Siheyuan, my new life

When Liu Dali learned about Yi Zhonghai's plan from his cousin, he immediately fell into deep thought. Although it is said that one should be kind to one's relatives, Liu Dali still felt that it was a bit unethical to do so. After all, he had taken his cousin to ask He Daqing to arrange a job for them. As for the two of them getting together later, it was also a matter of mutual consent. He Daqing did not force him, and He Daqing did not ask for a penny when he arranged the job. Putting himself in his shoes, Liu Dali felt that it would be unlikely for him to leave his family and career to start over in a strange city for a widow.

When Widow Bai saw that her cousin did not immediately speak up to support her, she began to sob and wipe away her tears, and told her cousin in bits and pieces that her brother's wife in her hometown wanted to kick her child out of the house.

Liu Dali couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. To be honest, it wasn't easy for his cousin either, so he advised: "Chunhua, I suggest you discuss it with He Daqing. If it doesn't work out, just bring the children over. The conditions in Beijing are much better than Baoding. Whether it's school or work in the future, it would be best if you can live in Beijing. Especially with He Daqing's conditions, it won't be a problem to support you and your mother. And when the children grow up, He Daqing can help arrange jobs for them and help them get married and start a family."

Widow Bai shook her head helplessly and whispered, "I heard from Yi Zhonghai that He Daqing's mother-in-law is a very powerful person. The old lady publicly said that she would never allow He Daqing to bring other women to live in the main house of the No. 95 courtyard. You have also been to that courtyard. I heard from Yi Zhonghai that the courtyard was originally the private property of the deaf old lady. Later, the deaf old lady donated most of the real estate to the Military Control Commission, leaving behind the main house in the backyard and the main house in the middle courtyard where she lived, which are the houses where He Daqing lives now."

Widow Bai wiped her tears and continued, "It's impossible for He Daqing to marry me in Beijing. So I still want to force He Daqing to go back to Baoding with me. With his cooking skills, it won't be difficult for him to find a job as a chef in Baoding. At worst, I will make it up to him after we get to Baoding."

Liu Dali sighed helplessly, didn't say anything and just nodded.

Seeing that her cousin had agreed to her plan, the White Widow sobbed and said, "Thank you, cousin. Without your help, I really don't know how I would live."

Since they had already decided to use a "honey trap" to force He Daqing to surrender, Liu Dali and Bai Guafu then quietly discussed the specific action plan.

The two of them agreed that as long as Widow Bai made an appointment with He Daqing in the next two days, they would immediately notify Liu Dali, and he would take two friends to hide in Widow Bai's residence in advance. As long as He Daqing and Widow Bai had sex, they would immediately break in and catch him in the act. It is said that they caught an adulterer in bed, so wouldn't He Daqing have to surrender obediently? As long as they forced He Daqing to write a confession, he would have no choice but to follow Widow Bai back to Baoding.

Yesterday, Widow Bai was planning to ask He Daqing to go home for a tryst. After all, she was afraid that the night would be too long and things would get more complicated, so it would be better to take He Daqing down as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, He Daqing had brought his son to work at the factory for the first day. He also had an important reception at noon and a visit to Director Lin in the evening. He had no time to pay attention to the White Widow, which helped him escape a disaster.

After arriving at the cafeteria this morning, Widow Bai was preparing to wash the vegetables needed for lunch with her colleagues as usual. As soon as she sat on the stool, she heard the old ladies talking about what happened in the courtyard of No. 95 last night, especially when they mentioned He Daqing's name. Widow Bai immediately concentrated and listened carefully.

On the way to work at the steel rolling mill just now, Widow Bai's mind was full of thoughts about how to make an appointment with He Daqing and successfully achieve her goal, so she didn't pay any attention to the discussions of passers-by around her.

And to avoid trouble, the White Widow never paid any attention to those guys who deliberately approached her on the street. She was not an innocent girl, so how could she not know what those guys with green eyes and lustful brains were planning?

Those guys wanted to take advantage of her, and there was no way they wanted to pursue her sincerely. The White Widow wanted a man who could help her support her family. She didn't want to waste her feelings by flirting with these guys. Moreover, if she got entangled with such people, it would definitely ruin her reputation and affect her relationship with He Daqing. After all, no man would watch his woman flirt with other men.

When Widow Bai heard from the old ladies around her what happened in the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, of course, this was the so-called "truth" that had gone through several layers of processing.

Widow Bai's heart sank. It was not that she was worried about He Daqing, but after hearing about Yi Zhonghai's scandal, combined with her own experience with him, she was secretly wary of that seemingly honest guy. As for whether Yi Zhonghai was dead or alive, Widow Bai didn't care at all. She was afraid that it would affect her own plans.

Just when the white widow was feeling uneasy, a voice came from the back kitchen door: "Chunhua, Bai Chunhua."

When Widow Bai heard the sound, she looked and saw her cousin Liu Dali standing at the door. She quickly stood up and hurried over.

Liu Dali did not speak, but motioned his cousin to follow him to a corner away from the kitchen. He glanced around and found no one nearby. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Chunhua, have you heard about Yi Zhonghai's incident?"

Widow Bai nodded in confusion and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, what does Yi Zhonghai's accident have to do with us? Why should we care about him?"

Liu Dali glared at his cousin and continued, "Whether Yi Zhonghai lives or dies has nothing to do with me, but you don't think about it. This guy just gave you advice to deal with He Daqing, and he was immediately ruined by He Daqing. In addition, several senior technicians in our fitter workshop have said that anyone who dares to associate with Yi Zhonghai in the future will be expelled from the school immediately. You should know that almost all the technicians in our fitter workshop are the disciples of these senior technicians, and I am no exception. There are also several who were taught by Jia Fugui. In fact, strictly speaking, Yi Zhonghai can also be regarded as Jia Fugui's apprentice. Yi Zhonghai actually had an affair with Jia Fugui's widow after Jia Fugui died of a work-related injury. This is simply shameless. So now the senior technicians in several fitter workshops of the steel rolling mill have reached a consensus to completely ban Yi Zhonghai."

Seeing that his cousin still had a confused expression, Liu Dali could only continue: "I say that you women have long hair and short knowledge, but you still don't accept it. You just listened to other people's nonsense this morning. Didn't you hear anything important from it?"

The White Widow frowned and thought carefully about everything she had heard this morning. After a while, she shook her head helplessly. It was obvious that even after racking her brains, she still couldn't find anything unusual.
