Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Chapter 42 Strike When the Time Is Right

Friendships between women develop very quickly.

Of course, if any conflict arises, this friendship will also fall apart very quickly.

Although Lou Xiao'e moved into this courtyard house after marrying Xu Damao, she didn't actually spend much time there, and her relationship with the other residents was just so-so.

The only person I had frequent contact with was probably the deaf old lady in the backyard.

After all, the deaf old lady had a kind face and looked like an exceptionally amiable old lady.

Judging from her appearance alone, anyone would think that this old lady didn't have a bad heart.

But the truth is quite the opposite.

This deaf old woman is a classic example of someone who is treacherous yet appears loyal!

Compared to this patriarch of the courtyard house, Yi Zhonghai's methods are still a bit lacking.

Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li only chatted for a short while, but their relationship became much closer, as if they were good sisters for many years.

……

Shen Zhishou naturally had no idea that Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e had become good friends after just a casual chat.

After leaving home, he went straight to the train station without delay.

Upon arriving at the train station, Shen Zhishou glanced at the pickpockets loitering around the station but didn't make any special moves. Instead, he casually stole a few sheep on his way to the freight depot.

The harvest was good; Shen Zhishou only managed to collect a little over a hundred yuan in cash and about twenty jin of grain coupons from just three sheep.

"They're really outrageous!"

Having confirmed the gains from his casual act, Shen Zhishou couldn't understand why the local police station wasn't taking any concrete action.

These are truly solid achievements!

Or is it that you look down on these achievements?

Shen Zhishou only thought about it for a while, then stopped paying attention to it, since he was not in a position to interfere in politics.

Upon entering the freight depot, I found it to be very quiet.

Shen Zhishou found Wang Weigong and, after confirming that today's freight volume was not large, he decisively took his leave, as he really had something to do at home.

"You little rascal, from now on, if anything comes up, just take care of your own business first!"

"We can get by at the station without you!"

After hearing Shen Zhishou's words, Wang Weigong guessed why Shen Zhishou had come today and gave him a few special pointers.

"Brother Wang, well then, I'm really leaving!"

Shen Zhishou did not hold back either.

Wang Weigong waved with a smile and said, "Hurry up and go, hurry up and go!"

"Goodbye, Brother Wang!"

Shen Zhishou waved and walked away quickly.

As he exited the station and prepared to wade through the bustling crowd to catch his train, he noticed someone putting tweezers into his pocket.

"Hey buddy, what are you doing?"

Shen Zhishou stopped and reached out to grab the thief who had attacked him.

This was a thief who looked like he had just come of age. He was thin and skinny, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

The moment Shen Zhishou grabbed his wrist, the man showed no fear. Instead, he took a screwdriver in his left hand and stabbed it directly into Shen Zhishou's stomach.

If that needle had actually hit him, Shen Zhishou would definitely have ended up in the hospital.

However, Shen Zhishou reacted even faster.

The moment the other man thrust the screwdriver at him with his left hand, Shen Zhishou suddenly jerked the hand holding the man's right wrist, causing the skinny thief to bounce up.

His thin, bony body was lifted into the air and thrown out by Shen Zhishou.

This time, Shen Zhishou also went all out, and his right arm was dislocated the moment the other person was airborne.

The pickpockets loitering around the train station are not lone wolves.

The thieves who can find food here are all in cahoots, sharing the same powerful backer.

After Shen Zhishou dealt with the skinny thief, his accomplices naturally wouldn't let it go, and several people from a short distance away moved closer to Shen Zhishou.

In their hands were either screwdrivers or iron stabs made from sharpened iron rods about the thickness of a thumb.

There were no short swords, no daggers!

Shen Zhishou naturally wouldn't tolerate these people and showed no mercy in his actions.

Even though these are all his free money bags, he won't hesitate to spend them when the time is right!

The weapons these people carry are so sharp that a single stab could cause a deep wound; they're clearly aiming for a brutal attack.

With enough speed, enough strength, and enough eyesight, even though there were many thieves, they were still no match for them.

Shen Zhishou defeated these people in less than half a minute.

The commotion was so loud that it naturally alerted the police near the station.

Seeing the group of thieves lying on the ground groaning in pain, the three police officers who rushed over were also at a loss.

They are naturally aware of what these people have done.

They had arrested people before, but strangely, when these people were arrested, they didn't have much stolen goods on them, which was not enough to warrant a sentence. They could only be detained for a few days, given a lecture, and then released.

"I'm a fitter at the steel rolling mill!"

"I'm coming to the station today to see Section Chief Wang of the freight department!"

"This guy tried to steal from me, and when I caught him, he tried to kill me. After I beat him up, this group of people appeared. I suspect they were a gang!"

"Attempted murder!"

"Look, these are all their murder weapons!"

Shen Zhishou pointed to the screwdrivers and stamps on the ground and slowly explained the reason.

"Officer, I've been wronged!"

"We saw him hitting someone and wanted to intervene!"

"Yes, yes, we were acting heroically!"

"He's clearly arrogant and domineering, bullying people!"

A group of thieves immediately began to slander Shen Zhishou.

Unfortunately, it's useless.

These people are frequent visitors to the police station; they are commonly known as having criminal records.

In the past, they only committed petty theft, and each time they didn't steal much, so they couldn't be severely punished. But this time, they used a weapon, which is extremely serious.

On Shen Zhishou's side, someone also went to find Wang Weigong to make a brief confirmation of his situation.

Upon receiving the news, Wang Weigong rushed over immediately to testify for Shen Zhishou.

A group of thieves made their living in the train station square, and naturally knew all the leaders of the train station. When they saw Wang Weigong coming over, they knew that they might really be in trouble this time.

Unless, of course, the powerful figures behind them are willing to bail them out.

The problem is, it's simply impossible!

There are many thieves in Beijing, and if this group is gone, someone else will soon take their place.

"Comrade Shen, please take good care of yourself during this time!"

As Shen Zhishou was leaving the police station, Xiong Dahai, the deputy director, gave him a meaningful warning: "These bastards have powerful backers!"

"That person might feel they've lost face and cause you trouble!"

"It's fine, I'd love to!"

Although taking down a group of thieves didn't bring any real benefit, the station police said they would send a letter of commendation to the steel rolling mill in a few days.

Although there was no bonus, there was a letter of commendation!

And this letter of commendation will, barring any unforeseen circumstances, be broadcast over the steel rolling mill's public address system to the entire plant.

This honor will not bring Shen Zhishou any real benefits, but it will bring him a good reputation. At certain times, this good reputation will definitely be more valuable than real money!
