Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

"But later, his son offended an official and was unjustly killed. Knowing that he could not avenge his son, he lived with his daughter-in-law. However, his daughter-in-law soon remarried and married He Daqing. It was the deaf old lady who helped He Daqing learn his craft. When the army entered the city, the daughter-in-law and He Daqing already had two children, Shazhu and Yushui."

Lin Qingya asked curiously, "Why would the deaf old lady let her daughter-in-law marry the son of the family farmhand?"

Lin Ping thought more and asked, "Are all the things you checked on record?"

Lin Qingya shook her head and said, "How is it possible? Our army entered the city in that year. How could there be such records? Even people in our courtyard don't know the relationship between the deaf old lady and He Daqing."

Lin Ping already had some guesses in his mind, and asked, "Then how do you know all this?"

Lin Qingya smiled and said, "The only thing recorded in the book is that the deaf old lady was a concubine of a rich family with no children. When the army entered the city, she donated all her land and yard. The Military Control Commission gave her a five-yuan subsidy every month to thank her so that she could live in peace. They didn't know about the relationship between He Daqing and her. According to He Daqing, the deaf old lady was afraid that her identity would affect them, so they concealed their relationship when the army entered the city."

Lin Ping suddenly realized, "So this yard actually belongs to the deaf old lady. That's why the deaf old lady's house is the main house in the backyard and it's also private property."

Lin Qingya nodded and said, "That's right. As for the later residents, they were all assigned here. Otherwise, how could a deaf old lady, a lonely old woman, be assigned the largest main house in the backyard?"

Lin Ping nodded and said, "Go on."

Lin Qingya continued, "Because Yi Zhonghai reported He Daqing as a spy, our director took it very seriously and sent people to investigate He Daqing's past. These were what his master said when He Daqing was an apprentice, and only then did we understand the truth of the matter."

Lin Qingyan asked curiously, "What did the deaf old lady think at the beginning? Even if her son was gone, she couldn't marry her daughter-in-law off right away, right?"

Lin Qingya continued, "According to Master He Daqing, the deaf old lady's son offended an officer, and the deaf old lady was afraid of the officer's revenge, so she married her daughter-in-law off. This way, she is left alone, and the officer may not necessarily retaliate against her."

At this point, Lin Ping was more certain of his guess, but he didn't know whether He Daqing knew it or not. However, he didn't want to get involved in the trivial matters of the hospital, so he asked, "So if this is the case, is there any subsidy for the deaf old lady?"

Lin Qingyan explained: "How could there be none? My daughter-in-law has remarried. She is alone and has even donated land. How could the government ignore her?"

Lin Qingya nodded and said, "Yes, the results of the investigation will not affect the life of the deaf old lady, but He Daqing asked us to keep it secret, so don't talk about it."

Lin Ping laughed and said, "We are just bored and have nothing better to do than to chew on that gossip."

Three days later, Yi Zhonghai was sentenced to three years in prison and was sent directly to Xijiao Prison to serve his sentence. This surprised everyone in the prison, but they also understood that Yi Zhonghai had embezzled hundreds of dollars, and the crime was not a small one. They just sighed that He Daqing was so ruthless and took such a serious step.

After the matter was settled, He Daqing returned to Baocheng and left the money to He Yushui before leaving. In He Daqing's words, "Shazhu, you have been working and can support yourself, and Yushui is still young, so leave the money to Yushui."

Sha Zhu didn't have any objection. If Qin Huairu knew about this, she would definitely feel bad. In her opinion, Sha Zhu's money would be hers in the future.

The dust has settled on Yi Zhonghai's case, and Aunt Yi is worried at home about how she will live after Yi Zhonghai goes to jail. Fortunately, the money Yi Zhonghai left behind is enough for her to live for more than ten years.

She did not hate Sha Zhu, and she also understood that Yi Zhonghai deserved it, so when Yi Zhonghai went to jail, Aunt Yi lived with the deaf old lady and hardly got involved in the affairs of the orphanage.

The person who was happiest when Yi Zhonghai entered was Liu Haizhong. Now that Uncle No. 1 is gone, isn't it time for him, Uncle No. 2, to take over?

Director Wang also came to the courtyard after Yi Zhonghai's verdict, but he didn't mention what happened to Uncle Yi, which made Liu Haizhong very depressed.

Of course Xu Damao was also happy. Now that Yi Zhonghai was no longer protecting Sha Zhu, let's see how Sha Zhu could still show off.

Liu Guizhen's home.

Liu Guizhen's health is getting better and better. Now she can basically walk. Thinking of Lin Ping, this good son-in-law, she can't help but look at Han Qingxue and say, "Qingxue, when will you bring Pingzi to our house to sit down?"

Han Qingxue blushed when she heard this and explained, "Mom, Brother Pingzi and I are just ordinary friends, don't let your imagination run wild."

Liu Guizhen smiled and said, "I'm an experienced person. You can't fool me. If you're not ready, you can bring him back later. But I have to remind you that there are not many men as good as Pingzi. Don't let someone snatch him away and then you'll cry."

Han Qingxue also knew that the more she explained, the worse it would get, so she stopped explaining and changed the subject, "Mom, I'm going to go thank Brother Pingzi."

Liu Guizhen smiled and said, "As you should. You still have money there, go buy something and don't let others pick on you."

Han Qingxue nodded and said, "Mom, I know."

Siheyuan.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when Auntie San saw Han Qingxue walk in, she was startled. She thought to herself, didn't this girl break up with Sha Zhu? Why is she here again? So she asked, "Girl, are you here to see Sha Zhu?"

Han Qingxue shook her head and said, "Auntie, I'm here to find Lin Ping." Then she went to the central courtyard.

Auntie San looked at Han Qingxue's back and asked Li, "Lili, do you think our Jiefang is worthy of her?"

Yu Li rolled her eyes when she heard this. She thought to herself, who would be interested in your family's situation? If she hadn't had no other choice, she wouldn't have married into the family. She thought so in her heart but said, "Mom, I'm not old enough to be liberated yet. It's too early for you to think about this."

Auntie nodded and sighed, "It's too early, but this girl looks really pretty. It's a pity that her family is too poor. Even if she is old enough to be liberated, your father will definitely not agree."

West across the courtyard.

Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingya both went to work, leaving Lin Ping at home alone. He heard someone knocking on the door and came to the courtyard. When he opened the door and saw Han Qingxue, he smiled and said, "Qingxue, why are you here? Has Auntie's condition changed?"

Han Qingxue quickly waved her hands and said, "No, my mother has recovered very well, I came here to thank you."

Lin Ping smiled and let Han Qingxue into the yard, closed the door and said, "Qingxue, let's go inside and talk."

The two came to the main house. Han Qingxue looked at the furnishings in the house, then sat on a chair and said, "Brother Pingzi, my family can't go on like this. We must have a source of income, otherwise the neighbors in the yard will be suspicious."

Lin Ping was startled when he heard this, then said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you and contact you when there's a suitable job."

Han Qingxue waved her hands and said, "Brother Pingzi, I'm not here to ask for a job. I mean that I will follow you in the future, and my family can't have so much extra money and food for no reason, so I came to ask you what to do."

Lin Ping waved his hand and smiled, "Don't mind Qingya's words. I don't have those requirements. If there is a job, I will definitely contact you."

Han Qingxue stood up and said angrily, "What? You don't want to? I, a girl, have already agreed to it. Now you say you don't want to, who do you think I am?"

Lin Ping didn't expect Han Qingxue to react so strongly, and quickly explained: "Qingxue, I'm doing this for your own good. I'm married, and you have no future if you follow me. It will only make you live in rumors."

Han Qingxue said firmly after hearing this: "I'm not afraid, and I like you too." After saying that, her pretty face blushed and she lowered her head.

Lin Ping was a little dumbfounded. Why did he like her? Han Qingxue didn't see Lin Ping reply and looked up. She saw Lin Ping standing there in a daze. She gritted her teeth and pounced on him...

In the evening, Lin Qingyan came back, sniffed, looked at Lin Ping and asked, "Who was here?"

Lin Ping did not hide it and said, "Han Qingxue came here this afternoon, and I couldn't help it."

Of course he couldn't say that it was Han Qingxue who took the initiative, so he could only take the responsibility himself, for fear that Han Qingxue would be looked down upon.

Hearing this, Lin Qingyan rolled her eyes at Lin Ping and said, "You still say no, but what you say is different from what you do."

Lin Qingyan and her sister were sincerely looking for someone for Lin Ping, otherwise Lin Qingyan wouldn’t know how she would have gotten through this year.

When Lin Qingya got home from get off work and heard the news, she looked at Lin Ping teasingly and said, "Now you have done everything you should and shouldn't do. The key is how can you let Han Qingxue move in smoothly?"

Lin Ping was also stunned when he heard this. It was indeed true, but how Han Qingxue could move in so naturally was a problem.

Lin Qingyan thought about it and said, "Why not tell others that I'm helping to take care of the pregnant Qingya?"

Lin Ping shook his head and said, "This is unreasonable. First of all, you will all have to take leave and stay at home. And with my mother and aunt, how can we ask outsiders for help?"

Lin Qingya said unhappily, "What should we do? How can we solve the problem at night if we don't stay here?"

Lin Ping also had a headache and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. It's still early. It won't be too late to talk about it later."

Lin Qingyan nodded and said, "This is the only way for now. We will slowly think of a solution."

After He Daqing left, Qin Huairu would go to Sha Zhu whenever she had nothing to do. Fortunately, there was He Yushui to block her. Because in order to be on guard against Qin Huairu, He Yushui now rides a bike back to the yard every day.

Time soon came to May, and food in the market became increasingly scarce. There was no food in the pigeon market, and people's lives became even more difficult.

Steel rolling mill.

Li Huaide recently discovered something special: most of the workers in the steel rolling mill were pale and thin, while those in the security department had rosy complexions.

The strange thing is that the workers are doing heavy manual labor, so their rations are higher than those of the security department. But how come the situation is the other way around? The security guards, who should not have enough to eat, have rosy complexions, while the workers, who have higher rations, are pale and thin. There must be something fishy going on here. It seems that the security department has a big secret.

Niu Dapao from the Security Department was lying comfortably on a chair with his eyes closed. Ever since Lin Ping brought food to the department, the security officers had been given more than 100 kilograms of cornmeal. Although it was coarse grain, it was filling, and combined with the monthly ration, the people in the Security Department had been in good spirits in the past two months.

Just when he was thinking about when to go out and get some meat, he saw Li Huaide push the door and walk in. Niu Dapao immediately stood up and asked, "Director Li, why are you here?"

As he said this, he poured a cup of tea for Li Huaide. Li Huaide sat down and said with a smile, "Chief Niu, you are not kind."

Niu Dapao was startled when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "What did Director Li say? Did I do something wrong? Director Li, please tell me directly."

Li Huaide knew that Niu Dapao would play dumb, but this time he really blamed Niu Dapao wrongly. Getting food was a matter of two months ago, and now Niu Dapao didn't think about it at all.
