Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

In the courtyard, He Daqing walked towards his home with a relaxed look on his face.

In the eyes of others, that relaxed look was like a dam that had just released its floodwaters. But no one could have imagined that it was just the relaxed feeling that He Daqing had after letting out his anger.

Sure enough, making others uncomfortable can make yourself comfortable, this is an eternal truth.

When I got home, Sha Zhu had already prepared dinner.

Today we just had a simple meal. The big pot of food that Shazhu brought back, some pickled cucumbers, and some steamed buns and rice porridge. It was a simple, homely meal.

At the dinner table, Sha Zhu was eating while angrily saying, "Dad, why do you think that old man Yi Zhonghai must wrongly accuse our family? I think he didn't punish us lightly last time."

He Daqing ate his steamed bun and said, "Nonsense, he and our family are mortal enemies now, and he wants to take a bite of our family as long as he gets a chance. Do you think he can let this opportunity go?"

Yu Shui also said, "That's right. Look, he's taking advantage of Dad's absence to speak ill of Dad. Brother, you too, used to listen to him. Now you see clearly, don't you?"

Sha Zhu felt a little embarrassed by what Yu Shui said. He rubbed his head and said, "Wasn't I deceived before? Now I know. When this old man gets better, I will break his other leg. Let's see if he can still be arrogant."

"Now that I think about it, back then, that old man Yi Zhonghai was just talking and never helped me with anything. But Auntie was pretty good and helped me many times."

He Daqing smiled contemptuously and said, "Auntie is not bad? Are you stupid? They are a family. Why didn't Auntie give you your living expenses when she knew they were withheld? You call this good?"

"Do you know what that aunt did last night? Just say she's good?"

Sha Zhu said blankly: "What happened last night? Weren't we at home last night?"

"Last night, Yu Shui and your mother went to the toilet outside. An auntie pulled her aside and said bad things about our family. She told your mother not to come to our house anymore. She wanted to ruin our marriage. Do you think this person is vicious? It is said that it is better to destroy ten temples than to ruin a marriage. Think about it."

Yu Shui was surprised and said, "Ah, I said I saw an old lady holding my mother and talking to her. I called her a few times before they left. So she was saying bad things about our family? If I had known, I would have scolded her. This person is so mean!"

"So you two should stay away from Yi Zhonghai's family and the deaf old lady in the future. I'm afraid they won't be able to take advantage of me and will go looking for trouble with you."

Sha Zhu angrily cursed: "Then all the delicious food I made for them before has been thrown away!"

After the family finished their meal, He Daqing told Sha Zhu to go to the factory to take leave tomorrow and go for the assessment the day after tomorrow.

Because we had dinner late and there were other things going on, it was already very late and everyone went to bed early.

He Daqing lay in bed, awake all the time. He had things to deal with tonight.

By the time everyone fell asleep, the courtyard was dark.

He Daqing put on his clothes and jumped out of the wall.

During the day, he had already intentionally or unintentionally asked for Fan Youjin's address. He was going to deal with this matter tonight.

Although Chen Xueru didn't let him offend Fan Youjin, after all, he was from the street office.

But who is He Daqing? Not to mention you, the street office, didn't the two people who helped Yi Zhonghai just climb out of the stinking ditch?

Moreover, no matter how small the matter of his woman is, it is still a big deal. If he can't even vent his anger for his woman, is he going to wait for others to vent their anger for him? Then isn't he a waste?

In the pitch-black night, He Daqing was moving quickly like a ghost.

Soon they arrived at Fan Youjin's house. This guy also lived in a courtyard house. But it was not as big as He Daqing's. It only had two entrances.

Fan Youjin lived in the backyard. As for which house it was, he had to find it.

He Daqing climbed over the wall and used his mental power to look around one by one. Finally, he found Fan Youjin in a side room at the back. This guy lived alone in a single room, and his family probably lived next to him. He was sleeping soundly at the moment.

A slight mental puncture made Fan Youjin sleep even more deeply.

He Daqing went into the room, gently picked him up, and took his clothes and shoes with him, and then quietly walked out the door.

He Daqing climbed over the wall and left the yard, then carried Fan Youjin through several alleys.

This was the place where many fallen women were rescued in the past, and some people also called it the Eight Great Hutongs. Although it has been renovated now, there are still some women with difficult family situations waiting here for people with lofty ideals to come and save them from the dire situation.

He Daqing carried Fan Youjin to the entrance of an alley, where there was a big tree and the light became dimmer.

He covered Fan Youjin's mouth and kicked him twice on his legs. The pain almost made Fan Youjin's eyes pop out. He Daqing quickly gave him another mental puncture. Fan Youjin fell unconscious again.

He was thrown to the ground and stripped naked.

After thinking about it, He Daqing stepped hard on the small bean sprout in the middle twice.

Fan Youjin was in so much pain that sweat broke out on his head.

However, He Daqing still covered his mouth to prevent him from shouting, and used mental puncture to put him into a deep coma.

If no one slapped him hard, he would probably sleep for a whole day and night.

After doing all this, he tore his clothes into strips to make them stronger. Then he jumped onto a tree and found a strong branch. He then hung Fan Youjin on the branch.

He hung the pair of worn-out shoes around his neck, which made it obvious that he was another adulterer who had been caught having an affair.

He Daqing looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, patted the dirt on his hands, and went back in the night.

As for when he would be discovered? Would he freeze to death? What did this have to do with He Daqing? He was tired after a day's work and was sleeping comfortably at home.

It would be even easier if he really froze to death. I guess everyone would think that Fan Youjin was the one who came out to have an affair and was beaten up by the man, right?

He Daqing returned home and slept soundly until dawn.

After seeing off Yushui and Shazhu, he rode his bike to Chen Xueru's house.

This girl drank too much last night. I don't know if she got up to eat in the middle of the night. I'm worried if I don't go check on her.

When we got to Chen Xueru's place, we found out that she had already opened a silk shop to do business.

But there was still no one around, just her, bored and counting the bills.

Seeing He Daqing, Chen Xueru stopped settling the score and ran over to ask, "When did you leave last night? I woke up in the middle of the night and you were gone."

He Daqing touched his head and said, "I saw you sleeping like a pig, so I left secretly. Did you eat last night?"

Chen Xueru leaned in his arms and said, "I ate it. Thank you Daqing. It's great to have you!"

He Daqing said lovingly, "That's right. If I don't treat you well, how can I treat others well? You are my daughter-in-law."

"I see you are settling accounts. What are you settling?"

Having said this, Chen Xueru let go of He Daqing, walked to the counter and said, "Aren't we planning to quit? I'll calculate the current inventory and see if the street office will take over. If not, I'll have to find a way to deal with the remaining things. Otherwise, they'll go bad in a few years if they're kept in our hands."

He Daqing first thought of the space, but then he thought it was unnecessary. The cloth now would probably be worthless in the future. So he might as well deal with it.

In this way, the two of them handled these things while chatting in the silk shop.

At noon, He Daqing prepared two delicious dishes for Chen Xueru to eat together.

Just after dinner, someone knocked on the door.

Chen Xueru went over to open the door in confusion, and saw two police officers outside.

She asked in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"

The two police officers were quite polite and said to Chen Xueru, "Hello, are you Chen Xueru? Is He Daqing here?"

When Chen Xueru heard that they were looking for He Daqing, she immediately became nervous and asked, "What do you want to see him for?"

The two police officers patiently said, "We need to find out more about him. Could you please call him?"

Seeing that the two police officers didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Chen Xueru said to them, "Then come in, he's inside."

After bringing two police officers into the house, Chen Xueru said with some concern: "Daqing, these two police officers are looking for you."

He Daqing didn't understand why the police were looking for him. As for what happened to Fan Youjin last night, he probably wouldn't find him so quickly, right?

In fact, he didn't know that there was a half-closed shop doing business at the place where he hung Fan Youjin last night. As a result, two people who wanted to save the woman came out of there at night. They were shocked to see a naked person hanging on the tree.

So the two rescued Fan Youjin. After Fan Youjin was awakened, they asked someone to report to the police. He was then sent to the hospital and saved his life.

But the two unlucky guys who saved him were taken away directly by the police, and they also rescued several fallen women.

I don’t know whether those two people regret it or not.

When the police went to find out what happened, Fan Youjin thought about it carefully and felt that he had offended Chen Xueru and He Daqing recently. So he told the police. Today, the police came here to find out what happened.

He Daqing asked doubtfully, "Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The two police officers were very formal. One asked questions while the other took out a pen to take notes.

"Excuse me, do you know Fan Youjin?"

"Yes, I know him. I just found out about him yesterday. He was pursuing my boyfriend before, but I just didn't agree to him."

"Did you two have any conflicts?"

"Conflict? What kind of conflict do we have? We met for the first time yesterday, and after we exchanged a few words, he left. What kind of conflict could I have with him?"

"So where were you last night at midnight?"

"Of course I'm at my house. Am I not sleeping at home in the middle of the night?"

"No, Public Security Comrade, can I ask what happened?"

So the public security comrade did not hide anything and told the story of Fan Youjin.

Chen Xueru on the side was a little shocked when she heard this. She remembered what He Daqing said yesterday, that Fan Youjin would never bother her again.

I didn't expect that He Daqing went to avenge himself last night.

Chen Xueru was touched, but also a little worried.

The police officer continued to ask: "Do you have any evidence to prove that you had nothing to do with this incident last night?"

He Daqing thought for a moment and said, "Last night, a family in our compound lost money. I stayed at home to cooperate with the police's investigation. They left at around 7 or 8 o'clock. We finished our meal at around 9 o'clock. They didn't leave the house after that. How can we prove this?"

After the two police officers finished registering and checked to see that there was nothing missing, they said, "Okay, we will investigate what you said. If we find anything, we may come back to you."

"It's okay. I will definitely cooperate with the public security comrades in their actions."

After the two of them left, Chen Xueru threw herself into He Daqing's arms. She was so moved that tears came out. She said, "Daqing, thank you! Please don't do this again in the future, okay? I was really worried and scared just now!"

He Daqing hugged her and comforted her, "It's okay, you can trust me to do the job. I just didn't expect this birdman to be so lucky. But I guess he will have to stay in the hospital for half a year at the least? I wonder if he can still be a man in the future?"

It took him a long time to comfort Chen Xueru. He stayed with her for a while and then left.

He will have an exam tomorrow, so he goes to ask his senior brother about the details.
