I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

Sha Zhu informed Yi Zhonghai about the incident and told him who he suspected. However, Yi Zhonghai said that there was no solid evidence and told him to be more careful in the future, and let the incident go. Whenever something happened to the Jia family, he would be frightened by Jia Zhang's unreasonable nagging.

But he knew his apprentice's character, and now his relationship with him was even more distant. As neighbors and master and apprentice, although they still maintained politeness on the surface, it was no longer the same as before.

Sha Zhu also took strict precautions. He would prop a bench against the door every night before going to bed, for fear that the guy would come and pry open his door again one day.

Of course, he still asked for the debt every day when he saw that guy. Jia Dongxu had to ask his wife to clean up the house again and again to avoid his debt. It was not until Qin Huairu's belly was seven or eight months big that the two terminated their labor relationship.

In July of 1952, Qin Huairu gave birth to a baby boy in the hospital. Jia Zhang was overjoyed and named the child Banggeng, which means Jiageng. She was afraid that the child would melt if she held him in her mouth, and that he would break if she held him in her hands. She loved him so much!

Since Qin Huairu took over the family, the living conditions of the Jia family have really improved a lot. I don't know how Jia Zhangshi was the head of the family before, but she always deducted the family's living expenses.

Since the third generation of the Jia family came into being, Jia Dongxu has become much more restrained. He no longer hangs out and works much more seriously than before. His master Yi Zhonghai has seen it all. If he can really change for the better, he can still use him as a backup.

The Beiman Girls' Academy where Jingyi was studying was indeed taken back by the government and renamed Wuyi Girls' Middle School. The school was changed to a four-year middle school and would no longer accept first-grade students in the next semester.

Jingyi was already sitting in the third grade classroom, having stopped writing for more than half a year, and she started writing again. The main reason was that Xu Damao lived with his grandparents, and there were no parents to supervise him, so he became arrogant.

Sha Zhu had already said that he would no longer be his enemy. But he refused to let him go! He gathered a few senior students to block Sha Zhu's way.

Jingyi thinks Qin Jingru is still suitable for him, so she should stop causing trouble for Lou Xiaoe! So the documentary novel is still written as it is. After Miss Lei Xiaomin of the Lei family married into a working-class family, she had a series of emotional entanglements, intrigues, and joys and sorrows in the compound.

The novel was revised and finally shortened to more than 500,000 words. Jingyi only wrote about the early days of reform and opening up, when Miss Lei and Le Mingxuan got married and lived happily, and then stopped.

When Jingyi used her delivery skills to deliver the book to the desk in Lou Zhenhua's study on the second floor, it was already July of 1953.

That day, Lou Zhenhua came back from Lou's Steel Rolling Mill and went to the study on the second floor to handle some official business as usual. As soon as he sat down, he saw a brand new book on the desk.

He picked it up and saw that the book was called "Lei Mansion" and the author was Bai Xiaosheng. The cover of the book was a photo of a villa that looked very similar to the one he lived in.

Did Xiao'e buy this for herself? She must have seen the villa on the cover and its similarity to her own, and bought it for her father to see without caring about the content.

No one dared to enter his study room without permission, except his precious daughter. There was an extra book on the desk tonight, who else could it be but her?

Lou Zhenhua smiled and shook his head! Since his precious daughter bought a book for him to read, he would take a look at what was written in the book.

The book begins with the story of the capital in the 1930s, when foreign invaders were causing great suffering. Lei Zhenhai, the head of the Lei family in Beijing, was a well-known businessman and industrialist.

In order to prevent his family from being affected by the war, he sent his younger brother Lei Zhenjiang and his family to Hong Kong to open up another family business. Before leaving, he also entrusted his son who was in school to his younger brother and took him to Hong Kong.

The more Lou Zhenhua read, the more he felt something was wrong! Wasn't this a reference to himself? Wasn't the Lei Mansion on the cover of the book the Lou Mansion where he lived?

He turned to the last page of the book to check which publishing house published it, and found that his Lou family was actually written into the book. However, he never expected that there was no mention of the publishing house and book number, not even the price.

Is this a black book? What is the author's purpose in writing this book? Is he trying to target my Lou family?

Lou Zhenhua was thinking rapidly, and he could not read the book any more. He opened the drawer and stuffed the book inside. He stood up and began to pace and think.

The person who knows so much about my Lou family must be someone close to me. Is someone trying to blackmail me? Or is there another purpose?

Lou Zhenhua was inevitably a little agitated by this unclear situation. In order to calm himself down, he turned on the stand-up radio.

The announcer on the radio was broadcasting an exciting news. On July 27, the enemy finally lowered his noble head on the battlefield of Goryeo. An armistice agreement was signed in Banmunjom.

Lou Zhenhua's pupils suddenly contracted sharply. He rushed to the desk, opened the drawer, took out the book, and quickly searched through it.

He remembered that when he was flipping through the book just now, he happened to see this paragraph, that an armistice agreement was signed on the Goryeo battlefield. At that time, he just read it as a novel and didn't pay much attention to it.

After flipping through a dozen pages, I saw the same news as the radio announcer had broadcasted. It was even more accurate than what the announcer had said, with even the time and minute clearly written on it.

What is this? Is this foresight? Or is this getting inside information in advance?

Lou Zhenhua then flipped through the book and found out that his Lou's Steel Rolling Mill would be a joint venture between the public and private sectors. The public side would send the factory management, and the private side would only retain the equity and would not be allowed to participate in the operation. Then Lei Zhenhai in the book donated the entire factory to the country in order to receive political treatment!

Will this happen as planned, or is someone playing a joke on themselves?

Lou Zhenhua was very nervous! First he wanted to find out the origin of the book. So he went to find his daughter Lou Xiao'e and asked her where she got the book from.

Lou Xiao'e was completely confused by the question! She didn't buy any books for her father at all. Lou Zhenhua then asked all the servants in the house who had come to the house today, but they all knew nothing and got nothing!

Judging from the content of this book, it does not seem to be disadvantageous to his Lou family. At least it serves as a warning.

He locked himself in the study again, and did not even go downstairs for dinner. He finished reading the entire book that night.

Except for the first dozen pages, the rest of the book describes the future prosperity and decline of his Lou family. The content deeply attracted him!

In the end, he was killed by his own son. Was it because he coveted the family treasure he brought to Hong Kong?

Lou Zhenhua felt a little sad! He stood up and stretched his legs, then solemnly locked the book in the safe.

He needed time to prove how much of this was true or false. But for some things, he had to plan ahead. It was better to believe it than not to believe it.

He came out of the study on the second floor, and the whole family, including the live-in maid, looked at him worriedly. Just that night, Lou Zhenhua looked much more haggard.

After breakfast and sending his daughter to school, Lou Zhenhua asked the driver to drive to the post office. He sent a telegram to Hong Kong, asking them to suspend the purchase of steel rolling equipment and to ask his brother Lou Zhenguo to come to the city as soon as possible.

He has been absent-minded at work these days! The book said that his daughter actually married into an ordinary working-class family. He simply couldn't believe it! His daughter was a lady from a wealthy family, how could he tolerate her living an ordinary life?

In the end, life was not satisfactory. After the divorce, she followed me to Hong Kong. Finally, at the age of 46, she found her true love. The young master of Renxintang Pharmacy, Le Mingxuan.

Instead of doing that, she might as well marry Le Mingxuan first. He was also familiar with Le Zhengqi, the owner of Renxintang Pharmacy, but he didn't know if he had a son named Le Mingxuan.

Thinking of this, he called his driver Liu Quan to secretly inquire whether the son of Mr. Le, the owner of Renxintang Pharmacy, was called Le Mingxuan.

This kind of thing is very easy to find out! The owner of Renxin Hall has an eldest son named Le Mingxuan, who is only thirteen years old.

Lou Zhenhua had an idea in mind! He would verify all the people and things mentioned in the book. But the key still depended on the people from Hong Kong. If the things in Hong Kong could match, this book would be the life-saving talisman for his Lou family.
