Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Qin Huairu was dragged into the cement pipe by Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng. Qin Huairu struggled symbolically for a few times and then let them drag him away. Xu Damao said with a sly grin:

"Sister Qin, have you figured it out?"

As he spoke, he pinched Qin Huairu's huge fruit twice. Qin Huairu blocked her granary with her arms and begged bitterly.

"Da Mao, Jie Cheng, you can't treat me like this. Have you forgotten how close Dong Xu was to you guys?"

Yan Jiecheng was hesitant. He still couldn't get over it. More importantly, he didn't have the courage. He said in a low voice:

"Brother Damao, forget it, we are all in the same yard and it will be so ugly when the time comes."

Qin Huairu also pleaded after hearing what Yan Jiecheng said.

"Da Mao, we are from the same courtyard, how can you bully me like this?"

"Da Mao, I will work hard, please forgive me."

Xu Damao was already mentally twisted. His father and mother kept a close watch on Gao Jun, fearing that Xu Damao would hurt the child. Besides, Qin Huairu was not in Sha Zhu's heart, okay? Xu Damao wanted Sha Zhu to see Qin Huairu being ridden by thousands of people after he came out. Only in this way could he make Sha Zhu suffer the heart-wrenching pain.

Xu Damao growled with a ferocious face.

"I say, Yan Jiecheng, why the hell are you so cowardly? No wonder your blind date was snatched away by someone else. Now that it's come to this, you say forget it. Are you capable of it? If not, find someone else. There are other brothers waiting in line behind you."

"Don't you forget who beat you up so hard that you couldn't get out of bed and who mocked you every other day?"

Yan Jiecheng made Xu Damao's eyes red with excitement. Although no one made a fuss about Yu Li being intercepted by Zhang Renkang, this has always been a thorn in Yan Jiecheng's heart. Who can accept that his blind date has fallen in love with someone else while dating him? Although he and Yu Li have not confirmed their relationship yet, Yan Jiecheng still hates Zhang Renkang in his heart.

The other one is Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu was the best-off peer in the hospital before Zhang Renkang rose to prominence. He could not see that Yan Jiecheng was living off his parents at home, so he would mock him whenever he saw him. In addition, Sha Zhu could not bear Yan Bugui's calculating look, so he scolded Yan Jiecheng from top to bottom, and was even more ruthless when he got physical. Last year, he beat Yan Jiecheng so hard that he had to lie in bed for three days before he recovered. With Yi Zhonghai's favoritism, he paid three yuan for the Yan family's medical expenses.

Zhang Renkang is in a high position and he is powerful, so he cannot afford to offend him. How can he not offend Sha Zhu who is in labor reform? Yan Jiecheng said to Qin Huairu angrily.

"Get down and stick your butt out."

Qin Huairu was even more frightened when she saw Yan Jiecheng's murderous eyes. She knelt on the ground and begged them. However, Yan Jiecheng had lost his mind due to Xu Damao's stimulation and didn't care about Qin Huairu's begging. He grabbed her hair and pressed her against the pipe wall.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to shout loudly. Xu Damao had already warned her that if she didn't listen to their arrangements, she would have to learn from Yi Zhonghai's procedures. Xu Damao also threatened Qin Huairu to kick Banggeng out of school and criticize him. Banggeng was a filthy person with bad deeds in the school and in his studies. If he was pulled out by Xu Damao, his life would be ruined.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to bet on whether Xu Damao, the madman, would dare to do that, so she had to let them do whatever they wanted to her.

At this moment, Zhang Renkang was discussing with Song Gang how to place Xu Damao. His current state of mind was not suitable for being in the patrol team for a long time, otherwise his reputation would be ruined. Zhang Renkang set up the patrol team to prevent some elements in society from attacking the factory and the workers' family compound, not to join other young generals and armed teams in smashing, looting and burning.

Suddenly Tang Yan knocked on the door and came in, followed by three men in Mao suits. Tang Yan said

"President, these three comrades said they are here to see you."

Zhang Renkang looked over in confusion. The leader was a resolute middle-aged man. He walked steadily and relaxedly, and knew he was of high status. Zhang Renkang nodded and said to Song Gang and Lu Yong:

"Go back and think about it. If you have a good idea, come to me. Send the person to the Security Department as soon as possible and let Director Chen send someone to train him."

Then he sent them both out and asked with a smile:

"Who are the three comrades?"

The middle-aged man in the lead smiled and said

"Zhang Renkang, Director Zhang, right? We are from the fourth division of the National Security Bureau. We came to you to find out something."

Zhang Renkang's heart sank, and he nodded without changing his expression.

"Tang Yan, pour a glass of water for the three comrades, and you go out and wait."

He motioned for the three of them to sit down. The middle-aged man sat on the single sofa on the east side. The two young men moved a chair to one side and sat behind him, looking at Zhang Renkang. After Tang Yan poured them some water, Zhang Renkang motioned for her to go out first and asked,

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

The middle-aged man laughed.

"My name is Wu Lei, and I'm the head of the fourth section of the National Security Bureau. You can call me Captain Wu. This time I came to you about the supplies. There are some things we want to know."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"You can ask me. I will report what I know to the organization truthfully."

Wu Lei nodded and asked

"We understand that you got some supplies for your steel mill from some channel at the end of October last year. There was a lot of meat, right? Where did you get it from? How did you get it?"

Zhang Renkang smiled bitterly

“I guess you’re looking for this.”

Wu Lei said with a smile

"Don't be nervous, my friend. We just want to find you to understand the situation. After all, the materials you obtained are for the workers in the steel mill, not for your own profit, right?"

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Captain Wu, I won't hide it from you. I went to Pigeon City at night in early October last year to get some eggs and see if there was anything good."

"I happened to meet a middle-aged man with his face covered. I bought more than 20 eggs from him. I later learned that his name was Mr. Kang."

"In mid-October, around the 15th or 16th, I ran into him again when I went to Pigeon Market to buy eggs at night. I saw that he seemed to have a lot of eggs. At that time, you all know that there was a shortage of supplies everywhere. The steel mill had been worried for a long time. At that time, I was just a team leader in the kitchen of the steel mill. I wanted to solve this problem for the factory, so that we would not be scolded by the workers in the kitchen every day."

"I just asked him how much he had and whether it was okay for us to take it for a long time."

"That's how it was. Later, he approached me to provide us with things and gave me 200 yuan a month. Of course, I didn't dare to take the money. I donated it to the street office. You can go to the street office to ask."

Wu Lei nodded and said

"We are aware of this situation, so we don't intend to hold you responsible, but I have a question, where did they get the supplies from, and why is the price so low?"

Zhang Renkang shook his head and explained

"I was also surprised. At first I was worried that their price was too high and the factory couldn't afford it, but the price they offered was almost cheaper than the market price. At first I was worried that they were cheating."

"But after talking to him, we exchanged the money and the goods at night. I thought there would be no problem. The security department would have weapons there. Besides, the patrol camp is only three kilometers outside the city, so we don't have to worry about them causing trouble."

"You all know the rest, there were no major problems after trading for two or three months."

"As for where the supplies came from, I can't explain your question, Captain Wu. He can't tell me, right? After all, I wasn't allowed to participate in the transaction."

Wu Lei nodded and continued

"We investigated the surrounding communes within dozens of kilometers, including General Zhang Yuhua's military camp, and found no missing supplies, so we were very surprised. I also have samples of the goods they traded with you every time, and they are all very fresh, not like they are from outside."

"How did you get in touch?"

Zhang Renkang said

"When I go to Pigeon City, someone will look for me. Every time I wear a grey scarf, someone will call me and ask me to lead the way."

Wu Lei said

"Do you remember where?"

Zhang Renkang said

"Not necessarily. Sometimes it's in the alley on the left side of the Lotus Market. It's so dark that I can't tell which alley I'm in after turning left or right. Sometimes it's in the woods next to the Lotus Market."

"There are always one or two people. I have only seen three at most."

Wu Lei asked

"Why didn't you go later?"

Zhang Renkang smiled bitterly

"Once my uncle told me that you were watching me, I would never dare to go again. I'm not doing this for myself. If the factory had no other choice, I wouldn't want to deal with these people."

"So we are trying every possible way to go to Miyun to seek cooperation with the commune. Although the price and quantity are a little lower, at least it is a legitimate source."

Wu Lei smiled and said

"Comrade Zhang Renkang, please don't feel too burdened. We know what you have done. You are still a good comrade who is conscientious and responsible. We would like to ask you for a favor, okay?"

Zhang Renkang wondered

"what?"

Wu Lei said

"Please help us contact him again."

Zhang Renkang looked at Wu Lei in surprise and then said

"Hey, aren't you harming me? Besides, you can't even find out who they are. What if they retaliate against me?"

Wu Lei said seriously

"Comrade Zhang Renkang, these people have seriously threatened the security of the country. As a candidate who is about to join the organization, how can you be so ignorant?"

Then Wu Lei said softly

"We don't want you to do anything, just keep looking for him. If he contacts you, you should do the deal as you wish. The rest has nothing to do with you."

Zhang Renkang looked at Wu Lei with a wry smile, and said after a while

"It's okay for me to go there at night, but I can't be sure they are still there. Also, if they don't look for me, I don't know who their people are. You need to figure it out for yourselves."

Wu Lei laughed

"Okay, we will have plainclothes officers follow you tonight, but they will not contact you. You just need to behave normally and don't worry about anything else."

Zhang Renkang nodded and agreed. He then accepted some more inquiries from Wu Lei. Suddenly, Wu Lei asked

"Do you know Lou Xiao'e?"

Zhang Renkang sighed inwardly and said with a normal expression

"Lou Xiao'e is our neighbor in the courtyard. Our two families live in the same courtyard, so of course we know each other."

Wu Lei then said

"Do you guys keep in touch? I heard that she attended your wedding and stayed alone with your lover at your house for a while."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Captain Wu, why are you asking that? We have a very good relationship. Before she and Xu Damao divorced, we lived just a few steps away from each other. Besides, Xu Damao and I often drank together, so naturally I was familiar with her."

"As for you saying that he attended our wedding, I was also a little surprised. After all, I didn't invite her, and I don't know how she knew about it. But my acquaintance with Lou Xiao'e has nothing to do with this matter, right?"

Wu Lei smiled and said

"It's nothing, but her family is a big capitalist. I'm just curious why you have such a good relationship."

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Lou Xiao'e is a pretty good person, and in my opinion, she's a bit stupid and simple-minded. Since you've investigated me, you should know some things about our courtyard, so it's not surprising that she and I have a good relationship, right?"

"You're right. She's a big capitalist, and I'm a proletarian. So after she got divorced, we didn't have much contact. To be honest, I was puzzled when she came that day, but it was difficult to chase her away, so I had to let my wife receive her."

Wu Lei nodded and smiled

"Yes, you are from different classes, so you are naturally opposed. OK, Comrade Zhang Renkang, we understand. Someone will come to find you tonight."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Okay, I will fully cooperate with the organization if it needs anything."

After saying this, he escorted Wu Lei and his group out of the office and watched their jeep drive outside the factory. He turned around and headed towards the office building.

I haven't written very well in the past three days. I was limited by the vocabulary and the words I used to explain things. I was not very satisfied after reading it. I'm sorry, brothers.
