Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Out of the courtyard.

Cui Dake took a deep breath and was about to leave, but he couldn't help but look back. In the afterglow of dusk, the courtyard seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, appearing cold and distant.

"Dake? Are you Cui Dake?"

At this moment, a voice that was both strange and familiar came from behind, breaking the silence in the alley.

Cui Dake turned around and recognized the person who spoke as Yi Zhonghai from Yard 95. He was just walking with his head down and didn't notice it.

To be honest, the two were not familiar with each other. During the few months they were in the courtyard, they had only spoken a few words. Most of the time, they just nodded to each other when they met, which was considered a greeting.

Cui Dake didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to take the initiative to greet him.

Today, Cui Dake is just a released prisoner from labor reform, while Yi Zhonghai is a "respected" old fitter in the steel rolling mill.

If he could establish a good relationship with him, it would undoubtedly be a hundred benefits to Cui Dake now.

Then, Cui Dake showed his signature smile and said apologetically, "Master Yi, it's time to get off work. I'm so sorry, I was just busy walking and didn't notice you."

Yi Zhonghai had already returned to the courtyard. When Qin Huairu and Cui Dake were talking, he had heard it, but he did not enter the courtyard, but hid in the corner to eavesdrop.

In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, Cui Dake is a person of use because he has never given up the idea of ​​letting Qin Huairu give birth to a child for him.

Now that Cui Dake suddenly appeared, this provided Yi Zhonghai with an opportunity, a great opportunity, an opportunity to control Qin Huairu.

However, Yi Zhonghai plans to make preparations for both scenarios.

If Qin Huairu agrees, that would be great; if she doesn't agree, then don't blame him for instigating Cui Dake.

He believed that if Cui Dake knew that he once had a child who died because of Banggeng, he would be filled with unspeakable anger.

In addition, he had just been released from prison, was ignored and ridiculed, and couldn't find a job. People tend to go to extremes at times like this.

As to whether the child is Cui Dake’s, it doesn’t matter anymore. Perhaps Cui Dake also needs an excuse to vent his anger.

In Yi Zhonghai's eyes, Cui Dake at the moment was like an unsharpened knife, waiting for him to sharpen it.

This knife is fatal to both Qin Huairu and Li Huaide.

Yi Zhonghai was convinced that Qin Huairu would not dare to refuse his conditions.

"Oh, it's really you, Dake. When did you come back? Why don't you go home? It's dark now, where are you going?" Yi Zhonghai asked in pretended surprise.

Cui Dake said self-deprecatingly: "Home? Where do I have a home?"

"That's not right. What about Qin Huairu? Everyone knows that you are a family. She can't be so cruel, right?"

"Alas," Cui Dake sighed, "I also didn't expect that Qin Huairu could only share the good times but not the bad times. I was blind, so I can't blame others."

"Come on, Dake, come back with me, I will talk to them for you." As he said that, Yi Zhonghai pulled Cui Dake and went back to the courtyard.

"No, no, no, Master Yi, I appreciate your kindness." Cui Dake quickly broke free from Yi Zhonghai's hand.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai didn’t really want to bring Cui Dake back, he was just acting.

"Dake, you are too kind and considerate, alas." Yi Zhonghai said again with a look of regret: "Dake, you should be more careful in the future. In this world, it is often the kind people who get hurt."

Cui Dake said gratefully: "Master Yi, you are right, I will remember it. When I find a job, I will treat you to a drink."

"I'll treat you. Let's go now." Yi Zhonghai said.

"No, no, no, Master Yi, Uncle Yi, I just came back and haven't settled down yet. Let's drink after I'm settled down." Cui Dake responded.

Eating and drinking are trivial matters. For Cui Dake now, finding a place to live is the top priority.

Originally, he planned to go to the street office to ask if he could rent a house. It didn't have to be too good, as long as there was a bed to sleep in.

But it was getting late, so he had to find a hotel. He didn't dare to wander around the streets at night, lest he be mistaken for a bad guy by patrol officers and arrested again.

"Okay then, Dake, it's settled. When you're settled, remember to let me know and I'll welcome you back." Yi Zhonghai said sincerely.

"Sure, sure." Cui Dake agreed.

Cui Dake left, feeling warm in his heart. There are still many good people in this world.

Everyone said that Yi Zhonghai was not good in this or that aspect, but he, Cui Dake, felt care and warmth from Yi Zhonghai's words.

It seems that Yi Zhonghai is also a good man who is misunderstood by the world.

Good people should not be misunderstood. One day, Cui Dake will clear Yi Zhonghai's name. Yi Zhonghai is an elder worthy of respect.

Not for anything else, just for these few heartwarming words today

Yi Zhonghai was well aware of Cui Dake's gratitude, and he was quite satisfied with it, especially with his performance today.

He thought to himself, if Cui Da could be as simple as Sha Zhu before, maybe he could try to train him and see if he could shape him into the kind of person he wanted to take care of in his old age.

However, Yi Zhonghai was well aware of Cui Dake's intelligence and ability.

Although the two did not have much contact, Cui Dake successfully entered the steel rolling mill with the help of a pig and was able to operate with ease. From this point of view, he is not a simple person.

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, if he had not reported it himself, with Cui Dake's cleverness, in the current environment of the movement storm, he would have climbed higher already, right?

But no matter how smart he was, what could he do? In the end, he was ruined by his own hands. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: What a pity for such a talented person.

As for talents, if others don't use them, then I will make good use of them. No matter what kind of person they are, as long as they can be used by me and become the knife in my hand, they are good people.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to have an in-depth conversation with Qin Huairu tonight.

I'll try to find out what she has to say and see if my deepest wish is possible to come true. If there is really no hope, then you can't blame me for being cruel.
