Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Chapter 144 Chen Xueru's House Was Stolen

What bad intentions could Xu Hui really have? She just wanted to remind the leaders to preserve the grain supply for 1958 and ensure that every grain in the rural areas was harvested.

According to the historical knowledge she knew, in recent years, my country has provided large amounts of food, cloth, and military weapons to the South Vietnam for free. But in the near future, the South Vietnam will turn its guns around and aim at us. The people in our country are not well fed, and it really is a bargain for those ungrateful people.

Xu Huizhen did what she should do, but as to what effect it had, it is unknown.

The next day, Xu Huizhen deliberately procrastinated and went to work later to give time for things to happen.

Director Wang's aunt is a model worker. She was the first to come to work. The teacher in the message room, Lao Qin, held a red envelope and said tremblingly, "Director Wang, something big has happened!"

The director said: "Don't be anxious. Just speak slowly."

Lao Qin took Director Wang to the backyard. The yard of the neighborhood committee was small, and it was filled with grain. There was no bag to put it in, just laying it flat on the ground. She picked up a cob of corn and said, "This corn is growing really well. Lao Qin, where did you get so much grain?"

Lao Qin cried and said, "Director, it's all my fault. I slept too soundly last night and didn't hear anything. When I got up this morning, I wanted to clean the yard, but when I got to the backyard, I saw this. I was really shocked. There's also a letter here. I don't recognize many words. Please take a look."

Director Wang opened the letter and read it carefully. At this time, Master Ge, Sister Liu and others came to work one after another. Sister Liu said in surprise: "Could this be sabotage by class enemies? Maybe the food is poisonous."

Master Ge retorted, "This is precious food. How can the class enemy be so stupid? Besides, if we find a cat or a dog to taste it, we will know whether it is poisonous or not."

Xu Huizhen arrived late at this time.

When Director Wang saw Xu Huizhen, he felt like he had seen a savior and said, "Huizhen, you usually have a lot of ideas. What do you think we should do?"

Xu Huizhen pretended to read the contents of the letter and said, "This matter is too big. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall enough to hold it up. Let's call our superiors to report it."

Director Wang: "Yes, you see, I am so anxious that I am confused." After saying that, he picked up the phone and went to report to the street office.

After Director Li of the Street Office came and learned about the situation, he reported to the district, and finally the city sent a car to take the grain away. The leaders all looked serious, and they had to go back to discuss and decide what to do. Before leaving, the leaders told everyone to keep their mouths shut and not spread rumors casually. At the same time, they asked the Public Security Bureau to intervene in the investigation to find out the source of the grain and the writer of the letter.

At the same time, the same drama was playing out at the police station. Old Ma, who was on duty at the message room, was criticized by Chief Song: "I'm not saying anything bad about you, Old Ma, but you slept like a dead pig. You didn't even know how you died if you were shot. There was such a big commotion in the backyard, and you didn't even know it! This is a police station, and you don't have any vigilance at all. It's embarrassing to tell others about it."

Lao Ma pursed his lips...feeling very aggrieved.

Other police officers surrounded the yard and checked inside and out, but found no clues. Logically, seven or eight tons of grain must have been transported here by truck, but there was not even a trace of a car, and no one nearby heard the sound of a car or tractor. It was as if it had fallen from the sky and appeared out of thin air. It was magical.

As for the grains, the sweet potatoes are surprisingly big, the corn cobs have full grains, and the cobs are long. Not to mention that they look like high-quality varieties.

Chief Song, who was confused about the situation, had no choice but to call his superiors to report. Then, several jeeps came to the police station one after another. They were all senior leaders of the public security system. The leaders observed the scene and had no clue.

A young policeman said to himself: "Is this a warning from God? Maybe the next few years will really be disaster years."

All eyes around him turned to him, and the young man quickly covered his mouth, then shook his head, indicating that I didn’t say anything and it wasn’t me who said that.

Now we live in a new society and we are not allowed to promote feudal superstitions, but this incident is so magical that food seems to have fallen from the sky.

Coincidentally, the Daqianmen neighborhood committee also called the police. The Public Security Bureau deployed a large number of police forces to continue investigating the matter.

Although they were asked to keep it confidential, too many people knew about it, and the investigation was carried out with a large force. Trucks coming and going to transport food attracted a lot of onlookers, and everyone likes to gossip, so different versions of the news spread around the Daqianmen area.

As for the subsequent development of the matter, Xu Huizhen can only look forward to it and let nature take its course.

Unexpectedly, the system sent a reward: "The host has a sense of justice, cares about the country and the people, and donates food. The system rewards ten acres of fruit and vegetable space."

Hearing this news, Xu Huizhen quickly flashed into the space, and sure enough, the original space had expanded again. In the extra part of the field, different varieties of fruit trees have been planted. Some branches have fruits hanging on them, and they will be harvested soon, so they are easy to identify. The ones with fruits hanging are apple trees and pear trees. The peach trees and apricot trees are probably already harvested. In the gaps between the fruit trees, there are also many creeping plants such as pumpkins and squash, which are growing vigorously.

Xu Hui was very happy. With these twenty acres of space, she would have no worries during the difficult times in the future.

On this day, Pianerye hurried over to Xu Huizhen and said, "Huizhen, go and have a look. Chen Xueru's man has stolen all her money and valuables. Manager Chen is crying at home."

This incident also happened in the original plot.

Xu Huizhen followed Pianerye to Chen Xueru's house, only to see that the house was in a mess and Chen Xueru was lying on the bed crying. To be honest, Boss Chen was a strong woman, and it was rare to see her looking so helpless.

Xu Huizhen asked: "Have you called the police?"

Chen Xueru raised her head and shook her head with tears in her eyes. Xu Huizhen understood: "I know, Liao Yucheng has your weakness in his hand, right? What kind of illegal business did you and Ye Lina do?"

Chen Xueru interrupted her and cried, "Is this the time to talk about this?"

Xu Huizhen said in a good-tempered manner: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Then what do you want to do? You can't give all your wealth to Liao Yucheng, right?"

Chen Xueru: "You usually have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. I know you have a way to help me get my money back. Even if you get less, it can always reduce the loss."

Xu Huizhen pointed at the tip of her nose and said, "Me? You really think too highly of me." Chen Xueru started crying again, "Why did I ask you to come? If you don't help me, who will?"

Xu Huizhen: "Okay, I'll help you find someone, but you have to spend some money. First, you have to leave some hush money for Liao Yucheng, and you have to spend some money to hire someone. How much do you want to get back?"

Chen Xueru nodded and said, "It would be fine if we can get back half of the cash, passbooks and jewelry."

Xu Huizhen: "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're usually too strict with Liao Yucheng. If you were a little more lenient, it wouldn't have come to this."

Chen Xueru said unconvincedly, "For more than a year, he has been eating at his own expense, always using money to subsidize his mother, and every now and then he would go to his ex-wife's house to see the children. That's why I confiscated his salary. Can you tolerate it?"

Xu Huizhen said earnestly: "When you married him, you knew he had a son. Even if you divorced, you couldn't have no contact with each other forever. Forget it, what's the point of talking about this now. I'll find someone to settle this matter for you. Don't be too sad. As the saying goes, losing money can avoid disaster. There is also a saying that when you have a lot of money, you will do good deeds, otherwise it will hurt yourself."

Chen Xueru grabbed a pillow and threw it at Xu Huizhen, saying, "Are you here to comfort me or to make me angry?" After saying that, she started to cry again.

Xu Huizhen quickly admitted her mistake and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Don't cry anymore. Cheer up. You have to live your life as usual. Don't forget that you still have a son and a mother at home."

Chen Xueru stopped crying and said, "We can handle the divorce together. In fact, I have wanted to divorce him for a long time."
