Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Yi Zhonghai was at home listening to the He family couple's scolding, which became more and more unpleasant. He wanted to join in the conversation, but no! Wouldn't that just prove that he was the one who did the bad thing?

But if they didn't go out, the couple would point fingers at each other and curse at each other. It was definitely pointing fingers at the monk and cursing the bald donkey! Anyone could tell that they were cursing him.

Alas, I don’t have a son to support me.

Thinking of this, his blood surged up, and a salty and fishy taste rushed into his mouth. He covered his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

An old lady cried out in tears: "Lao Yi, Lao Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Yi Zhonghai took a breath, raised his hand to stop the old lady from crying, and said, "I'm fine. I feel much better after I vomited it out."

The lady sighed and advised: "Old Yi, now that things have come to this, you should think more positively and take care of your health."

In the Jia family, Jia Dongxu was like a coward, listening to He Yuzhu scolding his master, and he didn't dare to go out to support his master. He couldn't beat He Yuzhu, and he couldn't scold Xu Huizhen. He comforted himself in his heart, anyway, no one was mentioned by name, so he just pretended not to know.

Qin Huairu was pasting matchboxes at this time. It was the three uncles in the yard who came forward to fight for her at the neighborhood committee. She felt very wronged. After all, she was a village beauty in the surrounding area. With her looks, every man would look at her more. She should be destined to enjoy a good life. She had worked so hard to marry into the city, how could she do such hard work?

The wages for pasting 1000 matchboxes were only 6 cents. To paste matchboxes efficiently, it is best to work in an assembly line, with one person folding, one person applying paste, and one person gluing. Only a family can work together to get the job done. But Qin Huairu was alone, so her efficiency was quite low.

But it's better than nothing, and I can earn ten or eight yuan a month.

She listened to the noise in the yard with her ears tilted, while she was pasting matchboxes skillfully. She asked tentatively: "Dongxu, do you want to go see the old man? He is your master after all."

Jia Dongxu couldn't just say that he didn't want to go, as that would seem too cold.

He said perfunctorily: "It's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The deaf old lady came to Yi Zhonghai's house with a cane. Seeing Yi Zhonghai's ashen face, she sighed and said, "Zhonghai, you are still a little impatient. You acted too impulsively this time."

"Ahem!" Yi Zhonghai coughed twice. "I understand, old lady. I'll have to trouble you to help me make a trip to appease the couple. Director Yang is right, if you have green mountains, you will never run out of firewood. I can only spend money to avoid disaster."

Although Yi Zhonghai insisted that he did not do it, he was not confident in his heart. As the saying goes, there is no wall that is impenetrable. Once something is done, it will leave traces.

The most important thing right now is to keep things under control.

So, the deaf old lady brought an old lady and knocked on He Yuzhu's door.

An old lady took out six hundred yuan and put it on the table. The deaf old lady took out a small red cloth bag from her bosom, opened the bag, and took out a jade Buddha from it.

Xu Huizhen looked at the jade Buddha. It was not a pendant, but a decoration. The color was crystal clear and the carving was good. If it were put in modern times, it would definitely be worth a lot of money.

The deaf old lady said, "Zhuzi, this 600 yuan was given to you by your aunt to calm you down. This jade Buddha is of good quality and was my dowry. I am giving it to you and your wife today. I hope you will let this matter go for my sake."

He Yuzhu lowered his head and remained silent.

The deaf old lady took the opportunity to play the emotional card and said, "Zhu Zi, I have taken good care of you and your sister over the years, right? Just think of me as taking advantage of my age and give me some face. Yi Zhonghai is also confused. It is better to resolve a feud than to create one."

He Yuzhu looked up at Xu Huizhen, meaning that he would let Xu Huizhen decide. Xu Huizhen sneered in her heart, "You want to kill me, how can I let you go? Do you think I'm a soft persimmon? Since you have money, I will take your money first, and then I will deal with you."

The system gave her a special ability, which is to take objects from a distance within five meters. She has never used it before, so she has to use it when she has a chance. The deaf old lady seems to have a lot of good things at home. Since you are the first to come out, don't blame me for collecting your things.

So Xu Huizhen nodded and said, "I can let this matter go, but Yi Zhonghai must voluntarily resign from his position as the head of the courtyard. Otherwise, I will go to the police station and ask them to come forward, which will make everyone look even more embarrassed!"

This is a good way to deal with it, and it won't offend Director Yang. After all, he is He Yuzhu's immediate superior, and it's unwise to confront him head-on. Be patient for a few years, and when the storm comes, he will go to clean up.

The next day, Director Yang gave He Yuzhu another job position and expressed his apologies in a kind and tactful manner.

On the factory's loudspeaker, the announcer read out the appointment notice in her lark-like voice: Comrade Li Huaide, the former logistics director, was appointed as deputy factory director, in charge of the factory's logistics work. Comrade Wen Zhiyuan, the former director of the third canteen, was appointed as the director of the logistics department, and He Yuzhu was appointed as the director of the third canteen.

He Yuzhu listened to the broadcast on the loudspeaker, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. In his dream, he also became the canteen director, but he was already in his forties at that time. It was after Director Yang resumed his work that he arranged the position of canteen director for him out of gratitude for He Yuzhu's care for him during the movement.

It's also because I'm not ambitious, I'm foul-mouthed, I'm not forgiving, I'm impulsive, and I'm stubborn.

The four criminals are the most unlucky ones as the matter is handled in this way. It is a foregone conclusion that they will be sentenced and there is no way they can escape.

Two of the criminals' wives came to Xu Huizhen, hoping that she would let their men go, but Xu Huizhen said she could do nothing to help.

And she hinted to them, "Actually, I know that your men's behavior is directed by someone behind the scenes. But there are people behind him who support him, so your men can only take the blame. If you want to blame someone, blame the person behind the scenes."

Xu Huizhen's move was to draw hatred from Yi Zhonghai. Since these four gangsters were doing this business, they must be organized. If there were any bad friends who had not been arrested, they might be able to take revenge on Yi Zhonghai and their brothers. In this way, Xu Huizhen would not have to do it herself.

If they don't take action, Xu Huizhen plans to find an opportunity to take revenge herself.

Moreover, when they were cursing in the courtyard that day, she also warned Yi Zhonghai indirectly, telling him to be careful of retaliation from the gangsters. In this way, even if Yi Zhonghai really got into trouble in the future, Xu Huizhen would not be suspected, at least she would not be the only suspect. Well, her reputation is very good, a law-abiding citizen.
