Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

The crowd started to make noises: "Yes, your wife will make you kneel on the washboard. Hahahaha..."

Xu Huizhi said, "My father-in-law is the younger brother of Mr. He, the old owner of the tavern. He has no food to eat and is almost starving to death. Xu Huizhen lives in the He family's house, so shouldn't she help them?"

The onlookers were chattering and the atmosphere was quite lively.

At this time, Wang Lixin could only pretend that he didn't know He Yuzhu, otherwise everyone would think that he was partial and biased the law to favor his relatives.

He scratched his head and said, "Comrades, I think this matter is too long to explain. Why don't we go to the police station? It's not good to have so many people coming and going here."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement. In order to bite off a piece of meat from Xu Huizhen, Xu Huizhi had to take the child to the police station.

After arriving at the police station, He Yuzhu called the neighborhood committee, told Xu Huizhen about the situation, and asked her to come over. After all, he didn't know much about the He family's past grievances, so Xu Huizhen had to take action personally.

After hanging up the phone, he said that Xu Huizhi was being rude to him. He said, "This woman was pulling, touching and rubbing him, trying to use her beauty to get benefits from him. My innocence has been tarnished, and I feel sorry for my wife. Police comrade, you have to make the decision for me. This woman is not decent and has a history of seducing my brother-in-law."

Xu Huizhi defended herself by saying that she just wanted to borrow some food and had no other improper intentions.

He Yuzhu: "Why don't you come home to borrow money? Why don't you go to my wife? I don't even know you, what can you say to me?"

When both sides were arguing with each other, Xu Huizhen came.

She looked at Xu Huizhi. It was obvious that Xu Huizhi had aged a lot after not seeing her for a few years. In the countryside, people were always busy all year round. They were exposed to the wind and sun all year round. In addition, they worked day and night, taking care of children and the elderly. It would be strange if they didn't age.

Xu Huizhi stole a glance at her cousin and lowered her head like a quail. She still had some sense of shame, knowing that she had done something wrong to her cousin, and she didn't dare to look directly at Xu Huizhen.

She just couldn't understand why God favored Xu Huizhen so much? She was abandoned by her husband, but her life was getting better and better. Now she was considered a celebrity in Zhengyangmen. I heard that she was now the deputy director of the neighborhood committee, had two children, and had no worries about food and drink.

She was clearly the winner, seducing her brother-in-law He Yongqiang and succeeding in getting to the top. But now she has fallen to such a state that she has to be shameless and come to the door to beg for food.

She didn't know whether He Yongqiang would regret his original choice. Thinking of this, her tears flowed out freely again. This time, her tears were truly sincere. If it weren't for her two children, she would have wanted to die.

Xu Huizhen said, "Comrade from the police, when Mr. He passed away, he left the He family's house to my daughter Xu Jingli. This matter was made clear to He Yongqiang when we divorced. Since we are going to talk about the He family, I think He Yongqiang should be present. He knows this matter best. I think it would be better if you ask He Yongqiang to come to the police station tomorrow. We can explain the cause and effect of the matter in front of the police, so that you don't have to use the house as an excuse in the future."

Wang Lixin: "Xu Huizhi, do you think this is okay?"

Xu Huizhi didn't want to ask He Yongqiang to come, and even if she asked him, he might not come. He was a stubborn person who insisted on his own opinion and would not change his mind.

So Xu Huizhi said: "I came here this time not to fight with you for the house, but to ask you to lend us some money and food to help us with the emergency."

Xu Huizhen: "That won't do. You've accused me of usurping the He family's property in public. I must ask the police to be witnesses and make this matter clear. Otherwise, you'll come to our door every time you have problems, and we won't be able to bear it. As for borrowing money, we don't have that kind of relationship. I will never forgive you two for doing such an immoral thing. Listen carefully, forever!"

Xu Huizhi didn't expect her cousin to be so heartless. She wanted to make one last effort and begged, "Sister, the children are innocent. They haven't eaten since morning. Please help us for the sake of the children."

Xu Huizhen glanced at the two girls, He Chunfen and He Lixia. In the original plot, Xu Huizhen moved their household registration to Beijing. After the college entrance examination was resumed, she sent He Lixia to a cram school to study, and she was admitted to university. She sent He Chunfen to study accounting, and both of them became urban white-collar workers and worked in Xu Huizhen's company.

Xu Huizhen doesn't have the time to take care of them now. They can just leave their future to fate. Just take good care of your own children.

So she said, "The child has a father and a mother, so there's no need for an outsider like me to worry about him. By the way, He Yongqiang must come tomorrow. If he doesn't come, I'll ask someone to go to Lijiazhuang and invite him."

He Yuzhu: "If you tell me the truth, I won't pursue your crime of hooliganism. Otherwise, hooligans like you will be paraded through the streets."

Xu Huizhi looked at He Yuzhu with tears in her eyes. This brother-in-law didn't sympathize with her, a weak woman, at all. He was not a real man!

How could she be a hooligan? At most, she just had some small thoughts.

Wang Lixin said, "Okay, that's settled. You can come back tomorrow. After you two comrades sign the case record, you can leave."

After Xu Huizhen and his wife left the police station, Xu Huizhi followed them out and shouted from behind, "Sister, can you buy some food for the two children? Just some steamed buns will do."

Xu Huizhen and his wife walked away without looking back, leaving Xu Huizhi standing on the street, disheveled in the wind. Helplessness, regret, pain and other emotions intertwined in her heart. Oh, if I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?

The next morning, Xu Huizhen received a call from Wang Lixin, saying that He Yongqiang and his wife had arrived.

She went out with a heroic spirit, as if she was going to fight a war without gunpowder. He Yuzhu thought that he couldn't let his wife fight alone, so he also took a leave and came with her.

Time is a butcher's knife, and every cut is merciless.

He Yongqiang's pretty face has been dyed bronze by the years, his beard is untidy, his hair is messy, he wears a gray coat, and a hemp rope is tied around his waist. He looks like an authentic old farmer, and the temperament of the young owner of a tavern is gone. This is the result of his love for beauty rather than the country.

I have to say that He Yongqiang is also a talented person. There are not many people who can give up their family business for love.

Looking at Xu Huizhen again, her black hair was tied up behind her head, not a single strand out of place. Bai Jing's face was rosy, and it was obvious that she had plenty of food.

He Yongqiang only took one look at his ex-wife, and then he dared not look directly at her, and lowered his head in shame. From a moral perspective, he was sorry for Xu Huizhen. From a life perspective, Xu Huizhen's current life was like heaven and earth compared to his, and there was no comparison.

No matter how stubborn he was, he was also bent by the hardship of life. His momentum was reduced by three points.

Wang Lixin said, "Everyone is here. Comrade Xu Huizhen said yesterday that the He family's house belongs to Xu Jingli. He Yongqiang, please tell us your opinion."

He Yongqiang had already thought of an excuse last night. He said, "The tavern is the He family's property. When the old man passed away, Xu Huizhen and I had not yet divorced, so the house should be inherited by both of us. So even if we are divorced, I should have half. My last name is He, and the He family's property cannot be inherited by Xu Huizhen alone."

Wang Lixin thought what he said made sense, so he asked, "Comrade Xu Huizhen, what do you think?"

Xu Huizhen said: "He Yongqiang, let me ask you, when you were determined to elope with Xu Huizhen, what did the old man say? Do you remember? I remember it very clearly. The old man said that if you just left like this, you would not have a penny of the He family's property. Xu Huizhi was right in front of you at the time, and I heard it clearly outside. And you also said that you didn't want the old man's property, and then you took Xu Huizhi away."

He Yongqiang said awkwardly: "The old man was just talking in anger. How can you take angry words between father and son seriously?"

Xu Huizhen: "Father and son? You are just the old man's nephew. How can you be father and son?"

He Yongqiang: "When I was twelve years old, I was officially adopted by my uncle, and there is an adoption document to prove it."

Xu Huizhen: "Oh? Where is the document?"

He Yongqiang was speechless. He had left in a fit of rage and had never thought of taking any documents with him.

Xu Huizhen continued, "After you left, the old man became sick because of you, and he was bedridden. He passed away a few days later. Let's put it this way, without you, the old man could have lived two more days."
