Aqing grabbed a brick and smashed it directly against Lin Hu's door.
With a "bang".
The iron gate was dented from being smashed.
Lin Hu and his wife opened the door.
Aqing took off running.
Wu An had already run away.
They've gone far away.
Ah Qing shouted, "Brother, this isn't enough!"
"What can we do if everyone owes money and can't pay it back?"
Wu An smiled and said, "It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet."
"They'll have their bad time."
"Go home and have dinner first."
"Oh," Aqing asked, "Are we going out to sea again this afternoon?"
Wu An looked towards the sea: "We're not going to go out to sea anymore, are we?"
"Let's go fishing."
Aqing nodded; naturally, he had no objections.
Back home.
Wu Ping helped carry a case of beer into the house, and then threw a few bottles into the freshly drawn well water. Even though it was midday, the well water was ice-cold.
Throwing beer and watermelon in is better than putting them in the refrigerator to chill.
Wu Yingwei asked, "Why did it take so long?"
Wu An washed his hands with well water and casually said, "I went to Lin Hu's house and remembered that Lin Hu broke the engine and hasn't paid for it yet."
Wu Yingwei's face darkened: "We were turned away?"
Wu An: "No, but Lin Hu also said he had no money, just like Chen Long, he wanted to renege on his debt."
Wu Ping interjected, "Then go sue them."
"Make sure the whole village knows, don't give them any face!"
"Dad, you can put some pressure on Lin Hu then."
Wu Yingwei nodded.
Wu An smiled and said, "That's one way."
If we follow what my brother said, we'll definitely win every time we sue, but the process will take too long. Most importantly, it won't be enough to vent our anger. What if he still refuses to pay us back in the end?
Enforcement?
To be honest, it's quite difficult to do in the village.
When Mei Yueqin finished cooking and came out, she learned that Lin Hu was also going to renege on his debt. She looked hesitant, but what she really wanted to say was to ask Wu Yingwei to think of a solution.
If Wu Yingwei is willing, he will definitely find a way to force Lin Hu to admit his mistake.
Wu Yingwei has worked in the village for decades, and it wasn't for nothing.
But...
She knew who Wu Yingwei was, and so did everyone else, including Lin Hu, which is why he dared to renege on his debt so brazenly!
That's so unfair!
Mei Yueqin was sensible and ultimately kept quiet. Otherwise, if she had spoken up, not only would things not have gone smoothly, but it would have also upset her father-in-law so much that he wouldn't even be able to eat properly.
Wu Ping also looked indignant.
Wu Yingwei, as always, drank and ate without saying a word.
On the contrary, it was Wu An.
Eat and drink as you please, and say something to liven things up.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was perfectly fine.
We've eaten.
Wu An put down his bowl and chopsticks. Mei Yueqin told him to leave them there, and he didn't stand on ceremony. Seeing that Wu Ping had nothing to do at home, he called out to go out together.
As soon as we arrived at the old house, Aqing also arrived.
The three of them, carrying buckets and fishing gear, headed straight for the rocky beach.
This is the village's top choice for fishing.
When the three arrived, some people were already fishing. Fishing is different from beachcombing; you can fish at any time, and the tides don't have much of an impact. In fact, they can even push schools of fish to the shore.
The three of them found a large rock and had just climbed up when they heard a voice calling out, "Ah An, if something happens, we're not going out to sea?"
When Wu An saw that it was Lin Bin, he replied, "If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth."
Lin Bin seemed to have just arrived as well, and was packing up his fishing gear. Hearing what he said, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Hey, I was just kidding. Why are you getting so worked up?"
"You're quite the celebrity in the village now."
"They made money to buy a fishing boat, which made everyone incredibly envious."
"If you ask me, it's not that you're lucky enough to make money, but that you're really impressive because you managed to get Chen Long and Lin Hu arrested."
Wu An glanced at him indifferently. Praise him?
The sun rose in the west.
He definitely wasn't holding back a fart.
He didn't deny that he called the police on behalf of Chen Long, and that he did call the police on behalf of Guang Liangjun when he caused trouble for Lin Hu and they got into a fight at the village committee gate.
It's true that he put it in there.
In fact, it was indeed something he had planned.
Lin Bin changed the subject and asked, "I heard they all have to pay compensation. Have you received the money?"
Wu An shook his head.
Lin Bin immediately laughed: "You haven't gotten it yet?"
"I reckon you're unlikely to get your money back."
"You offended someone and didn't get any benefit from it. Aren't you upset?"
Wu An was too lazy to pay him any attention.
All that buildup was just a setup, waiting for him all along.
You're gloating, aren't you?
OK.
Let's see who has the last laugh.
Lin Bin maliciously urged, "You have to go ask for it, go to their door and ask for it, be shameless and persistent, maybe you'll annoy them and they'll give you some."
Wu An didn't say anything, but A Qing started cursing: "Lin Bin, you bastard, shut up!"
"Do you think my brother is a beggar?"
"My brother said that Chen Long and Lin Hu should come to our door to apologize and give us money!"
He can curse.
Why?
Aqing has a high seniority in the village, which is thanks to the fact that Aqing's ancestors were always very poor, and for many generations they were only sons, and they didn't get married until they were over thirty.
This delay, passed down through generations, meant that by the time it came to Aqing's generation, Lin Bin had to call Aqing "Grandpa".
certainly.
That's how seniority is calculated, and Lin Bin has never addressed him that way.
In a village with multiple surnames, things aren't so particular.
Besides, it's not like before; nobody cares about seniority anymore.
Lin Bin was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Are you waiting for those two to come knocking on our door to apologize and offer money?"
"IMHO."
"You might as well wait for a sow to fly; that's a much better chance."
Aqing cursed and swore.
Wu Ping looked at Wu An and said, "An, don't pay attention to him. Lin Bin is deliberately stirring things up so that you'll go ask for money and then he can laugh at us."
Wu An nodded.
Lin Bin's little schemes were written all over his face; without Lin Hu, all he had left was this little bit of cleverness.
Lin Hu's situation is truly tragic.
Thinking about it this way, he realized that by using this matter, he was actually helping Lin Hu. In any case, it would let Lin Hu know that he was being cheated on.
He did not ask for Lin Hu's gratitude.
We must resolutely uphold the principle of doing good deeds anonymously.
Wu An didn't respond, and Lin Bin didn't continue talking either.
During this period, Wu An became very famous, transforming from a scoundrel into a highly respected "good young man." He was quite displeased with this, and people often compared him to Wu An, saying that he also fished every day, so why hadn't he made a fortune yet?
He felt much better after making Wu An suffer today.
Just as he was feeling pleased, he saw Wu Angang cast his line and, not long after, the rod tip dipped and he hooked a fish.
The smile on his face froze instantly.
Depend on!
How did this kid catch a fish so quickly?
Under his envious gaze, Aqing followed Zhongyu, and finally Wu Ping.
Why do I say last?
He was clearly the first to cast his line, but nothing happened for a long time.
He waited and waited.
Even after Wu An caught a fish in his second round, his fishing rod remained motionless.
When I reeled in the fishing line, the bait on the hook was still there.
Depend on!
He was so angry that he cursed... no, he cursed the fish!
Damn fish, they even discriminate against fish?
