Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Seeing everyone's gossipy eyes, Liu Haizhong's face turned pale. He must not admit this, otherwise he might be suspected of deliberately losing the child. So he said with a sullen face: "Yi Zhonghai, what evidence do you have for saying this? Whether the child has curly hair remains to be proven. You can't just say something like that to slander Huairu and me."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong refused to admit it, Yi Zhonghai was furious. However, since the child was already lost, it was useless for him to say anything. So he said angrily, "We all know what the child looks like. Do you think it's okay if you don't admit it? You're dreaming. You lost the child on purpose. You're committing a crime!"

Yi Zhonghai looked crazy in the middle of his bangs. To be honest, he was a little happy in his heart, but his face was angry. He said, "Yi Zhonghai, if you slander Huairu for having an affair with you, I will go to the police station to sue you for defamation."

Everyone was just watching the dispute between Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai. After all, Qin Huairu divorced Yi Zhonghai because she cheated on Liu Haizhong, so everyone was talking about it in a low voice.

Yan Fugui looked at the messy yard helplessly. He was the only uncle in charge of the yard and could not let things continue to develop like this, otherwise he would not be able to sleep tonight. So he said, "Lao Yi, Lao Liu, now you each have your own opinions, and we can't judge who is telling the truth. So let's ask Qin Huairu, the person involved, whose child it is." After saying that, he looked at Qin Huairu who was woken up by the aunts.

Qin Huairu was pretending to be unconscious. When she heard Yan Fugui's words, she hated him to death. She thought to herself, "What are you asking? What's the point of asking you?" However, she looked aggrieved and said, "Third Uncle, what are you talking about? The child is of course mine and Haizhong's. It has nothing to do with Yi Zhonghai."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai proudly and said, "Yi Zhonghai, did you hear that? Huairu said the child is mine."

Yi Zhonghai knew that Qin Huairu knew clearly who the child belonged to, but she turned black into white for her own benefit. He had seen through this woman in his heart. Now he couldn't explain himself, and it would only make things more ridiculous if he continued. Therefore, he looked at Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu with resentment and turned away.

Yan Fugui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yi Zhonghai leave. In fact, he understood that what Yi Zhonghai said was right. He had seen the child and he did have curly hair, which was basically different from the Liu family. However, Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong insisted that the child was his, so no matter what Yi Zhonghai said, it was useless. As for whether Liu Haizhong lost the child on purpose, what did it have to do with him? Even Qin Huairu, the mother, was not in a hurry, so why should he, the third uncle, be in a hurry? Isn't it like the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.

But he did not expect that Qin Huairu was pregnant with Yi Zhonghai's child when she married Liu Haizhong. She must have been pregnant before the divorce, otherwise they would not have had the chance to have an affair since they lived in the same courtyard. Now he finally understood why the child was born prematurely, but apart from feeling a little pity for Yi Zhonghai, he had no other opinion in his heart.

Then he looked at Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu and said, "Okay, you guys should go back and rest after making a fuss all night. You still have to continue looking for the child tomorrow."

After saying that, he waved to everyone and said, "Okay, everyone can go home."

As a woman, Aunt Er thought carefully and realized that it was not the right time for Qin Huairu to give birth. She looked at Liu Haizhong with a mocking look and took Liu Guangfu home.

Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu returned home without saying a word. Liu Haizhong didn't say anything because he didn't want to make things public. Once things were made public, the matter of losing the child would become more and more complicated, so he had to pretend to be ignorant of the matter. Qin Huairu didn't say anything because she felt she couldn't say it.

After a long while, Liu Haizhong said, "Okay, after a night of hard work, go to bed early. We have to go to the police station to inquire about the situation tomorrow morning."

Qin Huairu hated Liu Haizhong in her heart, but she would still live in the Liu family in the future, so she nodded and said, "Okay." After that, she lay down to sleep. In this way, the two couples who seemed to be in harmony but were actually not in harmony fell asleep.

There was such a big commotion in the courtyard, but no one in the Lin family came out to watch. In the main room of the west wing, Lin Qingyan hugged Lin Ping's arm and said, "The courtyard is really lively."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "That's right. Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai both put on a big show, but the one who got hurt was Qin Huairu."

Lin Qingyan squeezed into Lin Ping's arms and said, "She deserves it."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Qingya ran in, hunched over and threw herself onto the bed...

For several days in a row, Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu went to the police station, but unfortunately there was no news about the child. Liu Haizhong had a sad face but felt at ease in his heart. As long as the child was not found, what he had done would not be exposed.

Yi Zhonghai looked haggard these days, and it was no wonder that he felt bad. If he had taken the child back when he knew the child was his, this would not have happened. It was also his fault that he wanted to take revenge on Liu Haizhong, which led to the disaster.

But who is Yi Zhonghai? The more this happens, the more he cannot be defeated. He decides to get married and find a wife to carry on his family line. Since Qin Huairu can give birth, it means that his illness has been cured.

After he figured it out, he went to find Matchmaker Zhang and told her about his situation. Matchmaker Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai and told him the truth: "Old Yi, don't think I'm being harsh. It's not easy for you to find a woman who can give birth at your age. You either need a widow with a child or a rural family that can't make ends meet. Otherwise, it's difficult."

Yi Zhonghai knew that what they said was true, but he also knew that the matchmaker was greedy for money. As long as the money was in place, she could make a dead person come back to life. So he took out ten yuan and said, "Matchmaker Zhang, if you can do it for me, I will take ten yuan as a thank you gift. Do you think it's okay?"

Matchmaker Zhang took the money and said with a smile: "Old Yi, let me be frank with you. It's not easy to find a partner at your age. Don't be picky when the time comes."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "I understand. As long as my hands and feet are healthy and I can have children, that's fine."

Matchmaker Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take care of this matter. You just wait for the news at home."

Courtyard, Sunday.

Matchmaker Zhang brought a girl to the front yard. As soon as Auntie San saw the girl, she was willing and hurried forward and said, "Auntie Zhang is here. Let's go in and talk."

The girl was of average appearance, about 1.56 meters tall, and looked pretty in her floral jacket.

Yan Jiefang seemed quite satisfied. After the others entered the house, Matchmaker Zhang said, "Uncle San, this child is from Fangshan. He is the eldest in the family, and has three younger brothers and two younger sisters. If you can agree on a date, you can get him married as soon as possible."

Uncle San was also very satisfied with the girl. She looked honest, loyal and hardworking, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go out and talk, and give these young people some private space."

It was not until the girl left after lunch that Yan Fugui asked, "Jiefang, how did you two talk? Why didn't the girl express her opinion?"

Yan Jiefang smiled and said, "Dad, she's a country girl, why wouldn't she be unwilling? We've already agreed that she will go home and ask her parents for their opinions, and then write to us."

Yan Fugui finally felt relieved after hearing this. As long as Yan Jiefang got married smoothly, he would be able to have a grandson sooner. He could no longer rely on Yan Jiecheng.

When the girl and Matchmaker Zhang left the courtyard, Matchmaker Zhang asked, "Xiaohua, what do you think? Do you like Yan Jiefang?"

Xiaohua blushed when she heard that and said, "Why would I disagree if a city guy likes a country girl like me? It's just that my mother told me not to agree yet, and she would ask someone to find out if this family is reliable."

When Matchmaker Zhang heard what was going on, she nodded and said, "It's only right to look around." But she always felt that this marriage was difficult.

After sending Xiaohua to the countryside of Fangshan, Matchmaker Zhang did not go home, but went to another village.

At the entrance of Tofu Village, is the home of Widow Ma.

Widow Ma's husband died early, leaving behind a son who is twelve years old this year. Because her husband's family said that she was unlucky and her mother-in-law raised the child with her, she has been living alone ever since. Her life is very hard. She almost starved to death during the famine years.

Matchmaker Zhang knocked on the door and asked, "Is the Ma family's sister home?"

Widow Ma, who was making shoes, stood up and opened the gate. She was startled to see that it was Matchmaker Zhang. Then she smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, what are you doing here?"

Matchmaker Zhang looked at Widow Ma. She looked like she was almost fifty, even though she was in her thirties. It was obvious how unhappy she was. She also knew that her in-laws treated her very badly. She said with sympathy, "Sister Ma, I want to find you a matchmaker. Are you willing?"

Widow Ma was shocked at first. Everyone in this neighborhood didn't know that she was a jinx. If she could remarry, why would she wait until today? So she smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Zhang, you know my situation. If someone is willing to marry a woman like me who is a jinx, don't make fun of me."

Matchmaker Zhang laughed and said, "Sister Ma, I'm not kidding you. After all, the other party is from the city and earns 99 yuan a month. If you marry him, you will definitely enjoy a good life."

Widow Ma was even more unconvinced after hearing this, and said with a bitter smile: "Aunt Zhang, please don't make fun of me. He is so well-off, why would he marry a widow like me who brings bad luck to her husband instead of a virgin? How could this be possible?"

Seeing that Widow Ma didn't believe her, Matchmaker Zhang quickly said, "What I said is true. Of course, the other party also has a problem, that is, he is a little older. Do you mind?"

Widow Ma thought about it and said, "You have already told others about my situation. Don't make a fool of yourself later."

The reason why Widow Ma said this was that she had had enough. Her in-laws didn't like her, and even her son was taught by her mother-in-law not to be close to her. She didn't want to stay in this family for a moment. If she hadn't been incapable of living there, she would have run away long ago.

When Matchmaker Zhang saw that Widow Ma was willing, she quickly smiled and said, "That's in the city, people don't believe in these superstitions about bringing bad luck to husbands, so don't worry. Since you agreed, I'll pick you up that Sunday."

Besides, Xiaohua's family sent someone to Nanluoguxiang to inquire about the Yan family. The news they got was shocking. The eldest daughter-in-law had divorced because she couldn't stand his family's stinginess. If their daughter married into the family, she would suffer the same. Now they don't have to go hungry like before. In addition, the family loves Xiaohua more, so naturally they would not agree to this marriage. So they sent someone to tell Zhang the matchmaker and let the matter go.
