Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

When watching TV, Qin Zheng admired Chen Xueru very much. She is a real strong woman who is as capable as any man!

Not everyone can be the owner of a prosperous silk shop. Even her brother couldn't take over the business, but she was able to make it flourish. It would have been impossible without great wisdom. Moreover, she was quick in doing things and speaking, and was an absolute person who knew how to deal with people. She was a very cultured woman.

From the beginning to the end, Chen Xueru has never deviated from her attitude of abiding by rules and being sensible. She has never been a pushover and has her own ideas about who to help and who not to help.

Life cannot be perfect. Unfortunately, this girl has met the wrong people many times, has very poor judgment in men, and has an extremely bumpy love life.

Her first husband abandoned her and immigrated abroad, her second husband took away all the property, and her third husband was a calculating, face-conscious, narrow-minded, and selfish man.

Even after experiencing many pains and setbacks, she was not defeated. Instead, she quickly picked herself up, walked out of the haze, and bravely embraced new love and life.

In the drama, when she encounters bad things, she accepts, deals with, and lets go of them. She accepts all the good things and enjoys the present moment. Qin Zheng believes that such a woman deserves better love and life.

“Maybe, I’m here just to save you.”

Inside the police station.

The two gangsters were killed as soon as they entered the interrogation room. The reason for the incident made the police laugh and cry, and it was very dramatic.

The case was serious, but the details were simple.

It turned out that this kidnapping was a setup by Hou Ming, Chen Xueru's suitor. They played the role of criminals, and Hou Ming then acted as a hero to save the beauty in the hope of winning her heart.

Soon, Hou Ming was summoned to the police station by the public security officers. If Qin Zheng was here, he would recognize that this person was the young man who left.

At ten o'clock in the evening, a guest came to the Chen family. Then, Chen Xueru followed Chen's father to the police station very unhappily.

"Hou Ming, it turns out you are the worst person!"

Although she already knew that it was Hou Ming's setup before she came, Chen Xueru was still furious when she saw him. She wanted to kick him to death. What a piece of shit.

"Xue Ru, please believe me. I really have no bad intentions and I don't want to do anything to you."

Chen Xueru was too lazy to argue with him anymore. She followed her father's instructions, signed the letter of understanding and went home.

There was no way out. Both the Chen and Hou families were big business families and old friends. They would not become enemies because of this matter. Therefore, not long after Chen Xueru left, Hou Ming also left the police station.

As for the two hooligans, they were unlucky and had to be detained for seven days before they could be released. Alas, it was because they had no money and no power.

It’s actually the same in any era!

If you want fairness, then you can only laugh.

The next day, at 5pm, in front of Quanjude.

Looking at Chen Xueru who was standing at the door to greet him, Qin Zheng couldn't help but marvel at her beauty again.

She was wearing a well-fitting cheongsam, which was explosively sexy. She was really charming and full of aura.

"I'm late, sorry."

The beauty smiled slightly, as beautiful as a peach blossom: "You are not late, you are on time, it is me who came early. Please come in."

After sitting down in the small private room, Qin Zheng said, "Comrade Chen Xueru, I'm sorry to trouble you to spend money today."

"You are my savior, how can you say it's a waste of money? Also, don't call me Comrade Chen Xueru, it seems strange. Just call me Xueru, my family calls me that."

The beauty's eyes seem to be able to speak, her pupils are as clear as water and her tenderness is so tender that it seems to be overflowing with tears.

"Obedience is worse than respect. You can call me Qin Zheng too."

This was indeed the Chen Xueru that Qin Zheng had in mind. She had a lively personality and was efficient in doing things. She was a generous woman with a true nature.

"You are four months older than me. When there are no outsiders around, I will call you Brother Qin Zheng."

"Okay."

Qin Zheng was not surprised that she knew his birthday as it had been published in the newspaper a long time ago.

But this girl also revealed her age in one sentence. She had just turned 17 years old.

"Xue Ru, you are amazing. You are so young, but you can manage a silk shop. It's not easy."

When they were chatting yesterday, Chen Xueru had already told her about her job. Although Qin Zheng already knew it, he still used it to bring up the topic today.

"I have been following my father in business since I was young. I have seen a lot and I have learned it naturally. However, I still have a lot to learn."

Not everyone can be the owner of a silk shop, so it's certainly not as easy as she said.

"Xue Ru, have you been to the police station today? Is there any result?"

Chen Xueru said shyly with a hint of hatred: "It was dealt with last night."

"So fast?"

"Well, those two people were instructed by someone."

"Kidnapping for hire?"

"Yes, the person who ordered them is an old friend of my family and can be considered my suitor."

Chen Xueru's cheeks were flushed, and she looked embarrassed.

Qin Zheng understood and asked tentatively: "You wanted to play the hero and save the beauty, but I got in the way?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "I guessed it. Just after I rescued you, a young man came over in a hurry. When he saw me controlling those two bastards, he hesitated for a moment, turned around and left without saying a word. His expression was not very good."

"I didn't even see it."

Qin Zheng teased, "Yes, you were hugging my legs and crying."

Chen Xueru blushed immediately and said, "I'm scared."

That tone actually had a hint of coquettishness, which made Qin Zheng's heart tremble.

"Understood. What happened next?"

"His father came to my father last night, and my father asked me to sign a letter of apology and let him go."

Qin Zheng nodded and did not complain about the result. After all, this kind of treatment was the norm, and talking about it further would make people uncomfortable.

At this time, the dishes were served.

"Brother Qin Zheng, I ordered two roast ducks and a few side dishes. I wonder if they are enough. If not, let's order more."

Looking at the table full of food, Qin Zheng said, "It's enough. Although I have a big appetite, it's only enough for two adults."

When he was in the army, he, like everyone else, did not have enough to eat. He could only find opportunities to take out food from the space to supplement his nutrition. Occasionally, he would also release some food from captured spoils.

But this situation is very rare. After all, the army is not home where you have your own room, so confidentiality must be done well.

"Brother Qin Zheng, let's have a drink."

Chen Xueru suggested, with two bottles of Moutai at her hands.

"You can drink? Are you not afraid of getting drunk?"

"I'm not looking down on you. I can drink quite a bit. In my free time, I often go to a nearby tavern to have a few drinks."

"Okay, let's drink some then."

Moutai is a good wine. Qin Zheng drank it with his leaders in the military and found it tasted really good. After coming back, he bought a few bottles for his father.

Qin Zheng was very interested in the tavern mentioned by Chen Xueru and had always wanted to find an opportunity to see it.
