Although Chen Dasheng was a little tyrant, he hadn't really done anything bad; he was just quite domineering in the courtyard.

However, this has a lot to do with his father's position. He is the deputy director of the knitting factory, and I heard that he will be promoted to the permanent position soon.

His grandfather used to be the factory director, but he retired long ago. Because of this connection, no one in the several courtyards dared to mess with him.

It seems that Zhou Xiaojun won't dare to come to his door to ask for compensation after this fight; he might even have to come and apologize.

"I heard that Zhou Xiaojun had a sharp tongue and was showing off to others, which offended Chen Dasheng. I don't know which malicious person turned around and betrayed him."

Chen Dasheng had always been the one being flattered since he was a child, and he couldn't stand these kinds of criticisms. So he went to find Zhou Xiaojun, and no one knows what they said, but the two of them started fighting.

However, Chen Dashan was tall and strong, so in reality, Zhou Xiaojun was at a disadvantage.

Hua Xiangyun said, "Zhou Xiaojun is in the wrong, so he might really have to pay compensation."

With Zhou Xiaolan injured several times, the Zhou family is facing a difficult month.

Everyone knows that the Zhou family sends ten yuan to the village every month, not to mention that when they have a headache or fever, their hometown will come to ask for money again, so life is really not easy.

They were already carefully budgeting, and with these additional expenses, life was bound to be tough.

Wu Yanxin said, "I wonder if Zhou Xiaolan will go to school today. We walk this same road every day without any problems, so why is she falling down one after another?"

Hua Xiangyun: "...I don't know, maybe she was just walking carelessly."

Wu Yanxin felt she had to tiptoe with every step. "Let's walk slower then. I don't want to end up like Zhou Xiaolan, all disheveled. Besides, it's raining today. If I fall, I'll be covered in mud."

Hua Xiangyun looked down at her feet, not because she was afraid of falling, but because she was afraid of getting her pants dirty. "When I went out today, my grandma specifically told me to walk slowly."

"Really, my grandma told me the same thing when I left home, and I heard several other parents say the same thing." Children like them are used to falling and getting hurt, but yesterday Zhou Xiaolan got hurt every time she fell, which scared some of them.

When they arrived at the classroom, they learned that Zhou Xiaolan had asked someone to take leave.

She was the first student to ask for leave because of a few falls, and the whole school talked about her for a whole morning.

Huajia

Because of the rain and the fact that Zhou Xiaolan was injured, no one was there to take Hua Zhian to work today.

As it approached the end of the workday, for some reason, Xun Liangfen kept thinking about what Hua Xiangyun had said yesterday.

She quickly put the rice into the pot and said to Tian Guihua, "Mom, I think I should go pick up Zhi'an. I feel a little uneasy."

“Go ahead,” Tian Guihua said, having no objection since her daughter-in-law had taken the initiative to do it.

Hua Zhian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one at the gate.

In the past, people could say that Grandpa was just passing by fishing. But if he stayed here to watch the rain, he would definitely become the laughing stock of the factory.

Walking back with his colleagues who were going the same way, they chatted and laughed all the way. Lu Tao teased, "Zhi'an, why didn't your grandpa come to pick you up today?"

Hua Zhian would never admit it. "My grandfather came here to fish. I'm a grown man, how could I need him to come and pick me up?"

"But to be honest, Grandpa Hua is really lucky," Lu Tao said with a hint of envy. "They're both fishing in the same river, but he always manages to catch something, while others either come home empty-handed or catch only small fish."

"You don't have any fishing secrets at home, do you? We're colleagues, after all; don't keep things to yourself."

Hua Zhian, having heard countless inquiries from his colleagues, said with a helpless expression, "No, there really isn't. You know, so many people go fishing together, and my grandfather uses the same methods as everyone else. How could he possibly keep anything secret?"

My grandfather told me that others didn't believe him and insisted on swapping fishing gear with him, but in the end, the fish still swam onto my grandfather's hook. There was nothing they could do about it.

Many people have heard about this incident. Some people didn't believe in superstition and actually switched places with Huaguangzong, but the final result was the same, which made many people very frustrated.

This incident has attracted a lot of attention, and the river near their factory has become unusually lively recently.

At the next corner, Hua Zhian said goodbye to Lu Tao, who was traveling with him, and then walked into the alley. He saw someone walking towards him.

Hua Zhian stood along the corner of the wall to let the other person pass first, but unexpectedly the other person also stopped.

"Brother Hua," Zhou Xiaolan said, forcing a gentle smile despite the pain in her buttocks.

I don't know what's wrong with me these past few days, I keep tripping and falling while walking.

I can fall flat on the ground at home, so I mustered up the courage to go outside, only to fall flat on my backside.

Knowing that the Hua family wouldn't pick up Hua Zhian today because of the rain, this was her best opportunity, and she had to seize it no matter what.

"It's you," Hua Zhian said, feeling uneasy as he thought about the tight security his family had been maintaining these past few days, as well as the warnings they had given him.

"You go first," Hua Zhian said, leaning against the corner of the eaves as much as possible. The space he created was large enough for two more people to pass side by side.

Zhou Xiaolan stood still, staring intently at Hua Zhian, her eyes slowly reddening.

Hua Zhian felt flustered when he saw her like this. He hadn't done anything to Zhou Xiaolan, but her expression made it seem like he was the one who had bullied her.

Looking back at the road we came from, should we take a different route?

Because of his action, Zhou Xiaolan asked excitedly, "Brother Zhian, are you avoiding me?"

Hua Zhian, “…” It’s so obvious, is it necessary to ask?

Besides, we only met and chatted for a few minutes; we haven't really gotten to that point yet.

He's stuck here now; if he gets discovered, he's finished.

"No, we're all neighbors, why would I avoid you?"

Seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, Zhou Xiaolan simply said bluntly, "I don't believe you don't understand what I mean. As a girl, I've taken such the initiative, can't you give me some response?"

Hua Zhian was so frightened that he took several steps back, shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything, we just chatted for a few minutes."

Zhou Xiaolan, you can't say things like that. I have no feelings for you; I just see you as the girl next door.

Even if he had some vague ideas before, after these days of being lectured by his family, he dared not have any other thoughts and wished he could stay far away.

If he had to choose between Zhou Xiaolan and his family, he would definitely choose his family. After all, they weren't close enough to be close.

"Don't lie to me. You clearly have feelings for me too. Did your family talk badly about me behind my back?"
