Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Chapter 188 The Couple in Danger

Thinking of this, Xu Huizhen called Xu Jianshe over and said to him, "Jianshe, I have a quota for the steel mill here, which costs 400 yuan. Write a letter to ask your third uncle's eldest son if he wants it. If his family doesn't have enough money, let him come to work first and pay him back slowly with his salary in the future."

Xu Huizhen knew that her family definitely couldn't come up with so much money at once, but she didn't want to give the place away for nothing.

Otherwise, burning incense might attract ghosts. Old Xu's family is large, and there are many boys in particular. They are about to grow up one after another, and when the time comes, they will come to her to ask for work, which will be troublesome.

If you don't assign them work, you will attract gossip.

Xu Jianshe is now living a comfortable life and is very glad that he has the opportunity to move from the countryside to the city. He said, "He will definitely want it! The job quota at the steel mill is now priced at 600 yuan and there are people who want it. Although it sounds expensive, he can pay it back slowly after he earns money from work. If it doesn't work out, I will lend him some money."

Xu Jianshe has now completed his apprenticeship, with a basic salary of 27.5 yuan a month, plus travel allowances, he can get more than yuan a month, plus he occasionally brings some goods back from other places to make a little profit. There is also Hu Yingzi's salary. Both of them are frugal, and they can save a lot of money by eating and living at Xu Huizhen's house. The most important thing is that Xu Huizhen doesn't care about the small amount of money, so they also have some savings.

Hu Yingzi was so tired of living in poverty that she loved money more than her own mother. She would take out her savings every now and then to count them and give them a kiss. She was a real miser, and it was estimated that she had about 500 or 600 yuan in her hand.

Xu Huizhen nodded and said, "Well, don't worry. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let him spend the Spring Festival at home before coming back. Oh, by the way, don't tell your uncle that I got the job. Just say that someone you know wants to sell the job, and because you once helped him with a small favor, he sold it to you at a low price."

Xu Jianshe opened his mouth in surprise, "Ah? ...Ah!"

After settling this matter, Xu Huizhen didn't want to worry about Xujiawan's affairs anymore, so she left it to Xu Jianshe to handle.

Days passed like this. Ever since the thief came to their house, if Xu Jianshe was out driving, Xu Huizhen would stay at home to keep Hu Yingzi company. If Xu Jianshe was at home, he would take his son and follow He Yuzhu to live in the Red Star Courtyard.

She insisted on living in the courtyard house for another reason. The system rewarded her with ten acres of farming space, which was a prerequisite. If she didn't live in the courtyard house, she was worried that the system would take back the ten acres of land.

In the next few years, she still needs space to grow food. After the famine in the past few years is over, she can leave the courtyard.

I usually eat at Xu Huizhen's house because the food there is good. When you eat in the courtyard, there are countless eyes staring at you and countless troubles are waiting for you.

It is inconvenient to go back and forth like this, especially in winter when the weather is cold and it is also very painful for the children to follow me back and forth. There is no toilet in the courtyard, so we have to go to the public toilet when we need to go to the toilet. The smell of the dry toilet is hard to describe.

Standing on both sides of the Yellow River with secret documents in hand, this description is very vivid.

Recently, Yi Zhonghai's attitude towards the He family has taken a 180-degree turn. He has changed his previous indifferent attitude and is now friendly, amiable, and kind. He occasionally teases little He Jiankun.

This change made Xu Huizhen feel inexplicably uneasy. She asked He Yuzhu, "Why do I feel like the old man has been up to no good lately? Logically speaking, I made him lose face and prestige at the last general meeting. He should be holding a grudge against us. Why does this act of repaying evil with kindness make people feel weird?"

He Yuzhu deeply understood Yi Zhonghai's character in his dream: a hypocrite, a villain, selfish, treacherous and deceitful. For his own benefit, he would cheat people without any bottom line.

In the dream, he was completely and thoroughly tricked by Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. His hatred for these two people was like a surging river. If killing was not illegal, he wanted to kill these two enemies with his own hands.

But now he has a wife and a son, and he lives a happy life. He doesn't want to kill the mouse and damage the jade bottle. There is a saying that goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. He needs to accumulate some strength and wait for the opportunity.

So he said bitterly: "When things are abnormal, there must be something wrong. When people are abnormal, there must be a knife. Let's be more careful. If he dares to harm us, I will never let him go."

Yi Zhonghai was indeed plotting a conspiracy. His goal was to get rid of Xu Huizhen and regain control of the Siheyuan.

As for why he kept He Yuzhu, it was because he didn't want to make things too big, in case he got burned. Besides, if Xu Huizhen was gone, He Yuzhu would be much easier to deal with alone.

The reason why this old silver coin has been trying to ease the relationship between the two families recently is to make people think that they are friendly neighbors, that there are no conflicts between them, and that they will not hurt each other. This is a typical case of trying to cover up something, which only makes it more obvious.

Before liberation, when society was in turmoil, Yi Zhonghai knew that there was such an organization that specialized in doing shameful things, taking people's money and helping them get rid of disasters.

After liberation, social order stabilized, and these people behaved themselves and hid themselves. But their lives were not easy, because of their dirty backgrounds, they could not find good jobs, and their lives were difficult.

As long as the money is spent, there will definitely be people who will take risks, especially since this year is not a good year, the possibility of wanting to earn this money is even greater.

The most rare thing is that this organization is very trustworthy. After the matter is exposed, they will not give up the client. This is the point that Yi Zhonghai values ​​​​the most. Even if something goes wrong, he cannot be implicated.

That night, it snowed lightly. After dinner, it was already dark. He Yuzhu rode a bicycle with Kunkun, and Xu Huizhen rode a bicycle on her own, walking back to the courtyard.

Because it was cold and snowing, there were basically no pedestrians on the road.

Suddenly, He Yuzhu noticed two people blocking the road in front of him. They looked like they were up to no good. He quickly propped his feet on the ground and stopped his bike. Looking back, he saw two people blocking his way. Xu Huizhen also realized the seriousness of the situation.

She parked the bicycle, and the couple cooperated tacitly. They stood back to back and protected Kun Kun in the middle. Kun Kun was sitting in a child's chair at this time and had fallen asleep, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Xu Huizhen asked, "What do you want to do? You want money, right? Tell me the amount." As she spoke, she used her mind to take out pepper water from the space and put it in her hand. This was what she had prepared in advance for self-defense.

After entering this era, she has been keeping a tight rein on safety, staying alert at all times to protect her own safety.
