Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Qian Jinlai was a skilled martial artist, having practiced martial arts with his father since childhood, so his kicks were very powerful. With one kick, He Yongqiang flew 5 meters away, and he collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up. The two younger brothers were not willing to be left behind, so they kicked him a few more times. He's father was so scared that he sat down on the ground and didn't dare to say a word.

He Yongqiang lived alone at the end of the village, and there were no neighbors around to help him. He had no choice but to give in. He said, "What do you want? Draw a line."

Qian came in and asked, "Tell me, are you wrong?"

He Yongqiang lowered his head and replied: "I was wrong."

Qian came in: "What's wrong?"

He Yongqiang: "I shouldn't have let Huizhi cause trouble for Xu Huizhen."

Qian Jinlai said, "It's good that you know you're wrong. Keep that woman under control. Don't bother my sister anymore. Otherwise, I'll cripple your third leg and turn you into a eunuch. Do you remember?"

He Yongqiang nodded dejectedly: "I remember."

He Yongqiang was such a coward, there was no reason for him to go too far with the money coming in, and in the end he even did not forget to charge some interest, saying, "You guys pay for the travel expenses and lost wages for the four of us brothers."

Xu Huizhi quickly ran into the house and took out a stack of change. She couldn't afford to offend these plague gods, absolutely not.

I don't know when her sister changed her good temper and became so powerful. Not only did she become the factory director, but she also had so many people defending her.

She didn't understand why the world was changing so fast. What she had to do now was to get rid of these people as soon as possible.

Zhang Laoer grabbed the money and handed it to Qian Jinlai. Qian Jinlai counted it and said, "You better remember this. Next time you call me here, I won't be so easy to talk to."

He Yongqiang nodded repeatedly and watched the group leave.

Father He looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh my God, what a sin I have committed."

The thief left with the carrying pole. Seeing that everyone had gone far away, He Yongqiang shouted viciously: "Xu Huizhen, you are so cruel! Let's wait and see."

Father He picked up a broom and hit his son twice, saying, "It's all your fault! Why didn't you admit that you were cruel when you abandoned your wife and daughter? Why didn't you admit that you were cruel when you pissed off your uncle to death? You've made our good life a mess. Alas! I won't even have the face to see my brother when I die."

After saying that, he returned to the house with a sad face, leaving Xu Huizhi to clean up the mess silently.

In Xu Huizhen's farming space, the crops grew very fast, probably because it was daytime 24 hours a day in the space, without night, so the growth rate of crops was about two to three times that of the outside world, which kept Xu Huizhen very busy.

He had to go into the space to work every night. It was easy to do at other times, just watering the plants, turning over the vines of sweet potatoes, and managing them. The corn was ripe these days, and digging the corn was hard work. This body had not done farm work since she married He Yongqiang. In her previous life, Xu Huizhen had not done farm work for decades.

To save effort, she used a sickle to cut the corn stalks close to the ground, leaving the roots in the ground. She would dig them up when she had time, but if she didn't, she would just let them rot in the ground. It took her four nights to harvest all the corn.

After harvesting the corn, it has to be dried, threshed, and crushed to make cornmeal. Xu Huizhen was so angry that she kept scolding the system for not being a human being and not giving it an automatic harvesting function. It was treating Xu Huizhen like a workhorse.

There was no other way, so Xu Huizhen took the corn cobs from the space to the cellar and said to Hu Yingzi, "Yingzi, I bought some corn cobs and put them in the cellar. You can peel them into kernels when you have time."

Hu was puzzled: "Sister, I have a city hukou now and have a food ration, why are you still buying so much food?"

Xu Huizhen said, "Are you afraid of having too much food? You came from the countryside, so it's always a good idea to store more food."

Hu Yingzi nodded and went to pick corn resignedly.

Xu Huizhen went to work every morning with dark circles under her eyes. People who didn't know her thought she went out to steal at night. Before she could catch her breath, the peanuts were ripe again. There were two acres of peanut fields. It was easier to harvest peanuts, but after harvesting, they had to plant again. They couldn't let the land go to waste.

This exaggerated space made Xu Huizhen very depressed. It was easier to grow vegetables. It was already winter, and vegetables were more expensive than grain. Xu Huizhen decided to grow two acres of vegetables. Even if there were too many vegetables, they had to have a source. They couldn't just appear out of thin air. If someone found out, it would cause trouble.

After much consideration, Xu Huizhen decided to ask her second aunt to build a greenhouse in her family's private land. The size didn't matter, it was just to cover up the truth.

Xu Huizhen paid and her second aunt's family provided labor, with the condition that the vegetables they grew must be sold to Xu Huizhen. In any case, rural people have no work to do in the winter, so as long as they can earn money, it doesn't matter if they contribute a little.

He Yuzhu's vegetable greenhouse has been built, and it is about two acres in size. Director Li was very capable and got a piece of wasteland in the southern suburbs. The area is not small, but it is not flat. It is two connected hills, and there is a river winding nearby. There are weeds and trees all year round, and the ground is covered with thick rotten leaves, but the soil is good.

He Yuzhu named it Xiaohuangshan. On Sundays, Director Li organized the factory workers to do voluntary labor to level the land and build three houses. After planting vegetables, someone would have to look after them.

There is strength in numbers, and soon a flat area was cleared between the two hills. It will be enough for this winter, and the rest can be taken care of later.

For those seedlings that need to be grown, Xu Huizhen will cultivate them in advance in her own space, which saves time and effort.

On this day, Xu Huizhen took her second uncle to He Yuzhu's greenhouse and asked him to go back and build a greenhouse in his own plot. He Yuzhu was very proactive in teaching and helping to purchase raw materials, which he was familiar with.

On this day, Qian Jinlai came to the tavern and glanced at Cai Quanwu. Cai Quanwu understood what he meant and found an excuse to leave the tavern.

Qian Jinlai raised his left hand exaggeratedly, drew a circle in front of his chest, showed the glittering silver watch on his wrist, and said, "Brother Cai, do you still have this?"

Cai Quanwu asked: "Are all those sold out?"

Qian Jinlai replied proudly, "Of course, there is nothing I can't sell when I take action! By the way, I did something today. I went to Lijiazhuang and beat up He Yongqiang. That coward doesn't dare to bother Sister Huizhen anymore!"

Cai Quanwu was stunned and asked, "He Yongqiang? How did you find him?"

Qian Jinlai told Xu Huizhi's story of coming to Sijiu City with great excitement. He also took credit for it: "Sister Huizhen has done me a favor. Sister Huizhen's business is my business. If that guy dares to bully my sister, I will beat him up every time I see him."

Cai Quanwu didn't know how to respond to the money coming in. Should he encourage it or stop it? He could only say, "I know. Wait for my letter."

After Xu Huizhen knew about this, she did not blame Qian Jinlai for his unauthorized actions. After all, she also wanted to beat up He Yongqiang. Seeing that Qian Jinlai performed well, Xu Huizhen took out another 20 watches and gave them to Cai Quanwu.
