Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Some time ago, Qian Xizi went to Lijiazhuang again, and Li Cheng proudly said that he had got the job done.

Qian Xiazi said, "You said it was done, and I didn't see it! How about this, I want to see it with my own eyes when you do it, and then I can settle the remaining money."

This money box is a shameless and mischievous person. He is not afraid of getting stye after seeing such things.

In fact, Qian Xiazi was planning to let He Yongqiang catch the adulterer. I wonder how He Yongqiang would react when he saw Xu Huizhi cheating on him.

Li Cheng was reluctant at first, but Qian Xiazi had no choice but to take out another 10 yuan. For the sake of the money, Li Cheng asked Qian Xiazi to come back three days later. He invited Xu Huizhi to the thatched house at the foot of the mountain. The two of them agreed on the time and place in a few words.

Qian Xiazi asked, "Tell me how you hooked up with Xu Huizhi?"

Li Cheng chuckled and said, "The children at home don't have enough to eat. Isn't it not pleasant to be hungry? Give them some food and say a few sweet words. I will be the captain and arrange some fun for her. That's it."

Qian Xiazi snorted disdainfully and said, "It seems you are familiar with this."

On the third day, Qian Xiazi brought his second son Qian Duoduo to Lijiazhuang.

The father and son did not enter the village, as strangers entering the village would easily attract attention. It would be easy to leave a trail of suspicion afterwards. The father and son had done their best for this matter, and had spent tens of dollars. Qian Xiazi did not feel sorry for the money, because his son Qian Jinlai had made a lot of money in the past few years of dealing in grain. Although the grain was given by Cai Quanwu, the real source was probably Xu Huizhen.

Qian Duoduo went to He Yongqiang's home at the head of the village and saw He Yongqiang's daughter playing in the yard. He went up to her and asked, "Little girl, is this He Yongqiang's home?"

He Chunfen is five years old this year and is very sensible. When her parents go to work in the fields, she stays at home to look after her younger sister. When someone asks her, she says, "My dad is working in the fields?"

Qian Duoduo asked: "Do you know where he works?"

He Chunfen pointed to the east end of the village and said, "Carry water over there to irrigate the fields."

Qian Xiazi went to the thatched house that Li Cheng mentioned and laid in ambush. This was something that the father and son had discussed in advance. Each of them had their own division of labor.

At around ten o'clock, Captain Li Cheng arrived at the agreed time. Qian Xiazi deliberately showed his head from his hiding place to indicate that he was here.

Li Cheng crawled into the thatched house. He was determined to make a living for that little bit of money.

50 yuan was a huge sum of money in that era, especially for people in rural areas. They usually worked on the land and could only get some food. After a whole year of hard work for a family, it was a great thing to save or yuan.

Not long after, Xu Huizhi sneaked in.

Qian Xiazi made a gesture to Qian Duoduo who was not far away, and Qian Duoduo ran off to find He Yongqiang to report the news.

Qian Xiazi retired after completing his mission. Before leaving, he did not forget to put the money and food as agreed with Li Cheng in his hiding place.

As a person, you cannot go back on your word, even though he cannot be called a gentleman.

Like father, like son. Although Qian Duoduo was just a teenager, he was very smart to do such things. He took five cents and sent a child to find He Yongqiang.

He Yongqiang came over with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Are you looking for me? What do you want from me?"

Qian Duoduo whispered something in his ear, and He Yongqiang ran down the mountain angrily.

When Qian Duoduo left, whenever he met villagers, no matter they were adults or children, he would tell them to hurry to the thatched house at the foot of the mountain because there was something exciting going on there.

As for whether they can go or not, he doesn't care. As long as He Yongqiang goes, the mission is accomplished.

The father and son met outside the village, then slipped away quietly, without taking a single cloud with them.

In the straw house, Li Cheng was fighting with Xu Huizhi, and the fight was in full swing and inseparable. After Xu Huizhi followed Li Cheng, she realized that men are different from each other, and Li Cheng is really a man.

She was moaning with enjoyment when she suddenly heard He Yongqiang roar: "What are you doing?"

Li Cheng saw that the situation was not good, so he rolled over and climbed off Xu Huizhi, and quickly grabbed his clothes and put them on. He Yongqiang roared, "I will beat you two dogs to death." Then he rushed over to hit Li Cheng.

Li Cheng was punched without paying attention. He threw the clothes in his hand at He Yongqiang's head, pressed him to the ground, and kicked him hard in the crotch.

He Yongqiang had just rushed over with rage and bared fangs, without any plan, but his eyes were blocked by his clothes, so he lost the initiative, and was kicked in the vitals, and for a while he was in so much pain that he couldn't get up.

Li Cheng took the opportunity to grab his clothes and ran out of the hut. Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one.

I thought I had escaped, but unexpectedly, there were seventy, eighty, or ninety elderly people and children not far away, all of whom came to watch the show. The children didn't understand, but when the adults saw Li Cheng's shirtless and embarrassed appearance, what else could they not understand?

There were many people who were jealous of the captain's position. Someone who didn't like Li Cheng shouted, "Hurry up, the captain is being a hooligan."

Li Cheng put on his clothes while running. The most important thing now was to leave this place and not be caught. After leaving, he would deny his guilt.

Thinking of this, he simply did not go to the village, but turned around and ran up the mountain.

All the young and strong people had gone to work in the fields. Most of the people who came were old people and children, and they could not catch up with him. By the time the young people heard the news and came over, Li Cheng had disappeared.

All he could hear was He Yongqiang roaring in the thatched cottage: "Xu Huizhi! Why did you do this to me? I abandoned my wife and children, my home and my career for you, and this is how you repay me?"

Xu Huizhi sobbed, "What can I do? I've been working so hard with you and can't even have a full meal. This is not the life I want to live!"

When the onlookers rushed in, they saw He Yongqiang beating people like a madman. Xu Huizhi was holding her head and wailing.

Some soft-hearted people could not bear to watch this anymore, so they stepped forward and grabbed He Yongqiang, saying, "That's enough. If you beat him up, your child will be left without a mother."

He Yongqiang fell to the ground with a thud, and cried loudly: "Why? Oh, God! Why do you do this to me?"

He Yongqiang wailed and almost collapsed.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this situation, not knowing what to do. Xu Huizhi took the opportunity to get up and run away.

He Yongqiang didn't know how he got home. At this moment, he was lying on the bed like a walking corpse, motionless.

He stared at the roof with dead fish eyes, looking back at the road he had walked in the past few years. He was originally the young master of a tavern. He could not be said to be rich, but he had enough food and clothing.

Since he started dating Xu Huizhi, he first broke off relations with his adoptive father and ran away from home, and then divorced Xu Huizhen and left the house with nothing.

After returning to the countryside, he realized that farmers' lives were not easy. It was useless to regret. He held his breath and wanted to live a good life. However, things did not go as he wished. After a few years, he encountered a disaster and had no food to eat.

As life became unbearable, he wanted to go to the city to borrow some money and food from Xu Huizhen, but was ruthlessly refused. His father died of illness and hunger.

Now, Xu Huizhi, the true love whom he had given up everything to marry, had actually betrayed him!

He Yongqiang felt that his sincerity had gone to waste, and his heart was broken. One wrong step led to another, and now he was the laughing stock of Lijiazhuang.

As for that wild man, he didn't even have the energy to take revenge on him. Even if he picked up a knife and chopped him, what would be the use? His wife was already defiled, and the two of them could never go back to the way they were before.

Besides, he was no match for the other party. There were many brothers in the Li family, and he could not fight against four with his two fists. It would be awkward for him to do so.

He also thought about divorce, but this was his second divorce. After the divorce, he would be penniless. How could he find another wife? It would not do to leave his two young children without a mother to take care of them!

Is it like a living turtle, living in silence like this? It would be better to die.

Xu Huizhi was also frightened by He Yongqiang. She knew she had done something wrong and was like a quail, not daring to say a word. The two children also felt the low pressure at home and were silent.
