Chapter 60 The Price of Peeping
It was already dark when Lin Chen went out, and there were few workers on the road.
Lin Chen looked around the bicycle shed and saw that there was no one around, so he put away the bicycle space. When he appeared again, he had returned to an empty corner of Nanluoguxiang...
When Lin Chen came out pushing his bicycle, Yi Zhonghai and his companions had just arrived at the entrance of the alley...Lin Chen followed behind.
"Today Xu Damao has a lot to lose. He learned how to fight just a few days after entering the factory."
"It's not a bad thing to get beaten up. With his size, he dared to fight against Hei Da Biao. He must have been knocked down by that punch!"
Lin Chen walked behind and listened to the discussions of the people in front...
At this time, Liu Haizhong heard the sound of a bicycle behind him and turned around hurriedly.
"Hey, Chief Lin, you caught up so quickly? We have been discussing all the way. How is Xu Damao doing after he was carried into the medical department?"
Everyone stopped and listened to Lin Chen's message.
"The man who was knocked unconscious is not seriously injured. He will wake up in just a few hits. He has been taken away by the security department for investigation. I don't think he will come back tonight!"
When everyone heard that he was rescued by Lin Chen, they started talking again.
Lin Chen didn't care about these and went home directly...
Qin Huairu had already prepared dinner and was waiting for Lin Chen to get off work.
"It's time for dinner. Soak your hands in hot water. It's so cold outside. I feel like it's going to snow tonight. Can you guess what I've prepared?"
Qin Huairu was very happy to see Lin Chen come back and felt like she had endless things to say.
Lin Chen looked at her like a diligent little bee, running from the kitchen to the main room several times.
"I can't guess for sure but it must be delicious. Let's eat and I'm hungry."
Qin Huairu looked at her man and smiled: "You must be starving! I prepared some hot pot dishes. Let's imitate Donglaishun and have a simple hot pot today. By the way, I'll cook two eggs for you tomorrow. You can eat one to fill your stomach when you're hungry."
There are a lot of boiled eggs in Lin Chen's space, but he usually doesn't eat them. There are also various kinds of braised beef, braised pork elbows, and braised pig's trotters... and he can't finish them all!
But when it came to boiled eggs he looked again in the direction of the steel mill dormitory.
She hadn’t even eaten Liang Ladi’s boiled eggs yet…
……
Just then, a chaotic wailing sound came from the backyard.
Qin Huairu was about to go out to check, but was stopped by Lin Chen.
"No need to go. It's not a fight. It's Xu Damao's mother's voice. Xu Damao just got into a fight with someone and was knocked unconscious and sent to the infirmary..."
Lin Chen told Qin Huairu the general idea again, but he did not tell her the part about suppressing his male hormones.
It is enough for Lin Chen to know this matter himself. There is no need to explain it to Qin Huairu in detail. The tools used in the crime are still there, but he just can't raise his head.
"That naughty kid deserves it. He's always been sneaky. I've hated him for a long time... He peeked at me when I was washing clothes once, and I scolded him and he ran away. I didn't dare to tell you because I was afraid you'd be angry, but today he finally got beaten up. He really deserved it."
After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Lin Chen immediately took her hand.
"You must tell me if this happens again, okay? No matter what happens, you can't be wronged and not tell me."
Qin Huairu nodded. She didn't tell him because she was afraid that Lin Chen would get angry and start a fight. She thought it was better to have less trouble than more, and she didn't want to lose a piece of meat by just looking at it, so she didn't tell Lin Chen.
Lin Chen added: "Even if the women in the courtyard bully you, you must tell me. If you hide it from me again in the future, I will be really angry."
When Qin Huairu heard that Lin Chen would be angry, she immediately held his hands with both hands.
"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll tell you if I encounter any problems next time... Let's eat!"
Lin Chen and his wife were eating delicious food in the house while they were chattering outside. Qin Huairu prepared cabbage and potato slices, wild mushrooms, bean curd and other hot pot dishes. The bottom of the pot was made from the soup stewed with half a chicken... The two of them ate around the stove until their bodies were hot.
Jia Zhang, who was watching the excitement in the crowd, sniffed hard like a dog and then looked in the direction of the Lin family.
"What did the couple secretly eat? It smells so good."
She ran to the door of Lin Chen's house, sniffed again, then lay down and looked inside through the crack of the door.
Lin Chen had been observing what was happening outside, but he didn't expect that Jia Zhang would come to him.
While Qin Huairu was pouring the hot water, Lin Chen poured the remaining chili oil from his small bowl of hot pot vegetables onto the crack of the main door...
Jia Zhang, who was staring and peeking, suddenly felt a burning sensation in her right eye.
Jia Zhang took a few steps back and fell down.
"Ah... help! My eyes hurt so much... help!"
The screams of Jia Zhang were far worse than those of Xu Damao's mother. The chili oil splashed into her eyes was not pleasant. Jia Zhang rolled on the ground in pain...
"Dongxu, please save me... please give me some clean water."
All the people who were watching the Xu family turned around and looked at Jia Zhang who was rolling on the ground. They didn't know what was going on! Jia Zhang, who was laughing the most at the Xu family's joke, fell down in the blink of an eye...
Xu Damao's mother was also confused. Just now, Jia Zhang was making fun of her family. How come he was rolling around in the blink of an eye?
"Dongxu, why are you still standing there? Go get some water, can't you hear me?"
Yi Zhonghai yelled again, and Jia Dongxu rushed into the nearest deaf old lady's house to get water.
Qin Huairu came back with some hot water and heard some noise outside, as if someone had changed.
"Lin Chen, why does it sound like Jia Zhang's crying now? What are they doing?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Don't worry about her while eating. She just peeked into our house and I..."
After hearing this, Qin Huairu chuckled and sat down to continue eating.
Jia Zhang in the courtyard was still desperately washing her eyes with clean water...
"Lin Chen and Qin Huairu, come out... I'm not done with you. You actually used pepper spray to plot against me..."
While washing, Jia Zhang shouted at Lin Chen and his wife.
Others were also confused after hearing this. The couple had never opened the door. You fell to the ground and cried, and now you say that they plotted against you - who would believe it?
At this time, Lin Chen opened the door and walked out.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, are you sick? Why are you calling me? I can't treat rabies. You'd better go to a big hospital."
Everyone laughed. The Xu family’s liveliness was not as exciting as the Jia family’s.
After washing several times, Jia Zhang still covered her right eye with her hand and dared not open it.
She pointed at Lin Chen and his wife, panting.
"You...you threw pepper spray in my eyes and now you're pretending nothing happened. You must pay the money."
Lin Chen walked forward a few steps and then stopped.
"Bah, you're crazy. My door was closed the whole time. I only opened it when I heard you howling. How could I have plotted against you?"
Not willing to be outdone, Jia Zhang ran straight to Lin Chen.
"It was you. I just smelled the fragrance, so I leaned over to see through the crack of your door, and you ambushed me."
Lin Chen snorted coldly: "So it was you who had bad intentions and wanted to steal my things, right? It's good that you admit it now. What were you looking at through the crack of my door? How come others are fine but you are the only one who is offended? You want to steal things and you don't allow me to fight back?"
