Chapter 46 Why do women have to make things difficult for other women?
On the way back to the courtyard house, Shen Zhishou stopped by a small black market and exchanged ten catties of cotton coupons and thirty feet of cloth coupons.
I said I was going to check out the black market, so I'm definitely going to go.
Although Sun Hu and his men have disappeared without a trace, Shen Zhishou still wants to play it safe for the sake of safety.
This is a traditional courtyard house!
When someone really needs to investigate something, this is absolutely invaluable.
Shen Zhishou didn't want to be caught off guard and suffer a setback.
He's living a very comfortable life now and has no intention of going out to start any business.
Life is too short to have fun.
He wandered around the courtyard, climbed over the wall, and gently knocked on his own door, which was quickly opened.
Yu Li couldn't fall asleep after Shen Zhishou left.
Although she knew her man was quite capable, she still felt a deep sense of longing for him.
Seeing Shen Zhishou return, Yu Li finally felt relieved.
The two returned to bed and quickly fell asleep.
Waking up to the sound of his alarm clock the next day, Shen Zhishou went to the central courtyard to wash up and fetch water, just like he always did.
Qin Huairu was still washing clothes, and Sha Zhu was brushing his teeth.
The difference is that today, there is an extra Jia Dongxu in front of this tap.
Shen Zhishou greeted the three of them in a very ordinary manner.
Jia Dongxu quickly finished washing up and returned to the Jia family home. As for Qin Huairu, she was still washing clothes with cold tap water. Shen Zhishou glanced at her and knew that Qin Huairu's hands must be quite cold at the moment.
But what does this have to do with him?
In fact, Shen Zhishou also couldn't understand Qin Huairu. Did the clothes really have to be washed so early in the morning?
Is it too late once the sun rises and the temperature increases?
Back in the back room, Shen Zhishou casually asked Yu Li about it.
Upon hearing Shen Zhishou's question, Yu Li sighed slightly and said, "At first, Qin Huairu waited for the sun to come out and the temperature to rise before washing, but her mother-in-law kept nagging her, from morning till night!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhishou understood.
Qin Huairu is being tormented by Jia Zhangshi!
However, faced with the torment from Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu chose to compromise.
"Tell me, how could Jia Dongxu's mother be so wicked?"
"They're both women, why can't she treat Qin Huairu better?"
Yu Li expressed her incomprehension.
"After years of being a daughter-in-law, she's finally become a mother-in-law; having gotten soaked in the rain herself, how could she possibly hold an umbrella for someone else?"
"This is human nature!"
Shen Zhishou answered calmly.
It's often said that women shouldn't make things difficult for each other.
But the truth is, if women don't make things difficult for other women, why would they make things difficult for men?
Moreover, Shen Zhishou had always been taught the idea that if he had been rained on, he should hold an umbrella for others when he was able to.
But the reality is not like that at all.
Just like Sun Hu said, good people are honest people, and it's only right that they get bullied.
Why is it the right thing to do?
Because honest people always listen to advice, and those who listen to advice are kind.
When kind people encounter injustice, their first thought is not to resist, but to back down.
Some people say this is the principle of happiness yielding!
But is that really the case?
It's just a double-edged sword!
Sometimes yielding can preserve happiness, but sometimes it's the beginning of falling into an abyss.
No one can predict the future!
Every decision is an unknown.
Shen Zhishou also had no idea what his future held.
Although he knows the general trend of the times, how much does the general trend of the times have to do with his future?
Whether he's there or not, the sun will still rise.
After breakfast, Shen Zhishou went out to the steel rolling mill.
Not long after he went out, he saw Xu Damao.
Xu Damao didn't walk, but rode a bicycle.
"Brother Xu, did you buy a car?"
Shen Zhishou knew that Xu Damao did not own a bicycle.
Although he would occasionally push his bicycle back to the courtyard house, it was a bicycle from the steel mill, provided by the factory for him to show movies in the countryside.
If there were no film screening duties, the bicycle would have to be left at the steel mill; he couldn't just ride it around as he pleased.
In fact, this incident alone shows that Xu Damao is not that great.
If he's really that capable, then the bicycle provided for his job is most likely something he can freely use.
However, it did not.
"Where could that be?"
"These days, bicycle tickets are incredibly hard to come by. This is my dad's bike. I stayed at my parents' place yesterday, and I only got to ride it today because I was in a rush!"
"Get in, I'll give you a ride!"
Xu Damao greeted them with great enthusiasm.
Shen Zhishou smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No, this car is too small, it's not suitable!"
Although Xu Damao's bicycle was a 28-inch model, Shen Zhishou still felt that the bicycle was a bit small.
Most importantly, the sight of two grown men on a bicycle seemed a bit odd to Shen Zhishou.
"That car is quite big!"
"A 28-inch lever!"
Xu Damao expressed his dissatisfaction with the reason given for the refusal.
Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you go first, I'll walk!"
After much persuasion, Shen Zhishou finally managed to see off the enthusiastic Xu Damao.
Although Xu Damao is a fickle and truly despicable person, when he has something in mind for someone, he can be incredibly enthusiastic and dedicated.
Unfortunately, the two were ultimately not on the same path.
Xu Damao later reported the Lou family and divorced Lou Xiao'e. Some people said it was to protect himself, but in Shen Zhishou's view, Xu Damao was simply seeking to avoid harm and gain benefits. In addition, he felt that Lou Xiao'e could not have children and was eager to find another woman to give him a son.
Unfortunately, it wasn't until many years later that he realized he was the one who couldn't have children!
He, Xu Damao, is the sole heir to the last remaining branch of an old man in the courtyard house!
……
While Shen Zhishou was diligently practicing his fitter skills at the steel rolling mill, something strange was amiss around the train station square.
None of the thieves who usually frequent this area showed up today.
This is undoubtedly very unusual.
Upon receiving the news, Xiong Dahai immediately arranged for people to investigate the situation, and even went to check around the courtyard where Sun Hu lived.
As a result, Sun Hu's courtyard was quiet, and the gate, which was always open, was closed today.
Something's not right!
From the moment Xiong Dahai arrived at the train station police station, even in wind and rain, Sun Hu's thieves would always come out.
"Boss, isn't it a good thing that these thieves are gone?"
"What a load of bull!"
Xiong Dahai glared at the young policeman who had spoken and explained, "Something unusual must be going on!"
"These bastards make their living off this. If they suddenly stop doing this, what do you think they can do?"
"Quickly, gather some men and go check on Sun Hu's place!"
"Those bastards better not cause any trouble, or I'll risk everything and teach them a lesson they won't forget!"
Xiong Dahai, who had long been impatient with Sun Hu and his gang, had no choice but to compromise time and time again. Over time, and with each instance, all he had left was his verbal skills.
After all, once the bottom line is lowered, it will keep being lowered until there is no bottom at all!
