Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

When He Yuzhu heard the knock on the door, he knew what they were there for.

Jia Dongxu put the money on the table and explained his purpose. He said, "Zhuzi, I know my mother is wrong in this matter. She is an old lady and she has no choice but to live in poverty. You see, we live in the same yard. I will make up for your loss. Can you go to the police station to withdraw the case? Give them a chance to reform."

He Yuzhu: "Since you have called the police, let them handle it. I believe the police will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will they let a bad person go."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't sit still any longer, he said: "Zhu Zi, how come you have become so heartless and ungrateful now? Our courtyard has been rated as a civilized courtyard every year. If you have any problems in the future, try to solve them in the courtyard. If you make a big fuss, we will no longer be a civilized courtyard this year."

He Yuzhu: "There's already a thief, and you still want to keep the courtyard civilized? The eldest master is really funny. Besides, is this my fault? Did I let them become thieves? I think the root of this is you. As the eldest master in the courtyard, you are unfair and repeatedly shielded and condoned Jia Zhang's evil deeds, which nurtured her ambition. Today's situation is all caused by you."

Yi Zhonghai: "Zhu Zi, what are you talking about? We live in the same courtyard, shouldn't we help each other and tolerate each other? They are old and young, don't bother with them, besides, you haven't lost anything."

He Yuzhu: "Jia Dongxu, do you dare to say that this is the first time your mother has stolen something? I don't know about other families, but this is not the first or second time that things have been stolen from my house. In the past, they were just minor incidents, so I didn't take it seriously. But this time, I really can't tolerate it!"

Xu Huizhen said at the side: "Jia Dongxu, have you ever thought about what Banggeng will be like when he grows up with such a grandmother? People say that if a child steals needles when he is young, he will steal gold when he grows up. If he continues to be indulged like this, will Banggeng make more serious mistakes in the future? Do you understand the truth that spoiling a child is equivalent to killing him?"

Jia Dongxu: "I understand. I will definitely discipline Banggeng in the future. But for now, we have to rescue them first."

Xu Huizhen had instructed He Yuzhu in advance not to let Jia Zhang go easily, and at least to send her back to her hometown so that the people in the courtyard could live a peaceful life.

Listening to his wife and following the Party will definitely be the right thing to do. Therefore, He Yuzhu rejected Jia Dongxu's request without hesitation.

The two of them took turns using both soft and hard tactics, but to no avail, so they had no choice but to leave the He family.

The next morning, Jia Dongxu asked Yi Zhonghai to ask for leave for him. He and Qin Huairu took two steamed buns and went to the police station to see Jia Zhang and Banggeng. Qin Huairu did not sleep well that night. She did not feel sorry for Jia Zhang, but for Banggeng. Such a young child must be scared to death after being locked up.

After a night of torment, Jia Zhang no longer had the arrogance she once had. She took the steamed bread her son brought, ate it, and cried, "Son, please save me. This is really not a place for people to stay. I'm cold and hungry. I almost didn't go to see your father."

Jia Dongxu was helpless as he looked at his mother who didn't know the truth. After some thought, he mustered up the courage to say, "Mom, the police mean that if you take responsibility, Bang Geng can be released, otherwise both of you will be locked up."

Jia Zhang was furious when she heard this: "You unfilial son, I am a widow, and I worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you repay me?"

Jia Dongxu was also irritated by his mother's ignorance. He said angrily, "Is this my fault? If you didn't steal, would you be arrested? What can I do? I took the money to He Yuzhu last night and asked for his forgiveness, but you offended him so much that he refused to forgive me. What do you want me to do? If I go to jail for you, you will be happy, right?"

Her son's words shattered Jia Zhang's last hope. She sat down on the ground with a look of dejection.

Suddenly, she looked up and said, "I will take all the responsibility and let Banggeng go first. Then, you go find Yi Zhonghai and ask him to find a way to save me. Tell him that if he doesn't save me, I will make his ugly deeds public and make him lose face. He will no longer be the boss of the yard."

Jia Dongxu was shocked by his mother's words. He didn't expect that his seemingly righteous master still had something on him.

But if he were to threaten his master, how would he get along with his master in work and life in the future?

After much thought, he entrusted the follow-up work of taking his son home to Qin Huairu. He went to the steel mill to find Yi Zhonghai and said to him, "Master, my mother asked you to go to the police station. She has something to tell you."

Jia Dongxu wanted his mother to tell Yi Zhonghai herself, so that he wouldn't be embarrassed and could just pretend he knew nothing.

Yi Zhonghai went to the police station to see Jia Zhangshi, and after coming out he went straight to the backyard to see the deaf old lady.

Yi Zhonghai: "Old lady, I know you have some connections, can you help Dongxu and rescue his mother from the police station?"

The deaf old lady: "Even if I have connections, I don't want to use them on that woman. In my opinion, she deserves it. It's a good opportunity for the government to intervene and let her change her bad habits. You have to know that the more you use favors, the less you have. You have to save them for the critical moment. Isn't it worth using them on her?"

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and said helplessly: "Old lady, she has my weaknesses in her hands, I have to save her!"

The old lady sighed and said, "I have long told you that the Jia family is unreliable, unreliable, but you didn't listen! Alas."

Yi Zhonghai: "Now is not the time to talk about this. We must get through this first."

The deaf old lady: "Spend money to ward off disaster. Give Zhuzi more money. Money makes the world go round." As she said that, she opened the bedside table, took out a small yellow croaker and handed it to Yi Zhonghai. There was no other way. Now she relied on Yi Zhonghai to support her in her old age, and Yi Zhonghai could not make any mistakes.

The deaf old lady came out in person to negotiate with He Yuzhu and his wife.

Finally, Yi Zhonghai compensated He Yuzhu 500 yuan, and He Yuzhu made a concession and let Jia Zhang return to her hometown in the countryside. Anyway, the system required that Jia Zhang be driven out of the courtyard, so whether she returned to her hometown or went to labor reform, it was considered that the system task was completed.

At first, Jia Zhang was reluctant to return to her hometown. She was lazy and had been used to a life of luxury over the years. She couldn't bear the hardships of living in the countryside.

Yi Zhonghai advised her, "I can only do this much, otherwise you can go to labor camp. Go back to your hometown first, and we will find a way to bring you back when we have the chance."

Jia Zhang had no choice but to give in. She packed her luggage dejectedly like a defeated rooster, and Jia Dongxu sent her back to her hometown.

Another thing happened these days. Fan Jinyou got married, but the bride was not Chen Xueru.

Fan's mother is an experienced person. She was afraid that her son and Chen Xueru would rekindle their affair, so she decisively found a partner for her son and threatened to commit suicide. Fan Jinyou had no choice but to enter the bridal chamber obediently.

When Chen Xueru heard the news, she was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand to the ground to vent her anger.

It’s not that she must be with Fan Jinyou, but she couldn’t tolerate Fan Jinyou dumping her.

She narrowed her eyes and swore secretly that she must find a better man than Fan Jinyou. She, Chen Xueru, has always been a person who never gives up.

The author is thinking about what kind of person to assign to Chen Xueru. Does anyone have any ideas?
