No.9 Shrew and Hooligan

Chen Songlin picked up a dog's tail grass by the side of the road, held it in his mouth, and walked forward casually. Soon, he and Chen Yu came to the door of the Er Gou Zi, but the big iron door closed.

"Not in?" Chen Yu frowned.

Chen Songlin smiled in his heart, pricked up his ears and listened quietly. He could clearly hear the sound inside, the sound of crashing down. He could recognize that someone was playing mahjong in the hall.

"Someone's there." Chen said.

"Open the door, open the door!"

Chen Yu was knocking on the iron door loudly, but there was no answer inside.

Chen Songlin smiled in a cunning way and put his finger into the crack of the door. Without Chen Yu noticing, he pushed the bolt open with his genuine qi.

"Wow, elder brother how did you open?" Chen yu was surprised.

Chen Songlin said with a smile, "Put your fingers into it and pull it off. Ok, go in."

"Ewww, it's filthy." Chen Yu held her nose and walked inside.

They didn't know how the family lived: there was such a mess in the pails, everything was poured in, the big bucket was full of rubbish but nobody cleaned it.

They had hardly reached the passage when they saw five or six men in the main hall, four of whom were sitting smoking and playing mahjong, and two watching. There was a noise outside, and Chen Songlin heard someone shouted immediately, "Who is it?"

Chen Songlin and Chen Yu went inside, he observed, they were all the village ignorant bastard, none of them was a good bird. Two were married long ago before they were 20.

"Oh, playing mahjong!" Chen Chuckled.

"Chen Yu, why are you here?" "Someone asked.

"Money!" Chen Yu groaned.

"Ha, ha, ha, money? Who does your little girl ask for money?"

A stout man rolled his eyes and removed the cigarette ash from his hand, coldly swept Chen Yu one second, and directly scolded: "Fuck sack, I hate the jinx when gambling!"

"Won! Ha ha ha, give me money, give me money!"

"Sick! Disaster star, don't stand beside me" The stout man gave Chen Yu a big push.

Chen Yu stumbled, almost hit the wall, fortunately Chen Songlin pulled her in time.

"Zhang Ergou, return the money you owed us!" Chen Yu shouted angrily.

"Pa!" The stout man ruthlessly hit the table, the original mahjong set suddenly overturned, "What the fuck! When did I owe your family money? If you harass me again here, don't blame me impolite, fuck off!"

"Hehe."

Chen songlin smiled gently, stepped forward and said with a smile: "It is a matter of god that you should repay the money you owe. If you didn't owe it, how can someone wrongfully accuse you?"

"Who are you?" Zhang Liansheng glared at Chen.

Chen Pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"You are not brother Songlin, are you?" "One young man wondered.

"Who the hell are you, when did I owe your family money? Damn it, where's the I.O.U.? Have you got it?" Zhang Liansheng scolded, "My good mood has been ruined by you this group of jinx, if you still don't go, I can't control to punch you!"

Chen Songlin picked up a mahjong card from the table, touched it and laughed: "Ha ha, bully us as there are not many people in our home?"

"Liansheng, did you owe their money?" "Asked by a middle-aged man.

"No, of course no!" Zhang Shenglian angrily said "Did I lack of that little money?! Besides, even if the jinx's money was given to me, I dare not use it! I'm working on the construction site too, what if she brought bane death to me as well!"

"Ha ha, pardon me? who is the jinx?" Chen asked with a smile.

"Ha ha ha, who do you think?" Zhang Liansheng laughed, "Calculate up, Wang Shulan should be your enemy, ha ha ha! Wasn't your father the one who killed by her bad luck? Ha ha ha!"

"You!" Chen Yu was too angry that even fingers were trembling.

Chen Pushed the young man beside him, sat down on the bench, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it slowly, inhaled deeply and exhaled. A smoke ring grew from a small, wreathed in air up.

"It seems that the village has changed a lot during my absence. Dogs and cats can climb over our walls." Chen Songlin askew his mouth and smiled.

"Brother Songlin..." The young man pulled Chen Songlin and winked at him.

His name was Liu Wei. When he was a child, he liked to play behind Chen Songlin. As Songlin always protected him when he was bullied by other people at school.

"Who is making noise? Where's the old woman?" A woman came out of the room with a angry look in her eyes.

"Aunt was gone to the fields." "Said the middle-aged man.

Chen Songlin took a look toward the fierce woman, her name is Tong Lanxiu, whole village knew this woman's evil, since she married Zhang Liansheng, hadn't let zhang Liansheng's old mom enjoy for one day. The woman was bossing around all day long and asking the grandma to do everything for her.

"Won or lost?" Tong Lanxiu stared at Zhang Liansheng.

Zhang Lien embarrassed smiled: "Half half."

"Half half?" Tong Lanxiu immediately sneered, "You'd better to lose all of our savings! BTW, what were you arguing about?"

Zhang Shenglian glanced at Chen Songlin and Chen Yu and said contemptuously, "Well, these two brothers rushed to our house and said that I owed money to them. Don't you think it is strange? Cause I never borrowed money from others! When have I ever owed money to others?"

"Xiao Yu, don't blame aunt to argue you, do you need some money?" Tong Lanxiu was smiling at Chen Yu, "Last time I did not said it to you? My friend got a car and a house, also owns a farm, he is very rich. If you want to use money, go back to talk with your mom, let her marry him, you can have hope in the future!"

"Fuck off!" Chen Yu got bad temper like little pepper, did not give anyone face.

Tong Lanxiu shrivelled, her face was suddenly cold down.

Instead, Chen Yu patted the table, angrily staring at Zhang Liansheng: "You said that you didn't take our money? Yes, you are now able to do a lot of construction in the city, you have earned a lot of money, how about a few years ago? Are you sure you didn't borrow any money from my mom? Don't think that we are orphans and widows then you can bully us! How did you say when you came to our home, do you still remember? Shall I repeat what you said a few years ago in front of so many people here?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liansheng's body immediately trembled.

Chen Songlin quietly looked at Chen Yu, said to his heart: there is something fishy!

"Well, well, isn't a thousand dollars? Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll give it back to you." Zhang Liansheng said.

Chen Yu coldly hummed, said: "now you remember?"

"Tell me!" Tong Lanxiu lashes down the table, "When did you owe them money?"

Zhang Liansheng was a brave man in the village, but he was afraid of his wife. When he heard Tong Lanxiu asking, he quickly put him off and said, "Oh, it was because of the salary couldn't be paid in those days. The boss didn't give me my salary, so I had to borrow some money to pay the workers first, otherwise, who would work for me then?"

'Oh, I see!" Tong Lanxiu nodded.

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Liansheng quietly wiped the forehead of the cold sweat.

Chen Songlin had thought that the matter was over, but, at this moment Tong Lanxiu suddenly burst out a word, shocked everyone. She looked at Zhang Liansheng, said suspiciously: "this can't be you keep Wang Shulan?"
