Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Chapter 219: Encounter in North Crescent Alley

After serving Yu Li dinner, Zhang Renkang packed a small suitcase of small yellow croaker and fifty bundles of large black croaker into a sack and lied to Yu Li that he had hidden them at Qin Jingru's place and would take them back after the house renovation was completed.

Yu Li didn't think much about it. When Lou Xiao'e left, Zhang Renkang had already taken ten small yellow croakers from their home for Lou Xiao'e. Yu Li still felt that it was too little and asked him to give all the yellow croakers to Lou Xiao'e. Now that she had a child, Yu Li no longer cared about Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru. No matter what happened, Zhang Renkang could not change the fact that she was the principal wife and his son was the legitimate son.

In the past few months, Zhang Renkang brought back more than 30 yellow croakers and a thousand yuan worth of big black croakers. Together with the 15 yellow croakers and 4,000 yuan he brought back before, a total of 45 yellow croakers and 5,000 yuan were brought back. This was what Zhang Renkang had brought back specially to comfort Yuli.

Yu Li asked Zhang Renkang to bring Lou Xiaoe ten yellow croakers that day. Looking at the remaining thirty-five yellow croakers and five thousand yuan, she said

"Since you gave Lou Xiao'e ten last time, you should also give Jingru ten yellow croakers, so that she won't accuse me of being partial in the future."

"We don't have much money left. Take out 500 yuan for circulation and give 500 yuan to Qin Jingru so that she can buy some clothes and prepare some things for the courtyard over there. Aren't you going to marry her? You have to give some cloth and rice to her parents' home, right?"

"Save the rest and give it back to me next month, understand?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Madam, you want to share the spoils equally, but what about me? Won't you give me some?"

Yu Li rolled her eyes at him and smiled.

"Which girl do you like now? Your little secretary"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I think Tang Yan is pretty too."

Zhang Renkang dared not answer and smiled bitterly

"Lily, I don't have anything against Xiao Tang, don't think too much about it."

“I don’t have any thoughts at all now.”

Yu Li punched Zhang Renkang in anger and groaned.

"You didn't mean that. I noticed your secretary's eyes were on you."

"Why do you have to find a female secretary? You can't use a male one?"

"Director Yang's secretary Liu Gan is doing fine."

"Li Huaide doesn't even have a secretary"

Zhang Renkang smiled and hugged Yu Li and said

"I was unemployed at the time. Li Huaide was not qualified to be a secretary. The entire personnel department almost became his secretariat."

"I had some small things that I had to find someone to run errands for. It happened that Xiao Tang was cleaning up the office when I went to the Ideological and Political Affairs Committee that day, so I asked her to do it."

Then Zhang Renkang pretended to be serious and said

"If you don't like it, I'll change it tomorrow."

Yu Li hummed and said dissatisfiedly

"You want to change? Let people say I'm a jealous woman? Or something like that."

"I'm warning you, Zhang Renkang, you'd better keep this in mind. I'll admit it to you, Jingru, but if you bring anyone else home, I'll punish you."

Zhang Renkang laughed

"No, I promise, I promise the leader no."

"I was saying that my Lily's belly can hold a boat, why is she so petty?"

He touched Yu Li's buttocks and dodged her hand with a smile.

After Yu Li closed the door and went to sleep, Zhang Renkang sensed that there was no one watching him, so he sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night. As soon as he got out, he put the sack and suitcase into the space, put on a camouflage mask and headed towards the street where Lu Sanye was.

Arriving at Beiyueya Hutong, Zhang Renkang vaguely felt something was wrong. Although there was no one in his sensing range, he always felt like he was being watched. Zhang Renkang knew that he was probably discovered when he came here. After seeing that the National Security Bureau had tracked down Mr. Kang and locked onto Lu Sanye and his gang, it was not surprising. These old and young people of the Qing Dynasty were not good at anything else, but they were the best at showing off. It was estimated that the National Security Bureau had been keeping an eye on these people for a long time.

Zhang Renkang had an idea in mind, and pretended not to notice and continued walking towards Beiyueya Hutong. In the second courtyard near Mr. Lu Sanye's courtyard, Zhang Renkang sensed the heartbeats and breathing of five or six people. He smiled and turned around and ran to the entrance of the alley.

The national security inside was just doing a routine check, but they unexpectedly found traces of Zhang Renkang disguised as Mr. Kang. They really thought they were going to catch this big fish, but he ran away. The four people opened the door and chased him, but by the time they ran out of the alley, they had lost track of Zhang Renkang.

Wu Lei, the leader of the team, stomped his feet and shouted

"Let the city defense patrol search together. I don't believe he can disappear."

"Remember to be careful and don't disturb others"

Then he took the two of them and chased in the direction where Mr. Kang disappeared.

Zhang Renkang was so sneaky that he ran for a while and then changed direction while they were not catching up with him and slipped back from Nanyueya Hutong. He stepped on the wall of the courtyard and quietly approached Mr. Lu Sanye's residence. Wu Lei and the others would never have thought that Zhang Renkang would dare to come back again, let alone that there were such counterintuitive things as space and martial arts in the world. They had already searched in the direction where he disappeared.

Zhang Renkang jumped down from the edge of the wall and said softly

"Okay, Quanzi, stop hiding. It's me. Those people are chasing the air."

Quanzi approached carefully with a pistol in his hand and found that it was Mr. Kang who carefully led him into a room behind the courtyard and said nervously:

"Mr. Kang, why are you here? There are police outside."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"It should be gone by now. I just led them to chase it."

"Where's the Third Master? I have something to talk to him about."

Quan Zi said with admiration

"Mr. Kang is really an expert. He was able to shake them off and still dare to come back. I admire him."

"I will go and call the master, please wait."

Then he opened the door and went to call Master Lu San.

After a while, Mr. Lu San, wearing a black and gold patterned jacket, pushed the door open with a smile and said softly:

"Mr. Kang is really skilled and courageous, awesome, awesome!"

Zhang Renkang laughed

"If you don't have the ability, how dare you do this?"

"Master Lu, I came here this time to tell you something."

Master Lu nodded and said

"Even if Mr. Kang doesn't tell me, I know what's going on. We didn't do our job well and you are the ones who have to bear the consequences."

"I'm really sorry that the news leaked out and attracted attention."

Mr. Lu thought it was the grandson of the Beile Mansion showing off that his family had meat, which attracted the attention of the police and implicated Zhang Renkang.

Zhang Renkang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said

"Since Third Master knows about this, we will temporarily stop cooperating with him. We have to hide from the spotlight and cooperate with Third Master again after a while."

Master Lu nodded and said

"That's fine. We can still hold out for a few more months at home. It's all because I was sentimental and shouldn't have brought them along to work together."

"When Mr. Kang is ready, I will apologize to him."

Then he motioned to Quanzi to bring a small box and said

"Here are ten yellow croakers, as an apology to Mr. Kang."

Zhang Renkang waved his hand and said with a smile

"Third Master, you are particular, but this is not a big deal. Since we have done it, we are mentally prepared. There is no need for this, so as not to hurt our relationship."

"If you trust me, please wait for my next notification."

Master Lu nodded and said with a smile

"Okay, Mr. Kang is a man of great accomplishments. I appreciate your kindness."

Then Master Lu San solemnly signaled Quan Zi to leave, and then looked at Zhang Renkang and asked softly:

"Mr. Kang, do you have any news? Are the higher-ups planning to do anything to us former dynasty officials?"

Zhang Renkang looked at Mr. Lu San carefully for a while, then sighed and said:

"It's not directed at you, it's directed at all people of opposing classes"

"If you can trust me, I will get rid of all the foreign toys and old things in my house."

"You can't hide it if you bury it in the yard"

As he said this, he pointed to the ginkgo tree outside the house. Uncle Lu's face changed and he said

"Is it really impossible to avoid it?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Look at what ordinary people wear and use. If they can't find anything, then it's no big deal."

"It's nothing more than a struggle session. You just need to follow suit and curse."

Master Lu nodded and smiled.

"That's right. My life is in jeopardy now. What's the point of being so particular? My ancestors won't blame me for anything."

"Mr. Kang, we will remember your kindness. Please let us know if you have anything to ask."

Zhang Renkang laughed

"In that case, I'll leave first, so as to avoid the trouble when I come back."

Master Lu nodded and watched Zhang Renkang walk out of the house, lean against the wall and disappear into the darkness. He sighed and said

"What the hell is this world?"

He turned around and went back to sleep. I guess Mr. Lu couldn't sleep either, as he was thinking about how to protect his family.
