Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

The Sunset Empire was helpless now. They had already exposed their nuclear bombs, so why would they fight back? Did they have to try their luck? So the Sunset Empire took the initiative to negotiate with China on the ownership of Hong Kong.

Even Big Brother was very happy, saying that Singapore was the backbone of the red camp and that this move had greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of Western countries. For this reason, he also provided Singapore with a large amount of financial and technical assistance.

When the news of the Sunset Empire's request for negotiations spread back to the country, the whole country celebrated, and even the leaders were very happy.

"No wonder he said when he left that the children were taken away and he wanted to bring them all back."

"Mr. Xu has really made a great contribution to the country this time."

"Then how should we reward them?"

"They have already established their own country. Why should we reward them? We should send more soldiers over there. The situation over there is a bit chaotic. A war may break out at any time."

"Well, the population there is relatively small after all. Although the weapons and equipment are relatively advanced, there is still a lack of soldiers with high military literacy."

"Then select more people from the reservists and veterans, but it must be completely voluntary."

"Okay, let's do it."

"Who is better to go for the negotiation?"

"It's such an important matter, so I, the minister, should go."

"Well, I feel more at ease if Lao Chen goes."

Siheyuan.

Qin Huairu felt heartbroken as she watched her two daughters' bodies begin to fester. Before the New Year of 1967, she discovered something was wrong when she was bathing her two daughters. Red spots appeared on their arms.

Qin Huairu was shocked. This was exactly the same as what happened to Jia Zhangshi at the beginning. She was terrified and asked her two daughters. Only then did she know that when Jia Zhangshi was alive, she often asked the two children to scratch her back. It must have been at that time that she got infected.

Qin Huairu felt hopeless for a moment. She herself was in such a miserable state, so how could her two daughters not be spared? No, she had to treat the children no matter how much it cost.

So Qin Huairu hurriedly took her two daughters to the hospital. After some examination, it was confirmed that Xiaodang and Huaihua's symptoms were exactly the same as Jia Zhang's. However, because it was indirectly transmitted, the symptoms were much milder. Infusion and drug treatment together should be able to suppress the disease, reduce the frequency of attacks, and relieve pain and itching.

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth. She only had these two daughters, and nothing could happen to them again. So she made up her mind and took out her savings to pay for her two daughters' treatment.

So the two children had to have intravenous drips once a month, and they also had to apply ointments and take medicines on a regular basis. The expenses made Qin Huairu feel a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, she not only had some savings of her own, but also the pension money that Jia Zhang gave her before she died. In addition to her work and the allowance from her children, she was able to hold on.

However, Qin Huairu was pregnant with a bastard whose father she didn't know. As the months passed, her belly grew bigger and bigger, and she gradually could no longer take care of her two daughters. So she thought of going back to her parents' home to bring her mother over to take care of the children.

So Qin Huairu bought some things and went back to her parents' home. It happened that she didn't go back to her parents' home during the first month of the lunar year. After all, she was asking her mother for help. If she went home empty-handed, it would be strange if her sister-in-law would be happy.

But when Qin Huairu just arrived at the door of her house, she saw her sister-in-law and her mother standing in the yard, and her mother was holding a basin of water in her hand.

Qin Huairu was a little surprised. Although there was not much farm work in the fields just after the New Year, she would not be so idle. Usually, she would use her free time to do housework and mend shoe soles. "Mom, I'm back."

Qin Huairu had no idea that as soon as she came back and greeted the militia standing guard at the village entrance, someone saw her back and had already gone to her house to report the news in advance.

"You still have the nerve to come back? Go away. Neither your family nor the village welcomes you. I will just pretend that I don't have a daughter like you." After saying that, Miao Cuilan poured the water in the basin in front of Qin Huairu.

Although she felt a little sad when she saw her daughter's face wrapped in a scarf, she had to do it. Her daughter had done such a shameless thing, and if they continued to have contact with her, it would bring shame to the entire family and the village.

If Qin Huairu, a daughter of a slut, appeared in Qinjia Village, outsiders would think that the village was not upright. Then the men in the village would not be able to find wives, and the girls would not be able to get married. There would be no place for her family in the entire Qinjia Village.

"Mom, why are you talking like that? Let me in first. We can talk about it when we get home."

"What are you talking about? Do you think we don't know what you have done? You'd better leave now. I will pretend that I don't have a daughter like you!" Qin's father came out from the inner room wearing a somewhat worn cotton coat.

Qin Huairu's face turned pale. Could it be that the news of her having an affair had spread to the village? Was it Qin Jingru who said it, or was it someone in the village who heard about it while doing business in the city?

Qin Huairu really guessed this thing. The whole village, the whole commune and even other nearby communes knew about the bad things she had done.

However, this was not what Qin Jingru said or what the villagers knew, but it was the news that Xu Damao spread through his apprentice to the projectionists.

The projectionist of the steel mill often went to the countryside to show movies. It was normal for him to chat with his acquaintances, right? It was also normal for him to mention that Qin Huairu was having an affair, right? In this way, the news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon almost everyone in the commune knew the news.

"Dad, Mom, can't you forgive me just once? I was forced to do this." Qin Huairu cried, covering her face.

At this time, the news that Qin Huairu had returned spread throughout the entire Qinjia Village, and everyone at home came out to watch the fun.

Qin's father, Qin Dashan, took out a dry cigarette and rolled it, puffing on it without saying a word. Miao Cuilan also turned her head away from Qin Huairu, while her sister-in-law looked at her with resentment.

Qin Changgui, the village chief of Qinjia Village, also came out. "Huai Ru, I watched you grow up, but what you did this time was really... You should go back. I have secretly discussed with several elders and expelled you from the family tree. In other words, you are no longer a member of our Qinjia Village."

Qin Huairu didn't expect that she had been expelled from the family tree. This was a very serious punishment for a person. It meant that even if she had a home in the future, it would be difficult for her to return, because there was no such person as her in Qinjia Village.

No one knew who started it, but in the end, everyone in Qinjia Village shouted at her to get out of the village.

Qin Huairu was heartbroken. Now her parents disowned her and everyone in the village wanted to drive her away. Her last way of retreat was cut off!

Qin Huairu knew she had to leave, so she knelt down and kowtowed three times to her parents, "Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial daughter and have brought shame to you. I will repay you for your kindness in raising me in my next life."

After Qin Huairu kowtowed, she stood up and walked out of the village, feeling a chill in her heart.
