Siheyuan: Starting from the driver

Chapter 676 Revenge Not Yet Achieved, Another Revenge Needed

Return to the yard.

The three women were hanging out laundry when they saw Yan Bugui's disheveled appearance and thought they were seeing things.

"Honey, what happened to you? How did you get like this? You've only been gone a short while, how did it get like this?" the third aunt couldn't help but ask.

"Don't mention it, don't mention it," Yan Bugui said impatiently, waving his hand.

He was in no mood to talk about these things, so he threw his fishing gear at the door and went inside.

When the three aunties saw Yan Bugui's pathetic state, they knew something must have gone wrong.

"What exactly happened?" The third aunt also came into the house and helped Yan Bugui change his clothes.

"Ugh, don't even mention it! I ran into a bunch of bastards today. They just threw me into Shichahai Lake without saying a word. Damn it! Those bastards, they made me so angry!" Yan Bugui was furious.

"What! These bastards! We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. Call the police and have them arrested!" the auntie said indignantly. "This is intolerable!"
The three aunts had no idea what kind of person Yan Bugui was when he went fishing, or what despicable things he did.

Although it was his wife, Yan Bugui knew that what he had done was indeed immoral, and he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Yan Bugui felt embarrassed and waved his hand, "Forget it, they have more people and more power, we can't beat them."

"No, this can't be left like this. How dare they do this in broad daylight? We have to call the police and arrest them! We won't let a single one of them get away with it!" the third aunt said angrily.

"We're not afraid of them because they outnumber us. The police will help us! We'll take them all down! A bunch of bastards! They might as well be dead!"

"Forget it, the police might not care about such a small matter. It would only cause trouble and make things worse. I'll just be more careful in the future."

The three women wanted to say something more, but Yan Bugui ultimately shut them up.

"Okay, then you'd better be careful. Look, your clothes have a tear. Go wash them and mend them quickly."

The three women held Yan Bugui's old clothes, feeling sorry for him.

"Damn it!" Yan Bugui was even angrier when he saw that his clothes were all ruined.

However, he didn't have any good ideas, so he could only stay at home and sulk. He definitely wouldn't dare to go to Shichahai again.

What if things get even worse next time? This time it was just being thrown into the water, but what about next time?

"Alright, alright, I got it. I'll choose a different place next time." Yan Bugui said and then stopped talking.

I took my bath ticket and clothes and went to the bathhouse.

When I came back from the shower, the sun was already high in the sky, it was still very early.

"If we can't go to Shichahai, we can go to other places. There's more to fishing than just Shichahai in Beijing."

Yan Bugui could no longer bear the shame of the 'Air Force' and decided to set off again.

Shichahai is relatively close to the courtyard, which is why I go there often. We have a bicycle at home, so going to a slightly farther place to fish doesn't waste much time.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui picked up his fishing gear and a new rod again.

Seeing this, the three aunts naturally tried to persuade him, but they couldn't resist Yan Bugui's desire to prove himself.

He immediately instructed, "You have to be careful, don't get into any trouble with anyone."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Yan Bugui waved his hand impatiently and rode his bicycle out the door.

Yan Bugui went directly to the moat to fish.

There are significantly more people here than at Shichahai, but at least you won't be chased away.

Yan Bugui walked along the riverbank for quite a while before finally finding a relatively suitable spot.

"Finally, I can fish properly. This place looks alright, but I don't know if I'll be able to catch any fish," Yan Bugui muttered.

5 minutes
10 minutes
30 minutes
Just as Yan Bugui was getting impatient, the fishing float suddenly started bobbing up and down.

"If there's a fish, there's a fish!"

Finally, Yan Bugui caught his first fish in two days.

"Wow, that's quite a big one!" Yan Bugui laughed as he removed the fish from the hook and held it tightly in his hand before putting it into the bucket.

It was just a fish the size of a palm, but in Yan Bugui's eyes it was a big fish; it was just self-indulgence.

"If there's one, then there must be two. I don't believe it."

Since catching this fish, Yan Bugui's luck has improved considerably, and he has caught several more fish in a row.

"Hahaha, that's great! Thanks to those bastards for driving me away, otherwise I wouldn't have discovered this treasure trove and caught so many fish, hahaha."

Yan Bugui acted like a madman, muttering and cursing to himself while fishing.

"They've taken the bait again! I'm so damn lucky today!" Yan Bugui shouted excitedly.

After catching five or six small fish in a row, Yan Bugui was so happy he couldn't stop smiling, and even considered fishing there all night.

However, Yan Bugui glanced at the sky and realized it was getting late.

"That's about enough. We've caught so many fish, we need to hurry back and show them off. I, Yan Bugui, am a master fisherman!"

With a desire to show off, Yan Bugui hurriedly rushed back.

Upon seeing the three aunties at the door, Yan Bugui immediately boasted, "Hey, I had a great harvest today! I caught more than ten fish, enough for our family to eat for half a month!"

Upon hearing this, the three women were also filled with disbelief.

"Honey, you're not lying to me, are you?" Yesterday ended in a dismal failure, and today things have turned around for the better? How is that possible?

"Let me see, let me see!" The third aunt excitedly ran over to look, and sure enough, there were about ten fish in the bucket.

"So many! Honey, how are you so amazing! This is wonderful!"

Yan Bugui looked up smugly and said, "That's right, don't you know who I am? There will definitely be more in the future. Today I've found a great place!"

However, neither Yan Bugui nor the Third Aunt noticed that a figure was staring intently at the fish bucket in the Third Aunt's hand.

"Come inside quickly, come inside quickly, I'll clean the fish right now," the third aunt said happily.

Before entering the house, Yan Bugui instructed, "No rush, no rush. Find a pot and keep them alive. They'll last for at least ten days to half a month, otherwise they'll spoil."

"Okay." The third aunt nodded, put the bucket at the door, and went inside to get a basin.

Just as the three women went inside to get a basin, a dark figure grabbed two fish from the bucket, and they darted away in a flash.

While Yan Bugui and the three aunts were chatting inside, the man had already disappeared.

When the three aunties took out the basin and poured out the fish, they didn't notice that two fish were missing.

After the three aunties finished cleaning the fish, Yan Bugui rushed over and, after counting them one by one, said, "Oh dear, two are missing."

The three women rushed over anxiously: "What? Two items are missing? What's missing?"

"Two fish are missing. Did you eat them?"

"I didn't eat any, it's all right here."

"No, no, there are two missing. I counted them, and they don't match."

"Huh?! Could someone have stolen it?"

"Fine, fine, you've even dared to steal from me! I'm going to make you pay!"

Yan Bugui was instantly enraged. He had endured the ordeal of being thrown into the sea and worked hard all day to catch the fish, only to have it stolen.

My uncle can't bear it, but my aunt can't!
Yan Bugui immediately mobilized his entire family to search for the fish.

“You all go around the yard and see which house smells of fish. That will tell you who stole it.”

“Okay,” Yan Jiefang and the other two replied.

Each member of the family did their own thing, wandering around the yard to make sure they had checked every corner.

Li Kailang noticed the three women huddled together at each house's door, acting suspiciously, and became curious about what they were doing.

When he arrived at his home, Li Kailang opened the door and greeted everyone.

"Auntie, taking a stroll."

This greeting startled the three women.

"Oh, Xiao Li, I'm fine, just taking a stroll. You go about your business," the auntie explained casually before hurrying away.

Seeing this, Li Kailang stopped investigating. The three women searched other places, concluding, "It's so late; everyone's eaten already. No one could possibly be eating there. They must be hiding it."

Thinking of this, the three women took the opportunity of chatting while digesting their food to observe everyone's expressions and see who had stolen their fish.

Unfortunately, they still came up empty-handed.

After searching around without finding it, the three women had no choice but to go back home.

The three little ones and Yan Bugui didn't notice either. The family looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.

Sighing aside, things still need to be said.

"How is it? Did you find it?"

"No, I didn't see anyone cooking fish. Everyone's eaten so late, no one would be eating here," the third aunt said, shaking her head.

"I think it's probably hidden, but it's too late to go and check on other people. Let's see who eats it tomorrow; there will definitely be fish bones left."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"I think maybe someone stole the fish and is eating it quickly, and then they'd better sell it as soon as possible."

"I'm going out for a walk."

Yan Bugui suddenly thought of something, turned around and went out.

"Where are you going, sir?" the third aunt hurriedly asked.

Yan Bugui casually explained, "Maybe you don't have to eat the fish right away after stealing it, but you'll definitely have to throw away the innards left after cleaning the fish. I'll go rummage through the trash can and maybe I'll find out who stole it."

After saying that, Yan Bugui strode out the door.

When Yan Bugui saw the trash can, he was dumbfounded.

Several compounds were all part of a garbage dump, so much so that the garbage dump was just a pile of garbage.

Looking at the flies and mosquitoes buzzing around above, and the mountain of garbage, Yan Bugui felt nauseous and apprehensive.

Looking at the clean clothes and hands, I didn't want to take them off at all, but the words had already been spoken.

But then Yan Bugui thought about the two fish he had lost. He didn't care about losing the fish, but he cared about his reputation. So he gritted his teeth and decided to flip the fish over.

Yan Bugui picked up a stick from some obscure corner and started rummaging through the trash.

Yan Bugui was somewhat well-known in these compounds, and everyone was curious when they saw him rummaging through the garbage.

"Teacher Yan, what are you doing?"

Yan Bugui felt a little embarrassed when everyone greeted him, but he still responded with a smile.

"No, no, I just accidentally threw something away as trash. I came over to rummage around and see if I could find it."

"Oh, I see. Then take your time looking. I have other things to do."

After saying that, everyone quickly left. No one offered to help at that moment. They didn't even want to come to such a stinky place, let alone help.

Although Yan Bugui was very careful about hygiene, after rummaging around for a while, his clothes inevitably got dirty.

"Bah!"

After only a short while, Yan Bugui could not stand the 'fragrant smell' of the garbage dump and had no choice but to leave.

"It stinks! It stinks!" With a wave of his hand, Yan Bugui moved away from this troublesome place and breathed in the fresh air for a while before he felt better.

Looking at the stinking garbage heap, he had no desire to search any further and immediately turned back.

"Oh dear, did you fall into the trash heap? You stink!"

Before Yan Bugui even entered the house, a stench hit him, so bad that his third auntie had to fan the air.

"Hey, what bad luck! Don't even mention it, I couldn't find it in the garbage dump, hurry up and get me some water to wash it off." Yan Bugui was disgusted with himself.

After finally washing the clothes clean, they still smelled bad. "Give me a bath ticket, I want to go to the public bathhouse to wash up."

I just took a bath yesterday, but even if I'm worried about wasting my bath ticket, now is not the time to be.

As the three women went to collect the tickets, they asked, "Honey, what about our two fish? Are we just going to let them go?"

"We can't let them go to waste. Do you know how hard it was for me to catch those two fish? Let's go out and explore more tomorrow. I refuse to believe that someone would steal fish and then not eat them."

"You kids, be on your guard tomorrow. If you smell anything fishy, ​​go find it immediately."

"And if I hear that someone is using a lot of oil or eating well, I'll go check it out."

"Understood." The younger ones didn't want to go through so much trouble over two fish, but they had no choice but to comply.

He only said that, but in his heart he was determined to just go through the motions tomorrow and that would be it.

The three aunties found the bath tickets, and Yan Bugui couldn't wait to take them and go for a bath.

Jia family.

The figure stealing the fish is naturally a stick figure.

Having stolen the fish, the first thing to do was run home and hide it.

"Bang Geng! What are you doing!" Qin Huairu knew something was up as soon as she saw Bang Geng acting suspiciously.

"No, it's nothing," Bang Geng said guiltily, his hands behind his back.

"Still saying nothing's wrong? What are you hiding? Show it to me!" Qin Huairu shouted sternly.

"No, it's nothing." Bang Geng remained stubborn, but Qin Huairu wasn't going to tolerate him and directly grabbed his clothes and pushed him away.

The fish he was holding was obvious.

"Bang Geng, where did this fish come from? Did you steal it?! Huh! Speak up!"

Bang Geng stammered and couldn't say anything, and Jia Zhangshi watched from the side, not daring to speak up to support Bang Geng.

Qin Huairu will be starting work in a couple of days. If I offend her at this time, I'll be in big trouble.

Banggeng's mind raced: "Was it stolen? It was a reward from Uncle San."

"A reward for you? What made you a reward? If you don't give me a straight answer today, I'll teach you a lesson!"

We had a conflict just a few days ago, and she went back on her word. Today she's giving Bang Geng a reward. Are you kidding me?

Besides, Bang Geng wasn't some kind of genius, and Qin Huairu was well aware of her own limitations.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi seized the opportunity to step forward: "Maybe it's a reward from Old Yan to Bang Geng. Our Bang Geng is smart and obedient, who wouldn't like him?"

“Daughter-in-law, you can’t always say that Banggeng is wrong. This is your son, your own son. What kind of mother talks about her son like that?”

With Jia Zhangshi backing him up, Banggeng seemed fearless and said with his head held high, "That's right, Mom. If you don't believe me, go ask Uncle San!"

Bang Geng hit Qin Huairu's weak spot with one sentence: "Go to Yan Bugui and say that my son stole your fish."

Without even thinking about it, that's impossible.

Since this has happened, all she, as the mother, can do is help cover it up.

"Mom will trust you this once and won't go to Uncle San. Find a basin and put the fish in it, make sure it's deep enough, and we'll eat fish tomorrow."

Qin Huairu also had her own thoughts. It was a good opportunity to eat fish to nourish her body, and she also needed to breastfeed Kuihua.

Madam Jia immediately said, "We'll have fried fish tomorrow, fried fish is delicious!"

Upon hearing this, Banggeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately wanted to agree.

"No way," Qin Huairu immediately objected. "Frying fish uses too much oil and makes it smell terrible. What if everyone in the neighborhood finds out?"

"Just eat boiled fish, that way no one will know we're eating fish at home."

Madam Jia was immediately enlightened. She also knew that the fish in Banggeng was of unknown origin, so she could only nod helplessly: "Alright, we'll have boiled fish tomorrow. At least we'll have meat to eat."

Banggeng nodded helplessly.

Poor Yan Bugui, he didn't get his revenge; instead, his fish were stolen first.

He is also a god.
