Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

As no evidence was found, He Daqing's report came to nothing.

However, the romantic affair between Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice's wife in the cellar spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys.

Various versions of gossip were spread everywhere. Although I received hush money and couldn't talk about it openly, I could still tell it as a joke in private.

After Xu Damao got married, he moved to Chen Xueru's house and basically never went back to the courtyard. However, he hated Yi Zhonghai because when Yi Zhonghai was the boss, he always made things difficult for him.

After hearing the gossip, Xu Damao made up a jingle as a prank. Like the wolf grandmother, he gave a few candies to the leader of the children in the alley and asked him to lead the children to sing it.

He did not try to hide anything and was not afraid of Yi Zhonghai's investigation. He no longer lived in the courtyard house. Yi Zhonghai was no longer the arrogant and high-handed old man.

The east wind blows and the war drums beat, who is afraid of whom these days!

Thus, the following rhyme was sung among the children in the alley:

Uncle Yi has no son.

I fell in love with the widow next door.

Digging cellars, sowing seeds,

He wanted the widow to give birth to a son.

Accidentally, I was caught.

His face is thrown into his crotch!

There were not many entertainment activities in those days, so children treated this rhyme as fun. It spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, like a spark that quickly spread across the prairie.

An old lady went out to buy groceries and naturally heard the jingle. Some of the younger children, who didn't know the meaning, sang it with laughter, just like the nursery rhymes they usually sang when skipping rubber ropes.

After hearing this, the old lady felt her blood boiling and she felt dizzy. She barely managed to hold onto the wall and managed to stand steady.

After feeling unwell, she did not go shopping for groceries but went to the hospital.

After listening to her purpose, the doctor took her blood pressure and performed various tests. The final conclusion was: Aunt Yi had a minor heart problem, and she needed to be careful about her heart, not get angry, and not have too many emotional fluctuations. There would be no serious problem.

The doctor prescribed some medicine for her and let her go home.

Aunt Yi was recently upset about not having a child. Since she had come to the hospital, she took the opportunity to have a gynecological check-up. She wanted to see if she still had hope of getting pregnant.

Although she was already in her forties, there were many people who had children in their forties. Of course, she didn't hold out much hope. Somehow, she went to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

The doctor gave her a gynecological examination and concluded that there was no problem with her gynecology and it would not prevent her from getting pregnant. Aunt Yi asked in surprise: "Then why haven't I gotten pregnant after so many years of marriage?"

The doctor said: "It's not necessarily the woman's fault if you can't get pregnant. You can ask your husband to come to the hospital for a checkup. It's possible that the man has a problem."

Aunt Yi walked out of the hospital in a trance. She never dreamed that there was nothing wrong with her body. She remembered that many years ago, because she couldn't have children, Yi Zhonghai took her to see a Chinese doctor. The doctor said that she had caught a cold and it was difficult for her to get pregnant. He also prescribed some medicine for her to come back and recuperate.

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that the doctor was someone her husband was familiar with, maybe...

Thinking of this, she didn't dare to think further. So she went to see a Chinese doctor, and consulted a gynecologist. The conclusion was that there was nothing wrong with her gynecology. As long as she kept up with the sexual nutrition, she could get pregnant.

She happily paid double the medical fee and thanked the doctor for resolving the knot that had troubled her for years.

The old doctor felt bad for her and patiently gave her some knowledge that might help her get pregnant. Doctors are really kind-hearted.

Aunt Yi fell ill after returning home. After lying in bed for two days, she told Yi Zhonghai: "Old man, my nephew from my hometown wrote to me and asked me to go back to visit him. I just feel bad these days and want to go out and relax."

Yi Zhonghai has been so embarrassed these days that he wishes he could bury his face in his crotch when he goes out to work.

He also knew that his wife was in a bad mood because of what happened between him and Qin Huairu. He felt guilty, so he didn't think much about it and agreed. He also gave her 30 yuan and some food coupons and asked her to buy some things.

He wanted his wife to go out and hide for a few days. When she came back, things would have calmed down and there would be other news to replace them, becoming new topics of conversation after dinner.

The next day, Aunt Yi put the private money she had saved for so many years close to her body, picked up her small bag, and went out resolutely. Her bag contained some food. In those days, no one had enough food, so she had to bring food with her when visiting relatives.

Xu Huizhen is plotting with He Yuzhu how to take revenge on Yi Zhonghai. Xu Huizhen believes that the main reason why Yi Zhonghai was able to escape this time is because of money. Money makes the world go round.

That would cut off his source of income! The two discussed that as long as Yi Zhonghai's hand was injured, he would not be able to work as an eighth-level fitter in the future, and would not be able to get a high salary. He Yuzhu decided to find money to do this.

At night, He Yuzhu carried 30 kilograms of flour, and Xu Huizhen stuffed him with 50 yuan. She said, "It doesn't matter if you spend a little more money. The most important thing is to keep it secret. If things go wrong, don't involve us. Tell the money to come in. Once he is caught, as long as he doesn't let go, I can get him out."

She couldn't be like Yi Zhonghai, who ended up losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken.

Besides, as for the money, he had said before that he would deal with He Yongqiang and his wife, so for the sake of insurance, he made a careful plan.

Because Xu Huizhi usually lives in the village and rarely goes to the city, their family now goes to the city once a month to buy food, and He Yongqiang comes to buy it. It is not appropriate to find someone in the city to do this.

After much thought, they finally decided to target Lijiazhuang. The adulterer must be found in Lijiazhuang Village. The person who showed up in Lijiazhuang last time could not be used again, for fear that He Yongqiang would recognize him.

Qian Jinlai's father Qian Xiazi showed up in person. Firstly, Qian's father was a skilled martial artist, so he could easily escape even when three or five men entangled him. Secondly, older people are more reliable in doing things, and it is not an empty talk that people without hair on their lips are not reliable.

Qian Xiazi first went to Lijiazhuang to investigate, and finally chose the adulterer, that is, the captain Li Cheng. In this era, the captain is not a high-ranking official, but he is practical.

He has the final say in arranging work in the production team. If you don't like someone, he will assign you the most tiring and dirty work, and give you the least work points.

He also had the final say on food distribution. Food was very precious in those days. If the food was of a lower quality, it would be a big loss. Therefore, everyone was very respectful to Captain Li Cheng and could not afford to offend him.

The key point is that it is said that Li Cheng is a lustful person and has been flirting with several young wives in the team.

Qian Xiazi then found Li Cheng and asked him to seduce Xu Huizhi, paying him 10 yuan in advance and 10 kilograms of flour. After the affair was done, he would be given another 1 yuan and 10 kilograms of flour.

Although Li Cheng also liked Xu Huizhi, after all, Xu Huizhi's appearance was outstanding in Lijiazhuang. Since someone was offering money and food, why not do it? But he still wanted to know the reason.

Li Cheng asked: "Do you have a grudge against his family? Why do you want to harm them?"

Qian Xiazi said: "I have a grudge against He Yongqiang. He had an affair with my daughter-in-law. I cannot swallow this anger. Only by doing this can I relieve the hatred in my heart."

Qian Xiazi didn't care about his reputation in order to achieve his goal. He threw dirty water on his own son without hesitation.

Li Cheng: "I didn't expect that coward He Yongqiang could do this?"

Qian Xiazi: "He Yongqiang is not a good person. His current wife is his former sister-in-law. Do you understand? They hooked up before they even got divorced."

Li Cheng thought about it and realized that He Yongqiang lived alone in the village and had no brothers to help him. Even if He Yongqiang knew that he had stolen his wife, it would not cause any trouble, so he agreed.

Qian Xiazi was worried and said, "You can give the food to that woman, and then use your power as captain to use both kindness and force, and it will be easy to get the upper hand."

Li Cheng assured: "Don't worry, I have experience in this kind of thing. By the way, where should I find you after this is done?"

Qian Xiazi said, "My family is from the capital. I will come to see you once a month. After the matter is done, I will give you the remaining money."

Li Cheng: "What if you default on the debt?"

Qian Xiazi said, "You won't suffer any loss if you refuse to pay. You have both money and people, what else do you want? Don't think I don't know about your affair with other women. If you don't do it, I can find someone else to do it."

Li Cheng: "No, let me do it. Just wait for my good news. Also, you can't default on your debt."

Qian Xiazi: "I was worried that you would default on your debt."

The matter was settled, and Qian Xiazi left Lijiazhuang. In a good mood, he hummed a Peking opera: I am on the city tower, watching the mountain scenery, and I hear the commotion outside the city...
