Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Seeing Qin Huairu using family affection to force his wife, Sha Zhu could no longer sit still. He stood up and said, "Qin Huairu, although Yanru is your sister, we must be alive before we can help you. Look at the situation now. You are forcing Yanru to die. If you still have a conscience, take the two catties of corn flour and leave. If you keep pestering us, we will cut off all ties and have no contact with each other!"

Seeing that Sha Zhu and his wife both had cold expressions, Qin Huairu knew that this was how it would be today, so she sighed and said, "Alas, I was anxious. I didn't expect your situation. I'll leave first." After that, she left with two pounds of corn flour.

Qin Yanru closed the door and patted her chest and said, "Good fellow, if it weren't for your support, I really couldn't stand it."

Seeing Qin Yanru’s charming appearance, Sha Zhu couldn’t bear it anymore. He picked up Qin Yanru and went into the inner room...

Qin Huairu left Shazhu's house and took the corn flour back to Jia's house. Jia Zhang looked at the flour bag and sneered, "This is your own sister, and she only gave you this little food? It's really heartless. She just watched you starve?"

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly. She knew that Sha Zhu's family must have food, but there was nothing she could do if they didn't give her any. With these two pounds of corn flour, she could get through tomorrow. So she explained, "Mom, it's the end of the month now, and no one has any surplus food. It's good enough to give me two pounds of corn flour."

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "I don't care where you get food, but you can't let my grandson starve."

Qin Huairu became angry when she heard this. She looked at the skinny and hungry Xiaodang and the two-year-old Xiaohuaihua, and cursed in her heart, "You are always the one who eats the most. If you ate less, would your family be in such a state?"

The more she thought about it, the more painful she felt. She wiped her tears and left for the backyard again. Everyone knew about her and Xu Damao, so she was not afraid of gossip.

Xu Damao's house in the backyard.

Xu Damao opened the door and saw Qin Huairu's red eyes. He said distressedly, "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Huairu choked up and said, "Da Mao, my family can't make ends meet anymore. Can you lend me some food?"

Xu Damao's family didn't have enough food, so how could he lend food to Qin Huairu? So he frowned and said, "Sister Qin, I really don't have any food, but I can lend you some money."

Qin Huairu thought that even if she had money now, she might not be able to buy food, but having money was good, just in case she ran into the pigeon market releasing food, so she nodded and said, "Da Mao, thank you, otherwise your sister wouldn't know what to do."

Seeing Qin Huairu's tearful face, Xu Damao said with lustful thoughts, "Sister Qin, how about you come in and I'll get you the money?"

How could Qin Huairu not know what Xu Damao was planning? She blushed and said, "Da Mao, if you want it, wait until we get married. I'm not a casual woman."

How could Xu Damao believe what Qin Huairu said? So he said with a sullen face: "Sister Qin, you are not kind. You always hang the chain at the critical moment. Do you think I, Xu Damao, am a fool?"

Qin Huairu turned pale when she heard this and said, "Da Mao, if you think so, then let's not contact each other anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. Xu Damao had invested a lot in Qin Huairu. At most, he just wanted to satisfy his desire. How could he let her go? Besides, Qin Huairu's playing hard to get made Xu Damao unable to stop. He had to eat this swan meat, so he quickly said, "Sister Qin, I'm just joking with you. Don't mind it. I'll get you the money right away."

With her back to Xu Damao, Qin Huairu curled up the corners of her mouth when she heard that, thinking to herself, little brat, can't I control you?

Finally, Qin Huairu returned to the middle courtyard with ten yuan. Liu Haizhong leaned against the window and sighed, "Qin Huairu is really a tough guy. It seems that Xu Damao has been controlled by Qin Huairu."

Aunt Er shook her head and said, "Not necessarily. Although Xu Damao covets Qin Huairu, he may not marry her. He just covets her body. Believe it or not, as long as Qin Huairu gives herself to Xu Damao, Xu Damao can immediately become two people."

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "This is what makes Qin Huairu so powerful. She knows exactly what men are thinking."

The deaf old lady was also lying on the window and staring at the scene. Seeing Qin Huairu escape successfully, she secretly cursed Xu Damao for being useless.

The next morning, after promising no benefits, he sent the little clingy girl Nuonuo to the back room.

After arriving at the police station with Lin Qingya and returning to his office, Li Shengli rushed in and said, "Pingzi has a mission tonight."

Hearing this, Lin Ping asked, "What mission? Is it to capture enemy spies?"

Li Shengli shook his head and said, "What are you thinking? Even if we catch the enemy spies, it won't be our turn. There is a black market now, and the trading volume is very large, so the higher-ups are preparing to take action after reconnaissance. Since it is in our jurisdiction, they asked our police station to cooperate with the operation. I decided to let you lead the team."

Lin Ping also knew that the black market existed. It was full of all kinds of people and often involved black-on-black behavior, so it was a target for severe crackdowns. He nodded and said, "Okay, I will cooperate with the operation."

Li Shengli nodded and said, "Because there are so many people in the black market, the steel mill security department is also involved in the operation. Please cooperate with us."

After get off work, Lin Qingya went home by herself. Before leaving, she reminded Lin Ping to be careful because those desperate criminals had guns.

Nine p.m.

On the playground of the Chengdong Branch, comrades from the branch and the steel rolling mill security department of the Red Star Police Station were crowded with people.

Zhou Xiangqian, who had become the director, came to the front desk to explain the specific arrangements for this operation. After he finished speaking, he came to Lin Ping and said, "Pingzi, I know you are an excellent doctor. Please take care of the comrades. I don't want any deaths to occur."

Lin Ping saluted and said, "Don't worry, Director. I will do my best."

Zhou Xiangqian patted Lin Ping on the shoulder with relief when he heard this and said, "I feel relieved to have you here. When this matter is over, I will transfer Li Shengli back to be the deputy director, and the Red Star Police Station will be handed over to you."

The mission was completed very smoothly at two o'clock in the morning. Except for a police officer who was slightly injured, there were no casualties. The mission was successfully completed.

The police officers at the scene took the man back to the station for detention. Lin Ping said a few words to Niu Dapao and his group then watched Niu Dapao and his group leave.

After everyone left, Lin Ping did not get in the car. Instead, he looked into the darkness of the alley and said, "Come out. Everyone is gone."

At this time, a pair of twin sisters walked out from the shadows. They looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. They were sweet and cute, but they were so thin that they looked like human figures.

During the operation, Lin Ping had already spotted the two sisters, but because he was the buyer, he pretended not to see them. The two sisters hid in the shadows and did not dare to move until the police officers left.

The two sisters came to Lin Ping and knelt down and said, "Thank you, big brother, for saving us."

Lin Ping knew that if two beautiful girls could come to the black market, their families must have no other options, otherwise why would they let them come? You know, the black market is not safe, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late, I'll take you home first. Don't come to the black market again in the future, be careful of being abducted."

After saying that, he got in the car directly. Seeing that the two sisters did not move, he said with a smile: "Why, are you afraid that I will sell you out?"

The two sisters looked at each other, gritted their teeth and got into the car.

On the way, Lin Ping asked, "Where do you live? Who else is at home? Why did I ask you to go out to buy food? Don't you know that it's dangerous to do so?"

One of the two sisters said, "Big brother, we are called Dashuang and Xiaoshuang. I am the older sister Dashuang and she is the younger sister Xiaoshuang. We live at No. 38 Shamao Hutong." After saying that, Dashuang lowered her head in shame.

Lin Ping was startled when he heard this. Shamao Hutong? Isn't that the same place for fireworks as Yanzhi Hutong, which was also one of the eight major hutongs? So he drove to Shamao Hutong without asking any more questions.

He parked the car in front of No. 38. In front of him was a small courtyard with a private entrance. Lin Ping got out of the car and knocked on the gate.

After a while, the door was opened and a little head popped out. However, the child's hair was as dry and yellow as Dashuang and Xiaoshuang's, and it was obvious that it was caused by malnutrition. The child was about the same age as Dashuang and Xiaoshuang.

The little girl looked at Lin Ping and was about to speak when she saw Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang behind Lin Ping. She immediately rushed out and cheered, "Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang, you are finally back."

Then, looking at the two people with empty hands, she said with disappointment in her eyes, "There is no food in the black market, Mom can't hold on any longer, and her eyes started to turn red as she spoke."

Dashuang lowered his head as if he had done something wrong and said, "It's all our fault that we didn't buy any food."

Lin Ping knew that although the red-light district had been replaced, there were still some businesses operating half-closed doors. This might be one of them. Looking at the three little girls, he sighed and said, "Take me to meet your mother."

Dashuang was a little afraid of Lin Ping's police uniform, so he had to take Lin Ping into the yard.

When I came to the bedroom in the main house, I saw a little girl who looked the same as the little girl who opened the door. She was standing by the bed and serving a woman in her forties. Although the woman was terminally ill, she must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.

Seeing that Lin Ping was not panicked, the woman coughed twice and said, "A distinguished guest has come. Yaru is sorry for being rude."

Then he asked about what happened at the black market with Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang. After learning the whole story, he struggled to get up and said, "Thank you, comrade. After hearing what Da Shuang said, I knew you were a good person."

Lin Ping was given a nice guy card, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Comrade, you can't let Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang go to the black market again in the future. It will be terrible if something goes wrong."

Ya Ru's eyes turned red when she heard this and she said, "I have no choice. My family has no rice to cook. The four girls haven't eaten for two days. I have also exchanged my last jewelry for money. I am just waiting for them to buy food and have their last full meal. Then I will leave it to fate."

Seeing Ya Ru's pessimism, Lin Ping said bluntly: "Comrade, forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid you won't starve to death in this line of work, right?"

Ya Ru was startled when she heard this, and she knew that Lin Ping had misunderstood. She blushed and explained, "Comrade, we only sell our art, not our bodies."

After Ya Ru's story, Lin Ping learned that Ya Ru was a prostitute who only sold her art and not her body. She barely made a living with her outstanding talent and beauty. She adopted the four little girls out of pity.

If they wanted to do business, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang could have taken on customers, but Ya Ru had her bottom line in her heart and did not do so. It was not until there was no business in the brothels that Ya Ru began to do some embroidery work or sell jewelry to make a living.

It's not that no one introduced marriages to her during that period, but she refused all of them because of the four girls. So the four little girls grew up, and she became ill and could no longer embroider, so she had to wait for death.

Lin Ping sighed when he heard this. It was rare to find a woman like Ya Ru who was untainted by the world. He felt pity for them and decided to help them.
