Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

At home, Zhang Yuan was talking to Sha Zhu about what happened today. It turned out that Qin Jingru had something to do at her parents' home, so she took her son He Xiao back to her parents' home, leaving Sha Zhu alone at home. Zhang Yuan did not go out because He Yushui and her son were still in the hospital. The two of them decided to have a meal together. At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Then, someone tried to push the door open, but because the door was locked, the outsider could not enter and could only knock on the door again.

"Who is it? They always knock on the door at dinner time. How annoying!" Zhang Yuan muttered to himself. Since he came to this yard, people often come uninvited and break into his house without permission. Especially those beasts in the yard, who break into other people's homes without any scruples. Therefore, Zhang Yuan became more cautious and locked the door every time he went home to prevent people from eavesdropping or peeping.

However, the person outside the door did not respond to Zhang Yuan's inquiry, but continued to knock on the door desperately, as if he would not stop until the door was opened.

"Well, in my opinion, it must be Qin Huairu or Yi Zhonghai. Apart from them, no one else in the yard would do this." Zhang Yuan said to Sha Zhu with a wry smile.

Sha Zhu stood aside, feeling very embarrassed and in a dilemma. Especially when he heard that Bang Geng had returned and once again caused a conflict between the Qin and Yi families, Sha Zhu was still clear-headed and sensible. He thought that Qin Huairu should first take the initiative to bring Bang Geng to Yi Zhonghai's house to admit her mistake, and then discuss how to compensate.

But Zhang Yuan could only shake his head helplessly at Sha Zhu's suggestion. He knew Qin Huairu's character very well. How could she be willing to bear such a huge debt? That was more than 10,000 yuan, and she had no way of repaying it.

The person outside the door seemed determined to fight Zhang Yuan to the end, and he would not give up until he opened the door.

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Zhang Yuan responded loudly with some helplessness.

He hurried to the door, reached out to open it, and what came into his sight was Qin Huairu's familiar yet annoying face.

Seeing Qin Huairu standing at the door of his house, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of bad luck. This woman always had a sad face, as if the whole world owed her something.

"Zhang Yuan, please save my stick. As long as you can get him out, I am willing to kneel down and kowtow to you." As she said this, Qin Huairu made a gesture as if she was about to kneel down.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan quickly stepped aside and replied coldly: "Don't kneel, you've come to the wrong place. You should go to Yi Zhonghai and the aunt. Banggeng stole their money. If you want to save him, you have to go to them to beg for mercy."

Qin Huairu's face turned pale instantly. How could she not go to beg for mercy? Yi Zhonghai even came to her house in person just now, but unfortunately, she didn't have the money to compensate Yi Zhonghai, let alone tens of thousands of yuan. In the end, she could only watch Yi Zhonghai leave, thinking that the matter was over. However, what she never expected was that Yi Zhonghai actually went directly to the police station to report the case and took Banggeng away. If she had known that Yi Zhonghai would be so heartless, she should have coaxed him first, and maybe things would not have developed to this point. But now, the situation is completely beyond her control.

As for Auntie, Qin Huairu couldn't even enter her house, let alone ask for mercy. She knew Auntie's thoughts and felt that she was very innocent. After all, she had never thought of destroying other people's families. It was just because Auntie was in poor health that she couldn't give birth to a big fat boy for Yi Zhonghai. In addition, Yi Zhonghai himself couldn't control his lower body, and he was wishful thinking that she would help him realize his wish. Now that the matter has been exposed, she is blamed. All this makes Qin Huairu feel extremely wronged and helpless.

"I'm thinking that since you, Zhang Yuan, are the leader of the public security department, if you say a word, the police station will definitely agree to release him. Besides, Banggeng is innocent and still a child. Plus, he was abducted for so many years and finally came back, but now he's been taken away again. It's really pitiful. Please, Zhang Yuan, help me bring Banggeng back. I promise to educate him well from now on." Qin Huairu said anxiously, her voice tinged with tears, as if Banggeng had been led into a dangerous place.

Qin Huairu looked at Zhang Yuan anxiously, her eyes full of worry and pleading, tears welling up in her eyes, as if they would fall at any moment. She held Zhang Yuan's hand tightly, as if grasping the last straw, hoping that he could help her find Banggeng.

"Sister Qin, Banggeng was just taken to the police station for questioning. It's no big deal. Just wait at home." Shazhu interrupted, his tone relaxed and casual, as if he didn't think the matter was serious.

However, after hearing what Sha Zhu said, Qin Huairu suddenly turned around, glared at him fiercely, and shouted angrily: "Shut up, Sha Zhu!" Her eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction, and she seemed very dissatisfied with Sha Zhu's attitude.

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu's carefree appearance, and she couldn't help but feel angry. She thought to herself, this Sha Zhu always failed at the critical moment and couldn't help at all. She thought Sha Zhu would say something nice to help persuade Zhang Yuan, but she didn't expect him to be so unreliable, which made her feel very disappointed.

Qin Huairu knew that Banggeng was her dearest and a part of her life. She had been living in pain and longing since Banggeng was abducted. Now that Banggeng had finally returned to her, how could she not be nervous? She was eager to protect Banggeng and prevent him from getting hurt.

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore, okay?" Seeing Qin Huairu looking like she wanted to eat someone, Sha Zhu was so scared that he waved his hands and promised to shut up.

"I still say what I said before. The person who tied the bell must untie it. You should go find Yi Zhonghai and Auntie Yi. As long as you can convince them, Banggeng will be fine."

Zhang Yuan repeated the same words as before. He didn't care whether Qin Huairu understood or not. He still wanted to play dumb. Anyway, Zhang Yuan didn't want to interfere in her and Jia family's affairs at all.

Qin Huairu was dumbfounded. She didn't want to beg them at all. Besides, she had no money to compensate the other party. It was more than ten thousand yuan. Even if she worked herself to death or sold herself, she couldn't come up with that much money.

This made her very embarrassed. If she didn't solve this matter, Banggeng might face serious consequences. However, she didn't know what to do, and her heart was filled with helplessness and anxiety.

"Zhang Yuan, can you help me? I really have no other choice..." Qin Huairu said in a crying voice, with pleading eyes.

Zhang Yuan looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, but when he thought of what the Jia family had done, he immediately gave up the idea.

"Qin Huairu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't do anything about this matter. You should go find Yi Zhonghai and Auntie as soon as possible. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope." Zhang Yuan sighed and said firmly.

Seeing Zhang Yuan's firm attitude, Qin Huairu knew that it would be futile to plead with him. He had made up his mind not to save her. Qin Huairu could only turn around and leave silently. As she walked, she thought about what to do next, feeling helpless and desperate.

Zhang Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Qin Huairu leave. The conversation just now made him very nervous, but now that Qin Huairu had left, he could finally relax. However, Sha Zhu began to question him.

"Brother-in-law, are you really not going to help Sister Qin? I think she is quite pitiful." Sha Zhu's voice was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion.

Zhang Yuan frowned, looked at Sha Zhu, and sighed in his heart. This Sha Zhu was always so naive and could not see the essence of things. He calmly replied: "Brother-in-law, you have to be capable to help."

"Brother-in-law, what you said is meaningless. If you don't have the ability, who does? Aren't you a leader? I made a phone call, but the police station hasn't released Banggeng yet." Sha Zhu didn't believe Zhang Yuan's words at all and continued to question.

Zhang Yuan felt helpless when he saw Sha Zhu was so persistent. He knew that if he didn't explain things clearly, Sha Zhu might keep pestering him. So he decided to tell Sha Zhu the truth.

"Brother-in-law, have you forgotten that Banggeng was taken to the police station because he stole Yi Zhonghai's money. Moreover, this is not a small amount, a full ten thousand yuan! If you encounter this situation, what would you do?" Zhang Yuan asked in a firm tone.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu was stunned. He realized that he had overlooked this important fact and was speechless for a moment. Seeing that Sha Zhu finally understood the seriousness of the problem, Zhang Yuan said nothing more and turned away, leaving Sha Zhu alone to think.

"Of course, we should arrest this brat and beat him up." Sha Zhu said his answer without thinking, then turned around and asked, "What does this have to do with helping Qin Huairu?"

She rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "You haven't figured it out yet! Bang Geng stole the money. If he wants to get out safely, the most basic thing is to compensate Yi Zhonghai and the aunt. However, I have explained it to Qin Huairu twice just now, and I have made it very clear, but Qin Huairu didn't take it to heart at all. Maybe she didn't intend to pay the money at all. If this is the case, do you think Yi Zhonghai will still let the Jia family sleep peacefully every day?"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu frowned, as if he understood something, but still asked with some doubt: "Even if Yi Zhonghai doesn't want the Jia family to have an easy life, what does that have to do with us?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and continued to explain: "Think about it, since Qin Huairu came in to ask for help, has she ever mentioned paying money or thinking about how to compensate others? No, she has no sincerity at all, how can we deal with it."

"Hearing you put it that way, it seems to be true."

Sha Zhu suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly, indicating that he agreed with Zhang Yuan's analysis. But at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these things were so complicated that they gave him a headache.

On the other side, in the backyard, Xiaodang and Huaihua were sitting happily around Xu Damao, their eyes fixed on the food on the table, their mouths watering.

Tonight, Xu Damao prepared a particularly sumptuous dinner, with fragrant chicken and tender and delicious fish. This meal was simply a luxurious feast for Xiaodang and Huaihua.

"Dad Xu, the dishes you cook are so delicious!" Huaihua couldn't wait to take a bite, with a surprised expression on her face, "They're even better than the dishes cooked by Uncle Shazhu. Dad Xu is really great!" Her innocent words made Xu Damao laugh heartily and he felt very happy.

Xiaodang was not to be outdone, and quickly followed suit to flatter him: "Father Xu is the most powerful man in the world, and Sha Zhu is no match for Father Xu at all." As she spoke, she ate her food in big mouthfuls and kept making exclamations of admiration.

Xu Damao was so delighted by the two children that he burst into laughter. He was in a good mood and picked up the chopsticks to pick up a chicken leg for Xiaodang and Huaihua.

"Eat quickly, kids. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Xu Damao said gently.

"Thank you, Dad Xu!" Xiaodang and Huaihua answered in unison, then happily took the chicken leg and began to eat it with relish, as if they had forgotten all their worries.

The three of them sat together like a family, enjoying a warm dinner time.

Xu Damao looked at Xiaodang and Huaihua eating happily, and his heart was filled with happiness.

Just then, Qin Huairu appeared and broke this warmth.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto the bed. Zhang Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched himself and prepared to go out to work. However, when he opened the door, he found Qin Huairu already standing outside, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"Qin Huairu, why are you here again?" Zhang Yuan frowned, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

A hint of cunning flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes. She moved closer to Zhang Yuan and whispered, "Zhang Yuan, I beg you, please help me! Can you please help me this time for the sake of our previous relationship? As long as you agree, I am willing to be your lover..." As she spoke, she cast a coquettish glance at Zhang Yuan with a shy look on her face, as if she had already regarded herself as Zhang Yuan's woman.

Seeing Qin Huairu's pretentious appearance, Zhang Yuan felt a wave of nausea rising in his heart. He laughed coldly and thought, "This woman is really shameless. Does she think anyone can accept me?"

"Get out of here! I won't help you." Zhang Yuan said to Qin Huairu rudely with a gloomy face.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's rejection, Qin Huairu's face turned pale instantly, tears welled up in her eyes. She choked and said, "Zhang Yuan, have you really forgotten the happy times we had together? How can you be so heartless?"

Zhang Yuan sneered and replied disdainfully: "Let the past be the past. It's over between us a long time ago." After that, he no longer paid attention to Qin Huairu and left.

Looking at Zhang Yuan's back, Qin Huairu stamped her feet in anger. She pointed at Zhang Yuan's back and shouted, "Zhang Yuan, just wait. One day, I will make you regret it!"
