Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

When it was dark, Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard, and naturally there was chaos again. All the ingredients prepared by Cui Dake disappeared.

After asking Jia Zhang, I found out that all the things were snatched away by the people in the compound.

She wanted to call the police, but Jia Zhang stopped her. She took the most, and it was all meat.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to give up. If she really called the police, others might be fine, but Jia Zhang would definitely not be able to escape. She was the first one to rob, and it could be said that it was Jia Zhang who took the lead in robbing, and she was the main culprit.

"Huai Ru, what do you think about Cui Dake?"

"Let's wait until tomorrow. I'll go find Deputy Director Li and ask for mercy. As long as Deputy Director Li doesn't pursue the matter, everything should be fine."

"No, Huairu, you don't understand what I mean."

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"Huai Ru, I advise you to think carefully. You can't control Cui Dake. Not to mention what happened today, he dared to hit you in front of so many people last night. What will you do after you get married?"

"Mom, now we can only take things one step at a time."

Qin Huairu had no other choice but to go ahead with the marriage even if it meant holding her nose.

"Huai Ru, let's make it clear first, the five dollars a month can't be less."

"Mom, I see."

Qin Huairu was not opposed to giving five yuan to Jia Zhang every month. The money would be kept by Jia Zhang and would eventually fall into Banggeng's hands. It could be considered as saving some money for Banggeng in advance while she was young and had the capital.

"Just so you know, go cook."

...........

After returning from the police station, Sha Zhu stayed in the house. During this time, Yan Jiecheng came to him and asked him to go to Pan Yinghong's place together, but Sha Zhu refused. Firstly, he was not in the mood. The thousand yuan he had earned was gone again, so it would be strange for him to be in a good mood. Secondly, he did not dare to go with Yan Jiecheng again because of Yan Jiecheng's physical condition. If something happened and he was implicated, it would be a waste of time.

"dong dong"

There was a knock on the door.

When Sha Zhu opened the door, he saw Yi Zhonghai holding a glass of wine in one hand and an oil-paper bag in the other, presumably containing snacks.

"Shazhu, let's have a drink tonight?"

"Master Yi, if you have something to say, just talk about it. Forget about drinking."

Ever since Yi Zhonghai lied to Sha Zhu and said that he had found a matchmaker, Sha Zhu's way of addressing Yi Zhonghai changed and he never called him "uncle" again. The image of Yi Zhonghai in his mind had collapsed.

"Silly, I can explain."

Seeing that Sha Zhu was about to close the shop, Yi Zhonghai became anxious. This was not acceptable. The distance between him and Sha Zhu was getting farther and farther, and this was not what he wanted to see.

"come in."

In Sha Zhu's heart, he was unwilling to believe that Yi Zhonghai had deliberately deceived him. However, Sha Zhu had been very busy these days, and he would go looking for Sai Yuhuan whenever he had time, but Yi Zhonghai couldn't find her even if he wanted to.

Today is a rare opportunity, so Shazhu stayed at home and didn't go out.

"Silly Zhu, would you like to have a drink together?"

"I don't want to drink. You want to explain? Then go ahead. I'm listening."

"What? Silly Zhu, you don't dare to drink my wine?"

"I don't dare to drink? Master Yi, even if the mayor brings wine to me to drink, I won't be afraid."

"That's it, let's drink and talk."

Yi Zhonghai opened the oil paper package, which contained chopped beef, some peanuts, and a few garlic cloves. It was a perfect dish to go with wine.

"Shazhu, how about this snack?"

"it is good."

Sha Zhu was no longer polite, took two wine glasses, and the two started drinking.

After a few drinks, Yi Zhonghai started talking and made up a story.

In his rhetoric, he said that he had always asked Tan Guihua to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to Sha Zhu, and Tan Guihua never refused and agreed every time. So, when Sha Zhu said that there was a matchmaker to propose marriage to him, Yi Zhonghai subconsciously thought that it was the matchmaker found by Tan Guihua.

Who knew that He Yushui also found a matchmaker, which caused misunderstanding.

When Yi Zhonghai returned home and asked Tan Guihua, he found out that Tan Guihua had no time to look for a matchmaker due to health reasons.

In short, Yi Zhonghai pushed all the problems onto Tan Guihua.

This was the line of speech that Yi Zhonghai and Tan Guihua had agreed upon. It would have been fine if Sha Zhu didn't ask. But if he asked, Tan Guihua would take all the responsibility on herself.

"Uncle, you didn't lie to me?"

In his heart, Sha Zhu had already accepted Yi Zhonghai's explanation, and the way he addressed him became "uncle".

"Silly Zhu, have you ever been deceived by me since your father passed away?"

"Well, no."

"That's it. We men are all upright people. We say what we mean and never say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs."

"I agree with what you said. I'm going to give you a toast. I'm a bad guy, so please don't bother with me."

Seeing Sha Zhu's performance, Yi Zhonghai felt relieved. Sha Zhu was still the same Sha Zhu, he hadn't changed. Perhaps the only thing that had changed was his attitude towards Qin Huairu.

"Silly Zhu, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

"Uncle, you are my elder in my heart. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Silly Zhu, this is about Qin Huairu, do you still have any feelings for her?"

"Uncle, what do you mean?"

"Shazhu, if you have an idea, then take this opportunity to let Cui Dake go to jail, and you and Huairu get married."

"what?"

Sha Zhu was half sober. He really didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would have such an idea.

"Silly Zhu, what are you talking about? The opportunity now is so good. As long as Cui Dake goes in, Qin Huairu, who has no one to rely on, will have to rely on you again in the end."

"Hey, uncle, how do you know Cui Dake is going to go in?"

"Shazhu, you are so stupid. Didn't you say he wanted to chop you with a knife last night? This is attempted murder. As long as you don't reconcile, Cui Dake will definitely not get out."

"Uncle, you are the one who reported Cui Dake, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was shocked. When did Sha Zhu become so smart?

"Silly Zhu, do you still remember when I was beaten?"

"Remember, didn't you find anyone?"

"I found out that it was Cui Dake who hired someone to do it. Huairu broke a few parts that day, and I said a few words to her. As a result, she told Cui Dake. When I got off work, I was dragged into the woods and beaten up."

"Oh, I see. Uncle, you are seeking revenge against Cui Dake."

"Not entirely. It's mainly for you. I want to get Huairu back from him. You and Huairu should be a couple."

"Uncle, you went back to your room a long time ago last night. How do you know Cui Dake is rich?"

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. I can see you clearly from the window where you are standing."

"Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai, if you don't exterminate your family, it will be unforgivable. You are lacking in virtue. Who did you learn this from? Damn, it doesn't matter if you report it. I've lost a thousand dollars."

Sha Zhu poured the wine directly on Yi Zhonghai's face and started cursing.

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, this is not good. Drinking will cause trouble. Drinking will cause trouble!

After a few drinks, he became a little too proud of himself.
