Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Chapter 231: Horror in the Cellar

He Yuzhu was so happy when he heard that his wife was pregnant with twins that he danced with joy. People in this era believed that having more children meant more blessings, and even one son was not enough.

Just like Zhao Yali, the accountant of the tavern, who gave birth to eight sons, she was very straight. In the original plot, Fan Jinyou relied on his position as the director of the neighborhood committee and wanted to say something to her, but Zhao Yali curled her lips and said, "If you dare to touch me, let my sons take care of you."

Fan Jinyou was scared and couldn't afford to offend him. Xu Huizhen was influenced by the ideas of later generations. She believed that sons and daughters were the same. If you had more children, you would have more responsibilities and would have to endure hardships. Especially if you had two children at once, you would suffer in the next few years.

Therefore, the husband and wife's views on this matter are two parallel lines with no intersection.

He Yuzhu was busy cooking for his wife and family while humming a song: We workers have power,

Hey, we workers have power,

One shot will kill a pair!

Xu Huizhen was so angry that she picked up a broom and threw it at him, shouting, "I'm telling you, He Yuzhu, after this baby, I will never have another one."

He Yuzhu said quickly, "No more, no more. This time we'll have twins, a boy and a girl. Two sons and two daughters are enough for us."

Lying in bed at night, the couple chatted casually. He Yuzhu said: "The apples in the base have produced a lot of fruits this year. Director Jiang also sent fruit tree technicians to guide us in managing the fruit trees. Director Yang and Deputy Director Li are very satisfied with my work."

Xu Huizhen herself is a small woman who has to take care of her family and does not have any big career aspirations, but as a man, she still hopes that He Yuzhu can go higher and further.

Xu Huizhen asked, "Zhu Zi, what is your educational background?"

He Yuzhu: "It's good to be in junior high school. I'm not good at studying. Yushui is good at studying, unlike me."

Xu Huizhen: "If you want to continue to get promoted, you'd better go to school and get a high school diploma. How can you be a leader without education?"

He Yuzhu: "Wife, please forgive me. I can study a recipe, but I'm really not good at studying. I just muddled through junior high school."

Xu Huizhen: "I'm not asking you to really take the exam. You can ask the third uncle to introduce you to the principal. There is a backdoor and you can spend some money to buy a diploma. Do you understand? It's so difficult now. Everyone's family is short of food. If you send some food to the principal's family, I don't believe that you can't deal with the principal. Use your brain, there are always more solutions than problems."

He Yuzhu: "What if the principal doesn't buy it?"

Xu Huizhen: "Then change to another school. People have different ideas. You can always find someone with more active thoughts."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Let me give it a try."

Xu Huizhen: "If you need money or food, just tell me. I will strongly support you."

He Yuzhu saw his future in his dream, and from the perspective of an outsider, he discovered his own shortcomings. Now his personality and way of dealing with people have changed a lot, changing his previous carefree temperament to become more mature and stable, and doing things more smoothly.

Coupled with Xu Huizhen's indirect guidance, He Yuzhu is completely different from the original plot.

One thought leads to heaven, one thought leads to hell. This is an ancient Buddhist philosophical concept. It is also very suitable for a person's growth. In the process of growth, if a person has the right thoughts or is led by a wise person, he will have an ominous life.

Sometimes, at the crossroads of life, a right choice and a wrong decision can lead to two completely different paths in life. Therefore, many people have regrets when looking back on the past, but there is no regret medicine in the world.

People often say that there are three types of people to bow down to. One is a lifesaver. No matter how old they are, as long as they have saved your life, you should bow down to show your gratitude and respect. One is a hero, a hero who has served the country and the people, no matter whether he is a man or a woman, they are all worthy of bowing down to. The third type is a person who gives you guidance, who helps you get out of trouble or guides you in the right direction. You should bow down to show your gratitude and respect to them.

It can be seen that people who can guide you are really important.

The two chatted for a while, and He Yuzhu fell into a sweet dream, while Xu Huizhen tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

In the dim light, she heard a cat meowing in the yard, which sounded like someone imitating a cat's meow. She drew aside the curtains and saw a dark figure walking towards the cellar.

There is a cellar in the courtyard, which originally belonged to the He family. But because the cellar is very large, the people in the middle courtyard can store some things in it, such as radishes and cabbages in winter. Now it is very empty in this season. In the middle of the night, why is this person sneaking around like a thief?

When Xu Huizhen was really puzzled, she saw the door of the west wing of Jia's family open, and a person came out and tiptoed to the cellar. Judging from her figure, it should be Qin Huairu.

At this time, the system's mechanical voice sounded, "Ding dong ding dong, the system has issued a new task, catching an adulterer in the cellar. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with 1000 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of pork."

Xu Huizhen became alert when she heard this. She put on her clothes, tiptoed out of the door, walked to the entrance of the cellar, and listened attentively.

Xu Huizhen's hearing is sharper than that of ordinary people. She heard a man's voice saying, "Huai Ru, I have been trying so hard for such a long time, why is there no movement in your stomach?"

Qin Huairu said delicately: "It's not that easy to get pregnant. You can't rush this."

The man said, "You were very fertile before, and you gave birth to three children for the Jia family. You don't know how much I want a child of my own."

Xu Huizhen recognized it. It was Yi Zhonghai's voice. My God, no wonder the yard was so quiet during this period. There was no trouble. It turned out that there was a big move. Making a baby was a big deal.

It turned out that after Jia Dongxu died, Yi Zhonghai fell in love with Qin Huairu's beauty and fertility, and decided to let Qin Huairu give birth to a child for him.

Although Qin Huairu now has a job and her children have urban hukou, her mother-in-law has no rations and eats a lot, so the food rations are still tight. She often asks Yi Zhonghai to borrow food.

Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to ask Qin Huairu to give birth to a child for him, and he would pay her 300 yuan in advance. If she gave birth to a son, he would give him 700 yuan, and if she gave birth to a daughter, he would give her 500 yuan. Although Qin Huairu looked down on this old man, she was attracted by his money.

Yi Zhonghai also promised to take care of her in the factory, help her deal with her mother-in-law in the yard, and give her five kilograms of corn flour every month.

Qin Huairu was a widow with three children. Her mother-in-law was also a lazy person. It was not easy for her to support the family alone. Driven by the interests, she agreed.

In fact, she had no intention of having a child for Yi Zhonghai. She had already gone to the hospital to get an IUD. She wanted to get the 300 yuan first and get through this difficult time. Even if she couldn't get pregnant, Yi Zhonghai couldn't do anything about it.

As for a woman's chastity, what she shouldn't eat or drink is not worth mentioning in the face of hunger. Anyway, her husband is dead, so who is she guarding for?

In this way, the two began to meet secretly. Sometimes they went to a hotel, but hotels cost money. Later, they moved to the cellar, and today they were discovered by Xu Huizhen.

Hearing the lewd sounds inside, Xu Huizhen felt that the time had come. She returned to the door of her house and deliberately raised her voice, pretending to be a man, and shouted, "Catch the thief! There is a thief in the yard! Catch the thief!"

After she finished shouting, she quickly went back home. She didn't want anyone to know that it was her who shouted. This is called "doing good things without leaving a name." Hehe!

In the silent night, the sound was particularly far away. He Yuzhu was awakened from his sleep and quickly dressed to go out to catch the thief. Xu Huizhen instructed: "Zhuzi, when everyone can't find the thief, you lead everyone to the cellar, there is a surprise."

He Yuzhu: "What's going on?"

Xu Huizhen smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know in a moment."

A lot of people gathered in the yard in an instant. Just kidding, it's not easy for everyone these days, how dare you, a petty thief, steal things? I can't beat you up and pay for your rice fields.

Some of them were holding rolling pins, some were holding kitchen knives, and they searched the front and back yards but couldn't find any trace of the thief.

Someone asked, "Where is the thief? Where did he go?"

Someone answered: "Maybe he ran out of the yard."

The two people in the cellar were startled by the noise in the yard and had to stop working halfway through. It was really scary.

While putting on his clothes, Yi Zhonghai prayed that no one outside would find the cellar.

Qin Huairu was also frightened and put on her clothes in a hurry, accidentally buttoning them in the wrong place.
