, he collapsed due to the anger...
"Thank you, Brother Lin. You can help your sister-in-law with the acupuncture first. I will go to settle the score with Jia Zhang in a while. It's too bullying."
At this time, Mrs. Zhao pulled her husband and shook her head.
"Forget it at night. What if she brings the dead man's portrait again..."
After hearing this, Zhao Dadu stamped his feet in anger.
"Mrs. Zhao, you need to pull your collar down a little to show your collarbone."
Zhao Dada looked at his wife with a big belly and hesitated: "Pull it down a little. It's better to be sick than to avoid doctors. Xiaolin is a doctor."
Lin Chen took out a pack of silver needles from his pocket and waited for the opponent's Zhongfu acupoint to be exposed before giving him acupuncture.
A few minutes later, Mrs. Zhao's pale complexion began to improve, and her coughing stopped. Lin Chen took back the silver needle...
"Okay, remember not to get angry next time. Your illness can be serious or minor. If you don't seek medical treatment in time, it can be fatal."
After expressing their gratitude, the couple sent Lin Chen out.
"We live in the same courtyard, so Brother Zhao shouldn't send her back to take care of his sister-in-law."
"Thank you, Brother Lin. I'll treat you to a drink after I get my salary."
Lin Chen walked back to the backyard and when passing by the Jia family's door, he found Jia Zhang was peeking behind the door.
There was no family in the entire hospital or even the entire alley that had not received treatment from Old Man Lin and Lin Chen. Even if everyone was guessing that Lin Chen had snatched Qin Huairu away, so what? Who would come out and accuse him? No one stood up to question it.
Lin Chen's strategy is that as long as they have no ill will towards him, he doesn't care. But if they want to plot against him or are full of hostility, then he can only be rude...
……
When Lin Chen returned home, the meal was already on the table.
"Is Mrs. Zhao really angry because of the quarrel?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.
"That's right, but the main reason is that she has some old heart problems... Let's not talk about this during the meal. You need to do your duty as a wife tonight."
After two days of rest, Qin Huairu is now full of fighting spirit. She must win the third competition tonight. Otherwise, she would be too stupid...
"You're annoying, why are you talking about this while eating!"
Lin Chen looked at her and laughed...
