Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Chapter 69 I have a small courtyard in the city

Fan Jinyou's hands were wrapped in gauze, which was a good proof. He was not stupid either, and admitted that he went to Xu Huizhen's house last night. He said that he went to discuss something with Xu Huizhen, but he knocked on the door but it didn't open, so he was anxious and wanted to climb over the wall to get in.

Director Song sneered and said, "Do you believe what you said? Xu Huizhen is a single woman. If you have something to say, you can tell her tomorrow. Even if it's urgent, you can find a female comrade to go with you. This is the normal operation."

Fan Jin had no other choice but to recount his recent experience, "I just wanted Xu Huizhen to make some concessions and let me work at their tavern. I was so anxious at the time that I lost my mind and didn't think too much about it. I really didn't mean to steal anything."

Director Song sneered: "You didn't want to steal anything, you wanted to steal something else."

The case has reached this point, and it can be said that the matter can be big or small, and the key lies in Xu Huizhen's intention.

When Fan Jinyou's mother and sister heard that Fan Jinyou had been arrested, they rushed to the police station to inquire about the details. In this era, the handling of cases was not as rigorous as in later generations, and the legal provisions were also very broad.

After getting the truth from the police station, the mother and daughter went to Xu Huizhen's home again. Fan Jinyou's mother was also a powerful figure. For the sake of her son's future, she was willing to sacrifice her reputation.

She wiped her tears and said, "Manager Xu, you know, my family only has one son, Fan Jin, and I'm not in good health and take medicine every day. If anything happens to my son, or if he loses his job, I'll be dead."

Xu Huizhen didn't expect it was Fan Jinyou. How could a street cadre do such a stupid thing? Fan Jinyou's brain circuit was really strange. After thinking about it carefully, she guessed Fan Jinyou's intention. It seemed that he thought she was a soft persimmon.

So she said coldly, "What did Fan Jinyou want to do by climbing over the wall of my house in the middle of the night? You should know it, right? How can such a person be a street cadre? I think he should be sent to a labor camp for reform."

Fan's mother was embarrassed and ashamed. Who blamed her son for not living up to his expectations? She could only say in a daze: "I promise this won't happen again."

Then he took out a roll of banknotes from his pocket, put it on the table, and continued: "This hundred yuan is all the savings of my family. It is my sincerity. I hope Manager Xu will write me a letter of understanding for the sake of my old face."

Xu Huizhen returned the money and said, "To be honest, I don't really need this little money. I just want justice. If I make a mistake, I must accept the punishment."

Fan's mother quickly pushed the money back and said, "I know this is a little too little, but I don't have any more. My son really can't go to jail! I am so shameless, I kneel down in front of you, please."

As he was about to kneel down, Xu Huizhen stood up, slammed the table, and said sternly: "Alright, stop pretending. Not only do you have a shameful son at home, but you come here to force me?"

Fan's mother stopped kneeling in embarrassment, stood up and said, "You are right, I did not educate my son well. I promise to teach him a lesson when I get back." As she spoke, she fell limply to the ground.

Fan Jinyou's sister rushed forward and shouted, "Mom, mom, what happened to you? Don't let anything happen to you again!"

Xu Huizhen looked at the mother and daughter. No matter whether they were really fainted or not, they had to be sent to the hospital first. If anything happened here, she would be in the wrong even if she was right.

So she went out and called a tricycle to send the mother and daughter away.

In the original plot, Fan Jinyou's mother was indeed ill and had undergone surgery in the hospital, but she could not remember what illness she had. It seems that this matter is really a bit tricky. Fan Jinyou is the only son in the family. If Fan's mother gets anxious because of this matter, it will be very troublesome.

Although Fan Jinyou is the villain in the original plot, this incident alone cannot be used to condemn him. After all, it was an attempted crime and the punishment would not be too severe. If he was not familiar with Chief Song, an irresponsible policeman might have let the case go.

If I hold on to the evidence, I will be driven into a corner and may be attacked. In the original novel, Fan Jinyou is a vindictive person. I am still too weak now.

After Fan's mother came again, Xu Huizhen came to the police station again. She watched Fan Jinyou write a confession, sign his name, and let Director Song sign his name. Only then did she write a letter of forgiveness.

Xu Huizhen put away Fan Jinyou's confession and said, "Fan Jinyou, I'm going to let you go this time. If you repay kindness with enmity in the future, don't blame me for settling old and new accounts together." After saying that, she turned around and walked away with 2.58 million steps.

Xu Huizhen chose to forgive and leave evidence for future use. As for the money on the table, Fan's mother didn't take it when she left, and she didn't rush to give it back, just to teach him a lesson, so that he wouldn't think that she, Xu Huizhen, was easy to bully.

After returning home, Xu Huizhen asked Hu Yingzi: "Xiao Yingzi, what do you think about us getting a dog?"

Hu Yingzi: "Sister Huizhen, why do we need to raise a dog? It only eats but doesn't lay eggs. Why don't we raise two hens?"

Xu Huizhen: "Are you stupid? Keeping a dog can help you guard the house!"

Hu Yingzi: "I am here to look after the house, right? I am at home every day and I promise to take good care of the house for you."

Seo Hye Jin…

I really didn't expect that Hu Yingzi was so fierce when she was young that she could even compete with dogs for jobs.

Think about it and forget it. People will not have enough to eat in a few years. If you keep a dog, you will bring hatred to your family. If you are not careful, someone will eat your dog meat.

In the following days, the tavern's business was booming. As a private manager, Manager Cao admired Xu Huizhen, a young woman. She was far-sighted, resourceful, had a thorough understanding of national policies, and was familiar with the operation of the tavern. As an ordinary employee, she was eloquent and warm-hearted. She could easily solve any troubles and disputes in a casual conversation. Manager Cao thought to himself: If Xu Huizhen were a man, she would definitely have a bright future.

At home, Hu Yingzi took care of all the housework, and the small vegetable garden in the yard was well maintained. The tender green seedlings were growing better and better every day. The tomatoes began to bear fruit, and the loofahs and pumpkins at the foot of the wall had begun to climb and bloom.

In her previous life, Xu Huizhen lived in the city for a long time and fell in love with growing flowers and vegetables. She really wanted to have a yard in the city so that she could grow some vegetables when she was free, so that she could kill time and eat green vegetables. Now her wish has come true.

This scene can be composed into a poem:

I have a small courtyard in the city, where I grow flowers and vegetables and live a leisurely life.

Have a drink in the autumn moon and watch the dancing clouds, lie drunk and fall asleep listening to the spring breeze.

Xu Huizhen did not continue to grow vegetables in the vegetable garden in the space. Because the vegetables in the field will soon be on the market, and then the vegetables will be very cheap. So she planted sweet potatoes and radishes.

Sweet potatoes can be eaten as food. Radishes can be pickled. The tavern is so prosperous, and the pickles pickled with the He family's unique secret recipe are very popular. The pickles she made last year must not be enough to sell. So it is necessary to plant some radishes for backup. If it really doesn't work, make more pickled cucumbers this year.
