Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Ever since Chen Zhaodi said those nonsense to Hu Meihua, the rumors have become completely distorted.

From Hu Meihua's mouth, these words became: Xiao Li said Qin Huairu was particularly liked by the first master, and Qin Huairu also understood the first master's heart very well, and did everything for the first master first. Because Xiao Li told the truth, Qin Huairu targeted him.

Then other people heard that Qin Huairu was particularly liked by the old man and could do anything for him. It was also because of Qin Huairu that Jia Dongxu was accepted as the old man's apprentice. Xiao Li discovered the truth and Qin Huairu was afraid, so she deliberately targeted him.

After further spread, it was said that Qin Huairu had a close relationship with Daye, and Jia Dongxu was able to become Daye's apprentice because of Qin Huairu. Because he was in pain, he complained to Xiao Li next door. Qin Huairu found out and was afraid that Xiao Li would tell others, so she spread rumors and slandered Xiao Li in an attempt to drive Xiao Li away.

Then, Qin Huairu and the uncle had known each other for a long time and had a very good relationship. She married Jia Dongxu because they lived in the same courtyard and could see each other every day. Then the uncle accepted Jia Dongxu as his apprentice. This matter was discovered by Xiao Li, and Qin Huairu was afraid, so she tried her best to discredit Xiao Li and drive him away.

Why is there always a Xiao Li in the middle? It is mainly Qin Huairu's own fault. It was she who reminded Hu Meihua at that time. Xiao Li gave Chen Zhaodi two handfuls of unknown good things and also whispered to her for a long time.

Then Hu Meihua learned from Chen Zhaodi the words that Xiao Li had fabricated. Putting the facts together, it turned out that Xiao Li had discovered some secret between Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai, but he didn't want to say it explicitly in front of the children, so he said those two vague sentences.

Later, after confirming with others that Qin Huairu had indeed taken the lead over Jia Dongxu in helping Aunt Xu up, he truly believed the "facts" that he had speculated.

Combined with the fact that Qin Huairu was the only one who said that Xiao Li's family ate meat in different ways every day, in her heart, Qin Huairu just disliked Xiao Li and wanted to force him to leave in order to cover up her secret.

In this way, by accident, Xiao Li was temporarily rescued from the predicament.

Aunt Jin and the others listened to Qin Huairu talking and found that she was talking about Xiao Li.

Hey, doesn't this prove that Qin Huairu is indeed suppressing Xiao Li?

Aunt Jin and the other two were even more certain of the truth of the rumor. If that was the case, how could they possibly tell the rumor to Qin Huairu?

So, what Qin Huairu could find out was that there were a few people from other courtyards who wanted to find out about Sha Zhu's situation. If the person was suitable, they could set Sha Zhu up with someone and arrange a blind date for him.

When Yi Zhonghai heard the news, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but this was all Qin Huairu had heard, so he had to give up.

As for Sha Zhu's blind date, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Although the deaf old lady advised him to be nicer to Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu was too reckless. Not only did he not listen to him, but he also didn't give him any face at all. So why should he still take care of Sha Zhu and make himself angry?

At this time, Jia Zhang had not yet done anything to the point where she had angered everyone and was disliked by everyone in the courtyard, so no one would ask her about it.

After all, they have been neighbors for many years, so they should have some sense of propriety.

Thus, the compound was in this eerie silence, just waiting for someone to break it.

On the fifth day of the New Year, Xiao Li came back from the countryside and found that many people were asking him about strange things.

"Hey, Xiao Li, are you so familiar with Jia Dongxu? Why did he tell you something like this?"

Xiao Li was confused and didn't know what the other party was talking about. However, out of caution, he still replied vaguely: "I've only been here for a few days, how can I be that familiar with you? Well, it's not that, it's hard to say, hard to say."

As he spoke, he shook his head and saw Qin Huairu coming out of the Jia family next door out of the corner of his eye, so he glanced at her inadvertently.

His vague words and actions seemed to be a clear proof.

The people who were asking the questions had gleams in their eyes, and they carefully confirmed: "Did you really see what they did?" As they spoke, they raised their eyebrows, squinted their eyes, and raised their heads, with a very excited expression.

Xiao Li was even more confused. What was this talking about?

He was afraid that what he said might be distorted, so he quickly denied it: "I didn't see anything, I really didn't see anything."

Several people didn't believe it. If you hadn't seen it, why did you often peek at Qin Huairu? You even took a look at her in such a short period of time.

At this time, they forgot that they themselves often peeked.

Someone else asked, "Which village is your home in?"

Seeing that he no longer asked strange questions, Xiao Li heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's in Ginkgo Village at the bottom of Changping."

Several people looked at each other. Changping, isn't that Qin Huairu's hometown? It's so close, no wonder he knew these two things, and no wonder Qin Huairu wanted to drive him away.

A few people started laughing again, which made Xiao Li feel uneasy.

He didn't know what was wrong with these people today, and what nonsense they were asking. He was afraid of getting himself into trouble, so he quickly said, "I just got back, and my house is so dirty. I'll go back and clean it up first, and we'll talk again when I have time."

A few people thought they had received great news, but they didn't care. They waved their hands and said, "Okay, you're busy, you're busy."

Then they separated again and spread the rumors that they had processed.

By the time of dinner, the rumor had spread beyond the Jia and Yi families and had spread throughout the compound.

Chen Zhaodi heard the latest version of the rumor: Xiao Li knew about the affair between Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai when he was in his hometown of Changping. When he came to the city and was assigned to this courtyard, Qin Huairu was afraid that Xiao Li would talk nonsense, so she wanted to take advantage of Yi Zhonghai's power to label Xiao Li as an enemy spy. As a result, Xiao Li was very stubborn and asked the police and the street office for proof.

Qin Huairu did not give up and spread rumors that Xiao Li's family ate all kinds of precious meat in different ways every day, trying to label Xiao Li as a landlord who was greedy for pleasure. Fortunately, everyone in the yard had sharp eyes and was not deceived by Qin Huairu.

Xiao Li felt wronged, so in order to take revenge on Qin Huairu, he told Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai about their affair. Otherwise, everyone in the compound would be kept in the dark.

This rumor sounds very reasonable.

If Chen Zhaodi was not the first person to fabricate this rumor, she would have actually believed it.

Now that the rumor has become like this, she is a little panicked. After all, in this era, she knows how much harm such rumors can do to women. She just wants to cause some trouble for Qin Huairu to distract her and stop her from staring at others. She doesn't want to hurt anyone, let alone take anyone's life.

However, now that the rumor has spread and my mother no longer recognizes it, I have to find a solution.

So I said goodbye to my family, took some toilet paper, and went to the toilet.

When she passed by Xiao Li's house, she saw that the door was closed. She felt very sorry but did not dare to go to his house. After all, she had told Hu Meihua that she was not familiar with Xiao Li.

When she was walking slowly towards the toilet, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. When she turned around, it was Xiao Li.
