After Jia Zhang's exaggerated description, the neighbors were all indignant. "I never thought that the third uncle would be such a person. He is a teacher!"

"That's right. How can such a person educate children?"

"I think he must be caught!"

"That's right, he must be exposed to the public, otherwise I will feel sick every time I think about it."

…The neighbors were all denouncing Yan Bugui. Yi Zhonghai thought the time had come, and he clapped his hands with a serious expression, “Don’t worry, everyone. I know nothing about this matter.”

"But since Jia Zhang filed a real-name complaint, he must have some ulterior motive."

"Wait for Yan Bugui to come over and ask him to give an explanation."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the neighbors all nodded. At this moment, no one wanted to rush back to cook. They just wanted to see how Yan Bugui would defend himself.

At this time, Yan Bugui had no idea that he had been framed. The whole family sat around the table enjoying the food, all of them very happy.

He Yuzhu looked at their happy expressions and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Suddenly, the system prompt sounded in his heart. "Ding! New task issued: Take Jia Zhang to labor camp within 24 hours."

Hearing the latest instructions from the system, He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what it meant.

Send Jia Zhang to labor reform? What is this old woman going to do? He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a little interested in this.

He knew very well that although Jia Zhangshi sometimes acted out of line, she was the apple of Yi Zhonghai's eye.

It is not easy to send Jia Zhang to labor reform. In other words, Jia Zhang's movement this time must be quite big.

After the group had eaten and drunk their fill and Tianxianglou was ready to close, He Yuzhu and Yan Bugui's family returned to the courtyard with laughter.

The end of the year is approaching and the temperature outside is extremely low. Neighbors and family members are waiting to see whether Yan Bugui will return. Everyone is shivering in the cold wind, and their resentment towards him deepens.

Because the three aunts have to take care of several children, their pace of returning home is a little slower than that of Yan Bugui and He Yuzhu.

When she saw Yan Bugui entering the yard, Jia Zhang ran over quickly. "Yan Bugui is back, don't let him get away!"

As for He Yuzhu, Jia Zhang ignored him, as if he did not exist outside her plan.

He Yuzhu worked at Tianxianglou, and there was nothing unusual about him going home with Yan Bugui.

At Jia Zhang's command, the neighbors immediately surrounded Yan Bugui, as if they were really worried that he would escape.

Even the three aunts who tried to approach with their children were stopped by the crowd outside.

Because of the rich dishes tonight, Yan Bugui drank a few more cups, but in front of so many people, he gradually sobered up. "Jia Zhang, why don't you go home early to rest in the cold winter? What do you want to do with so many people around me?"

He said.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang snorted coldly, her eyes showing arrogance. "Yan Bugui, confess honestly, did you mess around in Tianxiang Tower today? If you are willing to confess the truth, we will deal with it in the yard and no longer humiliate you publicly."

But if he refused, she warned, "Otherwise, don't blame us for reporting this to the Military Control Commission. Then you won't suffer so easily."

Yan Bugui was confused at this time. He admitted that he had been to Tianxianglou, but how could they have a relationship? Besides, his salary was meager and he could barely afford food and clothing, so how could he have the energy to mess around?

He Yuzhu now knew what Jia Zhang was planning, and her actions were truly admirable.

He Yuzhu didn't know why she put the blame on Yan Bugui, but he understood that such a misunderstanding was enough to ruin the Yan family's good fortune.

He also remembered that Jia Zhang had tried to seize their family's property.

Even if Yan Bugui got into trouble, would Jia Zhang really give up this fat piece of meat? Those properties originally belonged to the Yan family, how could she let them go? After realizing this, He Yuzhu began to think about how to deal with Jia Zhang.

Even though He Yuzhu was not involved in this incident, he invited them to his home after all.

Let’s see if Jia Zhang still dares to cause trouble for him, so he might as well take the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

So, he spoke before Yan Bugui was about to explain.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what you have done is of great importance and is by no means a trivial matter.

As long as there is solid evidence, Yan Bugui will definitely not escape the law.”

He deliberately mentioned the issue of evidence, seemingly inadvertently hurting Jia Zhang.

She originally expected to gain something by exposing the truth, but He Yuzhu's hint made her realize that she couldn't let this opportunity slip away easily.

Hearing this, Jia Zhang's eyes flickered, and she was very interested in the "evidence".

He was not worried about the things that happened, but was secretly planning.

It was her regret that she didn't get the He family's things last time, and she would never let them go this time. "That's right, go to the Military Control Commission and sue him!"

She ordered quickly.

In this era of simple folk customs, people especially hate messy relationships between men and women.

The crowd in the yard was so angry that someone immediately found a few soldiers to inform the Military Control Commission.

When the soldiers arrived at the scene, they nodded to He Yuzhu, and then turned to Jia Zhang to ask for details.

Hearing that Jia Zhang had personally reported Yan Bugui, everyone looked at him with stern faces, but the case had to be handled according to the facts, so they still asked Jia Zhang: "Since you reported it under your real name, what evidence do you have? Please show it to us."

At this moment, Jia Zhang was fearless and walked towards Yan Bugui with a proud look on her face: "Answer me, Yan Bugui, did you really go to Tianxianglou for dinner today?"

Her words were like a sharp needle, causing an uproar in the crowd and making people feel complicated. He Yuzhu was silently wondering why he wanted to get involved in this trouble.

But Yan Bugui was upright and not afraid. He nodded calmly and responded: "Yes, we did have dinner at Tianxianglou today."

However, "But even so, does dining at Tianxianglou mean that one is not innocent?"

He asked rhetorically.

If your inference is true, doesn't that mean that everyone who eats at Tianxianglou has an improper relationship? Following Yan Bugui's remarks, the surrounding neighbors were all stunned.

Originally, they were all convinced that with the determination of Jia Zhang and the support of the whole academy meeting of Yi Zhonghai, there must be facts sufficient to prove it.

So I didn't ask any more questions.

Now, Jia Zhang's so-called "evidence"

Yan Bugui had actually dined at Tianxianglou? Everyone thought it was unbelievable, like a joke.

The neighbors' eyes were focused on Jia Zhang, but she showed no sign of being nervous. "It's normal for others to dine at Tianxianglou, but it's different for you!"

Her words became more and more confident.

She went on: "Yan Bugui's monthly salary is less than 20 yuan, and a meal at Tianxianglou costs nearly 100 yuan. How can he afford such a consumption? It is obvious that he is out looking for prostitutes and spending money generously, and he treated us to a feast in such a place."

She questioned his clear intention of spending money in the private room, "Otherwise why would he choose the private room specifically?"

When Jia Zhang said this, she looked confident, as if she saw through everything.

In He Yuzhu's view, this scene seemed like traveling back to the setting of an anime from a certain island country in the future, but Jia Zhang was not an elementary school student after all, and her words were not groundless.

At first, the three aunts were a little confused about the military officer in charge, but now they know the clues.

Jia Zhang's slander of her partner made everyone furious. She squeezed out from behind the crowd and stared at Jia Zhang fiercely: "Jia Zhang, don't try to mislead others with your dirty words."

"In the cold winter, the whole family sits around the table at Tianxianglou for dinner. Would we choose to sit in the deserted hall and suffer the cold?"

The aunt questioned, showing the leftovers of the packed meal to hint at her innocence, "It's a joke that a family eating out turns into a man-woman entanglement."

Hearing this, the neighbors' eyes fell on the food box in the aunt's hand and several children's coats stained with oil, and they all nodded in agreement.

Jia Zhang was speechless for a moment, the situation was not favorable to her.

She was terrified by the evidence she had mistakenly given, but she couldn't let Yan Bugui off easily: "Your whole family spends money in luxurious places, where did you get so much wealth? You must have done something illegal."

Her words were so intimidating that she seemed to be in control of the situation.

Even if Yan Bugui had no private feelings, he couldn't get away with it - because his rejection of her was his Achilles' heel.

This matter cannot be clarified and there is no room for appropriate interpretation.

Jia Zhang felt she had won.

Witnessing this, He Yuzhu decided that it was time to interrupt and ease the situation: "Jia Zhang, I think you misunderstood.

Today we are inviting your uncle's family to a dinner, and this is a receipt issued that day."

After saying that, he showed the meal ticket he had just obtained from the counter. The soldier of the Military Control Commission took it and checked it. Seeing that it was indeed for that day, his doubts were immediately dispelled.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, everyone around him envied Yan Bugui.

After all, Tianxiang Tower is a luxury for most of them.

The 40-year-old uncle actually invited the 3rd uncle's family to dinner? How generous!

Jia Zhang was dumbfounded again after hearing this, and was even more indignant. "Why was your Yan Bugui invited, but ours was left out?"

"You have to give us an explanation for this!"

She questioned, unwilling to be outdone.

Facing Jia Zhang's unreasonable behavior, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do I need your permission to treat everyone to a meal with my own money?"

He added, "My uncle taught my brothers and sisters their lessons, and my aunt also made clothes for us. Why can't I treat him to a meal to express my gratitude? What does this have to do with you?"

"Jia Zhang, you should take care of yourself first.

False accusations are against the law.”

After hearing this, Yan Bugui's mind brightened, and he suddenly understood why He Yuzhu had remained silent before and instead instigated the call of the Military Control Commission, because this was an act targeting Jia Zhang.

The neighbors also understood that it was not as they thought that the Jia family intended to occupy the He family.

However, despite this, some people were still worried and did not dare to anger He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu's desire for revenge is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Only Yi Zhonghai was panicking. He had taken advantage of the He family before. Now that Jia Zhang was in trouble, would Jia Dongxu hate him? Maybe even his retirement plan was no longer guaranteed. He might not even have time to hide from his debts.

He knew that Jia Zhang was indeed at fault, but he still spoke brazenly, "Zhu Zi, it's not that serious.

It was just a misunderstanding after all.

Let’s just talk about it in private.”

Yi Zhonghai's partial words made He Yuzhu almost laugh to tears. His position was too clear, and he did not hide his bias towards the Jia family. "Yi Zhonghai, your position as the master of the compound is based on respect.

But you are just an ordinary worker after all. How dare you interfere in legal matters? Is the law inferior to you? "

Faced with the blame, Yi Zhonghai's face turned red but he was speechless. He knew that no matter what he said, it would not change the current situation. Instead, it would make the situation worse and might even drag himself into the quagmire.

Who would have thought that the usually dull Sha Zhu could be so eloquent?

The military control committee members all nodded in agreement: "Jia Zhang's arbitrary accusation of collusion is indeed a bad thing.

He now needs to be brought back for investigation.”

Seeing Jia Zhang panicking, she shouted, "No, you can't arrest me!"

"This is all He Yuzhu's fault. If he had also invited me to dinner, this wouldn't have happened."

"Go get him!"

"Master, please save me!"

No matter how much Jia Zhang begged, there was no response.

Now Yi Zhonghai is afraid that he will be implicated, and is also worried that He Yuzhu will say something unfavorable to him.

At this moment, he just wanted to become invisible, so how could he speak for Jia Zhang?

After Jia Zhang was taken away, the courtyard gradually became quiet. The neighbors looked at He Yuzhu with a little awe, and then left one after another.

Only Yi Zhonghai's eyes, when he looked at He Yuzhu, seemed to reveal that he knew everything.

After everyone left, He Yuzhu looked at Yan Bugui, a little embarrassed. "Third Uncle, look at what has happened... I wanted to treat you to a meal, but it turned out like this."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui laughed and shook his head, saying, "Zhuzi, these are all the work of Jia Zhang, what has it got to do with you? Besides, today we are really grateful for your help.

Now that Jia Zhang has been taken away, I feel much more at ease."

"Okay, you two should go home quickly. It's really cold in winter. Go and have a rest."

After they finished talking, they went back separately.

He Yuzhu didn't pay much attention to the other supplies in the reward, because since he started working in Tianxianglou, he had no shortage of food.

But a complete set of teaching materials aroused his interest. Could it be to prepare me for the college entrance examination? However, before he traveled through time, he had enough knowledge, so there was really no need to go back to the old ways.

He Yuzhu was a little confused about this. Since it was a gift from the system, maybe it could be useful to him.

So he decided to find some free time to look through it.

Even if it does not provide any substantial help, it can be used as a tool to kill time and review what you have learned.

After putting the textbooks into the system space, He Yuzhu and He Yushui washed up and rested.

Although she was frightened because she came back very late last time at the military control meeting, she has gradually gotten used to sleeping alone.

This is a good thing for both of them, after all, sleeping in the same bed for too long is not a long-term solution.

The next morning, He Yuzhu sent He Yushui to Yan Bugui's home before rushing to the workplace.

When he saw Master Zhao, he walked forward with a smile on his face.

"Master, the New Year is coming soon, why don't you come to my house for a reunion this year?"

After hearing this, Master Zhao was stunned, with disbelief in his eyes.

He has no home, and the New Year is often the most painful time for him. The feeling of loneliness is not pleasant, and of course he hopes to have someone to accompany him.

Normally speaking, since He Yuzhu became his apprentice, it was normal for them to celebrate the New Year together.

But he never thought that there would be such an invitation, because He Yuzhu was not his student, and he did not help much in Tianxiang Tower.

He Yuzhu had no idea what Master Zhao was thinking, and he just guessed that he might not have understood it at the time.

"Master, I am alone at home now and there is no one around. You will be lonely and bored if you celebrate the holidays by yourself."

"This New Year, you can come to my house. It will be more lively and more fun."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Master Zhao's eyes reddened slightly and he nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah, since we are not too busy now, let's go shopping for New Year's goods together."

"I'll pack it for you before you get off work."

"I know you're not short of money, but don't fight with me for this good thing."

Master Zhao enthusiastically took the stunned He Yuzhu out to buy New Year's goods. He Yuzhu felt a little confused.

In his opinion, is it necessary to be so excited just to care for and look after lonely old people like he did in his previous life?

Master Zhao's wife and children died in the war, he was also a miserable person.

Their relationship has always been good, and it is normal for them to take care of each other.

However, since Master Zhao took the initiative to propose this, it was difficult for him to refuse. He could only think of giving some more gifts after the New Year.

Because the temperature is low in winter, it is like a natural warehouse where a lot of things can be stored without worrying about them being damaged.

The two of them bought a lot of goods in the market and were returning to Tianxianglou when they suddenly heard a gunshot.

The two men couldn't help but pause.

Although the People's Republic of China was established not long ago, He Yuzhu, although young, could recognize the sound. "Master, where did the gunshot come from?"

He asked worriedly, and Master Zhao's face suddenly became tense.

"These things have nothing to do with us ordinary people. It's important to go home quickly!"

After hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded.

But just as they were about to turn around, they saw two running figures suddenly appear at the entrance of the alley in the distance, and their speed increased after they fired.

Then, the pursuers approached quickly from behind.

"Stop!"

One of the pursuers shouted, but the escapee simply ignored him and sped forward.

Witnessing this scene, He Yuzhu's expression became serious: "Not good, they might be enemy agents, we must not let them escape!"

After saying that, he dropped the things in his hand and handed them to Master Zhao, then immediately caught up with the two men.

Although he didn't know much about the background of this era, he understood that the struggle between the enemy and us was raging in the underground world.

Many enemies lurked in the city, attempting to cause destruction, and Beiping (now Beijing, the former Soviet Union) was undoubtedly the most active place.
