Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Since things had come to this, it was natural for Mrs. Xu to suggest that Xu Jianshe marry Wen Xin, so that the matter would be resolved satisfactorily.

Xu Wannian also said: "It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. The sixth day of the first lunar month is a good day. Let's hold the wedding for them. As for the marriage certificate, we can get it later." In rural areas nowadays, many people get on the bus first and buy the ticket later. There are many people who get married before they reach the age of marriage.

As long as there is a wedding banquet, everyone assumes that the couple is married.

Xu Jianshe has already developed feelings for Yingzi, and the two are already engaged. He doesn't want to let Yingzi down, and he doesn't like Wen Xin either. After struggling all night, he decided that running away was the best option.

The next day, he ran away from home at dawn and took a bus back to the capital, hoping that Xu Huizhen could help him think of a solution.

After hearing the whole story, Xu Huizhen couldn't sit still. Could it be that the old couple really got what they wanted?

She sighed and said, "Jianshe, this is obviously a trap set by your parents and Wen Xin. Maybe the wine you drank was drugged. They are probably afraid that you will ignore your parents at home after getting married in Beijing, so they made it a fait accompli for you. They made you suffer in silence. In this way, Wen Xin is the wife chosen by the two old people for you, and she will definitely listen to them, so as to further control you."

Xu Jianshe was depressed and asked, "Sister, is there no other way?"

Xu Huizhen: "There is definitely a way. It depends on whether you have the courage and determination to turn against your parents."

Xu Jianshe: "What's the solution? Tell me now, sister."

Xu Huizhen was worried that Xu Jianshe was too soft-hearted and could not make up his mind. So she said earnestly: "Jianshe, think about it. If you marry Wen Xin, you will have to give all your salary to your parents because you have to support your wife and children. The most important thing is that you are not at home all year round, and you don't even know whether the child your wife gave birth to is yours. Don't work hard all your life and end up with nothing!"

Xu Jianshe opened his mouth in horror: "Ah? Is this possible?"

Xu Huizhen: "Whether this is possible depends on your parents. They do this because they don't want you to be out of their control!"

Xu Jianshe gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, what do you think I should do? I'll do everything for you!"

Xu Huizhen: "Tell me first, have you and Wen Xin done that?"

Xu Jianshe looked puzzled: "Sister, which one are you talking about?"

He Yuzhu leaned over to whisper something in Xu Jianshe's ear. Xu Jianshe blushed and shook his head like a rattle.

He said, "No, no, absolutely not!" Although he had not yet married, he and Hu Yingzi were together every day, kissing and touching each other. There was only the last layer of window paper left. He also knew a little about the relationship between men and women.

Xu Huizhen once privately told Yingzi to have a sense of boundaries and not get pregnant before marriage. At the same time, she also gave her some basic knowledge about physiology.

The social atmosphere in this era was relatively feudal, and matters between men and women were even more taboo, so young boys and girls were ignorant about these matters.

Xu Huizhen was also very worried about these two people.

She thought for a moment and said, "In this case, it's easier to deal with. It's useless to reason with them. We can call the police and say that Wen Xin cheated on us and let the local police station handle the matter. It's been so long, we definitely don't have any evidence. But we can build a good relationship with the police station and let them stand on our side. We can start with Wen Xin, a little girl who doesn't have any ulterior motives. If the police deceive and intimidate her, she might give in and tell the truth. As long as Wen Xin gives in, the old couple of the Xu family won't be able to force you to get married."

He Yuzhu slapped his thigh and said, "This is a good idea. It's called removing the fuel from under the cauldron."

Xu Huizhen: "Well, I'll let Wang Lixin from the Daqianmen Police Station go with you. Since your household registration is in Beijing, just say that you reported the case in Beijing. With the police, things will be easier to handle. If it doesn't work, I'll go with you. I don't believe that I can't handle a little girl. The worst-case scenario is to pay more money to avoid disaster. Let Wen Xin let you go for the money."

He Yuzhu: "You stay at home and look after the children. I will take care of things like this. Wang Lixin, Xu Jianshe and I, the three of us will make sure that we get it done together."

Xu Huizhen nodded and said, "That's fine. Last time I went to Yushui County, I met Deputy Director Tang of the Yushui County Public Security Bureau. You can go find him and tell him my name. It will definitely be helpful. Yushui County wants the embroidery factory to set up a branch in Yushui County, and they have to ask me for help. Do you understand?"

He Yuzhu: "I see. What you mean is that only if we get this done, there will be hope for us to set up a branch factory, right?"

Xu Huizhen nodded and continued to nag: "Bring more money with you, and don't be reluctant to spend money when it's time. This is an important matter in Xu Jianshe's life, and we can't be careless."

Considering that it is better to do it sooner rather than later, if the Xu family is determined to hold a wedding on the sixth day of the New Year, it will become a fait accompli and there will be even greater resistance to canceling the engagement.

Xu Huizhen went to find Wang Lixin, who understood the cause of the incident and agreed to go with her without hesitation. What are brothers for? They are there to help in emergencies at critical moments.

So, the trio He Yuzhu, Wang Lixin, and Xu Jianshe boarded the train to Yu Shui County.

He Yuzhu bought two Bianyifang roast ducks in advance. On the train, the three of them ate one, mainly to reward Wang Lixin. Since he had taken the trouble to come along on the journey, he couldn't be too stingy.

The aroma of roast duck filled the carriage, and many people twitched their noses, sniffed, and then looked over. They saw three grown men, eating heartily while lowering their heads to discuss something.

The angry passengers kept calling them inhuman. In this day and age, it’s good enough to have enough food to eat. Everyone has enough food to eat. These three people don’t understand everyone’s feelings at all!

If it weren't for the fact that the three men were so big and strong, I would have wanted to rush up and grab a piece of crispy, tender duck meat to comfort my internal organs.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in Yushui County. The three of them had already made a plan on the train, and first found a hotel and settled down. Then, they went to the Public Security Bureau without stopping, and quickly met Deputy Director Tang under the name of Xu Huizhen.

Wang Lixin deliberately put on a police uniform to show that he was here for official business. He said, "Deputy Director Tang, the situation is like this. Xu Jianshe is involved in a marriage fraud case involving a woman named Wen Xin from Jinshan Commune, Yushui County. We are here this time to ask the police officers from the Jinshan Commune Police Station to assist us in investigating the case."

You have to know that if it is a public matter, then the local public security organs are obliged to assist in handling the case in a different place.

Then, He Yuzhu presented a gift at the right time, which was Peking duck. He said, "I am the wife of Xu Huizhen, the director of the Daqianmen Embroidery Factory. Huizhen told me that Deputy Director Tang is a good official, a good policeman who understands justice and works for the people. So, we came to you first, hoping to get your help. This Peking duck is a gift my wife asked me to bring to you, thank you for your help last time."

Last time, Deputy Director Tang took the initiative to report Xu Huizhen's visit to Yushui County to the county government, and was praised by the county magistrate. The county magistrate said that he took the overall situation into consideration, cared about the people, and was a good official.

In this case, he must seize this opportunity and try to get the embroidery factory business done.
