Siheyuan: I don't mind if I break up the marriage

"You're welcome, Chief Liu. My name is Jiang Yueshen. I just happened to come here hunting and ran into you guys."

"Since he is a spy, it is my duty to help him."

Jiang Yueshen untied Liu Yuanliang while talking.

After they untied him, they discovered that Liu Yuanliang had suffered a severe gunshot wound in the abdomen, and he grimaced in pain.

"This spy is sending important intelligence in our area. I have received an order from my superiors to lead a group to destroy him."

"I didn't expect this guy to be so cunning. After he beat me up, I ended up being his hostage."

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be killed by this guy."

It is not difficult to see that Liu Yuanliang was still afraid, and he really saved his life this time.

Jiang Yueshen dug out a rope used to tie up wild boars and tied up the spy tightly.

"Director Liu, I also need to go down the mountain. Let me take you down."

Liu Yuanliang grimaced in pain, and Jiang Yueshen just happened to suggest that they go down the mountain together, which was exactly what he wanted.

Soon, Jiang Yueshen escorted the spy and helped Director Liu to the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the police at the foot of the mountain were already on standby with live ammunition, but they were afraid that the spy would become desperate and shoot Liu Yuanliang.

That's why they surrounded the entire mountain and didn't dare to rush into the mountain to rescue.

After seeing Jiang Yueshen and others, the police comrades rushed forward.

"Captain, are you injured? Are you okay?"

"Captain, hold on, the medical staff are on the scene and will bandage you to stop the bleeding immediately."

At this time, Liu Yuanliang's wife, Director Wang from the Nanluoguxiang Sub-district Office, also ran over.

"Lao Liu, how come you are so badly injured? Are you okay? Woo woo woo..."

When Director Wang heard that her husband was held hostage by spies, she insisted on coming down the mountain to wait for news, and she fainted from crying several times during that time.

"I'm fine, don't worry, this young man saved me."

At this time, someone in the crowd saw the spy and exclaimed, "Director! You are so amazing! You were so badly injured, but you still caught the spy!"

"Yes, Director, you are amazing. You are worthy of being our director. Our institute has made great contributions!"

A group of people were chattering and praising, obviously very excited.

Liu Yuanliang added: "I didn't catch the spy, but Comrade Xiao Jiang did."

"My life was also saved by Comrade Xiao Jiang. If it weren't for him, I would have died by now."

All the police officers looked at Jiang Yueshen in unison, their eyes full of respect.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, thank you so much. Not only did you save our director's life, you also performed a great deed."

"Yes, yes. Thank you, thank you."

Soon, the spy was put into a car and taken away, and Liu Yuanliang was also put on a stretcher and prepared to be sent to the hospital for treatment.

Before leaving, Liu Yuanliang specifically told Director Wang, "Xiuying, you must thank Comrade Xiao Jiang for me."

"When I am better, I will come to thank you in person."

"Okay, I get it. You should go to the hospital and see your doctor as soon as possible," said Director Wang.

After seeing off the police station comrades, Director Wang expressed his gratitude: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, thank you so much for saving my family's Lao Liu's life."

"Otherwise...I really don't know how to live the rest of my life." Director Wang wiped away his tears again.

"It's just a coincidence, Director Wang. Besides, catching spies is everyone's responsibility."

Director Wang nodded happily, thinking that Comrade Jiang Yueshen had a very good ideological awareness.

"By the way, Xiao Jiang, where do you work?"

"I don't have a formal job yet. I come to the mountains to hunt occasionally to make a living."

Director Wang's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh? Xiao Jiang, you can actually hunt?"

"Well, I learned a few tricks from my dad since I was a kid, and I can gain a lot every time I go up the mountain."

Jiang Yueshen lied without blinking, he couldn't say that he had incredible skills and was self-taught, right?

Director Wang was tempted. Although this was a peaceful era, food was definitely a scarce commodity.

Not to mention anything else, just take their street office’s purchasing department as an example, sometimes they can’t even get food.

They are public servants and may not even get to eat meat once a week.

Director Wang wanted to befriend Jiang Yueshen, so she said directly, "Xiao Jiang, if you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Wang from now on."

"You have made great contributions by catching the spy this time. It depends on how the higher-ups reward you."

"You don't have a job right now, so I can give you a letter of introduction to work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. How about that?"

Jiang Yueshen felt excited and thought, now I have the job.

There is nothing urgent about work right now; the key is the house.

Jiang Yueshen smiled and said, "Auntie Wang, thank you for your kindness. By the way, are there any vacant houses in your area? I want to buy one."

Director Wang thought for a moment and said, "There is indeed a vacant house in our jurisdiction, it is the No. 95 compound in Nanluoguxiang."

"This compound is pretty good. It's a quadrangle with three entrances and three exits. It's not far from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill or the police station."

"This empty room is in the backyard of the courtyard."

Jiang Yueshen was delighted, knowing that there must be some vacant houses in the compound.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang. Then I will buy this house. How much is it?" Jiang Yueshen asked.

"What's the matter with money? Xiao Jiang, you saved my man's life. I can't thank you enough."

"I only serve as a referral for jobs. I don't have the final say on whether you can get the job, but I do have the final say on houses in the area."

"Just treat this house as your own and live there."

Jiang Yueshen was delighted. He didn't expect that after getting a job, he would get a house without spending a penny.

This was an unexpected surprise.

"Auntie Wang, I won't say much to thank you. Take these four pheasants back to replenish your body."

Jiang Yueshen is not a stingy person. Since the other party has helped him so much, it is not too much to give him some game. After all, this pheasant can't be bought with money.

Jiang Yueshen, who has lived a new life, naturally understands the ways of the world. Living in the courtyard in the future, he will inevitably trouble Director Wang.

Making more friends now will make things easier in the future.

"That won't do, Xiao Jiang. I'm just repaying you for saving my life. How can I accept your things?"

Director Wang declined.

"It's okay, Aunt Wang. I still have two pheasants here. If you run out of them, I can just go to the mountains and hunt more."

Director Wang saw that he couldn't refuse, so he took the pheasant, but he casually reached into his pocket and said:

"Xiao Jiang, consider this pheasant as one I bought from you. Take this twenty-five dollars."

Jiang Yueshen was about to refuse, thinking that a few pheasants wouldn't cost so much money.

Director Wang then said, "You have to take this money. The pheasant is still alive and can lay eggs in the future. Consider it money for the eggs."

Jiang Yueshen felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement, so he simply stopped refusing.

Finally, Director Wang asked for Jiang Yueshen’s home address before leaving.

Jiang Yueshen can be said to have returned with a full load from this hunting trip, not only with prey and money in his pocket, but also with a job and a house.

I decided to go back and buy some new clothes with my mother and sister.

Jiang Yueshen calculated that it was now 1951, and in two years the country would implement a supply system.

By then, the supply will be rationed and you won’t be able to buy anything without a ticket.

While there is still time, Jiang Yueshen plans to make his family wealthy and stockpile as much food as possible.

When I have enough money, I will buy the four major items before the supply system is implemented.

By then, life in the compound will definitely be better than that in the Jia family. It depends on how Qin Huairu will regret it.

That would be the beginning of Qin Huairu's hard days.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yueshen walked back home.
