Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Qin Huairu originally thought that after her mother-in-law went to jail, her life would be better and she would no longer be a bullied daughter-in-law.

But things went against our wishes. Not only did life not become easier, but it became even more difficult.

Let’s not talk about eating and drinking. It’s useless to talk about it. Just one thing, how can you live if you are always beaten?

Qin Huairu thought about the beatings she had received recently, which was more than she had ever received in her entire life.

She could tell from Jia Dongxu's beating that he was no longer the same Jia Dongxu as before, and just now, when he was about to stab her with a knife, Jia Dongxu didn't even say anything, so she needed to take the initiative to explain and then ask for confirmation...

"He doesn't care about my life or death at all..." This thought formed in Qin Huairu's mind, and then she thought of Jia Dongxu's plan, "It seems that he not only doesn't care about my life or death, but also the life or death of everyone. He only cares about himself. He doesn't want the child or the mother anymore. He should be running away. Oh, right, let's see if the things are still there."

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu jumped up, ran to the corner, and pried open the floor tile that was about to be patinated.

Jia Dongxu thought that the place where he hid things was very secretive and no one knew about it. But in fact, Qin Huairu had already known about it but just didn't move.

That day, Jia Dongxu brought back the money and noodles. Later, Qin Huairu opened the treasure chest when no one was at home and saw the gold bars, so she didn't doubt it at all when Yi Zhonghai said that.

Qin Huairu pried open the floor tiles, took out Jia Dongxu's iron box and opened it. There was no doubt that it was empty. Not only the gold bars were gone, but even the few banknotes that had been hidden there were gone.

Jia Dongxu didn't leave a penny for Qin Huairu.

"Haha, hahaha, he really took it away." Seeing the empty box, Qin Huairu suddenly laughed and said to herself a little crazily, "We have been married for so many years and gave birth to two children for him, but he didn't care about our relationship at all..."

Thinking about the past few years, Qin Huairu felt very pitiful.

Yes, it's pitiful.

In the past, most of her pitifulness in the courtyard was fake, to gain sympathy.

Not anymore. She suddenly realized that although she was the envy of every household in the village, she was actually nothing.

Not to mention compared with Zeng Wangcai's girlfriend Zhang Xiuzhi, even compared with Qin Jingru who came later, he was far behind.

After sitting in the corner for a while, Qin Huairu was struggling dejectedly when Xiaodang on the bed began to cry.

Hearing the child crying, Qin Huairu became strong and seemed to have made up her mind.

She got up, picked up Xiaodang, went to the outer room to get the thermos and poured some warm water into it, coaxed Xiaodang to drink it, and coaxed her to sleep.

Afterwards, she woke up Banggeng and told him to take good care of his sister as she was going out. She also told Banggeng not to tell anyone and if anyone asked, he should say that he was at home today.

After settling down at home, Qin Huairu put on a thick coat full of patches and turned out a hat that was only used in winter and put it on.

After everything was ready, Qin Huairu went out and walked firmly towards the steel mill in the dark night.

When she arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill, Qin Huairu knew she couldn't get in, so she knocked directly on the glass of the guard room.

At this time, Zhao Hongqing had already reorganized the security department and replaced key positions with trustworthy people.

Inside the communication room, two comrades from the security department were talking energetically and on guard.

"Comrade, what are you doing here at this time?" asked the younger one of the two men, while the older one had already touched the handle of May Fourth.

They were quite alert and noticed Qin Huairu before she got close, but they just pretended to be the same as usual.

How could it not be suspicious if a person whose face could not be seen came over in the dead of night?

"I'm looking for someone!" Qin Huairu said calmly.

She didn't look up, a little worried that she would be remembered.

"Looking for someone?" The two comrades became more alert. The man touching the gun handle said, "It's not the right time to look for someone. There's no one in the factory. Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"I'm really looking for someone!" Qin Huairu still lowered her head, "I'm looking for Zeng Wangcai. I have something very important to tell him. Please tell him. He will definitely come to see me."

"Do you know Zeng Wangcai?" The older man's expression changed slightly. "Wait a moment, stay here and don't move."

As he spoke, he asked his colleague to look after Qin Huairu while he went to the side and answered the phone. After reporting the situation, he began a long wait.

About half an hour later, the phone rang and someone asked them to keep an eye on Qin Huairu.

After a while, Zhang Xiuzhi came out of the factory alone.

Seeing Zhang Xiuzhi, Qin Huairu said directly without waiting for Zhang Xiuzhi to speak: "He's back!"

Qin Huairu knew that if Jia Dongxu had any questions, Zhang Xiuzhi would definitely understand.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiuzhi guessed who "he" was.

A few minutes later, the two were walking on the dark road of the steel mill.

Zhang Xiuzhi, holding a flashlight, asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to see Brother Wangcai and ask him to make the decision on this matter." Qin Huairu said with a sad smile, "Our family has no way to survive. I only believe that Brother Wangcai can help me."

Her subtext is, I have requests, but I won’t tell you because I don’t trust you.

Before deciding to find Zeng Wangcai, Qin Huairu thought of other options, such as going to find Yi Zhonghai, but she eventually gave up the idea.

She felt that Yi Zhonghai could not meet her requirements, and even if Yi Zhonghai could do it, she did not trust Yi Zhonghai.

The former uncle’s personality has only recently collapsed, but Qin Huairu has always known what kind of person he is.

Simply put, she didn't trust Yi Zhonghai.

Zhang Xiuzhi nodded without saying anything else and took Qin Huairu directly to the security department's duty room.

Just now, Zhang Xiuzhi had been patrolling with the patrol team with Zhao Hongqing, and told Zeng Wangcai about the situation through the communicator.

When she received the notice, Zhang Xiuzhi told Zeng Wangcai. Just now, she found an opportunity to tell Zeng Wangcai that the visitor was Qin Huairu. Zeng Wangcai asked her to bring Qin Huairu here.

"Sister-in-law Qin, why are you here in the middle of the night..."

Zeng Wangcai and Xiaobao had just returned from the water tower.

"Jia Dongxu is back, and he brought someone with him. An old man said that Jia Dongxu was doing bad things..." Qin Huairu's face was full of sadness and entanglement. She said that Jia Dongxu was back, but she didn't say any other useful information. She deliberately emphasized, "What should we do? Our family has no way to survive. If Jia Dongxu really did something that let the country down and was arrested, how would the three of us live in the future?"

This woman has transformed. I don't know what happened to her, but she has started to transform into the character in the original novel...

Zeng Wangcai looked at Qin Huairu, whose face was pale with fright, and felt deeply moved.

After arriving at the courtyard and seeing the characters of the birds, Zeng Wangcai felt that these people were different from those in the original work, especially Qin Huairu.

In the original novel, there was nothing Qin Huairu dared not or was unwilling to do for the sake of her child, but Qin Huairu here is not like that. She seems to have a very low sense of presence, and all the limelight has been snatched away by Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu.

"Sister Qin, speak slowly. When did Jia Dongxu come back? Who followed him? Why did he come back? Did he say anything?" Zeng Wangcai asked a series of questions.

Qin Huairu didn't seem to hear Zeng Wangcai's question, and kept muttering: "What should we do, brother Wangcai? If something happens to Dongxu, how will our family survive..."
